Hello everyone,

I apologize to keep you all waiting and I appreciate your patience, but some life stuff has happened on my end to where I had to put aside my projects for a period, leaving me with the decision to delay the release and push it back to next month, October. I do feel bad about bringing this announcement to all of you who've been itching to read more of this story again, so instead of leaving you in the dark, I will leave some info about retcons that I'm planning to enforce in this story as well as hints of what's to come along with all my stories going forward.

Retcons (Note: I'll probably leave a chapter that specifies these changes so some readers won't be confused):

I will be making Padimon as a continent. I felt this wasn't specified clear enough from the beginning, so I will make sure this is clarified in past chapters.

The Three Territories for Human-Kin, Demi-Kin, and Demon-Kin, I'm thinking about coming up with actual names for each of them and be made into their own countries. It may come out as less of a mouthful to remember than from what I've put in up to now, but what do you think?

Magic Mechanics, up to now, I've had names of Null spells in brackets like this, [Spell], while spells in other magic like Fire, Water, etc. were kind of varied. I'd like to make this consistent and have all spell names be in brackets. Do you think I should do the same with skill names too?

Narrative, up to the latest chapter, it's been told in present-tense. I'd like to change this to past-tense from this point on. This story started out as a way to practice present-tense writing, but after coming this far and reading some reviews, I feel past-tense writing is more my style. I hope this doesn't change the narrative to this story too much, but I'll make sure the quality of the content stays consistent.

EXP mechanics in statuses, I'm planning on removing them entirely. Again, this is more for the sake of ease for me, and will save me TONS of time as I'm updating Jinma's status. And speaking of status, I'm also planning on changing how status windows will be displayed moving forward, hopefully to make things easier to go over for readers. It will look more like a table than whatever what I was trying to do up to now.

That's it for the retcons, now for the more fun, exciting news of what's to come.

Do you want to access chapters earlier than other readers? Getting ahead by one, two, three, or maybe even more chapters? Do you want to participate in the MC's adventures in some manner? Do you want to read more stories from me that you can't find on here? How about some very very poor but sexy fanart illustrations of characters from this story or some other popular medium, all by yours truly?

I will tell you right now, once I have everything set, and if things go well, you will have a chance to get all of these, and maybe then some, in the near future, so stay tuned for when that happens.

One final thing, in accordance to these huge changes with my writing 'hobby,' I was thinking of upgrading my profile, specifically getting some avatar that represents me more as a creator, but I'm having difficulty to come up with what might seem good. So I'd like to ask you guys, based on my current profile pic, handle/penname (Orange Rain), the type of content I create, or maybe even none of the above, what kind of avatar, OC, mascot, etc. do you think would suit me? What do you think of when you hear or read my penname?

Please let me know your thoughts on all these either in the comments, on web novel, or my twitter @OrangeRain3477. Once again, thank you all for your patience, and please look forward for amazing things ahead to hopefully make this year not as crappy as it has been.
