“... so, Laura, do you want to explain what just happened?” I questioned.

(Depends on what you are referring to. Multiple things happened in quick succession, so in what order would you like me to go over them?) Laura asked.

(... yeah, I guess.) I went from speaking aloud, to just communicating with Laura in my head. (First of all, the star? Is that what I think it is?) I asked.

(Yes. I got upgraded from Standard to Advanced.) Laura confirmed.

(... okay. That’s good. But why? Because I summoned Exodia? Or some other reason?)

(I don’t know. I asked, but I didn’t get a response.)

(Oh yeah, can you tell me how that entire system thing works now?)

(I’m sorry, but no. I would have to be at the perfect level.) Laura apologized.

(Then it’s fine. If you can’t do it, it isn’t your fault. So, what about Pack Opener?) I asked.

(It leveled up when you went over 50 with the fusion challenge.) Laura answered. (Also, remember that you didn’t claim your reward for 65 summonings yet, so you should do that.)

(Oh. Yeah. I’ll do that.) I answered, as I claimed the Skelgon and The Snake Hair. I then quickly summoned the skeleton dragon, just to get it done. (But really. So it wasn’t Exodia that leveled up the skill, huh. I thought for sure it would have been Exodia.)

As I was recovering, I checked the next rewards I would get for the fusion challenge.

Okay. Something actually kind of nice. Too bad I can’t get to it. I would have loved to get the card, get extra copies with Different Dimension Capsule, and then give one of each to Christina.

Well, nothing I can do about that now. I’ve summoned every single unique fusion in my collection, so until I get more, I can’t get the Amazonesses.

... but my skill did just level up, so ... what changed?

Pack Opener [Collection][Deck] (new)[Sleeve maker][Summoning Challenge][Instructions] [Set lists][Open Packs][Promo Trade] (+1)[Buy Decks] (new)

Okay. The order is definitely different. Promo Trades moved and there is a new trade or something there. And two new tabs.

I checked out the deck tab first. It was honestly nothing super special. It was basically a favorites tab. I could have up to 60 card ‘main deck’ there and a 20 card ‘extra deck’. As well as another 20 card side deck, for a total of 100 cards. My main deck could only hold, well, main deck cards. Aka. it cannot hold fusions or links. Or any other kind of extra deck monsters, but I only had fusions, and the two vampire links currently.

The extra deck on the other hand could only hold ‘extra deck monsters’. Fusions, synchros, XYZs and Links. And as I said, it had space for 20 cards.

The side deck could hold either type of cards, up to 20. I don’t really know why my skill is different from the normal Yugioh rules, as in Yugioh, you can only have 15 cards each in your extra deck and side deck, but I’m not going to question it. At least the main deck size of 60 cards was correct, as that is the upper limit to what your main deck can hold in Yugioh.

And honestly, the side deck really is just more space, as I don’t have to trade the cards from there to the main deck or extra deck to use them or anything. So yeah, while a nice ‘favorites tab’ the Deck tab really doesn’t seem to do much for me. But considering that my skill got it, there is a chance Card Summoner can get it as well, so that was good news.

Now, as for Buy Decks. I could use it to buy starter and structure decks, using both pack tokens and reprint tokens as the currency.

For starter decks, they cost me 5 Pack Tokens. Quite cheap, considering that they come with 50 cards each. Not that efficiency really matters for me.

The ones I could get are:

Six of them. By quick look, there aren’t many new cards there, but there are a few.

Dian Keto the Cure Master, Ultimate Offering, Castle Walls, Sword of Dark Destruction, Invigoration, Waboku, Lord of D., The Flute of Summoning Dragon, as well as some amount of mostly normal monsters, which I didn’t have access to yet.

Spoiler [collapse]

Honestly, Waboku is amazing. I can set one on myself, and it will activate on its own, making me immune to any damage for a short period of time. It is the perfect defensive card to set on people. It doesn’t hurt anyone else, but it protects the person who is about to take an attack. And as it lasts for longer than just one attack, it is arguably better than the other cards I’ve set on people. And being able to get them with just 5 tokens each, that is one great deal. Just because of that, I traded for each of the Started Decks on the spot, and set a Waboku on myself. If anyone tried to hurt me with ill intent, it would activate and make me immune to basically everything.

Now, for structure decks. Their prices weren’t uniformed, but were some combination of pack and reprint tokens, totaling 10. The most common was 8 pack tokens and 2 reprint tokens, but some were 7 and 3, while others were 9 and 1. Basically double the prize of the starter decks, but I can deal with it.

For structure decks, I could get:

Dragon's Roar

Warrior's Triumph

Spellcaster's Judgment

Dinosaur's Rage

...So, links with [ 's ] don't work on this site. For some reason, a random [ %5C ] is added to the link before the [ 's ], breaking the link. So here are the four decks that I cannot link directly. You will have to select them, right click on it, and press Go to (link here).

I tested it out with a monster core from one of the insects, as well as a pile of rocks and other stuff from my quarry operation, and it succeeded. ... sadly, the points I got were not all that great.

Then I tested it with an assorted pile of throwaway monster materials and a monster core, and this time I got a nice amount of points. So maybe earth materials are just bad for getting points. Well, it is everywhere, so...

(Laura, do you know about this?)

