A/N: here's the rewrite for chapter one. Also to clarify for people confused this is not a self insert. The main character is an OC think of it like an Isekai. Also to anybody who reads this the rest of the chapters are currently non canon. I'm rewriting all the chapters right now. I'll delete this part of the A/N when I'm done.

Chapter 1 an Unfortunate circumstance.

I was surrounded by darkness I saw a man? Woman? Something in front of me I couldn't make out smiling and chuckling in an indistinguishable voice. There was someone else next to me but I couldn't make out any definable features. The figure in front of me snapped and I saw nothing as a blackness overtook me.

'Did I die?' I thought while still surrounded by darkness. I remembered going to a bar after… something I couldn't clearly remember. I didn't have long to try and remember when I saw a faint red light. It grew brighter and brighter before it became blinding. I opened my eyes breathing deeply realizing I hadn't been breathing before. I took a few deep breaths it almost felt like I had almost drowned.

As I took a quick look around I noticed something. There was something on my chest I moved the thick red blanket to see a moderate sized pair of breasts and that I was wearing a red shirt. I also noticed my smaller and more feminine hands. It quickly dawned on me I wasn't in my body anymore I was in a woman's body… I froze as I tried to process as what I just realized. "WHAT THE FUCK!" I yelled out in an effeminate voice before covering my mouth realizing somebody else may be in this house or apartment.

'Still how the fuck?! Why am I in a woman's body?! What freaky friday bullshit is this?!' I thought as my mind went into overdrive trying to find answers. 'Did I piss off a gypsy and get cursed? Or did I touch some weird artifact with the girl who's body I'm in when I was drunk?' I thought several possibilities to myself all logical explanations going out the window in order to try and keep my sanity in this illogical situation. I decided I would try to figure this out later I can't find answer's just staying in a bed all day.

I looked around the room and saw no one else was in the room I also didn't hear anyone trying to come check on the noise. I also saw I was that I was in quite a fancy looking room painted red. The bed I was in also had red sheets and a red blanket. 'I wonder what the owner of this rooms favorite color was.' I deadpanned in my mind as I tried to cheer myself up while also trying to keep my mind off how I was a girl. 'Though I wonder if I sleep with a girl in this body is it straight or gay?' The perverted thought popped into my mind and I slapped myself. 'nope I shouldn't think of that.' I got up off the bed and used a nearby nightstand as support as my balance was screwed up due to the fact I was not accustomed to this body.

I did however notice one thing I had missed earlier due to being overwhelmed with questions and slight fear. I had quite long blond hair that ended in red highlighted tips that looked like it went down to my back. 'Or well the previous person who had this bodies back.' I thought to myself I also bumped something on the nightstand. 'I-is that a duel disk.' I thought to myself even more shocked it even has a deck in it. It was a red and black version of the standard Yugioh 5D's duel disk with the glass on top of the duel disk where life points are shown being a dark blue. 'This girl either knows a technical genus or is one.' I thought as I reached out to her deck curious what she played. I pulled the deck out the duel disk and looked at it.

I dropped the cards as soon as I saw the first card in the deck and they scattered across the floor. Something in that moment clicked in my mind and I quickly ran to a door that I guessed lead to a bathroom stumbling and even tripping a few times. Luckily I was uninjured from tripping and rushed into the bathroom my guess being correct. I quickly turned to the right and found the bathroom mirror and my eyes widened. Aside from the blond hair I had pale skin and blue eyes. My face was exactly how I imagined an old OC of mine named Scarlet Takara I created for a Yugioh 5D's fanfiction. I backed away from the mirror and triped landing hard on my back. "Ow!" I yelled out as I tried getting up. 'Wait… I'm in Scarlet's body and there's a duel disk exactly like one in 5D's… No it can't be!' I thought bolting out the room finally getting some control over my balance. I barely stopped before running into a wall and moved out into a living room like area and my jaw hit the floor as I looked out the window seeing the fictional world of new domino city.

'I'm in the Yugioh 5D's world.' The realization hit me and I sit down on a nearby couch. Some part of me felt it was obvious but I had no clue why that was. Questions clouded my mind. 'What part of 5D's was this, how did I get here, what should I do?.'

These were just some of the question that flooded my mind. However I thought of a solution to at least one question. I got up trying to focus on the task at hand and looked for a computer or phone something with internet. I quickly found an advanced looking computer and probably due to me being in Scarlet's body I knew how to turn it on and how to use it. I had no time to think about why that was as I was too focused on the task at hand.

