Sorry. I said it would come out in September, but my family needed the car, so I had to go get my driver's license. The whole process took several months.
I'd also said I wanted to try writing a game-themed story, but none of the openings I wrote felt right. In the end, I had to go back to the genre I knew best. Then I kept building up a stockpile of chapters, and somehow it got delayed until now. I'm truly sorry.
The new book is called Clock Out, Then Become a Vampire.
Synopsis:
My name is Shen Cheng. I'm 21 years old and live in East City District, Tailing City. I'm unmarried and childless.
I get along well with my family. My late father was worried I'd stay single, so he even mailed me a beautiful vampire to bite me.
I work at the Public Security Bureau. Every day, I have to keep handling corpses until nine at night before I can go home. I work overtime of my own free will.
I don't smoke or drink, and I get less than eight hours of sleep a day. Staying up late is the romance of an overworked wage slave. Before bed, I always drink a glass of chilled fresh blood, then enjoy the vampire girl's company.
The moment I get into bed, I fall fast asleep. I sleep until morning and never let fatigue or stress carry over to the next day. My coworkers all say they should learn from me.
It's that familiar Cheng-ge again. Feel free to check it out if you're interested.
