Description: [edit] [history]

Progression, magical cards, weak to strong, card reforging! The young, sickly Irwin has seen nothing but bad luck in his short life. When his brother finally returns with a magical card for him, his luck is about to change. But will it change for the better? Irwin is sent off together with another group of youths to placate a group of sorcerers. With just a weird utility card granted by his brother, he can only pray to stay alive long enough.

[Has been updated with the rewrite of the first 27 chapters]

This is a Card gathering story! Crafting is initially not the main focus, but as the story progresses, it becomes more and more important to the MC.

Release schedule: [Fri/Sun] Roughly 22:00

I am still a non-native English speaker (hard to change), so even with the edits and rewrites, you might find some oddities. Let me know, and I'll fix them right up.
