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.

BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Once inside the luxurious building, the group felt an immediate shift in the atmosphere.

The opulence of the exterior gave way to a more subdued, albeit still richly appointed, interior.

Erik took the lead as he saw the entrance to the Shadow's Market from Vincent's memories.

The others followed closely. They had to keep a low profile, but were still alert for any sign of danger.

"How do we plan to enter the Market?" Rebecca asked, her voice low to avoid drawing attention.

Erik glanced back at her, a hint of a smile playing at the edges of his masked face. "I know how to do that."

Vincent didn't give them the pass phrases it was needed to enter, Erik saw he didn't know it. But a lead was still better than nothing, and in fact, Erik could easily solve that problem.

"Can you at least share your plan with us?"

Erik's response was brief. "Just leave it to me," he said, silencing further inquiries with his air of mystery.
