《Blank Card - Destroyer X Destroyer (Volume 1)》The Power System
Advertisement
Many questions are still unclear to me.
But the biggest one of them is...
HOW DO I USE MY POWERS?
Everyone was gathered in the hall. We all were sitting on the sofa and Varsha was standing in front of us with a happy and cheerful face.
“Alright, everyone! I’m happy to announce that since we are a 6 person team, we are now officially eligible to take on Quests and Missions!”
A big and bold line saying ‘QUESTS AND MISSIONS UNLOCKED’ appeared on her head and I heard many kids yelling ‘YA~Y!’ in background.
“Are we in a game or something?” I said to myself while looking around surprised.
The others started cheering happily.
“Er, what is going on?” I asked Elena, who was sitting on my left.
“When the king of any group gathers 6 members or more, they are allowed to take Missions and Quests which are allotted by the higher authority and leaders of the 3 Factions. Successful completion of the Missions will reward you with Money, artefacts or any other thing.” Elena explained to me.
“Yes. Moreover, we have received our first quest already.” Varsha further continued.
“Already? That's good news. What quest is it?” Raghav asked with excitement.
“Its a quest to defeat some Roaming Elusive Duckies.(RED)”
“Duckies?” I asked with an idiotic face. “I have better things to do than battle some random duckies!”
“They are not some random duckies. You'll understand when you see them.” Alisa told me while laughing.
We then reached at the site of the mission. It was a place which had many giant trees with thick trunks. There were also many huge stones around that place. The shadows made by those trees was very dense.
“Holy Fuc... What's with this place?” I was speechless and was looking around restlessly.
“This is the habitat of Imperial Birds.” Varsha told.
“Imperial birds?”
“Yes. A magical race of birds. They can change their sizes and like to live in dark and cold environments, away from humans.” Raghav explained.
“Why? Do they hate humans?” I asked.
“Not exactly. But they like to stay away as much as possible. They are peace loving creatures and keep their distance with humans.” Raghav further answered.
“Leo, I’d like you to only observe our fighting styles today. Pay close attention to how we utilize our magic. That'll help you to draw out your own power.” Varsha suggested me.
“Oh, alright. But where’s that cute duckie which you have to battle?” I asked.
“Look closely.” Raghav said while pointing somewhere deep in the shadows of the trees.
There was one large nest in the shadows and a strange creature was sitting in it. That creature was wildly eating something which looked like a giant bird’s body. There were many eggs in the nest and some of them were broken. There were battle scars on the trees around them.
“Impudent creature! How can it kill an innocent animal?” Alisa disgusted with an angry face.
“It noticed our presence.” Elena said with an alert tone.
The creature moved towards us and then it came to light. My head got blown by the sight of that creature. It had black body and its feathers were torn and crushed. It's beak was soaked in blue blood.
“Holy Crap! There's no way that's a duck!” I exclaimed with a shocked face. “It looks more like a vulture.”
The bird spreads its wings and took off in the sky. It then opened it's mouth and a yellowish-red light started glowing in it.

“It’s attacking! Everyone, take cover!”
Varsha waves her hand at us while yelling. Everyone scattered and hid behind the stones. She pulled me behind a big stone as the beast breathed out fire. The fire was blocked by the stones but it went all around and the whole ground got dyed in black.
“Hey, you okay?” She asks me.
She was lying on me and my face was buried in her boobs.
“Yup! I’m more than okay!” I said while giving her a thumbs up.
“Good to hear that you're enjoying, but now’s not the time for it!” She sat up on my waist and tried to peek at the beast's movements.
Damn. I wanted to stay like that a little longer. Wait, its not the right time, she said? That means there IS a right time! If only I can grasp that time perfectly then I can squeeze those juicy jugs! Man, I never realized time was so fucking important! My whole life was a damn lie! Shit!
“Everyone, let's start the battle!”
“Just command it, Varsha!” All the others replied confidentially.
“Um? I'm already in a battle to not get hard down there since you are sitting on it. So can you please keep me out of this one?” I said to Varsha while raising my hand. She's still sitting a little down my waist.
“Raghav, pass a sword to Leo so he can defend himself.” She ordered while standing up. “Leo, watch closely as we get the job done. Everyone, get your weapons ready.”
Alisa bought her left hand forward and closed her eyes. A red coloured magic circle formed under her. Then a red coloured rod formed horizontally in front of her and she grabbed it via her left hand and opened her eyes. She rotated the rod a few times and then held it vertically. The rod took the shape of a bow and she pulled it's string via her right hand. A blue coloured arrow formed automatically.
“Badass!” My eyes were shining as I looked at her.
As for Raghav, he held his hands in a cross and 2 small magical circles appeared on his left and right. 2 sword hilts came out of them. He held their grips, took them out in an awesome way and then held them vertically in front of himself. The tips of those swords were releasing fire sparks and he looked really cool.
