Five years! Oh my! This book has been over five years of my life.
          	
          	The ending is very different to how I was going to make it when I first started writing this story. The ending is happier, calmer. To me this feels like the right resolution, as it’s taken me since Nov 2024 to get these last two chapters done right, to create an ending that I’m happy with as I had written a multitude of things in previous chapters that threw the original idea out the window. 
          	As I said, I’m happy with it. This story started 5 years ago, when I was a very different person with a very different mindset. It wasn’t a great period of my time which did show in the chapters I wrote. But as I grew up the chapters grew up with me, tones changed, characters were more mature and the angst decreased (but never gone!) and the ending solidifies that this project is over, this thing that’s allowed me to meet friends, communities and other hobbies that I wouldn’t have met if not for this book.
          	There’s mistakes, issues, plot holes and… questionable writing, but that’s how I used to write, used to plan ideas, used to portray characters, and to look back on it and see how far I’ve come is amazing, and something I’d never change.
          	I mean- I love this story, and there’s a lot of things I’d change in a rewrite which will be focused on having a story I’m happy with, but this book isn’t going anywhere, it’s staying here for as long as this website exists and I’m content. I’m glad it’s over and I can’t wait to move on to the next thing! :D

Well Well Well, After some planning I've finally started a new book called "When Time Stopped" I plan on it being a short story that takes place after the events of Episode 8 of Limited Life! 
          
          It's based on the idea of "What if they didn't die after getting to 0?" and following different members as they try to figure out what is going wrong and how to fix it!

Hello! After a year I've finally edited chapters 1 ~ 38. It'd take a while to re-read them all, so I've compiled a list of what I'd consider important updates, then some less important and some fun facts at the end! SPOILERS if you haven't read up to 38, and the list continues in the replies! 
          
          REALLY IMPORTANT (Affect the main story/characters)
          - Luke's kinder towards Grayson, conflicted with emotions.(7~24)
          - Amber? Who's Amber? Her name doesn't pop up anywhere!(8)
          - Armen doesn't remember his promise to the Nightmares.(10+19)
          - Armen promises Grayson not to self-harm. He's determined to keep it (12)
          - Grayson and Drake repair their friendship (13) and they stay on good terms until Chapter 21.
          - Luke only finds out about Armen in Chapter 17 not 10(17)
          - Chapters 21 to 26, he knows something's up with Drake and only finds out about possession in chapter 26.
          - Chapter 22 is VERY different, changing Markus' and Luke's characters, I'd suggest to re-read it but here's some changes:
          + Markus was unable to overpower Luke, Luke's idea to confront the trio.
          + Grayson and Armen argue, resulting in Markus' senses overloading
          + Luke and Markus are more serious & emotional. 
          + Markus wasn't alone, a woman was tasked to look after him.
          + Luke says his final goodbyes to Grayson.
          + Drake doesn't suggest Armen and him to accompany Grayson 
          - Those bearing a emerald burnt into their skin are people who'll follow Ferox to the bitter end. (23)
          - Grayson forces Drake and Armen to help rescue Luke.(23)
          - Drake tells Grayson to leave instead of Grayson just running off. (25)
          - Grayson's calm and not an insane bastard. He's more in control of his thoughts and still thinks of Armen as a friend, recognising his wrong-doings.(26)
          - Markus' talk with Leon is pretty different, (would suggest re-reading Chapter 31)
          - Markus is too suspicious of surrounding to tell Leon the truth.(31)
          - Grayson tries to dispose of the book in the water but is unable to bring himself to do it. (33)

That's all of it! I'm excited to continue with the story now that I've gotten a better grasp of how I plan to present the characters along with the plot! :D

- At the village, Grayson realises they're cultist and freezes. (32)

            - Markus suggests Leon to practice with Bow & Obstical course instead of swords.(37)
            
            Fun facts of the book!
            Book's story time starts late September(27th~30th)
            Markus born late October
            Leon born Mid June 
            Grayson's wife called Annabelle(Anni) and I forgot that :,D
            Lily of the Incas - flowers associated with Hero ;)
            Seasons matter!
            Mia likes to speak quickly since she'd never have the chance to speak for long as a kid
            Drake and Armen are the only ones who call Hero 'Hero' the rest call him a demon.

- Grayson is VERY different in his actions and reactions to Armen, he's kinder, more regretful, genuinely concerned but unable to figure his thoughts out. Overly sorry about putting the necklace on Armen. (35)
            
            
            LITTLE DETAILS (Neat lil changes/facts)

Woop woop, re-writ 3 chapters today- 
          Turns out Chapters 12 & 13 are probably the moments when Grayson shines his true colours, the real him before all that juicy conflict pops in again. It shows him as caring, worried and loving towards his friends. Friendship, a really powerful thing but also a doomed train track.

Just wanna say something about why I write such sensitive topics since I feel like I need to explain-  
          
          I have multiple reasons as to why but I feel the main reason is that it makes me feel like I can deal with more things. Knowing that these characters experience such extreme scenarios and get out of it alive makes me believe I can face smaller issues that I'd previously find hard to deal with. If they can survive hell and back then I can survive a lotta things as well and I kinda want to show people that they too can survive things like this - even if I don't show it that well - it's what I intend. 
          
          Just wanted to clarify it-

So I've re-written bits of Chapter 1 and 2. The main thing is in Chapter 2 because it's been completely changed in a lot areas and now includes more lore. So please go check it out if possible, announcements like this may come again if I ever add important plot to past chapters since I'm going to slowly go through the past chapters and re-write certain part for plot or just logical things.

Once one reads THEIR book. They're too far gone...
          
          Hell, to be in possesion of the book is already a death sentence in itself. 
          
          One by one their minds will wilt. One by one their minds will crack. One by one their minds will go. Until there's two left...
          
          Two...
          
          Hm...
          
          
          
          Will they still be there?
          
          Will they be gone?
          
          Well... we all know one thing...
          
          Curse the mind to curse the heart.
          
          Isn't that right...
          
          
          
          
          
          Grayson?
