Well, hello there. Reg here :)
First, sorry for the huge delay. I know I worried some of you (I read the reviews), and I'm sorry for disappearing like that.
Something... serious happened in my life around the time I stopped updating the story, and I was not in a proper mental state to keep writing after that event in my life. It was around a year and a half that I stopped updating TPoM, not in FF, but in Web Novel. I often hang out there back then since I liked the options available there than here. I didn't delete my story there, so you can all check out the latest (not new) chapters in there.

And second, thank you for the kind reviews.
I appreciate you all those who were concerned and thought of my well-being.
As for what happened to me... well, there's no easy way to say it, but I lost someone. Two, actually, in a span of one year.
My uncle, and my mother.
It happened around a year and a half ago. Now that I think about it, the incident is almost closing in into two years now. Anyways, my uncle died some time around the first few months of that year, then came my mother, who passed away in August. It was quite unexpected, what happened to the both of them, I mean. One moment, they all looked healthy, then the next, they just... passed.
What happened to my uncle was saddening.
I was sad that he passed away, and for my cousins and my father, but I endured it after a few months of his passing.
But, what happened to my mother nearly traumatized me.
I was the last person she talked to, you see. So, what I saw that night and what happened to her really broke me. I know I should have uploaded an author's note to at least let you guys know what I'm going through, but I was inconsolable that time and not in a proper state to think of anything else but my family and the emotions that were going through at that time.
I'm ok now though, still sad and lonely to see my mother is not around anymore, but I know she would not want me to live my life wallowing in my sorrow because of what happened to her.
I'm sorry it took me this long to announce it, but hey, better now than never.
You guys deserve to know what happened after waiting patiently for me to come back after many months now.
And I also apologize that it's not the new chapter you guys are waiting for.
Due to the recent information released for Fateverse (about Zelretch, First Magic, etc), I'm in a dilemma about TPoM.
Like 'continue or rewrite' kind of dilemma. So, for now, TPoM will (unfortunately) have to go a 'hiatus' period. Not sure when it will end, but I'll let you guys know once I've decided what to do with the story.
But, no worries, I got a new story coming up.
It's a multi-crossover, and Hadrian is still the MC. Zelretch is also there, along with the Servants. The world is not fate, final fantasy nor harry potter. It's different, and the hint is in the title itself.
It's an AU extension of TPoM, kinda, since there are new stuff in there that I have yet to reveal in TPoM.
It only has the prologue for now, but I'll be updating a new chapter (a real one) soon. It might take a while since I'm recovering from a cold, but it'll be up there before you guys know it.
And YES, this is not just an announcement of my grand return to fanfiction writing, but a shameless promotion of my new story!
So, please, if you got time and you like (or follow) my work, please check it out.

I'm brushing up my writing skills again, so I'm in dire need of reviews.
Anyways, that's all for now. Thanks for tuning in. :)
