Thank you all for reading my novel and supporting me on this journey! Reaching the milestone of 50 chapters with over 400 followers is a dream come true, and I’m beyond grateful for every single one of you who has joined me along the way.

If you have a moment, I’d be thrilled if you could leave a review—it makes a huge difference and helps the novel grow, reaching more readers who might enjoy it too. And if you haven’t already, please consider following so you can stay updated as the story continues to unfold. Your feedback and encouragement mean the world to me!

As we’ve reached 50 chapters, I’ll be taking a short 3-4 day break to rest and recover, as I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather. During this time, I’ll also be focusing on my second novel, which I’m planning to release in late December. It’s a LitRPG isekai story, and I’m pouring all my creativity and effort into making it even better than my first. I hope you’ll check it out when it's ready!

For Veilbound Secrets, I’m aiming for it to span at least five volumes, and I’m happy with how the story is unfolding so far. That said, I know the pacing has been a little slow, so after my break, I’ll work on speeding things up to keep the excitement and momentum going.

I’m also planning to upload an auxiliary chapter soon, which will provide an in-depth explanation of the power system, along with a list of characters and their illustrations.

When I started this novel, it was meant to be my beginner project—just a way to explore storytelling and learn the craft. I never imagined it would receive this much support.

With my second novel, I’m taking all the lessons I’ve learned so far and putting even more thought and care into the process. It’s an exciting challenge, and I’m looking forward to seeing where both projects take me. Thank you for being such an amazing community and for sharing this adventure with me—I couldn’t have done it without you!

Preview for the 2nd Novel.

----------------------------------------

“Initializing System.”

The words echoed through my mind like a deep, thunderous voice. The world around me flickered like a broken TV screen, and then—

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“Welcome, Zane Lennox.”

I froze.

My eyes widened, heart skipping a beat. The voice echoed in my head, clear and unnervingly calm. I couldn’t move, couldn’t even breathe, I had just woken up to this, and my mind couldn't take all it at once.

“W-welcome, Zane Lennox.”

The voice flickered again, glitching out for a second before continuing. It sounded—wrong. Mechanical.

“You h-have b-been c-chosen. The Record-Binding S-system has b-been activated. P-please confirm your r-readiness to b-begin y-your journey.”

My mind short-circuited. My mouth went dry, and I tried to process what I was hearing, but it didn’t make any sense. What the hell was going on?

“Wait, what?” I was confused.

I stumbled, nearly tripping over my own feet, but the voice kept going, relentless.

“S-Syst-system Record F-fragment: 0/10”

I froze, the glitchy text hanging in the air before me like a mockery of logic.

“S-Skill T-t-tree: Unknown”

“P-power: L-Limited A-ccess”

“Mana: U-unavailable.”

I blinked rapidly, desperate to clear the fog in my mind, but the glowing text remained, casting an eerie light across the garden.

The voice softened, as if sensing my confusion.

“You must unlock the Record Fragments to gain full access to the system. Y-you are not of this world, but this world... needs you.”

A shiver ran down my spine.

“No... no way,” I gasped.

“I-it is real, Zane Lennox.”

The voice was firm now, no glitches, no hesitation.

“You are now a part of Myrithar. And your journey... begins now.”

And just like that, the menu glitched out from view, leaving me standing alone in the garden, trembling. The energy inside me pulsed, still fresh, still vibrating. I could feel the weight of it, the pull of it, drawing me forward, even though I had no idea what to do next.

“God... What the hell have I gotten myself into?”

A lot of things will be changed and edited to be better when released!
