Chapter One - World Announcement

The sound of clicking seemed to dance as his fingers moved smoothly across the keyboard. His right hand held the mouse as it dashed in different directions. His eyes were focused on the screen, not even noticing the beads of sweat on his forehead.

The sweat slowly crawled down his forehead until it reached his eye. He felt a burning sensation in his left eye causing his left hand to come up and rub it.

‘Fuck!’ He cursed as he saw his character get stunned.

His life bar was at half but the other guy only had 10% left. He knew it was over as his character failed to dodge the [Fear] status.

A loud bang echoed in the room as his hand slammed against his computer desk.

He could only watched as his toon was perma-stunned. His hp slowly trickling away.

[You have died.]

[World Announcement - Player Yuu-Mi has been slain by Drago.]

The announcement was repeated three times as the world chat blew up with various comments. Some cheered others were disgusted they bet on the wrong person.

Yuu-Mi the undefeated, the conqueror has finally lost to a challenger. For the first time ever he has failed to survive.

[World Announcement - Player Yuu-Mi has accepted the terms to be deleted. Yuu-Mi has left the realm of Shadows.]

A single tear came down Yuu-Mi’s face as he could not decide to laugh or cry. He was glad he finally died, but upset that it was caused by his own doing.

His computer screen went black, but so did his vision.

His upper body dropped down while his face hit the desk.

‘Wait, what?’ Yuu-Mi questioned himself as he could not figure out what was going on. One moment he his character was deleted and now he was seeing darkness? That did not make any sense to him.

What seemed like eternity to him was actually only five minutes. His vision returned and he found himself lying in bed.

As his eyes adjusted to the light, Yuu-Mi noticed that this was not his bed. It was not even his room!

He had a king sized bed with a game of throne comforter set. This was a twin sized bed with a plain cover. There was a bed above his, two desk that held papers and a laptop. Finally he saw a cabinet that was open with clothing just thrown around.

The room was small, not even a quarter the size of his own room.

Yuu-Mi leaned up but suddenly he was attacked by a painful throbbing in his head.

‘Fuck!’ He thought to himself.

‘Where am I? What is going on?’

While he endured the pain and walked over to a desk, he noticed his name was written on one of the papers. It seemed to be a science paper, that was not even completed.

‘Why… no this is definitely a dream.’ Yuu-Mi thought to himself as he pinched himself trying to wake up.

“Ouch!” He screamed as he felt the pain and rubbed his cheek.

The room door opened up as a young man walked in with a towel in his white hands. His upper body was bare revealing his well-developed muscles. His hair dripping wet as water fell to the ground, and his black eyes contained much surprised when he saw Yuu-Mi.

“Hey man, didn’t think you’d be awake already. How you feeling?” He asked Yuu-Mi as he walked over to the cabinet and grabbed a black shirt.

“My head is in pain, I can’t even remember what happened last night.” Yuu-Mi told him the truth. He really couldn’t remember what happened to him last night, because he was never here in this room in the first place!

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Yuu-Mi was hoping to gain a little information from this guy before him.

Hearing what Yuu-Mi asked the male started laughing.

“Figured as much Yuu. You should not have taken 10 shots last night man. I knew after that you were done-zo. I had to drag you up here to room all by myself, Ben and Carter were not much help either.” He paused as he pointed to a bookbag on a wooden chair.

“Pass me that will you bud?” He asked Yuu-Mi.

Yuu-Mi grabbed the velvet colored bookbag and tossed it.

“Thanks man. Drink some water and sober up, Ben should be coming back soon. Don’t worry about class, I told the teach you were sick. So if she ask, you were sick.”

The young man started walking towards the door but suddenly stopped and smiled at Yuu-Mi.

“Right, Jade was totally eyeing you last night and she even asked about you today. I’d say give her a call if you know what I mean.”

Saying that, the young man left out of the room.

‘Who the hell is Jade?’ Yuu-Mi asked himself.

