After we had fihe detailed report on the dungeon (because it took a while), it was now lunch time.
Alid I followed her two aunts into the informal dining room. Well, I call it that, but in most houses, this would be the formal dining room. So, I guess this is more of a family dining room. And there is also a party dining room.
I do have to question what size parties do nobility throw, as this dining room had a table that could seat a total of 12 people. 5 on each side and o ead.
Angelina took the first seat on the … well, if you look from the head of the table that is farther away from the door, on the left side. So for the oting at the head of the table (which I assume is the pce for the earl), she is the first on the left. Then oy seat, Paulina and they told Alice to sit o her.
I was seated on the middle seat oher side, so I posite Paulina.
Before lunch was brought to us, three more people joined us at the table.
The first one was a small boy, probably 9 or 10 years old, that sat between Angelina and Paulina. Based on the small versation Angelina had with him, he is Angelina’s son and he spent the m studying. Not magic, but some kind of general knowledge.
The st two that joined us were the earl and his wife. I have to say, they look great for their age. Based on the fact that Angelina seems to be right around 40, they should be ie 50s or early 60s. But as I already said, they don’t look like it at all. The wife especially looks like she could be the older sister of Angelina, instead of her mother.
You could also see where the family gets its blond hair from. While the earl had light brown hair, his wife’s hair tinum blond.
For lunch, we had some sort of eat, or at least something close to it. It was somewhat simir to the bison I hunted actually, so maybe it was biso. For sides, we didn’t actually have potatoes, even though they were basically the norm ich. Instead, we had some broccoli gratin and mashed eggpnts. I actually have never had eggpnt before, but it was det. By the way, Laura was the ohat identified the eggpnt.
After the introdus, (the earls name is Thomas, his wife is Elnora or El and Angelina’s son is Jonathan, but Paulina calls him ‘little Johnny’ or ‘little Jon’) Thomas asked about how our trip went. I had thought so earlier, but apparently they had gotten a letter from Christina about us ing. I guess if they sent an express delivery on the day ted the quest, they could easily get a letter here in time. And there is the whatever the adventurer’s guild uses for their unication as well.
As my version would likely be more b, and holy I wao hear Alice tell about it from her point of view, I let Alice tell about our journey.
“You fought an orc? I want to try that.” Jonathan said when Alice told them about the orc we ran into.
“No, you won’t.” Angelina said. “You are not eveely ready for something like that.”
“I could summon an orc for you to fight.” I offered, after I firmed I actually have a Giant Or my colle.
“No. Don’t tempt him.” Angelina said.
“No. Let me try. Please. I’ll beat an orc for sure.” Jonathan said.
“I heard you summon some strahings, but I didn’t hear about an orc. That’s usually more in line for a tamer.” Thomas ented.
So you tame an orc? Well, I guess if you look at it as a bipedal pig. And pigs follow food.
“Is it that bad to let him try?” I asked. “As long as I trol my summon, he won’t die.”
“So you are fih a perma injury? Is that what you are saying?” Angelina asked.
“Define a perma injury. Because I’ve seen some bad wounds get healed. Whether it be a wound from a wyvern's tail or burns caused by lightning sprites. All healed without even leaving a scar.” I said.
“There is also damage that ot be seen.” Elnora said. “Mental damage be terrifying and long sting.”
Oh yeah. I guess there is that as well. Probably shouldn’t summon an orc then. Even if Giant Orc has 0 defe probably still won’t go down i. Or perhaps it does. I have no idea. But if it nds a hit on a 10 year old, that will most likely be deadly. Something like a Skull Servant would probably be a better practice partner for Jonathan.
But I don’t have any at the moment, as they have all been sacked for sleeves.
“May I tih the story?” Alice asked.
“Yes. Please do.” Thomas said.
“How did you survive a spirit on?” Thomas asked, as Alice told that part of our travel.
“I have detly high defense and a skill that raises it even further.” I answered.
“Perhaps you would be willing to show us?” Thomas asked.
“Sure, I . But after the meal.” I responded. I holy expected that they would ask for my status, so I don’t mind sharing it.
