Entry metadata
Arthur's card — the magic everyone builds their lives around — is a trash-tier hand-me-down until fate deals him a Master of Skills. In a frontier world of dragon riders and card duels, he has to hide what he holds while learning, quite literally, everything.
Progression: deck-building meets skill grinding; every mundane job is another skill card charged.
Reader fit: you want collection mechanics, dragon bonds, and a scrappy kid protagonist playing a long game.
Texture: adventurous, bright, steadily escalating.
