After resting for nearly a year, Old Cat had finally recovered more or less completely. Originally, Old Cat had planned to rest for a while longer. After all, writing was incredibly draining. The international site had also been doing extremely well, and the animation rights had been sold. It might even be adapted into an anime someday, which Old Cat was quite looking forward to.
But whenever Old Cat thought about starting to write again, it felt like returning to a chaotic life with no distinction between day and night. Just thinking about it was frightening—especially when it came to writing the latter half of this book...
During this period of rest, Old Cat had not truly stopped. He had constantly been thinking about how the later plot would develop. This book had laid down too much groundwork, its worldbuilding was far too vast, and some parts had been written in too much detail. Anyone who had read this book should be very clear about that, whether in the real world or within the game.
The first half of this book could now be considered complete. The latter half would be a new beginning. The fourth tier would open up an entirely different world and gradually reveal this world's secrets. Whether it was the game or reality, please look forward to it.
On November 15, the journey through the latter half of this book would officially begin. Old Cat hoped that all readers would continue supporting it through subscriptions, so that this book could have a perfect ending.
