Chapter 4 begins...

The war loomed on the horizon. Demons scrambled and sided with those with the same goals and aspirations...

...including you.

As your power grew, as your lineage took shape, and as you harvested energy through the events of the past few days, peril peered its ugly head past the dark walls of the abyss. The need for allies took hold, and Julia had one too many candidates for those she deemed... capable of helping you.

One of them... was a distrustful, detached demon. Ruby.

The only problem? She's not very keen on the whole demon business. Will she agree to help and join your cause? Or will she not? That outcome remains to be seen.

The next chapter will focus on the other side of your new daily life. Three big 'scenes' are planned, and it will take time before the scenes are finished. One involves Maxime, and the rest... well, the rest will be unveiled with time.

In the coming Christmas, I planned to release an update to the game. One of the three big scenes will come alongside it, so... I'll think of it as a 3.5 update. This way, my time will not be wasted on producing the next chapter through some unrelated special release. I understand my production can be considered glacial, or perhaps not, but I assure you that any wait will ultimately be worth it. That is not a statement of confidence. That is a statement that I'll do everything I can to provide the best product I can put out.

Time for this project, in my case, is limited. Frankly, I'd love to put even more time into this project than I already did, but bills needed paying, so I can't afford to put this above my day-to-day job priority list. I might be silent most of the time, but most of the time I simply do not have the time to interact with you and finish the chapter at the same time.

I'm happy to hear your positive remarks about what I've made so far. Your support has been tremendous, and I hope I can answer your expectations with a superb product.

Thank you again for being here.
