The sword sank slowly into her chest.
Amane didn't cry out.
Not a sound, not a tear. Only a deep exhale escaped her lips, a sigh of relief. A strange warmth spread through her body as metal pierced flesh and bone. Then came the cold… the cold of the end.
But the end didn't come.
A shiver, barely perceptible at first, ran through her. Her heart no longer beat, and yet she could hear something… a muffled, distant, but steady rhythm. As if it were coming from another world.
A dark, dense, merciless halo began to swirl around her. The sword in her chest started to glow… no, not glow—burn. White flames enveloped the blade, clashing against the shadows. Two forces—one divine, one demonic—raged in perfect chaos… within her.
Then, suddenly, everything shifted.
The darkness seeped into her flesh, merged with it. Light wrapped around her soul. A silent explosion erupted inside. Her body collapsed to her knees—but did not fall.
Her eyes snapped open.
Red. Brilliant. Pierced with gold.
An interface appeared before her, lines of text floating and trembling as if hesitant in the face of what she had become.

But that wasn't all.
Below, like an extension of the screen, a strange glowing keyboard appeared. Suspended in the air, the keys floated gently, pulsating with the same light as the interface. Its design was elegant, almost mystical, as if each letter were engraved with a fragment of a star.

"Why… am I alive? And where am I?" she thought, incredulous.
Amane stared at the interface, stunned.
"I… I can write my own skills and their levels?"
She reached out, trembling. When her fingers touched the keys, a strange warmth ran through them. She took a deep breath, ignoring the pain in her chest, and typed gently:
→ [Fireball - Level 100]
She extended her arm and activated the skill. A massive, blazing red flame erupted, shattering the wall.
"Wow… this is insane. It's literally the ultimate cheat a player could have!" she thought, exhilarated.
She continued writing, adding abilities commonly seen in anime.
"When a skill turns red, it means it's still too powerful. I tried going back in time, but it doesn't work. Once I acquire a skill, I can rename it too. Levels can only go up to three digits for now, but this is amazing… I've become a half-god," she thought, serious yet calm.

Her "Divine Writer" skill advanced to Level 2. A new ability unlocked: "Divine Eyes."
"The more I write, the stronger my writer's power becomes…" she realized, surprised.

"This is incredible… I should avoid maxing my offensive skills for now, or I might destroy everything," she thought.
She clenched her fists, eyes gleaming. She was no longer an ordinary student, nor a simple "reject." Her power didn't come from a grimoire or blessing—it came from her will, her pain, her rage… transformed into words, into tangible abilities.
"Yukihira… I'll keep our promise. Thank you for being my childhood friend, for accepting me… I'll always hold a place for you in my heart."
A metallic sound echoed behind her. Steps. Claws.
She spun around. Three humanoid creatures with twisted limbs and blackened skin emerged from the shadows, drawn by the scent of blood.

She didn't have time to think. She grabbed a dagger that had fallen from an open chest. The weapon trembled in her hand, but her heart no longer quivered.
"If I can write my survival… then I'll do it. Over and over again."
