Core Story Setup
The Pen of Rewriting
A mysterious pen that allows the user to rewrite fate by altering a specific date in a person's life. It does not kill instantly like the Death Note—it changes the events leading up to that date, altering history itself.
Rules of the pen:
1. The full name of the person must be written.
2. A specific date must be mentioned—past or future.
3. Once written, the event leading to that date will change, ensuring the user's desired outcome.
4. The user can only see the first rewritten change in their mind but will never know the full ripple effect.
5. Only one person can possess the pen at a time.
