At that moment, the previously pitch-black screen suddenly stirred.
A golden-brown eye, like a radiant gemstone, slowly appeared at the center of the display. Within that eye seemed to lie a mysterious golden box, shining with an alluring glow.
As the image flickered, a deep and magnetic voice echoed through the room, as if coming from a distant place—carrying an inexplicable pull that made one's heart tremble.
"The history of games can be traced back five thousand years to the age of the ancient Pharaohs."
"The games played in ancient times were magical rituals—foretelling the future of kings and mankind, deciding fate itself."
"Those were known as the Shadow Games."
"Now, a boy who has solved the Millennium Puzzle and inherited the Shadow Games has appeared."
Suddenly, the background music shifted.
With a burst of dazzling golden light, a man with striking yellow, blond, and black hair appeared—radiating overwhelming presence.
"A boy who bears within him a heart of both light and darkness... people call him—the King of Games!"

As the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime officially began, Klee, Amber, Kaeya, and Diluc all held their breath, eyes fixed on the screen, bodies unconsciously leaning forward.
They watched intently, excitement shining in their eyes.
Klee's small face was full of anticipation; her eyes sparkled, and her tiny hands clenched in excitement.
Soon enough, the four of them were completely immersed in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, utterly captivated.
Luya closed the door of the screening room and returned to the shop floor. He planned to prepare some basic products for the store.
Although most people in Mondstadt didn't have much Mora, there were still some wealthy individuals. Selling even a little was still profit—after all, Luya would never lose money.
Luya immediately began arranging Duel Stages across the shop. One after another, platforms rose from the ground.
During this time, he placed multiple vending machines for drinks and snacks around the store.
Only now did the shop begin to look like a proper establishment—no longer the barren, empty room it had been moments ago.
Then Luya purchased a small shop stall identical to the one in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX using the Construction Module. He placed Yu-Gi-Oh! Scratch Cards, Card-Draw Bread, Duel Disks, and other merchandise onto the shelves.
Almost... everything was ready.
Luya then spent some Mora to upgrade the shop.
Afterward, he pulled out several Exosister monster cards and directly manifested them.
[Exosister Martha]
[Exosister Stella]
[Exosister Elis]
Three flashes of light appeared—
and the three girls, Martha, Stella, and Elis, materialized in Luya's shop like dreamlike maidens.
"From today onward, the three of you will handle the daily operations of this shop," Luya said with a satisfied smile.
Hearing his words, the girls nodded earnestly, expressing their determination.
They clenched their fists, voices clear and bright:
"We'll do our very best to make this shop grow and flourish!"
Seeing Martha, Stella, and Elis so full of enthusiasm, Luya felt very satisfied.
Then he explained the product prices, shop hours, and various important notes to them.
By the time the training was complete, night had quietly fallen.
Inside the screening room, Diluc, Klee, Amber, and Kaeya finally emerged—reluctant to leave after watching.
As soon as they stepped out, they immediately noticed the three girls standing beside Luya.
Kaeya laughed, "Shopkeeper, aren't you getting a little too flashy here?!"
