Dear Readers,

  First and foremost, thank you for joining me on this journey through the apocalypse and beyond. If you've made it this far you've witnessed the desperate battles, painful losses, and ultimately, Alexander's high stakes gambit to rewrite fate itself.

  As we turn the page to Chapter 18, we enter a new phase of our story. The Fall may be undone, but the knowledge of what's coming remains. The clock is ticking, and this time, Alexander has a chance to prepare.

  Writing this story has been a crazy labor of love. If you've enjoyed the journey so far, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could leave an honest review. Your feedback helps other readers discover the story and provides invaluable guidance for me as I continue crafting this world.

  You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

  What did you enjoy? What characters resonated with you? What mysteries are you eager to see unraveled? Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

  Book 2 is already in development and I really think you'll enjoy where our next adventure goes. We'll dive deeper into Alexander's preparations, the cosmic politics behind The System, and the true nature of the beings pulling the strings. The stakes will only get higher from here.

  Thank you again for your support. Every read, comment, and review means the world to me. Feel free to Follow me so you can get any updates.

  Until the next chapter,

  Terrence Abbott
