Albion looked at the half-eaten donut in his hand and grinned. "Alright, donut—you've done your job. Let's see if you can survive the great dimensional commute."
He found a quiet bench in the park, flopped down, and yawned. "Exodia said just dream, right? Easy enough."
His eyes slowly closed.
And then—
WHAM!
He jolted awake, this time surrounded by the familiar mansion, with the same roof and the clpud
He blinked once. Looked down at his hand. Looked at the bed. Looked at the celling.
"…No donut."
He stared at the empty space where the donut should have been and sighed dramatically. "Rest in peace, glazed hero. Your sacrifice will be remembered."
After a moment of silence for the fallen pastry, Albion flopped back down on the bed. "Okay, so food doesn't survive world travel. Noted. Next test—double jump!"
He curled up like a cat and closed his eyes again.
Seconds later—
POOF!
He shot up on the same park bench back in the human world, his hair a mess, eyes wide and glowing slightly.
"It worked! I can jump back and forth!" He grinned like a maniac, earning more strange looks from passersby.
A little kid pointed at him. "Mommy, that boy keeps disappearing and reappearing!"
The mother laughed nervously. "Sweetie, don't stare."
Albion waved awkwardly, muttering, "It's fine, I'm just defying universal physics."
Then he froze, realization dawning again.
"…Wait. If I'm here, and this is the human world… then somewhere out there…"
He looked toward Domino City in the distance.
"…Kaiba and Yugi should exist. And they're probably around my age right now."
He grinned, a mischievous spark lighting up his eyes. "Alright, little Blue-Eyes buddy, time to meet your future rival and your future… uh, emotional damage source."
He stood, stretching, and began walking down the street.
"First stop—snack shop. Second stop—Kaiba Corp kindergarten or whatever school they're in. Third stop—pretend to be normal. Totally foolproof plan."
He passed a toy shop window where a couple of people were dueling with small prototype Duel Disks. One of them was shouting, "Go, Dark Magician!" while another was yelling, "No! Blue-Eyes White Dragon attack!"
Albion froze mid-step.
He turned slowly toward the kids, eyes twitching.
"…That's Asteron."
He stared at the Blue-Eyes card they held up, his expression a mix of pride and disbelief.
"That's… flattering? Terrifying? Why does Asterion hologram roar like I'm constipated!?"
Albion squinted at the toy shop window, watching the holographic "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" roar like a foghorn through a tin can.
He pointed at it, offended on a spiritual level. "Excuse me—EXCUSE ME—what is that supposed to be?"
The kids ignored him, too busy cheering as "Blue-Eyes" vaporized a poor Dark Magician toy.
Albion pressed his face to the glass, muttering. "That thing's supposed to be majestic? I have scales smoother than that! And who designed those proportions!? His neck looks like a breadstick!"
A passerby stopped beside him. "Uh… kid, you okay?"
Albion looked up, eyes wide and totally serious. "Sir, that dragon is a fraud. I come from a respectable draconic bloodline, and I will not have my species slandered by bad holographic posture!"
The man blinked. "…Right. I'm just gonna… keep walking."
Albion crossed his arms, huffing. "Blue-Eyes… tch. That's Asterion's branch. Typical. Always getting the fame. Probably signed some contract with the Pharaoh or something."
He muttered as he walked off, "Next thing you know, they'll make a religion out of him."
A few blocks later, he wandered into a small park—only to spot two familiar figures playing on the sandbox.
One had wild tri-colored hair and huge eyes. The other had sharp blue ones, arms crossed, already radiating smugness despite being seven years old.
Albion froze mid-step.
"…You have got to be kidding me."
The smaller of the two, Yugi, was holding up a makeshift card and smiling. "Okay, Kaiba, your turn!"
Kaiba grinned with the smugness of a child who had never known defeat. "Hmph, easy. I summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
A tiny hologram from his toy flared up with light—again, the same badly-rendered dragon.
Albion's right eye twitched.
"I swear to Exodia, if I have to see that model one more time—"
Then he stopped mid-rant.
Wait. That's Kaiba. Seto Kaiba.
And that's Yugi Mutou.
He looked between the two, realization hitting like a dimensional freight train.
