The white-haired school beauty sighs every day, yet he keeps getting stronger.

Xia Kingdom, Tianxing City, Jialong District.

A three-story detached villa, with the bedroom on the second floor.

Warm yellow sunlight streamed through the blinds, falling on the boy lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Beneath his raven-black, damp hair were strikingly handsome features and a tall, slender figure.

His complexion was just a little too pale.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Zhang Ziyang lay on the bed, feeling a sharp pain in his brain, and couldn't help but rub it.

He meditated too much last night, and his body couldn't handle the strain.

This resulted in a headache as a side effect.

Two and a half years ago, I remember having the same headache when I first transmigrated to this world.

Yes, Zhang Ziyang is not from this world, but a transmigrator from Earth.

He had just graduated from university, but it was so hard to find a job that he became unemployed right after graduation.

While submitting my resume and looking for a job on the "Uncertain Future" app, I was crossing the street with my head down when I saw a message that had been read and was getting excited. I accidentally struck gold.

He was immediately freed from his job-hunting worries and transmigrated into the body of a boy with the same name, living a different life.

Zhang Ziyang still clearly remembers the scene when he first transmigrated.

My head was throbbing with pain, and all I could hear were terrifying roars and shrill screams.

Opening my eyes, all I could see were ruins and rubble.

Numerous buildings were destroyed and houses were damaged.

They burned in the flames, and the sky was shrouded in billowing black smoke.

Countless bizarre and ferocious monsters appeared in droves, flooding the streets like a raging river.

There was no warning.

These monsters, which should have existed only in works of entertainment and fantasy, suddenly entered Zhang Ziyang's field of vision.

They twitched their noses excitedly, their gleaming white fangs bared, and thick, foul-smelling saliva dripped from between their teeth as they frantically searched for any living creature in their field of vision to devour.

Faced with this dangerous and crazy world, Zhang Ziyang, who was covering his head, was dumbfounded.

You're sending it as soon as you get it?

Wouldn't the King of Hell have to copy his own name twice later?

I'm so sorry!

The scene before him was so stimulating that Zhang Ziyang's stomach churned immediately, but he did not vomit.

Driven by a strong will to survive, he covered his mouth with both hands and slowly crawled into the relatively stable piece of building debris next to him to hide.

Screams echoed through the streets.

The wind blows.

Thick smoke, the smell of blood, and the stench of wild animals kept filling my nostrils.

A scene of doom.

Through the original owner's memories, Zhang Ziyang understood some things.

There exists a supernatural spatial calamity in this world that overlaps with real-world areas; this is called the Boundary.

These numerous monsters and demons originated from it.

In addition, the boundary seems to have its own field interference buff, which will cause all precision equipment such as electronic instruments to malfunction and become ineffective, thus rendering many high-powered thermal weapons useless.

Only card masters can deal with these monsters!

A card master is a professional who fights by wielding cards with powerful effects.

Moving mountains and overturning seas, shifting stars and changing constellations...

These techniques are a piece of cake for top card players.

Zhang Ziyang survived only because a very powerful card master happened to arrive at the right time.

With a single move, the land was frozen solid for thousands of miles, and the surging, terrifying beast tide was annihilated in the blink of an eye.

That way, he wouldn't have to run back underground to get the Meng Po soup he hadn't had a chance to drink right after he came here.

Looking at the pristine white world of ice and snow before him, Zhang Ziyang was deeply moved.

He made a vow in his heart that he must become a Card Master and a powerful person who could control his own destiny!

On that same day, his parents, who were frontline soldiers, sacrificed their lives, leaving him all alone.

In addition, many of his relatives were killed in the disaster, leaving him with no one to take him in.

Left with no other choice, Zhang Ziyang spent some time in the welfare home.

Fortunately, his father's comrade-in-arms, Uncle Huangfuji, soon came to his door and took him home to live.

Uncle Huangfu's family treated him very well, and there was no storyline like Harry Potter and Lu Mingfei where he was disliked.

The only problem is...

"Boom!"

