This is...
A clue to the first Guardian. Kamishiro lowered his voice, "Seven days later, an exhibition match will be held at the Domino Arena. Win the match, and you can challenge the first Guardian—my teacher, the Blue-Eyes Apostle, Kamishiro Ryuichi." He turned and walked towards the door, hoping to give me even more surprises then, Chosen One.
After Kamishiro left, the old man Ryuzaki stepped forward: "Well done, kid. But you should know that Kamishiro Ryo is only a Bronze-level duelist. His teacher, Kamishiro Ryuichi, is a Gold-level powerhouse, possessing the true power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
Yuuki nodded, feeling the weight of the card in his hand: I will become stronger. Before challenging the Guardians.
"A wise decision." Ryuzaki smiled. "Now, would you like to take a look at our special card holders? The kind prepared especially for the chosen ones..."
Yuuki's Duel Disk vibrated again, and the screen displayed: [Suggested to exchange for new cards to strengthen the deck]. He looked up at Ryuzaki: Please show me the most suitable replacement card.
As Yuuki stepped out of the Dragon Card Shop, the setting sun had bathed Domino City in gold. His deck had gained several new cards, and he had exchanged his DP points for Saiyan Goku and the Saiyan Fusion Technique. The exhibition match seven days later would be his first real challenge, and before that, he needed more practical experience.
At the street corner, a hooded figure silently watched Yuki's departing figure, muttering to himself: "Saiyan... interesting. I wonder how he compares to those guys from the underworld?"
Yuki was oblivious to the spy. His mind was already focused on the impending battle and the mission bestowed upon him by the mysterious Card God. Seven mysterious cards, seven guardians... perhaps the key to his home lies at the end of this path.
Just you wait, Ryuichi Kamishiro. Yuki clenched his fist. "I'll show you the true power of a Saiyan!"
The setting sun cast its golden rays upon the streets of Domino City. Yuuki stood in front of the Dragon Card Shop, clutching his newly acquired card. Old Man Ryuzaki stood beside him, the wrinkles on his face appearing even deeper in the twilight. ...
"Remember, child," Ryuzaki's voice was deep and serious. "The Saiyan deck resonates with the energy system of this world in a unique way. It's not simply about summoning and fighting, but..." He paused, seemingly searching for the right words, a manifestation of life energy.
Yuki looked down at the subtle golden patterns on his Duel Disk, which were now shimmering slightly with his breath: You mean, these cards... are alive?
In a sense, yes. Ryuzaki smiled mysteriously. You'll understand soon enough. Now, head back to your lodgings before nightfall. The nights in Domino City... aren't really suitable for a rookie duelist like yourself.
Yuki nodded and carefully placed the new card into the card box. The Saiyan Goku he exchanged for 200 DP was a Level 4 monster with 2000 ATK, whose effect was that it could be Special Summoned when its Life Points were lower than the opponent's; while Saiyan Fusion Technique was a Fusion Spell Card that could use Saiyan monsters in the Graveyard as Fusion Material.
Thank you for your help. You Ji bowed to the old man and turned to walk towards the street.
He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze on his back. You Ji turned around abruptly, only to see a hooded figure quickly disappear around the corner at the end of the alley. The feeling of being watched made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.
Who's there? Yuki instinctively pressed down on the duel disk, but the alley was already empty.
He shook his head and continued walking towards the main street. Perhaps it was just someone sent by Ryo Kamishiro to follow him? Or perhaps other duelists interested in the Chosen One? In any case, he needed to familiarize himself with the new deck as soon as possible to prepare for the match in seven days.
The main street was bustling with people, and various duel-related shops were brightly lit. Yuki searched for the cheap inn he had passed on the way here, following his memory—he was penniless now, but fortunately, he could pay for the inn with DP points earned from duel victories.
Hey kid! A gruff voice suddenly came from the side.
Yuki turned his head and saw three young men in leather jackets blocking his way. The leader was a burly man with dyed red hair, and the duel disk on his arm was already unfolded.
"Judging from your duel board, you're a newbie, huh?" The red-haired youth grinned, revealing a few gold teeth. "How about a street duel? The three of us can take turns, the stakes are 50 DP per match."
