Summary

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The book is an epic fantasy series in a single book! It begins like 'System Apocalypse' meets 'All The Skills'. And then gets sooo much better! With an epic adventure reminiscent of 'Magician' by Raymond E. Feist and Xanthia like the 'Cradle' series. I can not recommend this book more!

This book is fantastic!

I slept on Jake’s Magical Market for so long because I wrongly assumed it would be a bit a guy in a magical market doing shopkeep things. Boy was I wrong. Do not pass over this book if you like the genre, this series is one of the greats, I cannot wait for book 2

One of the best

The narrator was great, the story was great, until the mc got tortured and lost his moral compass. Like left on the metro at rush lost, this was fine could have happened to anyone, and he was recovering. Then he got kissed by a divorced deer lady, then and there is when the author lost my respect.

I was great, emphasis on the was (contains spoilers)
