I've talked about it in the Translator Thoughts and no one believed me. I warned you guys and spoke out my fears! But all I received was laughter! Well, here you have it! Factual proof that some twat cursed the Rise Team! I decided that after six months of working on Rise just about every day, it was time for a few days off. I went to go camping. Shanks and Devshard were to take care of Rise during those two days. They assured me that everything was going to be all right!

Things did not go all right, which leaves us in this precarious situation. There hasn't been a chapter for a couple of days and I know many of you want to know what's going on. Let's start off with what happened to Devshard!

Devshard was supposed to take care of the chapters for Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately, his fucked up sleeping schedule got the better of him. He overslept by five hours and his boss and boss' boss in the hospital were not amused. He spent the better part of the weekend making up for that and when he finally did have time for Rise, some dumbfuck repairman came to upgrade his internet and fucked it up so badly that it still isn't available. The unfortunate fact right now is that we need Devshard for the chapters from Saturday and Sunday. This puts us in a weird position where the chapters for Monday and Tuesday are ready to roll out but are waiting in limbo. And tomorrow, when I wake up, I'll get to work on the chapter for Wednesday. They will all be released as soon as Devshard's internet gets fixed and he shares the edited versions of this weekend's chapters!

It's the Curse of Three for a reason. We all get hit at the same time. Me by being away from the fort and Devshard by fucking up in real life. Then we have Shanks. This dumbfuck didn't know his final project that makes up 70% of his grade was due this week. So as an additional phenomenal dumbfuck moment by the Rise Team, he is stuck spending all his time working on that. But fear not! He is still finding time to translate and we’ve found a more than capable replacement to take over the stream this Thursday! This mystery guest is actually half decent at the game! Comparable in skill to someone like Yang Fan from High School 13! More details for that will be released later!

That's about it really. It's turned into quite a big blob of text, so I'll be nice for the lazy ones amongst you and write a ‘too long; did not read’. Peace!

tl;dr Chapters are a little late, but we'll be uploading every chapter from Saturday up until whenever Devshard's situation gets fixed. When exactly that will be is still unclear. But you can always hit us up on Discord for the latest updates! And don’t forget to ping Devshard to let him know you miss him (even though he doesn’t have internet access and can’t see the messages until later)!

P.S. To those who’ve expressed concerns about our health, don’t worry about that. We’re a-okay! Shanks is being his squeamish self, Devshard is being a miserable shit to the repairman, and I’m just laughing at them.
