Description

Jaden Harris is a professional card player, playing the trading card game Magigio. That is until he wakes up drunk in a field with no idea where he is. The addition of a shy french maiden who barely speaks english, and a fiery red-head with a black belt compound his problems. Not to mention that the world has ended, and the afterlife is run by a cartoon paperclip. Will Jaden be able to survive the end of the world, learn magic, and deal with the cruel whims of a sarcastically cheerful god-like being?

Note: Anything posted here is essentially the rough draft for a book that will eventually be posted to amazon/kindle unlimited. I apologize for any spelling/grammar issues, they'll be sorted out when my editor/wife does the editing.

Extra note: the stat pages are intended to be red, but there is no color option on the text editor for this website. As a result, they default to black. Sorry, I'm doing the best I can with what I have.

    This is a great story, with a decent system with quite a bit of room for growth. The way it uses a cross between standard fantasy summoning, yugioh and magic the gathering for the main character presents several distinct possibilities I can't wait to see. So please post more chapters
    P.S. the editor for royal road uses html, so I believe you can make the texts for the stat screens red
    like so

    It was interesting enough but I gave up around chapter 15 . It's the end of the world and the main character finds a way  to have basically unlimited power but doesn't take it. It doesn't really make sense in the situation, and it seems like the decision was made more as an excuse it set up for some of the problems the story is foreshadowing.
    Unique idea for a magic system, interesting characters combined with some funny bits. But the point above and the whole situation it was setting up didn't make much sense.
