Howdy, partners!
First off, let me just say how much I appreciate y'all riding along with me on this wild journey. This story has been an absolute blast, and your support keep me going. But here's the thing: while I'd love to spend all day, every day, cranking out chapters for you, my time isn't unlimited. Bills gotta get paid, chores gotta get done, and Life demands attention like she's the queen of the Wild West. (Seriously, she's worse than Dutch with his "plans.")
That's why I've set up a Patreon page! If enough of you awesome folks chip in a little, it'll give me more time to focus on this story and keep the chapters coming. Think of it like tossing a coin into a cowboy's hat—individually, it's not much, but when a whole posse pitches in, it makes a huge difference.
Now, I know times are tough for everyone, and not everyone can or wants to pay for something they can read for free. Totally get it! But if you're enjoying the story and want to help a little, your support would mean the world to me. Plus, Patreon supporters get Early Access to chapters (like, 20 chapters ahead!), so you can binge-read to your heart's content.
Oh, and here's a little behind-the-scenes drama for you: I actually tried to set up Patreon two weeks ago! But my account got banned immediately. No warning, no explanation—just Bam, banned. Cue me spending over a week emailing Patreon support, who take longer to reply than it takes John to build that dang house. But hey, we're finally up and running, so let's make it count!

And if you can't support financially, no worries at all—just joining as a free member, dropping a comment or some Power Stones helps more than you know.
Thanks for being the best gang someone could ask for. Now, let's get back to the story—I hear there's some trouble brewing…
