Deckard’s goal? Collect every card he can get his hands on—and throw them, too.

For over fifteen years, Nova Cardia was more than just a game. It was Deckard’s identity. He mastered every combo, earned every legendary drop, and built a collection other players could only dream of. But when the servers go dark for good, so does the world he built his life around.

With no other options, Deckard logs into AstroTerra—a flashy VRMMORPG where card battles are just a mini-game. He expects a simple card battler. What he finds instead is an immersive world full of secrets, mutant beasts, greedy guilds, and a hidden class that feels like it was made for him.

Now, the Card Slinger class is starting to look like the game’s best-kept secret—and Deckard might just have found a new frontier to conquer.

Card Slinger is a deckbuilding VRMMO LitRPG adventure featuring:

  • Tactical card combat with evolving deck strategies and real gameplay depth



    VRMMORPG progression: quests, mutant beasts, gear upgrades, and stat growth



    Card capture and deckbuilding systems with meaningful battles and combo potential



    A clever, strategic MC who wins with planning, not brute force



    A vibrant sci-fi fantasy world with tropical zones, underwater ruins, and hidden threats



    Hidden class mechanics and layered worldbuilding full of secrets



    No harem. No chosen-one tropes. No murderhobo nonsense—just a smart, grounded climb from the bottom



    A clever underdog. A forgotten class. A sci-fi fantasy card battler where brains beat brawn.

    Perfect for fans of deckbuilding, creature capture, and slow-burn LitRPG progression.
