Note: I will not be working on my other story of Yu-Gi-Oh, that is Dark Side of Dimension, a title that is a reference of the new movie, but I will be doing this which is a prequel to that story. Anyway, like my other story, I will tell you this: I'm not very good, and by that, I mean not good at all in writing stories that involves the rules of dueling in the anime or Duel Monster game for that matter, so this is an OC dueling rules. I will explain, though I already explained this in the other story Yu-Gi-Oh: Dark Side of Dimension. So for now, here are the OC dueling rules:
This is considered RPG based element, such as monsters will not be automatically destroyed should a higher ATK powered monster attack it. At least not immediately, as in the monster's ATK or DEF power, depends on what position it has, is lowered to 0, it's destroyed. And the difference is inflicted on the LP, either because the monster is in ATK position or because due to an special effect that shall take hold in DEF monsters, as in even in DEF position, they still take the difference of the DEF power of the attacked monster and the ATK power of the attacking monster, when it reaches 0, the DEF power of the attacked monster.
I suppose it's more like a real-battle simulation, where monsters move like in a real battle situation, and the duelists are the summoners that may use various cards at their disposal to attack or aid their monsters. Such as the usage of Diadhanks in the Original Yu-Gi-Oh series.
And there are OC cards as a result, while some cards will remain the same here such as Ancient Rules, Flute of Summoning Dragon, Bond Between Master and Student and many more. Including Monster cards, to be safe. Also, the amount of damage that is inflicted on a monster depends on the "percentage damage" of the attacking monsters, that both monsters attack each other and may damage each other, similar to an RPG game simulation battle system. The "percentage damage" is depending on the level of the monster in question, as well as their ATK power. For example, if a level 12 monster is reduced to 0, then should a level 4 monster attack it, it will have no damage, and no damage to the LP. As the monster is too powerful, such is the idea of the "percentage damage", making it akin to a real battle situation or RPG gaming element.
But regarding special abilities, if a monster like Neo-Bubbleman attacks, and with Bubble Blaster, then its special ability can still be activated. And at this, the "percentage effect damage" is in play, like it's similar that high level ranking monsters cannot be destroyed by lower level ones, the same goes for the ones being affected by the special abilities, meaning lower level monsters cannot affect high-ranking level monsters. Or that in here, should a monster has too much power, 3000 or so, the effect will also not work. Again, making it akin to a real battle situation or RPG element gaming system. As the monster with high ATK power is too powerful, and like-wise, the high leveled ones.
The same goes for trap and magic effects, it will probably not work on high level monsters, level 9 up to 12. But there are some that does take in effect, at least, the effects that are not damaging or shall we say, opposing, to the monsters. Thus, there are a lot of things that is not the same in the rules of the anime and Duel Monster card game. Like I said, this is more like RPG based element rules. And those of level 1, 2, 3 are regarded as special ones, as they have special abilities considered deadly, as compensation for having low attack power and level, in that.
Also, there are some monsters with a mixture of elements, with the most common ones are Light and DARK, example of this is Black Luster Soldier, or it's improvised version of a card, Black Luster Soldier Illuminate, and then, Dark Magician Girl, who harness the power of light holy and that of the gentle darkness. As for the summoning rules, there's the usual tribute summon, then, there's the ritual summon, fusion, and synchro. But the XYZ summon is not here, but there may be a reference of that in the OC dueling rules in here.
I hope those who read this can understand the rules of the dueling elements here. If you wish to read this, go ahead. Fortune be yours.

Yu-Gi-Oh GX: The Start Of Tag Force
Chapter 1: The Coming Of A Dueling god
...At Chancellor Sheppard's office ... ...
"Ah, yes, welcome to Duel Academy." Chancellor Sheppard welcomes the red Osiris student in front of his desk. "Yes, you must Hagure Konami, yes?"
"Ah. Pleasure to meet you, sir." He bowed politely.
"Ah, good, good. You're polite, ha ha. Hard working students are the ones to prosper first in this Academy. Welcome to Duel Academy. You came a bit late at the start of this semester, but don't worry, study hard and you'll catch up in no time."
