Good afternoon. I have an important update.

Firstly, sorry for the chapter delay. Yesterday, I had an almost day-long power outage, which delayed my school work and the chapter. But I think I'll be making it up with these two chapters.

Secondly, I've made the decision to release two chapters as a way to show my appreciation for your patience and understanding. The reason for this is that I need to take my break earlier. I've considered your reading experience, and ending on Ch. 205 would have been a massive tease and a less-than-ideal way to leave things. So, I've decided to also drop Ch. 206, a much better stopping point for the time being. I'll also be sure to deliver a chapter to the Grandmaster+ tiers in the near future before the end of my break.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Thirdly and most importantly, I am starting my end-of-volume break...well earlier than the end of the volume. To put it simply, I am in the final two weeks of my bachelor's, and I need to get the work done and do it right. So, I'll be taking the entire month of May off.

This gives me two weeks to finish school, another week to handle some other miscellaneous business and my graduation. And then a week to actually go on vacation and take a breather. This is the longest break I've taken from writing, but it just needs to happen. School comes first for now...and damn, am I ready for it to be over.

Anyway, since school will be over, I'll be returning to Monday posts, and I will be back to our regularly scheduled posts on June 3rd, 10 Am PST.

I'll see you all soon :)
