Good morning, everyone. Tyrus here with great news.​

First of all, we are finally, FINALLY finished! Book 2 is finally complete! It is 83742 words, 311 pages, and 24 chapters long! I finished it last week and posted it on several social media platforms. If you haven't heard, now you know! Now, there are a few things I need to do before I can actually start the publishing process, mainly editing. I will do most of the editing this time to ensure everything looks good. I don't have a publish date yet, but I'll tell you what looks realistic. I really wanted to finish the book in May so I'd have a chance of getting the book out by the end of the year, but I doubt that will happen. But the biggest thing plaguing me for the past year is FINALLY complete! It took a long time to finish, but I'm glad I finally finished it! And I can't wait for you guys to read it!

Second of all...what's next? Well, first editing and polishing to ensure this is the best book I could make. Then, I'll have to find some way to publish it. And during the publishing process, I will immediately work on Book 3. As I said before, I already know what book three will be like, and it's a huge tonal change from books 1 and 2. It will be even darker, Vyrus will be more present instead of backseating, and the characters' relationships will be more tense than ever. It will be a ride, and I hope you are ready.

Third, personal life. I am so close to moving out, so that will feel great. Halloween is coming up soon, and it's my favourite holiday. I may be too old for trick-or-treating, but I've always enjoyed the spooky month! I will be busy trying to work everything out for Book 2's publication, but I will still work as hard as I reasonably can. I hope I don't disappoint!

Anyway, that's all for this report. I hope you guys are still excited! Thanks for reading, and I hope you all continue to anticipate the next installment in The Advent series!

Good morning everybody, it's Tyrus again. Let's go into what I've been doing.

First of all, The Advent book 2 might be finished within a week. I have about 1400~ more words to write and it will FINALLY be done. That, and some editing, and I will have finally finished a manuscript again. I think it's crazy that I originally thought this book would be finished in January of 2025. As much as I also wanted to finish the book in May, I think I'm ready to accept that it just never would have been as good as it is now that I've taken my time. I'm so excited for everyone to finally read it when its finished. And I really hope that this sequel blows the first book out of the water!

Second of all, book 3 is still being planned out, and I've been getting amazing inspiration for this one. Developing Flash and Vyrus as characters is crucial for this book in particular, since Vyrus doesn't appear too often in this second book. I've been taking inspiration from all the great villains I love (Sephiroth from FINAL FANTASY VII, Vergil from Devil May Cry, The Witness from Destiny 2 and many more) to create a villain that people don't just love; they HATE. I want Vyrus to be DESPISED by fans from just how evil he is. I aim to make Vyrus one of the biggest haters in fiction, and the acts he preforms in book 3 should showcase that. Even when he's behind the scenes, he's always working to make Flash's life absolutely miserable. And I've been taking inspiration from other extremely evil characters like Judge Holden and AM, if anyone knows those characters.

Thirdly, congrats on me! My first update report started on October 9th, 2024. One day short of a full year, and we are here today. I'm proud to see all the progress I've made so far, and I want to keep improving best I can. In personal life news, I finally have my own car! I'm proud of myself, and I'm gonna be moving out sometime soon. Good things are coming soon guys! This might be the most positive report I've made in a while, and I hope you guys are excited too!

Thanks for reading as always. Have a good day, and I hope you all continue to anticipate the next installment in The Advent series!
