Issei woke up still tired, thankfully not tired enough to be able to get to school in time. He made sure to bring his three highest graded poems with him to the academy to show them off at the club.

When he entered the class all he could see were the typical students chatting while waiting for the professor to enter the class. As he took his seat, his two friends came up to him like they usually did.

"Dude you look really tired, did you stay up playing any video games?" Motohama asked him like normal while curious over his exhausted look. Matsuda added his comment as well "especially on a school day, you've got some guts you know?"

Issei responded groggily "You could say that in a way" He was very sleepy, but not enough to really blast his mouth saying he had a system. He continued talking to them casually until the bell rang, signaling the start of class.

Issei continued to zone out because of how tired he was, maybe spending many hours trying to get the Magnum Opus was a bit too extreme, but he still thought it was worth it even though he felt extreme pain.

Speaking of which, he found out that he now could use Epistemophobic's Nightmare for the few first seconds without problem, guess using it over and over again did make him used to the initial pain, the pain increased the longer he spent using it, but he theorized it was due to his Sanity getting depleted slowly.

His thoughts kept going towards stuff related to the Writer's System, the many questions he had still plagued his thoughts, making him unable to concentrate on the lesson, but the Literature Club was the biggest of them, were they actual people or were they created by the system?

At the end of the first lesson he then wondered how the Justice stat worked, since he saw as everything seemed the same, there was nothing different to a normal day at school. Another question he had was how the girls of the club and Cordis would interact inside the Academy, he knew that they never did exist in it since if they did, he was pretty sure many of the girls would be treated as celebrities.

The classes passed and he looked around the place to see if he could see any of them around the halls, thankfully he saw Cordis passing around a corner, he decided to go greet him before the next lesson began.

"Hey Cordis! How's it going?" Issei asked in a friendly manner, despite not getting to know him much, he felt that they could be decent friends thanks to their similar interests.

"Uh? Oh it's you Hyoudou" Cordis greeted him with a pretty calm expression, it did however remind Issei about the fact that none of the members of the club seemed to have a surname or at least seemed like they'd prefer being referred to with their first name.

"So, did you make the poem?" Issei initiated with some small talk to get the conversation going, it seemed to work as Cordis replied to him "Yeah, honestly, I didn't know what to write, I went through with different topics and meshed them all together, the results seemed decent enough for me to show it to the club"

"I see, well, it's hard doing it for the first time, I know the girls won't be too hard on it, especially since it's meant for fun!" Issei tried being optimistic with this, mostly because he himself was sure that it would work out for him since he had many poems created.

"Mmm, maybe you're right, I'll just get going then, the bell is about ring so we should get to our corresponding classes" Cordis gave a small smile as he appreciated that Issei tried to see the good side of things, while departing from their conversation, it seemed like no one else noticed Issei or Cordis talking or at least no one who would start accusing Cordis of being affiliated to the Perverted Trio.

The last class finally concluded and many of the students started packing their stuff to go to either their corresponding club or to get home. In Issei's case, he was about to pack and go to the Literature Club until his two friends asked to hang out again.

"So Issei, how about we go to check at the bookstore to see if there is anything new we could buy?" Matsuda seemed pretty relaxed as today's class finally came to an end, he and Motohama were waiting for his answer.

"Oh, uh, sorry but I'm going somewhere else today" Right, he forgot to tell anyone he was now in another club, this was gonna take awhile to take care of.

"Really? What are you doing then? Is it the game you've been playing last night? Dude, mind if you tell me which one it is, it seems to be fun if it can get you that addicted to the game" Motohama seemed pretty surprised on his response, after all, they three always went together to do whatever dumb stuff they could think of.

"Well, ehm, you see, I kinda joined a club now" He responded truthfully not expecting them to really believe it, these three were blacklisted in most clubs thanks to their shenanigans.

"Oh really? and what club may that be?" A new voice came from behind the two boys, it was Aika Kiryuu, she must have overheard the conversation and decided to join in.

"The Literature Club" He bluntly answered, there was no real reason to lie about it, if anything he could just pull out the poems he has made to prove it.

"Wait, there's a Literature Club in the Academy?" Motohama seemed to have caught on, there indeed was never a Literature Club despite one existing now for mysterious reasons.

"Well it does exist, but it was pretty small to really be known by many, I think only the Student Council really knew about it" Kiryuu seemed to be knowledgeable, altho that did bring up another question, how the hell did she know it existed?

