You are the deity of All That Lasts Forever, a being born of the Chaotic Universe and moulded in divinity. One that exists among gods of lore, with the power to change seasons, conjure great storms, and raise life from dust.
Yet, you wield no power. Nothing lasts forever.
Relegated to an errand god, you assist the god of death with the afterlife, guiding lost spirits and hearing the dead's grievances.
Life was simple; the gods weaved the starry night that mortals slept beneath, raised the sun that humans rose to and drew the tides that guided vessels along. All was peaceful.
Until someone dared to defy death.
Your investigations into a strange occurrence will lead you to know far more than you ever intended to, unravelling what may be the precursor to the collapse of the reign of gods…
An outcast among gods and mortals, you are the grey area that bridges the two, and you will decide the fate of the world. Will you side with divinity, preserving power and maintaining order? Or will you support the struggle against them, ending a long era of oppressive rule?
✧CONTENT WARNING: depictions of war, violence, and death; mentions of cannibalism (not heavily depicted) . Potentially sexually suggestive themes. 🌿
✧ PLAY AS THE DEITY OF ETERNITY . 🌿 Though do not expect to be powerful or beloved, with nothing within your domain. Choose your own name, personality, "gender" and "sexuality".
✧ FOUR CHARACTERS TO DEVELOP DEEPER RELATIONSHIPS WITH . 🌿 Four characters to develop deeper relationships with.
✧ A SHIFT AWAY FROM TRADITIONAL NUMERICAL STATS . 🌿 Focused on immersive storytelling, make decisions true to your character, and develop complex relationships with characters that are not easily quantifiable. Your choices will seal your fate, rather than your skill at stat-raising.
✧ DECIDE THE FATE OF THE WORLD . 🌿 Overthrow the current order of divinity, or fight to maintain the status quo
✧ EXPLORE A WORLD OF MYSTIQUE AND WONDER, OF PAIN AND MISERY. 🌿 A sense of loss pervades
✧ NOTE . 🌿 Gods canonically do not have a gender; merely their mortal forms will take on a certain gender presentation, which will be selectable.
Humans have united under one rule, one civilization—Galaio (“one place”). A prosperous and thriving civilization where no one shall go hungry, forgotten or abused — free from the misery and pain of the war that tore the world in the past.
Galaio is beautiful, with cities of gold and flowers, and villages of forests and hearth. Vines hug marble pillars, and trees line the streets. The earth has humans in her loving embrace, and the humans love the gods in return.
Deities rule the humans closely, the space that once seemed vast between them now closed. They've grown wary of humans' ability to govern themselves—they must save them from themselves.
Although many are comfortable with the idyllic lives they lead, they've become oblivious to the corruption and dissidence that grows within them — sentiments that cry for change. 🌿
This list will only cover characters you can form a deeper relationship with, platonic or romantic. All characters are available for everyone and gender presentation selectable. They are, by no means, the only important characters in the story.
SALVATORE // Sal-va-to-reh. Deity of the sun, and the child of the goddess of the gods and goddess of mountains. They have a smile that lights up all their features, and radiates onto others like blessed sunlight. Vivid and cheerful, they possess a deep sense of duty to humanity, one they uphold steadfastly. Always earnest in their efforts, their optimism blinds others from the burdens they bear. Full portrait and character profile here!
LUCIEL // Loo-see-el . Deity of death and one of the original Twelve gods. Their kindness belies their distance, preferring to keep others at arm’s length. They seem to be absent from all matters that concern both divine and mortal beings. Yet, their mere presence brings immutable peace, and you can confidently say they are the kindest of all the gods. Full portrait and character profile here!
CIOCANA // Show-sah-na . Deity of misfortune and suffering, and child of the deity of natural disasters and goddess of the moon and stars. Their smile is charming and practiced, yet the corners of their mouth twist with mischief. Plagued by the role of their own existence, they manage to maintain their confidence, quick-witted and charismatic, yet biting and cynical. Though they're not well-liked among deities, this appears to bother them little. Full portrait and character profile here!
ALESSI // Al-ess-ee . The champion to free humanity from the reign of gods, child to human parents. Their easygoing smile is magnetic, inviting others to take a closer look like moth to fire. A natural leader, they are deeply attuned to the suffering of others and passionate about their cause. However, hidden beneath their friendliness is a righteous fury that consumes them from the inside and threatens to swallow their heart whole. Full portrait and character profile here!

