Hey everyone!

  If you are a new reader, thanks for giving this story a chance. For the readers who have been following and realized that I deleted all old chapters, that's because I've been working hard and rewrote many things that didn't work structurally for the story. I needed some time to take a step back from the narrative and about a month ago started heavy rewrites that pertained to the LitRPG System I had in place for the book. In the last two years, I finished my bachelor's, got accepted into an MFA program for Creative Writing, and grew in my craft exponentially as a writer. I feel that with my knowledge and skills, I can finally tell the story I intended to share when I started this journey two years ago.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  For those who have stuck around, I am so, so, grateful. And those who are reading the story for the first time, I am very glad you're here. The Royal Road community is one of my favorite places and I am happy to be writing on this platform, once again. This story will be solely self-edited, so If you see any glaring errors, don't be shy to point them out. I plan to post chapters for the next few days until I get caught up with my backlog, after which point, I'll post one chapter every Friday. I don't want to overload myself, especially when I start my MFA program this upcoming August; plus all my other responsibilities. However, I have the first and second books outlined, so I know the direction I want to take the story.

  Again, thank you for reading!
