Chapter 355 Restriction of Time

Daniel continued to open more booster packs, his anticipation growing with each one. Finally, he stumbled upon another intriguing legendary card.

This was the first time Daniel had received a Location card from a booster pack, a departure from the conversion cards he usually used to convert the properties in the real world, feeding him mana. He wondered what would happen once he actualized this card.

Would it manifest in the real world, its grandeur on display for all to see? Or would it reside solely in his mindscape, akin to Dilmun, where he could draw mana from it regardless of the distance from the location he converted into a mana pool?

Regardless of the circumstances, Daniel felt that this box had provided enough pleasant surprises to justify all the points he had invested in it. He eagerly rifled through a few more booster packs but didn't find any legendary cards until he reached the last one. Typically, each box set contained three legendary cards, so he anticipated finding one in this final pack.

As Daniel opened the booster pack, his eyes lit up with excitement. There it was, another card he had always wanted from this box set, a card he desired even more than Arthur himself.

The Keeper returned, his tone apologetic as he addressed Daniel. "I'm deeply sorry, Mr. Emberweave," he said, bowing respectfully. "I'm afraid this time I can't be of assistance."

"Oh? What happened?" Daniel inquired, curiosity piqued.

"It seems that this card violates the rule of time, which states that Event B cannot occur before Event A. For example, you can't make an omelet if you haven't broken the egg first. In your case, you're trying to make the omelet without breaking the egg, which is impossible," explained the Keeper.

"So, how do I break... this egg?" Daniel asked.

"To be honest, I don't know," admitted the Keeper. "But considering the circumstances and the fact that you already have the card, I assume you'll find a way to break the egg eventually. Just live your life as you normally would, doing the things you like and want to do. That's all the advice I can offer you for now."

"So... Can I continue with actualizing? Or do I need to do something specific before I can continue?" Daniel inquired.

The Keeper fell silent, pondering for a moment before responding. "You don't need to do anything specific, but... to be on the safe side, until you break the egg, you shouldn't use any card from this 'Rise of Camelot' Set. Otherwise, things might turn ugly, and I may need to close this shop to repair the fabric of reality once again," he explained.

"No problem. So... This means I can actualize these mysterious cards?" Daniel presented the enigmatic card filled with question marks in its details.

"Please, go ahead, sir. But I'll be just outside the door in case something happens, so I can assist you to the best of my ability," the Keeper assured.

"Thank you very much," Daniel expressed with a smile.

After the Keeper exited the room, Daniel proceeded with his actualization. He immersed his mind into the mindscape and chose to actualize the female Oni Samurai.

As the accumulated points diminished, the once bright starry sky, unnoticed by Daniel, dimmed slightly as it drew power from countless worlds, possibilities, and realities. A solitary soul responded to the call of the starry sky, merging with Daniel as light particles coalesced into the form of a kneeling female samurai.

Once the particles fully gathered and solidified, the figure of a beautiful red-haired female oni samurai appeared before Daniel. Her eyes closed, then fluttered open, meeting Daniel's gaze with determination as she bowed before him once again.

"Tomoe Gozen is ready to serve, my lord. Please point me to your enemy, and I shall bring their head to you!" she declared, her hand tightening around her naginata.

"So... Tomoe-San, may I call you that?" Daniel asked.

"Yes... you may call me as such, my lord," Tomoe replied.

"You may rise, Tomoe-san. Please guard me for now, and later I will bring you to meet your comrades," said Daniel before he exited the room and returned to the real world.

He decided to save his last 10,000 points for now, as he didn't currently require more warrior types. Plus, he had to admit, having a beautiful female samurai as a guardian felt a lot better than having a sweat-smelling male.

Daniel brought Tomoe to meet Envy first, as he needed to pass the command room to reach the medical center anyway.

"Oh, another one?" Envy remarked with a mischievous smile, eyeing Tomoe from head to toe. Then, with a smirk, she added, "Tell me, Danny... Do you perhaps have a serious case of warrior girl fetish?"
