Final Thoughts:

The series will go on, and so another entry is on the way. Now, up until now, the series has mostly been focused and singular, but the next entry will take the series to the next logical step. The series (and its protagonist) will be taking on harder fights and, as such, fights that affect many more than simply a couple of people. In any case, the roster for the next story will be out soon.

I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you that read this story of mine. I'm glad that this story and the series in general is able to get some attention and recognition, and it's all because of all of you that gave it a chance. I greatly appreciate the time, attention, and opinions you shared with me; I hope I was able to entertain you and give you some enjoyment. I hope you enjoyed this story, and that you come back from my next entry. Also, I want to simply offer support and well wishes for the people of Japan one more time, because without them, I probably wouldn't have picked up pen and paper in the first place. Now, I and probably you, now wait and wonder when exactly KOFXIII is actually going to come. Until next time, I genuinely wish that you come back and read more from me, and may God bless you.

M.M.
