[Everyone Gets Cards + Urban High Martial Arts + Deck Building + Academy + Calamity + One Female Lead + Imaginative Power Fantasy]
Seventy-two years after the Riftlands descended, cards became humanity's only supernatural power for fighting monsters.
At eighteen, everyone awakened their own card tome.
Some summoned dragons, some commanded thunder, and some could cleave through a hundred-meter battlefield with a single sword card.
Xu Zhou, however, awakened an unprecedented [City-Domain Card Tome].
It contained no divine beasts or forbidden spells.
Only [Traffic Light], [Old Street Lamp], [Fire Hydrant], [Bus Stop], [Community Clinic]...
Everyone thought he had awakened a useless card tome with no combat power.
Until a high-speed rift beast charged toward a crowd.
Xu Zhou raised his hand and placed down a stop line.
The traffic light turned red.
The charging monster came to an abrupt halt before everyone's eyes, if only for an instant.
In the next moment, a spear pierced its head!
And that was only the first card in his city deck.
Streetlights could reveal the invisible and expose weaknesses.
Fire hydrants could blast enemies back, cool things down, and purify them.
Subways, hospitals, power grids, communication towers, ports, airports...
As one unremarkable infrastructure card after another connected into neighborhoods, transportation networks, rescue networks, and even a complete city...
Others went to battle carrying a deck.
Xu Zhou brought an entire city.
And when the white calamity sweeping the world finally arrived, people realized:
This city that everyone had taken for granted
might be humanity's last trump card.
There's something wrong with the language style. It's like a human-machine. It's all about logic and procedures, and the protagonist has no emotions. I've recently seen several books with this strange language style, such as "Please Observe Turn-Based Etiquette" and so on. Is this thing AI?
