Since there isn't a comment yet, I have to say this was well written and with compelling characters, and how everything else seems to flow along together.

The prologue was enough to pull me in (I'm an avid reader and VN/ IF player) as Rael and MC are complicated at best at the moment as I try to explore their ambiguous relationship, but it's too early to tell atm lmao. Maybe he's keeping tabs on MC? Who knows? Also when I was reading the first chapter I do have some theory that MC and their friend, Darya, from childhood are being use either for selfish purpose as getting the Crown leverage/ power for personal gains, since their potential are expandable. But damn the class differences for MC and the rest of the people though, I feel like it's gonna one hell of a time for them in the next update. I could already smell a lot of foolery and discrimination going on with how much MC despised Tirav in the past and even in their current time.
Almost forgot about MC's mother, was thinking that she was probably told to stay away, a.k.a. threatened or something if she haven't return for so long. Either the Crown fear or thinks that if the mom do somehow shows up, MC might start getting ideas of running away way earlier or distracted.
Anyway, stay safe and rest well!
Edit: Forgot to ask if you have twitter or tumblr or any social media form to post or update the progress of the game whenever?