"Ah, I'll do just that. Then, any further words-?"
"Haha, you're quite sharp. -well, this academy aims to create the next Duel King this coming three years, we look forward for your performance here. And there will be an upcoming tag duel tournament that will be held on this island - - we encourage you to make friends to create a friendly and safe environment in this institute, for only society to prosper, the bonds of people is absolute. So to that, I am done with the introduction. You may go to your - - Oh, excuse me, forgive my manners. Your teacher will be Velian Crowler, he's the most intellectual member of our faculty along with some of the Obelisk Blue staff. Just follow Velian's instruction once you go to your class."
"Hm, okay. Then, I shall see you later."
"Ah. Good luck now!" -Sheppard looks out the horizon and could feel that something different is on the air. "Hm, I could feel that this is going to be quite a year to be with, especially with that red hat duelist ... ... "
-Speaking of Red hat, Konami just found a ... ...colorful - looking teacher, whom he assumes to be Velian Crowler as he sees his profile data nearby as he's grinning like silly, much to Konami's awkwardness. "Heehee, we got a new student today in our class -! Hahaha, his test in the admin test were ... ...quite noticable. And quite excellent, too." Velian said and Konami recalls his test, near 100% as he could tell, as he receive applause from the others - well, actually, he's not really smart, but it's that he got a "memory photograph" that he can "picture" one scene that it will last for 45 minutes before it's gone - thus, he's able to remember the materials by "photographing" them, into his mind, and just like that, he gains a lot of scores - - "This could be my chance to rid myself of that ... ... Drop out boy, heeheehee ... ...Guah-!? H-How long have you been there-!?" Velian lashed out at Konami who is taken aback and showed his student profile - -
...
...Later ... ...
"Hm ... ...Ahem, I'm Doctor Velian Crowler, the homeroom teacher for this class-! I see you're Hagure Konami, it has been our pleasure to finally meet you-!"
"Ah ... ...Ah. -well, I sort of wandered here in the wrong time, so sorry about eavesdropping on you ... ... "
"No, no, it's okay-! Just make sure you don't - - " -As Konami's hands are held by Crowler, the other students came in, well, most are that of the Osiris Red students who are all piled up, much to Crowler's disgust - "Hey-! Be quiet in there, or you'll be put in detention-!"
"Heeeck-! Heck no-! I don't want to stand up at the corridor-!" Judai Yuki retorted - -
"Konami-kun, don't become a drop out boy like him, okay-?" Velian told Konami who is eyed by majority of the students around and right then that Velian goes in front to introduce Konami as he's introduced as a transfer student, though most of the Obelisk Blue students just spat in disgust - mildly speaking of seeing another Osiris Red student - and Judai wonders who Konami is. "Now then, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to welcome - - "
"Doctor Crowler-! I think there's no need to waste time on that Osiris Drop out-!" Jasmine, one of the Obelisk blue students, said, having have raised her hand - - but then Asuka Tenjouin, the Obelisk blue "princess" raised her hand, "Please, introduce yourself. You were - - "
"I'm Hagure Konami. Believe it or not, I actually passed 90% score at the written exam, but due to some reasons unknown, I'm not in Obelisk." '...And thankfully, I'm not, considering the company I'll be accompanying ... ... '
"Yes-! That is true-! You see, he's not really an Osiris Drop out, but he's actually a passing student with an average of 99% score-!" Velian explained - -
"""EEEEEEEEEHHHHHH-!?"""
-Everyone responded in unison and right then, Konami ought to sit at the Osiris red - line, much to Crowler's disguist - - "-well, we all have to endure. -well then, Konami-kun, you may seat among those drop outs, but be sure to don't get affected by their slow witted-ness-!"
-Konami sat beside Judai's group who waved hi at him. He waved back at them, and then, Crowler begins his lessons now, now that the transfer student has been introduced, any how - -
...
...Later, after class session ... ...
"-That's it for today. Normal lessons will start tomorrow-! Konami-kun, I believe I can - - "
"Actually, I shall take care of that nyaa~~ I'm Daitokuji-sensei nyaa~~, I shall take care of that escort thing as I'm head of the Osiris Red dormitory, after all." -Daitokuji said as Crowler appoints him as such - -
...
