System!: How come to White-Eyes Blue Wyvern with 3000 damage points is allowed for a direct attack?
It was a long time ago, every Sunday when I and my friends were playing a card game due to its booming on a certain anime on TV.
"I summon Night Mage! Go! Dark Magic Burst!"
"Not so fast! I activate Force of Magical Mirror! I rebound your attack and destroy your monsters!"
"No…!
Too bad I did not excel often, but it's not as often I lost too. I battled many kids in our neighbourhood, and eventually, as we grew, I learn more and more mechanic in this card game.
"Okay, I summon this guy here, effect-"
"Wait, I active this trap, negate summon!"
"Oh, okay, cool! Monster Revival, target the negated guy, respond?"
"Uh, no… continue!"
It became clearer that the game was meant for me. It was fun and all, new friends, new mechanics, and new events worldwide. Even there was an online platform for the card game that connected me with many new users every day.
But it was all but dreams.
"Summon, effect? No? Then special summon, link, summon, summon, link, synchro, effect, summon… end!"
"Draw… activate-"
"Effect, negate that! Also chain, you cannot summon!"
"Okay… game two?"
"G.g, thank you…"
The game became more and more fasts pacing yet less and less interaction were made between two players. Both of us did not enjoy the game, not even the others, it was hard to play for fun unless it was a casual battle.
But, I still love the card game, as a hobby, and sometimes, playing it. But people told me it was none other than a child game and I must get a job. They were right, I should grow up! Get a job, get money, make a saving, and finally, when I had a lot of money, I shall buy some competitive cards.
Yeah, nothing would change me!
I had put my love and life into the card game.
No regret....
It was due to my new job, busy time, and hectic schedule, I no longer had the luxury to play the card I had bought. It was still laying still staring at me in the drawer, covered in the dust waiting for me to let it rampaged the field. It was, a cute witch pointing her wants, smiling at me with many sparkles around her. Yeah, she was one of thousand copies of Kuimeineo Corporation had printed. But just one copy was enough to make this lonely guy happy and being impatient with the next time to unleash its potentials.
But, remember when I said I had almost no time for the card game? Eventually, as my time got closer to the gate of death, I realized the wrinkles on my face, how obvious my bones in my arms, the youth had left my body, so did my hair and few teeth. I had been bedridden in a hospital. But what worse about it, there was a machine that beeping every second to annoy me, and cables were attached to my body, piercing my vein, telling everything about my condition. But for me, they were trying to tell how close I had been to the death door to those people who thought they could just rob my money in the name of health. It was a pity that nobody was taking care of me, an old guy who had nothing but his own card with cute anime witch girl printed on it.
At this time, I would like to call my friends, returned to the old days, having nostalgia with this card. But, my body was too tired, it against my own will. I was too old to perform a combo. Too fragile to shuffle my deck. Too tired to read their effects. It had been many years later that I finally touch the cute witch of the card I bought. It was the first time in many decades since I bought the card. I had loved the card game for so long, so did this little friend of min. So long that I had completely forgot my goal as a human in my own society.
But I have no regret…
I was too tired…
I needed to sleep…
The machine beside me made a long beep, but slowly lowering in volume.
I decided to ignore it, too tired to even care…
I wish I could play more card game…

"Thus, that very will of yours that brought you here to me, mortal!"
A sound echoed within the room with nothing but white. A man stood there covered by lights so white they almost blinded him.
"Where… where is this?" he asked, surprised by the sudden change of surroundings. All but white, warmth yet froze his heart, serene yet he felt nothing welcomed him here.
"Glad you ask!" a figure of a human, so bright as if his body was merely made of condensed light. He approached the confused man who had been on his feet. "This is the afterlife! Basically, I'm sorry, you're officially dead!"
"Dead? Me?"
The light figure nodded, "But don't worry! It's not like you are brought to heaven or hell! You will be reincarnated!"
