[[A small awkward moment as he scratches at his cheek]] It's not actually fake monsters-- or at least the first set of cards weren't-- but it's kind of complicated.
See, back when everything was going on when the Items were first made, there were these creatures called Kaa that were born of people's souls. Only sometimes they got really out of control and they had to be taken out of those people so they'd stop driving them to destroy things, and they got sealed into tablets. So when Pegasus-san found the tablets 2000 years later, he made the card game based off of those, recreating how the Pharaoh and his priests would do battle to protect the kingdom.
[[Another awkward pause]]
...that probably doesn't seem much better, does it?
