Hey everyone! Just a quick update:
You might've noticed—chapter numbers have now been removed from the titles. Since there's already a number shown before each chapter, having it in the title felt redundant.
Also, Chapters 1 and 2 were heavily updated on April 10, 2025. If you read them before that date, you might want to check them out again. The main plot and context remain the same, but the writing has been revised for better clarity and flow.
I've completed the minor edits as of April 13, 2025 (this weekend), specifically the changes listed below—mostly related to map details, updated fragment mechanics, and other story refinements mentioned in my previous comment.
A few key worldbuilding clarifications have also been added:
The country where Bob is currently located is now structured as Region → District → City. Smaller locations like settlements, bases, resource areas, and outposts also exist within districts.
For example, District 1-02 refers to Region 1, District 2.
To avoid confusion, Fades no longer drop White Fragments. Instead, they now drop Grey Fragments, while White Fragments remain exclusive to Safe Zones for better distinction.
Specific chapter changes:
Chapter 3 – Removed the outdated "six-hour transformation timer."
Chapter 6 – Clarified the route from Hope City (District 2-01) to Minawa City (District 5-01), where Iris's parents are located.
Chapter 14 – Changed "Old Capital" to District 2-03.
Chapter 24 – Added explanation about Grey Fragments and how they combine into White Fragments.
Chapter 31 – Clarified that Bob's grandfather is in District 2-01, Hope City.
Thanks for reading and supporting this story as it continues to grow and improve! If you notice anything off or have suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. I'll do my best to include them in the next updates.
