AN: this is the bonus chapter as promised(THIS IS NOT CHAPTER 3), in which some things will be explained while there will some spoilers so proceed with caution depending on how you feel about spoilers.

Also this chapter will be way shorter as it exists just to explain stuff and such rather then push the story forward, and whenever I might rant about comments I would like to apologize if I'm being rude but just so you know I read your comments and try to take into consideration the things that could improve the story according to you guys and with this out of the way let's get to some useful information.


First thing first is the list of "Rights" or Virtues, there are a total of 10 Rights with 7 of them existing as a counter or balance act to the 7 sins while the 3 other Rights are there in general for not being a dick and to Govern all the 7 "normal" Rights.

sidenote- all abilities here are not finalized so if you have any suggestion i will gladly hear it (the only finalized ability is Subaru's justice first power).

1 Diligence-the counter to sloth which is interpreted as persistence, effortfulness and ethics and one of the rights that I think I have an idea what kind of powers it should give its user: super speed or more accurately flash level of speed powers: ignoring air resistance, vibrating at different frequencies for a multitude of effects and special relativity manipulation, mind you that 1. All of this would be part of the first ability and 2. That this isn't finalized so if you think you have a better idea then I would like to know, I'm serious.

2 Charity-the counter to greed which manifests as benevolence, generosity and sacrifice and one of the rights that I have no idea what kind of powers it should give so I am right now open to any suggestion you can give.

3 Temperance-the counter to gluttony represented by self restraint and moderation, which actually based on where I took these virtues should technically appear twice but I don't see that happen in the source material and yes I know there are 3 bishops for this sin but they embody different aspects of gluttony so that's different, moving on I was thinking of maybe having 3 people who will hold temperance to create a parallel between the sin and virtue, as for ability I thought of having it create a field where everyone has everyone's skills, abilities and body strength and durability minus this Right while all divine protections are erased as to where you can only win by relying on your decisions, tl;dr temperance makes everyone equals.

4 Patience-the counter to wrath that is practiced with forgiveness, mercy and well…patience, unlike the others I have a pretty clear idea of what it should give: a case of ultra instinct from dragon ball super (but no power boost, just the mental effects) plus the ultimate eye or eyes in this case from full metal alchemist.

5 Chasity/Purity-the counter to lust which is done with abstinence and purity and the one that I really don't get and no its not the adult kind of thing but I won't stop any dumb jokes about it, as for its power I thought about it being able to create unbreakable mental blocks such as: you can't move or you can't touch/attack me or best one yet: you can't poop or piss, that sort of stuff but with it being unable to block authorities because otherwise that would be broken as hell, but really though I don't get Chasity except for the haha funny sex thing or the bonk no horny/cheating.

6 Kindness-oh boy this is it, the anti satella or the envy counter which would be practiced with satisfaction, compassion and gratitude as for its power I was thinking about it creating a "pacifist zone" where no one can hurt anyone or be hurt i.e a stopgap that can work against its user: regulas is about to die but so is otto so kindness is activated to save otto but it also saves regulas as he rants about his right to die(Regulas:how dare you disrespect my rights?! i have a right to die all others do so why must you ).

7 Humility-the counter to pride which is embodied with bravery, modesty and reverence which some of might already be thinking on who should have it and to that I say: which person who wears red?, moving on I thought about it giving its user a buffed version of anti recognition where its as if you don't exist and people don't acknowledge you even if you cut off their arm they will think either 1. Someone else did it or 2. Somehow the wind did it, to that point you can rape someone (don't do that) and they will think they are simply that horny + you can give others your aura, divine protections and skills and possibly make others believe that person is you.

8 Fortitude/Courage-one of the 3 special ones that governs all the 7 others, this one is practiced with perseverance and endurance as for its power I thought about borrowing from the x-men comics and allowing it's user to become a literal unstoppable force like the juggernaut with the minus of being unable to stop moving without deactivating this power or switching to being an immovable being like the blob with the obvious downside and to make this somewhat fair have a small cooldown period when deactivated but I also plan on the 3 special ones being unpredictable on what they might actually give so this is just one example.

