A bit embarrassing to make this announcement so soon after the previous one, but I got heatstroke and... had a poor time of it today. (I will admit this is... somewhat my fault for not accounting for the weather when disassembling and loading a solid timber desk into a ute...)

  I'll be healing up and taking it easy for my birthday on the weekend, but I'll be back to uploading on Monday February 2nd AEST.

  This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  Again, despite my poor health, I am committed to writing, even if I have to delay at an uncomfortable frequency. Have no concern about me dropping the book or vanishing, I'll be fine on that end.

  Thank you for reading, some particularly interesting events are upcoming in the story, so stay tuned!
