In the third year of the Card Era, the world has completed its metabolism. The strong ones use the divine cards they draw to divide their territory, while the weak ones become the nourishment of the card rules.
I, Xiao Ying, have become their worst nightmare. My ability is not to draw cards, but to plunder.
After killing the target, I can extract the core "card soul" from the dissipated card energy and refine it into my own [Shadow Card]. Tear off a corner of [City Burning Flame] from the "Fire Witch" and turn it into the "Whispering Embers" accompanied by a shrill wail when burning; take away the core of the "Mirror Maze" from the "Trickster" and turn it into a [True Reflection] that reflects the user's inner fear. Each shadow card is a fragment of the original owner's power and obsession.
They called me "the card eater" in fear, but they didn't know that every time they devoured it, the roars of countless dead souls took root deep in my soul. The stronger the power of the cards, the more eroding that cold obsession becomes.
