Hello readers,
It has been quite some time since I have touched Re: Demon. I have finally graduated, and the stress I had, even while writing, has almost completely left me. Today, I was planning on writing the new chapter of Re: Demon for Monday, but another idea came into my head. I thought and thought, and realized how... shallow Re: Demon really is. Sure, it's interesting, a reincarnation story where the main character is truly a monster, but I realized something. I had the beginning and the end all completed story-wise, but what I lacked was a middle. I had a few events planned here and there, but taking some time to think about it, the Re: Demon world isn't as flexible as I would like it to be. It was a shallow idea built upon inspiration from many, many other reincarnation novels and manga. However, every time I received a comment, every time someone followed, I was filled with joy. I love the community, but the story is something that I would need to remake if I were to continue.
I have another story idea, something much more flexible and something that I believe y'all would like even more. I'll give the basic story premise, go a bit more in-depth, and then have some light spoiler events at the end (it will be covered with a spoiler tag, don't worry. Only for those who like spoilers).
Basic premise: 26 year-old programmer gets reincarnated into another world as a child. He's not afraid to show off his power, and uses it to carve his place into this world. In this world, special individuals have, in addition to known spells and skills, their own unique abilities. An academy was created to help the children learn their abilities and to turn them into either great sages, or great mages for the kingdom. The MC's power: programming. He can copy any ability, even unique ones to some degree. However, as he leisurely lives in the school, unknown to him, he is being targeted by the goddess of this world.

Story explanation: A 26 year-old hobbyist programmer accidentally creates a "perfect" artificial intelligence while messing around with an idea. He shares this with the world, and garners huge amount of fame because of it. However, while one day working on the AI, he is killed by an extremist. He gets thrust into a fantasy world, his dream, but as a child. He begins to show extreme magical talent, being able to use spells even chantlessly. What he is actually doing is programming the spells like he would a script. He is then sent to a specialized academy for unique ability users, where he learns more about the world and enjoys life in the academy, especially since he had a horrible school experienced in his past life. However, while living leisurely in the academy, he is targeted by the goddess. He is a Glitch. He shouldn't be in the system, and he must be eliminated. His existance has caused a time paradox, and the goddess must correct this. She sends a disciple after him, intent on killing him once and forever.

Please carefully consider before making your decision. I am much more avid about this new story than I am about Re: Demon. Apologies that I am not "perfect and devoted writer". I am human, and I grow. I looked back and realized that I could do better than Re: Demon. Thank you all for reading, and have a great day.
