Interesting stuff. I’ve only read some of the original, but this seems like a very well-written reboot. Shame it’s dead, but that’s okay. No one can force you write, you do it because you want to. No matter what you’re doing now, keep moving forward, okay?

This story is brilliant, it hasnt been updated in a while though... Are you planning to continue it?

did you kill the story or is just in hiatus?

Abandoned?

ummm, update ?, are you neglecting this story if you discontinued it or put it on hiatus can you please clarify ?

I can't get enough! Where are you man! I need you as much as Metis needs Aigis to survive.

Ahaha! I'm loving this version of Aegis! She's just so spirited and makes Death cry! Seriously funny stuff. Hopefully she can keep Minato from angsting too much.

For better or worse, I generally have problems acting as someone other than myself. I didn't see the point when I was younger and the chances of developing those skills now are really low. I'm content with the few friends I make, and I tend to just ignore anyone/thing I don't like.

Thanks for the chapter!

Solid chapter! Uh, I don't have much in the way of criticism atm (or at all, at least not anything that I caught in particular) so... All I have to say is 'great chapter' tbh!

I have to say that I was way too tickled by the boxing, Sho's puns and the fisting puns. I loved them. Also, seeing Aigis being upbeat for it was very entertaining. I think other people have pointed it out, but it's unusual to see her portrayed as such. It's very intriguing. :D

Anyways! I'm going to sound very, VERY pretentious and I apologise. So much. But your question really intrigued me.

For the question, I'd say that it's hard for me to 'somebody I'm not' in the first place. In the end, the 'somebody' that we are at one moment is just another facet of our personalities which isn't all sequestered from other facets.
But then I'd have to ask whether we really have 'personalities' so much as 'I' am a culmination of impressions that can be perceived to form 'personality'. So, the 'somebody I'm not' is just another subjective observation of something 'I'm' trying to make.
...So to answer the question more directly: I'm not being 'somebody I'm not' when I'm trying to make a friend. But it's definitely more tiring keeping up different facets of 'personality' which I'm not used to!

ANYWAYS RAMBLING ASIDE: Thanks for the entertaining read! Keep it up!

Question, has Minato regained access to the Velvet Room already?

(No matter how much your borrow) No matter how much you borrow

Answer of the day: Yes. It was tiring.

Uhmmm i dont like too much until now... I like the idea and i liked how it more or less everything when in the original until Minato ended in Strega and Mitsuru ended... well, you know. After the incident with Magician i stoped of reading that fic.

The small changes snuck into this extended prologue part lay the groundwork for quite a few interesting factors once the main story begins. Most notably, the very upbeat girl that Aigis has become (a surprisingly rare occurence now that I think about it). It even excludes the 'oh, look, a useless character' warning signs that accompany such large changes, so good on you! With the main plot beginning soon, I look forwards to more.

Woot! Setup completed! Quite a few changes already fleshed out so far, and I'm looking forward to how it develops. And you already hit Minato with a lot of hard questions...which should serve him well even if it only gets harder from here!

I don't exactly run away from regret...I try to take responsibility for my actions (who says you can't learn something from video games). That being said, while I don't technically run away I do tend to shut down/dampen my reactions if things go sideways. Mostly used to get through awkward conversations with my parents. I can't say I've ever screwed up big enough to warrant outright running away though...

Thanks for the chapter!

Forgot to say! Yes, I'm following the rewrite. I'm glad that you're doing it, actually (though I'm personally not one for harem pairings :L)! It reads and feels a lot smoother than the previous one, and I'm glad that the chapters are bite-sized enough for me to keep my attention span focused on this (because I have to agree, the first chapter was a little excessive in its word length, yeesh!). So yeah, I'm waiting to see where this goes!

I like the changes to Minato's character, actually! The childish Minato in the preceding chapters actually makes a lot of sense, and I was actually happy to run along with it, especially since it caused so many freaking problems already! That, and it was very convincing, his portrayal as a child, with his simplistic and black and white moral views. And! It was endlessly intriguing, especially when I was reading on Minato reigniting the forge. Like, I just want to give the guy a hug. So basically... I love Minato as a protagonist, because his flaws were made so much more apparent earlier on, and these flaws cause him to make bad choices, but be more relate-able at the same time. I admire it, because I don't have a lot of courage when it comes to people making mistakes in my own writing. So yeah. Kudos.

Not forgetting Labrys, Mitsuru and Sho. I like the portrayal of Labrys as an older sister figure to Minato (though I guess that'll be changing later on DX), and of Mitsuru's hidden childish nature. Not that the latter thing is anything new, but I'll still love reading about it anyways. It's interesting to me that you brought in Sho so early on, but hey, I like it, and I admire the detail spent into tying him into the story.

Also props to Ikutsuki. Again, the Devil Link that Minato had with Ikutsuki in the original fic was one that intrigued me, because I felt like you had such a solid grip on Ikutsuki's character, and I feel the same way about his portrayal in the earlier chapters too. So! More! Ikutsuki! Social linking! Please! Basically. XD

Anyways! To answer the question for this chapter? Uh, I don't think I can pinpoint a time which I've done that. Most of the time I run away from problems because they scare me-not because I regret them.

Enough babbling from me; keep it up! Loving it so far.

PS: Love the chapter name for this one. :P

Answer of the Chapter: Nope. I brood about it for a while, realize that there's nothing I could do about it now, shove it into the back of my mind and move on with my life. Eventually, I'll forget about it.
