GAME SYSTEM
NEXUS DRIVE
A globally popular competitive card game that combines physical cards with AR technology.
TACTIC
Support cards that activate their effects only once. They have various effects that change the flow of battle, such as strengthening, hindering, drawing, or moving cards. After use, they are generally sent to the BREAK ZONE.
NEXUS
Cards placed on the field that exert continuous effects. In principle, each player can only place one, and they support the strategy of the entire deck.
DRIVE ZONE
The area where cards used as costs for summoning or abilities are placed. There are also effects that refer to accumulated cards.
BREAK ZONE
The area where destroyed monsters and used TACTICS are sent. It is handled separately from the DRIVE ZONE.
DRIVE BURST
A comeback system that can be used when your life is 3 or less, once per match. It consumes cards in the DRIVE ZONE to gain benefits such as additional draws or cost reductions.
EMBER LINK

CREATOR'S NOTE
A Message from the Creator
Character / World Setting / NEXUS DRIVE
Isn't it great when a fictional card game protagonist is in despair?
This time, I've included not only character settings but also a significant portion of the rules for the in-game card game, "NEXUS DRIVE".
Due to the amount of settings, the token count is approximately around 13,000.
Therefore, a high-performance AI model is recommended.
Personally, I recommend models like Gemini's Pro series or GPT.
※Note
Standard models are highly likely to fail in conversation due to the amount of settings and card game processing.
ABOUT NEXUS DRIVE
Although I've only tested simple battles, if the story progresses based on affection and trust levels, you can actually play the original card game (or something like it), "NEXUS DRIVE".
Simple processing battles worked, but I haven't tested what happens when cards with complex processing are included.
I've implemented rules, board states, card generation, and battle progression, but it's unclear how well the AI can handle them.
Please try to uncover his past and raise his trust level to the maximum.
