Chapter 1 Into the VRAINS! Wait, where am I?

In 202X, for unknown reasons, the world's technology suddenly experienced an explosive development. Many things that were originally considered cutting-edge technologies were announced to have been successfully researched overnight and could soon be applied to reality.

However, what is puzzling is that some very advanced technologies, after being developed, were not used to benefit humanity, but instead were used in games.

Major global game companies have announced that they will hold press conferences soon to release the latest game trailers (pie in the sky), while some impressive game companies have even shown actual results in their trailers, causing a sensation among gamers worldwide.

Game developers are all ramping up their efforts, and even Konami, which has always been a lazy dog ​​that rests on its laurels, is following suit.

It's quite embarrassing to have the IP of the globally renowned card game "Yu-Gi-Oh!" yet not even have an official online game with Master Rules.

However, this time Konami has been surprisingly generous, announcing the release of an official game called "MasterDuel" with the support of cutting-edge technology. It supports Master Rules and, in addition to the normal multiplayer mode, includes many interesting single-player content, such as the Duel Chronicle. Most importantly, in addition to supporting existing platforms, the game also supports new features that many card game enthusiasts have dreamed of for years: real-world duels and virtual world duels.

That's right, the cutting-edge technology is so advanced that it can create virtual worlds that aren't even that complicated; heaven knows how that happened.

"Boss, our game will be launched tomorrow. Is there anything else you need?"

"Um...nothing. By the way, where is the database?"

"This way, please."

……

As a card player, Leyou's luck can be described as very good.

How good is it?

Back when that guy was still dominating the gaming world, he had just received his allowance from his parents and, on a whim, bought three game packs.

Then, he opened three identical cards.

Thump! Thump! Boom!

[Fusion Arrives]

The highest rarity red-shattered SER super magic dragon knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, that is, that man.

The man who is commonly known as "Red Daddy" on his own side and "Red Maggot" on the opposing side.

Although this card was a limited card at the time, and only one copy could be included in the deck, it didn't stop him from showing off with three copies.

However, Leyou's luck can also be described as very bad.

A few days later, when he took his newly assembled (red fragments) Red Daddy Special (show off) deck to the card shop to play cards, he was told that a new list of banned cards had been released.

【Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight】has been changed from a limited card to a banned card.

a bolt from the blue.

This series of coincidental ups and downs made him question the meaning of life. In addition, he was temporarily AFK for a period of time due to some events. When he returned, the times had quietly changed.

The new emperor ascends the throne.

The new generation of the Phoenix Destroyer, a "join if you can't beat" all-purpose creature, along with his best friend, the Merged Fate, and the Azure Lock Dragon Anaconda, which countless people wish to die but never actually dies, once again wreak havoc on the environment.

And this time, Leyou's luck worked out again, and he got a white-rare Phoenix of Destruction.

This time he wasn't as excited as before, because as a Dragon Glory player, his deck didn't synergize very well with the Phoenix Destroyer, so he just casually built a Phoenix Swordsman deck and played a few games before ignoring it.

Later, when information about the new cards came out, his favorite Albus Hellsland series was strengthened, and as a fusion series, Albus had a high synergy with the Phoenix Destroyer. Just as Leyou was preparing to study the new deck, the ban list was released once again.

This time, the Phoenix Destroyer did not go in.

However, his good partner, who had merged with destiny, was transformed from an unrestricted card into a forbidden card. This was a ruthless move.

This single move clearly shows how much Konami doesn't want the Phoenix of Destruction, as a hero of destiny, to not follow its original trajectory and appear in hero decks to help them defeat evil. Instead, it wants the Phoenix to appear like a public bus in most of the evil decks in the environment, becoming an accomplice or even a principal offender in many evil deeds.

So here's the question: why didn't Konami ban the Destroyer Phoenix, but instead banned Fusion Fate, an important support card in the Hero Deck?

Is that even a question? Of course, we need to make a living!

"F**K! KONAMI!"

Holding the white-shattered Phoenix of Destruction in his hand, the card no longer looked as dazzling as before. Even a hero of destiny could only pale in comparison when faced with the oppression of a ruthless merchant.

"Fine, for the sake of MasterDuel's launch, Konami's horse will allow the use of Monster Resurrection once."

Instead of lamenting the passing of spring and the coming of autumn, why not play a few more rounds of cards?

After putting on the newly arrived Yu-Gi-Oh! virtual login device according to the instructions, Leyou struck a cool pose.

"IntotheVRAINS!"

A pure white expanse flashed before my eyes, and moments later, countless streams of data cascaded down like a waterfall.

After a short while, these data streams gradually dissipated, and the login screen appeared before our eyes.

Before she could even enter her username and password, Leyou's gaze was drawn to the login button, which looked somewhat like a crystal, and she clicked it instinctively.

Immediately afterwards, my vision was enveloped in a jade-green light, and I could no longer see anything.

……

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a handsome young man sat dejectedly on a park bench, holding a card box in each hand, containing Yu-Gi-Oh! cards carefully protected in card sleeves.

"All I did was curse a few times, so why are you dumping me here?"

The game's realism was completely different from what was advertised, and the game system didn't respond no matter how I called out to it. Combined with what I saw and heard, I could basically confirm that I had traveled through time.

