It was the morning of preparation day 1. And I have some things I need to do today. Mainly, a dungeon visit. I promised I would get a magic fanny pack for Alice, Lua and Alex. Well, Alex and Lua promised to pay for theirs. Alex was keeping the large backpack version he carried as a part of Diamond Sword and Lua had inherited the one carried by Rico. They were team assets, but Zay gave up on them, so he could keep the house without having to buy out Alex and Lua.
But before I do that, I’ll quickly pull open my packs for the day. And it will be all LoBY today. And DB1 for the reprints.

… No Monster Reborn. Actually, the only super rare I got was Curse of Dragon. And I already had two of them from DB1. Well, at least having two new Pots is nice. That will be four more chances.
(Laura, two toploaders, please.)
(Coming right up.) She responded.
3x Hitotsu-Me Giant, 2x Basic Insect, 4x Mammoth Graveyard, 3x Trial of Nightmare, 4x Nemuriko, 4x Turtle Tiger, 4x Petit Dragon (still has one left for Darkfire Dragon), 2x Petit Angel, 2x Kagemusha of the Blue Flame, 3x Two-Mouth Darkruler, 4x Ray & Temperature, 2x King Fog, 3x Mystical Sheep #2, 4x Witty Phantom, 3x Larvas, 3x Kumootoko
(50 sacrifices. Do you approve, Master?) Laura asked.
I quickly checked the list. All of them are LoBY commons.
(Yeah, looks good to me. Thanks.)
I got out the two toploader copies of Pot of Greed and activated them.
| Would you like to consume 1 ‘toploader’ ‘Pot of Greed’ to increase your daily pack tokens by 2? |
| [Yes] [NO] |
| Daily pack token number increased by 2. Total is now 16 |
| Would you like to consume 1 ‘toploader’ ‘Pot of Greed’ to increase your daily pack tokens by 2? |
| [Yes] [NO] |
| Daily pack token number increased by 2. Total is now 18 |
I activated them one after the other, and they disappeared from my hand.
Now, four more packs to go.
nro_8 So, I’ve gotten enough comments about the Pot of Greed (and Jar of Greed) situation that I will finally talk about it right here. When Brian lets his skill consume the toploader Pot of Greed, it disappears, just like a single-use card. This is just because using a Pot of Greed daily (by having a toploader on it) is the same as getting +2 daily tokens. It’s nothing but a shortcut for me, so I don’t have to mention the Pot of Greeds every day before Brian opens up his packs.
So again, in short. If the Pot of Greed is consumed by the skill, Brian loses it permanently, but gains +2 daily tokens. If he doesn’t let it be consumed, he gains +2 pack tokens and the card goes on 24 hour cooldown just like any other spell with a toploader.

Raigeki is nice. It should be much more usable than Dark Hole. Throwing around lightning that can kill everything is going to be nice. I’ll make a toploader for it and test it out later today.
But I still have the reprint tokens, so let’s use them as well.

