I really don't like posting these non-chapters, but in this case, I found it unavoidable. I have some news I need to share with everyone, as it impacts my ability to write my two stories, World Seed and World Keeper. Now, I want to start off by saying that I still have no intention of dropping either story, so please pay attention until the end. Author-sama thanks you in advance.

The financial situation has deteriorated further than I had feared, and a lot of luxuries are no longer affordable. Due to some medical reasons, I had avoided getting a job until now, but it seems like this is not an option anymore. I'm going to have to start looking for one soon, and that means I won't have as much time to write anymore. I thank everyone that has read my stories until this point, and hope that you can all be patient and supportive in the future.

I'll do my best to continue writing whenever I have the time and mood, but after getting this news my mood is pretty much ruined for right now...
