Hello, everyone. It's... been a while.

First of all, I want to apologize for absconding without a word. Due the plagiarism fiasco and various other things and obligations at that time which I shall not delve into, I had lost most--if not all--of my motivation to continue and thus decided to quietly withdraw myself. For that, I am sorry.

Secondly, as a few of you may have noticed, I did indeed return to writing for the past few months. I didn't know where it was going to lead, so I opted to refrain from uploading here in order to see if I would continue or not.

Frankly speaking, writing and uploading again was always on the back of my mind, but was never my intentions. My intentions were to simply continue writing the story for myself whenever I could, even if I was never going to upload it--as I had done in my early days when I first started.

Yet upon seeing that there were still two very devoted individuals waiting for me as I went to close down my patreon, I decided to upload the few chapters that I had written for them as thanks. Turns out, a few others caught onto that.

To see that there were still readers who were waiting even after all this time, I knew I had to upload whatever was written, and to continue.

So for those who were waiting patiently, I thank you all for igniting this drive within me once more.

With that said, I would liket to bring us to the purpose of this post.

Like I said, I had refrained from posting here due to my own reasons. But over these past few months, I've begun to lean further and further toward a specific decision. And ultimately, the conclusion is that I have decided to halt all posting on RR.

To all the readers, thank you all for partaking in my humble adventure and for your support which drove me to continue. To the admins of RR, thank you all for allowing me this platform to share my story.

I am truly ashamed for having done what I did and what I am doing, but I hope that you can all forgive me for my selfishness.

It's been four great years(5 minus the 1) with you all here, and I hope each and everyone of you continue to stay safe in these troubled times, and continue to support one another.

As always, thank you for reading.
