Duel City: Card Play

In this story, a young man named Yuyu finds himself unexpectedly transported into the world of a popular online card game called "Link World Online," which is based on the iconic anime series "Yu-Gi-Oh!". Struggling to come to terms with his new reality, Yuyu navigates through the bustling streets of Tongshi Wild, a virtual rendition of the anime's setting, where dueling is a way of life. As Yuyu adjusts to his new NPC status within the game world, he discovers that his attributes are skewed heavily towards charm, with an exceptionally high charm level but disappointingly low luck and endurance. Despite his initial disbelief, Yuyu realizes that his familiarity with the game may give him an edge in this unfamiliar world. As he contemplates his next steps, Yuyu reflects on his previous experiences in "Link World Online," where he had created entertaining dueling videos and carved out a niche for himself in the gaming community. Now faced with the challenge of surviving in a world where dueling prowess and charm hold significant sway, Yuyu must find a way to thrive as he embarks on an unexpected adventure filled with strategic duels, unexpected encounters, and the quest for self-discovery. Through his journey, Yuyu will encounter familiar characters from the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" series, form unlikely alliances, and confront his own insecurities as he strives to make a name for himself in this virtual realm. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of Link World and uncovers the true nature of his existence within the game, Yuyu must harness his unique attributes and inner strength to overcome challenges and forge his own path to greatness. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Advance Chapters: patreon.com/ReadingOasis

Pure Hero Card Deck

All players who create accounts and log in will automatically be equipped with the duel disk system that comes with the game's new player package.

The timeline for the launch of Link World Online is set during the Duelist City arc of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. At this point, Kaiba Corporation has just developed the duel disk, a revolutionary device that projects holographic images of monsters, and the wealthy corporation has provided these state-of-the-art duel disks for free to all recognized duelists.

Yuyu confirmed that he seemed to have been reborn even earlier than the game launch.

On the side of a billboard in the commercial district, it was written that there was still over a month left until the Duelist City Tournament hosted by Kaiba Corporation, which also meant there was still a month until the game launch and the influx of a large number of real card game players.

Hmm.

One month seems a bit short, doesn't it?

According to this rebirth plot, shouldn't they give at least three years to develop, waiting for players to come and harvest them?

One month's time in this liver-wasting and hair-loss-causing game like Link World, who knows if a decent card deck can be assembled.

It's worth mentioning that many cards easily obtained in real life may be highly rare in Link World, and even if you spend a lot of effort and money, you may not be able to get them.

Take the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, for example.

This card cannot be obtained from the system's card pool. There's no record of any player obtaining it through tasks until Yuyu's arrival.

Although there's no concrete evidence, some suspect that in this game, there might truly be only three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in the world, and they are all in the hands of NPC Seto Kaiba.

There are other rare cards, such as Dark Magician. Although not as rare as having only a few copies in the world, it's still extremely difficult to obtain, and it's not possible to obtain it from the system's card pool.

In short, obtaining certain rare cards and decks in Link World is akin to obtaining secret manuals in martial arts games. Whether you can obtain them depends not only on the player's gaming skills but also on luck.

It's common knowledge that the card deck is the most powerful weapon in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, so shortly after being reborn into this world, Yuyu naturally immediately checked his initial card deck.

And unsurprisingly, it's an Elemental HERO deck.

Wow! Starting with an Elemental HERO deck! Shouldn't that be very powerful, like a protagonist's deck?

Like hell!

What heroes? What transformations? There's not even a Sky Gal!

Without Sky Gal, who the hell would want to be a hero?

(Note: Elemental HERO Stratos, Level 4, ATK 1800, DEF 300.

Effect: When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can activate one of the following effects:

1) Destroy Spell/Trap Cards on the field up to the number of other "HERO" monsters you control.

2) Add 1 "HERO" monster from your Deck to your hand.)

But then again, there's really nothing to complain about because Yuyu chose this Elemental HERO deck when he created this account.

When players create their characters, the system provides many different themed initial decks to choose from. However, after players' research, it was found that it didn't matter which one was chosen; the initial decks would only give them a bunch of normal monsters that weren't very useful.

These monsters are revered by card players as "Vanilla."

So why choose the Elemental HERO deck for this account?

That's because at the end of the last video he uploaded, Yuyu made a promise with the audience that the next video would feature a "pure" HERO deck. As a result, the HERO deck didn't become a reality, and he inexplicably got taken to another world along with his account. (Warning: Giant Soldier of Stone warning.JPG)

But Yuyu has another advantage.

That is, as a reborn individual, he is well aware of all the events that have occurred since the game launched, including some triggered by players, as well as some hidden plotlines.

He remembered that in his previous life, a player seemed to have triggered a one-time hidden plotline and received quite generous rewards, becoming a top player in the arena among players in multiple versions since then.

Yuyu carefully recalled and sorted through all the various richly rewarded hidden plotlines and tasks he remembered, but most of them had extremely strict triggering conditions, were once-in-a-lifetime lucky events, or had complex processes and required strong abilities.

——You often need to have a strong deck to complete the tasks.

There are also some tasks and plots that may be very dangerous, and may even risk lives.

What? You can lose your life just by playing a game?

That's right.

In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, there are extraordinary powers, among which the most widely known are the "Dark Games."

It is said that the Dark Games are ancient rituals passed down from ancient Egypt, ancient magical ceremonies that those who possess supernatural powers can open.

These powers can affect any game with rules and victory conditions, and any type of game, such as cards, mahjong, chess, or even tossing a coin to guess heads or tails.

However, among all these types of rituals, the games based on the rules of Duel

 Monsters are the games with the strongest magical effects. The Dark Games based on the rules of Duel Monsters often involve the souls of the participants, sometimes even surpassing life and death, and are called taboo games.

In the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, there are actually quite a few people who possess dark powers, definitely more than what is shown in the anime series.

Each generation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime revolves around the protagonist, so what the audience sees is only a tip of the iceberg under this worldview. The story of Yu-Gi-Oh! involves gods and demons, the mortal world and the underworld, time travel, dimensional barriers, and so on.

In fact, there have always been individuals with different levels of dark powers scattered around the world. For thousands of years, the inheritance of these ancient magical rituals has never been interrupted.

And it is precisely because of this that the gameplay in Link World is very rich. Players do not necessarily have to participate in the main plot around the protagonist, and other regions may trigger plotlines and tasks that are not found in the anime.

However, these power holders vary in strength. The strong ones, like the wielders of Millennium Items, can even pierce through dimensions and time, as for the weak ones

They might just be able to make the loser of the game bark like a dog.

For players, it doesn't really matter. Although players' game characters can be defeated in Dark Games, they can still be resurrected. The worst thing for players is the failure of the corresponding task.

But for Yuyu now, it's different.

Although he still has the game interface with him, the template has become an NPC, and who knows if he can still resurrect if he dies in a Dark Game.

So, in anticipation of the worst, he temporarily doesn't plan to touch these dangerous tasks.