As she continued, she said something that activated the boy's jealousy system "Oh by the way, it is composed of only women from what I've seen, so I must say, are you thinking of making it your harem?" That comment somewhat annoyed Issei knowing that it was meant for Cordis, the amount of attention they gave him made it pretty obvious.

"You really think we're gonna believe it? Listen, we know Issei enough to see that there is no way he could have joined it, he's probably bluffing." Matsuda seemed confident in his answer but it did irritate Issei a bit, "like seriously, it took me a long time to finally get into the Photo Club, and that was only because I could take good photos of girls". While Matsuda kept talking, Issei pulled out the Well Written Poem he made yesterday.

Oddly enough, after waking up again, the poems started morphing into something that wasn't just a sheet of paper, the Good Grade one he made turned into a clean sheet of paper, it however lacked any of the lines or stains it had from when it was still an old notebook paper, the Great Grade poem on the other hand turned into a small notebook with a hard cover and had various trinkets decorating it, most of which were bookmarks and stickers with notes on them, lastly the Poem of the Black Swan became a genuine book that was incredibly thin, turns out when he didn't have control of his body, it made a 5 page poem, which, while he doesn't know much about poems, knew that it was a bit overkill.

"Here's the one I've written yesterday, it took me a long time to actually finish it, hence why I was awake at night" Issei dropped the small notebook on his table while his friends looked at it, Kiryuu took it and opened it to start reading.

A few minutes passed and she suddenly closed it, she then proceeded to ask Issei a question "Have you ever thought of becoming a screenwriter?"

"Uuuh, no? Why do you ask?" Issei was confused about the question, this was just a simple poem, what was inside that made her say that?.

"Well because if all porn had this kind of writing, I think it would make a fortune, this shit is better than all the stuck porn videos you get in the hub" Kiryuu vulgarly expressed surprising the perverted trio.

Oh right, the Well Written poem was about erotica, maybe he shouldn't show this to the club.

"Issei you bastard how the fuck did you get in the Literature Club!" Motohama and Matsuda cried out loud as they were completely taken over by their jealousy.

"Wait the pervert got in a club? What kind of club would allow him in?" The screams of his friends were loud enough to get the attention of other students, some of which were Murayama and Katase, they all started either whispering to themselves or trying to ask him a question.

"The club was low on members, I got interested in it and got in easily" Issei tried clearing any questions that would come up, since this seemed his chance to make it less of a big deal.

"Well I am surprised about it, I've also looked at the members and the 4 girls in it are smoking hot, you must have a lot of fun just hanging out with them." Kiryuu took out her phone that had photos of each member, which, again, begs the question on how she got them.

"ISSEI YOU FUCKER" Motohama and Matsuda completely went berserk over seeing the photos, which made him hop out of his seat and sprint out of the class' door, all the while the rest of the students looked in confusion.

"Sooooo, you think we can join the Literature Club?" One of the students asked his friend, "Dude, we're having a match next week and you're thinking of dipping out?"

"Hey didn't Kiryuu say that he wrote well? Maybe that's why he was able to join!" Another student suggested, making many of the students there either think it was true or that it was false. Unknowingly this would be the first Justice point he'd get.

"Damn it, I think I need a drink" Issei stopped running moments ago after looking at each corner to see if the coast was clear. He went to the closest Vending Machine and bought a can of Cola.

Making his way to the club he realized that the hall was pretty quiet, it seemed like the club was far away from the other ones. Opening the door he saw that only a few members were already in the room, so he took the closest desk he could find and sat down while waiting for Monika, Cordis and Sayori.

He took out Poem of the Black Swan and looked around, he saw Yuri reading a book while Natsuki was rummaging through the club room's closet. He could barely see her thanks to her petite stature.

He decided to check on the menu again, this time however he saw as his Justice went up by 1, he was confused on what caused this, but didn't mind it as it was a good change.

As more and more members came in, only Monika seemed to be missing. At this point Cordis decided to sleep while waiting. Shortly after Monika ended up entering the room, a few minutes later Cordis woke up only to see Sayori in front of him. Issei realized he still hadn't finished drinking his Cola. While drinking it he took his attention to Cordis and Sayori as the former helped keep the latter's look checked while listening to them talk.

"Why do you think you don't have a boyfriend yet?" It's because she's interested in you dumbass, I may not have any romantic experience, but this Romance story just screams cliche and generic.