We finished our lund Alice fihe story about our trip, not that there was much left after the duel.
“Brian, if you would.” Thomas said.
After the meal, we had moved to his study, so I could show him (and some others) my status without anyone unwanted seeing it.
Well, out of the group that ate with me, the only one I didn’t want seeing it was Jonathan. Not because I’m trying to be evil to kids or something, but because he is a kid. And kids ’t keep secrets.
“Status open.” I said to open my status.
Name: Brian WoodRace: Human !Level: 38HP: 870Mana: 91th: 235Defense: 515Magic: 295 Skills: Pack Opener LV.4 (uelekinesis LV.1 (extra)Summoner’s Prote LV.2 (extra)Dungeon Founder (extra)Summon Water Spirit (extra)Health scious (extra) Mana trol LV.1Shining Taunt LV.1 Water Spirit’s Blessing (Greater)Language prehension (humanoid)
“He really has it.” Thomas said, as his eyes widened in an unnatural way. Holy, it looks like they are about to pop out of their sockets.
“An angel has e to visit our humble home.” Elnora said.
“He has five extra skills and even a unique skill.” Paulina was caught up in something else.
“And a greater blessing from a spirit.” Angelina added.
… this is awkward. I almost feel like I should have asked Laura to hide my skills. That way, they would only ogle at my System Support.
That actually brings up a good point. I’ve shown my status to some amount of people, but they never react to the Language prehension title skill thing. Is it that on or something?
(It is detly on.) Laura said. (But it does e in different forms, humanoid, beast, monster, dragon, and plete. The plete form is somewhat rare, but one of the others be found in right around one in ten people.) [As in, one in ten people have one form of Language prehension.]
I see. So it’s that on. Then I guess it not being surprising isn’t that strange.
As I returo reality, I noticed the two older nobles were now kneeling in front of me.
… what do I do now? Why are they kneeling? Because I have System Support? They really o stop. Will they get up if I ask?
“You don’t have to do that.” I said carefully. “Please get up.”
“If that is your will.” Thomas said, as he got up. “But if you ever need anything, please feel free to order us in whatever way you see fit. We will do anything within our power to be of use to you.”
…
Really? Excessive much? Look at your daughters. Even they are looking at you, eyes wide.
“That’s not necessary.” I said. “I do appreciate the offer, but this is just too much.”
“Are you saying we are not enough? In that case, we help you get in tact with the King.” Thomas said.
“No! That’s exactly the opposite of what I just said.” I said, getting holy a bit flustered.
“Then what should I do?” Thomas asked.
“Just … just don’t go too far. Anything within your power is just excessive. Just a little bit of help is more than enough.” I said, hopefully getting Thomas to uand where I want to stand.
“As you wish.” Thomas said. “Then, would helping you like I help my children be good?”
“Yes. I think that might be an appropriate level.” I said. I hope he doesn’t dote ooo much, but based on what I know, it shouldn’t be that bad.
Thanks to Angelina taking care of her parents, I was able to get out of their grasp before they went ba their word. Paulina guided us back to Angelina’s study and asked us to wait there for her. She then rushed off somewhere.
… well, that was something.
(Master, as I believe this is a det time, I’ll inform you that you have a tact request from Miss Lucia.) Laura said.
(Oh, Lua wanted me for something? But she didn’t send a message directly to me?) I wonder why she would do that.
(Mistress Lucia knew you were meeting with nobles and didn’t want to bother you.) Lua’s System Support said. So she has invaded my head again. Do System Supports not have anythier to do than to just listen in ohoughts of all people they are ected to?
(She only hear you, if you are actively talking to me.) Laura said. (She ot hear your thoughts like I .) 1[Again, to specify, Laura hear basically everything that goes on in Brian’s mind, but Lua’s System Support only hear the versatioween Brian and Laura. Basically the things ihe (brackets).]
(I see. Well then, I guess I should tact Lua. Is she busy with anything? I tact her a bit ter if she is.) I asked, hoping to get an answer from her System Support.
(Yes, she is. I’ll tact you again once Mistress is avaible.) Lua’s System Support said.
