After transmigrating, card-game enthusiast You Tuo thought he could make a name for himself in this low-powered card-game world: trounce Kaiba, kick Yugi's butt, become the Duel King, and reach the pinnacle of life with a Sky Striker Ace in one arm and a Dragonmaid in the other.
But things didn't go as planned. For various reasons, he first had to become a proud wage slave, selling his soul to the evil capitalist of the card-game world, Seto Kaiba.
So, before becoming Duel King... he became the Kaiba Corporation's chief card designer, as well as the head of the Environment Balance Department and the Game Promotion Department.
"Let's see what the netizens think... They want Heroes buffed? You got it! Next pack: Masked HERO Dark Law and Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer!"
"They like interacting with their opponents and want more trap cards... What era are you living in, still using old-fashioned traps? Is that archetype from last time ready? Right, the one with Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, and Maxx 'C'..."
"They want low-level monsters to get stronger and stop being looked down on... Easy! The next archetype will be Spright! The ace monster will be Gigantic Spright! I'll design it myself!"
Over time, duelists everywhere begin to greet him with these warm words:
-- You bastard card designer, when are you gonna die?
Damn it, that eunuch!
