FIrst of all, before i complain, here's the 300 words of ch 15 that i had before i focused on exams:
Nephis raised her sword, eyes focused on the enemy in front of her — A Centurion.
It was a hard battle, fierce, life ending, and so much more. But, at the same time— it wasn't.
The Monster in front of her was mindless, with the same patterns as its pre evolution. Only it was faster, stronger. It's blows more powerful.
She had to do this. She can do this.
As the scythe of the Centurion whistled through the air, aiming for her collarbone, she waited — until it was the right second — and ducked.
Her eyes flickered with recognition. The same style. The beast in front of her was indeed a beast, without intelligence or any sort planning. There wasn't even a single ounce of desperation within it.
In this twisted world, she was its prey. Or at least that's what it thought.
Nephis could make do with this.
Attacks came in seconds, and her body responded immediately— fruit of the hours she had spent practicing, perfecting her sword.
She swung it, and it met with the scythe, throwing her back.
She gritted her teeth. This was just like she planned.
Soon, she'll finish this—after all, her goal wasn't to kill it then. It was to distract it long enough, then, she'll find Sunny and Cassie, and continue their journey onwards, towards the west.
…But that was easier said than done.
Her dodges— they were barely on time. More than once, the abomination's attacks had managed to graze her, her blood dripping onto the floor.
Her attacks— they were weak, useless. The monster was stronger, faster. It didn't need something as trivial as technique or intelligence to cut away on her. With each passing second, Nephis could feel her body grow slower, as fatigue gnawed on her muscles.
And yet, she smiled. Smiled for this was an opportunity, a chance to understand just how weak, how powerless she was. A taste of what could happen, what would have happened if she didn't cooperate with others.
Yes. She held no power. But soon— soon it would all change.
She shouldn't rush.
With that in mind, she once again focused on the abomination in front of her, and readied her sword.
As she collided onto the walls of the labyrinth, Nephis ignored the pain surging within her, immediately standing back up.
This was it— there were only two paths of action could she choose.
To run, or to fight. And of course, she chose the former. After all, the price of defeating the Centurion was too steep, one that she didn't dare risk. For now.
'See you soon,' She thought, before running towards a nearby corner, the tips of her mouth twisting into a smile.

ok so the reason why im doing this is because i feel really uncomfortable with having to write new chapters. I know i might have given some of you hope that this would continue, but in the long run, it wasn't feasable. my idea wasnt executed well enough and i found myself being unsatisfied with the whole fic in general.
One of the points is that i didnt have an outline at all, and went with the flow until i didnt want to.
Also, my motivation for this is completely gone. Most likely cuz i stopped writing for myself at some point and just tried to satisfy what everyone wanted.
Well, i might as well say what i want.
Some people have been asking for a new chapter. And i have an extremely slow writing speed. To satisfy that, i had been writing even when i was on vacation, and yea, [insert insults that i would usually say since uhh i dont know]. ANyways, ive just been forcing myself to write this for more than 10 chapters, sorry if you have gotten your hopes up. Well, I genuinely enjoyed some of the comments or reviews you guys gave, ecspecially that one guy on ao3 who wrote really lengthy ones and kept talking about the stuff they wanted to see in the future; i also really enjoyed that one person on my discord server yap about what he liked in this fic. So thank you i dunno im a mess right now mentally.
I might continue my most recently started fanfic, forget me not, since its easier to write, and i wholeheartedly enjoyed writing it. Im sorry. Im sorry. Im sorry for giving this up.
You can yell at me if you want. I did instill hope that this might continue.
ANyways, below is some details that i havent published in this fic. And hopefully, I might come back later.
