I’ve spent the last two weeks extensively rewriting and polishing Chapters 1 through 7. After reviewing the initial draft, I felt the pacing was too rushed and certain plot points needed more clarity. I’ve now added deeper character development and fixed inconsistencies to ensure a much richer reading experience.

  Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  Note: I have temporarily removed the subsequent chapters to align them with these updates. I will resume regular updates starting this Tuesday with the new version of Chapter 8. I highly recommend re-reading the first seven chapters to fully grasp the story’s new direction. Thank you for your patience and for staying with me!"
