The fate of the Lizard Monster was sealed the moment it was made into a Fantasy Card.
Lizard Monster: …Don't come any closer!!!
As the gaze of a certain terrifying bipedal ape shifted, the Lizard Monster's soul within the card desperately wanted to scream "Yamete!" again. Unfortunately, being in a two-dimensional space, it couldn't.
The next moment, the Stand ability activated. Cracks appeared on the card's surface, forming a shattered spider web, which then collapsed. A cluster of blue light particles, like dust and debris, burst forth from the fragments. Most of them vanished into the air, while a few, like iron filings drawn by a magnet, entered Kaito Joestar's broad chest.
Strength +1, +1, +1…
According to the feedback from the Stand ability in his mind, the enhancement materials extracted this time did not include the Lizard Monster's special abilities, but rather conventional basic attributes.
The entire enhancement process was quite brief, but the loss was significant. If the Lizard Monster's power were an iceberg, then only about 10% of it, the part above water, might have been used for enhancement.
With such a high loss rate, Kaito once suspected that the Stand was acting as a middleman, earning a difference. However, even if it were true, he could only accept it. How could he not pamper his own Stand?
With a few heaves of his chest, his strength, which had long been at a bottleneck, received a slight boost. It didn't cause a qualitative change, but it was better than nothing. However, there was still a subtle improvement.
His pectorals, latissimus dorsi, biceps, and other muscle groups became even more robust, bringing him one step closer to a real-life Platinum Ape.
Since that's the case…
As he pondered, Kaito opened his hands and summoned a stack of blank Fantasy Cards. Adding the draw chances contributed by the Lizard Monster yesterday, it was just enough for another ten consecutive draws.
Current Destiny Draw chances: 10 times.
After a nightmare experience of drawing only Strength N Cards daily with single draws, Kaito decisively joined the ranks of ten-consecutive-draw users. Destiny Draw has no guaranteed draw, but metaphysics is a matter of personal belief.
Then, draw cards!
Strength (N): Attribute Card, 1 unit of Strength attribute, determines melee attack, muscle strength, and carrying capacity, used to enhance the user.

Kennen (SR): Character Card, Kennen, one of the members of the Kinkou Order in the League of Legends World, proficient in Lightning Release ninjutsu.
"Tch, another boring day… Hmm?"
Seeing a bunch of familiar blue skies and white clouds, Kaito was about to let out a curse. Upon closer inspection, besides the regular attribute cards, there were indeed some good pulls.
With a wave of his hand, seven attribute cards successively merged into his chest, and the surging pleasure brought by the attribute increase continuously flowed within his body. Especially the Strength R Card among them, it truly brought ten times the joy compared to ordinary N Card attributes.
At the same time, the remaining three cards fell into Kaito's hand.

Here comes the main point, the Character Card, "Kennen"!

[Effect 5: Ultimate: Slicing Maelstrom]
[Summons a lightning storm around himself that continuously attacks enemies, applying 1 stack of Mark of the Storm with each attack and increasing his own defensive resistance.]
Receiving the card information, Kaito's eyes grew brighter. After more than a month, he finally drew another SR.
The materialization ability in Fantasy Cards is slightly different from that in games; there are no rigid numerical settings, but the skill mechanisms are largely consistent. Although there are equipment quantity limits for character cards, that's not the main point! The main point is that my normal attacks finally have special effects… scratch that! It's that I can finally control lightning!
Brushing aside a One-Punch man with twenty years of power, putting the life-saving Senzu Beans into his card deck, Kaito quickly devoured the ingredients in the pot in a few bites, tidied up simply, and reappeared at the main entrance dressed in a tracksuit. His actions were fluid and seamless, highlighting his impatience.
Leaving the apartment, Kaito jogged slowly away from the city center. He passed through the outer residential area that hadn't completely turned into a no-man's-land and arrived at the mountainous area in the suburbs. Due to the limited population in this world, there are almost no signs of human activity outside the cities.
