Both Grim Kid, with a Power of 2 and Grim Rider, with the Power of 5 were preparing to attack and end the game.
Then the figure began laughing. “I would attack, if it was not the first turn. In the first turn there is no Battle Step. I’ll end my turn. Now it’s your turn.”
“N-Now, it’s my turn.” He repeated, sounding unsure. “Okay, first it is the Draw Step, I draw.” He drew a card from his deck.
“Yes, good!”
The man looked at the card. It was a picture of a robot girl standing in front of a rocket speeding towards her. The man felt a headache, his face twisted in pain and flashes of a girl, in the same position of the robot girl in the card artwork came to mind but instead of a rocket, he saw a truck coming at her.
“Are you okay?”
He looked at the skeleton man. “Yes… no… I’m not sure.” He said. Adding the card he had drawn, “Dangerous Oncoming,” to his hand. “I think I had a… a vision.”
“Ah, that is normal. That deck is a part of you.” He said. “I’ve seen people get visions of their own deaths by simply drawing from it.”
He nodded. “Alright, Reset Step, nothing happens.”
“Yes.”
“Play Step, I’ll take 2 Sacred Treasures from the Treasure Pile and summon Unknown Scholar.” He placed the card on the mat in front of him.
Tiny balls of white and blue lights began sparkling into existence. They flowed and coalesced and burst, revealing an ethereal being made of energy with while balls for light. The only thing that was corporeal was the graduation clothing it wore and the rolled up diploma it held.
The man groaned. Clutching his chest, he looked at the boatman in confusion. “What’s going on, what is… this feeling?”
“That is burden of the Sacred Treasure. The more treasure you take the more intense the feeling becomes. It is a burden that will wear on your very soul and may even tear it apart if you take more than you can handle.”
Stolen story; please report.
“D-Do you also get the feeling.”
“Of course.”
He took a deep breath and continued. “Fine, my scholar has 5 Power and your Grim Kid has 2 Power.”
“Yes, you could attack and destroy him but remember, he is under the protection of Red Area Zone.”
“And your Grim Rider has the same Power at 5.”
“Yes. If two Unit Creatures of the same Power battle. They are both destroyed and none of us take damage.”
“Okay. Then I play, Lost Sword. It has a cost of one Aura!” One of the Treasure Token changes to blue and empowers the card.”
The Unknown Scholar’s diploma gets replaced with an old rusted sword.
“This increases Unknown Scholar’s power to 7.” He said. “Now I move to the Battle Step. Unknown Scholar attack!”
Unknown Scholar vanishes in an explosion of light. It reappears behind Grim Rider and cuts him in half. The Unit explodes before the Unknown Scholar floats back to his side.

The man looked at the points in surprise. “What’s going on? There are 6 Treasure Tokens, you should take 6 damage, not 2!”
“We only count the treasure tokens as damage on a direct attack. If you’re attacking a monster, than whatever treasure you have becomes the damage value that is counted.” The ferryman said with a sinister smile. “But this is good. Its proof you know how to play the game and I do not need to hold back. With that, it is now my turn!”
