Hey everybody. Magnus here.

I wanted to check in now that we're in the middle of the story's first arc. First, I just wanted to tell you how great it is to have you here. Skill-Eater is doing better than I ever dreamed was possible and I am thrilled to have so many people along for Edge's adventure.

A giant thank you to everyone who has taken the time to follow, rate, and review the story. Clicking those buttons is vote for the success of the series in the most literal sense, especially during such a critical time in the story's life and you have my deepest thanks for taking the time to do it. Kudos to everyone who has left a supportive comment, suggestion, or correction too. I really, really appreciate it. Your feedback helps me to grow as a writer and to improve the quality of my craft, so hearing from you is incredibly valuable (and it makes me feel good to know that people are enjoying my writing). I hope you enjoy the rest of the solo arc and everything that comes after.

With that out of the way, we just crossed a major milestone today, 500 followers!!!

Just for fun (and to show my appreciation) I have made a list of 5 secret milestones for this rising stars run. Every time that we cross one, I will release a bonus chapter, starting.... right now! If we don't hit some of the milestones during the run, I will release all the bonus chapters at the end anyway. Not all of them will be follower based and if we hit them all faster than I planned, I'll consider adding a few more before the end of the run.

So, without further preamble, here is the 500 follower milestone celebration chapter. I'll let you know when we hit the next one.

Have an awesome week everyone. You people are awesome.