I typed in the Fortune cup and my jaw hit the floor again at what I saw. the text on the screen said that no results were found. 'Wait don't tell me I'm in a time before 5D's has even started!' I tried to calm myself down as I yet again felt completely overwhelmed. I sat there stunned by the computer and leaned back into the chair trying to clear my thoughts. I decided it would be best to try and remember things about Scarlet as I have a dreadful feeling I'm gonna be stuck here for awhile. I hadn't touched the fanfiction I wrote with her in it in years despite me still following Yugioh and playing the game, though admittedly I haven't played the game im awhile either. I remembered Scarlet was rather rude to most people except those she deemed strong, she came from a rich family, and the archetype she used was a unique ser due to her winning a contest when she was younger. I also remember she had a goal of being the greatest duelist in the world and when she left the duel academy she was at she entered the pro circuit. That gave me the idea to look Scarlet up and I saw multiple duels with her.

She was apparently a relatively well known duelist not Jack levels but still well known. "Fuck" I said to myself sure the apartment was empty due to the lack of people telling be quiet or trying to check on me. This means when I'm in public I'm gonna need to act like Scarlet it would seem suspicious or weird otherwise. "This fucking sucks." I thought out loud grimacing it was then my stomach growled and for the first time this morning I realized how hungry. I quickly used the computer to look for a close, cheap, and nice looking restaurant to eat at and luckily there was one a few blocks away. I got up stretching deciding I should eat before doing anything else as starving myself would hinder me more than help me. Though deep I do have to admit I a, kind of happy to be in my favorite Yugioh anime even if I couldn't act like myself. I would jump for joy and I probably will later on. However because this is Yugioh and almost all disagreements are settled with trading cards. I decided I should go and gather the cards I dropped earlier.

I did so and grabbed my duel disk before I opened the drawer on my nightstand and grabbed my deck box. 'Wait how did I know that?' I thought to myself as my stomach growled again interrupting my thoughts. I looked over at a door I assumed was a closet and opened it. I had two reactions when doing so. The first one was surprise at the fact it was a walk in closet, and the second was me frowning when I saw that all Scarlet has aside for shirts and jackets where skirts and dresses no pants. But I decided to suck it up and got dressed in a white shirt, red jacket, red skirt, and a pair of brown boots. 'Note to self buy pants.' I thought as I felt uncomfortable wearing a skirt for the first time. I attached my deck box to my skirt and I found a bag that held Scarlet's wallet I checked her ID, she was 21 a good few years younger then me. I stored the duel disk in there and sighed as I walked out of my apartment.

I was almost surprised earlier when I realized Scarlet lived in the tops however it did make sense considering she was kind of a spoiled brat from what I remembered. I also won't lie in saying being pampered and living in a nice area wasn't gonna be nice. I smiled slightly as I walked absorbing the atmosphere of New domino city. It was a warm and peaceful day. I was so absorbed into the atmosphere I wasn't paying attention and bumped into a rather comically large dude with black crew cut hair. "Hey! Watch where you're going pipsqueak." The man said as I looked up and saw that behind him was where the restaurant I wanted to go to was.

"I'm sorry for not paying attention now please let me through I am very hungry." I said disinterestedly trying to walk around him.

"Hey! I'm not gonna let that pathetic excuse for an apology past!" The man noticed the deck box on my hip. "How about we duel and if I win you give me a proper apology. If you win you get to go through." The guy said smiling cockily. I felt very irritated because I just wanted to eat but I also thought in my irritation 'does he not know who I am?!'. Though I normally wouldn't feel irritated at this. Is it possible Scarlet has affected me or is it because I'm really hungry? Things to find out later when I'm not so hungry. I pulled my duel disk out my bag and walked a a bit back as my opponent did the same pulling out a duel disk himself. "Good luck girly I won a local tournament not to long ago." The man boasted drawing five cards.

I drew five cards as well and ignored him both in order to practice acting as Scarlet and because I wanted to be a bit of a dick to hum. 'Better to try it with this guy since he doesn't seem to know who I am so if I fuck up he won't notice.' I thought holding back a sigh and I looked at my hand. It was an Ok opening hand but I decided to let him go first.

"DUEL!" We both said

Man - 4000

Scarlet - 4000

"Well as congratulations I'll let you go first but I'll win anyways." I bragged and the man scoffed at it.

"Well don't mind if I do!" The man yelled drawing. "First I'll activate the spell card reinforcements of the army."

He was about to say what it did in typical Yugioh fashion but I cut him off "Just add your warrior to your hand. I don't care what it is you'll lose regardless cocky asshole." I said irritatedly and the man growled before adding a card to his hand.

"You call me cocky but your the one being cocky." He retorted as he added a monster to his hand. "I summon Marauding Captain."

Marauding Captain level 3 1200 atk

"This lets me summon out any level four or lower monster from my hand I summon out X-Saber Pashuul."

