From start to finish, the Abbot stands in silence while I narrate my time with Mahakala, from how I first discovered him lurking in the shadows to how I was there for his last, heartbreaking moments as a dying man so haunted by the mistakes of his past. So still and stoic, the aged Abbot doesn...

Two things: New league of Path of Exile is coming up in september, and I'm going to be taking a week or two off to play. I dunno the exact date it starts yet, but I will know next week, at which point I'll inform you of the exact days I'll be taking off. This is just a heads up about it, so you can all adequately prepare, with tissues and watnot. Plus yanno, mebbe cancel patreon before september if you so feel like it.
Secondly, and I probably should've opened with this, but the advance chapter 497 will be late, because I ha...

Yea you read that right. 2 chapters. It's really just one stupid long chapter, because I'm dumb and couldn't cut things short, but yea. It's about almost 7.5k words long, which means it's not just 2 chapters, but two long ass chapters -_-
It still counts as one for release tho, so here you go.

Currently, I am on track to catch up without needing extra time, but I'm gonna give myself a little extra time anyways because none of my advanced chapters are edited and I'd like to take the extra time to make sure I didn't leave any glaring mistakes, plot wise.
I will release the next chapter on Patreon this sunday, and get back to regular RRL releases on tuesday. This should be how it is, unless i find a major screw up sometime in the next few days.

So as some of you know, I've run into some issues with the latest volume, mostly being of plot and moving the focus away from Rain and co. I don't want it to last long, but atm it's looking like it'll take at least 5 chapters to pull ff, and even then, I worry it's going to feel... asspulled. I won't go into too many details about it, but suffice it to say, my original plot plan fell through, and my new plan feels cheap and terrible. I'd tried fixing this without taking a break, but thus far, I've already fallen one chapter behind and am eve...