Dark Beginning 1 is nice. So many different cards to get. Like Spellbinding Circle. I might need a toploader for that. It can hold an A-rank monster at bay, so it is super useful.
And I also got Sanga of the Thunder. The last piece I needed for Gate Guardian. I’ll need to look into getting a toploader for each piece and Gate Guardian itself. A great monster to go with Master of Oz, if I ever have to fight something that is huge in size.
Now then. Only two more things to do. Activate Upstart Goblin and Emblem of Dragon Destroyer. I never did end up activating emblem yesterday, as I thought it would be better to have it on the same cooldown as Upstart. And I didn’t need a Buster Blader that badly.
I got two small silvers and three large silvers from today's Upstart. Making up (or down) for the five gold I got yesterday. And 1 Buster Blader from Emblem, but that is guaranteed.
During breakfast, I had Laura go through my collection again and choose more cards to sack for sleeves. I was going to visit the dungeon today and I’m not planning on walking there, so I need a sleeve for Gradius.
2x Zombyra the Dark, 2x Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1, Whiptail Crow, 3x Vile Germs, 4x Violet Crystal, 3x Vampiric Orchis, 2x Uraby, 2x United Resistance, 2x Union Rider, 2x Umi, 5x Type Zero Magic Crusher, Tyhone, Tyhone #2, 3x Tripwire Beast, 3x Torpedo Fish, 3x The Reliable Guardian, The Regulation of Tribe, 3x The Little Swordsman of Aile, 3x The Immortal of Thunder, 2x The Emperor's Holiday, 2x The Earl of Demise, 4x The Cheerful Coffin, 2x The Bistro Butcher, 2x The All-Seeing White Tiger, 2x Supply, 2 Succubus Knight, 2x Stop Defense, 4x Spirit of the Harp, 4x Soul Release (still has the one copy he put a toploader on in ch.99), 4x Sogen, 4x Skull Servant, 2x Skull Red Bird, 4x Silver Bow and Arrow, 5x Raise Body Heat, 2x Peacock, 4x Mountain, 3x Hysteric Fairy
100 sacrifices this time. With the 50 earlier today, that is 150 just today. Well, at least that should cover everything I want to do today.
“You know you have your own preparations to do, so no.” I told Alice. As usual, she was trying to come with me.
“But…” She tried to argue.
“Alice. If you don’t prepare, you will stay here. That is not up for debate.” I told her.
“…” She realized what that meant and kept quiet.
“Good. Now be a good girl and go get your things ready. I’ll go get the magic bags from the dungeon alone.” I told her.
“Come on Alice. Let’s go.” Jenna said as she pulled Alice along. I really hope taking her isn’t a mistake. Well, if today’s monster test is successful, I’ll be able to bring her back if she is too problematic.
I put a sleeve and toploader on my monster, before installing Cyclon Laser onto it. I also added one 7 Completed to increase its defense, and that resulted in a blue 7 being painted onto the left side of the cockpit. And because I have 4 copies of it, I also added one Machine Conversion Factory, to improve all its capabilities.
I had gotten permission from Christina to use their backyard as a landing and takeoff site, so I was now ready to summon the monster. I do have to be careful, so I don’t shatter any windows, but that should be doable.
“Gradius.” I called out my monster. Jet fighter. Starfighter. Whatever you want to call it.
A card appeared and from it, rose my spaceship.
“Wow. It’s larger than I expected.” I said to myself.
Gradius was almost 20 meters long. That’s way larger than I was expecting. I thought it would only be about half of that. Well, at least it fit into the backyard.
Gradius had a two person cockpit. Driver and gunner. And with Cyclon Laser, the gunner had access to some decent fire power.
I got into the cockpit and took off with Gradius. I made sure to do it slowly, as to not shatter any windows, but I’ll only find out if it worked when I return. Luckily Gradius is a spaceship, so it has some advanced technology and it doesn’t cause much wind around itself.
“... Laura, where are we?” I asked as I was looking around. I could only see trees everywhere.
After takeoff, I had accelerated to a high speed with Gradius, but I might have overdone it a little. But then again, I barely felt the acceleration, so…
Well, it’s still my fault.
(Somewhere over the forest that contains your dungeon, Master.) Laura said.
(... Does that mean we are lost?) I asked.
(No. Just transfer control over to me and I can take us to the dungeon.) She said.
(... Laura. I love you. Please. Get me back to somewhere I recognize.) I said.
I didn’t know it at the time, but my little acceleration had resulted in a speed of over Mach 10, and I had flown almost halfway across the largest forest on this continent.
It only took a few minutes for Laura to fly us back to an area where I could actually see civilization.
“I think I need a map for this thing.” I said as Laura was setting the spaceship down in the clearing in front of the dungeon entrance.
(I can make one for you, if you would like. But it will only have area’s you have visited.) Laura said.
(Thanks. That might help. But if it is only areas I have visited, perhaps I should just let you fly around with Gradius at top speed to draw out the map.) I said.
(We can, but it will lack detail.) Laura said.
(That might still be better than nothing.)
(If we can acquire knowledge from a locally made map, I could use it. It might also be more detailed than something I make on the fly.) Laura said. When did she learn to play with words like that? Is that a sign of her getting closer to her next evolution? Or would it be a rank-up?
— rank-up? Could I rank Laura up with a Rank-Up-Magic? Well, I don’t have one and probably won’t have one for a long time.
In the dungeon I had two objectives. Get the items I came for and clear it for the points. And if I’m going to clear it, I need a monster for that. Luckily, I got something I want to summon.
I put a toploader on both the monster and the spell I needed to summon it.
“I activate Black Luster Ritual. I sacrifice two Beaver Warriors to ritual summon Black Luster Soldier.” I said to perform the summon.
I used two Beaver Warriors, as I had them handy. And they are LoBY cards, so I’ll get more. And I still have one left.
“Master. You have summoned me. What can I do for you?” He asked.
Black Luster Soldier was wearing full armor made of a black metal, with gold highlights. God, that armor is good looking. I should totally analyze it and make some for myself. … but at a later date.
“I’m going through the dungeon and I need you to kill all the monsters. Can you do it alone, or do you need help?”
“I can easily take care of that, Master.” Black Luster Soldier answered, seeming almost annoyed that I even doubted him.
“Good. Let’s go then.” I said as we got a move on.
Our trip through the dungeon went about as easily as it could have. Black Luster Soldier cut every monster in just one slash. Even the skeletal saber tiger that was the current final boss.
I did actually end up summoning a second monster, but not because I thought he needed help. This one was just to perform another fusion summon. I fused Silver Fang and Darkworld Thorns to summon Flower Wolf.
The wolf was a little disappointed that it had nothing to do, so I ended up riding it. Riding a wolf isn’t half bad actually.
“Thanks, you two. You can go now.” I said as I unsummoned my two monsters. I don’t need them for the return trip, as I’ll be taking the shortcut. I never did test it after all.
Now for the items.
First, the three magic fanny packs.
Then, I made myself some extra clothing. The ones I came to this world with don’t actually get dirty, basically no matter what, but I still wanted some. And they aren’t that expensive.
I made myself five sets of underwear and socks. Three t-shirts, two pairs of pants and one extra hoodie. If I don’t need them, I can always sell them.
With everything here taken care of, I returned back to Alewatch.
I didn’t actually fly Gradius all the way to the backyard this time. It did work out when I took off (hopefully), but I’ll just land in the plains somewhere away from people and take Overdrive from there. Much better for everyone.
I didn’t have anything else on today’s agenda, so I was able to relax for the rest of the day.
nro_8 So, I changed how the cards are written. Last time I had the text under the picture, this time I had it above. I think this is better, but feel free to give me feedback.
It was the morning of preparation day 1. And I have some things I need to do today. Mainly, a dungeon visit. I promised I would get a magic fanny pack for Alice, Lua and Alex.

I didn’t actually fly Gradius all the way to the backyard this time. It did work out when I took off (hopefully), but I’ll just land in the plains somewhere away from people and take Overdrive from there. Much better for everyone.
I didn’t have anything else on today’s agenda, so I was able to relax for the rest of the day.
nro_8 So, I changed how the cards are written. Last time I had the text under the picture, this time I had it above. I think this is better, but feel free to give me feedback.
