I'm another one from Earth. Domino City, Japan. Early 21st century. A city on the cutting edge of the future, largely thanks to my company's contributions to technological advancement. My duel disk is a small example of the tech's potential, if anyone wants a personal demonstration.

As far as 'magic'...I've been dragged kicking and screaming into accepting it, but I have to admit it existed, once. People with the potential could allegedly transform their souls into monsters, to be used in combat. It all happened in the deserts of Egypt thousands of years ago, and was meant to stay buried...but as long as the battle remained unresolved, the souls of the dead were stuck here, I guess.

Some idiots made bad decisions with the artifacts that contained that power, the spirit of a lost pharaoh ended up haunting my classmate...and then the pharaoh taunted me, through him. Souls were stolen and sealed and ripped apart all while I was just trying to beat said pharaoh at a game of skill to settle our differences. It was exhausting. And then he had the nerve to leave without a word to me, after everything he'd put me through.

But he finally got to rest, I guess. Got the last laugh after all. And...well, a few thousand years is a long time to have to wait to go home.
