It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

Lu Ya woke up from his dazed state.

He opened his eyes, and what came into view was not the white ceiling of the hospital, nor the chaotic streets after the car accident, but a dilapidated mountain god temple.

"Where am I? Didn't I just hit the jackpot?"

Looking at everything unfamiliar before him, Lu Ya looked somewhat bewildered.

He remembers it clearly; he had just finished get off work and was about to go home to play Warhammer.

As a result, while crossing the road, an out-of-control red Dayun truck rushed out of the road and ran him over as a speed bump.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already here.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, Lu Ya decided to call 120 for emergency medical assistance first, and then call the police.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya subconsciously reached for his phone in his pocket, only to find that his original clothes were gone, replaced by an unfamiliar coat.

Seeing the scene before him, Lu Ya swallowed hard, and an idea involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Could I have... traveled through time?

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. In the last moment before he closed his eyes, that red bus ran over his face.

In this situation, it's almost impossible for him to still be alive.

Just as Lu Ya was pondering these things, a voice suddenly rang out from beside him, interrupting his thoughts.

"Brother Lu, you're finally awake! I almost thought you weren't going to wake up."

Lu Ya turned his head in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was a young man with a dusty face.

Upon seeing the young man, Lu Ya's mind was immediately filled with the young man's name and a flood of unfamiliar memories.

The young man's name was Yang Feng, and he was his college classmate and best friend.

Or, to be more precise, it should be the classmate of the "original owner" of this body.

He definitely traveled through time.

According to his memories, he had traveled to a blue planet similar to Earth.

The historical trajectory of this world is roughly the same as that of his original world.

Until a hundred years ago, a bizarre world called "The Abyss" collided and merged with this world on a level that humans could not comprehend.

Since then, countless secret realms have been created, and a large number of monsters have poured out of these realms, reaping human lives!

Human governments have also organized counterattacks against these monsters.

However, with the aid of supernatural power, human firearms had little effect on these monsters.

Humanity can only suffer defeat after defeat, and the entire world is on the verge of collapse.

Just then, someone discovered that by collecting various materials from the secret realm to create mythical cards, one could gain the ability to resist monsters.

From then on, the roles of offense and defense shifted.

A great number of human geniuses rose to prominence, creating all sorts of extraordinary cards, slaying and driving away the monsters in the secret realm, and restoring order to the world.

Those who possess the ability to create cards are called card masters.

Card masters, as a key profession in the rise of humanity, gradually perfected themselves over a long period of time, and cards gradually became a part of human civilization.

A powerful card master can protect an entire city, shielding ordinary people from monsters in the secret realm, while also allowing them to further explore the realm and acquire vast amounts of wealth and resources.

From then on, card masters became a top profession in human society.

Becoming a card master, even the lowest level one, is enough to change a person's life.

This has led countless people to rack their brains in order to become a card master.

The original owner was lucky. After three years of hard study in high school, he was admitted to the Card Master major at Lingjiang University and became a trainee Card Master.

Unfortunately, becoming a trainee card maker does not mean you can rest easy; on the contrary, it is just the beginning.

To go from a trainee card maker to a professional card maker, one needs to undergo a lot of card-making practice.

To become a true card master as soon as possible.

He and Yang Feng risked great danger to enter the secret realm together to search for the materials needed to make cards.

The secret realm they were heading to was the "Peach Blossom Village," one of the "Ten Mysterious Cities" in China.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you pay attention to the time and leave the secret realm before dark, you will not encounter any danger.

Unfortunately, their luck seemed to be not very good. Shortly after entering the secret realm, it went out of control for some unknown reason.

By the time the two realized something was wrong and tried to retreat, it was already too late.

Even worse, while the two were searching for shelter, the original owner was targeted by a wailing ghost. The original owner was attacked by the wailing ghost, suffered a severe head injury, and passed out.

Then Lu Ya possessed him.

After understanding the cause and effect of the matter and realizing his own situation, Lu Ya found it difficult to accept for a while.

He would rather have been transported to Warhammer 40 and served the Imperium of Man!

They didn't want to be killed by the evil spirits right after they transmigrated.

This is so frustrating! It's just too frustrating!

But no matter how much you complain, you can't change the facts.

The most urgent task now is to find a way to survive.

