*****

I made this for my own sake as well….

I want to get to 10 chapters before taking a break, before my trash memory and school takes over.Considering the [Fantasy] tag and [Multiple Lives] tag, this setting is meant to be temporary but I do want to flesh out the basis of the story before going forward into the [Tragedy]

I hope if you like what I’ve written so far, you will continue to read forward even when my writing gets a bit odd or not as detailed as official novels. Most of the novels I’ve read are in a Korean backdrop, so because I’m not Korean, I hope you can forgive me for the cultural inaccuracies.

I will try my best and Happy New Years╰(*´︶`*)╯
