Card World: Gods and Demons

In this world, everyone opens their Card Sea at eighteen, cultivating through cards and walking the path of the extraordinary. The textbook *Records of Origins* has distorted the truth for a thousand years; everyone believes that strange beasts have long gone extinct, and that the prosperous age is forever peaceful. Only deep in the night do fierce beasts prowl, and darkness revives. Qin Huai, who transmigrated ten years ago, only wanted to muddle through with ordinary aptitude, study and take exams, and live out his life in peace. Until the night before his eighteenth birthday, a terrifying encounter in an alley lets him glimpse the bloody truth of the cultivator world. The Card Sea is a gift, but also a shackle; power is glory, but also destiny. Some hold cards to guard thousands of lights, spending the rest of their lives in exchange for peace in the mortal world. And his cold, taciturn older brother Qin Zheng, chill throughout, neither joyful nor sorrowful. No one knows that this seemingly ordinary youth carries a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation and wields a destiny of destruction. The chessboard of all living beings trembles, ancient seals loosen, and the Shadow Organization stirs in secret. When an ordinary youth is forced into the game, when the god of destruction is willing to protect the light. One person ascends to the peak with fortune, one person walks alone bearing the darkness of ten thousand generations. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Card World: Gods and Demons — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