it was really fun and immersive, i just wish there was more
Seems interesting, though I had some trouble parsing the narration near the end. Would've been funny to have the ability to call Ciocana out for being a god when the MC realized it, but I realize there's a number of traits to account for and this is a minor thing. I've been curious how an outside perspective would see our MC, given all the other gods seem to have pieces of their divinity that shine through no matter what.
ahhhh! the new art looks so beautiful!!!!
Is there any content update or is it just new art?
New art as far as I know.
Hello Spiritual-Chemistry! It's just new art for now. The art is actually quite old, commissioned back when I was actively working on the IF. I previously wanted to hold onto it until Chapter 2 came out. However, since I went on hiatus and returned, I've decided to release it.
Thanks for all your patience!
Wow! The character art is so serene!
Thank you, Clover!!
the new art looks beautiful wow!!! the original design will always have a place in my heart for being so charming, meanwhile this new era of visuals is ✨ wow
The original art is so charming, but I wanted to have unique art for even different gender presentations of the ROs, hence new art! They looked quite same-y, as I was scraping some money just to be able to get new commissions at all.
I'm glad you liked then new design, hwhy2!! Thanks for your kind comment!
Absolutely beautiful. Eagerly waiting for more <3
Thank you so much, (redacted)! (Didn't want to refer to you ever)
absolutely love this! cannot wait for more!
editing because i cannot spell at 2am for the life of me!! 💔
Ahh, thank you Yorbb! I don't want to disappoint you!
You wouldnt disappoint me ^^ . . .unless you would ever rush updates, then id be mad (in a respectful "Grr your health matters more !!ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ" Way)
And the newer RO art is BEAUTIFUL ( holy skibidi Salvatore and Ciocana are hot as hell respectfully)
it is soooo stunning, what a mystic feeling
I'm so glad it conveyed those vibes! Thank you so much, MyKawaiiPanda!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SO MUCH
THANK YOU LADY KAI!
awesome game though i expected more to play its been a while i dont see a new update...i will wait more for it when the time comes i will be back
Sorry for the delay, Abyssal!
its np really just anxious your game is very good
Is this IF abandoned? If so, how disappointing...
Was last updated august 2024: New SugarCube version
It has been only four months at this point in time. People do have lives, and things can happen to where they can't write as much. Patience is a virtue.
It's not abandoned, but it was on hiatus for a long time. Sorry!
Oh no it's ok. I wasn't following your tumblr at the time so I didn't know then. Take your time and keep going!
Awesome game hot bar to say but I hope the MC can become like a supreme evil and destroy she who rules all the way the MC is treated is just awful he was to be the most important, powerful and overpower being instead he is a god of thing and no powers to other gods he is just a assistant I hope he becomes overpower and make them all pay
Opinions about pronouns and such aside, I personally found the story quite interesting! I liked the fact that I could somewhat shape my character's personality based on what I chose. The artistic section is beautiful. Maybe I would just remove the times when the screen went white (I played this at night). Otherwise I really liked it and I look forward to the next chapters!
It's pretty cool but damn you for putting those white screens in, they hurt
think fast juggernaut
Lost me with the nonsense pronouns before the game even started. Not even fucking words but sounds like eh/ehq like wtf am I even picking?
the pronounce that you want, who is forcing you to pick something u don't want?
you pick pronouns for people you know nothing about moron.
Let me get this straight, you are mad at letters, to give flavour, that you can choose, at the very start of the game, in a IF.
Ladies and gentleman and eh/ehq, I think we have found a comment of all time
you seem to be the one that's mad. So clearly you didn't get it right. I said the made up
word pronouns were off putting. Not seeing why you're so bothered by my disinterest
So... lemme understand. Having more options, more ways to express your character, is bad because... you personally don't understand some of the options? Cool, pick smth else then? Leave the other stuff for people who do understand and want to use it?
This is the easiest problem in the world to fix my guy, how fragile is your ego that you can't handle even just seeing some funky pronouns and quit so hard you left a salty comment about it.
How does eh/ehq express character?
