The Final Notice_ Thank You_

---

Dear Readers,

I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your incredible support and the joy you've brought me throughout this journey have meant more than words can say.

After much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to step back from writing for now. This choice was not easy, but I believe it's the right one for me at this time. Life, with all its complexities, has taken me in new directions. I see other writers facing similar challenges—some lose motivation, some post sporadic, unfinished chapters, and some simply vanish without a word. I've always hoped to avoid these fates and to continue creating and sharing stories with you all. But sometimes, life has other plans.

I haven't updated to the point where I have missed plenty of events, holidays, and even my book's second-year anniversary. So have this brainberry cake I recently baked for you. I wish to update more, but I can't force myself to do so, or else I'll be making some terrible-quality stuff. The rule always goes: quality over quantity. Quality needs time, so much time, and I do not like rushing my work.

I believe that taking the time to create something of high quality is always worth it in the end. I want to ensure that everything I put out into the world is my absolute best work, even if it means missing out on some things in the process. I hope you understand and can appreciate the effort and dedication I put into my creations. Thank you for your patience and support as I continue to strive for excellence in everything I do.

Currently, I am a senior high school student, soon to embark on my college journey. Just recently enrolled by myself. My dream is to become a nurse, to care for others, and to build a stable, independent life abroad. Had the K–12 system not been implemented, I would already be well into my nursing studies. Nonetheless, I embrace the path before me, even as it demands more of my time and energy.

Lately, my focus has shifted to preparing for the future. I've been diving deep into anatomy and physiology, honing my social skills to excel in nursing, and tackling personal challenges. This shift has left me little time to write, and for that, I sincerely apologize.

As Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed said, "Requiescat in pace"—rest in peace. While this isn't a farewell forever, it's a time to rest and gather strength. Master Chief from Halo reminds us, "I need a weapon," symbolizing the need to equip ourselves for the battles ahead. These words resonate deeply with me as I transition to this new chapter of my life.

Please know that I cherish every moment we've shared. The connections, the encouragement, the laughter—these are memories I hold dear. I want to honor those who have been a significant part of this journey:

- To Mr. @RobinAltwidus, who inspired me to write this book, thank you. Your encouragement has been invaluable.

- To my dear friends  @-neosht, Kind_Kitsune99, and many more. Your friendship has been a source of great joy.

- To long lost writers like @Oldest_Cipher, @xxvertileee, the guy/gal who wrote a very nice chapter of Nikolai Gogol, and many otherswhose works and presence have touched me, thank you.

- To my dear readers, my supporters from miles and miles away. I appreciate your dedication to reading, even when my book becomes stale.

- And for that one reader, I forgive you, your action made sense and had reason. I just don't have the guts to say sorry. No need to forgive me; this undead gentleman's brain has no sense of direction and was foolish.

There are many more, some whose names I might not remember but whose impact I certainly feel. To all of you, thank you for being part of this journey. Now, don't worry. Shed your tears for something else more important. I may be gone, but who knows? Soon I will return with full surprise, but don't let expectations get ahead of you. The time is sadly unkind and harsh, as the Mad Hatter from Alice Madness Return would describe, but put a smile on your face. A smile brightens up, and tears go for another day.

Everyone else here is sad, but they don't let sadness ruin their day. Dr. Nurse Doctor would be expecting to have your daily check-up once more. Sebastian Mattheo is more than happy to welcome your presence into his Circus of Horrors and put on a nice show. Ms. Goodbooks is giddy to suggest you so many books in her office and so on. Queen Gearheart is also opening the steam ballroom for a lavish party for all readers. Orichimaru wanted to share so many things with you but didn't have time to do so, but he is more than happy to tell you once you return.

As I step away, I carry with me the hope that our paths will cross again. "The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world," as G-Man from Half-Life said. I wish you all the best in your own adventures, with hearts full of gratitude and fond memories.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Mr. Gentleman_Zombie_1225

Side note: I may work on with polishing the book, it is my last thing to do for now and I do not like leaving my readers a book in ruins. Once I am done, it will be marked complete, for now.
