Due to the recent illness episode Ren has been going through, and seeing that the symptoms are not improving (and even worsening) after taking the medication he was prescribed, he's decided to go to the hospital again to get a second diagnosis. There won't be any Desolate Era chapters today for obvious reasons. He has told me that, due the special circumstances, patrons could request a refund through patreon, but for those who wait, he'd make up for all the chapters owed.

It seems I only post to bring bad news to readers, sigh.
