Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

In a corner of the city, a dim room was filled with the faint glow of a computer. Lin Hao was sitting in front of the computer, his hands skillfully operating the mouse and keyboard, immersed in the intense world of the game.

At that moment, his expression was tense and focused, his eyes fixed on the screen, and he muttered to himself, "Activate the Spell Card in my hand - [Xinyu's Wrath]. Its effect is: Select a face-up Elemental Hero on your field. Activate Xinyuxia. Return the selected [Elemental Hero] to the deck, and all cards on the field will be destroyed."

As he spoke passionately, the game situation on the screen changed dramatically. A triumphant smile instantly spread across Lin Hao's face, and he shouted, "Then I'll use Attack Position to summon [Elemental Hero Prism Man], who will attack the player directly."

"Hehe, little brat, now you know how powerful I am." Lin Hao leaned back slightly in front of the computer, his face full of pride, as if he had completely taken control of the entire game situation.

However, in his extreme excitement, he didn't notice that in the intense operation, he accidentally knocked over the mineral water bottle on the table. The clear water slowly flowed out and flowed directly into the power strip next to him.

At first, Lin Hao didn't notice the danger. But with a slight "sizzling" sound, the current instantly spread along the water. Lin Hao felt a sharp numbness in his body, and before he could react, he fell heavily to the ground.

The next day, major news media outlets reported on this tragic incident: "A young man was electrocuted to death while playing computer games late at night. We hope everyone will learn from this and learn from it..."

……

When Lin Hao regained consciousness, he was shocked to find himself lying on a hospital bed. The clean white sheets, the faint smell of disinfectant in the air, and the soft sunlight filtering in from the window all made him feel dazed.

He tried hard to raise his head, but he felt his head was as heavy as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and a strong feeling of dizziness suddenly hit him.

He rolled his eyes slightly, his gaze landing on the bedside cabinet, where he saw some medical equipment and his personal belongings. The room was eerily quiet, the only sound being the ticking of the wall clock.

Lin Hao couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Why does this feel like a hospital?"

At this moment, Lin Hao felt a sharp pain in his brain without any warning, as if countless steel needles were piercing deeply. The pain was so severe that soon Lin Hao fell asleep again.

In that chaotic dream, Lin Hao saw a boy named Lin Hao. Memories of his childhood and adulthood flashed before his eyes like slides. Surprisingly, the world this boy lived in was incredibly similar to the anime "Yu-Gi-Oh!" that Lin Hao was familiar with.

In this world, people are crazy about card duels. They can even use the duel disks in their hands to project the monsters on the cards vividly. This level of high technology is simply beyond imagination.

Even the school's curriculum, in addition to the regular Chinese and mathematics, has specially added a course on monster card knowledge.

Lin Hao also further learned that various strange monsters or mysterious secret realms would often appear suddenly, bringing a certain degree of impact to human normal life.

However, the humans in this world have become able to skillfully harness the power of cards, and through in-depth research, have successfully crafted the magical abilities contained in monsters or various secret realms into cards, thereby greatly enhancing the strength of humanity itself.

Seeing these, Lin Hao couldn't help but feel yearning in his heart. You know, he himself was a senior Yu-Gi-Oh player in his original world. He dare not say that he knows all kinds of cards well, but he has indeed mastered a lot of card matching techniques from his previous life.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Lin Hao vaguely felt as if someone was whispering his name in his ear.

"Student Lin Hao...?"

"Student Lin Hao, are you awake yet?"

At this moment, Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a girl in school uniform with a neat ponytail.

At this moment, the girl saw Lin Hao wake up, and a joyful smile suddenly bloomed on her face. She said happily, "Lin Hao, you are finally awake. During the morning exercises, you suddenly fainted without any warning. Other students took you to the school clinic, and the doctor said you had heatstroke. Are you feeling better now?"

Without waiting for Lin Hao to answer, the girl continued to ask with a concerned look on her face.

At this time, Lin Hao's mind was still a little confused, because the girl in front of him was exactly the classmate of the boy named Lin Hao whom he saw in his dream.

But in real life, I am already a otaku who is almost 30 years old, and there has never been such a girl around me.

Lin Hao replied subconsciously: "Better."

Then, Lin Hao asked tentatively: "Are you Huang Yao?"

Huang Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes, then reached out and touched Lin Hao's forehead and said, "You don't seem to have a fever, so how come you don't even recognize me, the squad leader?"

Lin Hao said innocently, "Of course the squad leader knows him. He was a little confused because of sleep."

Huang Yao nodded slightly, not seeming to take the question too seriously, and then continued: "Then can you get up now? Do you want me to ask for leave for you this afternoon?"

Lin Hao thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "No, I'm completely fine and can continue my classes in the afternoon." After all, he had just arrived in this new world, and Lin Hao knew that he needed more time to understand everything here.

Huang Yao nodded and said, "Okay, then you take a good rest here. I'll go back to class."

"Okay, take care, squad leader."

After Huang Yao left, Lin Hao shook his still dizzy head and muttered to himself, "Did I really travel through time? Everything here is too real. It doesn't feel like a dream at all."

Lin Hao slowly stood up and tried to take a few steps cautiously.

Seeing this, the doctor next to him hurried over and asked, "Student, wouldn't you like to rest a little longer?"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "It's okay, doctor. I feel like I've fully recovered."

The doctor nodded, turned and left without saying anything more.

After walking a few steps, Lin Hao came to a wash basin. Through the mirror above the wash basin, Lin Hao saw a young man in school uniform, full of vigor and very handsome. This young man's appearance was somewhat similar to his own.

"Yeah, this body, this appearance, it's definitely mine." Lin Hao murmured narcissistically.
