[System Notification]
Alert: The Shadow Angels have dispatched 50,000 soldiers to investigate the recent disappearance of the Shadow Castle and its surrounding forest, which have merged with the Shadow Planet inside the host body. This formidable force includes:
General Kaelen – 6 wings, Level 6. An expert in aggressive reconnaissance, Kaelen leads the search to identify disturbances in shadow energies and locate potential threats.

Commander Velornia – 9 wings, Level 9. As the leader of the operation, Velornia utilizes advanced shadow manipulation and celestial abilities to track the energy signature of the castle and uncover the reasons behind its disappearance.
Total Force Strength: 50,000 soldiers, highly trained in both offensive and defensive strategies, ready to engage in battle if necessary.

As I watched them from a distance, it became evident that these beings weren't from my world. Their very presence radiated a power and mystery that piqued my curiosity. I had to understand their purpose here.
Deciding to focus on my own training for now, I tuned out the external distractions, determined to perfect my abilities. The system provided a new notification:

I continued to practice, honing my skills, when suddenly a presence approached me. It was Velornia, one of the leaders of the newly arrived force. With nine wings unfurled, she walked towards me, her voice as cold as her demeanor.
"Do you know anything about the disappearance of the castle?" she asked, her voice sharp, like a blade cutting through the silence.
I ignored her for a moment, still focused on my practice, before finally drawing on the system's power and using one of my lottery draws. The name that appeared was Timeless Maid Order, an intriguing title that seemed to promise something more than I could imagine.

The names of the maids, each more powerful than the last, flashed before me, revealing a staggering array of abilities and domains. The Timeless Maid Order was not just an alliance—it was an army of celestial and cosmic forces, each with the potential to change the tides of battle in ways I couldn't yet fully comprehend.

As I marveled at this new power, my attention turned back to Velornia, who had yet to receive an answer. Her patience, it seemed, was growing thin.
I gestured for her to wait as I spoke to Astraea, who, having already observed me from a distance, approached with her own grace. She knelt before me, her regal presence as overwhelming as her aura.
"Master," she began, her voice carrying the weight of authority and devotion, "I am Astraea, the Supreme Head Maid of the Timeless Maid Order. If you require anything, please command me. I can do anything you wish."
Her presence made Velornia, who had been standing aloof, take a step back. The aura Astraea radiated was one of profound power, and it didn't escape Velornia's notice. She immediately ordered her generals to investigate the source of Astraea's energy, which was beyond anything they had ever encountered.

As Astraea closed her eyes to focus on her task, the world seemed to dim around her. Her ability to peer into any dimension was nothing short of extraordinary. She could see beyond the fabric of space and time itself.
"Master, I will see what your wives are doing in your dimension," Astraea said softly, her gaze distant, as if she were already peering into another world.
The power of Astraea's sight pulled at the very fabric of reality, and I felt my connection to my world stretch thin. The image of my wives, of the people and places I once knew, began to form in her mind's eye.

Author's Note:
"To my loyal demons and angels who patiently await each word I pen, I owe you an apology for the delay. The whispers of forbidden knowledge lured me into the depths, where I sought a worthy ending for Volume 1. Crafting such a finale took… certain sacrifices.
But now, I return to you with secrets unearthed, ready to deliver a tale that will set fire to your curiosity and plunge you into deeper darkness. Thank you, my demons and angels, for waiting so faithfully. Now, prepare yourselves—the story resumes, and the descent begins."
