Chapter 2 Part1 (1/2)

hello everyone! This is chapter 2, part 1!

I’ve added countdowns for every novel’s next chapter on the side bar They’re not 100 accurate, but they should be a close enough representation on how far I’ve gotten

I’ve decided on Walmcardo for that “evil” country btw

If you enjoyed this release, please leave a like or a coenerous, please leave a rating/review for this novel on NU!

Thank you very much
