Nightmares descend, and the entire world is forced into an infinite survival game.
Before the game began, Fang Qian, a homebody who had been coasting through life for ages, nervously drew her starting ability card:
[Congratulations, dear player! Your starting ability card has been unlocked!
You have successfully bound the ability: “Style Detector”!]
[Card Name: Style Detector

[Card Description:]

Fang Qian: ...o.0?
A flopping fish, utterly baffled.jpg
Can someone tell her what these ■■ unknowns mean?!
After going through several rounds of the game, Fang Qian finally understood:
Become the character with the highest style score on the field [X]
Become the player who acts the coolest and has the most swagger in the game [√]
So “style” means swagger... (pensive)
Fang Qian: Got it.
From then on, she’d swagger like the wind, and it would never leave her side!
No matter how weak you are, just act like you’re strong!

About style scores: (Excerpted from an online encyclopedia)
Style score is a playful term used for characters in works across the ACG spectrum, usually poking fun at heroes and villains who strike dramatic poses and shout chuunibyou lines. It is said to have originated with Bleach. Generally speaking, in a battle between good and evil, whoever keeps up the act to the very end wins. So people often quantify the two sides’ attempts to outdo each other’s style. Some actions raise a character’s style score, while others lower it. By the end of the fight, the difference in their style scores can have a major impact on who wins.
Theme: Power resides in the human heart. Believe, and it exists; don’t believe, and it doesn’t
