Hello everyone,
I'm really sorry to say that I'll be dropping this series. Unfortunately, someone reported it for using AI, even though I've always been transparent in the disclaimer that I write with the help of AI.
Honestly, if AI could fully handle the plot, character development, and world-building on its own, I'd gladly let it. But it can't. Every idea, twist, and moment still comes from me, and AI only helps me shape and polish them.
A few days ago, I received a warning that continuing like this could lead to serious legal consequences thus, as much as I don't want this story to be dropped, the risks involved, along with how little I earn compared to the effort, make it impossible to continue under these conditions.
To all my readers who supported me and followed the story, thank you so much. Your encouragement, patience, and kindness have meant more than I can express.
I'm deeply grateful for everyone who believed in this story and shared it with me. This is goodbye, at least for now.

For those curious about where the story was heading:
I had planned to expand the kingdom's economy by introducing pig iron, which would spark technological advancements and attract the attention of new rival kingdoms (not just Chronos and Elysia). These emerging nations would compete behind the scenes, leading to economic rivalries and rising tensions as innovations like pig iron began to shift the balance of power across the continent.
The next major arc would have focused on mechanical/technology development and an eventual war with Elysia, where the power and devastation of gunpowder would be discovered and introduced to the world. This breakthrough would spark a surge in military strength and drive the creation of paper currency as part of the kingdom's evolving economy.
I had planned to explore these changes in depth over about 100–400 chapters, including a detailed 15–30 chapter arc dedicated to how paper money could realistically be introduced in a world still reliant on gold coins. It wasn't going to be instant, I wanted to show the challenges, plot twist, skepticism from other kingdoms, and Arthur's careful strategy to make it work, blending real-world economic history with my own twists as it is in Fantasy world.
I had also planned many more arcs beyond that, including portal openings, the summoning of heroes, and other major events that would expand the world and its mysteries even further with more action and drama like I had foreshadow in the early chapters.
Hell, I was even started reading books like The Prince, The Art of War, The 48 Laws of Power, and other works on strategy and psychology to make the story more realistic, layered, and relatable.
Sadly, I won't be able to bring those ideas to life now. I'm truly sorry for that, and I want to thank everyone once again for your support and for believing in what this story could become.

Before I go, I want to recommend a book I really wish I had read when I first started writing this story.
The book I was talking was:
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli
It was written over 500 years ago as a sort of résumé by Machiavelli to secure a job, but it turned out to be one of the most influential works on power and strategy ever written. The book was so bold and manipulative for its time that it was actually banned by the Catholic Church, yet it remains a bestseller even today. If you haven't read it, I truly recommend giving it a try, it's a fascinating look into leadership, politics, and human nature.
This marks the end of the chapter, and with it, my farewell. Goodbye.
