Hello friends, fans, and fellow fiction readers. This is your old friend the Ritualist here, telling you that this is the start of a saga. This new series is called Yu-Gi-Oh! 200. This series takes place in the far future, 200 years after the original events, and 190 years after Yugioh GX. In this story, which is called Yu-Gi-Oh! 200: The Journey, the characters play with Duelist Kingdom rules, so it is NOT true to the card game. Well, I hope you enjoy.

Prologue

Why, hello there. My name is…. Well, my name isn't important, but you can call me the Bookkeeper. I am entrusted to keep the Book of Time, which contains every tale that happened or will happen on Earth, and any of its parallel universes. One story in a parallel universe interests me, which is saying a lot seeing as I know EVERY story ever. This is the story of a young man named Curtis Cuttler. His story begins 200 years after the original Shadow Games ended. Let's take a look into this story.

Curtis took off his duel disk, and removed his deck. Looking through his deck, he thought of all he won, and all he could have lost. He thought of every enemy he beat, and all the friends that where defeated. He decided to put his duel disk back on, and loaded his deck into it. He drew the top card, Gilford the Legend. He thought that this meant this duel was won, which wouldn't be easy because of who is opponent is. This duel won't be easy, he thought. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the doors leading to where he would duel in 10 minutes. He walked through the door and looked around the packed coliseum, filled with thousands of people. He then glared his opponent straight in the eyes, and smiled. "Well, old friend, you knew this day would come. Its time to throw down." Sorry, my friends. We started from the end of the story. Let me explain the story from the beginning.

After Yugi gave up dueling, he kept the Millennium Puzzle as a keepsake of all the good and bad times he had with the Pharaoh Atem, after he passed back to the spirit world. About a year after he retired, the Puzzle was stolen. The thieves split the Puzzle into its parts, and hid them until the cops weren't on their trail. Before the cops even began their search, each of the robbers died a mysterious death, all involving rope. When Yugi finally got his broken Puzzle, he decided that this meant it was time to return it to its rightful place. He took the Puzzle to the Tomb of the Millennium Items, and buried it. His body was never found. Well, now that you know the background, let's get back to the story.