Lu Ya took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, then looked at Yang Feng and asked, "How's the situation now?"

Yang Feng sighed with a worried expression and replied, "What else can we do? The outside world is full of monsters, and we're trapped in this mountain god temple."

"This mountain god temple seems to offer some protection; those fierce monsters outside won't be able to find us for a short time, but things might change over time."

"But once we leave this mountain temple, we'll probably be attacked by those fierce monsters immediately."

"So now we're in a dead end. If we leave this mountain temple, we'll die; if we stay, we'll die too. It's just a matter of time."

Hearing Yang Feng's answer, Lu Ya's heart sank; the situation was worse than he had imagined.

However, Lu Ya was still unwilling to give up, and he continued to ask, "What about the people from the Card Master Alliance? Isn't the Card Master Alliance still there?"

"Such a major event has occurred in the Peach Blossom Village Secret Realm; the Card Master Alliance will surely notice, and they will definitely send people into the secret realm to search for and rescue them!"

Faced with Lu Ya's words, Yang Feng gave a wry smile: "Brother Lu, we'll have to wait until the Card Master Alliance comes to our rescue!"

"Now that the secret realm is out of control, the level of danger has increased dramatically, and it is simply beyond the capabilities of us apprentice card masters."

"I'm afraid that before the Card Master Alliance even arrives, those fierce monsters will have already come knocking and slaughtered us all."

After hearing these words, Lu Ya's heart sank to the bottom.

Am I really just going to wait here to die?

No, there must be other ways. He absolutely does not want to sit here and wait to die!

Lu Ya took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his unease, and racked his brains for a solution.

As Yang Feng had already said, hiding in the mountain god temple was not a foolproof plan.

While the mountain god temple offers some protection, it cannot protect them for long; the evil spirits outside will eventually find them.

Once those fierce and treacherous creatures find them, they will almost certainly die.

Therefore, there is only one path that Lu Ya can take now!

That is... card making!

The power of a card master comes from cards.

Theoretically, if they could create a powerful card, they could withstand the fierce attack.

Only in this way can they have a chance to survive!

The problem is, making cards is not as simple as just talking about it.

As a trainee card maker, Lu Ya was well aware of the difficulty of card production.

Card artists need to use their own spiritual energy as ink to draw character images on blank cards, and then fill them in with materials and add stories...

Only after going through a series of complicated processes is there a certain probability of creating a card!

The most difficult step is adding the story.

Because not just any random, made-up story can be used to create cards.

Whether it's mythology or folklore.

The story used for card making must have a logically rigorous and complete background system!

It is precisely for this reason that many card masters are willing to risk their lives to venture into various high-risk secret realms, in order to find those myths and legends that have long been forgotten by the world.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya's eyes lit up.

For people in this world, searching for stories is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task.

But for him, wasn't this something he could easily accomplish?

As a time traveler, he had read at least eight hundred or a thousand mythological stories.

Isn't it a simple matter to just take any mythological story and use it to make cards?

But as Lu Ya delved deeper into the myths and legends of this world, he quickly realized that his idea was not feasible.

Because the historical trajectories of the two worlds are similar, the Chinese myths and folk legends that Lu Ya remembered already existed in this world.

Furthermore, these legends and stories have long been used by people around the world to make cards.

This made Lu Ya's heart skip a beat.

Is my dream of becoming a plagiarist in this world about to be shattered?

No, there must be other ways!

After racking his brains, Lu Ya quickly noticed an inconspicuous detail.

Although the ancient historical trajectories of the two worlds were similar, after the "Abyss" collided and merged with this world, the historical trajectories of the two worlds developed in completely different directions.

This means that while the ancient myths of the two worlds are very similar, the modern legends are completely different!

This provides Lu Ya with a huge amount of room to maneuver.

Although humans have become less enthusiastic about fantasy since the Industrial Revolution, there are still many stories for Lu Ya to choose from.

Lu Ya frowned, rapidly listing the modern stories he had read in his mind.

"The Cthulhu Mythos... No, it already exists!"

"Andean mythology... no, we have that too!"

"Aliens... that's possible, but their combat strength is too weak..."

Finally, after racking his brains and thinking hard for more than ten minutes, a loyal name appeared in Lu Ya's mind!

How about giving it a try... Warhammer 40k?!
