My Cell Prison Chapter 1274

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1273: Fate Card Game Chapter 1274: Chapter 1273: Fate Card Game The image of the Door of Truth suited Han Dong's attributes; opening this door would lead him into an entirely new realm.

Yet the mysterious creature sitting before the door left Han Dong somewhat puzzled.

He had neither seen nor heard of such a situation before.

“What in the world is this…”

Since he had arrived here, there was no turning back.

Upon confirming that there was no threat, he slowly approached the other party.

When the distance was reduced to five tiles, the white life form that only had its outlines drawn developed an opening mouth on its face, revealing a gentle smile.

At the same time, a stack of cards in its hand was offered towards Han Dong, face up.

“Care for a game of cards?”

“Cards?” At first, Han Dong thought the other person held a deck to do some kind of divination for him.

“That's right, to open the door, you must play a game with me.

This is your deck; please take care of it first.”

The mysterious life form handed over the deck that was in its hands.

Han Dong's cards had a grey background on their backs, with more three-dimensional formation patterns, and were interwoven with tentacles.

When Han Dong took them, he was taken aback and hastily used all his strength to successfully hold onto the heavy deck.

“So heavy… Each card probably weighs over five kilograms, right?”

As soon as Han Dong accepted the cards, the area immediately changed.

The path leading to the Door of Truth became a scene designed for a card duel.

The square tiles that made up the path began to be arranged in a regular pattern, forming a 100×100 card duel scene.

The position of the mysterious creature did not change, and it was still sitting in front of the door.

Due to the reconfiguration of the scene, Han Dong now found himself at the farthest end, directly opposite the mysterious creature.

It seemed that the upcoming 'card game' would be based on the current scene in front of him.

“I represent 'Truth,' as well as 'Fate.'
Every life form that ascends through the threads of fate will meet me before the Door of Truth. Your system is very special and must pay a corresponding 'price.'
The 'price' is to play a 'Fate Card Game' with me.

I have created this game over six cosmic years, collecting the core essence from a myriad of worlds,
formulating a dynamic set of rules that can adapt to any life form, any duel,
carefully designing the functionality, interactivity, and versatility of each card.

Whenever anything new arises in the myriad worlds, new cards will be derived from the game system, ensuring the balance is always maintained within a certain range.

Information regarding the 'Fate Card Game' must not be disclosed to anyone.

Otherwise, your fate qualifications will be forcibly revoked, so please remember, regardless of win or loss, do not divulge information about the card game to others either directly or indirectly after returning.

The composition of the cards in your hand derives from your life experiences with fate.

The strength, functionality, and rarity of each card are all related to your experiences. Those who have strived during True Fate will receive strong cards here.

Although I have not seen your cards, I can feel that there are several very special and powerful cards among them.

Today's card game should be very interesting; I hope you won't disappoint me.

As for me, I will use a deck collected from myriad worlds to duel with you.”

Swoosh!

The mysterious creature seemed to be holding an invisible thread in its hand.

The thread linked to mirror fragments on both sides, reflecting a myriad of worlds.

As the Fingers tugged, a series of golden-backed cards were drawn out, their number equaling the cards in Han Dong's hand… only the shimmering gold seemed of a higher rank.

“This is… Fate Card?”

Han Dong still remembered that before he Broke the Breed, after every event he experienced, he would obtain Fate Cards that aided in making choices during the event, which in their golden card form resembled the ones before him.

“Preparation time is one hour, get familiar with the rules in advance.”

With that, a book about the size of a human Body Trunk and roughly one meter thick rose from the floor tiles in front of Han Dong – “Detailed version of Destiny Card Duel Book.”

Without considering the various questions in his mind, Han Dong immediately immersed himself in reading the book.

With such thickness, it was simply impossible to read it all in one hour, let alone distill the essence from it.

The first thing Han Dong had to do was [Purification].

Since it was a detailed version, he first converted it into a simplified version.

Han Dong flipped through the book at a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people, with a short, simplified version of the book forming in his head.

“Wait a second! This is the reason the high-ups had me return to the World of Fate!”

Han Dong, upon reading the card explanations, immediately checked his own cards.

The information on the face of the card only included [Imagery], [Background Color], [Border Color], and [Corner Decorations].

Background color indicated the basic category of the card: such as unit cards, event cards, effect cards, trap cards, etc.

Border color showed the card's rarity, similar to Fate Equipment, with higher-quality cards having more outstanding effects.

As Han Dong's Fate experiences had all been quite 'solid,' the quality of his cards was relatively good.

The corner decorations were used to indicate the card's Special Traits, of which Han Dong currently had six types:
1. Cards with a clown face in the corner [Clown card]
2. Cards with the Derry Town Hall emblem in the corner [Town card]
3. Cards with a pyramid pattern in the corner [Pharaoh card]
4. Cards with a coffin Mark in the corner [Zombie card]
5. Cards with a Black Tower marker in the corner [Uncontrolled card]
6. Cards with no markings at all in the corner [Generic card]
The first five were derived from Han Dong's experiences in True Fate, while the last kind came from special experiences in everyday life.

There was one thing that troubled Han Dong.

These cards had no 'textual description' at all, none of the usual attack values and life points of regular cards, nor any usage effects.

There was only one piece of descriptive information: the Imagery depicted on the face of the card.

To use a sentence from the Rule Book to explain – “The function of the card is strictly derived from the related attributes of its Imagery.”

This was why the high-ups had Han Dong visit his past world, to familiarize himself with the individuals and scenes depicted in the imagery, so that he could estimate the effects of the cards… otherwise, defeat was certain.

Moreover, the total number of cards possessed by an individual was [108], but running out of 108 cards would not end the game.

Cards would return to the card library due to usage expiration, Death, forced removal, etc., and would also transform their attributes depending on the circumstances of their exit; for example, a dead unit card might turn into a Dead Spirit or perhaps become a curse card, etc.

As long as one side did not fail, the entire card game would endlessly cycle.

Additionally.

The most important point Han Dong extracted from the Rule Book.

The [complexity] of this card game would vary with the number of rounds played and the strength of the players, which was of utmost importance.

If the changes in the game exceeded the Balance Limit, both sides would end the game in a draw.

All of a sudden.

The giant book in front of Han Dong disappeared.

His Grey cards and the opponent's golden Fate Cards were both drawn by an external force and settled on the ends of a Balance hanging in midair.

“Come on, let me feel the experiences of your Fate.”