"Oh no," he whispered. "I've gone back to the early timeline. Before Duel Disks. Before Millennium Items. Before all the chaos."
He clutched his head. "Oh God, they're children. They're so tiny."
Kaiba noticed him and frowned. "Hey, who are you supposed to be? You lost or something?"
Albion blinked, realizing he was just standing there like a statue. Then his instincts kicked in.
He straightened, puffed his chest, and smiled awkwardly. "Uh, hi! I'm… Albion! New kid in town! Just… moved here from, uh… far away. Across the ocean. Totally not from another dimension!"
Yugi blinked. "Oh, nice to meet you, Albion! Wanna play a game?"
Albion froze, his inner alarm screaming.
Oh no. It begins.
He forced a nervous smile. "Sure! What kind of game are we talking about…?"
Kaiba smirked. "A card game, obviously. Ever heard of Duel Monsters?"
Albion's expression slowly drained of color.
"…You mean the game based on us?"
Yugi tilted his head. "Based on what?"
Albion smiled weakly, trying not to have a draconic identity crisis in front of two kindergartner schoolers.
"Oh, nothing," he said, voice cracking. "Just… trying not to sue the creator of your entire franchise."
Albion thoughts to him self. "Wait, why do Kaiba and Yugi know Eachother as kids, in Canon they never knew Eachother in Canon, how did this happen, why did this happen, they meet in Highschool not kindergartner, ok Albion keep your self cool".
Albion looked at them as he spoke. "Yeah I have played before".
Yugi handed him a ready made deck
Kaiba handed him a small stack of cards with the smug confidence of a CEO in training. "Good. Then maybe you'll actually be a challenge for once."
Albion stared at the deck in his hands, blinking slowly. Okay. Calm down. Don't panic. You've read the manga, you've watched the anime, you even survived the filler arcs. You can handle a card game with miniature Kaiba and baby Yugi.
He drew his opening hand and froze.
Every single card was a normal monster. No spells. No traps. Not even a shiny one.
…God, this feels like the early 90s format.
Kaiba smirked. "I summon Hitotsu-Me Giant in attack mode!"
The little hologram popped up from his plastic toy reader — a wobbly green cyclops holding a stick.
Yugi cheered. "Wow, cool summon Kaiba!"
Albion forced a smile. "Yeah… totally terrifying. I'm quaking in my boots."
Kaiba's smirk widened. "Don't underestimate my deck, newbie."
Albion sighed. "Sure thing, CEO in progress."
He looked at his cards, thought for a moment, and then slammed one down. "Fine! I summon Baby Dragon in attack mode!"
The hologram flickered to life — a small orange dragon, cute and chubby.
Albion blinked. "...Wait a sec."
He leaned closer. "That's me… but in baby form."
Yugi tilted his head. "Huh?"
Albion waved his hands. "NOTHING! Totally fine! Just… admiring the craftsmanship! Totally not having an existential crisis seeing my species as a trading card!"
Kaiba crossed his arms. "You talk too much."
Albion's eye twitched. "And you look like you were born with a trust fund!"
Yugi nervously laughed as the two glared at each other across the sandbox. "Um… guys? It's just a game…"
Albion huffed, looking down at his Baby Dragon. "Alright, little me, show him what we're made of!"
The hologram tried its best — puffing a small, adorable fireball that fizzled before hitting Kaiba's monster.
Kaiba didn't even blink. "I attack and destroy your Baby Dragon."
Albion watched as his dragon went poof in a cloud of pixels. He fell to his knees, whispering dramatically.
"They killed me…"
Yugi rushed over, panicked. "Albion, are you okay!?"
Albion slowly looked up at him, dead serious. "Yugi… I understand now why this world breeds trauma."
Kaiba rolled his eyes. "You're weird."
Albion smirked. "You have no idea, Blue-Eyes fanboy in training."
Kaiba blinked. "Blue what?"
Albion froze, realizing he might've just spoiled his entire timeline.
Oh crap.
He quickly waved his hands. "Uh—nothing! Just—uh—future nickname! You'll love it later!"
Kaiba frowned suspiciously. "You're strange."
Albion sighed. Yup. Reverse isekai life. Back to losing duels to six-year-olds and trying not to rewrite history.
