Royal Flush
Description
Throughout the seventeen years of her life, Kim Ara had never received a card.
Her cousins and relatives that were about her age already had at least eight cards, and all of them had at least one A rank card in their deck. She was always envious of them, never really getting to hang out with them because they kind of 'shunned' her for having no cards at her age despite them being related. Whenever they came over, they would engage themselves in their so-called 'friendly battles' at the backyard of her house, but really those were just excuses for them to show off and prove that that they were better than each other.
Ara was in a family of decently-known Dealers, but people never really realised she existed, mainly because her Aunt and Uncle never mentioned about her to anyone. She knew it was because of her 'empty hands', and in her society where cards determined a person's status, she would be her family's source of shame.
She was determined to obtain a card. Not just because it was a bare essential in the power-driven society she lived in, but also to prove to her relatives that she was not useless and a burden.
And her chance finally came on her 18th birthday.

Hello! Thank you for showing interest in this story ^^ its been a long while since I actually read fanfics yet alone write one, but the plot bunny came one day and this just sat in my drafts since 2018. I actually have a vision for how my story will end, and how it will pan out unlike my previous stories, so I hope I actually have the motivation to complete this one. Anyway I just hope my writing skills are good enough to portray my imagination and I hope they make sense HAHA
I actually chose this whole card au thing because there are quite a few such fanfics here, though not much. The concept has always been quite interesting, especially regarding exo's powers. As for the ranks of the cards, I actually got inspiration from the Superstar mobile game series XD
My OC may be a little unlikeable at first (not spoiling anything!!) but I have planned out some character development for her, although I just hope I am able to write it out properly. I've tagged romance for this story, but I'm not sure how it'll go because I don't think I'm good at that stuff(?) I just put it there in case anything comes to mind, but I'll try my best. Its also going to be OT12 because I'm having some major 2013 throwbacks hehe
All the characters written here are not mine, except for OCs. The pictures used are also not mine, and credit goes to their original owners. I only own the OCs and the plot, so please be nice and no plagiarism!
Now enjoy my (probably not as well-writen) story! ^^
