________________________
It's been about three years. Sorry for the long silence.
I never abandoned this world, this universe, this series. I just couldn't update for a long time. I'm returning now with the intention to continue this story and the wider universe around it. It has grown into more than a series — it's an entire project now.
Next update target: 60–90 days (October–November 2026).
Also, I made an alternate-universe interactive prequel/spinoff called The Regulator on OOC: https://ooc.ai/s/6a6569ddb56b0ed56c626efe
It takes place before the world becomes fractured — before the barriers, before the world became what you know from this story.
You play as Regulation, a forbidden anomaly in that earlier world.
It is not required to understand this story.
But it can help. It shows more of the earlier structure of the Slasher Clan's homeworld and one path that leads toward the events of this series.
Important:
The Regulator is an alternate-universe prequel/spinoff.
You can enjoy either side on its own.
Thank you for waiting.
More soon.
(Note: I updated the cover image. Also I'll be polishing some of the previous chapters so they reflect my current writing style more.)