(I see. I’ll be waiting.) I said.
“Alice, how do you feel about opening the packs?” I asked Alice. We were in a private enough pd we had some time to spare.
“Yes. Let’s do it.” Alice agreed.
“Pack Opener, open.” I said to pull up my skill so that Alice see it.
[Pack Opener] [Colle][Sleeve maker][Summoning Challenge][Promo Trade] (+2)[Instrus][Set lists][Open Packs]Daily Pack tokens: 18Current Pack tokens: 18Avaible packs :Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragoal RaidersMagic RulerPharaoh’s ServantLabyrinth of NightmareLegacy of DarknessPharaonic GuardianMagi’s ForceDark CrisisInvasion of ChaosA SanctuarySoul of the DuelistRise of DestinyFmiernityDaily Reprint Tokens: 3Current Reprint Tokens: 3Avaible Repris:Dark Beginning 1Dark Revetion Volume 1Dark Beginning 2
There was a +2 o my promo trade, as I had gotten two new sets, more like mis, open there, but I let it be for now. I do want to get that Shining Dragon, but I ’t actually summon it. Yet.
“What are we opening today?” Alice asked. I think she is almost getting used to this.
“Soul of the Duelist.” I answered. “It has a card called Level Up. I think that might do some funny things.”
“Level up? Does it level you up?” Alice asked.
“I think so, but I o get oo test it out.” I said.
“You test it on me.” Alice offered herself as a test dummy.
“No, I’ll test it on myself first.” I said. “But if it works, I don’t mind using it on you as well.” I added. Assuming I evehe on I want. A’s be ho here, ons are more rare than most rare cards. At least for me.
Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Soul of the Duelist’[Yes] [No]First pack, let’s go.
SpoilerSOD 1
Bck Dragon's Chick, Ritual on, Skull Dog Marron, Level Up!, Taunt, Dark Factory of Mass Produ, Ninjitsu Art of Decoy, Enraged Muka Muka, Rafflesia Sedu
[colpse]
You know, sometimes I’m just wrong. First pack Level Up! Nice.
“We got one!” Alice said excitedly. “Let’s use it right away.”
“... No. Let’s at least open the rest of the packs first. We might get more copies of it. I’ll also have to make a toploader for it.” I said back.
“Fine. I’ll wait.” Alice agreed.
Other than Level Up, Rafflesia Sedu is actually super ’s a flip monster so I set it. And it takes trol of an oppo, so I use it as a defensive card that doesn’t hurt anyone. Physically. Mentally, having a monster flower g onto your face like an alien facehugger would be terrifying.
Muka Muka is a det beater, but I don’t really . Ritual on is not actually that bad, but I ’t install it onto BLS. I guess Performance of Sword is level 6, so I could install it into her.
Installing Taunt might result in a skill like Shining taunt, or perhaps some other variant of the taunt skill. I do recall Laura tellihat there are a few different versions, and mine is good against monsters. There was also ohat is good on people and ohat was a meneral one.
There is also Bck Dragon’s Chid I could use it to get more copies of Red-Eyes, but at the same time, Red-Eyes is not Blue-Eyes, so I don’t care that much.
pack.
SpoilerSOD 2
Bck Dragon's Chick, Big Wave Small Wave, Enraged Muka Muka, Howling I, Dark Factory of Mass Produalice Doll of Demise, Mind Wipe, Gon's Eye, Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke
[colpse]
“A ninja. May I have it?” Alice asked.
“Well, maybe after another quest. That was our deal, right?” I firmed.
“... yes, it was.” Alice said.
Other than the Ninja Grandmaster, I have to say that Mind Wipe might be … iing. In case I run into a criminal or something. I don’t know how pletely it would actually wipe someone’s mind, but it might be extremely effective. Gon’s Eye is also something. Petrifying gaze be super strong, so perhaps I should install that.
Well, I’ll think about it ter.
pack.
SpoilerSOD 3
Two-Man Cell Battle, Goblin Calligrapher, The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension, Horus' Servant, Absolute End, Ritual on, Taunt, Masked Dragon, Spirit Barrier
[colpse]
A purple goblin, Horus’ Servant is useless without the dragon itself, Absolute End will e least Spirit Barrier and Masked Dragon are nice.
pack.
