After Zero (A Yu-gi-oh story with no dueling)

It was loud. The only thing that could be heard in fact. A massive pillar of light had broken through the ground, and was shattering the land. People could only watch as their impending doom advanced, stopping for nothing as even mountains were torn up by the beam. It was then that they appeared. Duel monster spirits, drawn out by humanity's wishes, tenacity and sorrow, rose from the spirit world. The mightiest among them guarded humanity, their immense power deflecting the calamity.

In the aftermath the land was left upheaved, everything had been destroyed and sunk under water. No cities remained and only the areas which the spirits had defended were left. Pooling their power, the spirits dragged the locations to one another creating one continent surrounded by the ocean. Initially they mingled and coexisted, building cities and infrastructure for the humans that had called out to them. But it was soon apparent that the spirits were inevitably meant to be divided from each other. Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link were not intended to commingle and eventually they would destroy each other. So, the strongest of each division, that is to say the de facto leaders of each division came to an agreement. They were to keep away from each other and form their own countries, strictly enforce their borders and protect the humans which they would take with them. The event which brought the spirits to the world came to be known as Second Zero Reverse. That is how this world came to be.

This is a story that uses elements and characters from the Yu-gi-oh franchise but does not contain any dueling. This story's fights are more traditional battles. This story follows Bruno, an orphan from the synchro region. One day he suddenly finds himself running away in a different region, and meets a mysterious spirit who starts him on his journey.
