Hi Guys! The novel has just been republished here on webnovel with all the available chapters.

He wanted to forget and pretend the world hadn't ended" In a world of fantasy and magic, Keru is an up and coming silver class adventurer. To the curiosity of those around him, he possesses a unique bloodline ability, the power over the domain of sleep, the strength of which belongs only with the class of blessed high nobility. To no ones surprise, he wanted to keep his past hidden. To his sponsor's interest, the deal they struck could cause a fun headache for her counterparts. To Keru himself, the price he paid was still unknown. *First time writer If I would describe the MC's inner personality at the beginning he would be someone that's: Reckless Conflicted Result-Oriented Emotionally Driven Pragmatic This isn't gonna be a harem novel, just wanted to get that out there ahead of time. The MC at beginning is someone who's impulse control has deteriorated severely. A lot of the trouble he gets into is because he's reckless and emotionally-involved in delicate and nuanced situations. However, he usually gets bailed out by his natural gifts and talents which allows him to continue with his carefree attitude... until it inevitably doesn't. I really want to tackle this part of the MC's character and what are the effects this kind of mindset has to an individual and those around them. *Credits for Image to KELLEPICS https://pixabay.com/images/id-2847724/ Free for commercial use under Pixabay License with no attribution required

Do I have to pay the publishing house for the second printing of a self-published book?
Usually, the second printing of a self-published book would require another payment to the publishing house. This was because the printing costs and distribution fees of the second printing would have to be paid by the readers. This was because the publishing contract of the publishing house usually stipulated that the publishing house would be responsible for the first print of the book. The second printing would be done by the self-funded author, and the publishing house would not bear all the costs of the second printing. Therefore, readers had to pay for two printing costs when they bought the book, and self-funded editors also had to pay the printing costs and other related expenses to the publishing house.

Generally speaking, the printing cost of an ordinary 300-page book was about 200 - 600 yuan. - In terms of book size, A4 books cost more to print than A5 books. - In terms of printing quality, the cost of color printing was higher than that of black-and-white printing, and the cost of fine printing was higher than that of ordinary printing. - Binding method: glue binding cost is lower than thread binding, hard shell binding cost is higher than soft shell binding. - Other factors: whether special designs and special papers were needed would also affect the printing cost; the more printed copies, the lower the cost of a single copy; the cost of digital printing was usually lower than traditional printing, but the color expression and durability might be slightly worse; special versions such as limited edition and souvenir edition required special designs and production, so the cost would be higher; if there was a need to pay copyright fees, transportation and storage costs, these would also be included in the printing cost.

Private book printing costs
The cost of printing was affected by many factors. From the perspective of printing methods, digital printing was suitable for situations where the printing volume was small, while traditional printing was suitable for situations where the printing volume was large. If the number of printed copies ranged from dozens to one or two hundred, digital printing was more suitable. Otherwise, traditional printing was more cost-effective. The printing fee was also related to the number of pages, color, binding, paper, and number of prints. The more pages there were, the higher the cost of composing and printing. Binding methods such as saddle nailing, sewing glue binding, wireless glue binding, etc. Different page numbers were suitable for different binding schemes. Paper was generally commonly used with double-glued paper, but the price varied with different thickness. In terms of printing quantity, there was a situation where the cost of a single volume would be lower as there were start-up fees, plate making fees, etc. For example, when the printing volume was small, the cost of a single volume would be higher, and when the printing volume was large, the cost of a single volume would be lower. From the types of books, books with plain text, pictures, tables, or other graphics had different publishing costs. Plain text was relatively cheap, while other types were more expensive. The number of colors in the composition, such as single-color, two-color, four-color, the composition fee is also different. In terms of cost composition, apart from printing fees, there were also book number management fees, review fees, proofreading fees, publishing fees, design fees, and so on. The book number management fee was usually a large expense other than printing, which could be between 30,000 to 50,000 or even higher. The review fee and proofreading fee were generally calculated according to the number of words per thousand words (the number of words was the number of words on the page). The publishing fee varied according to the color count and the type of book content. For example, a 200-sided 16-sheet black book with 100 copies printed would cost about 3000 yuan if digital printing was used. The cost of a single copy was about 30 yuan. If traditional printing was used, it would cost nearly 6000 yuan. If it was a color book, the cost of digital printing was about 200 yuan, and the cost of traditional printing was about 130 yuan. If 10000 copies were printed, the single-color printing would cost 5 yuan per copy, and the four-color printing would cost 7 yuan per copy. Therefore, the cost of printing a book was between 5 - 30 yuan if it was in single color, and between 7 - 200 yuan if it was in color.
