Card collector from different worlds

... Not again.

I'm standing in the dark.

Where am I? Don't panic or anything like that.

I'm used to it.

This is God's interior space of cards, and I'm only here in spirit with my dream skills.

"Oh, my God, you seem so used to it already."

Well, I'm not surprised or impressed that you're even Chan.

"Right. Oh, it's been a day!

Oh...... so I don't think there's anything to talk about this time?

"Right. But I have it."

Well, I wonder if anything's happened yet.

"No, that was before. He says my world's economy has stagnated. That's a lot of fun, you can't fix it yourself."

Speaking of which, you said you couldn't simply raise the purchase price.

"That's right. Right now, you can't operate without knowing what the world's population is or how much Voral you consume in a day."

Are you talking about Voral...... oh, it's fuel for self-propelled wheels. You did do something like buy a Voral in Al.

"Voral is fuel, but that one is running at the expense of Al. If the consumption goes up, that's the only way to reduce Al in the city."

Right, isn't Al going to keep increasing forever?

"That sort of thing. For example, the population has tripled compared to when I was there. And then, simply, everyone's got a third of Al."

Oh, you're right. If I had to live with that, I'd have to get a third of the price.

But Al would get more if he hunted Cardy, wouldn't he?

"Yes, so if the amount of Al out in the city has tripled in the meantime, the Al we all have won't change. But then again, prices aren't going up at all."

Right, three hundred years? If the price wasn't up at all while the god of cards was gone, then so be it.

"That sort of thing. So there has to be more Al on the market than is commensurate with the population growth on the big premise. But here's the problem with Al's consumption by Voral. This is because the more the population, the richer people's lives, the more they consume."

Right. Consumption would jump if people who only rode on their self-propelled wheels a few times a year thought about the whole world just because they started riding once a month.

Even the population will. If there were three times as many people, which Voral would be consumed extra just for that?

"So you don't think it's possible to just raise the purchase price without knowing the details like that."

So you're not gonna do anything?

"Yeah, that's where I thought about it. I was wondering if there was a good way to increase Al and turn the economy around with a small change. Speaking of which, I recall that some of them were in the process of being introduced, and some of them were cancelled."

............... In the process of being introduced is a combo card, right? What do you mean, you revoked it?

"Did you know I used to make people's wishes come true?

Yeah, I know him. I read it in a fairy tale.

"A fairy tale?... Well, no. So I put out cardies, I made the currency Al and unify it, but later I made [skills] trying to quantify potential and stuff like that, right? You do, don't you, Skill?"

Oh, that's very helpful.

"So, that made it easier to understand and demonstrate the abilities of geniuses and such people. But not everyone in the public has that kind of thing."

Right.

"So I heard from Shirai later, and I made [a stunt]. That's a gift from me for my efforts, so to speak. And if you keep trying, that's all you get.... I wonder if [Power Soul] will follow."

Is that what stunts were about? And skills.

"I gave everyone [skills] first and [stunts] second. And now there's a voice that wants a lot of favors besides a cardi hunter, and I made a new [Word] and [Tool]. [Spirit (Word)] is a card that works just by reading it out, and [Instrument (Tool)] is a card that replaces the machine itself. One is similar to [tools (items)], so don't get me wrong."

Yeah, that's convenient.

But neither [* * *] nor [* * *] are there now.

...... hmm? I can't pronounce it.

"Yes, I turned it off. Including its existence. I don't think you can pronounce it on me right now. Probably disappearing from history, too. Or has it been replaced? Whatever it is, it's two things I made so that everyone's life would be richer, but they combined these, and I was stolen God's card."

I see, is that where it goes?

... and that you told me this story.

"Yes, resurrect. Though, of course, not as it is. Then just revive the system you already installed and use very little power. However, the dangerous ones remain to be sealed. And I decided to change my name."

Resurrection.... so what's your name?

"[Mirage]. Once used, it disappears, but only in the meantime, it gives me hope and a dream, which is why I named it Mirage Card."

Mirage card? That's a good name.

"Really? Some of these Mirage cards don't let people or natural objects act like they did before. Attack cards are for cards only. And I'm going to make it more viable, more convenient... and I'm just going to pick those cards to bring them back to life. I was wondering if this would find us all having fun hunting cardies again."

Yeah, well, that mirage card would make a difference if you could hunt someone in character. More Al too.

New entries will also increase, and most importantly, if injuries and deaths are to be reduced, they are well worth it.

"Right. And I'm officially introducing a combo card. Spread it out to all cards and dramatically increase the incidence."

This is going to thrive auctions and trades.

"Besides, this has advantages besides a cardi hunter."

...... hmm? What's this all about?

"I was going to introduce this as well, but the system I hadn't done yet. I'm going to introduce a card that I can redeem for all the combo cards in the Temple of Cards."

That's about it, I guess it's an awesome card.

But I don't understand the advantages besides hunters.

"Isn't it? It is the [Kami] card that is introduced. If you have this, you won't be attacked by the same kind of cardy."

... Will they stop attacking you? For example, if I traded a Ghost Sasori combo for a [God's World] card, would I stop being attacked by Ghost Sasori as long as I had it?

"That sort of thing. So you have to keep it in the Temple of Cards when you don't need it, but it's convenient because ordinary people don't get attacked just by keeping it inside [tools]."

Certainly convenient. If you know the distribution of cardies that appear on it, it seems like a lot of work can go on.

"That's why I'm ready. By the time you woke up, the world was already changing. Of course, I'm in this world, so all I could do was make a really small alteration to the card, but I hope this clears up the problem you said. You'll hear the story again in [Dreams]."

Oh... I'm excited to hear about it, too.

There's going to be heat in the card collection.

And don't forget the price when you want information from me.

Copy that.

Even so, it would be about checking the safety of my family.

"Yeah, well, this is a small thank you."

...... hmm?

"When you wake up, take a look at your self-card"

Self card?

What do you mean...?

I tried to ask back and noticed that my surroundings were darkened.

Oh, don't wake up on this.

While I was thinking that, I let go of consciousness.
