Currently, this novel is unavailable. As a "beginner" author, I’ve spent the past four months improving my skills, and looking back, I find what I’ve written before to be, well... not great. Over the next month or so, I’ll be editing and reworking this book to make it better. Completed: 18 / 116 chapters.

He chuckled nervously, realizing he'd been caught. "I was just... uh, admiring your skills," he stammered, suddenly feeling sheepish.