Issei categorized all the other members, Cordis was the protagonist, Sayori was the childhood friend Deredere, Natsuki was the loli Tsundere, Yuri was the beautiful Dandere... but Monika? He couldn't really put his finger on any that he could remember.

"These two are pretty close." It was pretty obvious from how close they acted with each other, however, he knew that Cordis simply saw her as his friend, it was typical for the childhood friend to lose after all.

As Issei took a sip of his cola he then suddenly heard Sayori say "It means that my boobs got bigger again", upon hearing that phrase Issei completely spit out his soda due to how surprising that sentence was. This action was not ignored as the others noticed him and looked at him.

Cordis was completely red while Sayori sheepishly smiled, Yuri looked over her book but quickly got back to hiding her face behind the book to avoid any kind of interaction, Natsuki hit her head with the club room's closet looking back and glaring at Issei. "You're cleaning that" Natsuki commented as she got a broom and gave it to Issei.

While cleaning up the mess he made, he continued eavesdropping on the two, wanting to face palm due to the obvious hints Sayori was giving of which Cordis either ignored or was too dense to realize. After cleaning the mess Monika decided that now was the perfect time to show our poems, Issei had Poem of the Black Swan on his hands while looking around to see who to share it with. He saw as some of them were a bit more reluctant to pull them out, he noticed the different quality of the papers and wondered if Artistic Appraisal could give him a description on them.

Issei saw as Yuri completely blended into the background, standing up and still meshing with the blue sky and the curtains made her look serene and natural, he immediately went towards her to show his poem.

"Hey Yuri, I saw that you still didn't have anyone to share your poem with, so mind if I become your partner for this current sharing?" Issei asked nicely as he knew Yuri was quite shy.

"Uhm, sure, please give me yours first then" As she put her hand in front of her, Issei gave her the poem, he was really nervous, he did not know if it would work or if it was even good the poem could be too graphic or too dark to really be enjoyed, but his thoughts were cut short when a sudden shut of his notebook made a loud sound as he looked at Yuri's expression waiting for a reaction.

"This... is quite the complex poem, it's really long I must say, but every meaning behind each verse has so many different ways of interpreting them, I am quite impressed, the style doesn't change and you're able to mix various rhymes, this isn't your first time writing right?" Yuri seemed quite surprised over the poem, she waited for an answer as he started to respond.

"Actually, it is my first time writing, I just didn't know how good it would be but, I guess it must be good if it impressed you?" Upon hearing this Yuri's eyes looked sadder as if it was something she didn't want to hear, this confused Issei, but before he could ask what was wrong, Yuri took out her poem.

"Here's mine, I hope it's good, sorry if the writing is a bit of a mess, I hope you can give some insight on the poem" Yuri gave me her poem with a smile, looking at it, I had to admit that the writing was incredibly stylized to the point it was hard to read. I ended up activating Artistic Appraisal.

Poem Ghost under the light

Grade: Good

Description: This poem is meant to express Yuri's love for Cordis, as the Streetlight, represents Cordis, while sickening blue-green represents Sayori and Monika, as they are seen as the biggest threat for his love, Natsuki is omitted as she is seen as a non threat, the flicker represents the interaction between both of them.

Well I would have never thought of that, it seems like the girls are indeed going for Cordis' Love, while I'm here to play as a supporting character, truthfully, I am jealous, but in a way, I think just making connections with others does give me a breath of fresh new air.

"So, how do you think it was? Was the calligraphy too much of a mess?" Yuri was starting to get a bit nervous as she awaited Issei's answer.

"Well, uh, the calligraphy is beautiful ,but yes it is a bit hard to understand" Saying this to first calm her down a bit, he proceeded to ask a bigger question "Yuri did you by any chance find your special someone?"

"Wha-What?!" She got completely embarrassed over the question as she realized Issei had caught on to the meaning, but she quietly told him her response "Ye-yes, but please don't tell anyone."

"I won't, don't worry I'm not the kind of person to meddle into a girl's relationship" This was true he fucking hated it when some bastard decided to sabotage a perfect couple, well in this case it may not be perfect, but the point still stands.

We then decided to switch partners, this time my partner was Natsuki, while Yuri ended up with Cordis. I looked at Natsuki as she seemed to still be cautious around him, it didn't really bother him much, but right now he needed to break the ice.

"Here's my poem, let's just get this over with" He bluntly dropped his poem on the desk while waiting for her to pick it.

"Ugh fine, I'll do it, but not because I want to" At this point I didn't know if this was her Tsundere personality or if she really didn't like me, but I waited a bit to see what she would say.

