"Yes we found them outside of the village gates." I heard a voice although it sounded distant and I close my eyes since I felt a headache creeping up on me. "They have weird marks on them, they look like some form of lettering on it and the other is two squiggly lines." She said and I froze. What's going on, what the hell? This doesn't seem right, I feel weird. I feel tiny and I don't like it. Before I can even do anything I fall back asleep.
The next time I wake up and could see a white ceiling that reminds me of a hospital room's ceiling. Not to mention the smell, hell I was most likely in a hospital. I had a migraine coming on again and I swallowed down some bile that tries to come up. Now how the hell did I get here? The last thing I remember was those two glowing bottles and the pain in my hand. That's when I looked down at my hand and saw a symbol. It looked like a Virgo symbol and I was confused. I mean it was my star sign and all but I didn't have it tattooed on my skin.
"Oh you're awake." The sudden noise made my cringe and cling onto my head. I heard footsteps scampering over to me and I knew I surprised her. "Lay down, please." She said and I quickly followed her suggestion. "Where am I?" My voice sounded rather weird. As in it was scratchy like I hadn't talked in awhile but something else was wrong. It sounded like a kid's voice.
"You and your friend were found near the gates of Konoha and we took you to the hospital once we saw how battered you were. We say probably chakra exhaustion." The nurse explained. "Konoha?" I asked weakly and she nodded. "Yes, you do know where that is, right? In the fire country?" She asked and I decided to play it off and nodded. "Um ya." I said and I felt a bit nauseated.
"You look a bit green." The nurse said and I nodded. She brought a trashcan up and I quickly got rid of anything that was in my stomach and once I was done I ended up dry heaving. "Sorry." I said once I knew I was done. "Oh it's alright. I expected as much. You and your friend have been asleep for almost two weeks." The nurse said and my eyes widened. I was out that long.
"Anyway the doctor should be here any minute to do a check on your health and once that's done we can figure out who you are, okay?" She asked and I nodded. "Oh yes I forgot, you were found with these bank cards." She said while handing me a small deck of maybe only eight cards. I looked them over and they all had the Virgo symbol on the backs of them. "Thank you." I said and she left the room.
I flipped over the first card and to my surprise there was writing, despite the nurse saying they were blank.

I look at the cards confused and looked at the manual card. Much help this is, I don't know how to use a card to get the manual that's supposed to show me how to use the cards. Who the hell even made this shit? I looked at the manual card and physically face palmed. At the bottom read: (Hold manual card in front of you and call out it's name to activate).
I held out the manual card with a frown. "Manual Card." I said and suddenly there was a swirling light and in my hand was a small booklet and I opened it up to read what was inside.
Introduction:
You're probably confused aren't you? Well I'm here to sort things out and explain to you how various things work. You have been selected to participate in a new program called the 'Call Card Program' or CCP for short. We are testing the ability of our cards by sending normal people into worlds that they normally wouldn't be able to survive in with only basic essentials and the cards to see how well they can adapt.
We understand you most likely want to go back home but once you've entered the program generator your soul becomes one with the new universe, making going back home fatal, we're sorry for this inconvenience. In this world you may recognize various things since we placed you in a familiar place to help you.
We hope you enjoy your stay in this world and please read the manual whenever you see fit since there will be trials to see if you can effectively use the cards properly. Make sure the check the table of contents.
You're truly, Card Call Corporation.

Needless to say after reading the introduction I was in shock. I couldn't go back home so I was stuck here and now I have these call cards. I opened the book, wondering how to get rid of the manual so nobody would be able to find it.
Using Your Call Cards:
As you may or may not have know, summoning your call cards is fairly easy. Here are the basic commands:
"Deck Summon" – To summon your deck.
"Deck Dismissal" – Hiding your cards
These are just the simple commands and you're free to make your own as time goes on. You can also separately call certain cards from the deck if you hold your hand out like you're holding the card and calling out its name.
In order to deselect an active card simple say "*Card Name* Dismissed" and the card will go back to the deck. It's advised that you don't let other's know of your cards. It's also best to know what type of card you are using as you have a moral in your Card Log and depending on how high or low it is depends on how you can use cards. Check out the sections "Your Log Card" as well as "Benevolent and Tyrant Cards" for more information on this matter.
We shall also inform you that it is impossible to use another person's call card since the symbol on wherever the jar of power touched is the symbol that connects your power to the card. Cards can also level up depending on your Moral level so be careful of it and make sure to check your log often.
I heard footsteps and panicked a bit so I held the manual out in front of me. "Manual Card: Dismissed." I whispered and it disappeared and I felt it go into the deck. I held the deck near me and looked over just in time to see the doctor walking through the door.
"Hello, how are you feeling?" The doctor asked with a gentle smile placed on his lips. "A bit dizzy." I replied with a frown. Well after a normal doctor check up something not so normal happened. "Now we're just going to connect you to this monitor to see how your chakra is." He said while hooking me up to a machine that reminds me of a blood pressure machine.
After it beeped a bit he frowned. "It seems your chakra reserves are smaller than the normal civilian, much like your sister." He said and I looked at him. "I don't have a sister." I replied calmly and he looked confused. "Are you sure? You were found with a blonde haired girl about your age at the village gates and you both have low chakra." He explained.
"We are step-sisters." I said back and he nodded. "Okay now may I ask for a name and age?" He asked and I nodded. "Iris Edwards, age sixteen." I said and he stopped. "You look seven." He said and I looked at my hands and noticed they were small. Note to self; look at the category "Your Body" in the manual. "It was a joke, I'm seven and so is my sister." I said back and he nodded as he wrote that down.
"That's all I need. You will be staying here for a little while longer and then we will have some people come in and ask you some more questions, to make sure you are just a normal kid and find out more about you, then afterwards we will bring you to the Hokage and we'll sort things out, okay?" He asked and I nodded. "Understood." I said in an almost whisper and I watched as he left. This just got a hell of a lot more complicated.
So this story was inspired by this story called Death and Sake by Wyrvel so check it out and yes I had permission to use the ghost card and such, I always ask before doing something stupid. Well that's about all I have to say, I don't know what day I'll be updating but hopefully often since I'm also working on a Supernatural fanfiction so I'm swamped along with a Harry Potter Fic so I'll be pretty busy for awhile. I will not give up on this story though, I promise!