...Later, at the poor accomodation of the Osiris red dormitory, that is like just a plain wooden building ... ...Perhaps something to motivates student to work harder, perhaps ... ...?
"This is the Osiris Red dorm nyaa~~ It's quite lovely and they serve the finest food here-!"
"Meow." A chubby looking cat snuggled at Daitokuji and he picked him up - - "Oh, hello there, Pharaoh. This is Pharaoh, believe it or not, he's everyone's favorite nyaa~"
"Huh, Pharaoh, must be the Egyptian demeanor for him to have that name." Konami sarcastically remarked and Daitokuji reveals he was once an excavator and he's once an alchemist, too, but now he's teaching about Duel Monsters at this school - - "Ah, okay. Then, mind showing me around?"
"Hai~~ Hai~~ -well then, it's almost time for dinner. Let's go, Konami-kun." -Konami is led to the dining hall - - "what is this-?"
"This is the dining room nyaa~~ This is where we serve the finest food around here, he he, it's quite poor compare to the Obelisk Blue has to offer, but this is where you can have peace and quiet, if you can believe it."
"This suits me fine." Konami said which surprised Daitokuji, but finds him interesting no less ... ... "-well, when is dinner be served-?"
"Hai~~ -we'll call on the cooks to serve us some sausage."
...
...Later that evening, everyone is gathered at the dining hall of the Osiris Red as two - Yes, two transfer students have arrived in front ... ...
"-Good evening-! -Today, we have not one, but two transfer students - - " -This other transfer student, Rei Saotome, seems to have ... ...feminine issues, as Konami would put it. "Now, before we all head for dinner, let us proceed with the introduction of these two - - "
"I'm Saotome Rei, believe it or not, I'm actually very masculine-!"
... ...Or so "he" says, as Konami could really put his eyes on it, as if something is very off with "him", "Now then, that was some very masculine introduction, now, Konami-kun, it's your turn."
"...Right, I'm Hagure Konami. I'll be here in Osiris red instead of Obelisk Blue despite my scores, so, I hope we can get along well." -He bowed politely but Judai isn't satisfied - -
"The new kid is kinda depressing ... ... " He bemoaned.
"-well, would you be if you're put in Osiris red-?" The koala-like friend of the two, Judai Yuki and Syrus Truesdale, Chumley Huffington, said.
"...That's true ... ..." Syrus bemoans and could relate in his own situation - -
"In that case ... ...HOOORAAYY-! HOORAAYY-! -Congratulations in passing the written exam, and you got the coolest color of the school co-ed-!"
"Oh come on, Aniki-!"
"-Don't be down, we're here for you-! Everyone should help out one another whenever they're in a jam, right-!?"
"You see that, you already have friends, nya~~! Osiris red is great, now then, time for dinner-!" -Konami sat beside Judai as he offered a seat. "Oh, Judai-kun, why don't you and your buddies escort our new guest to his new room after dinner-? I'll escort cute little Rei, here."
"-Okay, sensei, all right, Konami-! -want some fried shrimps-!?"
"-Hey, that's mine, Aniki-! Give it back-!"
...
...
...Later, after dinner ... ...
"Hmgghh, now that's some good fried shrimps-! Okay, Konami, I guess we'll take you to your room, come on, let's go-!"
"Ah, Aniki, wait up-!"
"-we shouldn't run after dinner." Chumley groaned.
"Ah, whatever. Come on, or we'll leave you behind-! All right-!" -Konami is taken to his own room that is empty but it could suit him very well.
"-well, Konami, this is your room. Looks like you can have the room by yourself, hehe, that's kinda lonely, isn't it?" Judai said.
"Lucky ... ... " Syrus whispered.
"But, if you get lonely, we're at the room next to the room beside yours, so feel free to drop by-! And maybe then we can have a nice duel-!"
"Hey, hey, come on, give him a break. He's just been here." Chumley reasoned. "That's true, Aniki, so don't get him too worked up. Plus, we still have home work to do."
"Ah, ah. Sorry, I gotta get unpacked. I need some space." Konami said.
