Day 3 after the colosseum day .
Sam finally decided to test out his deck of cards . First thing he did was summon another deck but ' Fuck , the old one disappeared . ' But he calmed down and finally started testing .
He first took an ace .
' There is a slight connection between me and each of the cards . I seem to be weak and can't control them very well . But I can feel what they do . '
The card in his hand started burning with a bright red light and didn't seem to be hurting him .
' I can control it slightly for now ... Like ... '
He threw the card in front of him and the card burnt and turned into bright flames as it hit the ground a few meters in front of him and exploded .
' Hmmm... There is only a slight acceleration in the card right now ... I need to be stronger to be able to make this actually work . '
He looked at the black spot on the ground for a second before saying in his mind ' Scout , record all results . '
[ Confirmed ]
He threw one more card and this time it instantly turned into a fireball that hit the ground and made a small crater appear on the ground .
[ Calculating ... ]
[ The power of the attack is 13 units exactly ]
He overlapped the attack on the next attack and threw the card again . This time , he felt the connection get stronger and the card moved almost thrice as fast due to the influence of him forcing it with his mind .
The blast was also almost 2.5 times as big .
[ The power is 26 . Roughly twice of the last attack ]
Sam smiled and nodded and continued with his experiments .
The next card was a [ 2 ] and it was water element magic .
It was simply a waterfall which wet the ground , but he thought against something made of fire , it would surely be effective .
Next up was a wind ball . It was nothing much , just like a compressed tornado . Right now it wasn't effective , but he felt he could make it more powerful if he learnt to compress it further .
The earth ball was just a ball of compressed rocks . It wasn't much and he didn't understand how it can be considered having the same power as the first fireball card .
The next card was quite special . He felt he didn't have to hit something , but someone with it . So he simply hit it on himself .
[ Debuff : - 5% Stamina ]
He raised a brow at this . ' Scout , calculate how to strengthen this . '
[ Calculating ... ]
[ Debuffs depend on the Soul tier of the User . ]
Sam nodded as he understood that suck a strong debuff will not be easy to increase in strength . ' - 55% stamina at tier 10 is quite OP if you ask me . '
He sighed and held the next card and threw it . It transformed into a ball of light and hit the ground and turned into nothingness . Then he took another card and hit it against himself .
[ Debuff removed . ]
He took another card and hit it against himself again .
[ No debuffs . Light energy dispersed . ]
[ User is not a creature of darkness . Light will have no affect on him . ]
He nodded as he understood and took out the next card .
' Damn this is tiring . '
He nonchalantly threw the card and looked at it only to be surprised by the speed at which it traveled . It only left behind a blue trail as it finally hit the ground .
He took another card and hit it against himself .
[ Hit with Lightning ball from a close distance . Resistance = power . Damage nullified ]
[ Paralyzed for 5 seconds . ]
He looked at the cards numbered 7 with disbelief .
' Lightning magic . Finally something interesting . '
He then took out a card numbered 8 and threw it a bit further only to see the ground freeze over .
[ Ice magic . Power : 13 ]
He smiled as he looked at it over and over and then threw one at the ground below him .
[ Hit with freeze effect of Freeze ]
[ Resisted ]
' This is nice too . ' He thought as he took the next card .
He simply felt what it did and hit it on himself .
[ Buff : + 5% Attack damage ]
' This innate feeling of using them in the past is quite useful . ' He thought as he looked at the next card . ' The strongest attack is up next .
He took out the tenth card and looked at it .
' Scout . Tell me exactly what it does and why i feel it's the strongest . '
[ Confirmed ]
He threw the card and kept his eyes on it , but the card disappeared as soon as it left his hand . A little distance further , there appeared a perfectly spherical hole in the ground .
[ The card folds the space around itself and travels in the direction of your sight and sends anything around the area it hits into open space . ]
' What's open space ? ' He asked .
[ The space between the real and the mirror world . This is a dangerous space which is dangerous for anyone below a tier 5 soul ]
Sam was startled , before he asked ' How do you know that ? '
[ I have been given all the information in the Omniverse discovered till the day you awakened . My connection with my creator was cut completely and I can't update anything unless you discover it yourself . ]
Sam nodded as he thought he understood . ' As long as it isn't dangerous . '
' Ok , next up . ' He held a jack between two of his fingers . He threw it some distance away and saw a shadow rise from the card which simply landed on the ground . The shadow came out till the card disappeared and only a shadow which looked exactly like him remained .
' What is this ? ' Sam asked .
[ Clone ]
[ Vitality : 0.6 Energy : 1.3 ]
[ Contains 10% of User's Attributes . ]
[ Cannot use skills before it reaches 50 % Attributes as the user . ]
' That's useful . ' He thought as he looked it from up to down . ' It'll be helpful for reconnaissance if my connection with it improves . '
He next took the queen and hit it on himself .
He felt the small scar on his left shoulder slowly vanish .
[ Queen : Healing magic . ]
' That's self explanatory . '
He took the king and was about to throw it when he felt something . ' The card is empty ... Scout , explain . '
[ King : Summoning magic . Effect : Can summon any contracted monsters from inside the card . ]
[ The strength of summon is dependant on the summoner's attributes : 75% ]
' So I need to make a contract ? '
[ Affirmative . ]
Sam at least understood what a contract was due to his knowledge of games .
When he held the last card , the joker , he got an interface in front of him .
[ Every joker is bound to a single skill of it's user and every time the joker card is used , that skill will be released , at the same strength as if the user used it . ]
[ Bind skill ? ]
' No .' He thought as he looked at the card in his hands . ' I don't have enough choices yet . '
He shouted " Thanks spirit . Let's meet next Wednesday . "
" Please . It was my pleasure . " He heard a voice but disregarded it as he teleported out .
' Compile the information about the cards . All we know about them . Make it simple . '
#__________#
" Fuck him . He just used a skill of his . How the fuck can he use 11 attributes . Fuck there were even 2 cards he didn't use at all . "
Everyone around the world fell into despair once more .
