Summary
A more journalistic account of the events of (at least) Yu-gi-oh: Duel Monsters, from a simple premise: what if Card Games were Serious Business everywhere in the world?
Card Games journalist Wayne Ray Slifer, nearing the end of his career as a hobby writer, releases a 'comprehensive' (or at the very least comprehensible) account about the rise of Duel Monsters as one of a pair of titanic Card Game giants (the other being Magic: The Gathering tournaments treated as gentlemanly duels a la 18th-century pistol duels) that have become gladiator spectacles. His attempts to trace Duel Monster's rise lead him down an insane rabbit hole of Egypt pseudoscience, occultists, artifact traffickers, dark money, Atlantean Truther Biker Gangs (no, seriously), a young man's coming of age story, secret societies, and Card Games on Motorcycles.
In other words, this is an Alternate History story that pretends that Card Games are Serious F***ing Business, and draws the premise of the original story to something of a logical conclusion.
