Good morning, everyone! Before anything else, please take a moment to read this note, as it contains an important announcement about the story.
As the arc "The North Awakens: Shadows of the Past" approaches its conclusion, I want to let everyone know that I'll be rewriting the early chapters of the story.
At first, I had mentioned that I did not intend to change the first chapters. However, after rereading the opening chapters more carefully, I realized that some adjustments had become inevitable.
Because of that, I've decided to release the final chapters of this arc a little faster, so that I can dedicate more attention to revising and improving the early chapters.
As the story progressed, the world, its characters, and its mythology grew far beyond what they were in the earliest chapters. For that reason, some older passages no longer fully reflect the tone and scale the story has grown into.
The essence of the story will remain the same, but the narrative will be refined to make the world clearer, the pacing more consistent, and the events more aligned with the story's current direction. Some small changes in details, dialogue, or events may happen to improve the story's continuity.
For those who are interested, I recommend revisiting the beginning of the story. Chapters 2 to 20 have already been revised and updated, while preserving the original intent of the scenes, but now presented in a clearer way and more aligned with the current direction of the story.
I'd also like to let you know that the next chapter will mark the conclusion of the arc "The North Awakens: Shadows of the Past."
I'm very grateful to everyone who has followed the story this far. Your support makes it possible for me to continue expanding this world.
Thank you for continuing to walk with me on this journey.