"It does seem like those fairytales with a moral of the story kind of thing" Natsuki read through poem as she flipped to the next page, she then continued commenting about it "You know it does remind me of the ugly duckling a bit, but instead of accepting others for who they are, it is about accepting oneself for who they are and stop pretending to be something else" As she finished reading it she handed it back to Issei "It's surprisingly good, I must say, while it isn't my kind of story, it does make me want to ask, is there by any chance something you want to talk about?"

Silence reigned as Issei was trying to find his words to answer, Natsuki quickly cleared any misunderstanding by quickly adding "N-Not that I care much, but there has to be somewhere where you gained this kind of expressing from"

"I don't think so? It was too late for me to really think about it, I simply wrote what I felt was good" Issei lied as he couldn't find any other way of telling her. Natsuki's comments about his story did give him some understanding of the book, but not enough to really see the entire thing.

"Well no matter, I guess I have to give you mine now then" Natsuki looked away as she gave her poem to him, just like with Yuri he decided on using Artistic Appraisal on it.

Poem Eagles Can Fly

Grade: Good

Description: The poem is straight forward, it expresses a person's inability to do things when others accomplish many things.

"That was quite a short description" Issei then gave the poem back, they didn't really exchange words, as they waited for the rest of them to finish, it looked like Cordis didn't really get the meaning of Yuri's poem, this time Issei didn't blame him, he too couldn't understand it if it wasn't for the system's help.

Changing partners again this time Issei partnered with Monika, as she went up to him while smiling, Issei felt himself getting a bit nervous, this was the Literature Club president and the girl that Issei knew the least of.

"So, I've overheard from the other two that you've brought quite the poem" Monika initiated the conversation as she closed the gap between them"I hope that it does live up to what they've said, mind if I take it from your hands? As she grabbed the notebook Issei felt as he let go of it, nervously waiting for her to finish reading it.

"This is quite good! And you said this is your first time writing, right? Maybe you should join a writing competition some day, I know you'll make the club proud" Monika closed the notebook while taking out her own.

"Here's mine, it may be worse than yours but I do hope you still enjoy it" The interactions were swift and Issei kept quiet, as he simply marveled at her beauty he realized what he was doing and quickly activated his skill.

Item

Poem Hole in Wall

Grade: Great

Description: Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back, with this epiphany it now knows more than what it is supposed to know, just as it looked through the hole, the other side stared back.

"That is incredibly encrypted" Issei thought that maybe the higher grade the poem, the less straightforward it was, Poem of the Black Swan's description had a last part that he still couldn't figure out, as he was sure there was meaning behind it, just like any other poem, while Well Written Poem had an explanation that was too out of his field to understand, the contents were readable but it was too much for Issei to read.

"I don't get this one" Issei said nonchalantly as he really didn't want to think much of it, it was just a poem, he could get more ideas the more poems he read.

"Mmm, well that wasn't really what I was looking for, do you have any feedback then?" Monika seemed a bit disappointed with the answer, but quickly changed as she asked the next question.

"Not much, I don't really know about poems, I am just as surprised about how well the one I wrote turned out" Issei wondered if he needed to start actually studying literature to go forward, Epistemophobic's Nightmare wouldn't cut it with its drawbacks.

We then switched partners once again, this time my partner was Sayori, while she was the first one I talked to, she was the one that I didn't expect much from, especially since the poem was created this morning.

"Mind if I read yours first? It might be faster this way since I don't know how long reading mine might take" As he asked her this question, she proceeded to accept it "Sure! You seem to have gotten the hang of it!" She quickly gave me her poem which was on a badly ripped piece of a notebook.

I proceeded to use Artistic Appraisal yet again to see what the poem was about.

Item

Poem Dear Sunshine

Grade: Good

Description: The sunshine represents Cordis as he is the one who helps her the most, there is a hinted thought of suicide en the last few lines as if it weren't for Cordis, Sayori would have ended her life, bringing upon her to an endless slumber.

"This... I did not expect this" Issei was now really worried about Sayori. This poem cemented that this story was more than a generic romance story, the hidden messages in these poems would have easily gone undercover until it was too late.

"It is quite nice! Especially for something made this morning" Issei lied to not alarm anyone, he knew that making a scene right now wouldn't work, he planned on telling this to either Cordis as it seemed like he was the strongest anchor or helping her out himself.