Yuki narrowed his eyes. This was a good opportunity for him to test his new deck, but the stamina drain from three consecutive battles was not to be underestimated. Just as he hesitated, the Duel Disk vibrated, and a holographic screen popped up:
Street Challenge Mission
[Defeat three Bronze Level 1 Duelists]
[Reward: 50 DP per match, with an additional 100 DP for consecutive wins]
[Recommendation to accept: Estimated win rate 87%]
The system has already said so... Yuji nodded: I accept. But the rules are changed to quick battle mode, 4000 health points, and you can't draw cards if you go first.
"Ha! You've got guts!" the red-haired youth laughed. "I'm the first! Duel!"
Duel! Yuuki unfolds the Duel Disk, and the surrounding scenery instantly transforms into a virtual battlefield.
I'll go first! The red-haired youth quickly draws a card, summoning a Genetic Werewolf (2000 ATK), setting two cards face down, and ends the turn!
Yuki glanced at the werewolf monster and two face-down cards on his opponent's field, and a plan formed in his mind. He checked his starting hand: Saiyan Goku, Saiyan Fusion Technique, Saiyan Battle Suit, Ki Blast, and Saiyan Pride.
My turn, draw a card! Yuuki drew Saiyan Scout, I will Normal Summon Saiyan Son Goku (Attack Power 2000)!
A Saiyan warrior with black hair, a tail wrapped around his waist, and a flowing robe appeared on the field, striking a classic fighting pose.
Then activate the Saiyan Battle Suit equipment magic, increasing Goku's attack power by 500! Goku is covered in battle armor (attack power 2500).
Battle! Saiyan Goku attacks Gene-Born Werewolf! Kamehameha!
Sun Wukong formed his hands into a calyx shape, unleashing a blue energy wave that instantly annihilated the werewolf monster. The red-haired youth's health dropped from 4000 to 3500.
The red-haired youth unleashes the Cry of the Undead Trap Card! Not to be outdone, he shouts, "Resurrect, Genetic Werewolf!"
The werewolf monster reappeared on the field.
Cover two cards, end the turn. Yuuki puts aside his Ki Blast and Saiyan pride.
My turn, draw a card! The red-haired youth glanced at his hand and activated the Spell Card Lightning Vortex! Discard one card from your hand and destroy all face-up Attack Position monsters on your field!
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Sun Wukong squarely.
Unleash a rapid-fire magic energy wave! Yuuki immediately counterattacks, reducing your Gene Werewolf's attack power by 1000 and dealing 500 damage!
Just before the lightning struck, Sun Wukong unleashed a ki blast, weakening the werewolf's attack power (from 2000 to 1000), reducing the red-haired youth's health to 3000. The lightning then struck Sun Wukong, destroying him.
"Damn it...the gene-engineered werewolf attacks directly!" the red-haired youth ordered.
Yuki's HP dropped from 4000 to 3000.
"Round over!" the red-haired youth said smugly. "Let's see what you do next round!"
My turn, draw a card! Yuuki drew Saiyan Resurrection, activate the Spell Card Saiyan Resurrection! When your Life Points are lower than your opponent's, you can Special Summon a Saiyan Monster from your Graveyard and double its ATK! Revive, Saiyan Goku (ATK 2000 → 4000)!
Sun Wukong reappeared in an even more powerful form, surrounded by golden flames.
4000 attack power?! The red-haired youth's expression changed drastically.
Battle! Saiyan Goku attacks Gene-Born Werewolf! Super Kamehameha!
An even more powerful energy wave completely shattered the werewolf monster, and the red-haired youth's health points dropped from 3000 to zero.
"The victor is Yuuki!" the mechanical female voice announced.
"Damn it!" The red-haired youth stomped his foot in frustration, then turned to his companion, "Ah Tie, you go!"
The second opponent was a tall, thin guy who used a defensive Rock-type deck. Yuki used the Saiyan Scout's search effect and Vegeta's high attack power to break through the opponent's defense in the fifth round and win.
The third player used a Warrior-type deck that focused on Special Summoning, but he was powerless against Yuki's newly acquired Saiyan Fusion Technique. He banished Goku and Scout from his graveyard to Fusion Summon Saiyan Warrior (2800 ATK), and then used Super Saiyan Transformation to defeat his opponent in one fell swoop.
