It was now the day after I woke up from my evolution. We would have to eventually leave the dungeon, and go back to iing with other people, but it would still take me a few days to make sure this dungeon would be unquerable. Well, it already basically is, but it could be just a bit more difficult. I’d like to have at least five SS-rank monsters proteg it, instead of just one. So because of that, I asked for us to stay a bit longer. It also allowed me to get familiar with the dungeon’s properties.

  It holy could do a ton. One of my favorite features was its ability to alter its size freely, by bending space. … bad expnation. What I meant is that the ‘overworld’ size, or the size the dungeon appeared to be when looked at from the outside, didn’t have to match the inside size. This was something I already thought might be the case, because of all of those forest and other enviroal floors, but it went a lot further than that.

  If I wao, I could press this entire dungeon into something that was ner than a standard single family home. I could potentially go even further, taking it to the size of being only the size of a single room, when looked at from the outside, while at the same time being the same size ihe dungeon. That is some space magic heresy right there. … but maintaining that spatial pression took a ton of mana, so it wasn’t perfect. And the cost would ramp up, the more I pressed it. That is why I could only press the dungeon into something the size of a house. That was the spot where the dungeon’s natural mana recovery and the cost of keeping the pression up would meet. But of course that would mean I’ll have no ma over for anything else, so I won’t be doing that.

  And while I do have that one crazy idea, I think it will have to wait a bit. Because at this moment, I want to open some packs. I just feel like doing so.

  Joined on the couch by Alid Lua, I was just going to do some of every of the newer packs I had. The Lost Millennium, Cyberic Revolution and Elemental Energy. Maybe like ten of each, then just leave the fully pleting of them to Laura. Maybe.

  But let’s just start.

  Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of ‘The Lost Millennium’[Yes] [No]I haven’t opened any Lost Millennium packs with Alid Lua. I only opened some with Laura, Tahlia and Fantasia. Let’s hope we get something good. Maybe Thunder Giant and .

  SpoilerTLM 1

  Lone Wolf, Battery Charger, Aussa the Earth Charmer, Medusa Worm, Elemental HERO Burstinatrix, Doriado's Blessing, Batteryman AA, Hieracosphinx, Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button

  [colpse]Oh yeah. Batterman AA is in this set. I did get o time, but I never really thought about it. sidering that I summon way too many of the same monster, I could do something like summon ten Batterman AA and have all of them be at 10,000 attack.

  “Brian? Isn’t this the hero you used in a fusion?” Alice asked, pointing out Burstinatrix.

  “Yeah. I did. Well done spotting it.” I plimented her, sidering Alice had all of five seds to take in Burstinatrix before it was ed by the Polymerization vortex. “A lot of the HERO monsters like fusions, so that does happen a lot. Remember when I told you about archetypes. Well, HEROes are a fusion based archetype, so they have a lot of fusions.”

  “What kind of archetype are Vampires?” Lua then asked. “If these archetypes are good at something, what are they good at?”

  “Well, if I recall correctly, they are good at ing back from the GY, like most Zombies are, and they also pay life points for their effects, while rec life points when they deal damage, almost like they are sug the oppos blood to recover. They also have this mill effect, which isn’t that good in more modern decks.”

  “Mill? What does milling have to do with this?”

  “... it's just a term used to describe sending cards from the deck to the GY.”

  “oh? Alright… But why would that not be good? And why would it be good?”

  “Well, it es down to the game you py with the cards. One way to win is to mill, or deck out, the oppo. If you ot draw a card, either when a card forces them to do so, or during their draw phase, you lose the duel. So if you mill cards from your oppos deck, they might deck out, and you will win. But a lot of decks want to have a lot of cards in the GY, so it isn’t that good.”

  “Why would you want to have cards in the grave?” Alice asked.

  “While I don’t have that many of them, some cards have effects that only be activated when they are in the GY. Because of that, you might want them there, instead of in your deck.” I expined. “You’ll uand more if we ever actually py some games. But let’s get back to the packs for now.”

  I decided t us ba track, before I expiire game to them. In all hoy, it will be so much easier to just learn as we go, instead of throwing out all of these terms and ditions at the start. That is how you get overwhelmed.

  So, pack.

  SpoilerTLM 2

  Aussa the Earth Charmer, Wynn the Wind Charmer, Moai Interceptor ons, Hiita the Fire Charmer, Lone Wolf, Elemental HERO , Doriado's Blessing, Medusa Worm, Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button

  [colpse]“And there is the .” I ented.

  “Why is that important?” Alice asked.

  “I just didn’t have it yet. And I do for Thunder Giant. … not that I have a Thunder Gia, but hopefully I get one.”

  “Yes. Hopefully.”