"Aw you don't need to flatter me!" Sayori rubbed the back of her head as she proceeded to pick up my poem. "I guess it's my turn to read yours" She proceeded to read, but as more time passed the more silence became present between them.

Issei started to get concerned and was about to ask her about it. But then as soon as he opened his mouth he heard something coming from where Sayori was sitting.

Tears started coming out of her eyes as she rubbed them to clear her eyesight, at this point Issei was alarmed. "Hey Sayori are you alright?" He got closer to her, kneeling on her side while waiting for a reply.

"Ye-yeah I'm fine, just give me a moment" The tears still didn't stop flowing as they both noticed that the other members were starting to look at both of them. Reacting quickly Sayori stood and went toward the door to exit before saying "I'll be back for a bit everyone, I-I just need some time to calm down."

As the door closed yet again, the lack of any following sound was awkward, "I'll go check on her, I'll be back soon as well." Issei quickly stood up to follow her, as he felt guilty over something he was not expecting. "Just what was written in this poem to make her cry like that?"

As he made his way through the halls he finally caught up to Sayori. As soon as he saw her, she was sitting on a bench while holding her legs together looking down and crying. He slowly went up to her and asked her again "Do you need to have some alone time or do you want to talk about it?"

"No, I think I am fine now" She calmed down a bit but didn't seem to stop crying, she then proceeded to talk to him. "The poem was... too emotional, I felt like I was the black swan really." Issei looked at her with an understanding look and kept silent, he didn't know what to do, but he was there to listen to her talk about it, it would also help him know more on Poem of the Black Swan.

"I sometimes wonder what meaning I have for living. I felt comfort when seeing others happy, so I kept everyone like that, but it is sometimes too much for me to handle." Sayori continued telling him while taking everything out of her chest. "I want to be loved, but if I can't even do something as simple as keeping others happy, then I don't deserve it." "Cordis has always been there with me to fix my problems, but now it feels like it is hindering his relationship with the other girls, I don't know if I feel guilty or if I love it, it confuses me to the point it's making me crazy."

As soon as she finished telling him everything, it was Issei's turn to help her out "Sayori, if I could give you a word of advice, you're being too selfless, there is nothing wrong on being a bit selfish, if you want to be loved" Issei didn't truly know how to help her but if anything he was actually willing to activate Second Take and try again. "There is also something else that I would advise you about, don't let Cordis go just because you feel like you're hindering him, just like you, he would be generous enough to spend his time with you without feeling any regrets, you'll never know when they truly are gone." The last part that Issei told about was more of a personal experience, he hasn't seen his childhood friend for over a decade and he misses hanging out with him.

"I've read your poem and I know that you've thought about it, I don't know if you've tried it, but maybe trying to go to a therapist could help a bit, just know that everyone would be devastated if anything happened to you" Issei was a bit hesitant about saying the next line but he needed to make sure Sayori wouldn't try anything rash "Think about how Cordis would feel, if you truly want to continue with this charade, then at the very least try to unburden yourself a little."

"You deserve to be loved, you're trying your best to help everyone, and you deserve to be rewarded for it and again, there is nothing wrong with being selfish and showing others that you are not ok." Finishing with the last sentence Issei hoped that what he said was enough to help Sayori cope for a bit.

A few minutes passed waiting for Sayori to respond, Issei was awaiting her answer as he wasn't sure if what he said was even correct.

"I appreciate the sentiment" Sayori started to show her smile again as she finally stopped crying "I'll try my best to follow your advice." She then stood up from the bench and walked towards the academy, only to turn around and ask Issei with a big smile "Now, shall we go back to the club room?"

Issei truthfully didn't know if she was putting up her fake personality or if the advice helped her. Just then as he stood up, the system notified him of something new.

A new image has been added to the Gallery

Cherry Blossom

Issei looked at the image for a bit, he noticed that not a single time during his stay at the Literature Club did he try to do something perverted, he started to feel as if he just wanted to enjoy his time there.

He then quickly rushed towards Sayori's side to get back to the club, Issei started to feel calmer as he seemed to have done the correct thing.

As we made our way to the club room, we opened the door only to see Natsuki and Yuri arguing. Cordis was in the middle silently listening as it seemed like they were fighting over him. Sayori quickly put herself in the middle to try and stop the fight.

Apparently this was the first time this had happened, Issei knew exactly why, the protagonist was a huge factor here, so when multiple love interests were in the same room, it usually ended up like this. It seemed as if they had finished sharing poems, which made me wonder what Cordis' poem was about. In the end I didn't really care since usually the protagonist was quite bland.

