Re:Periodic : Deceiving Life in Another World From Zero

Q/A?

This fanfic/ spin-off/ AU of Re:Zero might go on for a long time, but I think I got all the major parts of the story planned out.

Uh... so ... my readers that I hold in seriously high regards... any questions about the future of this series?

I will update this page when I get comments and stuff, so feel free to put them in the comments section or the little speech bubbles beside each paragraph... u will know what i mean if u used wattpad for a while...

Anyways. Let. The. Q/A. Begin!

Also feel free to ask absolutely anything about the story. Absolutely anything.

Oh by the way if you guys don't mind imma put the questions here in case anyone else had the same question. If this was somewhat obvious to you, I apologize for being a dumbass in the first place. Also did you guys know? We reached #3 on maleinsert! Absolutely insane.

This will split into two sections: Thing you might be wondering section and the questions asked section.

TYMBW (Things You Might Be Wondering) Section:

Q: How far will this story go?

A: I will write all the way until the last finished arc. So yes arc 5 and arc 6. If you think light novels / web novels are too boring you can look here for a change. But if ur a dedicated person, go read it at WitchCultTranslations. I've read Arc 5's web novel and parts of Arc 6 since it's really confusing. Arc 7 will be added when Teppei-san finishes writing. I mean, he said he's got 11 arcs planned, so let's wait for it, shall we?

Q: Love interests? Harem?

A: Harem? I mean for a nice story there's always a harem, but I'm having trouble deciding. I've decided on at least two people for now, and no royal candidates are involved for now, and our story does not break any canon ships so the choices are few, but look forward to juicy stuff!

Q: Powers? Authorities?

A: As many of you might know now, Y/N is has a fire affinity. However, his yang and yin spirits will allow him to use light and shadow magic (yang and yin). His first authority is the Authority of ???, another sin authority, which allows to control the elements from the periodic table. The Authority of ??? takes a 4-dimensional cube shape, a tesseract when it is a witch factor. Amazingly, it possesses the ability to copy, extract, and split other witch factors, which will be revealed in arc 4. Similar to Subaru (who hosts the witch factors of sloth and greed), Y/N will also be able to host multiple witch factors. A confirmed fact is that Y/N will currently never be able to host three authorities: envy, vainglory, and gluttony. At least not the full version of gluttony since I will never kill the cute Louis Arneb. 

Q: How often are chapter updates?

A:  We're still in summer break now, so I'm uploading a chapter every 2 days. But when school starts I will upload weekly. I'll tell u guys which days to expect the update :).

QUESTIONS ASKED SECTION: 

Q: Genuine question how many spirits will the MC have, and will alchemis have great spirit form like puck and the other great spirits

A: I was planning on three. For the people who have read the last chapter or the ones before, Alchemis is a Great Spirit with an attribute of fire. Cahya who was revealed in the last chapter is a yang spirit. There will be a third spirit that will appear in Arc 4 when Y/N enters the Sanctuary. The third spirit will be a yin spirit since I really, really like *cough* Al Shamac it's just kinda too cool. Although that Y/N cannot use Al Shamac until Arc 6 (Pleiades Watchtower Arc), it'll be something nice to look forward to. Also the spirits' corporeal form (like puck's) will be revealed later.

Q: Will there be romance?

A: Yes, definitely, but it will start a bit later when the plot deepens. Now as a nerdy highschooler, I do not possess enough knowledge to make it awesome, but I think I've read enough material (be it weird korean webcomics to ecchi anime/manga) to make something good out of it. Note: Felt will not be included in the (harem, if there ever is one), since Y/N will just be a nii-chan figure she looks up to and is affectionate towards. However, this leaves quite a small range of characters, and somehow during this my mind drifted towards the sin archbishops. So I'm not going to spoil my complete thoughts on the targets, but just keep in mind to expect something unexpected. 

Q: What happen if we say the word return by dead ,Will we be ok or envy will try to stop us from saying it And will there be a major change from the original timeline?

A: Now, envy (satella alternate personality) is a being who is obsessed with Subaru, so only in times when she really thinks that Y/N should step up his game in helping Subaru die less will she then appear. If Y/N ever spills the beans that Subaru can Return by Death, Y/N will be Al-Shamaced into an alternate dimension before returning after Subaru dies or updates his save point. After returning, his mana is sealed for two days before he could reuse it. If subaru enters a new loop during this penalty, it will be removed. If Y/N ever dies before Subaru in a loop, he will be transported into an isolated space to watch the events of the world unfold before Subaru dies. After Subaru dies, he returns to the place that he's at when Subaru restarts. Y/N dying before Subaru only has two appearances in my planning, and Y/N might never say Return by Death since he won't attract mabeasts or gain anything from it. Instead, he might use it to temporarily escape a strong enemy if he doesn't want to feel the pain, but as he doesn't know the effects of the ability, he might just never use it. It will not affect the events of a timeline, but might cause some unprecedented small changes in the future.

Q:  Will mc have to kill?

A: Subaru currently has not killed anyone directly, with the exception of Betelgeuse. Mc might have to kill someone, but it might just be nameless members of the witch's cult. SPOILER ALERT IF U HAVENT READ LIGHT NOVEL/WEB NOVEL. Sloth dies to Subaru. Reinhard forced Regulus to drown. Wrath is mentally broken. Lust escaped in the battle in arc 5 but I plan on her fill a different role in this fanfic. Lye (Gluttony Eldest) died to Ram in Arc 6. Roy (Gluttony second) had his soul shattered after stuff in arc 6. Louis will be reformed by mc. The closest thing that I could imagine the mc doing to killing someone is probably later when he does something interesting in arc 5. It does not kill anyone, but he does manage to 'break the soul' of an archbishop, and leaving them in a similar state to how Rem was after Lye ate her name and memories. (He does not do that with the Authority of Gluttony).
