Before you start reading:
To avoid overloading the main story with details and side stories that aren't essential to the plot, I decided to create a series of volumes called Backstory.
They're essentially spin-offs — not required to follow the main story, but meant to expand the lore and the worldbuilding.
Backstory chapters will be marked with a 'B' in the title for easy identification.
This won't affect the release of the main story chapters.
Each day's main chapter will simply be accompanied by a spin-off chapter.
With that said, enjoy the read. 😀
