Author's Note: Yes!!! This chapter has somebody other than Shadi in it. This also references one of my other stories "The Story of the King of Games". It's not necessary to read the story beforehand but it helps if you have read the story.
jalen Johnson-I would have answered you directly but you were an anonymous reviewer, Anyway, this chapter should answer your question.
'Thoughts'- That is Yusei's

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Puzzle
Yusei Fudo was walking down the street. He had just won a duel. As the King of Turbo Dueling, he had to duel people, a lot. He had just read Carly's book, Yu-Gi-Oh- King of Games.
'I didn't know all that much about Yugi before I read that book. I just knew that he was the original King of Games. I also didn't know what the pyramid shaped thing that he always wore was, apparently it is an item called the Millennium Puzzle. '
Yusei continued to walk down the street, thinking about the book that he had read recently. Suddenly, a small shop on the left side of the street caught his eye.
'Strange, I've walked down this street millions of times, and yet I have never noticed that shop before. '
Yusei entered the shop. The shop seemed to be an antique store of some sort. Everything for sale in the store looked like it was a few hundred years old. There was a man, the shopkeeper, sitting behind the counter.
Yusei wandered around the store for a while, looking at the items for sale in the store. Finally, the man sitting behind the counter spoke.
"How may I help you? Is there anything in particular that you are looking for?"
"No" Yusei Replied
"Well, I do have a few things in the back room that I haven't put out for sale yet that you might be interested in."
"Sure, I would like to see the items that you have in the back room."
The shopkeeper entered the backroom of the shop. He came out carrying a small golden box with an eye carved on it.
"Are you interested in this?" the Shopkeeper said "This is a puzzle. It was solved only once, but then it was shattered into pieces again. You can look at it if you like."
Yusei looked at the golden box. 'I suppose it couldn't hurt to look at this puzzle.'
Yusei opened the box. Inside were many golden puzzle pieces. It was impossible to tell what the exact shape of the puzzle was just by looking at the pieces alone. You would have to solve the puzzle in order to find out the shape of the puzzle. Yusei picked up a piece of the puzzle. This piece had an eye on it like the one that was on the box.
'This is strange. Why do I have this feeling that I am supposed to solve the puzzle?'
"Would you like to own this puzzle? It was found by a archaeologist in Egypt a long time ago, it was his Grandson who solved this puzzle for the first time you know. " The Shopkeeper said interrupting Yusei's thoughts about the puzzle that he was looking at.
"Yes" Yusei said
"Well, you can have the puzzle for free. I just opened this shop and nobody will ever buy that puzzle when I show it to them."
"Really" Yusei stuttered, stunned at his good luck. "Thank You Sir"
Yusei walked back to his house. When he got home he started to work on the puzzle that he had gotten. He managed to fit a few of the pieces together but he couldn't solve the puzzle, and he still could not tell what the shape of the puzzle was.
'This is the hardest puzzle I have ever seen. This could take years to solve'
Finally, After staying up late working on the puzzle, Yusei went to sleep.
The next day it was the same thing. When Yusei got home he started to work on the puzzle. He fit a few pieces together but he still could not tell what the exact shape of the puzzle was.
The next day went the same. Yusei got home. He worked on the puzzle. He fit a few pieces together, but he still could not tell what the shape of the puzzle was.
'At this rate it will take me years to solve this puzzle.'
The next day went the same as the above day.
And the Next day
And the next day
And the next day
And the next day
And the next day
And the next day
And the next day
And the Next Day
And the Next day
And the next day
6 months later
'Finally, I am close to solving the puzzle.'
The puzzle had been revealed to be pyramid shaped and the same shade of gold as the box that the pieces were contained inside. The almost complete puzzle resembled the Millennium Puzzle that Yugi Moto had worn all those years ago. Now the puzzle was almost complete, there were only a few pieces left to put in the puzzle before it would be solved.
Yusei reached inside the box for the final piece of the puzzle. The piece was the one he had picked up in the shop, the puzzle piece that had the eye on it.
Yusei place the final piece inside the puzzle.
Then he blanked out.
Yusei opened his eyes. He was in a corridor now. To the left was one door. To the right was another door.
Yusei opened the door on the left side. The room was bright; the walls of the room were white. Inside the room were several items; a Duel Runner, A Deck of Cards, a photo of a group of friends.
'Strange, these are all things that would be important to me, my friends, and my cards.'
Yusei closed the door and turned to the other door leading out of the corridor. The door looked like it belonged in the ruin of a building from long ago; like the door to a tomb. He opened the door. Inside the room was dark; it reminded you of a tomb of a Pharaoh though, it seemed ancient. Standing in front of Yusei was a person.
The person was a little shorter than Yusei. He had spiky black hair with blond bangs and magenta on the edges. His eyes were violet.
'He reminds me of somebody'
Suddenly, Yusei figured out who the person reminded him of.
'He looks almost exactly like Yugi Moto'
"Who Are You" The mysterious person spoke "And why am I in the Millennium Puzzle."
"I'm Yusei Fudo, and where are we. Is this the place that you called the Millennium Puzzle? Who are you?"
"I am the Pharaoh Atem and this is the Millennium Puzzle"
"As In the Puzzle that I just solved."
"You solved the Millennium Puzzle. How can that be, all of the Millennium Items were sealed away."
"I don't know a shopkeeper gave me the Puzzle when I wander into his shop."
"Then what was the Millennium Puzzle doing in that shop. If the Millennium Puzzle has come back then have the other items come back."
"Millennium Items? What?"
"Millennium Items, they were created by the Ancient Egyptians in order to control a power. Eventually, I had to seal away that power when Zorc threatened to take over the world. If the Millennium Items have returned then perhaps the Shadow Games have too."
"Shadow Games"
"Ancient Games, when the monsters, Duel Monsters were based on them were summoned. They were real. The loser of the game lost their soul to the Shadow Realm."
"That sounds like the duels against the Dark Signers: In those duels the damage was real. The Shadow Realm also sounds a lot like the Netherworld. "
"Maybe they were the same thing then. Anyway, if the Shadow Games have returned then the whole world could be in danger."
"Yes, how do I get out of this place anyway?"
"Close your eyes, when you open them you should be where you were before you came in here."
"Okay, Then"
Yusei closed his eyes. When he opened them he was sitting in his room like he had been when he solved the Millennium Puzzle.
Author's Note: Yes, I finished the first chapter. I stayed up to about 11 o'clock last night writing this so that I could get it up before I left on my trip. Now I just need to write the next chapter.
