Hello everyone! After the outpouring of encouragement, kindness, and advice I received last chapter, I've decided to open up a Patreon. A lot of you managed to get through my thick skull that I already AM offering content, and I should let people support me for the things I'm already giving. So that's what I've decided to do, even if it is a little stressful.

Right now, there are three tiers: $1, $5, and $10. It is currently set up to charge you on the day you join membership, and then monthly on that same date. If you would like to suggest other tiers, let me know. Currently, you can read two chapters in advance if you are at least at the $5 tier. $1 tier is just for those who want to support but don't have much to give, which is completely understandable. Every little bit helps! The $10 tier doesn't offer anything extra as of yet, but is there for those who can afford to be generous. Make sure to take care of yourself first, though!

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Thank you for everyone encouraging me with both the story and to make a Patreon. I really appreciate it, and I can't wait to continue the story. No news on next chapter's release date quite yet, sadly, but it's coming along nicely. Other than that, I've been a little busy cleaning some details. Chapter 20 is getting an added paragraph or two of explanations just to help clear some things up, and Chapter 19 is getting a small dialogue rework to better frame Mai's decision to not wait on remanifesting Selene. Finally, Chapter 16 is getting an added paragraph about the "codes" needed to deactivate a shelter's emergency shield to clarify why it isn't possibly for Error to simply give them to Mai. These changes aren't in effect yet but will be noted on next chapter's Patch Notes.

That about sums up everything I'm working on right now. Once again, thank you for supporting me so far, and I hope everyone has a great (and spooky) day!
