Blinking, I suddenly found myself in a white room and waited for something to happen, which it did. A new screen appeared before me.
[Welcome summoner of Valkyries. Do you want to start the tutorial?]
[Yes/No]
Nodding, I pressed yes. I'm not dumb enough to skip something so important. I need to know what will change and what will stay the same.
"So how does this work?" I asked curiously. What would happen if I do summon an Archwitch? Will she betray me? Will the world be conquered or destroyed? Will my hips survive?
[The Summoner, that is you, can summon Valkyries into the real world. Due to the world, you'll be entering, some aspects will be altered or changed to fit that world.]
[You will be given a system that is similar to the one from the Valkyrie Crusade game. There will be some features added and / or removed.]
(Let's begin... by reading the rules!! Read it! Live it! Love it!)
----------------------------
Rules:
1. You will start off with 500 health and 500 mana. When your health reaches 0, you die. You can only increase your health and mana by raising your level. You gain 500 HP and 100 MP per level.
2. Each summoning will cost only 100 mana, and it's randomly selects a Valkyrie regardless of typing or Rarity. There's a chance of summoning items or resources instead of Valkyries.
3. All Valkyries summoned will like you and be loyal to you unless you give them a reason to hate you. The only way you can improve your likeability rating is by interacting with them, and ultimately, they will fall in love with you.
4. There are five elements in Valkyrie Crusade, which are Passion, Cool, Light, Dark, and Special. Elements characterize a card and offer a damage bonus against their opposite type. Ex. (Passion↔Cool, Light↔Dark). All LR cards and some UR cards are characterized by one of these three symbols. [Sun] (Resist Earth), [Sea] (Resist Sun), and [Earth] Symbol (Resist Sea).
5. Every Valkyrie is characterized by a rarity that determines how powerful a card is. Normal, Rare, Super Rare, Ultimate Rare, Legendary Rare, and Valkyrie Rare. Higher rarity cards generally have higher stats, higher solider count, and better skills.
6. All Valkyries start at Lv 1 and they all have a level limit. The higher the rarity the higher the level limit. With each sucessful level up, their ATK, DEF, and Soldiers will increase by a small amount.
7. You and your Valkyries will earn a certain amount of experience points from the enemies by killing or defeating them. The rate earned will depend on how dangerous they are and will be equally divided by all. You can also upgrade your Valkyries by using fusion with other Valkyries. This is essential to maximizing the potential of your unit. (Ex. Absorbing other Valkyrie or slimes)
8. Each Valkyrie has a level limit that can be surpassed by something called Evolution. Evolution works by using two of the same cards and certain Arcana's increasing the level, the stats, the soldier count, and the rarity of a card. Some Normal and Rare Valkyries have 2 or 4 evolutions. Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Legendary Rare, and higher have 4 or 5 evolutions.
Ex:
Normal (N) --> High Normal --> (HN)
Rare (R) --> High Rare --> (HR)
Super Rare (SR) --> High Super Rare --> (HSR) --> Godlike Super Rare (GSR) --> Reborn Super Rare (XSR)
Ultimate Rare (UR) --> High Ultimate Rare --> (HUR) --> Godlike Ultimate Rare (GUR) --> Reborn Ultimate Rare (XUR)
Legendary Rare (LR) --> High Legendary Rare --> (HLR) --> Godlike Legendary Rare (GLR) --> Reborn Legendary Rare (XLR)
Valkyrie Rare (VR) --> High Valkyrie Rare --> (HVR) --> Godlike Valkyrie Rare (GVR) --> Reborn Valkyrie Rare (XVR)
There are six types of evolution:
• Regular Evolution - Combine two of the same cards to raise its level, soldiers, and rarity.
• Evolution Accident - A rare phenomenon where the character is reborn with their characteristics completely changed.
• Amalgamation - Combines two cards to make a completely new card.
• Awakening - is a form of upgrading a card, which will increase their stats and improve their skill. Only some cards are available for awakening at small percentages and will require certain items to increase the percentage rate.
• Rebirth is a secret alchemy process only a few chosen maidens can perform. It can awaken a maiden's true hidden power.
• Special cards- They are a unique type that help raise or increase the power of other certain cards.
9. Each time you defeat a power enemy, there's a chance for you to earn a summon ticket. They are Premium Summon Ticket, Ultimate Summon Ticket, Guaranteed SR Ticket, Guaranteed UR Ticket, and Legendary Summon Ticket. These tickets will have a higher chance of summoning a stronger and rarer Valkyrie compared to a normal summon. (1 Premium Summon Ticket has a 15% chance of summoning SR or higher rarity. 1 Ultimate Summon Ticket has a 30% chance of summoning SR or higher rarity. Guaranteed Tickets on the other hand has a 100% chance of summoning said rarity. LR tickets have a 10% chance and it'll add up until you summon an LR Valkyrie before resetting back to 0.)
10. Soldiers are the Life points (LP) of Valkyries. If it goes to 0, then they will be forced in their card form. You can bring them back by using mana. If their card is destroyed, then they are destroyed. [1 mana = 1 soldier]
11. Rare metals are only used to buy any Arcana from the store and raise the skill level. Max Metal limit is 9,999,999. The rest will be destroyed.