Albion put the Deck down as he spoke. "You, gave me a ready made deck".
Kaiba looked at him as he spoke. "So, what about it?"
Albion remember his past life as he spoke. "This is not my deck".
Kaiba just snapped his finger, as Buttler came from nowhere as he opned a suitcase with card
"What the fuck where did he come from". Albion screamed in his head.
Kaiba looked at him as he spoke. "Make your deck".
Albion blinked as the butler opened the suitcase — rows upon rows of pristine cards gleaming under the sunlight like holy relics. Every card neatly organized, sleeved, and alphabetized. The sheer smell of fresh cardstock hit him like divine perfume.
Oh my god… he's six and already has a butler carrying a briefcase of meta cards. No wonder this kid grows up a billionaire.
Kaiba crossed his arms, tapping his foot impatiently. "Well? Pick your cards. I don't have all day."
Albion blinked. "You're six. What meetings do you even have?"
Kaiba shrugged. "Company stuff."
Albion's eye twitched. "Right. Of course. 'Company stuff.' My bad, Mr. CEO."
As he knelt down beside the suitcase, he skimmed through the contents. Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, Dark Magician, some prototype spell cards— but what made him stop cold was one section tucked neatly in the corner.
Albaz… Branded Fusion… Dragonmaids…
Albion's jaw dropped. These shouldn't even exist in this timeline.
He glanced up at Kaiba, who was looking away with his usual bored expression. How the hell do you have future archetypes in a suitcase, you smug little gremlin?
Still, Albion picked up the cards, feeling their familiar energy pulse in his hands — like home.
He smirked. "Well, since I'm gonna be the Dragon King someday, might as well play like one."
He began assembling his deck with practiced hands — Chamber Dragonmaid, House Dragonmaid, Albaz, Branded Fusion, Hospitality, Changeover — all clicking into place like old friends.
Kaiba leaned forward. "Dragonmaids? That's your choice?"
Albion grinned. "Cute doesn't mean weak, Kaiba. Don't underestimate housekeepers with wings."
Yugi peeked over curiously. "They're so adorable…"
Kaiba scoffed. "Adorable doesn't win duels."
Albion chuckled, shuffling his newly made deck with a flourish. "Wanna test that theory, rich boy?"
Kaiba smirked. "Gladly."
They both placed their decks down on a small portable Duel Disk prototype (courtesy of Kaiba's family tech division, apparently). The moment they activated it, tiny projectors hummed to life, and the playmat glowed with faint holographic light.
Yugi stepped back with wide eyes. "Whoa… that's so cool!"
Kaiba pointed dramatically. "I'll go first!"
He slammed a card down. "I summon Saggi the Dark Clown in defense mode!"
Albion tried not to laugh. Oh yeah. This really is the ancient era of dueling.
He smirked and drew. "My turn! I summon Parlor Dragonmaid!"
The hologram shimmered to life — a maid with emerald hair and dragon wings, bowing politely before preparing her magic.
Kaiba blinked. "What… is that supposed to be?"
Albion grinned. "Your loss in a frilly uniform."
Kaiba scoffed. "Tch. Good luck getting past my defense clown."
Albion smirked. "Oh, I don't need luck." He raised a card dramatically. "I play Dragonmaid Changeover!"
Yugi gasped. "He's fusing!?"
A pillar of light erupted from the tiny holographic platform as Albion fused Parlor into House Dragonmaid, whose elegant wings spread across the mat like radiant silk.
Kaiba's eyes widened. "What—That's—That's actually strong!"
Albion pointed forward. "House Dragonmaid, attack Saggi the Dark Clown! Burn the circus!"
The hologram unleashed a fiery blast, vaporizing Kaiba's monster. Kaiba flinched as his life points dropped.
Yugi clapped. "That was amazing!"
Albion grinned, leaning on his disk. "Told you, Kaiba. You don't need Blue-Eyes to be a Dragon King."
Kaiba crossed his arms, glaring. "We'll see about that. Next round, I'm bringing something better."
Then it was Kaiba turn, as he pulled out his card. "I draw Dragon Knight in attack mode".
