YUGIOH: It's Time to Duel!

Chapter 1: What is this!?



[???? POV]

I stood before the mirror and stared at my reflection in a daze. Staring straight back at me was a young woman with aquamarine eyes. She has a truly beautiful appearance.

I pinched my cheek and pulled as the woman in the mirror did the same. Eventually, I let go and groaned as my face became slightly swollen with redness, contrasting with my soft porcelain skin.

I sighed and fiddled with the light blue hair that ran down my shoulders, reaching my waist. Finally, I glanced down at my chest, where there were two large melons that made my shoulders stiff.

I poked the melons and they made a strange bouncy noise: "This isn't happening..." I muttered, and a soft, charming voice left my throat.

[A/N: MC's appearance is based on Esdeath.]

I threw myself onto the bed in the corner of the room and buried my face in the pillows. I screamed and kicked the bed in frustration. After ten minutes of yelling and rolling around, I sat up with a tired expression and observed myself in the mirror.

'Even with messy hair, I looked good....'

Now you may be wondering, who am I and why I'm currently having an identity crisis as we speak. In the simplest way possible to say it, I've died...

If I said this to a stranger on the streets, I would probably be considered an insane person and be locked away in an asylum. However, despite this absurd claim, I knew I'd died since this wasn't my original body and a body I woke up in.

My past name was Aki Kudo, and I used to be an ordinary Japanese girl. Well, normal wouldn't be the correct word to describe me as a nerd. I never had any friends and people will always avoid me due to my gloomy atmosphere.

Dark silky hair that covered my face, I walked with my head lowered and was shunned. Naturally, being ignored everywhere made my self-esteem extremely low and my social level was so horrible that I would be too nervous to even talk to anyone in the first place. Thankfully, even with all these downsides, there was something that made my life enjoyable. Yugioh, A Game of Dueling Monsters.

I love the card game and would spend my entire time dedicated to this game. Chatting on forums, buying cards left and right, building my own deck, and of course, dueling in tournaments!

When I duel, I don't have to worry about my social anxiety. It's a game where anyone was accepted, and nobody will question your identity, as long you have cards, you can duel!

Now, onto my death, I died in a foolish way. One night, I spent so much time browsing through the Yugioh Forum and tripped on the stairs. The next thing I knew, I woke up here, in a new world and a new body.

I know that you're confused about what I mean by a different world, but I'm not lying to you. I really transmigrated into a different world and what specific universe I'm talking about?

I sat up and unveiled the curtains beside the bed.

"I summon Vorse Raider in attack position, and I will attack your Feral Imp!"

"No, not my Feral Imp!"

The child whined as he dropped his cards in defeat. Yep, I have been sent to the Yugioh world.

I smiled wryly and watched two children below my apartment before collapsing back onto my bed: "I still couldn't believe it, I'm in the Yugioh Universe..."

I chuckled in disbelief. I always imagined what would happen if those isekai troupes happened to me in real life. Now that it really happened, I don't know what I should do...

No, what am I saying? Since I'm in Yugioh, it's normal for me to duel, right?

The more I thought about it, the more excited I have become. It really sounded amazing, and I sprang onto my two feet with newfound confidence: "Alright! I will become one of the best duelists in the world!" I shouted.

Thankfully, there was no one else in my home, or else I would really die of embarrassment. Now that I've set my goals, I first need to gather some information.

The name of this current body was called Yuna Sano, and she's a student at Domino High School. Already knowing this much got me excited to the point that I'm dancing with joy. Domino High School! That's where all the main crew was from!

However, from what I could gather, I don't have any relationship with the characters, so despite how pretty I was, I'm still an extra. Well, it's okay, not that I really care.

Besides my school life, I live alone in this tiny apartment. Yuna's parents supposedly passed away when she was young, so I'm living off of their inheritance. Thankfully, there's still a lot of money left, so I should be fine for a while.

With my situation sorted, I need to plan my next move. Well, the first step as a duelist was I need a deck, right? Yuna doesn't seem to own anything related to dueling monsters, so I have to build one from scratch. However, with the current timeline in Yugioh, it may be difficult.

Huh, what was that? My eyes darted around the room when I heard a mechanical voice.

Suddenly, a bright blue screen appeared before me. I was startled and hurriedly jumped back, but the display seemed to follow me: "Is this one of those godly systems in those cliches??" I

wondered.

I nervously reached out and waved my hand. My fingers fazed through the digitized panel, confirming my suspicion. Accepting this fact, I took a deep breath and calmly observed the

screen:

[Name: Yuna Sano

Title: Rookie Duelist

Credit: 0

Task (1)

Inventory (1)

Shop]

The system seemed more straightforward than I expected. I hovered over the shop button and pressed it. The display shifted, and hundreds of cards were listed in front of my very eyes, sorted by their rank from common to ultra rare. My pupils shone with excitement, and I vigorously scrolled through the list of cards.

[A/N: They're ranked like how master duel ranks them.]

The shop also sells things like booster packs and structure decks that make things very alluring. However, apparently, all these items could only be purchased with something called credits, and I noticed that my current credit count was zero.

Some cards also cost way too much that I don't even think it's worth it. Well, at least it's there for me to gawk at. I sighed with a heavy heart and exited the shop. Then I pressed the task function, and the display changed once more.

[Task (1)

Make yourself known!

Start your duelling career by first making a name for yourself!

Reward: Five Hundred Credits]

Five hundred credits? I grapsed my chin deep in thought. From what I've seen previously, that much should at least get me some common or one rare card. However, the task description was highly vague. Can I do anything as long I could be famous as a duelist?

I hummed and finally went to the inventory section. My eyes widened in surprise, and saw the

item waiting for me.

[Duelist starter pack:

1x Starter Deck

1x Ultra Rare Ticket

1 x Card Box]

YES! At least I get something!

I hurriedly pressed the duelist starter pack, and I heard the sound of a bell ringing inside my

head. I felt something fall onto my lamp, and when I glanced down, it was a small box. I opened the box, and inside was a small deck of Yugioh cards and beneath was a ticket in rainbow colours with the letters UR printed in the middle.

I skimmed through the deck with anticipation, but my face quickly turned into despair: "What

the hell is this!" I yelled angrily and tossed the pile of cards across the room.

I collapsed on the ground: "How the heck I'm going to duel with these?"

"Aligator Sword"

"Armail?"

"and Armoured Zombie?"

"What are these garbage?!" I screamed: "I don't even get a single effect monster?"

Even with spell and trap cards, they were mediocre at best with things such as Reinforcement, Wakobu, and Sparks. At least among the pile of trash, there was a Monster Reborn, which I'm

at least happy with.

Calm down, Yuna. Maybe you think of these as rubbish, but it's arguably good in this day and age where Link, XYZ, and Synchro don't exist yet, right?

Who am I kidding?

I sighed and stared at the floor in a daze. Remembering the Ultra Rare ticket on the bed, I reached for it and frowned. On the ticket, it explained that I should tear it and it gifted me a random Ultra Rare card.

I sighed; even with an Ultra Rare, there were still chances that I would get something useless. Well, what's there to lose? I tore the ticket with a heavy heart, and the card I got was...
