GOOD EVENING,

"The Reclaimers": A project of unparallel ambition spanning over 2 and a half years of writing and planning. For those not familiar this story began as a simple idea back in 2021 and some could say even 2020.

Military-portal fantasy. A genre that has been saturated with works of amazing stories, many of which inspired the initial development and creation behind, "The Reclaimers". GATE, Summoning Japan, the fan creations such as "Summoning America", "Gate - War of Two Worlds", "GATE: Worlds at War", the "Armed Enlightenment" series, and more countless others amongst the fan genres.

With these stories, "The Reclaimers" fits into a unique place being initially heavily inspired by the military-portal fantasy genre, the stories within, and being an original creation. For a first-time writer, it has been a great challenge bringing you, the audience, a story to remember, and one that I myself am able to be proud of.

There is still much more that I wish to do with this story. Towards the end, I skipped an entire ark surrounding the conflict of the Architects themselves, the so called "Creators" of the world. Was this the right move? To not drag out the story with redundancy? Perhaps. Yet through the extra chapters I have planned, I want to explore the idea of what the effects of that ark would've had on the greater plot.

Mike Randall. Leccamaradel Emma Araish. Both are characters of my love. I can only say with some confidence that both characters, amongst the supporting staff, are a distorted reflection of how I once viewed my life, and still do to some degree.

Yet, through everything, they represent the best and worst of myself. For the exact relationship between the two, being that of fraternization, it gave me a decent chuckle. My current time in active service has given me a lot to turn over and think about, but I know that all of you, along with my closest supporters led me to the end.

I can't thank you enough, disregard, I simply don't know how to. You are all too special for me, for this story. Yet, even though long waiting periods and an impossible plot to follow all at once, you stayed till the end, giving me the silent hope to carry one and complete this.

We all hate it, when it ends.

But the best, always end.

Am I to be amongst such stories? Who knows...

Either way,

I'LL SEE YOU, WHEN I SEE YOU...

With much love and patience,

MR. FRUITY.
