Soothing Cards

After waking up from a nap, Su Wenli found himself as a background character in a book, with only 365 days left to live.

A severely injured man he picked up briefly distracted him, but before long the man left without a word. Su Wenli then took his university acceptance letter and headed for the capital planet.

He had hoped to learn something at school, but his mental strength was too low, and he was dismissed on the spot.

Only after returning home did he discover that he'd awakened a gray card called Soothing. It was completely useless and often failed to summon anything.

But when the card reached max level, five simple words suddenly appeared on its description page.

“Suppresses Madness Value”

Madness value?

What is that?

In this time and place, everyone awakens their divine blessing at the age of eighteen and receives a legacy card.

A card's color represents its owner's talent.

Among them, the special golden legacy cards are held without exception by the most famous and powerful figures of the age.

But the greater the card's power, the more severe the backlash.

The brilliant emperor, the invincible marshal, the master strategist of the senate, the ruthless and cunning leader of the space pirates

They are destined to be extraordinary geniuses, and destined to descend into madness before the age of thirty.

This has been the sole fate of golden-card holders throughout history, without exception.

Until a livestream quietly appeared.

At the request of his fans, an anonymous streamer casually summoned an unprecedented gray card.

It lasted only one second before vanishing from his hand.

“Sorry, I failed again.”

But no one cared.

The flood of comments and gifts quickly covered the screen.

Because that one second had given every viewer in the livestream a taste of perfect clarity, something they could only dream of!

“Sir, this is the streamer suspected of being able to suppress the backlash.”

The man sitting in the seat of honor had been listening with little interest, but when his sharp, cold gaze swept over the projection and saw the pair of hands on-screen, he abruptly sat up straight and slowly rose.

“...Sir?”

The man paid no attention, only gazing intently at the scene in the projection.

Good.

I've finally found you.
