What just happened?
I could only stare in shock as my opponent spent 15 minutes summoning a combo of monsters, destroying my monster cards and reducing my Life Points to zero by the second turn.
I didn't know you could summon all the monsters in your deck by the second turn. And I also didn't know a single monster could have over 10,000 ATK.
But to be honest, my knowledge of Yu-Gi-Oh! is limited to the three legendary Egyptian God cards.
I decided to try this game again after watching some videos discussing the power of Yu-Gi-Oh! monsters in the real world, and also to relive my childhood nostalgia.
CRASH!!!
The thunderstorm outside looked terrifying. Maybe it's time to sleep.
I glanced at the clock in the bottom left corner of my monitor, which showed 11:59 PM, just a few seconds before midnight.
Just as I was about to get up from my desk...
CRASH!!!
An intense pain surged through my entire body. It was hot. So, this is what it feels like to be struck by lightning? My vision slowly darkened.
Heh, am I going to die from a lightning strike? My parents would surely be shocked to hear the news of my death, like being struck by lightning in broad daylight—or midnight. A bad attempt at a joke.
Darkness.

I felt my body sway and hit a hard surface. I woke up and slowly opened my eyes.
I looked around. I was in a cart, moving slowly. I felt chains binding my hands and feet.
CLINK
Hard, made of iron.
"Had enough sleep, boy? Do I need to sing you a lullaby?"
Hahaha.
A few people laughed at the man's words.
Wait a minute, didn't I die from a lightning strike in my own room? Is this the afterlife? Judging by the chains on my hands and feet, am I being taken to hell?
Then, what's this, "Open Pack?"
"Did they hit your head too hard? Do you miss your mom?"
Hahaha.
A few people laughed again at the man's words.
"SHUT UP, YOU SLAVES!"
Slaves? Does slavery still exist in this modern era? Isn't that against the law?
Open Pack? Y/N
This box is really obstructing my vision. How do I get rid of it?

I tried touching the word "Yes" on the warning box.

"Hey, old man, do you know where we're being taken?"
I asked the old man who had been talking non-stop since earlier.
"Finally, you speak, boy. I thought you were mute. But to answer your question, I don't know. All I know is that bad luck has befallen us. Death sounds like heaven compared to what's coming next," the old man said.
"What's your name, old man?" I asked him. He had been rambling non-stop. Are all old people like this?
"Does a name even matter? We'll just be called slaves later."
He seems like a pessimistic person.
"What if I have a way to free us from here?"
Hearing that, everyone in the cart turned to look at me. There were about four other people in similar conditions, with chains binding their hands and feet.
"No way you can do that. You should erase that hope. We'll be sent to a slave auction and bought by nobles or aristocrats," the old man said.
I'm now sure this old man is a pessimist.
"Heh, we'll see."
I raised my chained hands, and suddenly a card appeared in my hand. It was a card depicting a beautiful woman with six arms.
"Appear, Succubus Knight!"
