Deckmaster: Apocalypse Business (Card-System Apocalypse)

What you're in for: a slow-burn story with deckbuilding, capitalism, corporate alien shenanigans, and confusion. Not everything will be explained right away. MC is human-to-superhuman and rags to riches, but not overnight. The scale starts small but grows epic. Cradle meets Dungeon Crawler Carl. Noah was just a normal shopkeeper when the world was remade, transforming his cozy town of Byron Bay into the newest, adrenaline-fueled playground for power-hungry prospectors hailing from across the Corporate Civilizations. Thrust headfirst into a brutal, high-stakes world where murder is a spectator sport, Noah must scramble to decipher the bewildering rules of his transformed world. He’ll face gruesome monsters, corporate lawyers, ruthless moguls, cursed towers, and living dungeons. And, worst of all, taxes. To survive, he'll need to hone his strengths, outsmart his competition, and accumulate power and wealth unimaginable in his previous, tranquil existence. Wealth is coming along nicely, but it’s hard to grow your powers when you end up stuck with all of them.
