It's been a good while since I re-read through these. Saw this comment on an email notification.

First off, thanks for the compliments. I'm glad this fanfic series still held up nicely. I felt it was better to start the OC like it was an early-game for said character. He lived in Port Nataliah and did Freelance work alongside his hobby of research and studying. Not prepared to join an organization of mad scientists who make chimeras, robots and zombies for the sake of seeking the secrets of the Universe but hey he's joined now and it's somehow benefitting and influencing him but now they're disbanded and he's becoming a Good Guy but not exactly the best at it.

As for God Powers...I believe the closest I made to a God Power without basically adding a new God was Issac, an antagonist for War of the Seraph. But he had some power checks; A) Being Sealed, B) Power Elevating based on duration of the fight, C) Weak to Counter-Attacks, D) Knows damn well never to make Momma-Micaela angry.

Secondly, I gotta apologize that a series of unfortunate events prevented me from continuing this right at the climax of the final one. Yep, Solomon vs. Shadow's fabled duel at Grand Noah and the few chapters of it's aftermath was supposed to be the end game. However a few issues sparked up for me;

1) I had quite a bit of nervousness going into this. I'm usually pretty bad at climaxes. Given War of the Seraph's rocky final battle. I wanted to make sure this was done right this time. A Showdown of Legends, one that rocks the city and was supposed to be immortalized in this fan-interpretation of the game world if you know what I mean.

2) IRL stuff caught up with me and drove my focus elsewhere. This plus other things led to a creative block I had trouble getting out of. Including:

3) Computer Issues messing with Hard Drive and losing work on future projects. Including the first parts of the next Chapter as well as that War of the Seraph Antagonist Spin-off I was working on; Basically introduce a new character, interracts with the villains, adjusts and fixes plot holes and shows background info. Eventually teasing the introduction of a new villain and her organization having it tie into a War of the Seraph Sequel (Not called that obviously. Don't want people thinking I jumped a shark and made Evil Lucifina or turned Eden into a Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain.). Among other things like the first few chapters of Issac's Backstory (A fanfic in Great Monster Wars which I held back because maybe I should wait for Paradox to reveal everything about the Ancestors/Aliphese first) and various stories I mostly wrote for creative fun. (Like a series of skit stories with various OC's I made. Wierd I know.) Sadly I was unable to recover these.

4) I never heard again from Shadowblade. Yeah the creator of Shadow: The Demon Assassin. See he's always had some creative freedom with chapters and scenes regarding his own character. He's never crossed any lines and always kept the story as it was meant to be told. Last time Solomon and Shadow 1on1'ed, both were still a bit Green if you catch my drift. (Not counting War of the Seraph's fight because Solomon passed his weapon to a worhty heir before his death.) Now we're in both characters endgame statuses. The process of writing these last few Chapters would've been a bit like this; Step one. I start the chapter at first, getting what the layout and story should've been, Step two, Shadow makes sure parts of his character would be written proper, Step three, I check and make sure everything's all good, then Step four, continue onwards, repeating Steps two and three as needed. I no longer used Skype, our old form of contact and I haven't heard of him ever continuing any activity on this wiki. This really made me have to wonder what exactly Shadowblade's "Back-up" was that he teases at because that was the first time he's added a surprise I had no clue what to guess at. I ain't throwing any blame at the guy, if we ever re-caught up we'd definitely still be friends and I'd love to try and discuss how to go about this sort of thing with him.

Now if I sat down and focused, maybe try to get the creativity flowing again I could try to finish this. I've always known exactly how Chapter 33's supposed to finish, it's getting there that's the hard part. Really sucks looking back because I hinted at this fight in War of the Seraph as their biggest clash. Were Lucia's words of; "They nearly wrecked Grand Noah" an over-exaggeration? Well not to spoil much of it but let's just say there were multiple clocks ticking down for something on both sides.
