Hello everyone.I'm Aisa, the author of this work.First of all, I want to sincerely apologize for disappearing.These past few years have been crazy, full of challenges, and I haven't always been able to overcome them.The pandemic has affected me deeply, and this has forced me to distance myself from many of the things I loved.Quitting writing was the most difficult and painful decision I've ever had to make in my entire life.As I faced life's difficulties, I lost access to this account and tried every way possible to find it again. In the process, I accidentally opened two other accounts, and I don't think I'll ever use them.

In any case, I intend to return to working on this work with perseverance and dedication, as in the past. I'll sort out the old chapters and write new ones, hoping to pour my heart into this project and the future ones
