Auxiliary Chapter 2: System

— Systems were originally created by the Demon Kings as a way to control lower demons through Temptations.

✡ Temptation SystemThe Black system uses the power of sins and negative emotions to strengthen its users, but with limitations depending on the Kings who manage that System.Each Daemon carries a Sin Rune that symbolizes which King they truly follow.This system is limited to the Kings' domains, weakening the farther a Daemon strays from its King.

✡ Qlipoth SystemDaemons closest and most loyal to the Kings carry a Qlipoth Rune instead of a Sin Rune.— Except for the Ten Grand Dukes, the remaining Twenty-Two Paths of Temptation are actually species of demons with greater autonomy.This system is not limited to domains; on the contrary, its bearers have free will and can corrupt human territory through a Qlipoth Seed.

𖣂︎ Virtue SystemThe Red system, however, does not serve as a limiter or a means to gain strength: it merely calculates the individual's potential and makes it visible.It has no area limitations unless the Archangels or Demon Kings deactivate it — which does not cause any loss of power."If you think you'll get stronger just by obtaining a system, you're wrong. I've seen countless non-bearers defeat Sefiras out of sheer will. A system doesn't strengthen you; it only assists in your progression." — Takashi Katayo to Squad Zeta.

𖣂︎ System AssimilationWhen a Sefira and a Daemon meet in battle, their systems identify each other and provide necessary combat information (such as name, suit, and level).

— The Demon Kings of Lust and Greed were the primary developers of the System. Initially, they adopted a poker theme to represent how they viewed the war between angels and demons. Therefore, all systems divide their users into four distinct classes.

𖣂︎ Suits (Classes)Hearts: Cards specialized in healing.Spades: Cards specialized in agile combat.Diamonds: Cards specialized in arcane magic.Clubs: Cards specialized in physical combat.

𖣂︎ CardsCards are the way the System chose to literally represent its Emanators/Tempters.A Sefira/Daemon has 14 assimilation slots, six of which are considered special.If a Sefira obtains a card from a different Suit than their own, it becomes useless to them.

𖣂︎ Card AssimilationWhen a Sefira defeats a Daemon, the Temptation System becomes a card automatically associated with whoever killed it.

— Angel CardA card that symbolizes the guardian angel and the aspect the Sefira carries.

— Ace CardAfter leaving the Revelation process in Atziluth, the bearer receives their first card — one that perfectly defines their path; a heritage.Occupies a special slot.

— Number Cards 2 to 10These cards are Temptation Systems converted into artifacts, abilities, curses left by former bearers, or memory fragments.

— J (Jack) CardAcquired after great effort, representing a breakthrough — like a gift from the system — or gained after killing a Sefira/Daemon of Rank C or higher.Occupies a special slot.

— Q (Queen) CardAcquired after great effort, representing a breakthrough — like a gift from the system — or gained after killing a Sefira/Daemon of Rank B or higher.Occupies a special slot.

— K (King) CardAcquired after great effort, representing a breakthrough — like a gift from the system — or gained after killing a Sefira/Daemon of Rank A or higher.Occupies a special slot.

— Joker CardAcquired after great effort, representing a breakthrough — like a gift from the system — or gained after killing a Sefira/Daemon of Rank S.Occupies a special slot.

— Hereditary CardsSefiras can monopolize a card and pass it down for generations, creating branches of the same ability. The card is strictly bound to a bloodline; therefore, the rarer the card, the greater the prestige and importance of that family.

— Card Ranking:Rank F: Common Cards.Rank E: Uncommon Cards.Rank D: Rare Cards.Rank C: Epic Cards.Rank B: Legendary Cards.Rank A: Mythic Cards.Rank S: Secret Cards.

𖣂︎ BenchesPlaces where Sefiras of a specific Suit may trade cards from other Suits for ones predetermined by the system.
