Demon Card Enforcer

A Deck-Building LitRPG (The Cerberus Cards, Book 1)

By: John Stovall

Narrated by: Justin Thomas James, Jeff Hays, Tiana Camacho

It’s Drop Night, the one night every decade when the gods hand out cards to a lucky few. If you get a deck, you’re a deckbearer capable of wondrous feats within the Great Game system. You can control powerful monsters and summon mantles that let you fight alongside your beasts.

Ethan Wolfe, top enforcer for the Grimm family mob, has already been overlooked on two previous Drop Nights. People of his ilk seldom receive cards, as the gods tend to favor people who follow their divine mandates, but that doesn’t mean Wolfe can’t hope.

Unfortunately, when Wolfe does get his deck, he doesn’t have time to celebrate. The rival street gang has six deckbearers and they’re cutting in on the Grimm family’s trade. Someone has to do the dirty work, and it isn’t going to be the spoiled children of Big Man Grimm.

And things might get worse for Wolfe when everyone figures out he received an ultra-rare card in his deck…

With hundreds of thousands of views on Royal Road, this definitive version is perfect for fans of Goblin Summoner, Card Mage, and All the Skills.

an excellent play on cards

I'm not much for deck builders in general, but this one was recommended and was surprisingly good. The characters are well thought out and grow with the story. Soundbooth Theater once more does an amazing job with the voice acting, love those guys.

The card system I have been hoping for

Written well, narrated well, cool magic system, modern day setting that feels pretty fluid.

I would recommend this to people who like Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Crime family meets TCGs

Yep, that's what it is and I'm here for it. I love stories about crime families with an honor code, and those who strive to keep others in line with it. The mechanics of the card game actually feel fairly true to life, where the newest sets of cards are the strongest, and certain combinations are just broken. I love the way the characters are written, with dimensions that you learn as they get to know each other better. The build up of various parties plotting for power is beautifully done, and just when you think something is finally going to work out, something else happens,

I was skeptical

How good can card table top story be as a book? Well as John Stovall showed me - marvelous. The stats are not all over the place. It’s enticing story and the pacing and development are great.

the bad guy was obvious from practically the beginning

it was really stupid how nobody realized he was the bad guy. the main female character was really annoying for me I just couldn't stand her sorry. and it's great that he's in guns but sometimes he should have like a nightstick or something with them or a knife it would have been helpful in a lot of
