At last, I've finished this five-thousand-character chapter. It really felt like the perfect place to add three words—The End—but if I actually did, I'd probably get beaten to death immediately. Ha.
Actually, this part of the story has indeed come to an end—the first half of the "World Peace" arc is over.
If the "World Peace" arc is divided further, it consists of four smaller arcs:
The first ran from the very beginning up to accepting Black-Faced Old Man Oscar's invitation. It was called "Toward the Ultimate."
The second ran from arriving at Xia Ya up to the exile of Gray Mist. It was called "Wizard War," though I'd rather call it "Nail into the Sky."
Next come the third and fourth smaller arcs. As for the title of the third, I'll keep it secret for now, because saying it would be a spoiler, just like "Nail into the Sky."
All right, I need to sort out the upcoming plot now. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly.
And if it doesn't, and I need to take a leave of absence, I hope you'll understand. After all, I just want to bring everyone a better story.
Also, I'd like to ask for support for once. I'm not asking for anything else—just genuine subscriptions.
Subscriptions have been dropping lately. It's not too serious, but it does affect my mood a little. After all, only when the stories I write receive more and more genuine support and recognition from readers will I have more motivation to pad—scratch that—keep writing.
That's all.
All right, good night, everyone. I'm going to rest too.
Bye!
