1375 VR Demonstration
Date- 7 April 2321
Time- 15:43
Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Card Creationist Association, Auction House
Seeing Chris’s disappointing card demonstration, I shook my head thinking that he did not deserve his origin card. Maybe I should reconsider adding him to my calamity daughter gem collection and consider plundering his origin card for myself. No, despite how useless Chris was he was still a Western prince, killing him would only bring me endless trouble. So, it was best if I stick to the original plan implanted a calamity daughter gem in him.
After Chris’s card demonstration was concluded, the spotlight shone on me and I heard the announcer request, “Master Wyatt, please.”
As took control of the auction hall’s display formation the audience looked at me with great anticipation. They all were wondering what were two cards I created and if they both were A-rank cards. Not letting them wait any longer I displayed both the cards I created on the auction hall’s display formation.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Seeing his opponent display two card info of two similar cards Chris was confused, he did not understand why the boy would display two cards. Was there a glitch in the display array of the auction house causing the display screen to split in two?
Chris looked at the audience to get clues about the situation from their reaction but they did not seem to react and acted as if everything was normal. Then Chris turned to look at the referee and the Southern card creation association staff their reaction was similar to the audience.
Frowning, Chris decided to wait and watch. So he began to go through both the card info displayed. To his surprise the did not understand what the card actually did. What did it mean by the user’s physical body would rest in the cocoon while their consciousness enters the virtual reality?
Going through the card info of both the cards created by the boy the audience, viewers, and staff were not surprised that both the cards he created were the same. What surprised them was that both the cards were of A-rank. The boy had managed to create two A-rank cards before Chris despite the clear difference in their realms. This was a tough nut for them to understand and found questioning how was that even possible despite having witnessed it with their own two eyes.
Their surprise wasn’t finished there as after reading the card effects they did not understand what it did, what was virtual reality, VR Saferoom, and VR City. These were all new terms to them. So they couldn’t understand what the card did except for the part where the VR cocoon would nourish the physical body of the user when their consciousness was away.
The audience went through the card info repeatedly hoping that they would be enlightened about its effects, when that failed they all looked at the boy for the answer who seemed to be in no hurry to being explaining his card.
I patiently waited until I had the complete attention of the audience and staff, then I declared, “I will explain along with a demonstration as it will be easier for you to understand what the VR cocoon does by witnessing it in action, volunteers please come to the stage.”
Soon the two card lords from the previous demonstration climbed the stage. Seeing them I said, “Please share your contact information with each other and me.”
The volunteers nodded and did as I said. Then I handed each a VR Cocoon card informing, “Equip the card and do not resist its skills, I vouch that you will not be harmed in any way. So, have no fear using them.”
“Yes, Master Wyatt,” the two card lords nodded in agreement and then equipped the cards as I asked them to, and following my signal, they activated them chanting, “Activate VR Cocoon.”
With the burst of brilliant light, the two card lords were nowhere to be seen however there were two human-sized cocoons in their place indicating that they had entered the VR Cocoon.
The audience, viewers, and staff looked at the boy’s card demonstration without blinking an eye because they knew they were going to witness something new.
Yes, none of them knew what Virtual reality, VR Saferoom, and VR city meant but seeing how these words were displayed on the card info they knew these were not just a bunch of made-up words but they had a meaning to them. Otherwise, the creation of such cards would not have been possible.
This was why the high-ranking card apprentice and card creationist in the audience went through the card info repeatedly. The fact that these cards existed showed that the ability mentioned in their card info was real and possible. So, despite not understanding the words they repeatedly went through the card info. And all failed, they turned to the card’s creator for answers.
There was not much in this world that the high-ranking card creationists and card apprentices did not know, so coming across a card with effects and skills they were not familiar with they were curious and excited to learn something new.
It wasn’t just the audience even the mighty referee was giving his undivided attention to the boy’s card demonstration. Just like the audience he too had no clue as to what the card created by the boy did. If he were to boldly guess, then based on the card effect displayed by the card info he would guess the card allowed the user’s consciousness to leave their physical body and wander around, a dimension called virtual reality.
However, the same was not true for Chris, he was stuck trying to figure out why did his opponent use two similar cards for his card demonstration?
