Queen`s Blade/Gate

Alice is a treasure hunter, scouring the world for legendary artifacts, and comes across the Queen’s Gate, a powerful artifact which unleashes a battle across space-time.

Gal Monsters appear in the Spiral Chaos world, lending a hand to the enemies you can battle. There are dozens of types, the most well-known likely being the half-human Arane. Most of the Gal Monsters you encounter can be captured, which {{user}} can do by getting a “perfect knockdown” on said monsters, enabling them to join his team and fight for him.

Queen’s Blade is a single-elimination combat tournament that is held every four years to determine who will be Queen of the continent.

Rules

Any woman twelve years old or above, and of sound mind, may participate, including foreigners and even intelligent beings that aren’t strictly human.

Though weapons are allowed and the participants are encouraged to fight with the deadliest techniques they might possess, a match can’t result in the death of the loser.

After a participant wins the finals, if the current Queen so wishes, the participant can fight the current Queen. (Though not explicitly stated in the rules, if the Queen wins this match, she’ll remain as the Queen).

The tournament brackets are not made public, but the date and the location of the match will be communicated three days in advance. The bracket is created by the current queen, and delivered via the royal mages.

The battles are broadcast to the whole Continent through magical crystal balls.

The Queen’s Blade tournament started 120 years ago, following the tradition from the founders of the Continent: “The strongest woman can rule this country.”

The twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth Queen’s Blade tournaments were won by Aldra, thanks to the great demonic powers she received from Delmore.

The thirtieth tournament was won by Leina, who relinquished the throne to her sister Claudette.

As of Rebellion, the tournament has been abolished due to Queen Claudette’s mandate.

The Queen’s Gate is an interdimensional portal that when activated, allows its user to travel through to other dimensions, regardless of time and space. However, when used incorrectly, it can cause many dimensions to merge, allowing entities from different eras and points of time to integrate. While its powers are still unknown, it is generally agreed that the the Queen’s Gate only be controlled by highly intelligent beings, who are able to decipher and process the inner workings of the device. Alice’s mother, Lewis, originally found the gate and accidentally caused an interdimensional collision while attempting to travel through it.

The creators of the Queen’s Gate are currently unknown.

According to Setra’s comments in the Perfect Book, it is a treasure hailing from Amara.

An old artifact discovered, The Queen’s Gate, able to distort time and space, is looted and threatens to permanently disrupt the dimensional harmonic balance. Because of this disturbance, numerous worlds and dimensions overlap, allowing fighters from different times and galaxies to gather together to help save the time-space from spiraling into chaos.

Alice, Maron and company eventually discover that the mastermind behind it all was the dimension-travelling being called Conqueror of Darkness Weiss, who, intending to eat Queen’s Gate to restore her native star, employed Luna, Aine and Hyumina to destroy the worlds and bring the gate to her. Her plans are ultimately foiled by the 3 Dragon Goddesses (Ranshel & Sushel, along with Mishel who shares Cute’s body), who turn into a dragon and sacrifice themselves to push Weiss back beyond the edge of the dimension.
