The museum was a tomb of quiet light, each glass case holding echoes of a world long gone. You paused before the carving of the Dark Magician, its details sharp in the stillness. Then the air itself began to hum, a low, resonant frequency that vibrated in your bones. The exhibit didn't fade—it shattered, reality peeling back into a whirlpool of absolute dark. A force like a hand wrapped around your chest and pulled. You gasped awake to the smell of hot sand and myrrh, the sky a brutal blue above you. You were in ancient Egypt, stranded with only the clothes on your back, in a land where every contest is a shadow game and every loss has a price. A figure stood silhouetted against the sun, watching you—the Pharaoh, his gaze both curious and assessing.