Don't get angry immediately, it's genuine question. I don't understand all this weird pronouns stuff that I see on the English internet, especially on Tumblr. I don't have it in my native language.
a lot of people use pronouns as an extension of their identity, while some people care about it less; from my perspective, its mostly just about being able to present yourself in a way that makes you happy and comfortable :)
You could argue that this is misguided though, since pronouns are really one of the least personal and most vague things you could use to describe someone. It seems odd for some people to use that of all things to try to express their whole identity. Unless I'm misunderstanding something ofc.
You're not! The way you're seeing it is perfectly fine, some people care about it more than others and neither are really wrong- for example, i use it/its pronouns because that's just what makes me feel happiest but i don't mind if people call me by something else while done people would care a lot more. My pronouns are more like an aspect of me vs a representation of my whole identity
(I apologize for the wall of text ;-;)
Pronouns are an essential function of just about any language. A pronoun is basically just a noun referring to a person (bit more complicated but yeah thats the gist). He, she, they, we, it, etc are all pronouns. There may be languages out there with limited pronouns, or who express things in a different way, but most languages I am aware of has them in some form. They are not always gendered however.
In english, several pronouns imply gender. For example "she" implies a female gender to the person being referred to. This creates a problem, as transgender and gender nonconforming individuals are uncomfortable when they aren't seen as the gender they identify as. Thus the concept of changing one's pronouns, and introducing oneself with their pronouns. This is merely a tool by which to ensure that the language we use to identify each other does not accidentally hurt anyone. Its basically the same level of respect as not calling someone a nasty nickname.
This works great, for some people. He/she/they are all very useful pronouns and can be applied to a wide variety of identities and genders, but some people don't really feel like their identity fits within any of those boxes, and they want a new box. Or heck, want to be outside any box. Thus we come to the concept of neo-pronouns. Essentially newly invented pronouns used to describe people who don't feel represented by the "standard set". A lot of people who don't fit in the binary of he/she use "they" instead but that doesn't feel right for everyone. Some people feel more comfortable with a unique singular pronoun instead.
And, finally (apologies for the rather long wall of text, I just wanted to be thorough), we come to eh/ehq. Eh/ehq are examples of neo-pronouns. They're not ones I am familiar with personally, but in essence they express something outside the gender binary. Choosing these pronouns can express character in a lot of ways, especially for an immortal born-from-the-fabric-of-the-universe god like the MC is in Uroboros. It can express an alienation from conventional gender norms, a desire to distance oneself from those norms, a simple sentiment of not caring all that much about gender and preferring to be unique in one's expression, or all of the above, or none of the above.
Eh/ehq, in essence, expresses that the person using them is not male or female, does not wish to present as such, and does not wish to be perceived as such. The reasons for this can be numerous but that is the essence of it.
And bringing back around to the topic of languages. There are languages out there that don't have gendered pronouns, or have less of an emphasis on gendered pronouns. It sounds like you likely speak one of these languages. I imagine it might sound rather silly for english speakers to get all worked up about them lol, but it is just a matter of expressing one's identity. Its also worth noting that not all pronouns refer to people. "This, That, and Those" are all pronouns as well. Again, most languages have pronouns, but only some languages have gendered pronouns and as such using the proper gendered pronouns may be more/less important depending on your language.
You're talking about ego when you're the triggered one. Why am I picking pronouns for characters with nothing but their name to go off? On top of that I don't know what half the words mean. On top of that if they're gods they could all be neutral. I know gender politics are your whole personality but find someone who cares to argue that bullshit
LMAO keep telling yourself that buddy
You're the one malding in the comments of an itch.io game because you saw some funny words. And now you're complaining about picking pronouns for the ROs before meeting them? Its very common in IF games to pick the gender (and thus pronouns) of the romance options ahead of time so all the ROs fit your tastes. Literally just complaining about one of the genre conventions now.
If you dont care about gender politics, why are you still here LOL? You're the one who came back to argue.
I'm not reading all that. I don't have to justify anything to some random who's mad I don't like some game that makes them feel seen.
Regardless of the actual topic here, disregarding an opinion against something simply due to the fact that it's common does not make sense. It's just an appeal to popularity, a logical fallacy. Obviously, there is also a lot of Ad Hominem (another logical fallacy) on both sides here, making this whole argument look silly.
I agree, both sides were illogical and having opinion is your right, if you don't like it, you don't have to, it's your choice, I can respect it.
