Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 12 What do you mean I’m already dead?
You Ming suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He had always been complaining about his "treatment as a time traveler," how he encountered some dark game before he even had a small card game to warm up.

He had originally prepared himself to take someone's life, but now he turned around and found that the guy was not dead at all.

What should I say?

I was prepared, but this is the result?

"Honestly, you might as well just die."

"Ha, I thought so too. It's a pity that I can't die."

Keith grinned as he struggled to get up from the floor.

"But apparently, seeking death in this world is a very difficult thing."

"Difficult? It's nothing more than still holding on to the thought of living."

Listening to Keith's rogue speech, You Ming couldn't help but curl his lips.

"It's not that difficult to die if you really want to."

"That's hard to say."

Although You Ming was still somewhat wary, this guy simply took out the package he was carrying and rummaged through it.

That relaxed attitude, which was almost like giving up, did not seem like facing an enemy that he had been fighting before.

"But it doesn't matter. Let's take it one day at a time."

Finally, he took out a small bottle. The transparent glass bottle was filled with smoke, making it difficult to see what was inside.

It wasn't until Keith started drinking voraciously that You Ming confirmed that it was liquid.

but……

"What are you drinking?"

When he started asking questions, You Ming could even see that Keith's injuries were recovering rapidly.

"This? It's a good thing here. Just one sip can replenish your 'soul power'. It's essential for survival."

"So why does this thing exist?"

At this moment, You Ming even felt as if he had traveled not to Yu-Gi-Oh, but to a series of games where Stiff Knees and Paralysis vs. Fast and Slow Knife Mad Dog were involved.

But... forget it, it's the world of Yu-Gi-Oh after all, anything that happens is normal.

"I suggest you throw away common sense like I did."

"Ok?"

"After all, this is not the world we are familiar with."

You Ming, who originally thought he could accept those monsters, suddenly froze in place.

"In this kind of hellish place, even if you're seriously injured, you won't necessarily die, and even death doesn't mean you can rest in peace."

He couldn't help but widen his eyes as he listened to Keith's slow sigh.

The feeling of astonishment suddenly spread from the heart to the outside, turning into an uncontrollable sound:
"What did you say?!"

And that astonishment led to doubt.

"Why are you so surprised?"

The pair of eyes under Keith's sunglasses swept over, and the look in his eyes was a bit like the teacher he saw in the office when he was in school.

"Don't you know anything?"

It's broken, I really don't know.

"That's impossible. Don't you have any memory at all?"

When Keith asked this casually, You Ming inexplicably felt a little guilty.

Buddy, I just came here and I don’t know whose body this is. Could you please introduce me to the local customs and culture here?

Of course, this kind of inner feeling couldn't be spoken to anyone, so You Ming could only shrug and give the universal formulaic answer:

"I really don't have any impression."

Facing Keith's increasingly weird gaze, You Ming sighed.

"I don't even know what happened, I just woke up and found myself here."

"Wow, you're really pitiful. You don't even know the cause of your own death, and yet you're in this kind of hellish place."

Not sure if he believed these extremely vague words or not, Keith just raised his eyebrows.

cause of death?

"What was the cause of death?"

You Ming was stunned.

He subconsciously wanted to ask, but a manic sound came from the distance.

Footsteps, panting, dripping water.

When I came to my senses, a huge figure appeared at the corner.

He was wearing a green rag cloak and holding a huge machete, but his face could only be described as hideous and ferocious.

“Gu… Ooooohhh!!”

In the light of the candle, You Ming could even see the saliva at the corner of the humanoid monster's mouth.

"that is……"

"Oh no! That guy actually came back!"

Keith was quick-witted and slapped a card directly onto the duel disk.

The next moment, the shadow of a mechanical spider appeared behind him.

TM-1 Bazooka Spider

"Stop it!"

The Iron Spider, carrying a rocket launcher, instantly launched a large number of missiles.

Along with the sound of collapse, the gate that had been broken through was quickly covered by rubble.

But before they could relax, a terrifying and crazy roar came from the other side of the rubble pile.

"Oooo--"

"So what is that thing?"

"Isn't it obvious? It's a ghoul."

Keith spoke up.

"It's just like what was described in those ghost stories I heard when I was a child. It has no rationality and feeds on flesh and blood."

