Unfortunately, there will be no new chapter this Thursday. I've had a little less time than usual lately and haven't managed to finish the second chapter for this week. There will probably be a slowdown in chapter releases for the next month or so, and for now, I will be releasing one chapter per week. Once again, this is just a slowdown due to lack of time, not an abandonment of the novel. I intend to finish this story no matter what. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you will stay with me.
