I have received enlightenment of Karma, thanks to Baby Deathblade. When you think about it, Karma is basically the law of cause and effect. Cause: Baby Deathblade sleeps for five hours starting at 8:00 p.m. Effect: I get to stay up playing with him from about 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. P.S. Special meme in the sneak peek chapter heh heh heh!

While I personally think that plot, character development, backstory are just as important as action, I know that not a lot "happened" in the last few chapters. Therefore, I decided to do this special two chapter release so that we could get into the meat of the trial by fire. By the way, I was able to translate an extra chapter yesterday, so if all goes well, maybe we can have 15 chapters this week instead of 14!
