1. An information processing device provided with: a non-transitory memory device configured to store player information, in which game content owned by a player is configured in association with the player; and, a processor, configured to: initiate fusion processing for virtual cards, wherein the fusion processing comprises fusing two virtual cards associated with identical characters, each virtual card selected from a set consisting of virtual cards indicated in the game content as owned by the player; determine whether or not a preset condition associated with fusing a first game content and a second game content used as source material for fusion has been satisfied, the first game content being a first virtual card from the game content owned by the player, the second game content being a second virtual card from the game content owned by the player, the second virtual card being a source material card for a character fusion operation, the first virtual card associated with upper limits of parameters; before the preset condition is satisfied, utilize fusion processing to fuse the second game content with the first game content to thereby vary upper limits of parameters configured in said first game content in a stepwise manner; subsequent to the fusion processing, update the player information such that said first game content having the varied parameters configured therein is placed in the player's possession while said second game content is not placed in the player's possession; and wherein once the preset condition is satisfied, initialize the varied parameters configured in said first game content and, at the same time, provide items capable of increasing at least the initialized varied parameters configured in said first game content.
