1 - You Gotta Be Kidding Me

I wake from what I could only hope was a dream.

Opening my eyes, I see that I am lying on a comfortable bed inside an unfamiliar room. 

'Yup. It really happened.' I think with a sigh as I remember the strange white room I had found myself in after I had a tumble from my mountain bike off a 60-foot cliff. 

***

"Where...am I?" 

Nothing and no one answered my question. I looked in all directions, but the only thing I saw was a white floor and a white sky as far as the eye could see. It was strange. It caused me to feel claustrophobic and messed with my perception as I could not make out any lines in the white world around me. I could be in a vast open space or wrapped in a white bubble and I would not have been able to tell the difference. 

Just when panic started setting in, a black translucent box with golden edges and Egyptian hieroglyphs popped up in front of me. 

Hey Josh, Dad here! =D

If you are seeing this, then it must have worked! Listen...I kinda fucked up. hahaha...

So, remember that trip I made to Egypt and never returned from?

Well, me and the boys got SUPER waisted and snuck into some old sealed Egyptian temple. I know, I know - Not my best idea...

Anyway, a lot of crazy shit happened and, long story short, I'm trapped in the Shadow Realm.

Yeah. Like that old Yu-Gi-Oh! show you used to watch. Turns out that shit was real! Who knew? hahaha

Anyway, if you could free me, then I think I have an artifact that can send us both home. 

Good luck!

~ Love and Kisses,

Dad

I stared at the screen. My brain fried and I had to reread it about 20 times. 

'He's...alive?' I think in shock.

My dad had disappeared in Egypt 13 years ago and we were never able to find out where he went. Mom remarried and, honestly, things have been much better since his drunken escapades stopped putting our family in the news. I always missed him, however, and I even visited Egypt once in a vain attempt of finding him.

'Even when he's gone, he drags me into shit...' I finally sigh after processing the information on the screen. 

Then I start to freak out. 

"Of all the worlds to be sent to...WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YU-GI-OH!" I scream at the injustice of the world. 

Don't get me wrong, I loved Yu-Gi-Oh!...when I was 10! Sure, there is some nostalgia, but mostly the show was full of things that made absolutely no sense. The idea that I am going to a world that might have a megalomaniac like Pegasus or the "Rich Young Master To End All Rich Young Masters" in Seto Kaiba gave me chills. 

'I don't even know WHEN I am being sent. If this is after the first few seasons, I am fucked.'

When GX started, I stopped caring. It would seem that may have been a mistake...

Before I had a chance to really get into how absolutely screwed and depressed I was, another popup appeared. 

Please Choose Your Starting Deck:

Starter Deck: Yugi or Starter Deck: Kaiba

'Phew.' I exhaled a sigh of relief. At least I knew these cards. In fact, it seemed I was starting from the very beginning. I could get behind that.

Now, the question was, is this the anime world or just a world that uses Yu-Gi-Oh! cards to solve problems? 

The answer to this was quite simple, however, as my dad said he was stuck in the Shadow Realm, meaning the story should be as it was in the Anime. The problem was...

"How the hell do I save him from the Shadow Realm?" I mused aloud. 

Not A Valid Choice.

Please Choose Your Starting Deck:

Starter Deck: Yugi | Starter Deck: Kaiba

Wow...pushy much? Fine. Let's think this through.

Luckily when I imagined clicking on a pack, I was given a list of the cards I would receive and a chance to read through my options before picking. 

Looking through the lists, I was faced with an easy choice. The fact of the matter is, if I own a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Kaiba is gonna hunt me down. That was the first major arc of the story, after all. Also, even though Starter Deck: Kaiba has some good cards, Starter Deck: Yugi has some stupidly broken cards. 

That being said, if I had a stronger monster and trap deck, couldn't I just wipe the floor with Kaiba? It's not like he would get physically violent with me over it or have me killed, right? Surely, I could make a name for myself as the "Other Owner Of Blue-Eyes" and even hurt his reputation with it. The Kaiba deck had some equally broken cards...hmm...

Better go with ______.

After making that decision, another box popped up in front of me.

Please Choose 10 Booster Packs:

Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon | Metal Raiders | Spell Ruler

This time, I had to go in blind. I had no idea what was in these and mentally clicking on them didn't give me any information.

'I guess...I guess I will have to pray to the luck Gods.' 

I take a shuddering breath and make my picks. ______________

As soon as my choice was made, a final box popped up.

Before I had a second to work through all the information I just learned, my mind ceased functioning and darkness enveloped me.

So here I am. In bed. In a new life. In Yu-Gi-Oh! 

"What did I ever do to deserve this?" I ask no one in particular piteously.
