A random idea of my OC reincarnated in Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
Hope that you'll enjoy the prologue.
A new chance to live
The last thing Yan Pin remembered was dying in the hands of Mi Fang. She had nothing to regret back there. She was happy, satisfied. Yet, an event totally chocked her. Zhang Jiao appeared before her.
"It's been too long, my dear child" he said "I'm happy to see you again"
"Where are we?" she asked.
"The afterlife" answered Zhang Jiao.
"So… this is heaven?" she asked.
"No" answered the sorcerer "You haven't reached heaven yet"
"Then where, exactly, we are?" she asked.
"We are in the void, my dear child" he answered.
"The… void?" asked Yan Pin with anxiety.
"The place between life and death" clarified Zhang Jiao.
"And why am I here?" she asked.
"To have another chance in life" answered Zhang Jiao "You will be reborn in another world, where there's no war. You will be able to live in peace, with a family"
Yan Pin's eyes gone wide as she heard the words that exited the mouth of the grand master of the yellow turbans.
"Getting… a new… chance?" she said with disbelieve.
"You died at a very young age" explained Zhang Jiao "The Heavens wanted to thank for the faith that you had in the cause of the yellow turbans"
He was right, she died at the age of 16, she hadn't experienced the world to his fullest, she had a lot to live for.
"Now go, dear child" said Zhang Jiao as he began on disappearing "May you find peace in your new life"
The cry of a baby was heard, and a feminine voice was heard.
"Look at this my dear, it's a girl"
"She look just like you" said a male voice.
Opening her eyes, Yan Pin noticed that the place was white, a pure white. And she then saw a woman with brown hair and blue eyes.
"What will be her name?" asked the woman, that, she assumed, was her mother.
"How about… Shizuku" answered the man.
"That a funny name" said the woman before whispering "Shizuku Miniwa… Welcome to the family"
Yan Pin, now called Shizuku Miniwa was the daughter of Ryuuji Miniwa and Suzuka Miniwa. She had a pretty good life; a good father and a caring mother. Unlike her previous life, the life of the Merciless Dragon, her father was working in a company called Industrial Illusions. Industrial Illusions was a company that makes Duel Monsters and publishes Dungeon Dice Monsters worldwide. The company is run by the Duel Monsters game's creator Maximillion Pegasus. The company supplies Duel Monsters expansion data to KaibaCorp for their Solid Vision holograms.
She had to admit; this world had a lot of good things. The first thing was the technology, a good and fast way to get any information someone needs, and it also helps the people in their works. The second thing was the music of this world, unlike in her world, the music she had heard in this new world was… different, they were classified in categories. The third thing was the cities, it was hard not to notice the difference between the houses built in the villages back there and those built here, the materials used was similar to the stones used to build walls that protected the cities. The rest was secondary, boys and girls goes to the same school, the relations between kingdoms, the history of this world…
But there was also surprising things, like the existence of the legendary book the Art of War, who was an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Spring and Autumn period. The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a distinct aspect of warfare and how that applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that would be formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare. It has a profound influence on both Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy and beyond. But, the most surprising thing was the existence of Lu Bu, who was like a brother to her back there, was described as a monster, a demon, a traitor… even if it hurts her, she had to stay calm.
Even if there's no war in this world, there was still something called the Monster Duel, a game based on monster, warriors, or beasts on cards. The rules were simple:
1- Each player starts with 4000 Life Points.
2- A player's hand cannot contain more than seven cards.
3- High Level monsters require sacrifices to be Summoned. Level 5 and 6 monsters require one sacrifice, Level 7 or higher monsters require two sacrifices.
At the age of six, she was given her first Deck, a personal and unique Deck; a Warrior Type Deck. But she couldn't use that Deck yet. The fact that a little girl having cards that nobody haves will make anyone trying to target her family in order to get them. However, at the age of nine, both of her parents went to vacation, leaving her with Pegasus, but never returned. They were killed by a thug when they were in their way back. At first, Pegasus didn't want to tell her the truth, but after three days, she guessed it alone.
"They're dead, right?" she asked.
Pegasus stayed silent for a moment before answering "Yes…"
The girl in front of him still cold and emotionless, but he could tell that she was crying inside her.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"… Yes" said Shizuku 'Again' she thought 'I lost my family again'
'It must be hard for her to lose both her parents at the same time at this age' thought Pegasus 'Ryuuji… you shouldn't have left her alone'
The girl took out her personal deck and stared at it, she then noticed a form floating around her 'What is this?'
"A Duel Spirit…?" mumbled Pegasus.
The Duel Spirit was in the form of a blonde little girl with blue eyes and holding a rifle.
"What" said the spirit "Do you want something?"
"I'm just curious about who you are" answered Pegasus "Because I never saw your card"
"You can see her too?" asked Shizuku.
'Incredible…' thought Pegasus 'How could she have the ability to see Duel Spirits?'
"A question has been asked to you pretty lady" said the Duel Spirit to Pegasus.
"Sorry" replied Pegasus "I was just surprised of your ability to see Duel Spirits"
"Duel Spirits?" asked Shizuku with confusion.
"The monsters who are in the cards" answered Pegasus "Some rare people are able to see them, hear them, talk with them… and you go on"
"So" began the spirit "What are you planning to do?"
"I don't know" replied Shizuku "I guess that I'll go back home"
"'I guess that There will be only one thing lest for me to do' thought Pegasus as he walked toward the girl, he then kneeled toward her "How about staying here with me?"
"Eh?!" Shizuku was surprised by the proposition of Pegasus.
"I'm asking you if you would like to live with me" repeated Pegasus "Becoming my adoptive daughter, of course, you will keep you family name"
"But… I'm just the daughter of one of your employee" she said weakly.
"Ryuuji was more than an employee to me" replied Pegasus as he roses "He was a friend, a counselor, even a brother to me. Therefore it's my duty to watch over you"
"But…" as she try to protest she couldn't find arguments "I… I will surly cause you trouble… and… it's hard to deal with kids… and… and…"
"Don't worry" said Pegasus as he patted her head "I don't do it because I'm forced to do it, but from my own free will"
That was the final hit before bursting into tears as she hugged the owner of Industrial Illusions.
Yeah... There's no duel in the prologue.
But don't worry, the next chapter will feature Shizuku entering Duel Academy.