We all bid farewell as Cordis and Sayori went back together to their houses,altho Yuri and Natsuki didn't end up apologizing to each other, they did seem a bit guilty over their argument, while everyone else went alone. Issei felt exhausted as he was not expecting any of today's events.

He noticed that the Writer's System had been silent for the whole time, but then a notification showed up.

Quest #2

Work of Art

Condition: Show a Good grade poem at the Club

Failure: You are unable to show a Good grade poem

Completed!

Rewards: Relationship Menu Option Unlocked

A new option had been unlocked from the menu and this one seemed more related to Dating Simulators. This time Issei was anxious over how it would look, since the system seemed to be incredibly simplistic.

He quickly waited a bit to see what the next would be, a few seconds later another panel showed up.

Quest #3

Friendly Bonding

Condition: Increase your Relationship with a Character to 50 at the end of the next day

Failure: You do not increase your Relationship with a Character to 50

Accept

It seems like this time it will be about the Relationship section. Issei didn't know if this could lead to a romantic route or if this was simply just friendship. He then switched to the Help section for an explanation of the new option.

Relationships can be either Friendship or Romantic, the first bar next to the character represents friendship, while the second bar represents romantic feelings.

"This might be the shortest explanation yet." Issei didn't have much to add, since it looked like it was going to work similarly if not identical to most Dating Simulators.

Relationships

Story 1

Cordis: 12/100 - 0/100

Monika: 20/100 - 0/100

Natsuki: 15/100 - 0/100

Sayori: 40/100 - 0/100

Yuri: 23/100 - 0/100

Well as always the menu was incredibly simplistic, Issei guessed that just comforting Sayori helped a lot in increasing their bond, seeing Cordis have a low score was both expected and not at the same time, they may not have interacted much, but they were still pretty amicable.

The other three seemed more in the middle, he assumed that Yuri had more due to him understanding her message in the poem, and his reputation hurt his bond with Natsuki.

He noticed that it said Stories 1, meaning that this could not be the only time he entered in a story, he wondered what other stories could he enter, and if he could do so while completing another.

He then realized that Cordis also had a romance bar, which Issei decided to completely ignore as he really did not want to enter in a relationship with another guy.

In the end he spent grinding his Temperance stat by creating more poems, this time he didn't go for another Magnum Opus Grade poem, since he didn't know if he could take the pain again. Instead he'd spend his time creating Great Grade poems.

As night fell Issei decided that it was enough and went to sleep, awaiting the next day and starting the new quest.

(A/N)

Uuuh, I can explain, so instead of working on The Grimm Emperor, I just had to take advantage of this rush of want to write, so I continued with this story.

Now this is important for me to say, you know that part about depression and trying to cheer Sayori up? Well, you need to know that I am NOT a professional and would not recommend you taking my advice about it. Was it meant to be correct? ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOT, it was more meant to show a much more realistic side of someone trying to help out while not knowing how to.

I've been told that I am good at listening and giving advice but I don't really buy it despite it seemingly helping them a lot.

The poem's meaning is my interpretation of them, don't take them as fact, poems are meant to be interpreted by the readers, so it's normal if it is different for each one.

Lastly, the image that I've used in this chapter, I have no idea of the original author, since I just took it from google.

Just like I promised, I would talk about scrapped concepts and such that would have appeared in the last chapter, that being the first one.

Originally this wasn't meant to be a Gamer fic, instead a Time Loop one, but I realized that the first few stories didn't really mesh well with it, and so it was moved as part of a skill, making the Gamer System what I ended up with.

The Magnum Opus section was supposed to be Issei's first death, but after giving it a bit of thought concluded that it would be unecesary and would take the bigger death's impact.

The Well Written poem was supposed to be called Poor Screenwriter's Book, another reference to Lobotomy Corporation but thought it was too many important items for a single chapter, and it also had a WAYYY different finality than the Well Written poem.

Cordis was originally gonna be called Kordian or Corazon, but the former was scrapped as it was apparently a polish musician's name iirc and Corazon was just too chained to One Piece.

So that's it for the current scrapped concepts. I'll see y'all when I decide to update again.

(Extra A/N)

Like I said before, the images cannot be put in fanfiction, but you can find them in wattpad since that's where I originally posted this fic, same username, and same cover and everything. The images aren't really relevant, and neither are the songs, but it's a nice way to either find cool new music or see where I got the inspiration from. So thats it ig