He placed the card down, as he continues. "I summoned this card in face down mode, I draw my spell card Dragon Mirror in face up mode"
He then shuffled his card. "I summoned Maiden of White, I special Summon Blue Eyes white Dragon".
He said with a laugh as he puled from his Extra Deck. "I place down Crossout Designator, in face down, I end my Turn"
Albion saw this as he spoke in his head. "Even as a 6 year old, he's going full Dragon God, will Chame, Time to show them".
Meanwhile in the Monster Chame woke up confused before going back to sleep.
Albion started to pull out his card. "I normal summon Chamber Dragon Maide, using her Ability I use to look for Hospitality".
Albion drew from his deck as he found the card. "I pull out Striker from my Extra Deck and chain with Hospitality".
As he does that, he puts Chamber card in the graveyard which had a pinch of guild in his heart. "I use Hospitality to summon Chamber from thee grave".
He Puts her back as he puts her dragon from and Hospitality into hr graveyard. "I am then allowed to pull out from my extra Deck Lady Dragon Maid, I sacrifice Chamber and One of my Dragon's".
Albion does that as he continues. "I activated Lady to Summoned Parlor"
The holographic image's of Bright green hair, often styled with a white maid headpiece.
She wears a traditional black and white maid uniform, consisting of a dress, a white apron, a petticoat, and a matching headpiece. She has a youthful appearance and is often depicted in various service-oriented poses in her card artworks, consistent with her role as a parlor maid who waits on tables.
[Insert image of Parlor Dragon Maide]
Albion then continued. "I activate Parlor to send Tidying Into the grave".
He then pulled out another card. "I then Link it to heavenly spear by using Parlor and Striker".
He put both card in Graveyard and summon the Card and put in spell card slot. "I end my turn".
Kaiba stared at the field, his brows furrowed in that classic "you dare challenge me" expression that, even at six, was already perfect. "Tch, flashy animations don't win duels, prince. You just wasted half your hand."
Albion smirked. "Maybe. Or maybe you'll realize in a few turns that I just built a foundation."
Kaiba rolled his eyes. "We'll see about that. My turn!" He drew a card, dramatically holding it up. "I activate Dragon Mirror!"
Albion's eyes widened. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me—he's six and already knows combos."
Kaiba slapped the card down. "By banishing Maiden of White and Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my field, I fusion summon… Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon!"
The holographic projection roared to life — twin-headed, metallic-blue wings gleaming, both heads crackling with destructive power. The playground trembled from the sheer brightness of the hologram's flare.
Yugi gasped. "That's incredible!"
Albion gritted his teeth. "No way—he already has Twin Burst!? That card shouldn't even be printed yet!"
Kaiba pointed. "Twin Burst, attack his Heavenly Spheres!"
The twin heads charged up glowing orbs of energy and unleashed them. Albion's Dragonmaid Spheres exploded in a flash, his Life Points dropping slightly as the smoke cleared.
Albion smirked. "You really thought that'd work twice, didn't you?"
Kaiba blinked. "What?"
Albion gestured at the glowing remnants of the destroyed sphere. "You just triggered Heavenly Spheres' effect, genius."
Kaiba's eyes widened. "No—"
Albion snapped his fingers. "I return your Twin Burst to your hand!"
The Twin Burst shimmered and vanished into blue light, reverting back into Kaiba's deck. Kaiba's jaw tightened, his fists clenching.
Albion then pointed to his own field. "And since Spheres was tributed, I can special summon one Dragonmaid from my deck! I choose—Dragonmaid Tinkhec!"
A tall, elegant dragon with blazing crimson scales appeared, her armor gleaming gold. She twirled her spear, eyes sharp but graceful.
Yugi clapped his hands, awed. "Wow! She's so cool!"
Kaiba glared, cheeks puffing slightly in frustration. "She's just a glorified servant with wings!"
Albion smirked. "Yeah? Then you just got owned by a glorified servant."
Kaiba's face turned red as he hissed, "I—I end my turn."
Albion chuckled as he drew his next card, tapping it against the deck with confidence. "Heh, guess money can't buy talent."
Yugi whispered to himself, "I think this is the first time Kaiba's ever been out-sassed."
Albion pointed forward. "Now, my turn begins—and it's time for the maids to clean up this mess!"
