Rips in the fabric of time (called black points) are appearing all over Earth and Z/X from 5 alternate futures are pouring out of them wreaking havoc and destruction! Now, 5 black points have finally appeared in Singapore and it is up to you to pick a side in order to survive or even conquer the world!

Z/X (pronounced as Zet X or Zex), Zillions of Enemies X, is a Japanese trading card game created by the Japanese company, Broccoli in collaboration with Nipon Ichi Software (of Disgaea fame). It's fast paced, tensed and exciting gameplay ensures that both players are kept on their toes as the winner is not determined until the game is over. It is played on a shared field of 3x3 grids where the player displaying superior tactical decision would proof to be the victor! It has an anime series currently in the works soon to be released.

We started this blog into order to allow Z/X tcg (Zillions of enemy X trading card game) enthusiasts in a convenient way to look for and buy cards. We are also trying to promote Z/X tcg to a wider audience by organising tournaments and special events.

The Red World

The Red World
A future where humanity's bodies physically degenerated, causing them to seek new vessels to dwell in. Under the pretense of experimentation, the vessels they created were forced to fight one another.

The Inhabitants

Gigantic
Common Noun / Race / Red World
The name for huge beasts created for the sole purpose of being imaginary enemies to push the Bravers to even greater heights. When they detect signs of Bravers, they move in to slaughter them, but this is a command implanted as a form of instinct, not something they intend to do. Because they are lifeforms created from silicon, they are beast-shaped entities with a rock-y/ore-y quality to them. Because a different institute, separate from the one that made the Bravers, made these creatures, in recent years, the institute has forgotten their original purpose of doing it in the spirit of rivalry, and now are bent on only creating a stronger Gigantic. As a result of repeatedly evolving and improving, Gigantics have finally begun to appear that transcend even the Bravers.

Braver
Common Noun / Race / Red World
In place of the human race that degenerated physically, these artificial humans became the new normal of the Red World. Their real nature are clones created from the genes of various superior humans (well known geniuses and heroes) who existed in the past. While they are artificial humans who resemble those people, they also have their memories, so they are practically the same person as the original. In addition, their already excellent genes have been further improved, allowing them to break through the limits of humanity. Although their clothes and weapons conform to the depictions in myth and legend, these reproductions are powerful weapons jam packed with every technology possible, to reproduce and exaggerate their roles as heroes.

Meister
Common Noun / Race / Red World
This group of various engineers and craftsman, who deal in a variety of industrial products and manufactured goods, are the ones who make sure the Red World remains an eternal battlefield. The Human Race that exists in the Red World has degenerated physically, and among the Z/X, they are quite fragile. But they survive this harsh world by driving vehicles such as tanks and heavy machinery. But they are by no means on friendly terms with rulers of the Red World, the Bravers. And ever since the Black Points opened, they have often been the target of the other Worlds due to their technology. Because they carry powerful and highly efficient weapons to protect themselves from foreign foes, one shouldn't be too careless around them.

Mythos

Artificial chimera beasts that aid the Bravers. Based on the motifs of legendary creatures, they possess unique bodies that simply don't exist in nature. While recently, they have become much more stable and are automatically mass produced in a cloning facility, one can see the evils of over production here and there. Unmanageable Mythos are released into the wild, where their feral instincts awaken. The sight of these beasts attacking Gigantics and Bravers in droves is unique to the Red World.


Background

The NOAH Project
Proper Noun / Future Project / Red World
It's official name is the "Next Overspec Artificial Humanbody Project"

In the second half of the 21st century, defense contractors began to sponsor the project, on the premise they could develop artificial humans that

would become the next generation in fights. The Research and Development divisions of three places (including companies and universities) were chosen by the defense industry, and adopted a methodology of bouncing ideas and results of their research off of one another regularly. As a result, the early stages of the project due to this plan were able to achieve remarkable results, causing the defense industry that was sponsoring the affair to push through extra funding.

The locations of the research facilities are Top Secret:
• One in Tanzania, South Africa
• One in Kitakyushu, Japan
• One unknown, but roughly somewhere inland in China.

It is also known, without much in the way of details, that each research facility has its own genius aboard, who collectively are known as the "Three Wise Men". Eventually, the three institutions began to build upon their works independently and privately, only interacting with one another at a deserted island during a regular trial run called the "Research Results Debriefing Session", ultimately becoming the only means by with they communicated.

At one point, the Kitakyushu facility invented a technology to produce clones from damaged DNA of heroes from the past found on excavated relics and remains. Thus they created beings with strong powers by further strengthening their already superior genetics, far beyond the products of NOAH via normal humans (These were the prototypes of the Bravers).

The other two facilities developed the Gigantics to serve the role of a villain for NOAH to help improve its performance, while the other was ordered to develop the Mythos as support units for Noah.

The research of NOAH progressed by leaps and bounds due to harsh and unyeilding hard work.Furthermore, by accident, a complete "container" was reproduced, where a Hero's soul was reunited with their body, reviving them with memories of their previous lifetime, giving rise to the "Bravers". But this meant the experimental body had a purpose or intention.

And... then there was an incident involving a single Braver who escaped from the research facility.The situation was further worsened by the confused Braver running into a certain Gigantic and Mythos ordered to hunt them down. They were all fellow mighty warriors, who decided to bring upon a Warring States era on the scale of the entire planet.


But, the Three Wisemen remained obsessed with creating the strongest creatures in the world. Even after this chaos, they separated into studying the Bravers, Gigantics and Mythos separately. By the way, the Chinese facility produced the Mythos in imitation of the method to create the Bravers, but have not succeeded in creating a human. The South Africian facility succeeded in creating the Gigantic, which were silicon lifeforms originally.


Current Affairs

The Kuzuryuu Institute
Proper Noun / Modern World / Red World
Professor Kuzuryuu, Noriyuki, having been awarded the Noble Prize in Physiology or Medicine, used his own funds to establish a specialized University and Graduate School that would be at the very forefront of scientific and technological research. Said to also having backing from the Japanese government, its study environment and research facilities are so advanced that national universities can't even hold a candle to them, and gladly accepts stellar foreign students from all across the globe.

Kurosaki, Mikado entered the University at the age of 15, and now currently continues research into human cloning at the institute's graduate school.


Future Titles

The Nine Great Heroes
Common Noun / Future Title / Red World

Furthering refining genes of heroes from days long ago that were collected from unearthed relics, clones called Bravers received special abilities far beyond that of normal humans. However, a genius doctor, the one who developed the method to create the Bravers, made the ubermensch of the ubermensch, called the "Nine Great Heroes".
