Somewhere in the God Realm (Still Two Weeks Before the Present)
Silence draped the room as a fierce wave of killing intent boiled within . Calamity clenched his fists as he struggled to contain his anger . He shivered in agitation as his sharp eyes stabbed into the man standing before him .
"What did you just say?" He asked again, his tone icily cold .
The man gulped, struggling to maintain eye contact . "Th-The last we saw him, he was banished into the Corridor of Wandering Souls . "
Silence once more .
What was the Corridor of Wandering Souls? Why, it's the very place where Gods, Demigods, and other immortal beings are banished, forever forced to wander aimlessly . Alone . Only the Creator could free one from banishment . But even that is impossible because the Creator does not exist in their world to help nor care .
"Are you sure?"

"Y-yes . Calamitis was banished just as he touched the door leading to the System . We tried to stop him . . . " The man stopped talking, afraid to continue . In fact, he couldn't continue . He knew, deep down, that Calamity wouldn't accept the words "We tried our best" even if it was the honest truth .
Calamity sunk back into his chair .
"Get out of my sight . " He growled .
The man bowed before fleeing the room, scared out of his wits .
Calamity closed his eyes, sighing .
He wanted to scream . To shout . To curse and rage . But in the end, what would that get him? Nothing . All the raging and sorrow in the world couldn't give him his son back .

Back to Me
After pondering many of life's great mysteries, I finally decided to get my ass moving .
Maybe, with a stroke of luck, I could find someone to ask for help . And maybe a little bit of information .
After a bit of wondering, it was still dark and lonely as ever . But at least I made some progress .
Yippee me! It's a door!
I'm not even going to question why this door is the only thing emitting a white light inside this dark cave and honestly, at this point, I don't care .
To be honest, while I had been wandering around aimlessly, my mind had been spinning with questions and vague memories of "Every Cold Winter" . I especially thought about Calamitis .
During the Prologue of "Every Cold Winter" Calamitis had broken one of the System's Rules . Here are the rules as follows .
1 . Purposeful extinction of a species is prohibited .
2 . All spells are permitted for use .
3 . Exploration of the world and other galaxies are permitted .
4 . No one nor thing shall attempt to enter the System, only the Creator .
Yeah, those are just about it . Calamitis was then banished to the Corridor of Wandering Souls for all of eternity . Until, of course, chapter fifty-nine of "Every Cold Winter" where he finds a shining door and is tasked to be a teacher to gain back his freedom once he opens it . In the end, Calamitis agreed . As a continuation of his punishment, he was forced into the body of a cat .
Why a body of a cat? Just because I felt like being a little creative .
And why did I create the System?
Back then, I had been thinking about making a spin off of "Every Cold Winter" where a dude dies and transmigrates into my novel . He then wreaks havoc, breaking apart all of my plans for the Protagonists and the Antagonists and manages to save the new world .
But luckily I didn't write that because as I think about it, the idea sounds pretty bad . . .
So, in the end, the System ended up being the biggest plot hole in "Every Cold Winter" which had been ignored .
. . .
I just realized something really fishy . . .
Am I . . .
. . . Calamitis?