  SpoilerTLM 3

  Guardian Statue, Double Attack, Dummy Golem, Grave Lure, Elemental HERO Avian, Pikeru's Sed Sight, Final Ritual of the As, King of the Skull Servants, Elemental Mistress Doriado

  [colpse]Elemental Mistress Doriado, huh. That’s an iing card. I wonder if I could do something funny with her. She is treated as having five attributes, so maybe?

  “... Brian? Why are you looking at that card like that?” Lua asked. “... do you just … like blond hair that much?”

  “I appreciate any color of hair, you know.” I told her, as I brought my hand closer to her hair. I stopped just a few timeters away, a Lua press her head into my hand, before softly running my hand through her hair. “It isn’t about the color. Or the length. It is about the person it grows from.” … wow. That sounded better in my head. Well, it isn’t a bad thing to say, but it still sounded wrong.

  “Brian! Mioo.” Alice demanded, as she pushed her head into me.

  “Sure.” I agreed.

  I stroked both of the girls' hair, and navigated Pack Opener with my mind. pack, let’s go.

  SpoilerTLM 4

  Shifting Shadows, Guardian Statue, Elemental HERO , Battery Charger, Moai Interceptor ons, Elemental HERO Avian, Lost Guardian, A Gear Soldier, Legendary Bck Belt

  [colpse]“Is that the golem you used against Mariina?” Lua asked.

  “No. I used A Gear Golem, not Soldier. Golem is quite a ler than Soldier, and Golem doesn’t have a gun.”

  “Oh? I see.” Lua muttered. “But this … set does seem to have a lot of golems, doesn’t it?”

  “Yeah. I guess it does.”

  And we get some more, because it is time for the pack.

  SpoilerTLM 5

  Imperable Formation, Batteryman AA, Medusa Worm, Mispolymerization, Kaminote Blow, Eria the Water Charmer, Pikeru's Sed Sight, Aussa the Earth Charmer, Millennium Scorpion

  [colpse]Millennium Scorpion, huh. It isn’t bad, but not something I really want to use. But maybe I could use it as a moo protect this dungeon. Feed it like ten monsters, and it will be s that no one beat it.

  Well, I’ll think about it.

  SpoilerTLM 6

  Pikeru's Sed Sight, Double Attack, King of the Skull Servants, Elemental HERO , Mispolymerization, Moai Interceptor ons, Imperable Formation, Dummy Golem, Nitro Unit

  [colpse]Well, that is all repeats, .

  SpoilerTLM 7

  Lone Wolf, Elemental HERO Avian, Level version Lab, Wynn the Wind Charmer, Minefield Eruption, White Ninja, Double Attack, Hero Signal, Elemental HERO Thunder Giant

  [colpse]“There it is. Thunder Giant. Nice.”

  “Is it that good? It has quite low attack, right? It is only as strong as my Red-Eyes Bck Dragon, so it would lose to Dark Magi and Buster Bder, right? And Dark Padin would just … easily defeat it, wouldn’t it?”

  “... well yes, but it is still a good card.” I told her. “It isn’t always just about the number. Equip spells easily make up that difference. … but yeah. Evehunder Giant is no Dark Padin. I just like how he looks.”

  Hero Signal is also iing. I think, and this is just a theory, but I think I use it to farm HERO monsters. Summon a HERO, have a monster destroy it by battle, activate Signal, Signal gives me a random HERO monster. Use something to recover the HERO lost in battle, or just wait until its death cooldown is over. It is a bit cruel, but it should work, I think.

  Anyway. Before these crazy ideas take over, pack.

  SpoilerTLM 8

  Lone Wolf, Batteryman AA, Pikeru's Sed Sight, Monk Fighter, Moai Interceptor ons, Des Wombat, Doriado's Blessing, Aussa the Earth Charmer, Grave Ohja

  [colpse]Well, at least Grave Ohja is hat is all I’m going to say about that. .

  SpoilerTLM 9

  Elemental HERO Burstinatrix, Elemental HERO Sparkman, King of the Skull Servants, Mispolymerization, Eria the Water Charmer, Battery Charger, Double Attack, Aussa the Earth Charmer, Royal Surrender

  [colpse]Again, at least Royal Surrender is good. It still isn’t that great, but I guess it is at least better than Grave Ohja. . This will be the st pack of The Lost Millenium for today, so let’s hope for something good.

  SpoilerTLM 10

  Batteryman AA, Elemental HERO , King of the Skull Servants, Mispolymerization, Hiita the Fire Charmer, Medusa Worm, Lone Wolf, A Gear Golem, Mid Shield Gardna

  [colpse]“And there is the Gear Golem. That is a great get, before we move to another set.”

  “... isn’t it … strohan a Blue-Eyes White Dragon?” Alice asked.

