Hello, my dear readers.
First of all: no, I wasn't abducted. I also wasn't kidnapped by aliens who forced me to write romance fanfics between All Might and All For One (thank God).
The truth is more mundane, yet far more painful: two months ago, I was in a car accident.
A completely reckless and irresponsible driver decided that a red light was just a suggestion — and sped through the intersection just as I was passing. The result? He hit the driver's side with full force — my side.
The impact was so strong that the car got completely crushed. And me? I was stuck inside, pinned between twisted metal and the steering wheel. I only got out when the firefighters arrived and cut the door open with a saw, like a scene from a movie — except there were no special effects and no stunt double. It was really me, with a fractured femur, leg, and arm, being pulled out like a human potato.
The hospital was... let's say... a mystical experience.
I was almost entirely in a cast, being fed what the nurses swore up and down was "food." Spoiler: it wasn't. I swear I saw my soul leave my body just from smelling the soup.
After 5 weeks in this hell I now call a hospital, I was finally discharged and am currently at home.
I'm alive — which, considering the state of the car (which was more than just a scratch in the paint), is already a miracle — but I'm still getting around in a wheelchair. It's weird, but I'm getting used to it. My brother said I look like Latrell from White Chicks in a wheelchair. I had to laugh, because... well, it's true. I really do look like I "fell."
Anyway, all this is just to say I haven't abandoned the fic like a deadbeat dad going out for milk.
But it's hard to say if I'll return to writing. After this accident, I lost a lot of motivation for many of my hobbies, including writing this fic. And because of that, I started forgetting a lot about it, turning the mess in my head into an even bigger mess.
So, my decision is that I'm going to drop the fic. I know I promised to at least finish it, and I know many of you are sad (or happy — I do have some haters). But right now, I'm physically and mentally unable to keep writing, so I'm sorry.
When life wants to give you apples, it throws a branch at your head — or the whole damn tree...
Well, I'll stop here, but not before leaving a final message:
Did you know I'm a huge Overlord fan?
One time I stayed up the entire night rereading the volumes, and I ended up reading 5 whole volumes by sunrise LOL. I love the worldbuilding and the magic system — probably because I enjoy playing DMMORPGs and RPGs in general...
Touch Me is the GOAT! Striker class deserves more love!
