Hey. This is my first fanfic. I am deciding to do things a little differently for my Arc-V fanfics. Usually 5th dimension fanfics have another set of counterparts. I am going to not do that. Instead my self-insert OC will fill that role. More specifically the bracelet girl role because of logistics. This first chapter is more of a world building one so do not expect much from it. Additionally, character decks will be buffed and more meta strategies will be included once we pass the Standard Arc. For updates, this is a causal project of mine so I cannot guarantee a specific time, but duels will be tough. Lastly I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! and various of other references that appear. They belong to their resective owners.
Important Note: So apparently the chapters do not connect on the computer version of the webpage as well. Chapter 3 is supposedly the worst offender. It does work if you view it through the mobile version of the website. I am unsure about the app. I recommend getting something like BlueStacks if you want to read on your computer. I think this a website glitch so I am sorry I am unable to do anything. Otherwise, enjoy.
A young Hispanic man was out on his day. Despite the hard economic times, he managed to set up a chain of restaurants in Southwestern Ontario. For a hobby, he would play his favourite card game, Yu-Gi-Oh! on a regular basis. One thing he did wish was for actual duel disks to makes things more fun. Although he wonders how long duels would go due to all the crazy combos lately. He strokes his beard and thought "The anime may have a bunch of bullshit, but many so many characters would not last long against modern decks. We don't play like MTG Commander after all." Despite the meta, he stuck with his Mathmech deck. Sometimes he would refer to them as Zanki at times. Unfortunately, since Circular was banned, his deck just ceased to exist. Except in Master Duel. He even made custom cards although he took special care not to make them overpowered when he decides to have custom battles with his playgroup. That of course does not mean he did not own other cards. Some cards he has collected included various of hand traps and legacy cards like Red Dragon Archfiend. But this is a story on Arc-V, so you may be wondering why we are talking about this guy? Well as in typical isekai fashion, he dies, but not by a truck. Rather from injuries just later from bear attack after he saved a young man who managed to get help. He would wake up in the typical dark room as well.
"Where am I?"
"Your in my realm," said a mysterious young female
"I guess I died then. But you seem familiar."
"I am not sure how I am, but all I can say is after Zarc and I were split, I suddenly found myself in touch with you."
"You must be Ray then."
"Yes. How do you know?" She asks
"There is a show in my world, but I can't quite remember the name all of sudden. I know you were a character though. But why I am here is what I do not understand."
"What if I told you I could give you a chance at returning to your old life if you help me?" She says
The man thinks about it. He vaguely remembers the anime she is from is quite dangerous, but he also wants to live. Although does that mean he dies once the mission is over?
"What are the terms?"
"You will be sent to the Link Dimension, and I will give you a bracelet to keep. For whatever reason, there is no counterpart of me or Zarc there. I do believe that he has a card of his there somewhere. Your will have a place to say and be a young adult who has completed his education. You will also be fluent in Japanese. To return home, you must defeat Academia and prevent Zarc from returning. If he does return, you must stop him. A warning I should give is I feel your presence has made many foes stronger than what you may have seen them as."
"Link Dimension? This interesting. I will do my best."
"Thank you, Christopher. Now we begin. I will not remember much of this conversation and will not be able to help much so I wish you the best. Maybe even help the fragments be happy with each other. Something I wish could have remained with me and Zarc."
(A white light engulfs them)
So, Christopher as he is called now has a major task ahead of him. Knowledge of Arc-V being somewhat available helps, but sudden changes means that he will have to be off-hands at times to keep a canon flow going in order to make things easier. Otherwise, if he does change things, he must be all in. As for his new life, his energy signals catch the eyes of Akira and the two form a good relationship with each other. This results in dimension travelling technology being made and the release of new summoning methods in the dimension. Christopher also gets his custom cards made. Now for his journey.
"Are you sure you want to go alone?" asks Akira
"Yes. While having someone like Go could help, I need things to go a certain way first. Also did you have the Rule Revision technology coded in?"
"I have. Duels will begin at 8000 LP and Master Rule 5 will be utilized." he replies
"Good."
And that is a wrap. 8000 LP will be used in later duels. Next chapter my character will enter a new dimension. For characters from Vrains, do not expect much from them right now as I want to minimize crowding to give current Arc-V characters their much needed development as seen in other fanfics. They will appear later albeit not as main characters.
