<span style="font-weight:400">Wow! I got a Pot of Greed. That’s a good card.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well now I got cards, how do I use them. Support system can you exin.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Yes Master. Cards are used by holding one in your hand and saying its name.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay. And what do the cards do?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Monster cards summon a monster to fight for you. Spell and trap cards activate a magical effect that depends on the card.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Makes sense. So what do the spells I got do?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(‘Sparks’ deals damage to all enemies in target area. ‘Dragon Treasure’ permanently boosts the power of 1 dragon. ‘Mountain’ powers up all dragon, winged beast and thunder monsters under the user for 1 hour. ‘Pot of Greed’ grants 2 ‘pack tokens’.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“So I can get more packs with it. Pot of Greed rocks. So to use it, I just hold it in my hand and say its name.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Yes Master.)
<span style="font-weight:400">I grab the floating Pot of Greed card from the pack opening menu and feel it in my hand. It feels just like I remember. I guess this world can recreate the cards urately. Or are they just teleported here?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hey system support. Do you know, are these cards made by the world or teleported here from my world?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(No information avable.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well I thought as much. Not like it really matters. It does suck a little if they are some knockoff cards, but what you gonna do. I mean it’s not like someone wille and tell me my cards are fake.”
<span style="font-weight:400">As I look closely at the card in my hand, the pack opener menu minimizes to the left corner of my vision. I guess I really just have to go for it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I activate Pot of Greed! It allows me to draw 2 cards!”
<span style="font-weight:400">(No it does not Master. It makes you gain 2 ‘pack tokens’.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Come on. It’s just a reference. Next you are gonna tell me that pot of greed is banned.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(I do not understand what you mean by a card being banned.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“It has things to do with the game these cards were made for.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Understood.)

<span style="font-weight:400">The machine sounding voice said in my head. Nice, more packs for me. More chances to get Blue-Eyes. As I think that the Pot of Greed card in my hand vanishes.
<span style="font-weight:400">As I’m about to ask the system about the card vanishing…
<span style="font-weight:400">Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang
<span style="font-weight:400">Loud banging began to ring from one wall of the cave. Like many people were trying to brake through a wall.
<span style="font-weight:400">“System support, what is that banging?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Monsters of the dungeon are trying to break in to kill whoever destroyed the dungeon core. It is a reflex of the dungeon to set all monsters inside to maximum hostility just before their death to get revenge on their killer. Normally it is not a problem because the person who destroys the dungeon core would have to make their way through the dungeon and that would cut down the number of monsters. But Master is a special case.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“So, me appearing here and killing the dungeon is why all the monsters in the dungeon are now after me. Great!”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Yes Master. This is not a great ce to be at the moment.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“So system, can you tell what monsters areing and how many of them are there?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(There are goblins and kobolds. Total number at the door is 52. 138 more are in the dungeon making their way to this room.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well that’s just great, isn’t it. Almost 200 enemies against just me. Fuck my life.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Good luck Master.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you hoping I will die? What will happen to you if I die anyway?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(If Master dies I will also die with you. I am part of the system that is linked with you for life, so your death means my death.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then why are you so passive aggressive. Can you at least help mee up with a n before that walles down?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(I rmend summoning a monster. Goblins and kobolds are weakpared to monsters in Masters cards.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, that makes sense. Actually, how strong is a goblinpared to my cards?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(It would be around 50 atk and 20 def.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then why in the world does Goblin attack force have 2300 attack.”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Data not avable on card ‘Goblin attack force’. Cannot answer.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well not like it matters at the moment. What monster would you rmend I summon?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(‘Uraby’ or ‘Frenzied Panda’ rmended. They have a good bnce of attack and defense. They will also be capable of taking attention away from Master. Additionally, use of ‘Sparks’ can thin out the herd of goblins and kobolds. They should die from 1 hit from ‘Sparks’.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay. So sparks, panda and dino.”
<span style="font-weight:400">As I say that I grab the 3 cards from my pack opening menu, holding them in my right hand. Then I close the pack opening menu so it doesn’t distract me.
<span style="font-weight:400">“We can do this. How does monster summoning even work? Is it different from a spell?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Monster is summoned by holding its card in your hand and saying its name. You must keep the card in your hand while the monster is summoned or it gets automatically unsummoned. You can only hold one summoned monster card in each hand.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“So only a total of 2 monsters at once. That’s not that many, but I’ll deal with it. Can I activate spell cards while a monster is summoned?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Spell and trap cards can be used normally while a monster is summoned.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good. I think we are ready to go. How long will it take for the monsters to break that wall anyway?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Estimated time for wall breaking is 140 seconds.)
<span style="font-weight:400">Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang
<span style="font-weight:400">Well the banging had definitely increased so the number of monsters by the door probably has as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">“How many monsters will be by the door when the wall breaks down?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(Estimation is 105. At most it should be 120.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“And will sparks kill all 105 of them?”
<span style="font-weight:400">(No. If ‘Sparks’nds well it will kill around 70 monsters.)
<span style="font-weight:400">“So up to 50 survivors and another 70 in the dungeon after that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I pull up my pack opening menu again and take Skull Red Bird and Kagemusha of the Blue me cards out. I put the 2 cards in my right and left pockets for quick ess. I really hope I don’t have to use all of them for this escape but I will do what I must to survive.
<span style="font-weight:400">As I think that a panel appears.
