For those you who expected a new chapter, I apologize since this isn't one.
I'm probably going to abandon this story, since the plot wasn't really thought out well, and many new reveals from the source material contradicts this fanfic.
I'm currently working on making another fanfic. Most likely a HSR fanfic with the Shadow Slave power system and lore integrated into it.
If anyone wants to use this fic to make their own, I'm completely fine with that.
Other than that, I don't have much to say. Hope to see you guys in my next fic.
