Hello everyone! Quick and exciting announcement post!

  I've been cooking up chapters at a rapid pace in hopes of launching a Patreon. Like most authors here, I am competing for the dream of writing my story full time! Or at the very least, I am hoping to prove to my loved ones that locking myself up in the writing cave has not been a total waste of time. If you wish to support your local Finnish runesmith, head over to the link in the author notes below!

  This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

  Patreon is now 14 chapters ahead of Royal Road and growing. Additionally, Patreon supporters will have access to an exclusive extra chapter regarding a young ether hunter on her first surge duty on the third level. The extra/interlude chapter is not necessary to the main story, so don't worry about missing out. If you're interested in learning more about how humanity defends itself from monsters, I recommend checking it out!

  Thanks all for reading!
