Western Fantasy: Card Magic, and My Cheat Is a Thousand-Year-Old Girl

Li Ang transmigrates into the body of a slave boy named Leon, locked in a wooden cage at the Kantadar military camp and left to die. No System, no status screen, only cold shackles and blank stares. Lohak is kicked until he vomits blood while protecting his sister, and Azerien breaks his ration in half to share with him. The three have barely exchanged names before they're dragged out of camp to be sold.

On the way to their destination, a girl's voice sounds in his mind: Remember this spell seal, Isa's Arrow. As soon as he learns the gesture, the shackles spring open and a beam of light explodes from his fingertips, blasting a mercenary's arm apart with a single arrow.

On the run, they strip clothes from corpses, evade the army, and spend the night in an abandoned village. Azerien realizes a war is underway in the north. Lohak grits his teeth and decides to enlist first, earn money, and then rescue his sister. But Leon still can't figure out where the voice inside him comes from, until wild goblins attack their camp late at night. As flames illuminate their twisted faces, the voice speaks again: Aim the card at them.

Li Ang looks down. A glowing rune card has appeared in his palm, with four words engraved along its edge: Millennium Contract.
