Hmm, so, obviously, this is not a chapter.

First, I want to say that Book 2 is being written as we speak and I'm having a lot of fun writing it. It'll be out in two to three days!

Second, well, I'd like to take a moment to thank you all for reading this far. Y'all are awesome.

Third, I've taken into account the feedback I've gotten, and Book 2 moves a lot faster. It's gonna be a wild ride, bigger, better and faster in every manner of speaking. Frequency of updates is also something I've been working on.

Now, for the requests, hrm. If you've reached the completion of this book, leaving a review on my fiction page would help, like a lot. Or, you could just upvote reviews you agree with, giving them more limelight and drawing readers to the story.

Now, in the brief downtime, if you want to read something that I've written, you can check out a story that's both ongoing and bingable, albeit in a completely different genre:

The Legendary Fool, by Daoist Enigma

Synopsis: Thomas Lowe was destined for a life of mediocrity as he worked a dead-end job in rural america. But fate seemed to have other plans for him.

One card changed everything. A power beyond imagination. A prophecy that put him in the crosshairs of Ancient Clans and Noble Houses that have existed since the dawn of the first era.

The name of that card was....

[Card Name: The Fool]

[Rank: Ephemeral]

The Link will be in the author notes below

Now, for the fun part.

I'm hosting an AMA in the comments, so feel free to ask me almost anything in the comments, and I'll strive to answer as long as its not spoilers or future story stuff.

As for the Afterword, if you missed it in the last chapter:

A story is many things. Some believe it to be the sum of its parts, searching for the underlying formula that drives its mechanics. Perhaps they are not wrong. Others considers stories a form of expression, a way of sharing both the burdens of their heart and the joy of life through their writing. They are also not wrong.

For me, a story is simply a tale. A tale that each one carries with us, writing it with the choices we make in our lives. Each day, each moment, we live a page of our stories, we laugh, we cry, we scream, we joy, we sorrow, we dance and most of all, we live.

This was one of the stories I carry in my heart.

It was a pleasure to share it with you and I hope you will join me in the journey ahead.

Yours,

Daoist Enigma
