(Master. It’s m.) Laura said to wake me up. I still love having her as an arm clock. She does it so well.

  (Good m Laura. What time is it?) I asked. I wao know if I have time for the daily packs.

  (It’s 6:48 am. We have some time.) Laura answered.

  (Nice. I guess let’s get the dailies open then. But first one card.) I said as I pulled a card out of colle.

  “Good Goblin Housekeeping.” I said to activate the card. Uhe one I used yesterday, this one didn’t have a sleeve.

  A booklet, simir to st time, appeared. I ope up.

  [Daily Pack Tokens: 17][Daily Reprint Tokens: 4][Current Pack Tokens: 17][Current Reprint Tokens: 4] You transfer up to 5 tokens and 1 daily token per one use.

  I quickly adjusted the numbers as much as I could and closed the booklet.

  [Daily Pack Tokens: 16][Daily Reprint Tokens: 5][Current Pack Tokens: 12][Current Reprint Tokens: 9] You transfer up to 5 tokens and 1 daily token per one use.

  The reason for this was actually quite simple. Reprint packs just have more cards in them. And a wider range of cards. So they just are worth more. As to why I didn’t bother with the toploader for the sed Good Goblin Housekeeping, well I’ll use the other one I have after it and Lighten the Load e off of cooldown iernoon. That will move one more daily tokeo the reprint and I do want to hold onto some of my normal pack tokens as well. For when I get new sets that use normal tokens. And with time, I’ll probably have a perfect 50/50 split on my tokens. Maybe.

  And now, to the packs. I think I’ll actually start with the reprints today, as I’m not sure what mai I want to open. Sure there is Magic Ruler for Upstart, but I’m not that short on money. Legend of Blue-Eyes is great for the rare spells, but they are rares or ultra rares. And as Pot of Greed is in both LOB and MRL, Magic Ruler is just a bit better. It has better ons.

  Rise of Destiny and Fmiernity also have great cards, but as I really need some more copies of Emblem oroyer so I use Lighten the Load, I might have to go with Magi’s Force. Well, Magi’s Force does have the XYZ-Dragon on parts and Dark Padin, so it’s not a bad set either.

  But that doesn’t matter for the reprints. For the reprints, it’s Dark Revetion Volume 1 all the way. Well, I might s to Dark Beginning 1 if I get an X-Head on and a few copies of Emblem oroyer.

  Lava Golem. Nice. Well, kind of. … Well, not really. I do like having it and it will trap two oppos in the cages when I summon it, but at the same time they are the ohat will trol the golem, so perhaps I shouldn’t use it.

  But Spell Shield Type-8 is actually egate a magic attack that targets me. And as it is a trap, I set it on myself or someone else. It should prevent any Tye is iure.

  But now I have the question of gis. I didn’t get any Emblems, but I always get them from Magi’s Forore like try to get them from Magi’s Forothing is ever guaranteed. And that would leave me with 5 packs of DB1 for Upstart Goblin, Pot of Greed and Jar of Greed.

  Also, Kiryu is actually nice. A union. I could potentially use it as a dragon I ride around and it might be better for it than some of my other ones. Or I could give it to Alice at some point. It is dark attribute.

  I wonder if using a red robed Dark Magi means that the Dark Padin will have red armor? Would be iing.

  [colpse]

  And two more emblems. Now I have a total of 8 and that is enough to max out both of my Lighten the Loads.

  But now I have a problem. I oploaders for 7 Emblems, 2 Upstart Goblins, one Jar of Greed, one Dark Padin, two Spell Shield Type-8s, one Lighten the Load, one Monster Reborn. Even the XYZ-Dragon on could use one, but that wait.

  But that is still 15 toploaders and at 25 cards a piece, that is 375 cards I have to sacrifice.

  I guess if I optimize it, I just sleeve three more copies of Emblem and Lighten the Load. With that, I’ll get 4 more pack tokens. The Jar will have to get one as well.

  (Well, Laura if you would.) I asked Laura to choose sacrifices for the sleeves and toploaders.

  (This will take a sed. You should do your m business in the meanwhile.) Laura responded.