12. All Attack and Defense of Valkyries can be raised by using certain Arcana. All Arcana are one-time useable items and will be destroyed after use. Max limit per card is 100 each. Example: (+50 ATK/DEF, +500 ATK/DEF, +3,000 ATK/DEF)
13. All Valkyries skills can be upgraded to be more power and increase the number of activations of said skills. It takes one day for all skills to be usable again.
14. Each and every Valkyrie are what the cards represent.
Ex. Afflige
Little Shield- Deal 500% (550%) Cool DMG to all enemies / Sleep for 3 days
Activation 3/3 -> (5/5)

I blinked, taking in my new surroundings, watching as it slowly transformed. For some reason, I was in the middle of a grassy plain, completely alone.
"Hmm? What's this?" I muttered curiously, looking down at the back of my hand, feeling it itch and watched as it slowly began taking shape. It's a light blue colored tattoo that looked like a summoning circle with unknown runic scripture inside with a pair of wings on the side spreading out.
[That is your summoning crest. It will allow you to summon your Valkyries into the world.]
"Huh, so I'm not summoning the cards, but the actual Valkyries then. I can work with that," I said, before closing my eyes and started searching for my mana. It took me some time to find it, having never done it before. It's a warm sensation emanating from my chest, and it took me a couple of tries to make it move down to my hand. Once the crest was full of mana, I watched as the same summoning circle fron my hand appeared on the ground and with a flash, someone appeared before me.

Her information appeared in my mind as I stared at the young woman. She's wearing a witch's robe being held by two bells, leaving her shoulders bare, with purple tights kneeling before me while staring up at me in happiness. She has pinkish hair that stops in the middle of her back with a witch's hat on top.
"Hehehe, I'm an Archwitch. What do you want from me, my summoner?" She purred up at me, slowly standing up with a hand on her hip. Which lifted a part of her robe showing me that it barely covered her breasts and stomach, leaving the rest bare.
... ... ...
I couldn't say anything and simply stared at her, spellbound by her beauty. She was one of the first few Valkyries I summoned when I played the game, and it brought a tear to my eye seeing her here.
"Ah? Did I go too far, master? I'm sorry, I just wanted to tease you a little." She walked up to me and cupped my cheek, wiping away the tear.
That brought me back to my senses, "Uh, sorry about that. It's just, you're, you're real. I mean, you're actually here."
"Of course, I'm real, silly," She grabbed my right hand with her left, bringing it up to cup her own cheek, "You summoned me after all."
"Y-yeah, you're right. Um, what's your name? It's not like I can call you Witch all the time."
"Aww, how sweet, but that's my name, master. If you want, you can give me a nickname after this. Now let me deal with this little miscreant, so we can spend some quality time together." She said, giving me wink as a green goblin started forming on the other side of the field.
[Beginning battle tutorial!]
[Now look at the goblin and Witch. Do you see anything different?]
I stared at them both and noticed something above their head that wasn't there before.
Goblin (ATK 1700 /DEF 1400)
Witch (ATK 1,800/ DEF 1,800) {Soldiers: 1350}
"Yeah, I can see their attack and defense now. Witch has 100 more attack than the goblin," I said. "But how? I can understand Witch's attack being that high, but not the goblins. Why can't I see his health, for that matter too."
[Normally you wouldn't be able to see the goblins attack and defense, but this is a practice battle. Now watch how they battle.]
The goblin let out a squeaky screech of anger, smacking his chest trying to appear more threatening. Drool started escaping his lips as he stared lustfully at Witch's body, and she glared at him in response.
"You want to play with me that bad, huh? Heh, ok, I'll play with you." Witch said playfully, even though her actions said differently. A huge fireball was silently formed next to her before it flew towards the goblin.
The goblin let out a small war cry as he ran towards her, dodging the fireball while raising his stick high in the air and jumped. Witch simply smirked, two wind bullets appeared next to her before they were released, one to stop the attack, breaking his arm in the process, and the other flew into the goblin's stomach, pushing him farther back. As he flew in the air choking, the same fireball still flying, turned back around and hit him from behind. The goblin fell on his stomach, rolling around and screaming in pain as he burned, trying to put it out.
"Oh ho ho, such a pathetic creature. Did you think you could win against an Archwitch like me?" Witch asked condescendingly, watching as its body stopped moving, and after a few seconds, it turned to ash. With a light gesture, she directed a gust of wind to clear away all the ashes on the floor.
"Damn, that's hot." I unconsciously said, finding Witch really attractive right now. I didn't know I had a power fetish, but I'm ok with that.
"Oh poo~, I wanted to spend some more time with you." Witch said a little glum, watching her own body breaking apart into gold dust before brightening up, "If you get a chance, summon me again, and we can go on a picnic together. I'll see you later, master. Chu~ ❤" She blew me a kiss before she completely disappeared.
I blinked and was soon back in the white room. I waited for the screen to appear, and it did.
[As you saw, the battle was different from the game. If he had attacked her with a more powerful weapon while she was distracted, then she would have taken damage. You acquired 100 exp for defeating the goblin.]
[Leveled up x1]
"What would have happened if the goblin had 200 more attack than Witch and hits her?"
[If her defense is less than the monsters attack, then she'll take damage from the difference and lose her health (soldiers). You will only lose your health if you take any damage or are attacked by monsters.
Ex. Orc ATK 2400 – Witch 1800 DEF = 600 Damage. 1350 Soldiers (LP) – 600 DMG = 750 HP (Soldiers) remaining.]
