I have my State Championship this weekend, and I'll be leaving in a day for the 4 day trip. This means I won't be posting anything this week.

Just recently, I managed to run a new record and place 1st in the state, but 2nd place is right behind me. This championship race will be uncomfortably close, and my already balding head is becoming even more so from all the stress.

But I will manifest my victory with unrelenting confidence and take that state title for myself. In the meantime I'll be going dark, but when you all hear back from me, I'm going to bring good news. There is no choice for me but to win, and I'm not even going to debate the ifs or consider the alternatives. I have come far and have suffered through a lot to get to where I am, and I'm ready to achieve something I never thought possible.

So that's where I am right now. I apologize for what is going to be a dry week, at least for Serum. I do in fact have a chapter or two for my American Isekai series stashed in the closet along with the bodies, so I think I'll pull those out. I hope they stave off the thirst enough for you guys until I can come back and resume.

Until then, I'm gonna be having the time of my life.

Cheers!
