"I’m only trying to protect you," she responded. Asher sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I need some space, alright? I can take care of myself." She didn’t budge, and just kept staring at him with that same obsessive look, like she had no intention of leaving. "Is it because you’re strong now? Are you going to leave me because I'm no use to you anymore?” Her voice had turned cold, sharp enough to cut through the silence. “Of course not, you know that’s not the reason…” “Then why do you want me to stop following you?” “I’m just going to the restroom, for God’s sake!” He massaged his temple, clearly at his wit’s end. “Oh, you should have said that earlier.” She giggled, the earlier tension melting away. “I did,” he sighed in defeat.

Dragonic Scales RR In a world where duels determine everything from power to prestige, Jarek stands at the crossroads of revolution. His unique ability to craft cards, specifically tailored to a duelist’s soul, makes him a rare and dangerous player in an underground system controlled by corporate monopolies. These corporations dominate the legal production and distribution of cards, making it nearly impossible for rogue creators like Jarek to thrive. But a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is about to change that. The story begins with Jarek trading his custom-crafted cards to Benji, a nervous young duelist whose soul card—Chaos Rabbit of Trickery—has great potential but lacks the necessary support. Jarek sees an opportunity in Benji, not just to test his creations, but to use him as part of a much larger plan. The annual Card Kings tournament is approaching, a high-stakes event where the winner gains a coveted prize: the freedom to legally produce and distribute their own cards without interference from the corporations. For Jarek, this tournament represents his chance to dismantle the system that keeps independent card creators in the shadows. By partnering with powerful duelist and others, he plans to showcase the power of his custom-made cards and disrupt the carefully controlled market. But the tournament is no easy feat—it’s a brutal, cutthroat competition where duels are not just about winning, but survival. And with some of the most powerful duelists and corporate-backed teams entering the fray, the stakes have never been higher. Jarek’s strategy is to introduce chaos—literally. His custom cards, like Moonlight Chaos, turn seemingly weak, multiplying rabbits into rampaging, unstoppable forces, reflecting the unpredictable nature of his approach. He knows that if his partners can make a strong showing in the tournament, his reputation as an underground card creator will explode, drawing more attention to his abilities and challenging the monopolies. As the tournament progresses, alliances are made and broken, duels are fought in brutal arenas, and Jarek must not only outwit his opponents but also navigate the dangers of the underground world. If he can pull off his plan, he’ll gain not just the freedom to create, but the power to reshape the entire dueling world. However, failure means more than just losing—it could mean the end of his career, his freedom, and possibly his life.