9 Justice-d4c, dirty deeds done dirt cheap, dojyaaan! Ok I will stop now, anyway this is the virtue that Subaru has and one that is hard to define because it can be defined as: the balance between selfishness and selflessness or also as fairness and righteousness or also as moral justice and legal rights, basically no one really knows what justice is all about not even I so please don't complain ok? Anyway both because its one of the special virtues and also because no one knows what's "true" justice the abilities it can give fluctuate wildly and there will be instances where Subaru loses this right and someone else has it and we will see what it can give such as: a modified version of the penance stare of ghost rider or: a modified version of civil war(if you noticed I can get lazy in my writing and excessive in my "borrowing")

10 Prudence-the last of both the virtues and the extra/special ones (this virtue is the one that governs all others), prudence is the ability to govern and discipline oneself using reason and also the ability to discern the appropriate course of action that should be taken in any given situation or time, in lemans terms it means don't be stupid and don't stupid things because you are hungry, horny, proud, greedy, angry, lazy, envious which basically means control yourself and do the right thing whatever it may be at the moment as for the power it would give I have no idea, as i plan on it being one of if not the last virtues that are formed but it is going to be without a shadow of a doubt the strongest and most dangerous virtue that there is.


Now that we got done with explaining the boring stuff about what are the virtues and what they might do here are some things like power ranking and limits that these things have.

1-you can only have one virtue, that's right! You can't stack multiple virtues and in case you try you will only have the one that you are most compatible with while the rest fly off to find someone more compatible then you, also Prudence is a special case as in order to be compatible with it you need to be compatible with all 9 other Rights before having Prudence.


2-what happens if you have an Authority and try to gain a Right or backwards? They will end checking what you are more compatible with and depending on the result the other one will exit your body to find someone else unless it's a Right and Authority that counter one another in which case your mind will start to deteriorate and destroy itself because its like trying to mix oil and water, don't worry there probably will be a moment in the story where this happens.


3-what is better? a Authority or a Right? They are basically the same thing but one is overhauled as to make it so almost anyone can use it and incase you aren't compatible with a Right it will just change you subtly until you are compatible, unlike an authority which will twist you greatly and may have unforeseen side effects ,as for powers its almost the same but Rights will always give you 2 powers: 1 You get immediately and 1 you get later when it evolves which happens when you do something great which is connected to the virtue example being: carrying supplies to a starving village and refusing to rest as if you do you might not make it in time to save them from starving, while a authority stays the same for a person and can give any number of abilities as its been shown. Tl:dr Rights can evolve and always give 2 powers while Authorities stay the same and can give any number of powers.


4. power ranking, there is a simple ranking of Rights in terms of power but just because you have a stronger Right doesn't mean its easier to use or as simple so its not a case of Right A gives +1 to strength while Right B gives +2 which means lower ranked Rights can beat higher ranked ones because its easier to use or less complex to use(regulas vs name and memory eating).

The ranking are as follows: all 7 normal ones are at the bottom on the same level meaning they don't have a clear advantage over one another followed by Fortitude/courage which is followed by Justice and then finally there is Prudence which is the strongest and just to emphasize how strong Prudence will Probably be someone with it will be able to kill both Reinhard and Satella permanently but keep in mind that this will be one of if not the last virtues to appear in the story.

Here is an easier way to see the ranking-1-Prudence 2-Justice 3-Fortitude/courage 4-everything else.


Now I know that each of you have thoughts on who should have a Right (not you regulas) and what right they should have so here is a major spoiler warning, I am going to let you know some who are guaranteed to receive a right and some that might have one be it temporarily or not.

Here they are- guaranteed: otto, Reinhard, Garfiel.

Possible: Julius, Felt, Emilia, petra, Wilhelm, Roy Alphard, mimi and co, and maybe some others.

Feel free to give your suggestion even if they are not compatible or you suggested it for memes (humble Priscilla/generous Anastsia and more).

As for how the story will progress, I am hoping to have a good amount of action, character dialogue and we can't forget having Subaru suffer because its not re zero without it!.

The reason there was so much boring exposition in first 2 chapters (and here) is so I can set things up and not have to stop and give some boring ass explanation as to why something happens like this or that and I hope that I wont have to.

And with this I bid you farewell have a good rest of your day while I go back to my basement to work on chapter 3 which I hope to release as soon as possible.


AN: for any wondering or not, I am fine with having justice Subaru make cameos/pranks in other fics so long as credit is given and the same goes for if anyone wants to write full stories of some of the realities which I make up for this story for example the one where Reinhard and Subaru are swapped and just to make things clear its not just them but some parts of the entire world are swapped (dragon kingdom of Japan/dragon sword Honjo Masamune, sacred empire of Britain, holy kingdom of Russia, America city states and maybe more changed things but the characters are mostly the same ones.)

also feel free to make a react fic be it with the cast from whdaa (you might want to ask for permission from reacstionist) or one with the archbishops seeing this, apart from that have a good rest of your day while I try to write chp3 within 10 or so days.