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

Zhang Ziyang's heart skipped a beat. He sighed helplessly, endured his headache, turned over, and got out of bed to open the door.

The slanting warm sunlight shone through the gradually widening crack in the door, illuminating the slender and graceful figure of the girl outside.

She was a girl who was slightly shorter than Zhang Ziyang.

She had short, white hair that reached her ears, and clear, ethereal silver eyes.

Beneath her delicate, indifferent brows and eyes, her cherry lips were pink and tender, and her fair skin was as smooth as porcelain.

The girl wore a dark green school uniform, with long, straight legs under a black pleated skirt, and she wore thin black stockings that just reached her knees. She stood gracefully.

At first glance, it has a mysterious quality, and its beauty seems otherworldly.

Like a beautiful porcelain doll in a picture book.

Or perhaps the witches depicted in ghost stories.

This wasn't the first time Zhang Ziyang had seen this face, but he was still amazed by it.

The girl in front of me is named Huangfu Yue.

She is the beloved only daughter of Uncle Huangfu and Aunt Zhao.

Not only is she beautiful and academically gifted, but she also has a strong talent for spiritual cultivation; she is truly a model of "someone else's child."

Huangfu Yue looked at the boy who was a head taller than her and spoke expressionlessly:

"Come down for dinner."

"it is good."

Seeing that Zhang Ziyang agreed, the porcelain doll girl immediately turned around and went downstairs.

He exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.

His relationship with his roommate is so-so, which is probably the only problem he's facing in his life right now.

Two and a half years have passed.

Aside from essential daily interactions like "Come down for dinner" and "Excuse me, could you please move aside?", the two rarely chatted.

They were practically strangers living under the same roof.

Zhang Ziyang could guess some of the reasons for this.

In his previous life, he was not an only child; he had a younger brother who was much older than him.

He was still young then and felt neglected by his parents after his younger brother was born.

It feels like my love has been taken away, and I still have to give in to my younger brother in everything, which makes me feel very wronged.

Besides her naturally cold personality, Huangfu Yue's aloofness is likely also due to this reason.

Zhang Ziyang wanted to have a proper talk, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity and eventually had to give up.

Oh well, he's planning to move out after graduating high school anyway.

By then, both of them should be able to relax and be at ease.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyang turned and went back to his room.

More than that, he was concerned about the Soul Card Awakening Ceremony that the school was going to hold today!

In this world, everyone can become a card master by obtaining a soul card through an awakening ceremony once they turn 18.

The so-called Soul Card is the most fundamental and precious card for a Card Master, and it will accompany them throughout their life.

All others are collectively referred to as foreign cards.

You can have many wild cards, but usually each person only has one soul card.

Once damaged, at best, one will lose their abilities and their cultivation level will drop.

In severe cases, they may become disabled or even lose their lives.

The quality of Soul Cards greatly influences a Card Master's future achievements!

Soul Card quality is classified according to the color it emits.

From lowest to highest: black, white, green, blue, purple, yellow, orange, red, and gold.

Of all Soul Cards, the gold quality is the supreme!

As long as one awakens the golden soul card and doesn't perish halfway through, they will surely become a chosen one who will astound the world.

Before awakening, the higher one's spiritual power, the more likely one is to awaken a high-quality soul card.

This is also why Zhang Ziyang rushed into meditation.

Today is the day for Soul Card Awakening!

Zhang Ziyang was really looking forward to it.

He was quite confident in his luck.

In gacha games, you can often get two gold cards in a 10-pull, and occasionally three gold cards in a 10-pull.

As long as the awakened soul card isn't too bad, he will steadfastly continue down the path of a card master!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziyang suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Is it because I'm too lucky that I've exhausted my lifespan?

……

The restaurant on the first floor.

A mature and beautiful woman with her hair braided into a single ponytail is busy in the kitchen.

Seeing her daughter come downstairs and sit down, Zhao Rouyun took a moment to turn her head and ask:

"Yueyue, did you call Ziyang down?"

"Ah."

Huangfu Yue responded, her expression remaining unchanged.

until……

"Ding!"