Leyou had been sitting here for a while, and during that time he had gathered information about his location from the conversations of the people passing by.

This is Domino City, a place that is well-known among card players. Just two nights ago, a certain dragon-loving club president announced the opening of Duel City in a very high-profile manner.

Over the course of two days, many duelists have acquired their own duel disks through various means. Some duelists with a strong card addiction have already begun engaging in tense and exciting duels in private, in accordance with the previously announced rules.

As someone who takes things as they come, Leyou doesn't have much of a problem with the fact that she has transmigrated. What can she do now that she's already transmigrated?

In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, there are mysterious powers. Perhaps we can find a way home someday, so until then, let's settle down first.

Furthermore, as a card addict, he even wanted to play a couple of rounds when his card addiction kicked in—using the two decks of cards he had brought with him, though he didn't know why.

One deck is a fun deck I created earlier, and the other is a happy deck that symbolizes my original intention of enjoying duels.

If you were to use these two decks against the ruthless OCG players on MasterDuel, they would definitely get crushed by decks like Golden Kingdom, Overpowered Zai, and Windwalker Bird. However, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! DM era, they would still be playable.

"Curry, Curry!"

"What's wrong, Su Sheng Chestnut Ball? Hmm? You mean my necklace?"

A tiny, fluffy white phantom floated on Leyou's shoulder, its little paws pointing at the crystal pendant on Leyou's chest.

This little guy is the evidence that Leyou is certain of the existence of mysterious forces in this world; it's the spirit that revived Kuriboh in his quirky deck.

Just as Leyou was about to heed Su Sheng's advice and see what was so special about the pendant he had carried since childhood, a not-so-tall fellow suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You just said 'Kuriboh,' right?"

Chapter Two: The Gambling Addiction Treatment Center is Now Open!

Ever since his defeat in Duel Kingdom, Insect Moth has harbored a grudge against Yugi Muto and his group. The reason for his grudge is simple: they defeated him and made him, the former Japanese champion, lose face.

Upon learning that Seto Kaiba was going to hold the Duel City Tournament, he rushed over early and made what he considered to be thorough preparations.

He is a duelist who is never ashamed to use any underhanded tactics, and the most direct way to deal with an opponent is to understand his deck.

As the champion of Duel Kingdom, Yugi Muto's deck composition wasn't a big secret. After some effort, Insect Moth successfully obtained the relevant information and memorized the details of many key cards.

Just as he was about to gather intelligence on other potential rivals, he caught a key word.

"You just said 'Kuriboh,' right?"

Kuriboh was a card in Yugi Muto's deck, and he remembered it clearly.

"You are... um?"

When Leyou looked up, he felt that the short man in front of him looked somewhat familiar. After he stood up, he finally remembered who this guy, who was a head or two shorter than him, was.

"You're the 'former' Japanese champion, the Insect Moth, right?"

I understand the logic, but why does that guy who looks no more than 1.4 meters tall in the animation look 1.6 meters tall now?

"Oh? So you know my name. Hey, I was just asking you a question. You just said 'Kurikko,' right?"

This green-haired guy was quite arrogant, but when he heard Leyou mention his championship title, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Leyou probably recalled what the insect moth had done, and a smile also appeared in his eyes.

Looks like today's entertainment is about to begin.

Slightly suppressing his thoughts, Leyou put on a harmless expression and said in a slightly excited tone, "Yes, that's right, I did mention Kuriboh just now. I heard that it's the ace in my favorite idol Yugi Muto's deck!"

"Kuriboh is an ace? What a joke! That guy's ace is Exodia, no, it's Dark Magician!" Insect Moth instinctively retorted, but then realized that his behavior sounded a bit like showing weakness, so he immediately added, "But no matter what his ace is, he will be defeated by my invincible Super Insect deck!"

Leyou really wanted to continue luring the insect moth with that innocent yet slightly ignorant tone, but this was reality, and she couldn't use a cute avatar to pretend to be a child. Besides, in front of her, this insect moth was the real child, an expired one.

"A Super Insect deck? Never heard of it, but I don't think it can beat Kuriboh, right?"

Leyou took out the only Kuriboh card from his deck and waved it in front of the Insect Moth, then said with a smile, "Look, I even built a deck specifically around Kuriboh. It's pretty powerful. Do you want to duel me?"

As expected, the insect moth couldn't even withstand such a mild taunt and immediately removed its deck and placed it in the Duel Disk.

"Hmph, how could a lowly monster like Kuriboh possibly be a match for my Super Insect deck!"

The duel disk unfolded, and Insect Moth pushed up his round-framed glasses, ready to launch the first attack, only to find that his opponent hadn't made a single move.

"You don't actually have a Duel Disk, do you?" Insect Moth said with a smug smile. "As expected, anyone who wants to challenge my Mega Insect deck with a weak card like Kuriboh is just a second-rate duelist who doesn't even have a Duel Disk."

"However, considering your commendable courage, I can reluctantly borrow an old-fashioned dueling ring to duel you, as the Duel Champion."

Although Duel Disks have started to be distributed, they are only given to duelists of LV5 or higher. Therefore, the old-fashioned dueling rings have not been phased out and are still preserved in some venues.

"No, actually, I have the Duel Disk, just now."

Leyou's face showed a hint of surprise, but she quickly regained her composure and replaced it with a faint smile.
