Hi Everyone!

Apologies if you saw this before here on r/pics, it was removed yesterday because it had the book title and my name over the image. I have uploaded the raw image now so hopefully it can stay up and people can see how great the art is!

This is my first novel ever and I am self-publishing it on Kindle (and Kindle Unlimited) so forgive me for promoting it a bit around reddit. I hope that some people might find the book interesting enough to check it out. It is free if you use Kindle Unlimited so you can try the book without having to commit to buying it if you don't want to.

If you are interested, here is the link to my book:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HWX11N9

Meddling gods. A magical card system. An apocalypse no one could have predicted.

Jake is working at the neighborhood market under his apartment when the world ends. He expected nuclear war, a computer virus, or even climate change burning everyone to a crisp to bring about the downfall of civilization. But cruel and arbitrary gods from another world? Who would have guessed that?

When these cruel gods shuffled Earth like a deck of cards, nothing was in the same place anymore. Monsters, dungeons, and magical items appear scattered across the globe. And suddenly, everyone has access to a new, strange magical card system that gives them magical powers.

Jake, wasting his day slacking off in the cooler, as he usually did, found himself alone in a completely new and very dangerous world. Can he learn to survive? Can he collect enough cards and create a good enough deck to fight back against the monsters that have overtaken his former home? And why are these strange people that look a lot like elves knocking on the door of the market he is hiding in and asking to buy some of his goods?

The gods may have stacked the deck against him, but Jake just might have a few cards up his sleeve that will help him survive.

Some of the first reviews of the book said this about it:

By far one of the best books I've ever read. I found this book in the morning of a dark and stormy day. By the time I was pulled out of my reading fugue it was after midnight. This book is spectacular and it desperately needs a sequel.

And:

I can't find a single flaw, honestly this was perfect I didn't stop reading until I finished it.

I swear I am not affiliated with the reviewers in any way - I didn't even have beta readers or anything - people have just been extremely kind and seem to be enjoying the book a lot.

No matter what, I hope you can enjoy the cover art. It turned out 10000x better than I could have ever imagined and I hope others will find it as magical as I do.

If you have any questions or thoughts I am happy to chat!
