"Well since the last one skipped us ahead a year and let us become more powerful than we could have become with the Gates, maybe the next one will turn us into gods," Yugi said about the idea of 'rerolling' as he kept calling it. Whether he'd actually go through with such a thing or not... it was unlikely, but not impossible. If it seemed possible to do so with an actual positive outcome, Yugi might give it some honest consideration. Until then, it was but a gamer's way to vent frustrations.

The more casual topic they discussed while arranging their builds happened to be a series on Yugi's favorites list. Miko claimed she normally skipped through the pornographic parts of similar works. He paused, wondering how that was even possible given some of their earlier conversations. "Hm," he mumbled before moving on. "Well... there's no skipping this porn. It's integral. Literally part of the power structure ─ a lot like what we've got going on now." During his brief explanation, Yugi was tossing a few Skill Runes into the crafting interface. Knight's Decree, Iron Will and Phantom Guard were blended into one, producing a new rune he found interestingly useful under a few circumstances. "Knight's Bastion. If I use this, I can tank for a bit. Can't expect you to start carrying the role just because you're thicc as fuck~" he joked lightly. "It's kind of a summoned armor overlay. It comes with damage reduction, a ten-meter taunt, and some space creation when broken. It can also be brought out as a shield instead. Not bad~" he decided, producing the rune with every intention of crushing it. Of course, Yugi took a moment to ensure he didn't want to evolve that one as well. During consideration, they touched the topic of interacting with each other before any... external entanglements. "Definitely gotta do it. Maybe we can eventually upgrade the bell to make it stronger. That part seems like it'll be one of the easy early games, difficult mid-games, and cakewalk endgames..."
