Drawing Cards

Xu Hao only meant to open an old book. One broken seal later, the middle-aged scholar wakes in an unfamiliar forest—with no way home and a body that has somehow become fifteen years old. This is a world where cultivators hold power, dangerous beasts roam the wilderness, and strength often matters more than justice. Xu Hao has neither a powerful family nor the ability to fight his way to the top. What he does have is an extraordinary gift: Drawing Cards. Armed with blank cards and a mysterious brush, he can create things this world has never seen, from magical companions to remarkable tools. But his power comes with mysteries of its own, and every experiment teaches him something new. Xu Hao would rather learn, heal, and build a peaceful life than solve every problem with violence. Unfortunately, unusual abilities attract attention—from people who need his help and others who want his power. In a world where the strong make the rules, can a man armed with knowledge, creativity, and a handful of cards find his own path? — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Drawing Cards — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
