"Mercenary's War" was published on the 21st of March, and right on that day, I couldn't wait to start begging for monthly votes. After all, as a newbie, you know, I finally had the right to ask for monthly votes, and of course, I wanted to show off a bit. But considering two-thirds of March had already passed, with only ten days left, I thought I'd be content with just ten or eight monthly votes. Yet, to my surprise, in just those ten days, I received a whopping 142 monthly votes. Holy smokes, you guys went above and beyond—seriously, you gave more than ten times my expectations. What can I say? All I can do is thank you all. You've boosted my confidence, and I've even started to feel a little proud of my achievements.