X-Saber Pashuul tuner level 2 100 atk

"Now I tune my level two X-Saber Pashuul with my level three Marauding Captain to Synchro summon X-Saber Wayne."

X-Saber Wayne level 5 2100 atk.

"Now it's ability let's me summon any level four or lower warrior type monster from my hand. I summon out Tune Warrior."

Tune Warrior level 3 1600 atk.

"Now I tune my level three Tune Warrior and my level five X-Saber Wayne to summon out my level eight Colossal Fighter."

Colossal Fighter level 8 2800 atk

"And it's ability lets it gain an extra four hundred attack since there are four warriors in my graveyard."

Colossal fighter 2800 atk - 3200 atk.

"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn." The man said setting the 2 cards over dramatically.

'Yep without a shadow of a doubt I'm in the yugioh world.' I thought deadpanned since only people in the world of Yugioh would take the card game this seriously. "I draw." I calmly drew mimicking scarlets demeanor as best as I could. But my heart was beating out my chest I was really excited my first duel in months and it was with holograms. Colossal Fighter looked cool projected in 3D I had to contain a grin waiting to see what my monsters looked like.

"During your standby phase I activate the trap card Thunder of Ruler which means you can't enter your battle phase this turn." The man smirked as his trap card flipped face up. I simply shrugged in response. Looking at my hand I grabbed a card which depicted a young wizard wearing a helmet with ram horns on it, red armor, and holding a staff that ended in a ball of lava.

"I discard Red Star Aries from my hand to activate the effect of my Red Star Power Smasher. When I control no monsters I can discard one "Red Star" card from my hand to normal summon him without a tribute." A tall humanoid dragon wearing golden and red armor came forth from a pillar of fire wielding a sword it flapped its wings and flicked it's tail back and forth and loudly roared.

Red Star Power Crusher level 6 2100 atk

A second pillar of fire burst forth right next to Red Star Power Crusher. A small male appeared next to him wearing a helmet with ram horns red armor a red glowing ram also walking next to him. The young male had a staff with a lava core on top that was almost twice as large as he was.

Red Star Aries 800 def

"Then my Red Star Aries effect kicks in letting me special summon him in defence mode when he's discarded by the effect of a "Red Star" monster. However I must banish him when he leaves the field." I explained hiding my amazement at what was happening. 'I can't believe this I'm actually dueling with holograms. Not only that but I'm also using custom cards I created.' I was so caught up in the moment I forgot about my worries.

I quickly re-focused on the duel and grabbed another card in my hand "Now I activate the spell card Red Star Nova Blast when I have two or more red star monsters on the field I can tribute one to destroy a card on your field." The card depicted two Red Star monsters firing off a giant heat wave. Red Star Power Crusher crossed his sword with Red Star Aries' staff and a giant heat wave destroyed Colossal Fighter and Red Star Aries vanished.

"I set one card face down and end my turn." My face down appeared after I calmly put it in the spell/trap zone 'if I wasn't trying to stay calm I'd be freaking out due to joy and probably acting over dramatically… Holy shit it was my destiny to be a yugioh

character!' I thought as a joke realizing the irony in my snark from earlier.

The male looked a bit irritated drawing "I activate my face down trap card call of the haunted to bring back Colossal Fighter."

Colossal Fighter 2800-3200 atk.

"Now I activate the spell card Foolish Burial to send another copy of Marauding Captain to the graveyard." The male said sending the card to the graveyard.

Colossal Fighter 3200-3300 atk

"Now Colossal Fighter attack!" The monster rushes forward and strikes at Red Star Power Crusher. A blast of wind blocked the attack however "What!" The man said.

"I activate my trap card Negate Attack. I would explain what it does but like pot of greed no one knows." I sarcastically said 'shit I don't think Scarlet would say that.' I thought to myself.

The male looked confused before rolled his eyes "I set one card face down and end my turn."

I looked at the card I drew "I activate the spell card Red Star Unifying Gravity. This lets me add one level four or lower "Red Star" monster from my deck to my hand." I said adding a card to my hand. "Now I summon Red Star Spark Warrior." A warrior with a shield and a sword wearing red armor that gave off a dull glow appeared.

Red Star Spark Warrior level 3 1000 atk.

"Now I use the effect of Red Star Core letting me special summon it as I control two Red Star monsters." A giant orb of lava appeared on the field and at the center of it appeared what looked like a eye.

Red Star Core level 1 0 atk.

"Now I tune my level 1 Red Star Core with my level 3 Red Star Spark Warrior and my level 6 Red Star Power Smasher. Come the king born from a red sun, the inferno destined to destroy all in it's path. Burning Red Star Dragon!" I said with a bit more flair then needed. Then again it was awesome saying a summon chant the first time.