"Understandable, so…" the man paused, he weaved his thought while his hands interpreted tits process inside "Heaven is real?"
"Can you ask something worth answering? You're about to be reincarnated! At least ask who this guy is standing before you!" the light figure gestured his hands over its own body from face to bottom. His tone sounded too impatient.
The man sighed, "Fine, who are you?"
The figure giggled of its heart's content, "So, mortal? Are you interested?"
"Not really, you told to ask-"
"In-te-res-ted?" the figure acted so impatiently that he stomped like a kid on a tantrum.
"Fine, fine, please enlighten me! O mysterious being!"
The figure cleared his throat, "Well, I am what you mortals insist on calling me as a god, the divine, the one, but not really! I just a mere lesser divine who control realm the reincarnated soul, here! And then, this is the afterlife, as I said before! By the way, there is a world called Breeze, a land of Wind God, where magic is no longer something fictional like you mortals keep writing on every promising literatures!"
"Wait, I mean, I am sorry, but What? Also magic is real too?"
"Yeah, if magic was not real, then who am I? That thing you mortals keep calling as CGI? Can your technology actually create god?"
"But can a human creates the concept of god too, right?"
The figure grumbled, "I was made by the higher divine with certain ritual, happy now? So, without any further ado, I shall send you to the new land! The Land of The Wind God, Breizen! Off you go, mortal!"
Many sparkles were then gathered and constructed themselves into a solid matter which emerged as a gate. As the gate created a loud creaking sound as its door slowly opened like a rusty gate. A mysterious unseen force from the gate sucked out the man and everything in this white area of the unknown.
"Congratulation! You're now reincarnated as a girl! You are now bestowed the name, Eureka Weber! Weave out your knot of fate and creates your new destiny!"
A"Girl- wait, wait!" the man tried to fight the sudden and mysterious force that kept pulling him into the gate with nowhere but another white on the other side, "I will be a girl?"
"Be something that you actually need most rather than a card game, yes! Get a new life, and be happy! Be happy with your now life, and have a nice trip!"
The man was no longer able to fight the force that kept sucking him into the gate, then had to give up and let the gate swallowed him up before closing shut with a giant venus flytrap. At that moment, the gate returned into its former shape – a swarm of light white sparkles and evaporated away blending with surrounding white.
"Ah! Such a beautiful soul went to a great place! I love my job!" he snivelled as his light-made hands wiped an unseen white light tear, "Wait, did I forget something? Well, if I forget, it means it is not important!" he confirmed himself and then dispersed into a sparkle of lights upon his first step.

The sky was so blue, white and gentle clouds passed by following the rotation of the earth. A bird chirped the happy song, glided following the current of breeze.
There was a girl around seventeen, laying on the grass. She tried to grasp into the sky as something told her to grab for the cloud, the birds, and the floating whale in the sky.
"W-whale?" she jumped from her nap, but as she regained her clearer vision and made a quick inspection toward the surrounding, her focus quickly shifted "Whale flying in the- hol'up, where is this?"
All but vast land with grasses dancing following the breeze, but far from where she was, a city stood firm with tons of skyscrapers reaching into the sky. But something was conflicting with her logic.
"What city is that? Flying cars and ships? And what encircling that high tower? Also, what is that beaming from its top? What is that? Where is it?" she was confused, and the sudden wailing sound of a group of whales gliding majestically on the sky just fueled her confusion even more.
"I... I don't even know-"
Suddenly a burst of pain exploded, thus flood her mind. She gradually lost her balance as she began to lose her vision. The breeze came to greet her, but to Eureka, they seemed to robe her stamina. She fell to her knees that no longer withstood the burden of her body as well as her confusion. Even if she tried to fight for it, she had lost half of her control over her body. She reached her hand into the sky once more - realized her left hand had a wound so deep on the wrist. Red crimson liquid dripped from her wound like water leaking from a broken pipe.
"Really, now..."
