;,-) Thianks for the chance.
Still no idea, even how the solution comes. And there were some thoughts of mine that completely got off of the course of what the solution turns out. I thought:
By "All you need is to know the English alphabet", it meant there would be no numbers included in the solution.
By this coomment, I assumed there was only one 5-character string.
By line 16, "Text here or line twelve has no import.", I thought it meant there would be no 'x' or 'd'(exactly lowercase), etc., as they are of the text on the two lines.

I noticed every line has 25 letters when excluding the words referring to numbers, though, which I thought should be "the same length". Then I got lost in arranging the four recursive number loops with the number 25, as in the picture of my notepad below. They could somehow make sense, but apparently they were still too simple.

Then you were almost there. 25 letters + 1 is the alphabet, the number serves as a marker of the right spot.

Ohh I got it! Awesome illustration. I had a similar flash, but it was too complicated for me to sort it out or put it down in any actual way. This is absolutely brilliant of you all. And thanks for the effort!

And how did you get here, if you couldn't solve the puzzle?

On the last day when there were few hours left, in order to reach at least five entries for each GA, the OP edited the dicussion and directly revealed the code (it had been removed by re-editing) for those who were at least still trying. I took that advantage. (。・ω・。)
They kinda talked about it in this comment too. You may go look at it if interested.