After three consecutive wins, Yuuki's DP points increased by 250 (150 base + 100-win bonus), reaching 650. The three street duelists slunk away, while Yuuki continued walking towards the inn, quite satisfied with the performance of his new deck.
Back in his simple hotel room, Yuuki spread his deck out on the bed and began to carefully study the effects of each card and possible combos. As he pondered, the golden patterns on his Duel Disk flickered intermittently, seemingly responding to his thoughts.
"If only I could get another Saiyan Prince Vegeta card..." Yuuki muttered to himself. Suddenly, the Duel Disk vibrated, and a holographic screen popped up:
897
[DP Mall Update]
[New redeemable cards added:]
【Saiyan Prince Vegeta (300DP)】
【Saiyan Spirit Bomb (200DP)】
【Saiyan Instant Transmission (150 DP)】
Yuki's eyes lit up, and he immediately exchanged 300 DP for a second Vegeta, and another 200 DP for a Saiyan Spirit Bomb—a powerful magic card that can destroy all monsters on the field with an attack power of less than 3000.
Just as he was rebuilding his deck, a cold voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Adapting well, Chosen One."
You Ji suddenly looked up: Card God?
"You can call me that," the voice continued. "It seems you've grasped the basics of the Saiyan deck. But remember, the real challenge is just beginning."
Why did you choose me? Yuki finally asked the question that had been troubling him: Why were you brought into this world?
After a moment of silence, the voice replied: "Because your deck contains the power to fight against the shadows. The seven guardians protect not only seven mysterious cards, but also seven seals. Now, the seals are loosening."
What does that mean? What shadow? What seal? Yu Ji pressed for answers, but the voice had already vanished, leaving only a bellyful of questions.
It was late at night, and Eryin Wu 7 Jiu Liu & San Er Youji lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Outside the window, the neon lights of Domino City flickered, and the projection advertisements for Duel Monsters were particularly eye-catching in the night sky. This world was far more complex than he had imagined, and the Saiyan deck seemed to play some kind of crucial role.
The next morning, a series of urgent knocks on the door startled Yuki awake.
"Who?" he asked warily, his hand already on the duel disk.
There was no reply, only an envelope slipped under the door. Yu Ji carefully picked it up, opened it, and found a black invitation letter with gold lettering inside:
To the chosen one, Yuki:
You are cordially invited to the abandoned Domino Wharf this evening for a private duel.
Your opponent will be Dark Moon of the Dark Realm.
PS: I know the truth behind your summons here.
Yuki's fingers trembled slightly. The Dark World—this was the very deck the spy had mentioned last night. But what bothered him even more was the last sentence: the other party knew the truth about how he had been summoned to this world!
The duel disk vibrated at the opportune moment, and the holographic screen displayed:
[Special Mission Triggered]
Defeat Dark Moon, the messenger of the Dark Realm.
[Reward: DP500, Super Saiyan 2 unlocked]
[Warning: This opponent is a Bronze Level 5 duelist; high risk]
Yuji took a deep breath, clutching the invitation in his hand. Another mystery, another duel. But isn't this the meaning of his being brought into this world?
Dark Moon... he murmured the name. "I accept your challenge."
Chapter 313 The Challenge of the Dark World
The twilight cast a blood-red glow over the abandoned Domino Wharf. Rusty containers were stacked in a labyrinthine pattern, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, swept across the empty space. Yuuki gripped his duel disk, cautiously surveying his surroundings. It was too quiet here; even the sound of the waves crashing against the shore was unusually clear.
Arriving on time is commendable.
A soft, feminine voice came from above. You Ji looked up sharply and saw a tall, slender figure standing on top of the container. The person was wearing a long black overcoat, and a half-mask covered their pale face, revealing a half-smile on their lips.
Dark Moon? Yuki narrowed his eyes.
The man in black leaped lightly, landing almost silently. Indeed. He bowed slightly, welcoming you to your first trial ground, chosen one.
Yuki's Duel Disk suddenly began to vibrate violently, and the holographic screen flashed red:
[Warning! High concentration of shadow energy detected.]
[Opponent's danger level has been raised to Silver Level 1]
[Recommendation: Extreme caution]