But I will add this, if you have a issue with a game, this is not how you go about it, tell the creator how they should design the game is like telling a chef how to cook, it's just disrespectful and there is a difference in blatant disregarding their work and providing criticism, it's about respecting them
Even though the other comment do give some ideas and changes ,they are giving criticism and aim to help in further updates, the op just wanted to yell about their issues and not how to fix them
Dude no one is forcing you to do anything if you don't want to pick it then don't your acting as if you can't choose he/him, she/her, or they/them stop whining about more options on games where you can make yourself whatever you want to be.
Why are you so triggered by my disInterest? How does this affect you?
Why are you complaining about something that you don't have to choose? And how does being a baby about it help you?
womp womp anyway i used some fun neopronouns like sol/sols deca/decays nym/nyr how fun!
(no ones forcing you to use pronouns you dont want, inclusivity is good actually)
You s should take your own usernames advice
What you said was unnecessary.
Ok
follow your own username's advice and do the entire world a favor actually 🫶
This was so fun and interesting! Any news on chapt 2? :3
I come back to this every now and then and love it still as much as the first time I read it. I look forward to seeing where the story goes!
Hello author. I would like to express my great respect and gratitude to you for creating and introducing us to this wonderful story. To be HONEST, I FELL IN LOVE. THERE ARE JUST NO WORDS. Seriously, I'm thrilled. I have not played chicken games for a long time and I have some problems finding something interesting and exciting for myself. but your story managed to catch on, because I haven't been hooked on anything for a long time. actually, I went to itch io for the first time and then I suddenly came across your game, which I am very glad about. Thank you again very much for your work and for this story. (also, I'm sorry if the text is strange, I'm writing through a translator, since I don't know English. so I was also able to complete the game, sitting cleanly through the translator... it was difficult...)
Hi! I played the game! Love the concept and world building. I wanna join the discord but they are all expired. Is there a link to the serve?
So good!!! If games didn't require time and effort the fact that this isn't full would be a crime. THEY CHARACTER CREATION THOUGH IS SOMETHING TO DIE FOR TOP TEIR!!! <3
Ahh I'm glad you liked the character creation! It took some time and effort to create it (I was scratching my head to make unique descriptions for each appearance option), but it was all worth it and I'm so glad! Thank you so much, BeeHorn!
game is so good that lana del rey made a song about it 9 years ago (salvatore)
Oh! Thanks to you, I found out that Lana Del Rey indeed had a song called Salvatore! I will have to give it a listen, thank you so much tea for that and for the praise! :)
That was gud. Looking forward 4 da ful ver.
Thank you so much, Ria!!
Ive been sitting on these thoughts for a while so,
"Nothing lasts forever" okay but what about the exceptions? Like death, otherwise this implies that revival is possible. Or the fact that gods apparently live forever? Or can gods also die?
Also, does "Nothing lasts forever" also include the world? Clearly that would mean that eventually, maybe tomorrow or the next millennia but eventually the world would also die.
Or maybe I missed something and this entire rant is stupid.
Also my thoughts on the game because I'd feel bad for leaving a whole rant and not reviewing the game: Its amazing, one of my favourite bits is the character creation because it is so detailed, and I also love the looking mechanic. I swear if I could marry an IF I would marry this.
Hello Alternate_Willow!
Gods can indeed die, and the concept of "forever" is a bit fickle because to know for sure that something is eternal, you must have reached the end of eternity—or at least, that is how I view it. It is difficult to ascertain if there is anything that truly lasts forever, even the mortal spirit and even death. Is death permanent? Can we be certain anything is? That seems difficult to know for sure!
There is nothing stupid about your musings! It is very interesting to know your thoughts on it. You shared your thoughts because it was worth sharing and because you cared about the game, and that comes through! Thank you so much for all the love and praise for the IF! Even the "rant" is a love letter!
Thank you again! :)
What the—
Holy—
...
This... I have no words; amazing doesn't come close. There isn't much yet, but my word I was drawn in and entranced all the same!
I'm looking forward to seeing where this one goes!!
Haha I'm so glad that you liked it!! Thank you so so much Cheeseless_Taco <3
What happened to the Tumblr?
Sorry for the inconvenience, KyleLy!!
saw the art by nuavanxi and i knew i had to play it and DUDE I AM SO GLAD I DID. i adore the worldbuilding in this, it's so well thought-out and immersive!! the characters are all so interesting (salvatore has my whole heart), it feels like so much care has been put into them!! OH and the character customization is great omg, i love being able to put multiple pronouns instead of just one set :")
RAHHH I ENJOYED THIS SO MUCH i will 100% be trying to exhaust all the options here >:3 i'm so looking forward to the next update, i wish you the best of luck on it!!!
