040 The End of the Domineering Road

The Overlord was wearing a mask on his face, so it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

In the huge palace, there was no one else except Adam who reported the information to him.

"That duelist is just a visitor from another world. He will leave here soon. Even if we don't take action, he won't be able to stay here for long." The Overlord seemed to know something about Youxing's origins, and he said to Adam comfortingly.

"I obey your command..." Yadan stood up, bowed slightly to the Overlord, and then left the hall.

Overlord: “…”

After Adam left, the Overlord walked towards the throne in the palace.

He sat down, placed his right elbow on the armrest of the throne, then clenched his fist to support his face, leaned sideways on the throne, then closed his eyes and fell into a doze.

The appearance of Youxing only caused some ripples in his long-cooled heart.

The man named Overlord, just like his name, chose the path of tyranny.

He used his great power to eliminate all those who dared to resist him one by one, and used thundering means to kill his opponents one by one. Those who initially laughed at him became stepping stones on his road to dominance.

A man who aspires to be a king has no need for friends or lovers.

Along the way, his life was an endless battle. Those once famous duelists were defeated by him one by one. In the end, no opponent was worthy of his full strength.

His wealth and status have reached the peak of the world;

His dueling skills have long been unmatched.

However, he had no trustworthy partner in his life;

There is no lover who has sworn to stay with him by his side;

Anyone who hears the Overlord's name will feel deep fear in their hearts.

There is no doubt that Overlord has conquered the world.

The remaining resistance organizations are just some scattered soldiers, struggling in vain.

As such, he should be living a happy life. After all, he has achieved the goal he set at the beginning, and his domineering road has come to an end.

But now the Overlord can only feel endless emptiness and loneliness.

As a king, he has no partner to whom he can confide his true feelings, let alone anyone to spend the rest of his life with.

He was alone from beginning to end.

Even though he has become king, even though he has conquered the world, even though he has obtained everything he has ever wanted and has achieved the greatest goal in life... in the end, there is only emptiness left in his heart.

Now, he has almost lost the meaning of living.

For Overlord, every day is so boring and dull.

……

...

When Youxing opened his eyes again, what he saw was a pure white ceiling.

He looked around and saw the familiar tables, chairs and benches in the guest room. On the table was the duel disk that Lea had given him. There was no trace of the ruins that had been there just now.

Youxing picked up his phone, checked the time, and found that it was around 11:30 in the morning, almost time for lunch.

He slept from last night till noon today... and even skipped breakfast.

Youxing looked around and found signs that someone had entered the room.

The clothes I took off after taking a bath yesterday seemed to have been taken away by the maid for cleaning.

The duel disk, card deck, and card pack were placed just as they were yesterday, and no one had touched them.

Youxing felt as if there was something extra in his pocket. He subconsciously touched his pocket and pulled out two cards. The cards turned out to be the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and [Devil Summoning] that he got after defeating Naki in his dream.

Yuxing: “?”

The card I picked up in my dream actually appeared in reality out of thin air. What was going on? Yuxing pressed his temple and began to think about this question.

"Wait...if that's the case? Then the deck should also be..." Yuxing seemed to have thought of something. He stood up from the bed, walked to the table, picked up the duel disk, and pulled out the deck from the duel disk.

"As expected..." Yusei checked the cards in the duel disk one by one and found that the deck in the duel disk was not the [Elemental Hero] deck he used in the previous duel with Liya, but the [Heavy Trap Hero] deck he used in the duel with Naki.

This deck was the competitive deck he used most frequently in his previous life. Many of the cards in it were kept at home and were not brought with him when he traveled through time.

But now, these cards appeared in front of Youxing.

"Then where are my previous cards?" Youxing opened the card pack containing spare cards and found the deck of cards he had used before, with not a single card missing.

"What's happening here?"

"Could it be that? That duel wasn't a dream, but something that actually happened?"

At this moment, Youxing had countless questions in his mind. He wanted to find answers, but no one could answer these questions.

Just then, there was a knock on the door by the maid, reminding him that it was lunch time.

"Master Youxing, if you are awake, please follow me to the restaurant for dinner. The young ladies are waiting for your arrival there."

Youxing heard the maid's voice and had to put these doubts aside for the time being.

As a duelist, you need to carry valuable items such as duel disks and card decks with you when you go out.

Yusei put the Duel Disk on his hand, put his phone in his pocket, and hung his card holder on his waist.

After making preparations, he walked to the door, opened the door of the room, and said to the maid waiting outside: "Please take me to the restaurant. I am indeed a little hungry..."

This maid was the old lady who had given Yusei the key to his room before, so Yusei spoke in a more gentle manner.

It seemed that the old lady in front of him did not take away his clothes. It should be other maids who were in charge of them. They should have used the spare key of the guest room.

The maids of the Amamiya family were very considerate. They probably came in in the morning and saw Yuxing still asleep, so they did not choose to wake Yuxing up for breakfast, nor did they touch Yuxing's deck casually. They just took away his clothes and did not do anything extra.

Youxing asked the old lady about this and got a positive answer. After his clothes were washed, the maid would deliver them back to his room.

"Please follow me." The maid led Youxing to take the elevator and soon arrived at the floor where the restaurant was located. On the way to the restaurant, Youxing also memorized the corresponding route in his mind.

Next time you come here, you won’t have to worry about getting lost or losing your way.

(The Overlord’s true identity can be understood as the protagonist of a parallel world, representing a certain possibility of the protagonist’s future… not another time traveler. I’ll explain this here to avoid misunderstandings.)

041 Preparation for school admission

Yusei followed the maid into the dining room.

He looked around and found that the furnishings here were not as he had imagined, a simple structure of tables and chairs connected together, but more like the furnishings in a high-end hotel.