"Yeah, okay. See ya around, new guy, oh, Konami-kun, that is-!"
"-well, I guess we better hit on our own room, now. Bye-!" Syrus and the others bid farewell as Konami lies on his bed - and right then, he'd remembered back at Domino City, he found a unique card ... ... "...That card ... ... " -He brought it out that he sees or feel something about it -The Eye of Lambda - - as the English name of the card says - - "...what kind of card is this, powerful as the Sangenshin-?"
"-Hmph, maybe. Maybe not. But then, again, the Sangenshin do have their unique ways of getting things their way, but as for me ... ...Hmph, I don't know, but either way, looks like I'll be with you for a while, so ... ...Nice to meet you - " - His voice switched to that of a banchou-like masculine voice in the last moment or last sentence there - - "...what the ... ...? ... ... ... ...Hmph, oh well, I'm going to get unpacked, get my self a nice shower, then head straight to bed ... ... " -He said as he begun unpacking a lot of boxes around here, took a shower and right then he decided to head straight for bed - - and slept like a rock ... ... '... ...I hope everything will be okay ... ... ... ... '
...
...
...At some sort of cloudy or foggy place ... ...
"...Huh, looks like you're in a vision of some sort." "Lambda" as in the card that Konami picked up at Domino City near the duel entrance building when he was applying for the Academy - - has appeared in front of him. "...But for you to become greater than the gods, then, you must defeat that ... ... ... ...okay... ...?" -The divine serpent, Geh, appeared and snarled at Konami's direction - -
-Right then, "Lambda" returned in its card version, and Konami activates his Duel Academy duel disk - -
Konami: 4000 LP
?: 4000 LP
-Turn 1: Konami's turn.
-He just drew The Eye of Lambda, which he subsequently summoned on the field - - "All right, then, I summoned forth The Fool Arcana - Arcana Force, and Millennium Shield, using Ancient Rules -! -Next I fuse both of them to Lambda - to form out new beings, come forth, Lambda wise-man-!" -A "human" version of "Lambda" appeared, and he's like wearing a graduation hat - for some reason.
"...Turn End."
-Turn 2: ? Turn.
-Some sort of draw is made, and some rectangular objects are seen - and they seem to be cards as far as Konami could conjecture - - "-we see power in all living things ... ...great power reside within, offer us a sacrifice, and the power within shall be granted for thee-!"
-Right then that Divine Serpent Geh roared wildly and aimed at Konami and is about to attack, "GROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRR-!" Its ATK power is ... ...Infinite-!?
-Konami expected something like that and that's why he came prepared, as he fused the Fool Arcana Force and Millennium Shield. "Legendary humanoid creature Lambda's special ability activates-! He can attain new possibilities by forming or fusing with other monsters and right now, due to the fusion of Millennium Shield and The Fool Arcana, he can now deflect any kind of attacks - including infinity-!"
"Grr..."
...? - ended their turn ... ... ... ...
-Turn 3: Konami's turn.
"My turn-!" -He just drew the right card now and he smirked in triumph. "...Hey, looks like we're finally coming to a conclusion, time to settle the score between us-!"
"...The infinite darkness shall set forth that thou to thy judgement ... ... "
"...Huh, we'll see ... ...Lambda-! Attack Divine Serpent Geh-!" -Next, Konami activates something from his hand - "A six-hand magic card, this time, I'm allowed to take six hand cards for each turn, now-! -I summon forth Silent Magician using Charity of The Pure Integrity-! -This lets me summon all level 3 or lower level monsters from my hand, only Silent Magician is present. And now, Alchemy Fusion-! I can mix all sort of traps and magic cards to form out new alchemy results -! -Now come, Delta Barrier Drain-! I activate it on Silent Magician, it's a new magic effect that transfer the attack of another monster to another monster -! And Silent Magician attacks Geh-! -And now, finish it off -! -Your turn, Silent Magician, attack that wretched Serpent-!" -At that, a small bubble like attack provoked the wretched serpent - and attacked at the little mage without much emotion on her expression, as if welcoming of all sorts - - but "Lambda" takes all the damage, and since he's still immune to infinite ATK powered monsters, the process keeps repeating due to Divine Serpen Geh's ATK to be infinite, thus, instigating an infinite Loop - that then Konami saw fit to summon more monsters - Jack's Knight, which special summoned Queen's Knight and eventually, King's Knight - - that are then further fused into Lambda, further increasing his power then, as it triples every time he's attacked - and Konami just used Dual Strike Counter, "Dual Strike Counter-! This lets an effect whenever that triggers when a monster is attacked once, it continues as it continues being attacked-!"
