Taking place in a "What-If-Yugi-Lost-The-Final-Duel" time line, we find Yugi Mutou, Atem, and the rest of the gang with a new mission ahead of them: Helping Atem adjust to life in his own body rather than a trapped spirit. Now that Atem is in this world for the long haul, he finds himself struggling to cope with accepting parts of his past may truly be lost. Things could be worse, though...he could be Reika Haijime, a new and yet oddly familiar girl who seems to suffer a strange case of Short Term Memory Disorder, and an even stranger piece of jewelry. Atem is pretty confident fate had meant for him to find her, and likewise, Atem seems to be a face Reika can remember. Only time will tell if that alone will be enough to combat the upcoming challenges approaching from the horizon. Love, loss, and found again, come along as the sands of time reveal the tale of Reika.
A rebellious uprising. An arranged marriage. A rising threat against Egypt. How will the youngest son of Pharaoh Aknamkanon cope with them all?

[My take on the leadup to the Dawn of the Duel arc, weaving some of the Pharaoh's memories with brand new scenarios and events. Canon expansion/worldbuilding. Ensemble cast with TONS of OCs. Suspense, romance, and no end to the drama!]
