Greetings, dear readers! As the author of this book, I would like to take a moment to talk about its structure and pacing. 
When I first started writing this story, I was still learning the craft of writing and exploring the world and characters I had created.
 As a result, the first volume of this book may feel a little slow-paced at times, as I took my time to introduce the setting, the plot, and the main characters.

However, as I gained more experience and feedback from readers like you, I realized that I could improve the pacing and make the story more engaging and exciting. 

Therefore, I have been constantly revising and editing the chapters, trying to find ways to streamline the exposition, increase the tension, and deepen the character development.

You may notice some differences between the original and current versions if you have read the first volume already. Some scenes may have been cut or shortened, while others may have been expanded or rearranged. 
However, I want to assure you that the core of the story remains the same and that the characters and themes will continue to evolve and surprise you.

The last issue I would like to address is the portrayal of the main character (MC) on this website. I have noticed that on average, on this website, there are two types of MCs:

1) The ruthless, apathetic, or cold MC
2) The normal or intelligent MC

The problem with both types is that they often become godlike or fighting experts within just five chapters. Not only is this unrealistic, but it can also become monotonous, in my opinion. It seems that many authors tend to use these two types frequently. That is why I have created a completely different main character for my story.

In this story, the MC is flawed and has faced many challenges in life. Unlike other characters who are already ahead, the MC finds himself starting from nothing. He learns to fight, interact with people, and manage difficult situations. This means that he won't always make the same choices or take the same path as you would. It's important to remember that every person would react differently in each situation, and there is no universal answer for how to handle every circumstance. Please keep this in mind when you come across moments where you may not agree with the MC's actions and consider his unique perspective and way of thinking.

Back in the car, Rebecca broke the silence that settled over the group.

"What do we do?" she asked, looking around at her companions for guidance.

Erik, the de facto leader, didn't hesitate. "We're going to this Shadow's Market," he said, his tone resolute. "And find all the information we need."

Ramon, leaning back in his seat, rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"It'll be dangerous, based on what Vincent said." He voiced the concern that lingered in his mind.

"Don't trust Vincent," Erik said, a hard edge to his words. Ramon raised an eyebrow. "I never did, but why do you say that now?"

Erik sighed. "Vincent didn't tell us a lot of things."

His gaze sweeping across the faces of his companions.

"What he omitted to say is that the Shadow's Market also hosts an underground arena where the most dangerous criminals fight, high-stakes betting takes place, and even auctions for mysterious stuff are held."