  5x Anti-Spell, 3x Dark Cat with White Tail, 4x Dark Scorpion - Cliff the Trap Remover, 3x Decayed ander, 7x Demotion, 2x Des Dendle, 6x Disarmament, 3x Dramatic Rescue, Exhausting Spell, 4x Formation Union, 5x Frontline Base, 5x Gather Your Mind, 3x Jar Robber, 2x Kaiser Colosseum, 3x Kishido Spirit, 7x Magical Mert, 2x Magical Pnt Mandrago, 4x Magical Stist, 6x Metalsilver Armor, 2x Meteorain, 3x My Body as a Shield, 2x Neko Mane King, 3x Old Vindictive Magi, 3x Oppressed People, 4x People Running About, 3x Pitch-Bck Power Stone, 3x Roulette Barrel, 2x Sed Goblin, 2x Thunder of Ruler, 4x Union Rider, United Resistance, 3x Zombie Tiger, Ameba, 2x Aqua Madoor, 2x Armored Zombie, 2x Attad Receive, 3x Backup Soldier, 2x Bombardmele, 2x Celtic Guardian, 2x Dark King of the Abyss, 4x DNA Surgery, 4x Dragon Capture Jar, 3x Feral Imp, 2x Final Destiny, 2x Fsh Assaint, 3x Ground Colpse, 2x Hitotsu-Me Giant, 2x Infinite Dismissal, 3x Jam Breeding Mae, 4x Jinzo #7, 3x Karate Man, 2x Kojikocy, 4x Left Leg of the Forbidden One1[Yes, Brian did keep 1], 2x Light of Intervention, 3x Mammoth Graveyard, Mask of Dispel, 3x Mask of Restrict, Mask of Brutality, 4x Mask of Weakness, 3x Petit Moth, 2x Right Arm of the Forbidden One, 2x Right Leg of the Forbidden One2[again, he kept one of each], 4x Shadow of Eyes, Shift, 2x Shining Abyss, Silver Fang, 2x Skull Invitation, 5x Spirit of the Breeze

  (I chose an initial 200 monsters, Master. With this, we get toploaders for 3 Emblems, 2 Upstart Goblins, 1 Lighten the Load, 1 Dark Padin and Jar of Greed.) Laura said. (I will recheck after the four pack tokens from Lighten the Load and the reprint token from Jar of Greed. And Master does have enough level 7 monsters for the sed Lighten the Load even without the other Emblems.)

  (I see. Thanks. I approve. Make the trade and apply the toploaders, please.) I gave the permission.

  Now the’s activate these things. Let’s just start with the Upstart Goblins.

  My total for the three Upstarts was 6 small silver, 2 rge silver and 7 gold.

  Then I activated the 4 toploader copies of Emblem oroyer. With that, I now had four more copies of Buster Bder, but not for long.

  I activated Lighten the Load to trade in my my new Buster Bders and gained four more pack tokens with it.

  Then I activated the Jar of Greed, allowing my skill to e it, increasing the number of daily reprint tokens I have from 5 to 6. I also gained one reprint token while I did it, so now I have 4 pack tokens and one reprint, so let’s use them.

  At least my choice of repri is easy. Dark Beginning 1 all the way.

  SpoilerDB1 6

  Spellbinding Circle, Shift, Gravity Bind, The Shallow Grave, Curse of the Masked Beast, Mask of the Accursed, The Earl of Demise, St. Joan, Bombardmele, Armored Zombie, Invader of the Throne, Right Leg of the Forbidden One

  [colpse]

  Well, nothing amazing here. Spellbinding Circle is nice, but the others are just useless repeats. Hmm. Actually, St. Joan is a level 7 so it be used with Lighten the Load.

  Well anyway, let’s do the normal packs and holy, because I don’t want to make a sleeve for any more cards today, I’ll open up 4 packs of Legend of Blue-Eyes and I will get nothing good. Do you hear me world, I said I will get nothing good. That means no Monster Reborns, no Pot of Greeds and no Blue-Eyes White Dragons.

  LOB. I thought we had a deal. No super rares. Well, I guess the deal was no cards I want to sleeve and I don’t really want to sleeve up a Dark Hole, so… I guess you did keep up your end of the bargain.

  Knock, knock

  “e in.” I said after hearing a knock at the door.

  A maid came in to the room and said: “Good m, Sir Brian. I see you are already awake. Breakfast will be served soon. Do you need more time or may I escort you there now?”

  “Is Alice ready?” I asked the maid. I could go by myself, but I think Alice would like it if I waited for her.

  “Not quite.” The maid answered.

  “Then I’ll wait for her.” I told the maid.

  “As you wish.” The maid said a my room.

  I used these few minutes making sure I would stay safe on today’s hunt by setting a few cards onto myself. In total, three cards.

  Nutrient Z was an easy choice. It would instantly give me 4000 more HP, if I was about to receive an attack that had an inal power of more than 2000. Laura expihat inal power means the power before my defense is factored in. And as the effect could allow me to go above my normal HP limit, gaining something called “overhealth”, the effect would not be wasted, even if I was at max HP.

  Overhealth is a phenomenon where someone is healed for more than their max HP. It results iemporarily having more HP than they hold. The excess HP will quickly disappear at a rate of 1-10 HP per sed, depending on how much over you are. The most oo see it is with low level people drinking HP potions.

