Hello, everyone— or rather, the one or two people actually reading this.


    If you''re seeing this message, it means that I am dead.


    ...


    Unfortunately, that was just a joke. I''m still alive. But, as fate would have it, my time for mandatory military service has come.


    The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    In my country, military service is required, and mine will last for a full year (12 months). That means I won’t be able to write during this time. However, since I’ve finished college, I’ll be serving as a lieutenant after completing my three months of training. This means I’ll have more freedom compared to a regular recruit, and I might be able to write. That said, I also need to prepare for exams to become a teacher, so most of my free time will be spent studying.


    So, expect at least a year-long hiatus.


    Thank you for reading, and goodbye—for now.
