The World of Grace stretched out as far as the eye could see, the first challenge for this newly made party of duelists. The portal behind them closed, leaving behind a stone platform with inscriptions on it. Upon closer inspection, glowing words floated up from the inscriptions.

Seek out and solve the problems plaguing this peaceful meadow. Once done, the path to the gateway shall be known.

”Problems? Figures something like this would only be peaceful on the surface…” Jet said as he sent Simorgh up into the air to get a birds eye view of the area. ”So. What are all of your strategies going into this? Honestly, I just chose Simorgh for personal reasons.” He asked everyone. After everyone had given their answers, Simorgh flew back down and circled above them before landing back on Jet’s arm. It let out a cry before pointing off in the direction of the forest. Several pillars of smoke could be seen coming up from the trees. An encampment of sorts? Or maybe a forest fire? Could be either or as both birds and animals could be seen fleeing from the safety of the trees.

”Looks like something’s going on over there.” Jet said as he started walking towards the forest. ”Well? No time like the present.” He said with a casual smile.

The guide, who looked like Backup Secretary, smiled warmly at McCoy. ”New to the Terminus? If so, the World of Grace is recommended. The monsters and quests there should be easy enough for you to get your bearings on the game mechanics. If you’re not too sure, I also recommend joining a party of other duelists. Not only does it increase your odds of success, but it’s always better to play with others. Anything else?” She awaited for any other questions McCoy would have for her.

Parties of duelists started to leave through the portals, a majority of which were leaving the portal to the World of Grace alone. A young man with a large green bird on his arm ran out of the guide building. “Seriously?! Ah man, I didn’t even get to join a group…” he had a bummed out expression on his face before noticing Mina’s message by the portals. He sighed with relief before walking over. ”Hey, can I join your group? Name’s Jet… This is Simorgh.” The large avian, which in reality was a baby, gave an adorable chirp and raised its wings before settling back down on Jet’s arm. ”I’m glad I caught you before you left… I was stuck in the guide center trying to figure out everything.” He explained with an embarrassed smile.

Server 573

One of hundreds of servers connected to the main computer system at Cairos Tech. Here resides The Terminus, a vast virtual world created by the head of the multi-billion dollar company, Lucerne Cairos. It is here where duelists from around the world take part in Advanced Duels, a round based system created specifically for the virtual world. Players first logging are given a select amount of starting cards to choose from, the creation of an optional virtual avatar is given, and finally, with a username entered, players are transported to the hub world. A large platform atop a tower, with many similar towers dotting the virtual landscape, each one representing a different server. The pristine white platform, with blue glowing lines of energy running across it, held at its center a guide building of sorts. Where anyone could come and ask for directions to specific zones, or help for particularly tough fights. Holograms of the iconic Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician stood above in combative poses.

Behind the guide building were a lineup of portals, each one leading to a completely different environment. Upon entering the hub, all newcomers received a message. Once opened, they are greeted by the friendly and adorable face of Tour Guide From the Underworld.

“Welcome! Hello! This is your favorite underworld tour guide, here to welcome you brave new duelists to The Terminus. Here, Advanced Duels are the name of the game, and I’m here to show you ropes. In The Terminus, duelists are given up to two partner monsters and a few spells and traps. These monsters may seem weak at first, but with through hard-work and training, they can become much stronger. Advanced Duels do away with the typical turn based, phase changing you’re all used to. Instead, duels here are played out in more open ended battles, with you commanding your monsters to attack, defend, or even dodge oncoming attacks. Be warned that taking too many hits will result in your monsters returning to their card forms for a good rest, so be mindful of what your monsters can and can’t handle. Use spells and traps to give your monsters an extra edge in a fight, but use them sparingly, as they will go into a cooldown after being used. The goal of The Terminus is to reach the end of all the worlds that lie before you, defeat the bosses within, and claim fantastic rewards for yourself or for your friends if you have partied up. Many worlds await you, so I hope you all have fun dueling here in The Terminus. If you have any specific questions, please refer to the staff at the Guide Center. Thank you, and good luck!”

