Chapter 1
So I Really Am Yugi Mutou

Neon.

Maternity hospital.

Doctors and nurses rushed frantically through the corridors.

“Room 022, Mrs. Youcheng is about to give birth! Go prepare for the delivery!”

“Yes, Director!”

Nonstop hustle and bustle.

Until dusk.

Accompanied by a loud cry.

Mr. Youcheng, who had been anxiously waiting outside the delivery room, finally felt his heart drop to his stomach.

The man named [Youcheng Jidai].

Was born on the evening of August 31st.

...

Time flew by, five years had passed.

Mr. and Mrs. Youcheng showered their son, Youcheng Jidai, with extra love and affection.

Although their child seemed to be slightly different from ordinary children.

Except for that one cry at birth.

Youcheng Jidai had never cried again until now.

He could speak at a few months old, and by the age of two, he exhibited intelligence far exceeding other children.

The most frightening thing.

Recently.

Mr. Youcheng had come home early from work.

He unexpectedly found his son, Youcheng Jidai, reading a thick Duel Monsters book.

While this was an era of Duel Monsters for all.

For a five-year-old child.

Such a heavy Duel Monsters book was a bit too overpowered.

Yet, he was engrossed in it.

This made Mr. Youcheng repeatedly believe.

His son might be a once-in-a-millennium Dueling prodigy.

This day.

August 31st.

Youcheng Jidai's fifth birthday.

Mr. Youcheng bought a pack of the newest card packs from the Duel Card store as a birthday present for Youcheng Jidai.

“Thank you, father.”

With a politeness that was completely unlike a child, Youcheng Jidai accepted the card pack from his father and opened it in public.

However.

When the card named [Yubel] appeared before Youcheng Jidai.

The child who had always had the air of a little adult.

Actually showed a surprised expression.

......

“I… ”

“It seems I’ve transmigrated into the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX world…”

“Become Youcheng Jidai himself?”

As night fell.

Youcheng Jidai sat on the bed in his room.

Silently looking at the [Yubel] card in his hand.

Not bad.

He was a transmigrator from another world.

In his previous life, as a card player, he also had a great yearning for the Yu-Gi-Oh! world.

However, after a shop tournament, an accident sent him to this new world.

At first, when he heard his name was ‘Youcheng Jidai’, Youcheng Jidai himself felt a little surprised.

After all, as a card player.

How could he not know this renowned second-generation King of Games?

Initially, Jidai didn’t believe it, thinking he just happened to have the same name as Youcheng Jidai.

But until he saw the [Yubel] card appear on his fifth birthday.

Youcheng Jidai confirmed everything.

“What a twist of fate, I told myself how I’m becoming more and more like Youcheng Jidai…”

“No, I am Youcheng Jidai.”

Looking at the boy with a cute jellyfish haircut in the mirror, who already had the makings of a future form.

Youcheng Jidai touched his chin and shook his head helplessly.

Although he had no objection to becoming Youcheng Jidai.

But when he thought about Youcheng Jidai’s future “Lonely Hero” persona, he felt a bit of a headache.

Especially after experiencing the later part of the plot, the Yubel arc.

Youcheng Jidai had almost become a lonely hero, evolving into the 20th generation.

Although he knew the future plot, Youcheng Jidai didn’t know if he had the power to change everything.

Looking at the [Yubel] in his hand, Youcheng Jidai’s heart was extremely complex.

‘Hee hee hee, Jidai… Jidai…’

‘We’ve finally met again… ’

He could vaguely feel Yubel’s call beside him.

Actually, from a long time ago, Jidai could occasionally sense the existence of spirits.

This might have become a talent he had since childhood.

The power of the Overlord that resided in Jidai’s soul was already beginning to manifest now.

However…

Just knowing that he possesses great power, but not knowing how to use it.

Isn’t that as sad as having a safe full of cash but not knowing the password?

Youcheng Jidai sighed and fell onto the bed in a starfish pose.

“Well…”

“Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.”

“After all, I’ve lived two lives, I shouldn’t be as fragile as in the original story.”

Looking at the [Yubel] card in his hand.

Youcheng Jidai muttered softly.