In the vast space of the restaurant, there are evenly distributed round tables, covered with special white tablecloths. On the round tables covered with tablecloths, there are glass vases filled with flowers.

The restaurant is located on the middle floor of the building. Sitting at a table by the window, you can enjoy the scenery outside the window.

It was lunch time and you could see a lot of people coming and going.

Scattered throughout the restaurant were waiters and maids, serving the diners.

The two sisters of the Tiangong family had already taken their seats at one of the tables. Youxing looked at the table from afar and it seemed that the food had been served, but the meal had not yet begun.

Miss Jie was no longer wearing her thick glasses. Instead, she showed her charming face. Together with Liya, they looked like a pair of cute sisters.

The sisters seemed to be waiting for Yusei's arrival.

Grandpa Sebastian was still standing by Liya's side. When he saw Youxing walking towards him, he nodded slightly to him, and Youxing also nodded in greeting.

"Big brother, are you a pig? You just get up after the sun is shining on your butt!" As soon as Youxing walked to the table, Liya mercilessly ridiculed him.

Yuxing couldn't refute it for a moment. He couldn't tell this little Loli that he had a dream in which he defeated the minions of the Overlord, saved a boy, and got a new card unexpectedly...

Even he himself didn't understand what this inexplicable dream meant. Even if he told others about it, no one would believe him.

Thinking of this, Youxing scratched his head helplessly. He gave Liya an awkward but polite smile, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Okay, okay, Youxing, you didn't have breakfast and you must be hungry! Let's eat quickly. Liya said these things because she cares about her big brother." Fortunately, Miss Jie was there to smooth things over, so the atmosphere did not become awkward.

While eating, Jie handed Youxing a small notebook and said that this was his student ID card, which he would need to prove his identity when he enrolled in school.

"By the way, why don't you go to the Duel Academy?" Youxing asked this question. In his opinion, in this world where duels are supreme, a place like the Duel Academy should be the place that all young duelists aspire to be.

The Duel Academy is one of the top prestigious schools in this world. It is an ivory tower that only carefully selected duelists can enter, but Jie chose to give up this opportunity.

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Yui showed a thoughtful expression on her face, and she said, "For me, there are more interesting things waiting for me than a duel."

Jie pointed around and continued, "For example, the operation of this company is basically under my charge now. I can find happiness in this process, just like you can find confidence in a duel."

Jie paused, then added: "I think my current life is good, there is no need to change it, dueling is just a hobby."

Youxing: “…”

Miss Yui saw through Yusei's true nature at a glance. Just as she said, Yusei standing on the duel arena was confident and determined, and it seemed that no difficulty could defeat him.

"I think it's a wonderful feeling to be able to do what I like in the field I'm good at. There is no need to force myself to become a duelist." Miss Jie raised the water glass on the table and took a sip, with a warm smile on her face.

"Indeed, not everyone in this world wants to be a Duelist. The functioning of society requires the joint efforts of people from all walks of life..." After hearing the final explanation, Youxing became serious for once.

Liya was still young and couldn't understand the meaning behind their conversation. She simply felt that the topic they were discussing was difficult to understand and she had no way of interrupting them...

Liya hugged the little bear in her arms tightly and complained: "I don't understand these profound principles!"

Yusei saw Lea puffing up her cheeks and looking at him, and he couldn't help but smile. He asked Lea, "Lea, are you planning to become a professional duelist in the future?"

Seeing that Yusei was finally willing to talk to her, Ria relaxed her puffy cheeks.

She straightened her chest, put the little bear doll in front of her, and said, "I originally had this plan... But after the duel with my big brother, I still feel that it is necessary to learn more, so I am not in a hurry to go to the Duel Academy now."

"Big brother, don't forget me when you go to the Duel Academy. Maybe I will come to play with you then!" Liya waved her little fist, indicating that she would continue on the path of dueling.

"You're welcome anytime." Youxing could never refuse a beautiful girl's request.

……

...

The lunch time was spent in a quick chat among the three of us.

After lunch, Youxing went out for a walk alone, planning to buy some daily necessities, after all, he was going to Duel Academy tomorrow.

The Tiangong family’s building is located in the urban area, so there are many living facilities around it, such as restaurants and shopping malls.

Youxing found a shopping mall nearby and used the prize money he won from a previous competition to buy a black backpack. He planned to use it to carry luggage such as clothes and duel disks.

When passing by a card store, Youxing bought two mixed card packs. The result was just as he expected, and no rare cards were found.

Come to think of it, the duel monsters in this world are different from those in the previous world. Many cards only exist in a few copies or even in one copy. How can they be obtained easily?

The [Hero] card that Yusei had used before was the one he brought with him when he came to this world.

Some of these cards are new types of monsters that do not exist in this world.

……

After buying some daily necessities, Youxing prepared to return to the building.

Yui had just called Yusei and told him that the clothes he had taken off earlier had been packed and delivered to Yusei's room.

Yusei then planned to stay in the card room and sort out the cards.

The deck used in the previous duel with Naki is a bit too strong for the Duel Academy we will be attending later. There is no need to use such a powerful deck now.

Yusei made a judgment and made some slight changes to the deck he originally used in the duel with Rio.

After all, in this world, the first attacker can draw cards and there is no upper limit to the extra deck, so the possibilities of the deck increase accordingly. Following this idea, he formed a new deck.

Yusei looked at the newly assembled deck, thought about the scene that would appear later, and a strange smile appeared on his face...

042 New Students of Duel Academy

The next morning, Youxing got up early because today was the day he would start school.

Youxing kept thinking about this matter in his heart, so he didn't sleep well at night and woke up several times in the middle of the night.
