Rule

**Rule** (Kanji, *Rōmaji*), is a competition between two Kings with their household.

## Summary

Rule was created after the Dice Pieces by Ajuka Beelzebub. Rule is used to measure as rating a Devil's strength which will reflect their social standing in the Underworld. In fact, The Top 10 ranked are considered as heroes to the Devils.

## Game Field

The Game Field is where all Rating Game matches take place and is located inside a section of the Dimensional Void, protected by a barrier. This field was created by Ajuka and the technicians who work under him. The field itself provides a simulation of any environment or scenery for a game to take place in.

## Rules

The game takes the form of a strategic battle between the King and his/her pieces. It is fought on a map of their choosing, and can be created to be a perfect replica of any location they desire. Only matured Devils are allowed to participate in official Rating Games. The servants of their Kings are named: Berserker, Knight, Queen, Healer, and Pawn. The maximum number of players in a Rating Game is 24 and like the game of chess, the players lose when their King loses.

All participants are placed into four categories: Power, Technique, Wizard, and Support.

### Special Rules

(Aside from the normal rules, there are many more special rules for the Rating Games; as aside from the standard rules, the games can also feature unique variations and even objective-based matches).

#### The Ruler

The Ruler is the first and only tournament created. Instead of long, full-team battle, it will be a short battle with limited members. Both Kings will roll a 12-sided dice (one each) and the number added up from both Kings will determine the value of Pieces (servants) to be sent. However Kings are not forced to completely use all the points (with the total value of eight, Kings can send two Knights and have two left over), which will be wasted and not added to next roll. Servants that consumed two or more Pieces of its kind will have the added-up value of the Piece (a servant that has consumed two Pawn Pieces will have the value of two, or a servant that have consumed two Knight Pieces will have the value of six). The value of each pieces are as follows:

* King = ranges from 2 to 24 depending on the estimated value given by the judging committee (based on the strength of the King themselves, value of their servants and comparison with the opponents).
* Queen = 12
* Berserker = 8
* Knight = 4
* Healer = 4
* Pawn = 2 (Base value)

#### Object Break Game

Another variant of the normal Rating Game where the goal is to break the 'objects' (Shape of a woman with Fallen Angel & Devil wings) scattered around the battlefield. There are a total of thirteen 'objects' and the first team to break seven of these 'objects' within the twelve hour time limit wins the match and just like in the normal Rating Game, victory can also be achieved by defeating the opposing team's "King". The field the players are transported to has the layout of a chess board and the areas are designated A1, C2, B4 etc. The 'Objects' scattered around can either be stationary or can be moved around by the players. They are either left in their original state, are placed in less noticeable places or are hidden in obscure places. When an 'object' is destroyed, the area it was located in is no longer allowed to be entered by the teams "Kings", narrowing down the areas the teams can move in. If both teams have destroyed equally the number of 'objects' when the time limit exceeds, then the match is a draw.

#### Imprisonment

* Tactics that can only be used if the object is movable. A team directs the enemy's "King" to the corner of the field, and contains objects transported by destroying them in the three surrounding areas. In order for the King to escape, special movement means such as casting with a "Rook" etc. must be used.

#### Rampage Ball Game

A variant of the normal Rating Game where the objective of the game is to score points by shooting a golden ball the size of a basketball, through a glittering gold hoop that serves as the goal, with a time limit of two hours. The game field is completely empty and vast, with no obstacles to obstruct the view of the players; scattered around are water replenishment stations for hydration, as the game is determined by the players' stamina management. The number of points for each score a team gets depends on the Evil Piece of the person or if the King scores. Number of points the King or each piece scores is as follows:

* King = 6 points
* Queen = 1 points
* Berserker = 6 points
* Knight = 4 points
* Healer = 8 points
* Pawn = 10 point

After a team scores, the goal will disappear and reappear in a random location within the field. The goal may appear somewhere far away from the goal's previous location, so the teams have to rush to score first. Retirement is ineffective for this game type as players will be reinstated into the field after a certain amount of time without being healed, meaning when a player is injured, they remain injured. The team which wins is the one that has the most points at then end when the timer runs out.

#### Yggdrasil Climb

Both teams will need to run up the artificial Yggdrasil, and the one who reaches the goal on top of the Yggdrasil is the winner. Like the other rules so far, you can also win if you defeat the opposing team’s King. Pawn Promotion is possible after reaching the halfway point, as Pawns can promote into any piece they choose after reaching the halfway-point.
