Hello, dear readers!
This month, as I was putting the finishing touches on Act 5 of Veil of the Primordial, so many important things came up. I didn’t want to include them in a formal author’s note, because these are the kind of details that only readers following closely might notice, which, aha, is you! I love hiding small details and clues that reference the future in my story to prepare the brain for what will happen next.
If you haven’t finished Act 5 yet, I highly recommend doing so before reading further, as there are spoilers of Act 5 in the next three paragraphs.
First, a fun little note: the second Neuvillette that appears in “Chap. 47: Otherworldly Sanctum” has actually appeared once before in the story. I’ll leave it to you to figure out where.
As I’ve mentioned before, in my story the Usurper is not the villain, and its true nature will be revealed in Act 6. If I were to give a hint, I’d say its existence stems from the beliefs of people and the ability of an object to develop a will of its own. As long as people believe in it, fear it, or even think about it, it will grow stronger.
Lastly, the setting and scenario of Chapters 45 to 46 draw inspiration from the Catacombs of Paris and the black death epidemic. That’s why the events unfold inside the Fleuve Cendre, an underground sewage system.
Thank you all for following my story along this year, you’re the ones that make all my effort meaningful. Wishing each of you a Happy New Year! See you all in 2026!
