I am turning this into the full uncut version called Punishment of Redemption, it features two Yu-Gi-Oh! Dimensions (The Manga and Anime together.) *Explanations at bottom of chapters for each Universe and gods, so you can read not knowing both versions or egyptian mythology. The Blue-Eyes dragon has arisen. The Dark Magician is lying in wait within a friend, as well as the rebirth of Mana in another. Pharoah Atem has been given a mortal body again, as well as a random egyptian of no importance whatsoever, who happened to be friends with Bakura in Egypt. These shouldn't be taken lightly. A high Egyptian Pharoah well-known even today has casted judgment against Earth, and only goddess cats of trickery even give a damn. But the way to take things back? Blood will spill. Souls will be damned. Love and friendship will be tested. The cost to play this game though, needs a gentler Universe to help pay the exorbitant fee. Treated like commodities, Atem is tricked out of his afterlife, Yugi and Tea are cursed with millennium items grafted to them, and nobody can escape payment. As Seto Kaiba found out, it won't be through a checking account but by Egyptian power and sacrifice. File changing will take some time. Eventual title change will come later. I decided to change this to the original long version due to the sequel actually having these two dimensions coming together.

Trilby didn't lose herself all at once. No. The wheels began turning slowly but surely, when she met with the father she'd last seen as a mere toddler and the family he chose over her. They are nothing like her, and they make sure she knows it. From the moment Trilby steps into their perfect home, all dripping wet while dragging her drenched and heavily packed suitcases on their grey Persian carpet, she is not so subtly glared at. She is condemned. Her fate, sealed. In a mansion built on appearances and silence, she quickly becomes the cold reminder of what her father, their dad, once did. Every look strips her down, every dinner turns into a quiet execution and it's not long before every argument is about her. Surrounded by cold smiles, unspoken resentments, a family that wants absolutely nothing to do with her and nowhere to go after her mother blatantly forsook her for her new husband and her two step children, Trilby mistakes survival with self-destruction. By the time her mother, the reason Trilby is with her father's other family, notices or her father finally looks closer, the signs are no longer warnings but wreckage. Trilby is broken beyond repair and a long lost course. Yet somewhere in the quiet aftermath of her destruction, the world seems to hold its breath, waiting. Trilby's life, once a predictable arc of reckless choices and fleeting pleasures, is now teetered on an edge she hadn't realized existed. A pivot she didn't see coming, a whisper of something, or better yet a certain someone, who'd always been there, but she'd been too blind to note. But now, faced by her new cold reality of raw pain and emptiness, his presence seemed to pulse with unspoken significance. As though he had been waiting for this exact moment, waiting for her to stumble, to break, to see. And in that realization, chilling yet oddly comforting, Trilby feels the first strange tug of a new path opening, one that might lead to more ruin or revelation...
