Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: The Resolve of a Victor

"The result is in!"

A grand arena, stands packed with crowds, a sea of people roaring like the ocean. The judge, holding a microphone, announced with dramatic enthusiasm:

"The winner of the finals, the new Duel King, is—Fujiki Kira!"

Applause and cheers erupted as if the entire arena had caught fire. Even before the judge’s words faded, the place was already boiling over, thunderous applause drowning out all else. Spectators leaped to their feet, waving flags bearing the victor’s name.

Kira stood at the center of the arena, suddenly finding the lights glaringly bright. All around, the cheers and shouts, the sudden arrival of the highest glory at the summit of this world—his first feeling wasn’t excitement, but confusion.

Wait, how did I get here?

Why does it feel like I just skipped a whole season’s worth of progress?

Kira frowned.

He vaguely remembered infiltrating that company called ABIAK with the President and Alister. They’d entered through the sewers, hacked the express elevator with Mokuba’s remote help, and reached the server room... _{free.w e bn.ov(e)l(.)com}

And then, suddenly, he was here?

Just like that, he’d become the Duel King.

And that wasn’t all. He quickly realized his bank account was now overflowing with a dizzying sum, he owned a garage full of luxury cars, and mansions—so many he’d lost count.

The nearest, for instance, was a manor just outside Domino City.

Strolling through the vast estate, magnificent buildings, manicured gardens, exquisite sculptures and artwork—he suddenly felt like a spectator in first-person, as if witnessing some alternate timeline’s version of himself—a self who’d won everything through dueling, who stood atop the world.

"Kira-sama, your bath is ready."

Turning around, he found an actual maid in the manor. Her dress floated lightly, white stockings hugging her shapely legs, collarbone and mysterious curves exposed, as soft as clouds.

"Would you like your bath now, Master?"

The maid smiled sweetly, starting to undo her belt as she spoke.

"Wait a minute." Kira raised his eyebrow, stopping her with a gesture. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

The maid blinked innocently. "Serve you, Master."

Kira: "..."

Sensing things were about to spiral out of control, Kira coughed.

"Silence."

At his word, the scene froze.

The vast mansion, the dreamy little maid—everything twisted and warped before his eyes. Colors blurred and smeared, clear outlines dissolving.

Then, as if the world were a shattered mirror, everything broke into countless fragments. All those vivid details vanished in an instant, replaced by chaos and darkness—a void stretching to infinity.

Only a long corridor appeared before him, its end unknown.

The figure of Silent Magician materialized at his side.

"That was...an illusion?" Kira frowned. "Some kind of enemy hallucination?"

Silent Magician shook her head.

Kira glanced at his right hand, feeling something off, but soon understood.

"So that’s it..." he muttered. "This sensation, this state is..."

A virtual body.

He wasn’t in reality but in a digital state, like when connected to a Link System. He’d somehow been accelerated into a virtual world created by some high-tech process—KaibaCorp-level tech. Everything he’d just seen was a data projection.

Now, with the spirit’s help, he’d pierced the opponent’s illusion, but he was still inside this virtual world—just viewing its deeper layer.

He looked down the corridor stretching out before him.
