In this future world, ravaged by the [Ghost Tide], humanity summons gods and spirits to fight ghosts and monsters. In reality, however, every card houses a twisted spirit.
Gods are not gods, and Buddhas are not Buddhas. They are all monsters.
So sealing gods, Buddhas, ghosts, and monsters into cards and using them comes at a price.
At best, you lose a limb or your sight. At worst, your soul becomes a sacrifice.
But Cui Ninghuo, who transmigrated here, can avoid the price and even see everything on the backs of the cards.
[Medusa] requires the sacrifice of your eyes to grant [Petrification], but the user will gradually turn to stone as well.
[Ghoul] requires you to gnaw on the bones of your own kind to gain [Toxic Corrosion].
[Nightmare] requires you to make a pact with a monster to gain [Illusion Control], but it costs you thirty years of life.
But...
[Checking the price]
[Waiving the price]
[Price successfully waived]
And so, in a world overrun by ghosts and monsters, Cui Ninghuo chooses to directly purify the corrupted cards of righteous gods.
Characters: [City God] [Black and White Impermanence] [Ox-Head and Horse-Face]...
Skills: [Fiery Eyes] [Five Thunders Magic]...
Items: [City God Seal] [Mourning Staff]...
In the end, Cui Ninghuo takes the throne.
"What ghost stands before me? This is the Underworld."
Coming soon: Cards: My First Choice Is the Beggar Card
Li Shi'an transmigrates to a parallel world where cards are the source of power.
Here, all kinds of alternate dimensions are invading, the literary path has faded, and supernatural abilities reign supreme.
People awaken as card masters using fragments of source cards left behind by ancient civilizations. They use cards to summon heroic spirits, monsters, and constructs to fight.
But the world's history was completely severed by a cataclysm. Aside from the most basic card-rank classifications, nobody knows the stories behind the figures on the Heroic Spirit cards.
As a newly awakened card master, Li Shi'an stands before the beginner card pool, while his instructor impatiently urges him on.
"Make it quick. Pulling a militiaman or apprentice from a yellow card would already be pretty good."
One person draws a Novice Swordsman card and raises an eyebrow smugly. Another pulls a Healing Apprentice card and beams.
But Li Shi'an... tries searching a name in the card pool.
When you first awaken, you can either draw a random yellow card or choose a specific white card.
Li Shi'an clicks confirm, and a card appears in his hand. When he sees the disheveled beggar on its face, his heart races.
"You chose a beggar card? Have you given up already?"
"White cards are useless enough as it is, and you picked the most useless class card?"
The instructor pushes up his glasses, disappointment flashing in his eyes. "A card master's dignity lies in forming contracts with the mighty. This choice of yours..."
One of the competitors even sneers, "Want me to throw in a begging bowl card to complete the set? No point wasting your awakening chance."
But Li Shi'an clutches the card tightly, his knuckles turning white.
He lowers his head and turns the card over.

In the text, when the protagonist recalls the original owner's five failed attempts at summoning spirits, is the phrase "useless" used by the protagonist to insult the original owner? Why would the protagonist use this phrase?
The author changed the entire text? 😂
... Even more useless than the original owner
