Jake gave a faint smile, clasping his hands together and clapping lightly.

  "Clap, clap, clap..."

  The applause echoed in the empty room.

  The next second, the entire room began to shake violently.

  "Holy crap, is it an earthquake?" Liam had just stood up, ready to hide under the chair for safety, when he realized that the shaking wasn't caused by an earthquake, but by some other change.

  Liam and Jake's chairs were rising continuously, soon reaching mid-air.

  The floor of the room was also sinking steadily.

  A huge space instantly appeared between the two.

  "This..." Liam's mouth fell open, not quite understanding what was happening.

  "Remember that Game King cartoon we watched as kids? The characters could use virtual technology to project the monsters from their cards into reality to fight during duels!" Jake said with a smile.

  Game King, in simple terms, is where both sides summon monsters from their cards to fight. Whoever's monster survives to the end wins the game!

  Of course, there are also magic cards, trap cards, and special cards to help the monsters fight.

  Liam's eyes widened, and he quickly asked, "Boss, are you saying that when we play Game King here, we can summon the monsters like in the cartoon, instead of just playing cards like in a poker game, with each person playing a card and purely using imagination?"

  Game King was a once-popular cartoon, and Liam used to play it with his friends every day as a kid.

  At that immature age, every time he played a monster card, he would close his eyes and quietly imagine the monster appearing before him, rampaging under his command, destroying everything, and ultimately achieving victory.

  Every time he watched the Game King cartoon, he fantasized about fighting alongside the monsters like the protagonists in the cartoon, instead of staring at cold cards and imagining the battles between monsters.

  As he grew older, he realized that this was an unrealistic fantasy.

  He could only bury the dreams of his childhood deep within him.

  Occasionally, when he thought about it, he would laugh at how naive he was back then.

  But today...

  Liam's body trembled slightly, and there was an irrepressible excitement in his eyes.

  When Jake nodded in confirmation, Liam could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart and shouted with a fist raised.

  "Boss, you're awesome!"

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  "You've brought the stuff from the Game King cartoon to life!"

  "Start quickly, start quickly!"

  "My childhood dream has actually come true!"

  Liam urged repeatedly.

  He couldn't wait to start the Game King duel and realize his childhood dream.

  "Then let's start. Choose your deck!"

  "I want Kaiba's deck!" Liam shouted immediately.

  Kaiba is one of the characters in Game King, and the most famous card in his deck is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

  The Blue-Eyes White Dragon has a cool appearance and powerful strength, and has always been one of the most popular cards in Game King.

  At the same time, there are only three in the Game King world, all in Kaiba's deck.

  "Then I'll take Yugi's deck," Jake made his choice as well.

  "Boss, have you thought this through? Although Yugi's deck has the invincible monster card, Forbidden One Exodia, you can only summon it by collecting all five Forbidden One cards. Do you think you will have that luck?" Liam laughed.

  "Let's start!" Jake placed his deck into a slot that popped out of the chair.

  Liam also put down his deck.

  At this moment, the space between the two transformed, revealing mountains, rivers, and kingdoms.

  The two were like supreme gods, overlooking the world and all living beings beneath their feet.

  "My turn, I summon the Cyclops!"

  Liam launched the first attack, drawing a card from his deck and throwing it onto the field.

  The card flew into the air and suddenly burst into a dazzling light, followed by the appearance of a phantom.

  As time passed, the phantom gradually solidified, forming a tall giant.

  This giant had a strong physique, dark green skin, no nose on its face, only a mouth and one eye, occupying the upper and lower halves of its face respectively.

  "Roar!"

  The moment the Cyclops appeared, it roared, and its thick legs stomped heavily, causing the world beneath their feet to tremble violently.

  Mountains collapsed and rivers surged.

  Several houses in the human kingdom instantly collapsed, and countless humans wailed in the shadow of the Cyclops.

  "Hahahaha!"

  Liam laughed wildly, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes!

  How many years ago, when he was still young, wasn't this how he dreamed Game King would be?

  Summoning monsters by throwing cards and controlling them to fight!

  Instead of just facing the cards and shouting some incredibly chuunibyou words like some weirdo!

  "Cyclops," Jake smiled faintly, drew a card from his deck, and threw it out.

  "I summon Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress!"

  The card spun in the air, constantly enlarging, and then a blue winged dragon spread its wings and broke free from the enlarged card, waving its wings and floating in the air, facing the Cyclops from afar.

  Each time the blue winged dragon flapped its wings, the resulting airflow could form a storm, sweeping across the earth and stirring up rolling dust.

  "Attack!"

  Jake and Liam shouted in unison.

  The Cyclops strode forward, each step causing the world beneath its feet to tremble.

  Its arms waved in the air, its momentum was amazing.

  The blue winged dragon opened its mouth, and fiery red elements constantly gathered together, forming a fireball with terrifying heat.

  Even space seemed to be distorted by the high temperature.

  "Boom!"

  The fireball shot out, like a newborn sun, dazzlingly bright, and neither of them dared to look directly at it.

  They only heard a loud noise in their ears, and the Cyclops began to wail.

  When their vision returned, the Cyclops was burning with flames, and was soon burned to ashes!

  Although the monster he summoned was defeated, there was no trace of disappointment on Liam's face; instead, he was extremely excited.

  "Don't worry, I have other monster cards!"

  "You won't beat me!"

  At this moment, he had realized his childhood dream, and he was happy even if he lost!

  The two were in the heat of battle in the Tabletop Game Mania.

  Outside, two people arrived.

  "What's Liam doing? Didn't we agree to get hot pot after work today? Where is he? Mike, are you sure Liam is in here?" Ethan asked.

  "Yeah," Mike nodded and said, "I saw the boss mention that he was looking for someone to play the Game King tabletop game, and then he dragged Liam in."

  "Isn't that something we played when we were kids?" Ethan wondered, "Besides, it's just playing Game King; surely it won't take this long. He's such an adult; can he really be that addicted to this stuff?"

  "We'll find out when we go in!" Mike said with a smile.
