Thank you all for reading this far! I am overwhelmed by how well the book has been received thus far. Originally chapter 160 was the last chapter I wrote before becoming contracted. That being said, everything from here on out is never seen before content!!! So, to all you returning readers I am truly glad for your continued support and now you won't have to wait any longer for the story to continue. It took far to long for me to get caught up with the editing, (sigh).

Also, since these are newer chapters, please point out my errors, inconsistencies, and odd sentences if you come across any. These chapters will not have undergone the same editing steps as the older chapters. Please forgive me for my blunders and the ones that I have still missed. If you do wish to point them out, doing so in a paragraph comment would be best. When fixing the marked errors, those paragraph comments can be removed, while chapter comments I am unable to do so. But don't stop that from leaving chapter comments! I love reading what you all are saying.

Additionally, I have been averaging 2,000 words per chapter and this amount may drop to 1,800 words average due to time constraints of me working full time. This also means my chapter publishing rate may decrease, but my goal will be to never go below three chapters a week. This has been one of the most fun hobbies I have ever done and I hope to continue doing so for a long time. On the bright side, the chapter will become cheaper to buy in return!

There is still a lot of content left to cover in this story and I have, in my head, figured out what is to come in the next 150 chapters or so. Trust me, there is lots of Action, Mechs, and Monsters to come. As for Romance, please keep waiting. I had decided to have a bit of romance added into Lisa's backstory chapters, of which I plan on being 20 or likely more uninterrupted chapters. This backstory segment will bring about the revelation of a particular character that will influence the story greatly and reveal how Lisa became a cyborg, but I'll shut up and refrain from spoiler! This also won't be the only mention of Romance either, other characters will have fuzzy feelings too! This is all I can say without spoilers, again.

Some of you may have been wondering, "When does all this black-market stuff come into the story? You have hardly done anything related to the title, Author."

Please be patient, I have been sprinkling clues as to what Lisa will be doing in the black market and how it plays into a more major role in the storyline. There are a lot of black-market stuff in the town that I have not yet mentioned in the story either. I will also be increasing the sci-fi aspect a bit more in future chapters, so be ready for some big words and tech! Again, that is all I can say without giving spoilers, geez this is hard!

Thank you all for your support up to this point! Please keep those VOTES and COMMENTS coming!

Lastly, if there is something you think will happen in the story, let me know in the comments below on this chapter! I want to hear more from you guys! Who knows, maybe your idea will be incorporated into the story?!

Thank you all again!