A large scarlet colored fire surrounded my side of the field absorbing the three monsters previously on it. When the fire died down all that was left was a large dragon with a scarlet body, it's wings were glowing like they were made of lava, it had large black claws and it had piercing black eyes contrasting with it's red skin and in the center of it's chest was Red Star Core it let out a powerful roar.

Burning Red Star Dragon 3200 atk

"Now because Red Star Spark Warrior was used for a synchro summon Burning Red Star Dragon gets 1000 attack until the end phase." I explained as Burning Red Star Dragon was surrounded in a burning aura.

Burning Red Star Dragon 3200 - 4200 atk

The man quickly glanced down at his face down. It was a small thing something most people would barely notice. But I guess Scarlet isn't most people and since I'm now her I guess I'm not either. 'He's planning something… if I had to guess that face down is a mirror force.' I smirked "Burning Red Star Dragon attack Burning Hell Blaze!"

The dragons fist caught fire with a bright red fire before it rushed forward at Colossal Fighter.

"I activate my trap mirror force!" The man said activating his face down trap card a barrier forming in front of his monster. My dragons punch connected with the barrier and the barrier shattered and my monster's punch connected with Colossal fighter's face sending it flying and cracking it's visor before the monster disappeared in a bunch of particles.

Man 4000 lp - 3100 lp.

"What!?" The man asked shocked as his creature was destroyed.

"Burning Red Star Dragon can't be destroyed by spells or traps when it's synchro summoned." I explained before smiling smugly. "It also banishes any monster it battles with after damage calculation if it still on the field that is. So you can't bring Colossal Fighter back with its effect actually you can't use its effect at all since it wasn't sent to the graveyard." I explained in a matter of fact tone. "And to add onto this every time Burning Red Star Dragon banishes a monster with its effect it gains 400 attack."

Burning Red Star Dragon 4200-4600

"I end my turn by the way." I said waving positive he didn't have something that could take down my monster this turn.

Burning Red Star Dragon 4600-3600

"Draw!" The man looked at his hand and smiled slightly. "I activate swords of revealing light!" The spell surrounded my side of the field in swords made of light paralyzing Burning Red Star Dragon. I sighed internally knowing this was just a stalling tactic where's MST when you need it. "I end my turn." He said knowing he couldn't do anything else.

I drew "I set one card face down and end my turn." I said playing calm though I was happy with what I got.

"pass" the male said after adding the card he drew to his hand.

"This is gonna be the final turn." I gloated before triggering my face down. "I use my face down trap card dust tornado to destroy your swords of revealing light." The spell shattered as the man was stunned. "Now Burning Red Star Dragon attack!" The monster instantly responded to my command punching the mans duel disk amd sending him flying.

Man 3100 lp - 0 LP.

I walked by him as he picked himself up off the floor while looking around making sure not the bump into anyone else. I am thankfully able to make it into the restaurant and order without incident while waiting I noticed a faint glow from my deck, I checked it and it was a new card a card I knew as I designed it. "Red sun evolution." I muttered to myself. I didn't stop making Red Star cards even after I was done with the fanfiction Scarlet was in. 'But how did this one get in my deck?' I thought to myself as my food came and I quickly put the card away. However the card bothered me. Where did it come from, why is all this happening, and if I should even use it considering what it does.

After I finished eating I decided to head back to my apartment and had just made it into the apartment complex when I bumped into a young kid with blue hair and a blue shirt. Or well they bumped into me. "Leo watch where you're going I'm sorry for that my brother." A girl with blue hair and a pink shirt said looking embarrassed.

"It's fine" I said before realizing who the person I was talking to was Luna. It was then Leo noticed the duel disk that I had restored in my bag. "Hey you have a duel disk can we duel?" Leo asked excitedly. 'I want to say yes but is it a good idea? If I duel leo and he gets better from it this could change how the story progresses. Then again me being here will change the storyline.' I thought to myself and continued debating with myself on if I should do this as Leo and Luna talked about something I wasn't paying attention to.

I had finally decided when they looked like they had stopped talking. "Sure I'd love to duel." 'I always felt Leo and Luna could have used more screen time' I thought concluding the internal debate and Leo looked excite.

A/N: and here we conclude the first updated chapter as we can see I changed quite a lot. I'm sorry it took me so long I got distracted with the releases of Resident evil 2 remake, Metro exodus, Apex legends, and Devil may cry 5. Also since this is the first chapter I've decided to not bog down the A/N with the featured card segment. I'll do that next chapter. Leave me your thoughts of this hopefully improved Version of the first chapter.
