On the third day of the apocalypse, Wang Nian's own uncle locked him beneath a shopping mall to lure away a horde of corpses. Everyone thought he was as good as dead, but he sealed an attacking corpse-rat into the first card of his life.
Before the disaster, Wang Nian was a game-balance designer for a card game. Afterward, he awakened the rule-level ability Card Domain: monsters, equipment, skills, even locations could all be sealed into physical cards. While others fought with brute-force abilities, he used his knack for numbers to see through hidden formulas, combined low-tier cards into powerful decks, and turned the tide with combos.
From a corpse-rat card to a safe house, from surviving alone to assembling a deck for the apocalypse, he searches for his missing sister while fighting the Card Council, which seeks to monopolize the power to seal cards.
In this apocalypse, everyone else just wants to survive. Wang Nian intends to build the entire world into his own deck.