He did not really care. He was a lone wolf who took the gaming world by storm. Even if this was a different world, or some weird ass illusion that was caused by him losing his character he did not care anymore. Might as well go with the flow and live life as this Yuu-Mi.

He looked at the laptop on the desk and checked it out. The specs on this thing were terrible, he could never be seen in public with this ancient machine.

He would be surprised if he could even gain 2 fps by playing one of the lower end games. Best he could do is lag his way to the top.

Yuu-Mi set the crappy laptop back down and sighed. His hope of gaming again went down the toilet.

The throbbing sensation came back again as Yuu-Mi grabbed his head.

He could not endure this pain any longer. Walking out of the room he was already in front of the kitchen. No one would keep medications in the kitchen, his first choice was to check the bathroom.

The bathroom door was already open. He walked in and went through the cabinets until he found a bottle of Advil. Opening it up, he grabbed two and threw them into his mouth.

Running the water from the sink, he cupped his hands and put them under the water. After he drank it quickly as he swallowed the two pills at once.

[Announcement Humans. Your daily lives are too boring that we can no longer watch. Therefore we will play a little game to entertain ourselves as well as you guys. Don’t worry, anyone and everyone is able to play.]

[The rules are simple, survive through ten days. Everyday is something different, but with everyday you survive the threat to your life increases.]

[Game begins in five minutes, I suggest you get indoors.]

[Oh, this is not God. He went away on vacation, neighborhood villain taking over for ten days. Pity we can’t hang out any longer.]

Yuu-Mi was left with his jaw wide open. He looked at the bottle of Advil once again to make sure this was not something else. He must have been drugged!

However, no matter how he looked at it the pills were normal from what he remembers.

He calmed himself down and sat on the toilet.

“Yuu! Tell me you heard it too and i’m not going crazy!” A voice yelled out as they ran into the room.

“Yuu? Where are you man.” The voice asked.

“Taking a shit, what do you want?” Yuu-Mi replied from the bathroom.

A figure rushed towards the bathroom and opened up the door. His sandy brown hair and hazel eyes were the first thing Yuu-Mi noticed as he poked his head through.

“Bro, privacy?” Yuu-Mi said as he glared at the guy.

“Who cares? We fuck the same girls, we drink from the same pot. Just tell me you heard that voice as well and i’m not going crazy.” The young man said.

Yuu-Mi thought back about the voice he just heard a moment ago. He was planning on ignoring it but turns out someone else heard it as well. Should he tell him he did or lie?

He opted to tell the truth.

“Yeah, I heard it. Sounds like a joke, don’t fall for it.” Yuu-Mi replied.

[World Announcement - Day One of the Apocalypse is now starting. Due to your inferior abilities you may draw or roll for one random class. Hopefully you get something useful or else… hehehe]

[Ding! You’ve Gained roulette wheel.]

[Roulette wheel - Spin to gain a random class.]

The wheel showed Yuu-Mi a list of classes, by each class name was a percent. Everyone of them said seven, so it seemed to be even. The wheel started moving, it started slowly down as it looked like it was going to stop on [Crusader - Hero of Justice]. However, the arrow went past it to the next class [Duelist - Cards of Fate].

[Congratulations! You’ve gained your first class. Duelist - Cards of Fate is a special type of summoner class.]

[Duelist - Cards of Fate: You are a duelist who relies on luck and skill to win each battle. You’ve gained the [Anime] deck.]

[Note: As a card summoner you can choose to view your deck. When you summon a card, you always summon from the top of the deck. Everyday your deck is shuffled.]

[Rules of a Duelist: You start out the day with five cards. Every monster slain gains you one more draw. If you run out of cards before the day ends you are defenseless.]

The young man standing at the bathroom door looked at Yuu-Mi with a strong gaze.

“What did you get man? I ended up rolling Arsonist.”

“I’m a freaking summoner! What luck huh?” Yuu-Mi sarcastically said. He hated trading card games as they involved lots of luck and skill to win. If you did not get a good hand to start the match with, you have a high percentage to lose the match. He enjoyed games that involved skill more.

Yuu-Mi had a good feeling he was going to die day one.
