Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, have survived longer and leveled up higher than anyone ever thought they could in the galaxy’s most popular reality show. Now the stakes are the highest they’ve ever been, the rules are getting dangerously creative. The crawlers are given a new task: Find and capture six monsters, each of which will be turned into a card.
The stronger, the deadlier, the better. It’s crucial for crawlers to assemble the toughest squad possible. But, like always, there is a catch.
There’s always a catch. If Carl and Donut want a winning hand, they’ll have to capture the most lethal and terrifying monster of them all: Shi Maria. She was once married to a now-missing god.
Her special attack is known to drive one insane. They call her the Bedlam Bride. Carl and Donut can try to capture her, but that doesn’t mean they can tame her.
And if they can’t, there’ll be worse things at stake than just their sanity.