(A little. But if you are asking me to min-max the efficiency, I cannot do it at this moment. We simply don’t have the data, and there is no system data about optimized dungeon absorption either, so we would have to do a lot of experiments first.) She answered.

(... but you knew that the dungeons could absorb anything?) I asked.

(As long as you have a monster core, yes. And you do need to match the amount of materials absorbed to the rank and size of the core.) Laura said.

(And you didn’t tell me because?)

(I didn’t think it was necessary. We don’t have access to unlimited monster cores, so we couldn’t do it anyway. I would have told you, had we come across a reliable source of monster cores.)

(... alright. I guess that makes sense. I just wish you had told me, so I could have shared that info with Christina. I think the boars around Alewatch have monster cores, right? She could have used them for trash disposal.)

(They are F-rank monsters, so yes, they do have monster cores.) Laura confirmed.

(Yeah. I thought as much. Well, I’ll just discuss it with Christina tomorrow. And if she asks, I’ll just say it has something to do with your rank or something.)

(That might not be the worst idea, but it isn’t the best either.) Laura said. (I think for now, it is better if we don’t say I’ve been upgraded. Just to avoid any more rumors.)

(... okay, if you say so. But I will still tell Lua. That is not up for discussion.)

(You are allowed to tell whomever you wish. I just want you to remember that System Support holders are seen as ‘angels’ of the system. And higher ranking holders are seen as more powerful ‘angels’.)

(... yeah, I guess. But what if I have to show my status? Won’t it show?)

(No. Not anymore.) Laura said. (As advanced, I can show myself as any rank below advanced in your opened status. I can even hide away certain parts of your status, if you so wish. While I can’t make a full fake status, it is a lot better than what I could previously do. Like hiding away individual skills, or altering the skill level others see when you open your status.)

(... so, you can mask yourself as a lower ranking system support?) I asked.

(Yes.) Laura confirmed.

(... alright. I guess we should do that. Whenever I open my status, you should show yourself as the !-mark rank, I guess.)

(Yes. Let us do that. Should I hide away some of your skills as well?) Laura asked.

(... I’m not sure. Maybe hide the Factory? And can you change Storage so it looks like Inventory instead?) I asked.

(I can only hide skills away, not change them for others.) Laura said.

(... okay. Then hide Factory from the opened status. Then lower the skill level of mana control to 8 or something, just so it isn’t 10. Put storage down to 4 or so as well, just so it is better in line with Pack Opener. And lower the level of Telekinesis to 3. And Unity to 4. I think that will do it.)

(As you wish.) Laura confirmed.

(Actually, can you alter my overall level?) I asked.

(No. I cannot touch that. Sorry.)

(That’s fine. Even the skill level altering is amazing. Thank you, Laura.)

After I did what I came to do, I left the dungeon and jumped into Gradius, so I could fly back to the village. I have a lot to talk about with Lua.

By the way, in case you were wondering how I could make a ‘three piece suit’ for the Earl, it was quite easy actually. All I really had to do was to make one with the imaginary powers I have in the Factory, then analyze it and upload that to the dungeon database. Cheat powers for the win. It isn’t exactly a three-piece suit, but something a bit more comfortable, still styled a bit like a suit. But I’ll describe it better when I hand it over to Thomas.

“... so, let me check if I have this correct.” Lua said, as she began recapping my story. “You summoned a God, and because of that, Laura’s rank increased.”

“Basically yes. But I don’t think Laura calls it rank.” I countered.

We were in the empty house in which Lua’s father used to live. I had also summoned Cosmo Queen so she could set up a barrier around the house, just to make sure no one would listen in. I trust the people here, but still. This is a bit bigger than just a trust issue.

“... Brian. You really should stop.”

“Why?”

“You can’t just summon a God!” Lua yelled at me.

“Hey! Exodia is at most a demigod.” I defended myself.

“Does it matter? Even those dragons are ... are ... I don’t even know anymore...”

“Sorry. But I don’t think it really matters. I just have to not use Exodia in the future, unless I absolutely must. It just is too dangerous.” I admitted.

“Yes. Please.” Lua agreed. “You don’t have to do ridiculous things all the time.”

The rest of the day was ... normal. Enough craziness for one day, right?

I asked around a bit, you know, about mysterious lights to the west, but no one seemed to have noticed anything, so I think my idea with Exodia paid off. Had I ordered him to attack to the east instead, that giant flame beam thing likely would have been seen here. I just have to hope there is nothing important to the west. Not that the beam would have hit anything, but they might have seen it. When the guard asked about it, I just said I summoned this shining dragon, and I was wondering if it had been spotted here. It isn’t technically a lie.

Because of everything, I was quite tired already, so the only training I did today was a bit of sword swinging. No magic today. I also skipped today’s Level Up! Just in case the level up to Pack Opener, combined with a level to something else would get me sick.

Lua and Ria both followed my lead, saying that as they also can’t keep their practice in line with the speed at which their skills level up, that they would take a break day. Don’t know about Alice though. She probably leveled up something. But that isn’t for me to decide. She might have put in the effort again. I simply do not know. But knowing Alice, she absolutely did practice today.

Tomorrow, hopefully it will be a calm day. The first guests will arrive tomorrow. And I’ll go and get Christina and the rest who are coming from Alewatch.

Other than that, I don’t know, so I guess we will find out.

Good night for now.
