Update

Hey guys, I'm back! First, I want to apologize for 10 days becoming three weeks. I suffered an asthma bout after my finals and although I'm slowly recovering, it's taking much longer than my usual one-week bouts. The illness has taken a heavy toll on me, making me nowhere near as productive as I wish to be.

Still, we have 16 new chapters between Kilian's arrival in Kars (chap: Groomed by Villainy) and his second death (chap: Embraced by Hell). The characters of that arc were initially planned for later, and as you will see it will force some minor changes in the story. You don't have to care about those changes (I will still need a few days to implement them), and can just read the arc then return to the latest chaps. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to write the other 2 arcs I had in mind and will have to drop them to avoid making you wait two more weeks. I hope you enjoy the arc. I will also put up an auxiliary chap for all noteworthy characters.

Normal updates resume Wednesday.
