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.

  This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

  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.