SpoilerSOD 4
Horus' Servant, Gon's Eye, Howling I, Ninjitsu Art of Decoy, Ritual on, Level Up!, Malice Doll of Demise, The Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension, Armed Dragon LV5
[colpse]
“Nice. Sed Level Up.” I said, as I saw the card.
“Yes. Now I have one.” Alice agreed. I’m not actually going to give it to you. Using it on you is more than enough.
Armed Dragon LV5 is not bad either. And I also got anon’s Eye.
pack. One or two more copies of Level Up, please.
SpoilerSOD 5
Gon's Eye, Two-Man Cell Battle, Sanwitch, Dark Mimic LV1, Goblin Calligrapher, Level Up!, Heavy Slump, Horus the Bck Fme Dragon LV4, Inferno Fire Bst
[colpse]
Well, who did I pay off to get a pack this good? Another Level Up, LV4 Horus and Inferno Fire Bst in the same pack.
“See. One more.” I said to Alice.
“Yes.” She agreed.
Well, I still have a lot of tokens, so let’s keep going. I guess I could also ge sets, but getting one or two more Level Ups would be nice.
SpoilerSOD 6
Bck Dragon's Chick, Taunt, Level Up!, Dark Mimic LV1, Mind Crush, Goblin Calligrapher, Element Soldier, Ritual on, Master of Oz
[colpse]
And another one. As well as another Master of Oz. You know, just in case I need a sed one.
“Another one.” Alice said. “Now you use two on me.”
“Or one on myself, one on you, one on Lua and one or Alex.” I said.
“But I’m the lowest level, so I should take priority.” Alice said.
“Or I should take you monster hunting. Leveling up bees more difficult as you get to a higher level, so for you, the same amount of monsters will be more experiend more levels.” I said.
“Then you’d better take me hunting.” Alice said.
“I will. When we have the time.” I said.
Anyway. Let’s go two more packs of Soul of the Duelist. Hoping for at least one more Level Up!
SpoilerSOD 7
Neo Aqua Madoor, Armed Dragon LV3, Level Up!, Element Dragon, Big Wave Small Wave, Ninjitsu Art of Dealice Doll of Demise, Heavy Slump, Armed Dragon LV5
[colpse]
Another Level Up. That’s the fifth.
“Brian. This dragon is cute. I have it?” Alice asked, pointing at Element Dragon.
“Sure, but again, one card per quest.” I reminded her.
“But you get this many.” She argued.
“One per quest.” I repeated. I’m not ging my mind on this.
“... fine.” Alice agreed, as she probably realized that I would go down with the number if she kept it up. Or more like increase the number of quests she would have to do per card.
She also doesn’t factor in that I’ve been putting toploaders on her cards. Well, I guess Dark Magi Girl came with one, but I did put a toploader osu Fuhma. And a toploader is 25 cards.
Anyway, one more pack of SOD and I’ll ge sets.
SpoilerSOD 8
Level Up!, Two-Man Cell Battle, Absolute End, Enraged Muka Muka, Ninjitsu Art of Decoy, Taunt, Sanwitch, Skull Dog Marron, Hammer Shot
[colpse]
One more Level Up for the road. Six of them from 8 packs is quite amazing, sidering my usual on luck. Hammer Shot is also funny. It may not have been effective against an A-rank monster, but seeing a ically rge hammer hit a giant monster in the head is funny.
“Alice, I’m going to ge sets and go for something else, as I got enough Level ups for now.” I said to Alice.
Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Rise of Destiny’[Yes] [No]SpoilerRDS 1
Lighten the Load, Eagle Eye, Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan, Homunculus the Alchemic Being, Mind Haxorz, Ballista of Rampart Smashing, Malice Dispersion, Harpie Lady 3, Sasuke Samurai #4
[colpse]
You know, getting the on you want in the first pack is nice.
“What are you looking for in here?” Alice asked.
“That, actually.” I said, pointing at Lighten the Load.
“Does it do something good?” Alice asked.
