CHAPTER NULL. An Exchange in Between Words

[⠀E X O R D I U M⠀]

This work is inspired by the manga and anime series "Black Clover," created by Yūki Tabata, as well as references from the game "Black Clover M: Rise of the Wizard King." Black Clover does not belong to me, except for the original characters and new plots introduced in this work. It is important to note that this creation is intended solely for entertainment and not for profit, commercial use, or any other purposes.

This work is currently serializing. This fan fiction adheres to the manga's plot for the most part, with variations in the length of certain volumes. If you notice any typographical errors, grammatical mistakes, or misused words, please feel free to point them out. I am open to corrections and will do my best to fix them as soon as possible.

English is not my native language, and I do not use it daily. I struggle to find the right words to describe feelings and scenes accurately. While most of my knowledge comes from the internet and other English works, I am still exploring the field of writing.

Many thanks to my friends and family for their support!

— With Love, Xierryne —

Auxiliary chapters pertain to the story settings, characters, plot summary, etc., related to this work. They help readers understand this work better and are optional to read. Auxiliary chapters also contain messages from the author and other information that cannot fit into the main story.

V O L U M E S

Volumes are divided according to story, event, and mission arcs related to the Black Clover franchise. Lowercase within volume chapters and the table of contents is intended.

C H A P T E R S

Chapters range from 3,000 to 7,000 words per chapter. Prelude, Prologue, Interlude, and other chapters range indefinitely. One chapter in the Black Clover manga and one episode in the Black Clover anime are divided into several chapters within this fan fiction.

C A P I T A L I Z A T I O N

Capitalization will be used throughout the story (minus foreign terms that are exclusive to the story). However, terms like "magic knights," "wizard king," and such, which are common within the Black Clover world, will not be capitalized.

L A N G U A G E S

This story uses a mixture of different versions of English, Greek, Latin, and Japanese for spells, terms, names, etc., since I'm not a native English speaker.

G L O S S A R Y

Foreign terms, complete character information, spells, etc., will be in a different book.

S L O W⠀B U R N

A slow burn is when the romantic attraction between characters builds slowly throughout the novel or series. However, within this story, this aspect applies only to the romantic interactions and attraction primarily from the protagonist. If you are not a fan of slow-burn stories, I suggest that you skip this book.

O O C⠀C H A R A C T E R S

OOC, or "Out of Character," means that most existing characters within the Black Clover story will likely behave differently than what fans might expect. Conversely, IC, or "In Character," means that characters act according to their established traits and behaviors.

The book "The Whisperer // Yuno Grinberryall" is or will be published on these platforms under the same pen name ("Xierryne"), unless stated otherwise. Any other works under the same name are not mine.