How long is the gameplay?
late reply, sorry! i don't think it took more than an hour to finish a single playthrough.
No worries and wonderful! thank you for letting me know! I usually play games that have at least 1hr of gameplay
Ahh, do you know nuavanxi? They are an amazing artist, and I begged to commission them for their stunning artstyle! It completely aligns with the story. Thank you so so much for all the kind words, I am so glad that all the thought and care I put into the game is conveyed properly! Thank you again, tarutaro!
I was looking through the comments and I suddenly realized something about myself… in most games with multiple love interests I don’t get super immersed so I’m just there wanting to get with every single character… but with this game, I figure out who my character is as a person along the way and I instantly know who I most likely want them to be with and there’s no weird desire to have every character, I feel immersed enough to know how my character would actually react to different people, who I want to be friends with and who I feel my character might have a secret crush on or just a level of fondness they don’t otherwise know how to express.
I love this game so much. You just get so immersed, which is hard to do.
Stat based games can almost never get me immersed, but this game does it so effortlessly I don’t even notice how immersed I am. Lol
It is so incredibly amazing.
It feels so much more real than just numbers that pertain to your relationship or your skills.
I cannot wait to see my character grow and maybe become more powerful or learn more or become more social or become more used to humans or learn to enjoy their life more or maybe my character won’t even change as a person at all… and I just, I love this. I love feeling so immersed and like there is no end to the possibilities.
I need to replay this game a few more times- God damn its so good.
Hello Angie,
Thank you for coming back to this game time and again!! It is such an incredible honor that this game has stuck with you long enough—I remember you way back when you first commented if my memory doesn't fail me, and that felt like such a long time ago. I am really so flattered and amazed.
You have captured what I truly want to capture, which is focusing on characterizing your protagonist and finding a character to connect to who you think they are inclined to, not necessarily just by the preference of the player themself! Of course, the player has to also like the character, but I find that it's especially important to have your character's personality align with your chosen interest.
Thank you so so much for returning again and again. There is no highest flattery for any creative than to have someone continue to think about their work for so long. Much love, Angie.
That was... beautiful. VERY MAJESTIC. I love the emotions, the elegant writing and descriptions. That was a wonder to read through even if it needs just a bit more proofreading.
Gosh--I am so sad that there's only Chapter 1 but I also cannot wait for more!
Thank you Meow!! Yes, proofreading is the bane of my existence as it is difficult to parse through my own writing, but I tried my best with a couple of beta-testers! I have actually received very few proofreading errors from people over the year (I can count on one hand), which is a shame! I invite anyone who finds errors to let me know ASAP, even if it's very minor.
Ahh, but I hope to expand on it more soon!! I hope you will stick around to see the next chapter, Meow! Thank you so much for writing a comment and lending your lovely thoughts!
Of course! I will excitedly wait for more updates. I'll be seated here until the end! ♥
When I have free time to replay it again, I'll try to see if I can find some of the errors and share it.
i loveeeed the writing style for this, can't wait to read the rest
Hi vixhaze, I am so glad you like the writing style! I always thought it was an acquired taste for sure, so it's very comforting to know that some people enjoy it, haha! I hope to bring more of you to read soon, and thank you so much for the comment once again!!
THIS WAS SO YUM. I LOVED OT.
AHH THANK YOU SYLIVAN, and thank you so much for leaving your thoughts!!
Came back to replay it. Its so goood… I cannot wait for more.
I noticed a few writing mistakes here and there, some words being plural when they don’t need to be and such, I’ll maybe look through everything again later and type down some corrections.
I love you, I love this, I so badly want more.
Hi Angie! Ahh, I would be grateful to know what mistakes you find, as even if I take my time to read it and it's been a year since it's been released, not many people report to me any proofreading issues. :)
I remember your name!! Thank you so much for returning to this sometimes, that makes me extremely emotional. It's unfathomable to think about. Thank you again!
Such amazing writing should not go to waste! Good luck Mistyrious, let's hope for completion one day!
Hi Iristheeye! I am also hoping for completion one day!! My studies and work make it difficult to find time to write, but it's always a pleasure to do so, and I keep myself creative even still. Thank you so much for leaving a comment!
