Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"What's wrong, Mr. Soreva?"

"No, I'm fine."

"That's good."

Yuzu let out a sigh of relief, blinked, and asked Soreva,

"Mr. Soleva, which card pack do you think I should open?"

"Well, if it's just an add-on, then the only cards you can use from the [Announcer] series are probably [Crimson Radiance Announcer] and [Void Radiance Announcer]. I've gotten quite a few of those cards by chance before, so there's no need to specifically pull for the [Announcer] series card packs."

This is a lie. Soreva simply noticed that both cards were only R in rarity. Even if he didn't have them, he could craft them with R dust, so Hiiragi Yuzu didn't need to go through the trouble of drawing them.

The same applies to the [Proxy] series. With [Proxy's Guard Moon] in conjunction with the [Fantasy] deck, that's enough. Other cards in the [Proxy] series don't have good compatibility with the [Fantasy] deck.

Forcing the combination of [Proxy] and Yuzu Hiiragi's [Illusion] deck together can easily lead to the following situation:

Since most of the [Proxy] card effects are related to the deck's own cards, the number of [Proxy] cards in the deck increases. At this point, [Illusion] becomes a burden to the deck, and you can only reduce your inclusion of it.

As a result, in this cycle, all the [Fantasy] cards in the [Fantasy] deck were optimized out and turned into the [Proxy] deck, which was not good.

In contrast, the [Goddess of War] card pack contains versatile Angel-type cards such as [Ernest] and [Archangel Cristia], which are more suitable for Hiiragi Yuzu's [Fantasy] deck.

Chapter 39 Strange Places and Card Spirits

"So, Yuzu, which card pack series are you planning to buy?"

Soreva had no interest in things that required him to think about himself, and returned the choice to Yuzu Hiiragi.

However, Yuzu seemed to have seen through Soreva's intention to slack off, and with a smile, she threw the question back at Soreva:

"I believe Mr. Soleva will be able to choose the most suitable card pack for me, so I'll leave it to Mr. Soleva."

"alright, I got it."

His body fell heavily backward, and as he lay on the bed, Soreva's voice rang out with a profound sense of despair.

"Then come back tonight to pick up your wallets. Let me have a good rest this afternoon."

“Alright, Mr. Soreva, we won’t bother you any longer.”

Sensing the drowsiness in Sorewa's voice, Hiiragi Yuzu immediately stood up and left with Sakaki Yuya and Shiunin Sora.

Lying on the bed, Soleva felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Soon, his eyelids started to droop, and he drifted off to sleep.

"where is this place?"

Walking through a sprawling black fog, Soreva couldn't understand how he had ended up in such a strange place after simply closing his eyes to take a nap.

"Is it a dream?"

Soreva pinched his face and felt a sharp pain, but he didn't wake up.

Is this place real?

Although I don't know where I am, if I don't move forward, I'll just be stuck here, right?

With this thought in mind, Soreva took a step forward, and at that moment, the black mist that had been shrouding his eyes slowly dispersed to both sides as he took that step.

"It seems that although this black fog obscures my view, it doesn't seem to hinder me. In that case, let's move forward."

Taking long strides forward, Soreva could no longer be described as walking; running would be a more accurate description.

And so, after running for an unknown amount of time, just when Soreva was getting a little tired, he suddenly noticed that ahead of the thick black fog, there seemed to be an area where the blackness was even denser.

Is there something there?

Thinking this, Soleva cautiously approached the area where the blackness was more intense. However, just a few steps away from the black area, it suddenly accelerated and moved closer to him.

This immediately caused Soreva's expression to change:

"Oh no, what kind of creature is this? It's spotted me!?"

Before Soreva could even run away, the black area suddenly burst out of the black mist and slammed heavily into Soreva's stomach.

“Puwa…”

Soreva winced instantly from the impact, but when he grabbed the culprit and brought it close to his face, a look of confusion flashed across his expression.

"This is... a rescue rabbit?"

Soreva was holding an adorable black and white rabbit wearing a helmet on its head. It was none other than the first desktop pet given to every player in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Mega Drive game, the Rescue Rabbit.

While Soreva held the rabbit in his hand, even though Soreva himself didn't know why he could read a rabbit's expression, he clearly saw joy on the rescued rabbit's face.

Immediately afterward, Soreva saw the rescue rabbit in his hand open its mouth and let out a sharp scream, which stunned Soreva, as he had never seen a rabbit make a sound before.

However, with the rescue rabbit's scream, Soreva discovered that many dark figures, identical to the rescue rabbit, had suddenly appeared around him.

"these are……"

As the true forms of these shadowy figures emerged one by one, Soreva was stunned.

"Three-eyed monster, Star Cup Dragon, Cotton Candy, Yo-yo..."