  “Well, I guess it does have more defense, but their attacks are the same, so… in a way, yes.”

  Anyway, time to ge sets. Time for some Cyberic Revolution. Could use a Cyber Dragon. Or three. I want to summon that End Dragon I got.

  SpoilerCRV 1

  Fusion Recovery, A Rival Appears!, Jetroid, Drillroid, Des Croaking, Cyberic Cyclopean, Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane, Patroid, D.D.M. - Different Dimension Master

  [colpse]Well, that is already all repeats, .

  SpoilerCRV 2

  Prepare to Strike Back, Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei, Poison Draw Frog, Spiritual Water Art - Aoi, Des Frog, Dragon's Mirror, T.A.D.P.O.L.E., Mad Lobster, Wroughtweiler

  [colpse]Well, at least Wroughtweiler is new. And it isn’t awful, it is just… not something I need. But it is a meical good boy, so it would still get headpats.

  Maybe I pull Skyscraper, so I make a HERO room in the factory.

  SpoilerCRV 3

  Protective Soul Ailin, Patroid, Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai, Steam Gyroid, Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane, Ebon Magi Curran, Des Croaking, Batteryman C, Dark Catapulter

  [colpse]Another pack of repeats. Ebon Magi Curran might be something I could give to Alice, but at the same time, I’m not sure how I feel about her studying under a sadistic whip wielder. I don’t really want to get whipped.

  .

  SpoilerCRV 4

  Shien's Spy, Spiritual Water Art - Aoi, Fusion Recovery, Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei, T.A.D.P.O.L.E., Steamroid, Batteryman C, UFOroid, Transdent Wings

  [colpse]UFOroid and Transdent Wings. Not bad. Well, UFOroid is still mediocre, but I could maybe use it in some things. Also, why is it level 6? That thing really should have been level 4, like basically every other ‘When this card is destroyed by battle ao the Graveyard, you Special Summon 1 xxx-Type monster with 1500 or less ATK from your De face-up Attack Position.’ Like holy. Who gave this UFO two extra stars? Or did it bring those stars from outer space?

  “... Brian… Those wings… Could they be the ones I had in my dream?” Lua asked, pointing out the Transdent Wings.

  “... I suppose they could be. But you are the one who saw yourself, so I ’t really tell. I have Laura and Mia look into what installing that will do, if you’d like.”

  “... no. We wait.”

  “Sure. If you don’t want to.”

  But I know what I want. pack.

  SpoilerCRV 5

  Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi, Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai, Steam Gyroid, Fusion Recovery, Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane, Des Croaking, Doitsu, Spiritual Water Art - Aoi, Elemental HERO Bubbleman

  [colpse]All four of the Spiritual Arts in one pack. Cool. But they are all still repeats, so… pack.

  SpoilerCRV 6

  Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai, Steamroid, Steam Gyroid, Soitsu, Poison Draw Frog, Cyberic Cyclopean, scription, Dragon's Mirror, Fire Darts

  [colpse]Fire Darts is new. And it might actually… okay, let’s be ho. It is trash, but at least it is better than it is in the Card Game. Maybe.

  .

  SpoilerCRV 7

  Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei, Jerry Beans Man, Doitsu, scription, Drillroid, Shien's Spy, Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane, Dimension Wall, Cyber Twin Dragon

  [colpse]“Is that … no. It only has two heads, and doesn’t have wings.” Lua said, as she noticed the Cyber Twin Dragon.

  “Yeah. Cyber Dragon has both a double and a triple fusion. End Dragohree, while Twiwo. … but I still don’t have any Cyber Dragons, so I ’t summon them.”

  “Let’s hope we get some then.” Alice said.

  “Yes. Let’s.” I agreed.

  SpoilerCRV 8

  Meical Hound, scription, Fusion Recovery, A Rival Appears!, Jerry Beans Man, Des Croaking, Doitsu, Cycroid, D.D. Trap Hole

  [colpse]Another pack of repeats. .

  SpoilerCRV 9

  Jerry Beans Man, scriptioroid, Shien's Spy, T.A.D.P.O.L.E., Steamroid, Mad Lobster, Pot of Generosity, Spark Bster

  [colpse]Another pack of repeats. But Spark Bster actually gave me an idea. Maybe I reverse engi and make a taser, or something. And sidering ark Bster does, it might actually be good.

  Well, add that to my ToDo list. pack. Last of Cyberic Revolution for today. Let’s get that Cyber Dragon, or at least a Skyscraper.

  SpoilerCRV 10

  Giant Kozaky, T.A.D.P.O.L.E., Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai, Des Croaking, Poison Draw Frog, Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei, Ebon Magi Curran, Jerry Beans Man, Miracle Fusion

  [colpse]… nope. But I did get a Miracle Fusion as a sotion prize, so not all is bad. Miracle Fusion is a great card when pying Yugioh, but it isn’t that great for me. I just get the materials and Poly out of my colle and summon the fusion I want to summon, without having to banish anything.

