Dragged Into Another World Because of My Otaku Friend-Chapter 113: Challenge Deck
"Well, you’re not wrong, but there’s something interesting about this card that will help us moving forward," I said while chuckling, trying to hold my laugh.
"What’s so funny?"
"I can’t imagine you flying with that body. Hahaha!"
I burst into laughter, picturing Bob soaring gracefully through the sky with wings, even making bird sounds.
People nearby gave me weird looks.
Bob narrowed his eyes at me, clearly irritated. Mina, meanwhile, tilted her little cute head, clueless.
"But... haha... really, this is actually great, Bob."
I wiped the tears of joy from my eyes with my fingers.
"What’s so great about becoming a bird?" Bob snapped.
I took a deep breath, inhaling and exhaling.
"Listen here. Right now, we already have Plump. He’s very fast and super reliable. But the problem is, he can only carry one person. And with our range limitation of just 100 meters, one dash from Plump and we’re already beyond the range. So it’s inconvenient."
Bob folded his arms, thinking.
"Ermm... you’re right. So we can’t even use that dumb chicken properly," he said.
"Exactly. But this class, it’s the solution to that."
I pointed at the card and scrolled to the skills section.
"See this Glide skill? This skill basically lets you fly, man. You can fly. Don’t you think that’s amazing? With this, whenever I ride Plump, you can glide alongside me and cause chaos on the battlefield, no more worrying about our distance. Plus, this class really syncs with the [Windpiercer Routine] skill set. This is a new evolution for our Gun and Slash tactic, Bob," I said excitedly, and I truly meant it.
Bob’s eyes widened, his mouth forming a huge grin.
"Yeah, bro... this, this is actually crazy. I can fly in the sky. You’re really a genius, dude."
He stood up and stretched his arms like wings, running in circles like a bird. Mina joined him, laughing.
I smiled, watching Bob’s antics. He’s actually pretty easy to sway.
But honestly, with this combo of new skills, classes, and Plump... we’re really on the path to being overpowered.
A few minutes later...
"Huff... that’s tiring," Bob said, sitting back down beside me.
"Ohhh, I forgot. There’s another card I looted."
Bob scrolled through his screen and showed me a new card. It looked quite different, it wasn’t a single card, but more like a stack of cards.
"What is this card?" I asked.
"I have no frickin’ idea," Bob said, then pressed it.

Obtained [The Colosseum of Might] deck
---
Both of us looked at each other.
"Deck?"
We had no idea what it meant, but before we could search for answers...
...a notification appeared.
---
[You have unlocked a new section!]
[Deck]
Contains a collection of cards. It may share the same types or themes.
You can now purchase decks in the Shop section!
---
Our jaws dropped.
I immediately looked at the [Shop] section and saw a new category had been added—[Deck], with a little "new" pop-out glowing beside it.
We went to that page, and a dozen decks appeared, similar to card packs. Each had its own name and unique design.
Every deck contained a minimum of 40 cards. Just like the pack category, the deck page was infinite, meaning there was essentially an endless number of decks waiting to be unlocked in the future.
Each deck had its own type. Some contained cards of a similar category, focusing purely on classes, weapons, or skills, while others were themed around specific elements like fire, water, thunder, and more.
It was a fantastic feature. With this, we could obtain a lot of cards in a single purchase.
But there was a downside.
The price.
It was ridiculously expensive.
The cheapest deck cost 100,000 BP. And right now, we had only accumulated 20,000.
Still, considering we’d get 40 cards, the price was actually fair.
We then checked the deck we had just obtained.

A deck appeared in Bob’s hands. Its design featured a beast clad in heavy armor on the front, with a bold mix of green and red colors. It looked strikingly similar to the kind of card decks Bob used to collect back in our world.
Bob opened it.
Inside were 40 cards. Each one displayed a ferocious-looking beast, menacing, tough, and ready for battle. On the top right corner of each card, a rarity label was marked. Most were Common, Uncommon, a few Rare, and even a couple of Super Rare.
But one card stood out.
Ultra Rare.
Its edges shimmered with a rainbow design, glinting beautifully as sunlight bounced off it.
"Ultra Rare!"
Bob and I shouted in unison, jumping in excitement. It was the first time we had ever pulled a card of this rarity. We were ecstatic.
But our joy was short-lived.
As the realization sank in, we both sat down, silent. We reread the deck’s description carefully.
"Alan..." Bob spoke quietly, looking at me. "If this thing is Ultra Rare... does that mean it’s freaking damn strong? And we’re supposed to fight it?"
"Hmmm... I think so. It might be the boss for this deck." I nodded and replied solemnly.
This challenge deck was designed for us to fight every monster inside it.
I looked back at all the cards... Each one was terrifying. Some looked like the kind of nightmare fuel that would keep me awake at night.
"Do we really have to fight all these monsters?" I asked, a chill running down my spine. I couldn’t help shivering every time I saw those ferocious creatures. How did veteran adventurers stay so calm in front of things like these?
"Of course! I’m sure these monsters will drop powerful loot once we beat them!" Bob said, eyes shining with excitement. He then picked out one of the cards. "Let’s try this one."
He showed me a Super Rare card.