The message ended with the devilish tour guide waving with a fanged smile. At the portal section, one portal was open to all newcomers. Leading to the World of Grace. Duelists, new and veteran alike, chattered amongst themselves. Discussing strategies and forming parties to take on the worlds ahead of them.

OOC is up folks.@Olive Fontaine@Ryik@Azure Bubbles@The Irish Tree

Yugioh - Digital Advance

In the far future of dueling, many styles of dueling have developed, been mastered, come and gone, etc. But today, we here at Cairos Tech Industries are proud to present you with a next generation style of dueling with the virtual landscape. Advanced Duels. Thanks to our cutting edge A.I. technology, we have created an expansive virtual world we refer to as The Terminus. Here we host Advanced Duels within several environments, either based on the many stories of duel monsters or the attributes they represent. Upon first login, you will be given 1 or 2 Duel Partners, duel monsters who will serve as your travel companions. Journey through the virtual world, train your Duel Partners, conquer many dungeons and Duel Bosses, and raise your Duelist Rank to the very top.

We invite you to join us at The Terminus, and hope to see you all here. Get ready to hop on in and Advance Summon!

Awesome, I’ll have an ooc up sometime later. If y’all have any other questions just let me know.

@Ryik Yeah, the higher end monsters would essentially be the megas/ultras. Honestly, I wasn’t planning on Xyz, Links, or Pendulums being a thing here. Anything before like Fusions, Synchros, and Rituals are the main focus. If you did want to use any monsters from the modern summoning mechanics, we could work something out, as a lot of monsters from those mechanics do have what could be considered evolution lines. Like Link Decoder into Decode Talker, or Utopic Onomatopoeia into Utopia.

(Retry) Yugioh/Digimon Style Virtual Adventure

@Ryik
1. Evolution lines would be linear with clear lines, like Gigobyte to Gagagigo. But for some monsters you can get creative, like Cloudian Smokeball could change into any of the other Cloudians before ending on Eye of the Typhoon.

2. You are allowed two.

3. Fusions will work as normal when having the necessary materials. But if the materials aren’t there, items can be found that correspond to the material you are missing. Like if you have Red-Eyes Black Dragon but want one of its fusions, you could have an item like a Meteor Fragment or a Daemon’s Skull.

4. Levels in general will be an indicator of the monster’s evolution level. And for the high attack Level 4 monsters, they’ll be sorta limited. Like if you wanted one, it’s power would have to be limited in some way before a certain point. Like the first dungeon clear.

5. As long as the ability would make sense for the monster and isn’t “random bullshit go! I win!” then that’ll work.

Sounds neat!

So, would it be strictly limited to cards from Yugioh, or is it just the genral aesthetic of what we can choose?

@The Irish Tree

Sticking to Yugioh.

Hey, I'm interested. My question is whether we are meant to use existing monster effects, or just names/aesthetics. I think a lot of the best designs are normal monsters, but why pick them if you can have a modern card with 3 or 4 different effects on it?

If you want my opinion, we should leave aside the effects from the card game except for very basic ones - even then they should have some tradeoff, maybe. The monsters should be moreso differentiated by their type, attribute, level, and stats. I'm interested either way, though. I'll think about what monster would make a good partner.

@Olive Fontaine

And yes, we’ll be sticking to simpler effects here. Everyone will start off with at most a Level 4 monster. Effects can vary depending on the monster of course. Let’s use Skilled Dark Magician as an example. It would serve as a gateway to other magician monsters. And we can translate its usage of spell counters as less of going into Dark Magician, and instead use spell counters it generates as boosts to its spell power. Or even use the spell counters for something else.

This will also have some anime-isms from Duelist Kingdom. Like “your monster is soaked, therefore my monster’s electrical attack will deal greater damage.” or “This monster has multiple heads, each one must be cut in order for it to be destroyed.”
