Hey guys. How's it going? You good? Depressed, maybe? You picked up serial killing as a hobby?

Excellent.

So I wanted to give you guys a bit of a heads up just in case someone messages me asking if the fiction is dead. No. It isn't. Exams are actually coming up in about seven days, and I'm being brutally pelted and sexually assaulted by multiple school works and projects. I'll be dead for the next ten days, but after that, I should be back healthy. All nice and lathered in vegetable oil. Just for you. Ahem.

Aside from that, yay! I hit my Patreon goal extremely soon--a lot sooner than I expected, so I won't be able to deliver on that next stage reward tier until next month. As a band aid on the sore spot I left, I released a oneshot that I promised for free. You guys can give it a read right here:

If you guys like the concept, I might even make it into its own separate fiction. It would be my alternative if burnout or writer's block for Necromancer and Co. ever sets in, which I'm surprised has left me alone for the better part of the eight months I've been writing this fiction. Anyway, thanks for reading, and enjoy!
