Nyk has dreamed of being a Cardslinger his entire life, of being one of the brave heroes that combat the sea beasts breaching the magical barrier. To become a defender of the island of Karmyn, the last bastion of humanity. But he resides in Talorin, a remote coastal village with few resources. Even worse, the village is the territory of Garoth, a terrifying sea beast known as the Tyrant of the South, and has grown in power with every passing year as it devours carded sailors and other magical beasts. When Syn, Nyk's closest friend, includes him in her plans to defend their village, Nyk couldn't be more excited. But with the limited resources at hand, how are they going to save enough money to afford a colored card? And more importantly, will they have time to put their plan into action before a disaster occurs? I hope you will enjoy your time with Nyk and Syn on this epic tale of bravery and sacrifice and immerse yourself in a world of fantasy and magic. Expect a slow-burning slice-of-life with very light LitRPG elements, dangerous magical beasts, corrupt ruling houses, organizations seeking to destroy the barrier and discoveries that will shake the foundations of how magic is understood.

Important: This LitRPG story differs from others in that the world doesn't work like a game. The System (a Magical Array) is there as a means to access magic, not a tool to exploit. It's integrated into a well-defined world with limits for magic and power.

Schedule: New chapters release on Mondays and Fridays!

And that's it! I sincerely hope you'll enjoy your time with Nyk and Syn!
