Chapter 1 Crossing
"I've stacked the stars of [Magic Knight Lancelot] and [Holy Knight Hector de Maris]. Come forth, Oppa! Xyz Summon [Holy Knight King Atolis]!"
"Select the following equipment from the graveyard: [Holy Sword Galatin], [Holy Sword in the Stone], or [Holy Sword Clarent]"
"It's not over yet. Activate the [Holy Sword Breaking Steel Lake Sword] and [Holy Sword of Destiny] from your hand and equip them to Artorius."
"Next, remove one Xyz Material from [Holy Knight King Artoris], destroy a Set-position monster on your field, and experience the power of five holy swords! [Holy Knight King Artoris] attacks your opponent directly..."
"I activate the Trap Card [Intimidating Roar], you cannot declare an attack this turn."
"You're just clinging to life; your life is as fleeting as a candle in the wind."
Hearing his friend Wang Dazhuang's words, Di Xing's lips twitched involuntarily. What was with this feeling of déjà vu about this store?
And brother, you've been playing Yu-Gi-Oh! for almost 10 years now, don't you know that saying that is like saying you're going home to get married after this battle?
When Di Xing saw the card he had just drawn, he couldn't help but sigh that "a candle flickering in the wind" was truly a forbidden phrase in Yu-Gi-Oh! He looked at the person opposite him with a complicated expression.
Wang Dazhuang was one of his longest-time card-playing partners. Both were Souls-type players, and as everyone knows, Souls-type players are often a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). However, compared to Wang Dazhuang, Di Xing felt like a small fry compared to a big fish.
Since they were both Souls-type players, their decks were more for fun and they didn't dare to compete against competitive decks. They could only entertain themselves, but looking at their own cards and then at Wang Dazhuang's smug expression...
"I release [Holy Knight King Artoris] from your field and Special Summon [Turtle Kaiju Gamesis] from your field in Attack Position."
Seeing this, Da Zhuang's smug expression instantly froze, then crumbled. Didn't we agree to play a Soul-based deck? We agreed to stick together and play Soul-based decks to the end, but you secretly added a turtle.
"I'm playing a Gray-Blue deck, isn't it normal to include a Turtle?" What? You're saying the Turtle monster is an 8-star, useless against a Gray-Blue deck? Impossible, absolutely impossible. "Besides, you're not at a disadvantage; the Turtle Kaiju also has 2200 ATK, the same as your [Holy Knight King Atoris]."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dazhuang gritted his teeth, his fist hardening. Seeing Wang Dazhuang about to attack, Di Xing, anticipating a direct blow to Di Xing's face, turned and ran. But in that instant, a massive rift appeared before him, as if tearing through space and time. He tried to brake, but it was too late; the momentum carried him into the rift. Wang Dazhuang, watching from behind, was dumbfounded. "Holy crap, was that necessary? They even used a dimensional rift!"
On the other side, Di Xing, who had entered the crevice, looked up in bewilderment at his surroundings. All he saw was pitch blackness, with various debris piled up everywhere, resembling a giant mass grave.
But what surprised him most was the person lying on their back in front of him, barely breathing. He knew that face all too well; it was a face just like his own. The person was also looking at him with surprise, but quickly recovered, opening their cracked lips and struggling to murmur. Their voice was so weak that Di Xing couldn't hear it at all, but judging from the shape of their lips, they could tell that they were saying something...
"Avenge me!!!"
He tremblingly reached out his hand, and Di Xing instinctively grabbed it. But the instant he grasped it, the man's crimson eyes gradually lost their light, and he completely lost his life. Then, his body suddenly turned into specks of starlight, merging into Di Xing's body, and instantly a flood of memories poured into Di Xing's brain.
This place is Twilight Duron (the moving city atop the mountain), and the person who just died was also named Di Xing. The people of this world are born with star ratings, like game cards.
Durum Durin is divided into five levels. The top level is the Lord's Mansion, the second level is the Noble Level, the third level is the Commoner Level, the fourth level is the Outcast Level, and the fifth level is the Cemetery. The Lord of the Mountain City is a nine-star Lord. Seven and eight-star Lords are Nobles, five and six-star Lords are Commoners, and those below four-star Lords are Outcasts.
The height of the stars represents their strength and contribution to the city; those of lower-ranking stars are ruthlessly exploited and oppressed until they die, at which point they are thrown into the grave.
The deceased Di Xing was a lowly commoner who had toiled tirelessly since childhood, using his blood and tears to create value for the upper class. Exhausted and falling seriously ill, he was thrown into a cemetery while still alive. Therefore, he harbored hatred, filled with resentment towards those in power.
This overwhelming hatred also infected Di Xing, making him wish he could devour the flesh and bones of those in high positions. However, he quickly shook his head to suppress the overwhelming hatred in his mind. He needed to sort out his thoughts first. But just as he calmed down, a huge roar interrupted his thoughts.
A massive shredder was hurtling towards them from afar, mercilessly crushing the wreckage on the ground and sucking it into the vehicle. The searchlights in front of the vehicle seemed to have a life of their own, sweeping across the pile of debris, trying to capture any survivors.
Upon seeing this, Di Xing only had one thought in his mind: "Run!" But how could a human leg outrun a car? Soon, Di Xing was locked onto by the headlights. "Found you, you stinking rat!" A burly man smashed the roof of the car and revealed a rampant smile. He took out a simple wanted poster. "Haha, you're actually called Di Xing (low-star). You really live up to your name. You're a piece of trash. Just obediently let me crush you. Don't waste my time running around like this."
Di Xing hurriedly searched his memory. This guy was called Zhuang Sini, nicknamed Corpse Shredder. His job was to completely kill people who were sent to the cemetery but were not yet dead. Therefore, he had countless lives on his hands and was an unforgivable villain.
Johnny drove the wrecked car straight at Di Xing without stopping. Seeing this, Di Xing couldn't help but think, "Damn it! I just transmigrated and I'm already going to die? What kind of transmigrator is this miserable? Besides, what did I do to deserve this name, Di Xing? It's the name my mom painstakingly gave me. And besides, does the weak always have to die? Why?!"
This thought resonated strongly with a memory of another planet in his mind, and then many blue light particles flew out from his body, condensing into a card called "White Bone" in his hand.
I thought you were going to unleash your power, but instead you played the weakest level 1 Normal Monster, Skeleton. What's the point?!
Wait a minute, judging from what just happened, it seems that cards in this world can be directly materialized using energy. So, it seems that he has a card in his mind that can resolve this crisis.
With the shredder about to crush him, Di Xing had no choice but to desperately try anything, frantically imagining the name of the card in his mind. Then, countless blue lights from across the graveyard converged into his hand. A spell card slowly appeared—[Three White Bones Zone]!
