My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Shen Sui looked at Doron opposite him, his expression like his balls were hurting.

Damn it, out of a dozen Life Card Masters, of all people I had to draw this guy.

It’s not that Doron is especially strong, it’s just that his deck is really...

But you have to admit, someone like Doron is actually pretty popular over in America; that kind of kink seems to be all over the place there.

"Oh, Shen Sui, I’ve heard of you." Doron might be a pervert, but he was still super enthusiastic—though Shen Sui wished he wouldn’t say a single word to him.

Shen Sui gave a polite little smile. "Hello."

"Haha. Didn’t expect my first opponent in this tournament to be you." Doron showed a troubled look. He wasn’t the type of Life Card Master with an inflated ego, he didn’t think he could just steamroll Shen Sui. "I thought I’d be having a pleasant night tonight, you know."

As he spoke, Doron even pointed at the bag beside him. "I even brought props."

No... bro, I get that you’re a hardcore perv, but you really don’t need to demonstrate it every waking second in front of me.

Shen Sui didn’t pick up his line and instead said on his own, "Everyone else has started already, let’s start too."

"As this tournament goes on, things are just going to get more dangerous." Doron lit up his Dueling Device as he spoke to Shen Sui. "You’re still so young, you can’t handle dangerous things. How about you just let me win this Duel?"

Hearing Doron’s words, Shen Sui instantly started sweating beans.

Are you trying to grasp danger or trying to mate with it?

"Only the victor has the right to say he can grasp danger." Shen Sui replied.

Seeing that his attempt at talking him down failed, Doron looked disappointed, but his hands never stopped moving. "You’re right, only the victor has the right to say that. Then let the Duel begin."

With that, Doron raised his Dueling Device.

With both sides in agreement, the Duel began.

The Thor Cup opened under this bizarre atmosphere.

The instant the Duel Realm unfolded, the look in every Life Card Master’s eyes changed.

Even though this match came with all sorts of external factors, even though there was still a powerful enemy outside waiting to be defeated, the moment the Duel started, they all became pure Duelists.

Doron included.

There were a lot of things about Doron that made Shen Sui want to roast him to hell and back.

Like his perverted fetishes, his frivolous words, his disgusting deck, or his gender-fluid self-identification.

But you couldn’t deny that Doron had his own unique Duelist aura. When the Duel Realm unfolded, Shen Sui could clearly feel a certain presence radiating from him.

It was like he’d fused with his deck.

"Oh, whenever I see its graceful figure, I think of that sweet night." Taking the first turn, Doron pointed at the Twisted Octopus he’d just summoned and said, "Its slimy tentacles are a sensation I’ll never forget for the rest of my life."

Fuck me, you really have fused with your deck!

Shen Sui stared at the hideous soft-bodied creature twisted to the extreme on the field. Its wildly contorted body looked like a lump of cancer cells mashed into meat, its appearance pushed madness and chaos to the limit.

The key thing was, after hearing Doron’s words, Shen Sui reflexively took a more serious look at it, and actually spent a few seconds thinking about what kind of way one would even defile this thing.

Those few seconds almost made his entire spiritual world collapse.

Spiritual Attack! This is absolutely a Spiritual Attack!

Shen Sui immediately gathered his mind.

Didn’t expect this, seriously didn’t expect this.

My opponent’s actually an Extraordinary who can inflict spiritual damage through a Duel!

Doron noticed Shen Sui’s expression. "You look like you’re in pain."

"I was thinking about how to kill you." Shen Sui said bluntly.

Doron burst out laughing. "You’re not the first person to say that to me, but my conscience is clear."

As he spoke, Doron pointed toward Theis, who was Duelling in the distance. "The first time I Duelled that guy, as soon as the Duel Realm faded, he walked up and gave me three punches, sent me straight to the hospital."

The corner of Shen Sui’s mouth twitched; he hadn’t expected there to be that kind of history between Doron and Theis.

"I thought you and Theis were getting along fine as teammates?" Shen Sui said.

"Of course." Doron said very seriously. "I couldn’t beat him, so the only option was to become his friend."

Good god, what kind of logic is that.

"Besides, that’s a pretty normal reaction for Theis. I’ve had way worse." Doron pointed at his own head as he spoke. "Once, after a Duel, a guy put a bullet in my skull. The bullet’s still in my brain to this day."

"..."

"Haha, no need to pity me. People don’t accept me, sure, but I’m living happily, aren’t I?" Doron patted his deck. "I get to fight side by side with my lovers."

"No..." Shen Sui said expressionlessly, "I just wanted to say, if you don’t start your play, your turn’s gonna time out."

Only then did Doron remember they were in the middle of a Duel.

"Oh~! Sorry."

Doron slapped his own forehead and activated the effect of the Monster Bride - Twisted Octopus on the field. "Activating Twisted Octopus’s effect: I choose one Monster Bride Follower Card from my deck and special summon it to my field."

He spread out his deck, eyes shining. His gaze fell on each Follower Card with equal parts tenderness and pity.
