Hello Readers!

With yesterday's epilogue, "In the Maw of the Gods" has officially concluded, but as chapter 49 made pretty obvious, the story of Ijiria is not yet over. There are still plenty of mysteries left open relating to why Ilirianna Iiji was erased, what truly happened during Abigail's rebellion, and what exactly The Angel was, and I fully plan to address all of them. That being said, I've always considered In the Maw to be the story of Omaruo, Eric and Lilly, and the Magic Club---a story that is now wrapped up exactly as I imagined it. That is why I've decided to continue the story of the Ijirian realm in another series rather than create a fourth volume for this one. However, having finally reached the end of In the Maw without deviating much from my chapter schedule, I am a bit burnt out and decided to use the end of the series to take a small break to gather my thoughts properly and prepare for my next RR endeavor. Therefore, I intend to start publishing the next series sometime around mid-June, and the title of that series will be "The Burning Flowers", so keep an eye out for when that goes up!

I also want to properly thank everybody who gave this series a chance! I was a bit apprehensive about posting my work online, but with it now finished, I am very glad I did. In the future, I hope to be a bit more active on RR. I've always been a little anxious interacting online, but RR has such a nice and welcoming community and so I hope to be a bit more involved come the start of my next series. In addition, due to how busy I've been in life this past year, I've never really gotten around to reading other works here on the site despite really wanting to, so I would really like to change that now that I do have a bit more time! So if anybody has any good recommendations for me, please let me know and I'll check them out!

With all of that said, I am officially signing off of In the Maw and I hope to see everybody when The Burning Flowers begins!

Take care, Readers!