  The sed card I set on myself was Sakuretsu Armor. I was holy a bit scared of using it, as it will likely kill someone, but Laura said I could set the activation dition so that it would only wainst monsters. And that is what I did. I also added in a cuse that preve from activating uhreatening Roar had already activated.

  The st card I set was Draining Shield. I really wasn’t sure if I want to set it, as I don’t have sleeves at the moment, but I do have two copies of it, so I lose one if it keeps me safe.

  With the activation dition of proteg me from any atta case none of my other set cards do, Draining Shield was set and ready to go.

  None of these set cards had a toploader, so they would be lost if they activated, but better that thah.

  “Brian. Good m.” Alice said as we met in the hallway. The maid that greeted me earlier had e to get me again and was now leading the two of us towards the dining room. I could have made the trip on my own with Laura, but I don’t mind this.

  “Good m. Did you sleep well?” I asked her.

  “Yes. I’m rested and ready to go.” Alice responded.

  “Good. I was holy a bit worried that you would be overly excited and stay up the entire night.” I told her.

  “I’m not a little kid.” Alice said, pouting a little.

  But as soon as we made it to the dining room, I knew my worries were correct. I just directed them at the wrong person.

  “Big sis Paulina. Are you alright?” Even Alioticed it.

  Paulina looked like she hadn’t slept at all. It wasn’t as bad as some of my friends during finals, but nearly there.

  “Oh. Alice. Yes. Of course I am. My research just ran a bit te.” Paulina said.

  “You shouldn’t sacrifice sleep for that.” I told her. I know I sometimes do it before exams, but I always made sure to get a good night's sleep the night before the exam. Any ht was fair game though. “What were you researg anyway?”

  “I was looking into some of the legends about the hero’s party. Mainly, the exp potion and the skill orb.” Paulina said. “I believe your cards have some simir uses, so I wao check out how the skill orbs and exp potions worked.”

  Oh? Some iing sounding items. An orb that gives a skill. I wonder if you have to eat it for the effect or do you just pass mana through it. And you use one orb multiple times.

  An exp potion is a little more straightforward. Probably. Drink it to gain exp.

  … but then there is that personal exp problem that made Dark Magi basically untouchable while it was holding my experiene. How does the potio around that problem? Is there some universal form of exp?

  I guess my card gets around that problem as well, but it also doesn’t seem to have anything to do with experience, as it leveled up Alice by two levels and me by two levels. If it had something to do with exp, it should have less of an effee than Alice, as I’m higher level.

  “I see. Did you find out something?” I asked.

  “Not really. The legends say that the first Great Sage could make skill orbs and the first Saint could produce exp potions, but the manufacturihods are not referred to at all. The book does say both be gotten from a duhat the hero founded, but nothing else.” Paulina said.

  “What about the effectiveness?” I asked. “ multiple people use a single skill orb? And how much exp is in an exp potion?”

  “Sorry, but the book didn’t say.” Paulina answered. “I look into it more if you’d like.”

  “Nah. It’s fine. I was just a bit ied. Taking care of yourself is more important.” I said to Paulina.

  “I heard you were going out.” The earl said during breakfast.

  Angelina, Mateo and Jonathan weren’t present for breakfast, as they eat it at their own house. I guess two free meals a day is more than enough.

  Well then again, I’ve only ever paid for one meal while living in this world. When I went to the Boar’s louh Alice. And the travel rations. And dinner and breakfast at the adventurer's guild. Well, there are a few cases where I did pay for my meals. But most of them have still been given to me for free.

  “Yes. We are going to hunt some monsters.” I responded.

  “I see. Please, take this.” The earl said, handing me a medal.

  I received it and took a look at it. It had a detailed carving of a lumberjack chopping down a tree. The medal seems to be made of mithril, so it has to be important. I don’t think they would make it out of mithril if it wasn’t.

  “And this is?” I asked.

  “Our family medal. We give it to people who are supported by the family.” The earl said. “Well, the normal ones actually aren’t mithril like that one, but gold, silver or copper, depending on how much support we give them. The only ohat carries a mithril one is my son. Having that medal means you are allowed to use my name on the same level as him. The lord.” The earl expined.

  … isn’t that a little overkill? I know this teically still falls withireat me as family” cuse if his son does have one, but it is a bit much.

  “You also use it as a pass for the noble’s gate. That way you won’t have to wait in lihe earl added.

  Oh? That’s nice. I might get some looks from other adventurers, but who cares. Useful tool is useful. Even if it is just a glorified toll pass.

  “Thank you.” I said to the earl.