"...what-!? T-That power ... ...How could you have so much power-!?"
"I'm not done yet. Here goes, Exodia, The Forbidden One-!" -The "head" part of Exodia is summoned and right then, "I fuse it onto Lambda-!" -Lambda gains a Pharaoh like helmet - that then, "Here goes, Orichalcos-! -The moment when the bonds of people shall conquer the "dark" of the heart-! -I draw-! -The last piece of Exodia-! -when Lambda is equipped with the "head" of Exodia, he can complete Exodia once I have all the other parts and gain automatic victory-! Rather than semi victory which will not work on infinite ATK powered monster, just like in an RPG rule system, and also, this time, I end this duel-!" -Right then, the four other pieces are pieced together as they are assembled - and Lambda appears floating, as if some sort of messiah with him then summoning forth a Guardian that resembles Exodia in many ways - "...what-!?"
"...Here, let me show you, come forth, the ones who have been guarding the peace for generations - Show forth what it means to defy your Pharaoh, your leader and the symbol of unity at times of ancients-!" -At that the Guardian like colossus begun to attack and attacked with a fling of a finger only - as Lambda himself does so and right then - some sort of Force attacked Geh as Lambda puts his finger on its forehead - and fling his finger over its head - killing it instantly and wins the duel for Konami - while mocking the Orichalcos, and Konami wins the duel.
Konami: 4000 LP win
?: 0 Lose
-Right then, everything is engulfed by a blinding light - - and Konami soon returned to the real world, and much later then ... ... he felt like someone is tugging on his sleeves, and it's Rei Saotome ... ... "Hey, hurry up. I-I mean, come on, Man-! You gotta help me, a cat stole my beret hat-! And I need your help in finding it, come on, please ... ...oops. I-I mean, COME on and up At 'em-!"
"...Huh-?" -Konami could see blurry at first, but then he realized it's Rei Saotome - "...Saotome Rei, wasn't it? -what do you want-? It's Sunday today."
"Like I said, something very important to me was stolen by a cat-! It went to the abandoned dorm to the east of the island-! Come on, don't ask questions, but it's very important to me-!" -Both of them went to the other side of the island, then, as Konami takes the lead while suspicious of Rei at this - - but nevertheless, he's being asked, as for why him, well, it's because his room is the eight room that is at the lower floors, there are four rooms and at the end is his room - the eight one, which may mean something ... ...
...They stand before the Abandoned dormitory that is luxurious in its ruined state - and Konami ought to enter it, with Rei following behind - and Konami looked around, and there's no sign of a cat - Pharaoh - - as he could conjecture. "H-Hey, d-don't leave me behind-! It's not that I'm scared, all right-!? C-Come on, m-maybe I don't need my hat any more, it's not that important after all, but ... but ... ...Greeerkkcgh, G-GYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH-!" -Konami felt like he saw everything - now. A long haired student, plus, with sapphire like eyes and a very small figure that suggest of a ... ...of a girl. No, NOT SUGGest-! -It is a GIRL-!! "...Uh ... ... ... ... "
"Ew, ew, ew, eeww, something came up on me-! O-Oh ... ... ... ... " ... ...An awkward silence fills the air as of then, Rei nervously fidgets her finger while laughing nervously ... ... "S-So, you figured it out ... ..."
"He-yy-! who goes there-!?"
"*Gasp*-! -O-Oh no-!" -Suddenly Konami puts back Rei's beret hat as Manjoume Jun and another Obelisk Blue student came inside this dorm - - and they demanded what was that scream - Rei's scream - - just now.
End of Chapter 1
