I'd like to thank the Reddit /HFY and Royal Road communities for everything.

It's been a long road, but we reached it.

I'd also like to thank my wife and kids for putting up with me.

Visit freewebnoveℓ.com for the best novel reading exp𝒆rience.

And Zeus, Father of the Muses, for blessing me with lightning bolts.

Two hits in 3 years. Well, one hit, one near hit that knocked me down.

Just shy of 3,000,000 words.

We did it.

Thank you for being here.
