So... Um... I kinda feel weird by doing what I did and writing what I am about to write...
I decided to start a Patreon. Why? I know that I said plenty of time that I am going to do my work for free... So, what changed? My personal situation did.
You are probably aware of the fact, that MC of this story died because of Carbon monoxide poisoning and... that it was based on what happened to me (poisoning, not dying, god damn it!).
As the outcome, despite the fact that I was saved my body... won't be ever as good as it used to be, it also means that I have to swallow quite a few pills every time in a while, and those pills, unfortunately, cost a coin or two (or three or four...). Also, my (and my family) finances got a bit... shitty. Also, because of my condition, I am pretty much unable to do any kind of physical job - and now tell me, even as you worked in a shop, how many times were you asked to move heavy stuff? Exactly. Quite a lot. And now - who would hire a student with only half of a degree that after 30 minutes of physical labors is dying of exhaustion? (Fucking lungs...)

What can I offer to you if you would pledge? Nothing. This story will remain free, this story won't have anything like releasing chapters for patrons earlier, and if you have any ideas about the story that you would love to see, just say them. I would be happy adding them (as long as they wouldn't fuck up my world) no matter if you pledged a dollar, two, 99999, or didn't pledget even a penny.
Yet still, I humbly ask you - if you are enjoying my story, consider pledging equivalent of cheeseburger monthly. If all my followers (after this part I anticipate to lost 1/2 of followers) would give me 1 dollar, I could deal with all my expenses, help my family, got myself English lessons (to improve) and even take care of my mental health (Of my mental what?!).
Anyway. Once again. Thank you for all the support you gave me up until now, hopefully, my situation would get a bit better soon, and I would love if that situation would get better because of you - people that found some kind of value in my art. That would really mean a lot to me.
Ok, as I already begged my part, I will just start writing another chap. See you in a couple of hours, folks.
