Chapter 1

In the graveyard there was a boy sitting there digging a tiny hole in ground.

"Today, they are holding a certain noblewoman's gala, The last, grandest ceremony of her life. Her funeral."( Undertaker)

That woman is my mother. She always wanted a fancy funeral like royalty. As my father gave her one, as we are in the funeral business name is Crevan funeral. I prefer to call the job by the old name, Undertaker, as it seems cooler. I'm not as sad as I was before her death because I will bring her back from the dead using this necromancy book I found in our house hidden under the floor. Before I do that at night, I have to bury this ripped Duel Monster card, Wretched Ghost Of The Attic, that I found. Poor Duel Monster, ripped by its last owner. I have done this to cards I found that got destroyed by their past owners.

Father: " Thanatos , it is time for the ceremony for your mother."

Thanatos: " I'm coming father." As I did a quick pray hands for the now buried duel monster.

That night, I left our house through a window to go to the cemetery while holding the necromancy book that had a picture of a bone dragon on it.

I started to read the spell from it. As the sky turned dark and cloudy, lightning and thunder were going on as I read. Once I was done, nothing happened.

"Damn, this book must have been a fake. I'm sorry, Mom, I couldn't bring you back," tears started to come down.

I made it home after and threw the book across the room. I jumped back into bed and fell asleep.

Then the book started to glow and turned into a deck box that is a skull. As cards started to fill it up.

Something definitely happened. That something happened in the spirit world underworld...

( I'll be using the lore from them a bit.)

In the depths of the darkest underworld lies a vast mountain of bones, stretching as far as the eye can see, devoid of any signs of life. The solitary king of the netherworld gathers these bones together and, with a breath of "The Mist of the Underworld," brings them back to life.

Lonely King: "My friend must have gotten the book I sent to them. As a thank you for performing the funeral for all the duel monsters they did. They sent all their bones to me. I can make some friends. I can also be their friend once the ritual is made with all the other monsters that are able to come back to life."

With a resounding boom, the lonely king and the other monster spirits erupted in cheers as they heard the noise.

Addressing his newly resurrected companions, the king declared, "The time has come. Let us go forth and serve our new ally, who has granted us a second chance at life."

Back at Thanatos' home, as he sleeps, he has a dream about most of the monsters that he buried before. They were dancing around him. Their was even a big bone dragon in the background. Then a big skeleton came to him.

Lonely King: "Thank you for sending me friends to help my loneliness. Now, to pay you back, we will serve you until the end of time, our new friend and benefactor."

Then I woke up. Looking around, I saw the book was no longer there, but a skull. When I went closer to it, I noticed it was a deck box. I opened it up. There they were, the duel monsters I saw. Then suddenly I heard a noise coming from one of the cards. A big fluffy fur ball came out. Isn't that the Wretched Ghost Of The Attic? I looked at the card, it now says Mementotlan Ghattic.

Sounding like a dog, it landed on my shoulder, rubbing its head on me. So cute. Then it wasn't a dream but real. Looks like I made some new friends. I looked at the rest of the cards. I was lonely too.

Couple years later.

Professor Thelonious Viper Pov:

I have been invited to Duel Academy by Chancellor Sheppard. This sets in motion my plans. I need to have the best duelist with me when I go. I already have 4 from branches, but they will not be enough. I went and got one from the Egyptian branch and now I am going for the last one in England.

This one is a weird one. I have heard stories of him talking to thin air as if something is there. He likes to hang out in graveyards. Why do good duelists always have a kink or two in them? As I walk into the funeral home, there is no one here.

Professor Thelonious Viper: "Hello, anybody here? I'm Professor Thelonious Viper. I'm looking for Thanatos Crevan from England's top Academy."

Crack... A coffin opens up. There he comes out of it.

Thanatos Crevan: "Nothing beats a good nap in a well-made coffin. Oh, a customer. Are you here for a friend, family, or for yourself? Let me tell you, whoever it is will be comfortable in our coffins. Even I can sleep in them without any problem."

He smiled. This kid has a screw loose somewhere. Who in the right mind sleeps in a coffin...

Professor Thelonious Viper: "No, I'm not here for that. I'm here for you to join me to go to Japan's best dueling Academy. I already talked to the school, and they are very happy to see you go there." (No wonder they are happy to send him off somewhere else.)

Thanatos Crevan: "Sure, if you can make me laugh, I'll be happy to go with you."

I looked around, and no one is here. I came closer to him. This is embarrassing. I'll tell a joke my son once laughed at.

Professor Thelonious Viper: "How does a snake practice archery?... With a boa and arrow!"

My face turned red after saying the joke.

Thanatos Crevan: "Hahaha, I'm not even laughing at the joke 😂 I'm laughing because that's such a lame dad joke. I guess a deal is a deal. I'll come with you. When do we leave?"

Professor Thelonious Viper: "In a few weeks. I'll come by and pick you up."

Thanatos Crevan Pov:

Professor Thelonious Viper fast walked outside real quick as if trying to get away from something.

"Japan's top Dueling Academy. I was getting bored around here. It seems like it will be a lot of fun. Isn't that right, everyone?" As my deck started to glow.