"Then why are you in a place like this?"

"Because this guy was originally guarding here..."

'boom'

'Dong' 'Dong'

Suddenly, a violent collision interrupted the already brief conversation.

"Ow—"

'bass'

The rubble that seemed to completely block the gate was suddenly pierced by an ancient blade.

Following the crack that seemed to be directly penetrated, a fierce, glowing eye and half of an almost rotten face were reflected in, just like in the famous movie "The Shining".

Looking at that fierce and cruel face, You Ming felt his heart twitch, as if someone was holding it tightly, and his breathing began to become heavier for no reason.

This guy……

"Tsk, this guy is still so difficult."

Without waiting for You Ming to think deeply, Keith turned his head directly.

"Hey, kid, this is not the place to talk. We have to leave here."

However, You Ming did not take immediate action.

"Let me confirm one thing first."

"explain."

"You know that explosion, that duel, can't kill me, right?"

"Nonsense, this is common sense in this world."

Keith rolled his eyes.

"As long as the 'soul power' remains, I can survive no matter what."

"So you were just a hot-tempered hooligan looking for an excuse to start a fight on the street, and I beat you up in return... Is that my understanding of the previous conflict okay?"

Putting away the inexplicable waves in his heart, You Ming nodded.

"Hey……"

Without waiting for Keith to retort, he pointed to the floor.

"There's a secret door here, but I don't know what's underneath."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what it is, this crappy place is all the same anyway."

Keith cursed as he opened the secret door and jumped down without any hesitation, delay or trial.

then……

"Ouch, why is it so high here?"

The voice seems a little distant, with a strong mother's voice.

"But there's actually a secret passage here that leads directly out of this ruined ruin?"

Silently estimating the possible height, You Ming just walked silently to the side of the secret door.

To be honest, he felt numb.

What is this and what?

I inexplicably traveled to this place, inexplicably played a dark game, and now inexplicably teamed up with my previous opponent to escape.

What's worse is that he seemed to have no choice from beginning to end.

“…Let’s just muddle along.”

Looking around the room he passed through, You Ming couldn't help but focus his eyes on the fierce scratches on the wall.

Although I didn't see it before, I can now vaguely make out a distorted handwriting on it.

'All is well'

I don't know who left this place, but...

"I accept your good words."

"Hey, kid, what are you standing there for? Come down now!"

'Boom'

The pile of rubble was finally blasted open, and the ferocious ghoul walked into the room.

After exchanging glances with the brutal man, he jumped into the secret door that was only wide enough for one person to enter and exit.

It was very high, higher than he expected.

But soon, he no longer paid attention to the so-called height.

'thump'

After landing, he was greeted by a scene he had never imagined:
Dark clouds and miasma covered the sky, and the earth was littered with bloody debris.

Wandering in a murky shadow visible to the naked eye are demons and wandering souls that constantly challenge human aesthetics.

Gazing at the apocalyptic scenery, You Ming fixed his gaze on the only human being present who gave him a certain instinctive sense of closeness.

Keith Howard.

The man just stood under the miasma cloud and laughed.

"You're surprised, right? You've never seen anything like this before! This is a view only dead people like us can see!"

“…Where exactly is this place?”

"Where else could this be?"

Hearing this, Ji couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Welcome to hell, kid."

As he spoke softly, his expression gradually became more and more crazy, as if he was mocking something.

Perhaps he was mocking You Ming, the 'newcomer', or perhaps he was mocking himself.

"Welcome to the world of the undead... a place only those unlucky enough to be swallowed by darkness can enter!"

[A new career script has been detected, please write your story]

"huh?"

A game-like prompt suddenly rang in his ears, and You Ming couldn't help but look around.

In the scenery shrouded by miasma and dark clouds, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind him.

He subconsciously looked back and saw the corpse of a giant dragon crawling quietly, with its huge dragon head hanging in front of him.

[Discovered Location - True Red Ruins]

Then, a large logo appeared before his eyes:
Duel in Another Dimension: Legend of the Crimson Immortal

Amidst the howling of ghosts and wolves that sounded like background music, You Ming could only feel a certain emotion brewing in his heart.

Finally, it turned into an irrepressible sincere emotion:
"Grass!"
