Chao- Here's an idea, let's take a cliché, magical girl genre and mix it in somehow with the game/adventure/fantasy type genre of YGO.

YChao- This isn't going to have a Mary Sue or an annoying female character with a bigger lead than the original characters, is it?

Chao- HECK NO! It's actually quite different and totally unexpected.

Prologue

A high school student enjoyed many types of games.
He loved the challenge and skills required to play.
He learned great strategies from his father, who owned a game store and was a proud gamer himself.

The student was a well-liked student among his peers.
He was smart and athletic.
He always wore a friendly smile.
However, he also held a secret.
He was a magical knight who outwitted his opponents by playing games.
He was destined to protect a magical girl.

The magical girl was also a student, who attended the same school.
She, too, enjoyed playing games.
She was also well-liked at school.
She was part of various clubs.
She was a generous and cheerful student.

At first, the magical girl did not get along with the magical knight.
The girl concluded by her own strength she did not need to be rescued.
She believed she could handle herself on her own.
The boy held strong faith in her.
However, he also knew a hero needs teammates for support, regardless of the sex.
The two eventually worked together to bring down their enemies.

The two graduated and went on to college.
There, they placed aside their mystical gifts and lived their time as normal students.
They both got along with each other and spent many days and nights together.
One day, in their final year of being an undergraduate, the woman had to speak with the young man.
She pulled him aside and whispered to him with sad eyes, "I'm pregnant."
The man was surprised but did not run nor was he embarrassed.
He instead took the young lady's hands and said with an overjoyed, heroic smile, "Then make me a happy man."

After the two graduated, they were married and had a son.
He also loved to play games, and he always wore a huge smile.
The family lived their normal lives for a few years until tragedy struck.
Their son was kidnapped and held hostage by an evil man.
The man wanted to kill the boy for he knew the child's destiny: Bringing darkness to the world.
The mother and father reactivated their old magical charms to save their boy.

By the time they managed to rescue their offspring, the child was on the brink of death.
The two employed their magic to bring him back.
However, death is only willing to negotiate with something of value.
The father stepped forward and offered his own life in place of his son.

Death was interested in the deal as he declared, "A life is a life, a value that cannot be exchanged for any manmade items. If I win, I take your son."

"And if I win, then you will release him and take me instead." the man replied without any fear.

The game was set.
The master player had won.
So the child would get a chance to say goodbye, the woman sacrificed her magical abilities to keep the father alive for a while longer.
Magic is something with great caliber but does not equal the same as a life.

The man spent his final days in a hospital bed.
He still enjoyed playing games with his wife and child.
Soon, he passed away.
But before he did, he told his son with a caring smile, "Be brave and continue to enjoy games."

The child grew up into a young adolescent.
He attends high school and still loves to play games.
He managed to even solve a mysterious artifact from Egypt no one else could.
His name is Yugi Muto.
