《The Skies Beyond the Cage》Extra: Special Announcement!

100K Words!
I am so excited and proud that I’ve reached over 100K words in this story. I’ve never been able to write more than a few pages of anything so this is a huge achievement for me. I only intended this story to be a short story/comic script, but look where we are now! This really got out of hand.
I’ve been publishing this online so I could share with a friend, but seeing the views grow on this site (that she isn’t even using) has really touched me. I appreciate anyone who has looked at my story thus far. It’s incredible to me that the views per chapter keep growing day by day despite this being a long ass and very self indulgent story.
To anyone who has made it thus far, I’d like to give you a token of my appreciation for supporting me. If you’ve read all 30 chapters to date thus far, please shoot me a DM here or on twitter or simply comment below, and I’d like to gift you a little bust drawing of whatever character you want me to draw.
Of course, I have no way of knowing if you have read it all so far, but honestly, I don’t care. I’m just happy you’re here at all. Here’s a couple of characters from this story! It’s Eunsoo and Ryu! Do they look how you imagined?

Thank you for reading, and I hope you stick around!
