Dear Fellow Outer Celestials,

  Hello everyone! DS here. How are you doing? I truly hope you're doing well and that you enjoyed the final chapter of Volume I.

  Before anything else, I want to sincerely thank you for taking the time to read my novel. As many of you may already know, this is my very first attempt at writing a novel after spending years as an avid reader. It’s been a dream of mine to bring to life the story that’s been growing in my imagination for so long—especially as someone who's been deeply inspired by video games over the years. That’s why you might notice some familiar themes or elements that feel reminiscent of games you’ve played.

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  Right now, I'm at a bit of a crossroads: I'm considering whether to republish the book with a new title and updated chapters, or continue on the current path and focus my energy on completing the rest of the series as it is. I’d really love to hear your thoughts—please feel free to share them in the comments or vote in the poll!

  That’s all from me for now. Once again, thank you so much for your support—it truly means the world.

  Take care, and have a great day!

  Do you think I should give the novel a fresh start with a new edition?
