1. Bargain Tweaking
Hi, as I anticipated I modified the bargain between Kai and Zervathi at the end of chapter 231. The deal was a bit too unbalanced against Kai give the circumstances of the negotiations. Now it's still ambivalent, but with greater possible rewards.
If you don't want to go reread, this is the main ...

A/N: This prologue is 3k. It took a while to get the different POVs right.
For the Orange Tier: I'll take the next week off, and be back on Thursday. Sorry for the awkward schedule, it's been a bit of a mess trying to organize my pause in a way that worked for everyone. In another week, it'll be back to norma...

Hi, somehow the epilogue of book 3 is also going longer than expected, who would have ever thought XD. I'd rather take my time to do it right, so I'll publish it tomorrow.
Also, I might do some tweaking to the second bargain between Kai and Zervathi. I'll warn you of any changes in the A/Ns of the epilogue.

A/N: I've done it! This chapter is also a new record for length: 3.5k.

I'll try to get the epilogue out tomorrow, but it might also be on Wedne...
