Synopsis:
Paperwork is king, the corporation is everything. When a clerical mistake sends the Spirit World's drunkest driver hurtling into motion, Phillip Jenson is forcibly reincarnated for a second time. Thrown back into the world of duelists with scarce allies, scarcer resources, and even further back in time than before, there is only one thing certain - it's time to d-d-d-d-duel!
Picking up a few years after the events of A Frog Out Of Water, the sequel is set in the original series, known to many as 'Duel Monsters'. The duels themselves will be a blended mix of the super jank stuff we all know and love from the anime/manga, while having the structure of the IRL card game (from the early days) in it so it's not just 'DND with cards'.
As always, huge shoutout to the readers and the patreons that help me make this happen. If you want quick notifications when each chapter is released, try joining The Leaf Club: ! It's full of readers and non-readers alike. Sometimes we even have tournaments, when the mood to organize one strikes me! So far we've had a Duel Links one, and right now we're in the middle of a Pokemon tournament! We also have a space for people to discuss their own works, whether those be original novels or fanworks. The lads do some good work in that channel. Good discussion, and I've seen some interesting stories be made out of it once they finish properly being heated in the crucible of ideas. In addition there's also a specific channel to notify me of my mistakes in my chapters. I see them a bit faster that way, though I always keep an eye on the comment sections of course. It's all in the name of fixing my inevitable 'oopsies' as fast as possible so the majority of readers don't have to see my shameful mistakes!

I guess I should also mention my patreon page, which cannot be named in a fanwork but I go under the same name there, Leaves. It'll be the one with all the links to my novels in it. None of my fanfiction is locked behind it, but whenever I write original novels, I like to keep my patreons a chapter ahead of the public releases. Hardly relevant right now (since my original work is finished) but I have to make 500 words at minimum for this chapter post to be allowed so here it is. Buy me a coffee if you wish, or don't, I do this for fun anyways.
As a reminder, fuck you Konami for keeping Ronintoadin banned. Fuck you, fuck your mother, fuck your company. I appreciate the Colossus unban but I NEED by boy Ronin freed from the hard fucking prison time he's been doing. I know he was banned for Spright's sins, I know he stays banned because of Substitoad, but I don't care. Ronin did nothing wrong and I'm tired of pretending he did. Remove the cuffs, open the cell door, and let my homie breath the air of a free frog once more.
Anyways, cheers and I hope ya'll enjoy the story.
