Chapter 1: Global Magic Cards: Awakening the Destiny Magic Card!

"Students, the moment is almost here for you to awaken your first Destiny Magic Card and officially become Magic Card Masters!"

Destiny Magic Card? What is that?

Su Chen felt his head spinning, unaware of what was happening.

Teacher Liang on the podium continued explaining: "For your first Destiny Card, it is best to choose a mainstream lineage that countless predecessors have personally practiced over the past millennium."

"For instance, the Card Battle Pet lineage, the elemental spirit paths of various attributes which have the highest number of awakenings, or low-tier fierce beasts like Armored Dragons and Wind Shadow Leopards."

"Alternatively, there is the Destiny Treasure Artifact lineage, followed by fewer people, which involves nurturing one or several pieces of equipment to directly amplify one's own cultivation."

"Although these lineages do not stand out in combat power within the same tier, if one follows the Magic Card manuals circulating in the market step by step, there is still hope of breaking into the ranks of high-tier Magic Card Masters."

Looking at the classroom that felt both familiar and strange, Su Chen found it somewhat incredible.

He was still Su Chen, yet he was no longer the original, utterly ordinary top student Su Chen.

He had accepted the memories flooding his mind.

It turned out that he was no longer in his original world.

In this world, Source Energy had revived, fierce beasts ran rampant, and the strong among the Magic Card Masters had carved out territories to build cities and resist the beasts!

As for Magic Cards, they were a power that could only be used by humans!

In this world, Magic Cards had become closely integrated with human civilization.

Starting from school, institutions began teaching a series of knowledge including Magic Card creation, awakening, advancement, and Source Energy formations.

Su Chen was merely an ordinary student in the senior graduating class of Yanhuo City's No. 3 Middle School.

Humans who reached the appropriate age could go to the Awakening Grounds to awaken their Destiny Magic Cards.

While awakening the Destiny Magic Card, one must input as much detailed information about the card as possible, or rather, its settings and background world.

The more detailed the information and content, the higher the likelihood of success.

Consequently, the created Destiny Magic Card would be more vivid and spirited.

After organizing the knowledge regarding Destiny Cards and Magic Card Masters from his memories, Su Chen's heart was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy!

Because his mind was packed with a vast amount of information about fictional worlds obtained from another world!

Then, could he utilize these fictional works to awaken fantasy characters from his previous life one by one?

While Su Chen was lost in thought, the teacher on the stage continued to lecture:

"Original Destiny Magic Cards carry an extremely high failure rate with every promotion."

"All mature Magic Card lineages existing today were gradually perfected through the exploration of several generations!"

"Beyond the walls, fierce beasts eye us hungrily, their hearts set on destroying our human race; we do not have the time to waste several more generations researching new paths, so we must devote all our strength to the development of new forces!"

"Even if your family background is poor, you must choose those mature mainstream lineages; never gamble on original Magic Cards just to save money, do you understand?"

"Understood!" the students replied in unison.

Receiving such a loud response from the students, Teacher Liang was very satisfied and continued, "Once you awaken your Destiny Magic Card, you will all officially become Bronze One-Star Magic Card Masters."

"In the future, you will all become a vital force for humanity in the fight against fierce beasts!"

"Therefore, Teacher Liang hopes that when making your choices, you will be cautious, cautious, and ever more cautious!"

Teacher Liang took a sip of water, his tone becoming gentler.

"Mainstream Destiny Magic Cards, although possessing lower potential, have been deduced and calculated by countless generations of human experts; thus, these Destiny Cards are capable of stable advancement."

"As for original Magic Cards, since their advancement paths are unknown, the difficulty of advancing is extremely high; even if you create a powerful original Magic Card, you are very likely to remain stuck at a certain low tier for your entire life, unable to advance."

Listening to Teacher Liang's earnest persuasion, Su Chen harbored different thoughts in his heart.

If original Magic Cards in this world are created without being perfected, isn't failure inevitable?

But he was different; he relied on the film and fantasy settings of another world, and it would be such a pity not to utilize such resources!

However, since he was about to undergo his Destiny Card awakening, he indeed needed to plan carefully.

"The first Destiny Magic Card determines the potential and development for a long time to come, so what should I choose?" Su Chen rested his chin on his hand, feeling somewhat troubled.

Since the first Bronze-tier Destiny Magic Card could only bear a limited amount of power, he needed to choose a character who was not too strong in the early stages but possessed great potential.

"It would be best to choose a character who can become stronger in stages!"

"Stronger in stages, stronger in stages..."

Su Chen pondered, with countless figures and objects from various works flashing through his mind.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"That's it, Digimon!"

The Digimon in the Digimon World all possess several growth stages, and the difference in strength between these stages can be enormous!

Su Chen recalled Tailmon from the Digimon series.

As a Perfect-level Digimon, Tailmon possessed combat power exceeding that of other Perfect-level Digimon, and also had evolved forms—Angewomon and Ophanimon.

With top-tier combat power and appearance, she was absolutely the best choice for his first Destiny Magic Card!

"It's decided; for my first Destiny Magic Card, I will choose Tailmon!"

Do not be misled by Tailmon's cute appearance in the original work, which makes her seem harmless to humans and animals alike.

In terms of her actual combat power, she was capable of crushing a whole host of Perfect-level Digimon!

Her potential was immeasurable!

On the podium, the teacher was still explaining all the precautions regarding the awakening of Card Masters.

"As we have discussed before, the quality of Magic Cards is divided into White (Common), Green (Superior), Blue (Rare), Purple (Epic), and Orange (Legendary)."

"Actually, above Orange (Legendary), it is said there exist even higher qualities of Magic Cards, but these are still too far away for you."

Although Su Chen had already made his decision in his heart, he was still listening attentively.

Teacher Liang spoke with earnest emphasis:

"Students, you are currently in the Bronze stage, so naturally, you can only awaken Bronze-stage Destiny Cards."

"Most of us in this class will likely use mainstream magic card atlases, and the innate magic cards we awaken will mostly be of common white quality."

"Although such magic cards have a low starting point, their advantage lies in their ability to advance steadily."

"I hope that you will all successfully awaken your innate magic cards and become magic card masters!"

Teacher Liang paused, his tone suddenly taking on a note of solemn tragedy:

"Two hundred years ago, a beast tide erupted; humanity suffered heavy casualties and faced the constant threat of extinction."

"Our ancestors forged the path of the magic card master, granting humanity the power to resist ferocious beasts, stabilizing the situation, and giving our race a hope for survival!"

"Alas, good times lasted barely a century; the ferocious beasts, undeterred in their desire to destroy our race, launched another massive offensive, beginning a war of invasion and annihilation against humanity! Over half of our people became food for the beasts!"

"Fortunately, powerful humans accepted this critical mission, built cities to defend against the enemy, and once again preserved the spark of hope for humanity!"

"In these past two hundred years, humanity has repeatedly faced disasters that threatened to wipe us out!"

"Even now, countless human magic card masters are shedding blood and sacrificing their lives on the frontlines!"

"Students, you must always remember: the comfortable life you enjoy today was bought with the lives of countless magic card masters!"

The entire student body fell silent; even Su Chen wore a solemn expression.

These human ancestors gave everything for the survival of our race; they are worthy of respect and brook no desecration.

"I have covered all the key points; I sincerely hope that every one of you awakens an innate card suited to you!"

Teacher Liang glanced down at his watch.

"Now, it is time to awaken your first innate card and officially advance to become Bronze-rank Card Masters!"

"Let's go!"
