The world of The Duel Monsters was a unique one. Where various creatures existed living their day-to-day life.
It was split into 3 separate realms: The Living World, The Zombie World, and The Kingdom. None were allowed to traverse between these realms until their appointed time came.
Souls started in the realm of the living. If they lived righteous lives they would be sent to The Kingdom. If not, then they were sent to The Zombie World. Dead. Some were sent there to redeem themselves as a second chance and some were sent directly to Hell to burn for eternity. Hell is a portion of the Zombie world to remind the dead to correct their ways.
We follow a tale of two brothers. Mezuki and Gozuki. They weren't exactly brothers as there weren't any blood-related families. Since no one was born in the Zombie world just sent there from the realm of the living.
Although families did form as a result of absolute loneliness. As even the dead felt lonely. Mezuki found Gozuki spat into the Zombie world confused. He decided to take him under his wing through his travels.
The Zuki brothers coming back from a long journey to the "Marketplace". Where travellers from all over the world would gather to buy the finest of the undead food, clothes, and resources. You might ask what need did the dead have for food? Well, you wouldn't die here but the pain in your stomach would become unbearable.
The Zuki Brothers walked into their "friend's" bar called the "Uni-Zombies". Two other brothers who ran the longest existing bar in this rotting universe.
"You two look like shit, you know that right?" The fat brother said to the Zuki Brothers as he cleaned a glass.
"And you're bald, so what's your point?" Gozuki shot back at him.
"Haha, why waste your time with these stupid adventures when you can relax and do whatever? I mean I've been alive for a good 1000 years and I've given up trying to redeem myself." The fat one replied.
"There are no second chances after this world. Either you get thrown into The Fire or you can go to The Kingdom. You know the path of the Sloth is one of the paths to Hell as well?" Mezuki said while drinking his glass of water.
"Yeah yeah, I've read the scriptures. Listen, kid, you're only 200 years old and your brother is a solid 50. You'll know when you're older. Your odds here are slim to none. Should have done better in the world of The Living and you wouldn't be here in the first place." The Fat Zombie replied.
Mezuki rolled his eyes as Gozuki got up to use the washroom. In a rotting world, people still cared for hygiene here. The dead and living aren't too different.
As Gozuki tried walking inside, the door flung open hitting him right in the face.
"Hey what the f*** man, watch yourself!" Gozuki put his hand to his face in pain. As the pirate-looking Zombie pulled his pants up halfway down his knees.
"Watch what you say you ugly bull, do you know who I am??" The pirate-looking man said.
"I don't give a sh** who you are bub, I'll smash your head and send you to the pits," Gozuki said angrily as steam came out his nose. Hitting the hammer he had on his hands to show he wasn't a punk.
"You fool, I'm Huecero of the Golden Land. The trusty right hand of Eldlich the Golden Lord!"
Mezuki turned his head around in shock. He was used to Gozuki getting into fights as he was quite the hothead but this was different. The Golden Land soldiers are guys you don't pick fights with. Not because they were strong or anything. The Zuki brothers crushed foes the size of buildings. It was only since they served Eldlich. He was the ruler of the Zombie world. He lived in Golden Land where he held the gateway to the living. Due to this responsibility of his, he held tons of wealth and power.
Mezuki turned around quickly to defuse the situation “You meathead, what did I say?? Don’t just fight with anyone and anything!” It was too late though, Gozuki was already angry as could be. He cocked back his hammer.
“I thought I said, I don’t give a sh** who you are…” swinging his hammer right into the head of Huaquero. Shattering his skull and killing him instantly.
“Oh shi*... what have you done…” Mezuki sighed
