~ I have added this Fanfic to my Patreon. If you'd like to read advanced Chapters, feel free to check it out!
~ I'm planning to increase the number of advanced Chapters to +50 this weekend!
~ I've edited some of the previous Chapters to remove anything you might consider "cringe" or "unnecessary." I'll continue reviewing them from time to time!
~ Very soon, we'll return to releasing two Chapters daily, including bonus privileges for Power Stone contributions
