Essence of DETERMINATION

- You gain DETERMINATION. As long as you are determined to do something, you are more like a force of reality given shape and form.

- You receive control over time, sorta like if you were in a video game. Allowing you to make SAVE points, RESET time completely, and maybe even PAUSE time.

- As your EXP increases and LOVE rises, your rampant bloodlust will allow you to kill anything if you are DETERMINED to do it. It also makes you much harder to put down.

- You can never die if you stay DETERMINED, you would instead choose a SAVE point to go back to and try, try, try, try, try again or give up and RESET the timeline.

XP:

- What's EXP? It's an acronym. It stands for "execution points." A way of quantifying the pain you have inflicted on others. When you kill someone, your EXP increases.

- EXP (EXecution Points) are gained by killing monsters. When the protagonist accumulates enough EXP, their LV increases.

LOVE:

- When you have enough EXP, your LOVE increases. LOVE, too, is an acronym. It stands for "Level of Violence." A way of measuring someone's capacity to hurt. The more you kill, the easier it becomes to distance yourself. The more you distance yourself, the less you will hurt. The more easily you can bring yourself to hurt others.

- LV or LOVE (Level of Violence) increases HP and AT when it rises, and some levels also increase DF.