“Well, yes, but you would probably think no.” I said. “I get some more pack tokens with it, so I think it’s useful, but it wouldn’t do you any good.”
“Ah. That’s too bad.” Alice said.
I did get the on I want, but I go for a few more packs. Then I might ge over to Legacy of Darkness for the Nutrient Z I didn’t get st time.
SpoilerRDS 2
Harpie Lady 3, Mind Haxorz, Invasion of Fmes, Ballista of Rampart Smashing, Back to Square One, Pitch-Bck Warwolf, Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan, Mirage Dragon, Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast
[colpse]
Back to Square One is actually not terrible. There is a use for it. I think if I use it to return a monster with an automatically geed sleeve to my hand, the sleeve might go away. Then I should be able to put a new sleeve, followed by a toploader on the mohe cost is a bit steep, but in some situations it might be worth it, until I get a pulse. [pulsory Evacuation Device]
Let’s do two more of Rise of Destiny, before I ge sets.
SpoilerRDS 3
Mirage Dragon, Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan, Nightmare Penguin, Raging Fme Sprite, Lighten the Load, Mokey Mokey Smackdown, Homunculus the Alchemic Being, Xing Zhen Hu, Flint

Anhten the Load is nice. And Flint is not bad.
But one more pack to go.
SpoilerRDS 4
Element Magi, Tactical Espionage Expert, Raging Fme Sprite, Nightmare Penguin, Homunculus the Alchemic Being, Element Saurus, Eagle Eye, Mighty Guard, Mae Duplication
[colpse]
Mae Dupe is nice. I wonder what everything it really duplicate. There is also Element Magi and Element Saurus. They belong to the same set as the Element Dragon that Alice liked.
Well anyway. Let’s get that Nutrient Z.
Use a ‘Pack token’ to open 1 pack of ‘Legacy of Darkness’[Yes] [No]SpoilerLOD 1

… okay. My on luck is on point today. First try. Again.
(Laura, did I have any other ons that I want?) I firmed, because if I do, I should get them now.
(Not that I recall.) Laura said. (You got them all already.)
(I see. Well, let’s just get more Nutrient Z then.)

[colpse]
Well… it could be better. I know there is a reason why DB1 is more popur, but I was hoping for somethier.
Well, two more tries and if I get nothing good, I’ll just stick to DB1 and DR1.
SpoilerDB2 2
Royal Oppression, Bark of Dark Ruler, Drop Off, The Puppet Magic of Dark Ruler, The Warrior Returning Alive, Magic Reflector, Cyber-Stein, Baby Dragon, Bdefly, Launcher Spider, Bd Fire Dragon, Maiden of the Aqua
[colpse]
Well, well, well. Cyber-Stein and Royal Oppression. I say a set isn’t good and it instantly shows why it is good.
Because of Health scious, I don’t actually have to pay the LP cost of Cyber-Stein, so I just cheat out fusion monsters. But as those don’t t as fusion summons, it won’t help with the fusion challenge.
Royal Oppression is kind of the same. Sure I use it for free, but it’s only effective against a summoner, so… situational.
Just one more pack to go.
SpoilerDB2 3
The Emperor's Holiday, Pharaoh's Treasure, The Dragon's Bead, Cy Laser, Array of Revealing Light, Magic Reflector, Fiend Skull Dragon, Woodnd Sprite, Mystian, Fushi No Tori, Star Boy, Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts
[colpse]
Well, Gazelle is something I’ll need when I get the reward for the fusion challenge. But not great otherwise. I thiher DB1 or DR1 is better.
I closed down Pack opener and heard someone behind me.
“Oh, done already? I was hoping to see more.”

And stly, our friend GreehanGreen has started a Yugioh isekai series, (well, actually it happened like three weeks ago, but I just found out) detly close to this one in cept and I hope you guys (and girls) will go check it out if you want more Yugioh isekai things.
https:///series/538370/duel-monsters-system-isekai-a-yugioh-story/
Also, please don’t attack him (or her) just because the series has basically the same cept. There is space for both of us and my cept wasn’t even that inal in the first pce.