“Damn, that's cool!” I sounded jealous.
Then I looked at Elena. She closed her eyes and then puts her right hand on her chest. Her chest started glowing and a magical circle appeared on her head. The circle engulfed her and her clothes changed into a battle outfit which looked like a witch's outfit. But this is one heck of a sexy witch! Her boobs can bounce around in that thing easily. Now that's a perfect outfit for battle and for other things too. Hehehe.
“NoW THat's A SiGht To WaTCh CLOS-LEY” I said in a rhyming tone.
Then my eyes fall on old man Ken. His body was glowing a little. A transparent Aura surrounded him.
“That's not much of a change.” I said while looking at him.
“Leo, listen closely. In our world, each team is based on a deck of cards. That card gives you extra strength and attributes and also defines your rank in the team. I am the ‘KING’ and all of you in my team have one card in them. You are familiar with all the 13 cards, right?”

“Yeah. I have a little idea about them.”
“Good. Next, there are 8 classes in which a human’s strength is classified. They are Conjuror, Enhancer, Tank, Swordsman, Summoner, Archer, Healer and Shielder.”
“It's coming at us again.” Alisa warned with a quick voice.
“I'll start the fun.” Ken said and then ran towards the bird. He then jumped really high and landed on a rock and then jumped again. His fist started glowing and he landed a punch on the bird’s face. The bird let out a loud cry and fell on the ground.
“Damn!” I was astonished. “What the heck IS he?”
“Ken is a 'TANK' and have card number '4’. That's the rank.”
“So that's how it works, Huh? Then Raghav and Alisa are ...” I looked at them with a serious look.
“Yes. A ‘SWORDSMAN’ of rank '10’ ...” Varsha told while looking at Raghav.
“That's me, alright.” Raghav said with a smile and then slashed off the bird’s legs. The bird started screeching.
“... And an ‘ARCHER’ of rank '6’.” She continued while looking at Alisa.
Alisa was sitting on a tall tree. She shot 4 arrows and they got carved in ground around the bird, forming a square. The next second, they formed a prison and the bird got trapped.
“Awesome view!” I said with a smug and nosebleed. I can totally see under her skirt. Trees are the best!
Suddenly a big explosion happened behind me. I turned and saw that the bird’s prison had an explosion by Elena’s magic.
“She's an 'ENHANCER’ and her rank is 'QUEEN’.”
“Will you introduce yourself or do I need to do that, Varsha?” Elena, who was standing beside me, askes that while adjusting her witch’s hat. She then gave me a sweet smile. Varsha smiled.
“I, am your ’KING’ and my class is 'CONJUROR’.”
“Conjuror? A magician?” I asked.
“Yes. She's good with her magic.” Elena commented.
“A~lright, so what am I?” I asked excitedly.
“My 'ACE'.” She smiled.
“Ace? You mean number '1’?” I stared at her and she blinked at me while nodding.
“You gotta be kidding me! That's the weakest number, for god's sake!” I yelled, fully disappointed.
“No. In fact, it’s the strongest.”
“What? How?” I got curious and asked.
“You are a Blank Card and you can use any power that you wish. It's just like writing on a blank paper. You can draw anything you want and can erase it and redraw a new thing. Your potential is limitless. You can use everything. All the attributes are under your command. Now you understand, why a Blank Card is so important? Why YOU, are important!” Varsha explained.
“Badass!” I was totally speechless and happy.
I'm a total bigshot and I can use all kinds of powers! I'm a one man army! My dream is no longer a dream, Damn it! THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!
“Try it. If you succeed, I’ll give you a reward that you'll like.” She added.
Reward? That I'll like? There's only one thing that I like! Will she really give that to me? I'm so glad I'm alive to hear this!
Suddenly the bird shot another round of flames towards me and Varsha. Raghav blocked the flamethrower and it got collected on the tip of the blade. He then slashed it towards the bird. The whole flame was compressed into a slash and hits the bird. It let out another cry and crashed into a tree trunk.
“Hey! Hey! I wanna try that kickass move too! I can do it, right?” My eyes shined like stars as I said that.
He smiled and passed me his sword.
“Now you're talking like my buddy! Let your magic flow into the sword and it'll counter the opponent's magic.” Raghav explained.
I breathed out confidentially like a bull.
“Here I come, you imposter Vulture!” I raised my sword towards it and it shot a flame ball towards me. I blocked it successfully.
“Good job, Leo!” Elena cheered me.
Then I slowly turned towards them with teary eyes. The blade was totally melted and only the hilt was remaining in my hands.
“Emmmmmmm” I was crying (Fakely).
I sat behind the big stone quickly and squeezed into myself as much as I could.
“I won't fight it anymore. I give up.” I said in a scared high pitched voice.
