Hey there, fearless wanderer! The Trials have fallen suspiciously silent these past weeks, but don’t panic—no cosmic mischief has hijacked your story. Truth is, I’m wrestling with real-world exams (turns out mundane tests can feel like mana storms, minus the cool special effects). Expect chapters to resume by mid-to-late February, once I’ve outsmarted these scholarly demons. In the meantime, consider the next wave of chaos on hold. Fear not: once I survive this academic gauntlet, we’ll be back on track with the Trials stronger than ever.
