Starfish and Seagulls
Deckard’s goal? Collect every card he can get his hands on—and throw them, too.For over 15 years, Deckard has played Nova Cardia. With a complete collection and a reputation built through years of dedication, Deckard's life revolves around the game—until Nova Cardia announces it's shutting down its servers for good.
Faced with the loss of everything he's worked for, Deckard is forced to join AstroTerra, a popular MMORPG where card battles are relegated to a mere mini-game. Reluctantly, he dives into this unfamiliar world. But AstroTerra holds more secrets than he expected.
As Deckard explores, he discovers that cards are more important in the game than anyone realizes. Suddenly, the game he dismissed as a poor substitute becomes an exciting adventure.
Follow Deckard as he braves Beginner Island’s mutant beasts, uncovers a hidden class, and rebuilds his legacy in this deckbuilding VR MMORPG LitRPG adventure.

Ohhhh man! Soooooooo friggintastic! I knew was gonna have so much fun as soon as I laid eyes on it! You see I adore deck-building litRPG's!!! And in this book Deckard found that there was more than just Starfish, and Seagulls to contend with... Once Ronan a NPC discovered that Deckard was there soulely for the cards, Ronan made Deckard's life easier, and surprisingly Deckard discovered that he had the ability to make Creature Cards and along with that he also got Skill Cards! How nifty is that, huh? And with all that new knowledge, he sets out to claim everything that this starter village has to offer!
So grab the book and have fun. Join Deckard as he dungen dives and fights bosses, or does he?

Awesome start to a series
Quite enjoyable. I look forward to the future of Deckard. If it’s anything like Roths story (hidden class pacifist) we’re in for a ride. Highly recommend both series.

Deckard Must Find a New Game.
Deckard has responsibilities which he meets by being a world renouned professional card player. Unfortunately, his favorite card game is closing down production and the tournaments which paid the prize money he lives on and uses to care for family and friends is drying up. So he he needs a new game to continue earning a living and a VRMMORPG Company has a card game within their VR world that will fit his needs. Better yet, the Company is willing to fund his equipment to join their Game so he can use his pull with the card deck building/playing community to hype their game.
He'll need a modicum of luck along with all his skill and experience to adapt to the VR world of Astroterra, but he's ready for the challenge!
A solid LitRPG genre story which ties into Ferreira be other Hidden Class series. This is good read; featuring a Main Character who many readers will be able to identify with.