“Oh, come on. It was just one try! We're here to save the Imperial birds, Remember?” Raghav encouraged.
“I don't fight for some random birds. I only fight for huge fuckin’ Melons! No way am I fighting it anymore.” My voice was totally like a small kid.
Elena and Varsha giggled.
“KIEK! KIEK! KIEK!”
A high pitched voice fell in our ears. It was a small bird of blue colour.
“An Imperial bird’s child? How cute!” Ken said.
Dude, you sound like a super cute and hot chick. But you are not! So stop ruining everything! Otherwise, I'll get nightmares!
The baby was looking like a real duck sized duck. It was totally a real duck, just of Icy blue colour. That thing emerged from behind a tree. It looked injured and was running away scared.
“Damn! The Elusive bird is targeting the baby!” Alisa yelled from above.
Oh, shit! I totally forgot to peek under her skirt second time! Trees are awesome!
The bird was about to launch its fire cannon. I quickly threw the sword and ran towards the little bird.
“LEO!” Varsha called me with a tensed voice.
“I'll be alright!” I yelled and then dived towards the little bird. I held it in my arms and then rolled away, dodging the flame piss coming from the RED’s mouth. We safely stopped near a tree and I hid behind it quickly.
“Hey! You are a real duckie!” I said happily.
It looked at me with scared eyes and then started hitting on my head with its beak.
“Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow. We’re on the same side, Man!! Stop drilling my head!” I painfully yelled and then I caught that bird by its neck.
“If you hit me once more, I swear that I'll eat you for dinner, got it?” I threatened it with an evil face and it's face got pale and colourless.
“WATCH OUT!” Raghav yelled at me.
The bird was ready for another flame shower. It launched it’s attack.
“EEEK!”
I quickly stood up and ran away, cuddling the Imperial bird in my arms.
“How dare you try and hurt him!” Varsha sounded pissed. Her hairs started shaking and an intense blue Aura surrounded her.
“Your grisly and audacious behaviour have crossed the limits now. You'll be obliterated for this sin.”
She raised her right hand and formed a magic circle. A dark blue flame rushed towards the bird and it literally got erased right from its place. What the hell is up with her power?
“Follow her obediently otherwise you'll get wiped out. Lesson acquired.” I gulped. My face was colourless.
Then some Imperial birds came out from shadows. Their size was of a peacock. I walked forward and left the baby bird on the ground. It ran to the dead body in the nest and started crying.
“Looks like that was its Dad.” Alisa said with a sad voice.
All the other birds gathered around that body and looked sad.
“That must've been their leader. Poor guy died while protecting the eggs.” Varsha shows her sympathies. “That's just how life is. Ends one day, and no one realises.”
I walked forward to the nest. The birds made a way for me. Maybe they were afraid of me.
“Hey, little guy.” I tried to touch it, but it angrily growled at me and changed its size to that of lion.
“Be careful!” Raghav was about to dash towards me but Varsha raised her hand and stopped him.
The bird tried to threaten me.
I started petting its head while smiling gently.
“Your Dad died protecting you and your fellows. You should be proud of him. Don’t make him sad by crying. You are braver than that.”
The bird growled and then slowly calmed down.
“Let's give him a proper resting place. He's been strong for too long. It's time that he takes a break.”
I turned to the others.
“Can you help me out in digging a grave?”
They all smiled at me. Then we properly buried that bird’s body and treated the baby bird’s wound.
“It's time to go.” Varsha spoke to me.
“Yeah, sure.” I then looked at the baby bird. It was back in its original size. It flew to me and sat on my shoulder and started rubbing its beak on my cheek.
“Looks like it’s saying ‘Thank you’.” Elena said.
“Your welcome. See you later, dude. I should go now.”
I put the bird down and walked away. We all waved at them as all the Imperial birds walked inside the trees’ darkness.
“That was very sweet of you, Leo.” Elena praised me.
“You are a Pervert. But you are a good Pervert.” Alisa commented with a smile.
“As for your reward, come here.”
Varsha pulls my face in her chest.
“You deserve a hug for all this.” She says.
Maaaaaaaan! These milky balloons are even softer than her lap! I feel like I'm suffocating in pillows of happiness!
The others were looking at us with a surprised face. After a couple of seconds...
“Alright. That's enough reward for one day.” She leaves me.
“Damn. If I knew that the reward was of this calibre, I would've slayed that ugly duck myself.” I said while sitting in a corner, all depressed. Black lines surrounded me.
“Better luck next time, Pervert.” Alisa giggled.
“Alright everyone. Our task is done here. Let's head back to Central Square. We have to meet someone there.” Varsha ordered.
“Alright!” We all replied and followed her.
What's this Central Square now?
Another load of trouble?
But since our Master have ordered, and because she's hot AF,
I'LL FOLLOW HER ANYWHERE!!!

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
