As I write this page, I still can't believe that my story here can be passed to "Longlist" in ONC (Open Novella Contest) 2024, one that makes me proud and so happy about it because my English grammar is a mess catastrophe, FOR REAL! But, it was why I came to manage this story so it can be done ASAP, and it turns out through all the things that happened to me from February until the Longlist announcement, I'm so happy that it turns out I can do it!
As you know, none of this would have happened without much support that came from many amazing and beautiful people surrounding me. Now, let's raise our glass for these people!

First: I would like to thank my parents very much thank you for believing in me and encouraging me through my darkest time when I almost decided to give up writing a story or manage my hobby as a writer and author. Thank you so much, Mommy and Daddy! love you so much!
Second: I specifically dedicated this story to my best friend who became my GF back in 2016 when I was in my senior year of Junior High, hey Amuba, this story is for you, and yeah, some of the parts came from a real act that you've done to me and I shall make you eternal through my stories by many names and character, but you're the only one that can win my heart this far.
Third: Yes! How can I forget you, Giji? never! Thank you so much for encouraging me and making me believe that I can do the impossible things from the very start until now. Many events have already happened to us and from you, I can learn the real meaning of Loyalty from friendship and slowly change to siblings. Giji, as my promise that I shall never quit writing, then this story will be my proof that I did it! Thank you, Giji... let's eat ice cream when we meet, shall we?
Fourth: No, never, and won't happen! You're my enchantress and my Witch, Dhea! Thank you so much for every word that makes me believe that I can be a good writer through sickness and health!

Relax, I promise I shall sign it with green ink for you!
Fifth: Sarae-Seong Miss even though we're far away in the distance, you've come as my closest sister that I have from Poland that I love dearly! Miss, I'm sorry that I can't pass to the shortlist but I hope you're okay with it because I dedicate this story to you too. KKKWWAAAKKK, this Old Parrot is flying slowly with his wand KKWAAAKKK! OH, congratulations on becoming the Longlist as well, Miss! You're amazing.
Sixth: HyperKatKei Miss Kei, my dearest white Queen of Srilanka, You Majesty, I present this to you as a sign that I've conquered my fear and darkness inside of me that wishes me to stop, give up, and quit. BUT, I say out loud, NO! I WON'T...
Seventh: Hiraethy_ Wolfy, Luna, Foxy, and above all my Lord of Autumn Light... Thank you so much for keeping in touch and believe me I can do it and I can get what I've been expecting to have. You're an amazing Lord and Little Brother that everyone could ever ask for.
