I can't stay motivated to write this at the current time. My life is currently really busy, and will be for a while. So, I'm dropping Immortal Shards for now. However, I will be writing another,somewhat easier to write story, and it will be updated as I can. I will return to immortal shards once i've progressed enough in that new work and my life is much less hectic.When Immortal Shards returns, i'll finish up the childhood arc and the world will finally find out what the fuck is up with those weird sealed places with the timers.I'm very sorry to bring bad news, and I'll make sure that Immortal Shards is a much better piece of work than it currently is when it returns. Also, it'll finally have a damn cover. I'll say that my new fic is in the same setting as Immortal Shards, and you'll see some current and future IS characters,though it's also set in a lot of other settings. It will somewhat use the same system of cultivation as Immortal Shards, but it'll also use a lot of other types of powers and abilities and cultivation systems, as the MC will be a dimension hopper of sorts. Those of you who actually read this, look for it, and get hyped please. The first few chapters of the new work should be coming very soon, so keep an eye out for a new fic by yours truly. Bookdragon out.
