Chapter 1
Cold. Trembling.
Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes, his expression initially a little dazed as he looked around.
Everything seemed strange.
He was lying on a dilapidated iron bed.
After sitting up, he saw cold brick walls to his left and right. There was a bare bulb on the ceiling, emitting a weak light.
Using the dim light source, Bai Ye could see himself.
He was still wearing the same summer clothes he had on before he passed out.
He was wearing flip-flops.
His mind went blank for about three seconds before Bai Ye reacted.
This was the rhythm of a time-travel.
Nine out of ten time-travel novels started with the protagonist waking up like this.
The "opening-your-eyes" type of beginning.
If he remembered correctly, according to the time-travel novel routine, what should happen next is a "ding" sound, the protagonist's golden finger is activated, and they quickly familiarize themselves with the environment, finally using their golden finger to achieve success in this different world.
Oh.
There's also a standard line.
"I've transmigrated."
By analyzing the current situation, Bai Ye was more than 95% certain that he had time-traveled.
Otherwise.
It would be a realistic variety show.
But in the domestic environment, such behavior of directly kidnapping someone to stage a show is clearly impossible.
After all, as long as the person involved makes a call to the police.
Then take a short video and post it on Xiabu Xiabu and ShakeSound, I guarantee that even the director, crew members, and the company behind the scenes will be cursed out by netizens until they don't even recognize their own mothers.
Of course.
There's another possibility.
That he was kidnapped by a mastermind like in "Saw" to play a game.
But based on Bai Ye's memory of the movie.
He is currently unrestrained, and there's no TV in front of him playing a masked person telling him "Let's play a game."
"Opening-your-eyes" type of beginning, plus being transported to a desolate place in a different world, um... it also looks like a prison."
Bai Ye looked at the iron bars in front of him and muttered to himself.
"This is the worst kind of beginning."
"Even if you sent me to a carriage, with strong men all around, it wouldn't be as bad as this."
But soon.
Bai Ye's thoughts returned.
Because his golden finger had arrived.
All this originated from the "ding" sound in his mind.
"Let me see what my golden finger is. If it's not useful, I'm gonna refuse it."
【You have obtained the Yu-Gi-Oh Card System.】
"?"
A question mark popped up on Bai Ye's head.
Although he loved playing Yu-Gi-Oh, and also loved using God's Right Hand, God's Left Hand, The Traveler of the Sanctuary, God's Silver City, Kusha, Mechanical God, etc., to bring down the opponent, but now you're giving me this Yu-Gi-Oh card, what's the meaning?
Is this a world of card games, where everything can be decided by card games?
But Bai Ye's subconscious told him.
This definitely isn't that kind of simple world.
"Who wants this thing?"
If you're unsure about something, just play a card only works in that world. In other worlds, wouldn't it be that someone summons a fist and directly attacks.
【Host, by completing different punch-in tasks, you can obtain corresponding card power to strengthen yourself.】
Alright, misunderstanding cleared.
Bai Ye's gaze became clear again.
【Detecting that the host is transmigrating for the first time, currently giving the host a Newbie Gift Pack. Open it to randomly obtain a card power.】
After the voice ended, a floating red gift box appeared in front of Bai Ye.
Three-dimensional, no physical form.
"Random draw?"
Bai Ye grinned.
There are conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
And according to the Yu-Gi-Oh setting, cards can rely on the power of the Spirit World, and even by using cosmic energy to make cards, the types would probably be endless.
Since it's a Newbie Gift Pack, you're making me randomly draw?
You don't even give me a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, at least give me a Red-Eyes Black Dragon so I have a self-defense ability, right?
However, Bai Ye started to open the gift pack.
【Newbie Gift Pack opened successfully, congratulations host for obtaining Phantom of Chaos - Rabiel.】
Then.
In front of Bai Ye, a card shrouded in black mist appeared.
The back was a black hole, and the front was clearly the image of the Phantom of Chaos from the Three Phantom Gods!
But it was different from the cards Bai Ye had.
In Master Duel and real-world cards, whether it's the Three Phantom Gods or the Three Phantom Beasts, they are all real cards with specified effects.
But the card that appeared in front of Bai Ye now only had the name and image, and the effect description below was written in special characters.
It looked like... ancient cuneiform?
Despite this, Bai Ye found that he could understand them.
"So these characters are the summoning words of Phantom of Chaos? Just like the Three Phantom Gods."
As everyone knows.
Summoning gods requires incantations.
If you don't recite the incantations, you can't summon them.
And if you're not a priest, even if you summon a god, you'll be backlashed.
But the Three Phantom Beasts don't have so many restrictions.
They will only confuse people's minds at most.
After all, in the original story, after the chairman of the Duel Academy summoned the Three Phantom Beasts, his mind became unstable, and after being defeated by Yusei, he became a kind old man.
And as if sensing Bai Ye's doubts.
A voice appeared in his mind again.
【Host, after fusing with the card, the power will fully belong to yourself, you will not be affected in any way.】
"Then it's fine."
With no worries, Bai Ye directly chose to fuse with the card power.
Then.
Thick streams of darkness were released from the Phantom of Chaos card.
Space seemed to vibrate.
And Bai Ye's body was like a vortex, frantically consuming all the darkness.
Until it was completely absorbed after a few seconds.
The power of Phantom of Chaos completely merged into Bai Ye's body.
Bai Ye's eyes also turned crimson, but quickly faded.
After everything ended.
Bai Ye noticed that there was a huge, special power within him that he could use at any time.
Without a doubt.
That's the power of Phantom of Chaos.
"I just don't know how strong Phantom of Chaos can be in this world."
Although Bai Ye could use it flexibly, he wasn't familiar with it.
"Let's test it out."
Thinking this.
Bai Ye put his hand on the iron bars, and with a slight force, he tore the whole gate down.
Coming outside, Bai Ye looked at the dark and cramped prison corridor, his eyes instantly became kind.
"Let's see what kind of world this is."
Thinking this.
Bai Ye suddenly saw several figures quickly approaching him.
