(Yugi's POV)
After waking up, I knew something was wrong. My Millennium Puzzle, which I always kept on, was missing. "Yami? Yami! Where are you?!" I shouted, terrified.
"Ahh, hello, Yugi. How was your sleep? I hope you liked it because it's going to be the last thing you remember!" Yami shouted from an unseen place and a monster emerged.
"W-What are you?" I questioned the monster.
"I am Zork, King of Darkness. Or, as you knew me, Yami. I am here to destroy you puny humans! Now, I use my infinite power to summon the three Egyptian God cards! Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Rā!" Zork/Yami yelled. A huge blast erupted and I was inside of Zork, and staring at a darker version of Yami.
"Ah, it seems that you are more powerful than I anticipated. Since you're here, let's play a game to decide the fate of the world. You humans call the game 'Duel Momsters'. Also, you may call me by my true name; Atem," Atem/Yami replied.
We started playing, and, with the help of my friends' memories, I defeated the embodiment of evil. Once I got you the real world, I used the Millennium Puzzle to seal Atem and Zork away. I then vowed to keep it safe, in the Shadow Realm.
*Many years later...*
(Bakura's POV)
It was the summer solstice, and I heard a creek above my bedroom. I quietly walked up into the attic, and saw a short boy in a rocking chair with a strange triangular pendent, surrounded by darkness. I walked up and the pendent changed into a ring shaped pendent. I grabbed it and the boy looked up in fear. After putting it on, a strong voice said, "The prophecy has begun."

Shatter the Heavens; Slaughter the Gods
Arminius of the ancient era stood over mankind with the ability to perform magic. His ability allowed him to triumph over mortal armies and carve a domain for himself. Then, the martialists attacked. Their individual strength was lower than that of magicians, but the sheer number of them made them an unstoppable force. In the wake of tens of thousands of martialists and hundreds of thousands of mortal warriors, one lone magician was unable to stand against the tide. But, the powers of a magician allowed Arminius to escape the cycle of reincarnation, landing him an eon into the future. In the new age, magicians are entirely extinct, and the martialists from the old era have perfected their martial way, allowing them to attain godly powers that far surpass what Arminius was ever capable of. So, what else should Arminius do except learn their method and use it against them?! Reincarnated as Andric, he seeks to gain the powers of the martialists and reclaim his position at the throne of the world! A fossil of a bygone age where magic was rampant and he ruled with an iron fist, Arminius is reborn into a world in which magic is fading. The non-magical revolution successful and his rule long over, he must master the new ways of martial arts to rule anew.

Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.
