[Cards + Ruthless Protagonist + Not Mindless Power Fantasy + Fusion + No Female Lead + Slow-Burn Pace + Gets Better as It Goes]
At eighteen, Lin Daoping had just gotten into a great university and seemed destined for a bright future, when a truck hit him and sent him flying.
When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated to another world.
A voice in his mind told him that this world had 200 cards, each granting a different supernatural ability. The colors ranged from gray and green to blue, purple, and red. The brighter the color, the stronger the ability.
But he had obtained a black card called “Boundless.”
His task was to collect every card in the world.
Everyone else could use only one card at a time.
Li Daoping: “Sorry, I can fuse cards without limit. In theory, I can use the abilities of every card at once.”
All he wanted was to go home, back to the future that was supposed to be his.
So he followed the instructions and began collecting cards.
Anyone who got in his way, he killed.
Anyone who tried to steal from him, he killed.
The man who had just tried to ambush him was now kneeling and begging for mercy. “Don’t kill me. I’ll give you anything.”
Li Daoping looked down at him and asked, “When you were trying to kill me, did you ever think about sparing me?”
His blade fell.
His friends said he was too ruthless.
He replied, “I barely managed to come back to life. I don’t want to die again.”
Then one day, after collecting his 199th card, he suddenly understood…
Why the 200th card was himself.
The communication between consciousness in the brain is a bit poorly written and requires the protagonist's opinion. It would be better to let the protagonist directly obtain the ability.