  Anyway. I think a short snack break is in order, the’s do ten packs of Elemental Energy.

  SpoilerEEN 1

  Familiar-Possessed - Eria, Boss Rush, Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World, Hydrogeddoher Wind, Nanobreaker, Reborn Zombie, Sillva, Warlord of Dark World, Jack's Knight

  [colpse]Well, starting off strong with the Ultimate Rare Jack’s Knight. Sadly I already have a Rare Jack’s Knight, so all it really serves is colle purposes, but that isn’t the cards fault. And at the end of the day, a plete colle is a good colle. And maybe I use Jack’s Knight as my sword teacher?

  SpoilerEEN 2

  Familiar-Possessed - Eria, Ojamagianobreaker, Infernal Ior, Non-Fusion Area, Reborn Zombie, Gateway to Dark World, Water Dragon, Brron, Mad King of Dark World

  [colpse]Followed by a Super Rare Water Dragon. It isn’t that I don’t like them, but I’d appreciate it more if they were something I don’t have, instead of being different rarity printings of cards I already do have. Please. Do up my SR and UR slots with repeats.

  SpoilerEEN 3

  Familiar-Possessed - Wynn, Level Modution, Boss Rush, Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World, Chthonian Polymer, Zure, Knight of Dark World, Bonding - H2O, V-Tiger Jet, King's Knight

  [colpse]Well, at least Wynn is new. King’s Knight is not. Give me the Queen. I don’t have that o.

  SpoilerEEN 4

  The Forces of Darkness, Bde Skater, Zure, Knight of Dark World, Etoile Cyber, The League of Uniform ure, Roll Out!, Branch!, Scarr, Scout of Dark World, Feather Shot

  ! !

  SpoilerEEN 5

  Roll Out!, Branch!, Familiar-Possessed - Eria, Familiar-Possessed - Hiita, Chthonian Polymer, The League of Uniform ure, Ojamuscle, Queen's Knight, Elemental HERO Bdedge

  [colpse]Okay. What is that? I ask you to go away, and ihe League of Uniform ure just es back, but brings Bdedge and Queen’s Knight as apology gifts? Are y to bribe me into liking you? … fine. Bribe accepted. You are a good card, and you don’t have to go away.

  But I do still want the pack.

  SpoilerEEN 6

  Non-Fusion Area, Feather Wind, V-Tiger Jet, Bonding - H2O, Infernal Ior, Hydrogeddon, VW-Tiger Catapult, Level Modution, Jack's Knight

  [colpse]All repeats here, .

  SpoilerEEN 7

  Dark World Lightning, Familiar-Possessed - Hiita, Hydrogeddon, Ojamuscle, W-Wing Catapult, Chthonian Polymer, Boss Rush, Pot of Avarice, King's Knight

  [colpse]Pot of Avariiot only is it a new Super Rare, it is also super useful. I use it to return stuff from my GY to the colle, g out their death cooldown. And I eve pack tokens while doing so. Sure I already had some from the Mae Re-Volt Structure Deck, but I’ll take it.

  Three more. .

  SpoilerEEN 8

  Weed Out, Familiar-Possessed - Wynn, Elemental HERO Wildheart, Ojamuscle, Level Modution, Dark Deal, Nanobreaker, Roll Out!, Armed ger

  [colpse]Another repeat paext.

  SpoilerEEN 9

  Simultaneous Loss, Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World, Branch!, Ojamagic, Elemental HERO Wildheart, Oxygeddon, Level Modution, Queen's Knight, Hero Barrier

  [colpse]Well, this one isn’t. Hero Barrier, huh. Not bad, not bad. Sadly, e Attack is just so much better, that I’ll never use it, but at least it is not a repeat.

  One more to go. Let’s see if the Goddess bless me with one more SR or UR.

  SpoilerEEN 10

  Oxygeddon, Boss Rush, Feather Wind, Familiar-Possessed - Hiita, Scarr, Scout of Dark World, The League of Uniform ure, Branch!, Feather Shot, Cyber Bder

  [colpse]

  She ! She most definitely . Cyber Bder is actually great. And while the effect gains based on the number of oppos might not be the best, because she ’t have all three effects at the same time, it is still great. Definitely going to summon her soon.

  Hoy, what a way to call it a day. Great packs are great.

  Tomorrow… Well, I think I might look at that oructure deck I got access to… maybe.

  (Laura, you take over those sets now. Please get all the cards from them. And make sure I have a good number of Cyber Dragons.) I requested.

  (Of course. I’ll have it done in the ing days.)
