((WAIT DON'T SKIP!!! READ THIS SMALL PART AT LEAST!!!))
Thanks to everyone who has read the story so far!
It doesn't matter if you've enjoyed it or not but I sure hope you did!
Feel free to express and give feedback as always.
And do rate the story if you have read this far.
You're either bored and frustrated about it...
Or just drooling to read the next chapter...
I'm just glad you're reading this.
I'm just glad you're here.
You've come this far with me, after all...!
**Sniffling noises as the author shed tears!**
Yeah, don't make me puke.
This will be the end of the Afrian continent chapters.
The story here is done! The fantasy continent's (Afria's) ((AFRICA XD)) troubles are settled FOR NOW.
The first soft cap ending before the 2nd season expansion content update, so to say?
**DUE TO SUPER INACTIVITY, THE PARTS BELOW ARE ALL BULLSHIT, READ AT YOUR OWN WASTE OF TIME**
DLC content such as side-stories/first-person snippets also will be released free soon too, lol.
EDIT 23-05-19:
I'm super foofing inactive with the story, so pledging on Patreon isn't recommended atm.
Either way, as said... This is a hobby, I'm not going to die or stop writing if I don't get paid.
Support would be nice but ye- NOOO! Don't cheese this out! Aah, I'm so bad at lying!
A man always confronts his problems head-on! A man never goes back on his words!
Yes, for I, am the lasting persona and image of the 'manly' protagonist in the ACL universe!
W-WAIT, I NEARLY DIED OF CRINGE THERE!!
JEEZ- AUTHOR!! STOP MAKING ME WRITE EMBARRASSING THINGS-
Wait- If I'm not 'the author'...
Then am I just 'the writer'!?
EXPOSED!!
That's right, I would love if you pledge at least 1$ dollar per month on Patreon!
Just voluntary support... Mwuhahahahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. (Not Indian Scam.)
If I reach a certain amount of dedicated supporters, then I'll waste more of my life's 'precious time' on writing! Ho Ho Ho!

MOVING ON...
We will now transition to a slightly different steampunk-ish feel.
Let us go over that stupid ocean and reach the shores of Demo.
Our hero is now a bit restricted in using magic since she doesn't want to stand out... Though there are exceptions...
Once again, the pretense of settling down alongside some 'slice of life cringe' will begin!
Until the edgy stuff happens, of course, as usual, basically, literally! Aah, kill me.
Now you can probably see that this story has no meaning or a real solid plot that ties it all up just yet.
I know that this might and is surely frustrating for some of you because it does the same to me.
I might end this piece before 100 chapters.
More 'non-canon DLC' chapters might come if I have more ideas to bullshit.
Soon I'll be writing the prequel 'ACE - A Century Earlier' which handles mainly about the 'Great War' against the demons.
FIRST-PERSON EDGY PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPRESSION MEMES, HELL YEAH!?
I might continue 'Project C' which is the contemporary world before our hero arrived in the magical world.
FIRST-PERSON JUDGEMENTAL FLASHBACK MEMES, OH NO!?
The preplanning processes are all being well-thought and will take surely take some time.
All the edgy scenes are in my head but nothing solid written down in a draft so anything can change as of NOW.
My friends are giving suggestions and I'm also listening to some readers!
Yup! Anything helpful is appreciated!
Thanks for reading!
Now go to the next chapter already, kiddo.
BELOW HERE IS JUST A SCAM RIGHT NOW DUE TO HOW INACTIVE I AM WITH THIS STORY LOL.
BUT FEEL FREE, AND DO SO QUICKLY--- SEND YOUR CHARACTER IDEAS I'LL ADD EM REAL FAST!
---------------- Consideration about adding other people's characters for this story and other ones ----------------
((Read all of this for information if you're extremely interested.))
Also the upcoming prequel to ACL! ACE; A Century Earlier.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
It will be handling more about the isekai and summoned hero aspect.
Serious... Psychological? FIRST-PERSON! Oh, mah Gawd!!!
The story goes on about the events pre and during the Great War against the demons.
((We will draft the episodes with your characters together first.))
Anyways, here's the catch.
You got a well-thought-through character who could fit in the pretense of a steampunk-fantasy setting?
Feel free to tell me about it. If it's worthwhile and coherent to the plot, and by means not overly out of bounds.
I might add it. Yeah. So to say... Most of my main characters come from my friends and their behaviors etc.
Few of 'em like Paladin King Alderius or Shober Priestess Mesa were kinda directly controlled by real people.
>Sir Wolfe and Blanche are also kinda directly controlled characters. 'Inner Conflict Arc' was also controlled.
The only purely fictional 'named' characters are Qatar, Luna, Xenthur, Ethairé, Iris... And... I think that's it...?
Otherwise, the other main characters are based on my friends and ppl I know IRL+Online!
Of course, their identities are used with their utmost anonymity and sincere permissions. **LOUD COUGH**
Jessica n John? OwO! SWEET HOME ALABAMA~ Ok no. XDD
So... Got a character you want in this shitty story? Welcome abroad, I'll fit you in somehow.
You'll have to write an essay-like character sheet though. (Na jk, just name, appearance & personality is ok).
Do note what role you want him/her/to perform in the story! Save the day? Sacrifice? Passerby? An Enemy Stand?
Examples:
- An airship captain (aligned or faction whatever) who will play quite the role during a certain air battle.
- An investigator that follows the traces of Vixella to end up finding out that she wasn't from the Demo continent.
- A worker in a restaurant that one of the main characters visit (and talk to them?).
- A random Strider pilot who was brave enough to protect one of the main characters from being shot down, sacrificing himself.
- A person who saw one of the main characters while chilling on their balcony apartment.
^ Passerbys like this one above can be developed or mentioned again later, perhaps even some solid interaction!
((AND DO HURRY! CAUSE THE STEAMPUNK CONTINENT WILL 'SOFT CAP END' AT 100TH OR SO EPISODES!))
For the other side stories such as Project C or ACE, those are self-explanatory.
Project C is set in a pre-sci-fi universe of our world, post WW3.
ACE is the same universe, and will only be handling about so-called 'overpowered magic and physical prowess'.
But everyone is overpowered since it's 'A Century Ago', so yeah...
ALL INFORMATION REGARDING THE OTHER STORIES I'LL CLEARLY EXPLAIN TO YOU IF YOU JUST ASK.
It can be anything.
Give it a shot! Wake up your creativity!
Let's see if you can join the Cool Kids Club, eh? (;
Maybe you'll dedicate yourself so much into making the character to the point that you could just write fanfiction about him/her/them using my universe!
Be sure to publish it on this website! Tell me if you want to!
I won't mind advertising your fanfiction work here! Hehe!
And if you feel like you want to join in but ain't a creative boi (no offense), feel free to ask for alternative means.
What I'm trying to say here is that you might be able to take control of a fictional or someone else's character.
Perhaps I can just make up a character including what they will do; play a role in the plot-- Aaah- Whatever...
And then you sir! You! Yes, you get to decide their speech, personality, etc. Sounds good...? Hell yeah!
So... Alright. Just send me a message if you're interested. Include your character or thoughts in a summary.
I'll try my best to stay happy and not ignore you! Unless it's like REALLY REALLY trash suggestion or character! OOF.
We can discuss this on discord or whatever if you deem this process a bit too menial or complicated for messaging on this website.
(Yup, send me a message if you're interested.)
STAY SAFE EVERYONE!!!
