Important News for Everyone!
Alright, we're just a few chapters away from wrapping up **Volume 1**, and I'm here to let you all know what's coming next!
**Volume 2** will focus on **fleshing out the world**—characters, buildings, locations, improvements, and everything in between. Don't worry, the story will keep moving forward, but expect a lot more **side character development** this time around.
Since the **barrier is keeping Daemons out of the Middle Hive**, Leon is currently the **strongest being around** (for now). So, expect less **"Leon soloing everything"** and more **world-building**.
### New Characters & Returning Faces
I'll also be **introducing new characters** (including those two ladies from earlier—probably around Chapter 2–4?), and if you have any character ideas, feel free to suggest them!
### Ships? But No Harems!
Yes, I'll be adding some romance—**small, natural, and no harems** (this is **40k**, not a dating sim). However, **Leon is off-limits for now**, because I have **plans for his love life**, and I'm keeping that secret for now!
That's all for now—**stay tuned for the upcoming chapters!** Thanks for sticking with the story, and see you next time!
