Hu Le is a hardcore homebody. Aside from staying at home, her only hobby is using the bizarre decks she's designed in various card games to make her opponents lose their minds in every possible way. As usual, she sends an emote, finishes them off, and declines their friend requests. But the next moment, she finds herself in another world...
"No one told me you could transmigrate just by playing cards!"
Hu Le is completely baffled, but there's good news: people play cards in this world too. In fact, play well enough and you can easily reach the peak of life and become a god. The bad news is that she doesn't have any cards, and she's about to be expelled from the academy.
As a newcomer with no connections, Hu Le can't let herself get expelled. She starts looking for a way to get cards, only to be told she has to gather materials and make, write, and draw them herself. As long as they follow the rules, they can become cards?
Hu Le often thinks the game companies are too conservative with their designs and that her decks aren't bizarre enough. She falls into deep thought...
The next day, a player with the ID "Better to Have Fun Together" appears out of nowhere in the academy's virtual arena, crushing so many opponents that they're left wailing and praying before ranked matches, begging the gods not to match them against her.
Interviews from the victims' perspective:
Bystander A: Can someone tell me what a [Book of Life and Death] is? What does [Yan Wang Calls Your Name] mean? I had 16 cards left in my deck, and she tore up two of them? Wait! How can you tear up your opponent's cards in a card game?!
Bystander B: I don't know! I have no idea how I lost either! She planted a peach tree from the start, and halfway through, a monkey suddenly jumped out and said I hadn't invited it. Then it killed me with one whack of its staff!
Bystander C: Lele! Lele, Mom! Lele, Ancestor! Stop stealing my cards! I just finished crafting them and haven't even used them once. Let me play with them!
Years later, Hu Le, a god of the netherworld with countless followers, yawns on her throne. "Anyone want to play a round with me?"