This is probably the most incredible piece of interactive fiction I've ever read. The details are fantastic, the writing is enthralling, and the characters make me swoon. I am in love with the way you write. It's inspired me to continue my own writing (hopefully a novel one day, we'll see).
Best of luck to you in your ventures here, as I think about this story very often!
Hi NeonGreenHoodie!! That is such high praise—thank you so much! I thought I responded to this before, but clearly not! In any case, I am so glad to be able to inspire your own writing, and that is an equal honor to being known as "the most incredible piece of interactive fiction" in your book. :) I love artists and writers inspiring others! Please let me know what you end up writing, I would love to see it, NeonGreenHoodie, and thank you so so much!!
Gods, this is so well-written and thought out, the world building in Chapter 1 is already amazing and the characters we've met are so likeable, with so much depth for players to uncover, which piques my interest to continue playing!
And I was pleasant surprised by how personalized this is as well, with the options and profile constantly updating according to the choices chosen, very unique, and hard to execute well for other 'games/novels' i've seen try. I love it!
Just some feedback: Allowing players to change character's genders as we read? I believe it was implied in the intro and agree that it's a good idea for players to be able to change it whenever.
Anyways, I'm a fan now, can't wait for the next chapters!
Rooting for the success of this project! ❤️
There's much about the profile page that I want to improve on, and admittedly, it was a rushed design and implementation — so I am always surprised when people say they enjoyed it! I hope to continue to add on to it so that it holds up to the standards I envisioned for it!
The options, however, was a very deliberate design, and was a huge effort, but a worthwhile one nonetheless, because I know there are people like you who will see and appreciate it!
You brought a great idea! I'll likely give the character the option to change the RO's genders at the beginning of each chapter (I sometimes find myself regretting assigning them a certain way, or perhaps imagining fluidly alternating between gender identities!). Awesome!
Thank you so much for all your compliments, and taking the time to read it!! It's the highest honor to hold your attention in the time that you went through the game! :) Much love, Chesrine!
This is so good, you've already given us a world to explore and hyperfixate on with only a few to go off of. This is so wonderful, I do hope you don't disappear like many other wonderful interactive fic creators ;-;
Everything is simply so beautiful and nothing's ever dull with how wonderfully you're able to describe the people, actions, and surroundings. I could visualize it perfectly in my mind as I process every word you've written and it's simply ethereal. I hope you know how amazing you are at writing as well as the rest of people behind this project. I'm looking forward to see this world emerge like a field of flowers as it continues to be built.
Hi lianyx! I hope not to disappear, either, and I am sorry that I have gone quite some time without an update! I don't ever predict myself being gone, although I have been slow, which I sincerely apologize for!
One of the main things I worried about is description! Writing it is the bane of my existence because I have to be very inspired, otherwise it will come out all wrong. That's why it's an incredible relief to hear that you can picture everything well!!
Thank you so, so much for all your words and taking the time to let me know your thoughts! It's extremely inspiring to read them! Thank you again, Lianyx!
i love this game so much and i will most certainly be kept busy replaying this! the game is so immersive and the story is so in-depth, i love games that make me think carefully about each choice i make. i will definitely be keeping up with any updates you release, i can't wait!
Ahh, it's so flattering to hear that people want to replay it! It makes giving every choice some unique flavor text all that much more worthwhile. Although, I hope to add more branching paths and hidden scenes in this next chapter, which will be a much more ambitious undertaking, on top of having consequences ripple further out into the story! Thank you so much for taking the time to read! :)
woah, this game is actually so sick, the fluid writing and the way it decides your personality, i can't lie this had me hooked for the hour or so i was at it. I'm really looking forward to another chapter, good luck to you and your team i hope this game flourishes, keep it up!!
Ahh, thank you so much miss typo!! :) It's just me on the writing, but I have many people to thank for, for making this IF the way it is! I'll do my best to deliver!!
I love this, pls dont dissapear🙏
Hello Dexrry! Thank you, I am still here and I am still working on it! ♥️
When does the prologue end? I’m a bit slow so I’m kinda confused. I’m on the screen where it’s shows the link to the Tumblr , is that all for now?
Hi Kirbyk1d, you're not slow! Yes, you have reached the end of the work I've made so far. I apologize for the confusion, but I am grateful you've decided to read! Thank you again!!
