Chapter 40 - The Author's Herald (Mid Volume Notice)

Hello there everyone, it's me Crossover_Passerby! 👋 

Miss me? 😅

Now, for all of you who had been wondering where the heck I've been for the past 3 weeks, well it's kinda complicated and straight forward at the same time.

First off, I'm still alive, and NO, I HAVEN'T DROPPED THIS STORY. For the past three weeks ever since the end of the Christian Holy Week and the release of the Latest Version, I intentionally slowed down my writing because I've decided to take a Vacation somewhere in the Philippines where things are literally heating up. 🔥🔥🔥😎

Second, I've mostly focused my effort on posting and revising (mostly proof reading and grammar correcting) the first Eight Chapters of this story in Wattpad.

Honestly though, I came to appreciate Wattpad's image posting features compared to Webnovel where som of my images often failed to be posted.

You guys can actually read the IMPROVED VERSIONS of the original Eight Chapters in Wattpad, now equiped with brand new AI generated images!

Now moving on, as of three days ago, I began to writing back on what I've left, namely Chapter 32 and onward, the first chapters of the anticipated Liyue Harbor Arc. 

It is still a work in progress. I've probably finished about 40 to 50% of the intended work which includes researching Chinese names and additional in-game lore.

The Best case scenario is that I might expidate the release of Chapter 32 later this week, but the release of the next Chapter would be postponed till next week. I'm not the type to rush the story especially when I feel that some elements are missing.

The plot is already clear, now I just have to write down the narrative and add some more spices. 🫚 😉

Now on to the next part! 

Have you all played the latest Version which released the long awaited Dorman Port and Temple of Space?

Well, I just finished the entire thing two days ago, and let me tell you there are A LOT OF JUICY LORE BOMBS that were revealed! Lore Bombs that I INTEND TO USE ESPECIALLY FOR VOLUME 3!

- Dorman Port was once a fiefdom of the Gunnhildr Clan, and is now home to a Cadet Branch of the Gunnhildr Clan, Dornmannshaven Clan, lead by Lindemann Dornmannshaven.

- Arcadia, the ancient nation that preceded Mondstadt during the time of the Unified World Civilization.

- Azhdaha's origin as told by one of the NPCs in Luyang Academy.

- Mona's Family living near the harbor, and is apparently well off.

- The Temple of Space and it's Watchers

- The Knights of Favonius Ruins and Cemetery underneath the City.

- The Old Sanatorium