As one monster after another approached him, Soreva finally realized that these monsters seemed to be the desktop pets he had obtained in the MD system, but now they were standing in front of him.

After a moment of delight upon seeing Soleva, all the monsters turned their heads and headed in the same direction. The Star Cup Dragon even bit Soleva's trouser leg, as if trying to drag him in that direction.

"Is there something you need my help with over there?"

Having understood what the little dragon meant, Soreva immediately lifted his legs and followed behind the group of monsters, heading in the direction they indicated.

After running with these monsters for an unknown amount of time, Soreva and the monsters finally stopped in front of an area radiating golden light.

Perhaps it was because of the dazzling golden light, but Soreva was surprised to find that there was no black fog nearby, but instead, there was green grass, showing a thriving scene.

Soreva squinted at the golden light and could vaguely make out that the figure lying on the ground, bathed in golden light, was actually a "person".

However, there are many humanoid monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh!, so Soleva is not sure whether it is a human or some kind of humanoid monster.

"Um, hello, are you alright?"

He cautiously approached and asked the glowing figure, but received no response.

Seeing the almost lifeless glowing figure lying on the ground, Soreva lowered his guard slightly and approached the figure.

Given the current situation, even if I touch him, he shouldn't suddenly lash out, right?

Thinking this, Soreva walked to the glowing figure and reached out to touch what should be the figure's forehead.

In that instant, the golden light emanating from the figure rapidly receded and condensed onto the figure itself, causing Soreva to be immediately taken aback:

"It's actually a woman?"

Indeed, it wasn't until the golden light subsided that Soreva realized that the figure possessed such a curvaceous figure that it was undoubtedly a woman.

Just as Soreva was stunned, her body trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes! Although her eyes were still filled with golden light, Soreva was certain that she had regained consciousness.

"Finally, I've met you, the master of these card spirits. Thank you so much. If it weren't for these card spirits protecting me, my consciousness might have remained dormant until that crisis occurred, at which point I would have awakened again."

Hearing the woman's thanks, Soreva rubbed his head and chuckled sheepishly.

"Not at all, you flatter me..."

Suddenly, Soreva realized what the woman had said, and immediately looked at her in disbelief, shouting out loud:

"What did you say? You mean they're all card sprites?"

Looking at the numerous monsters that Soreva pointed to, the woman nodded slightly, confirming the information once again:

"That's right, they are all your card spirits."

Chapter 40 Crisis in the Elf World

Soreva found that there were far too many things that could shock him today.

The fact that card sprites actually exist is one example; and the fact that the desktop pet he obtained in the MD system actually became a card sprite is another.

However, despite what the woman said, Soreva still had many doubts in his mind:

"But why are you so sure they're my card sprites? Aren't you afraid of mistaking them for someone else?"

Upon hearing Soreva's words, the woman simply smiled and began to explain on his behalf:

"No, they can't be mistaken. It was they who recognized you. And I only learned from them that you are their master because I can understand the voices of the elves."

"I see……"

After stroking his chin and sighing for a moment, Soreva suddenly remembered the "crisis" the woman had just mentioned, and immediately frowned and asked,

"Do you know where this place is? And what exactly is the crisis you just mentioned?"

Upon hearing Soreva's question, the woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Soreva could also sense a sense of relief in her golden face.

"This is the Spirit World, the place where the Card Spirits live. As for the danger..."

After a moment's hesitation, the woman asked Soreva a question.

"Did you see that patch of black fog when you came over?"

Faced with this question, Soreva immediately nodded, and seeing that Soreva had already seen the black mist, the woman continued:

"Actually, this crisis is also related to this black mist. However, my memory is incomplete. I only remember that a person named Zack created a card called [Tyrannosaurus Rex Zack] in an attempt to destroy the world. From that day on, this black mist was born in the Elf Realm and has been eroding the Elf Realm day by day."

"Zack... there's also [Tyrannosaurus Rex Zack]?"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Soreva was taken aback. He remembered the name Zack, the kind man who had inexplicably defeated him and contributed 4000 diamonds.

There's also [Tyrannosaurus Rex Zach], which is included in the Pendulum deck he built.

"Is this the [Tyrannosaurus Rex Zack] you're talking about?"

The woman was startled when she saw the card that Soreva pulled out, which was extremely similar to the one in her memory, but she quickly calmed down:

"Your card does look very similar to his, but your card doesn't contain the spirit of [Tyrannosaurus Rex Zak], nor does it have that strong dark aura."

Soreva nodded. Since the woman had said so, he took back the card and continued to ask her:

"And then what happened? Now the world is at peace, so Zack's plot to destroy the world should have been thwarted, right?"

"Yes."

The woman nodded and continued.
