    Ah, I forgot that I am part of this thread. Surprised I am. Well, the "It's all about you" theme is quite interesting for a change. I mean, it's a pretty big challenge for me.

    You sure you can't do it? Seems to me that you're pretty good at writing.

    I mean in that form. I have written in 1st POV and 3rd POV. But in 2nd POV? Now that's something new.

    Hey, you can always try. Not like trying something new for once will kill you.
    How about you start off slow?

    If it is decided, that's what I'm gonna do. Probably just one scene first. And then another. And another. Yeah, take it slow and easy.

    So could I submit the next month story's idea? : "Plot Abuse Overload": You know that no matter what you do, you won't change a thing...so why not abuse that? Why not abusing to the point of breaking it?

    Reaper's Laments - Inspired by Kuroshitsuji where reapers were people who suicided in the past, what would they feel taking away lives of those desperate to live

    Smiles flower - A flower which blooms when its surrounding is happy and wilts when its sad. A sad story of someone whose life turns worse / sadder as they try hard to grown this Smiles Flower (courtesy of @ExitedDeviljho )

    Someone whose so twisted (?) they end up helping people
    A person who wants people to be dependent on him ends up a doctor in a warzone
    A person who wants to be treated as god ends up giving charity to a very poor place

    So....kiddo who always tries his best to smile amidst the whole dark fate he has to endure? A story of how he keeps his heart from breaking apart while enduring the harsh environment around him?

    Can I make that story, I wonder? About how his heart is on the brink of breaking over being betrayed and and seeing the bad of the world? Hmm...I'm not much of a tragedy writer. LOL~!

    NP Montage: Be it at the end of an intense training, pure desperation, or coincidence - Be it historical or fictional, describe the moment where the protag pulled out their Noble Phantasm - All they're in life condense into this one moment, this one move, this one invention, etc... This one special move that mark who they are.
