Prologue: first pack and rare find.
(7 years before the events of the TV series)
Ten year old Roland Roxton was starting to feel really excited because he just received his first duel monsters booster pack and was about to open it in order to see what kinds of cards were inside.
A while after moving to Japan from America, due to his parents getting a job at industrial illusions, he developed an interest in the game duel monsters. He didn't know everything about all the rules but does know most of the basics.
Roland had been waiting a while to get some cards and he used his saved up allowance to buy one booster pack with six cards.
Now sitting on his bed he opened the pack to see what cards he got. They seemed to be good cards like monster reborn, dark hole, dragon nails, winged dragon guardian of the fortress, and ruby dragon.
The last card was a real attention grabber. It was one of the rarest cards in all of duel monsters and was said to be able to rival the blue eyes white dragon. It was the red eyes black dragon.
