First off, a special shoutout to Zariel Nvos—I saw your comment on my last announcement: "Bro Died." ???? Well, I guess I’ve been resurrected, though it took longer than expected.

  So, what happened? After my last post, I actually did recover from being sick in about a week. Great news, right? Yeah, except instead of jumping back into writing like a responsible author… I fell into the abyss of procrastination. And just when I thought, "Okay, now I'll actually write," my semester-end exams decided to show up like a final boss fight I didn’t prepare for. Long story short—I didn’t upload anything.

  But that’s not all. When I finally sat down to reread my own story again, I realized… I had made a lot of mistakes. Some loopholes, inconsistencies, and a few comments pointing out flaws that, honestly, I couldn’t even argue with. It made me rethink the novel entirely, and after much deliberation (and internal screaming), I decided: I'm going to rewrite it.

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Now, here’s the good news! The rewritten version will launch in mid-March. I want to make sure the story is better, more polished, and something that you all will enjoy even more.

  ??

  I know I’ve made you guys wait for way too long, and I really appreciate everyone who’s still here. Please be patient just a little longer and continue supporting the novel! Your encouragement means a lot, and I promise I won’t disappear into the void again. (Probably.)

  See you all soon with the revamped version! ??
