Hey everyone,

  I apologize for the long absence on this story. First of all, I want to assure you that this announcement is not about a hiatus. To be clear, Re:Birth is not going on hiatus.

  However, I do need a breather.

  To be honest with you, I haven't been writing anything for weeks now, and even the Xianxia story I am currently updating is essentially running on backlogs.

  With the PC incident, I lost about 75k words worth of backlog on this story and could recover only about seven of the drafts on iCloud. I tried to rewrite what I lost, but man, it took me so much time and effort to do it the first time...

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  So I managed to rewrite four clean chapters, but with my real-life job and other responsibilities, I am nearing burnout.

  This writing thing started as a hobby, and although I would love to make it a full-time job, it's just not there yet. As such, I cannot spend too much time on it, especially when I am utterly exhausted every time I come back from work.

  So, I have decided to relax a bit, cool my head off, and write again whenever I don't feel so much fatigue.

  As I mentioned before, I am rewriting the beginning of the story and redirecting it to a better path that I hope you'll enjoy. I will be uploading the four chapters I managed to rewrite from Monday to Thursday. After that, I will take about three weeks to build a reasonable backlog and get back to the normal release schedule.

  I hope you understand. The next chapter will be out on Monday, I promise. Thank you, everyone, and have a great day.

  Ace
