Arceus: Awakening (WIP) [151K words] [Update 26/5/2026] New Update!

Greetings. Been a while. Originally I had intended to contain my hiatus to June. Or perhaps extending into July depending on how I had felt. Unfortunately, as the old saying goes. Man makes plans, and god laughs. Got saddled with a surgery that I couldn’t quite immediately afford through July and finally had a few days ago here in August. The month that I had intended to start in Earnest in.

Thus, I shall likely extend it towards the end of August while I recover and should be, barring no further surprises or issues, back to working off handedly in September.

I abhor making deadlines even if when strict enough I can push myself to follow them. So I will for now not provide any set date for when an expected update will be. Simply that it shouldn’t be as long as this last one nor as dreadfully slow.

As far as the immediate incoming section. It should be getting more into the meat pie of the plot, which means no new hit. Or likely too much side relation building. Those will likely come after that. The next hit has however already been briefly teased. As for whether it’ll be an optional hit is still up in the works as while I would like to give freedom as for who the MC chooses to target. This is limited by how much of my sanity I am willing to spend creating said optional targets.

Regardless. I hope you all have a wonderful August. At least, a better one than mine.
