***

The coated card was pulled out as if it were sticking to the hand. A familiar and comfortable feeling that fits perfectly in your hand.

I could guess how much the owner of the body dealt the cards.

Kang In-ho counted the number of cards in his hand.

A total of 4 sheets.

Two orange cards, and one each pink and blue card.

“Are you wasting time? Even so, you haven’t forgotten that it’s you who suffers the loss, right? Because the game of death erodes the mental strength of the participants!”

A woman with as cold an expression as blue hair shouted.

Kang In-ho was annoyed by that muttering voice.

‘It’s noisy.’

“Kang In-ho! You can do it!”

“There is no way the duelist I recognized could be defeated!”

“Prevent the destruction of the world!”

And the onlookers surrounding him and her. Perhaps the space was divided by a translucent membrane, but people were vaguely visible.

Cartoon movies that I watched on TV when I was young and information that I saw in passing on Internet communities begin to assemble in my head.

As the blocks named information came together, he got a rough idea of what kind of world this was.

Putting aside the question, “Who is the dimension management god who created this absurd world?”, he focused on the four cards in his hand.

In terms of flow, a duel is an unavoidable situation. If it’s the ‘game’ you’re thinking of, you can progress to some extent.

And look at the field.

Your own empty field, your opponent’s field with two monsters and one face-down card.

What about life?

You have 100 life, your opponent has 5500 life.

A complete inferiority.

“Duels were always your priority. He never looked at me, his childhood friend, properly.”

The woman in front of me shouted to Kang In-ho with glaring eyes, wondering what was so sad.

Her long blue hair swayed.

“Dual, dual, dual!! Yes, you are crazy about dueling. Duel is the problem. So… if I create a world without duels, wouldn’t you take care of me?”

She said, holding the crumpled card.

“A world without duels…”

“Such terrible…!”

‘Do the damn things.’

Sounds coming from onlookers outside. Kang In-ho was shocked.

“So I signed a contract. The ‘existence that deserves to be forgotten’ that has been sealed in a card for a long time.”

She fiddled with the deck.

“What is your name?”

Kang In-ho spoke to her for the first time.

“Hehe… Do you want to know? It was sealed right away…”

“No, not that name. What is your name?”

At Kang In-ho’s words, veins appeared on the woman’s forehead.

His remarks must have been so shocking that everyone in the room said nothing.

As if they had touched something that shouldn’t be touched, they watched the woman’s next move closely.

Gulp, I could almost hear the sound of someone swallowing nervously.

“Ha… Ha… Ha….”

She mechanically let out a dry laugh.

“You’re kidding, right? yes? Inho… are you just trying to shake my composure?”

As if she couldn’t believe it, the woman asked again. But Kang In-ho did not answer.

“I’m Bloni! Blonny! It’s your childhood friend!!!”

A black energy surged from a woman named Bloney. The strong wind created by the tangible energy lifted Kang In-ho’s forehead.

While Bloney was growling, Kang In-ho succeeded in storing the information on the card in his hand in his head.

‘I’ll just go with this for now.’

Place one orange card on the duel disk.

“Summon [Angry Pia-chan].”

A card that has no special summoning conditions and can be summoned normally.

But there is no response.

“Huh?”

He looked back and forth between the machine and the field.

Look again at the text on the card. There are no particular restrictions on summoning.

But why…

While Inho was scratching his head as if he had no idea what was going on, the sounds of people outside the curtain were heard.

“Inho’s mental strength…”

“Wrong. You’re not ‘immersed’ at all…”

“I recovered my life with the [Knight Revival] card… but my mental strength was already at its lowest.”

” Damn it, In-ho, who is more serious about the card than anyone else, can’t ‘immerse’…”

“Immersion…?”

Kang In-ho found the worry and pity of strangers to be absurd.

But I still felt like I knew the cause.

“Fuck it… It’s really like this… When I get to this age…”

He muttered, as if he really didn’t want to do it.

He picked up the card placed on the duel disk with his index and middle fingers.

“Phew….”

He let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.

He shouted, reaching forward with his hands.

“Break through the crisis, the leader of my deck! Normal summon [Angry Pia-chan]!”

As I placed the card on the duel disk along with a chant, a yellow-haired woman was summoned to the field.

When a woman with a lively appearance appeared, Bloney gritted her teeth as she looked at her.

“I don’t like it! That yellow haired girl! Both the appearance and the name!”

“The effect of [Angry Pia-chan] is activated. If you have [Running Nobel-chan] in your hand, you can Special Summon that card. Now, come out. [Nobel-chan running at a high speed].”

A purple-haired woman is summoned to the field.

“And another woman…”

Bloney was crushed and gritted his teeth.

“Their attack power is 1000. Unfortunately, they won’t be able to attack. I will cover up one card and end my turn.”

Bloney shouted as if he had been waiting for Inho’s declaration.

“I’ll get rid of those two ugly bitches right away!”

When Bloney stretched out his hand, a monster in the shape of a giant eel roared.

“You probably forgot the effect of [Deep Sea Monster Leviathan], right? Once per turn, you can destroy all monsters other than this card!”

When the roar ended, a huge wave rose, as if it would swallow Kang In-ho. It was a tsunami.

“This is the end for your beloved Nobel and Pia. Disappear!”

Bloney’s voice contained thick hatred.

The shadow created by the tsunami fell on In-ho and his field.

“Activate the hidden card [Moon leading the wild].”

When Inho stretched out his hand, the card that had been covered was opened.

Darkness fell over the field, and the full moon rose.

“Why did you suddenly use that card…?”

A simple card that increases the attack power of monsters on the field. It was not a card that would appear in a situation where monsters on the field were destroyed.

As if to answer Bloney’s question, Kang In-ho posed by covering his face with his palm.

“The tidal wave of [Deep Sea Monster Leviathan] destroys monsters on the field. But, that tsunami won’t come.”

“Hidden effect of [Moon leading the wild]. The moon’s universal gravitational force catches the tsunami.”

A huge wall of water that was about to fall on the field began to be sucked in by the moon rising in the sky.

“That’s right! How is something like that possible!”

“This is the dual of ‘immersion’.”

Kang In-ho smiled, twisting his lips.
