It's quite surreal; I only launched on May 6th and missed the double reward period, yet with the support of all my readers, I managed to climb onto the monthly reader-voted ticket chart midway through the month! As I write this, the ticket count stands at 1005 votes—I'm genuinely thrilled. This is the first time my monthly vote count has ever surpassed a thousand; my heart is pounding.

Here, I must express my deepest gratitude to all the readers who have continuously supported me: thank you to those who subscribed, thank you to those who cast their monthly votes, thank you to those who gave rewards, thank you to those who urged me to release faster, and thank you to every single person who has offered support.

1005 votes—even looking at it now feels like a dream.

And now, June is almost here. By the time this chapter is released, it should be International Children's Day.

I can't help it; I’ve noticed that once I have monthly vote support, once it's time to enter a 'battle,' my creative state becomes incredibly inspired, and the feeling of writing is phenomenal. It’s for this incredibly potent state that I seek your monthly votes, to see if we can push into the top six of our category.

It's not that placing in the top six is the ultimate goal; it's the process of the fight itself. That inspired state is too powerful; I could easily churn out four chapters a day when I feel it.

And the ** June is about to arrive.

The temperature is like fire; is everyone's ** also burning like fire?
