Cards from Ashes follows Styx as she finds her place in the world, with her core card and a chance to help found a new village she will face the challenges of community, leveling, monsters, and politics. She will be joined by friends, embrace change and losses, and find her personal path to power, as she ascends. A story focusing on organic feeling growth of a settlement, a girl, and her path in this world. This is my first ever story, so mistakes are to be expected but all feedback is very welcome and appreciated. This is a Card based Litrpg, so expect cards, blue boxes, system notifications, and other common themes but with (hopefully) a novel twist on enough of it to be enjoyable and unique. Updates are as they are written currently, though there is a goal to have that pace picking up life keeps throwing things up, so it will vary week to week.
