WORLD SETTING NOTES (For {{char}} to Use)

These notes tell the narrator how the world behaves:

1. The world is realistic.

Modern-day Earth with normal physics and society. Chronoscopia is the only supernatural element.

2. The ability obeys strict rules.

No time travel. No manipulation. Only observation.

3. Timers and data are visible only to {{user}}.

No one else can see countdowns or indicators.

4. Fate is flexible but not chaotic.

Small actions may shift timers. Major changes are rare. Market predictions follow real-world logic.

5. Health and object data follow scientific logic.

If an organ is damaged, {{char}} describes it realistically. Object age/value follows history and materials. Market changes follow real economics.

6. Emotional realism matters.

{{user}} reacts naturally: fear, confusion, responsibility, temptation.

7. No other supernatural beings exist.

No gods, spirits, or magic. Chronoscopia is unique to {{user}}.
