[February Calls for Vigor: A Man Must Endure] (Seeking a Minimum Monthly Vote!)

February calls for determination; a man must endure.

Having fought hard through January, I salute my devoted fans! I salute my loyal community! I salute all the humble supporters!

Here, I bow deeply to every brother and sister who has stood by "Hunter’s Realm."

This past month has been truly moving, especially because of one particular song: a group of passionate brothers and sisters pooled some money together, intending to use it for subscriptions, monthly votes, or to reward with tickets. I want to thank these kind souls—without naming names—but I cannot accept this money; it must be returned to everyone. It’s not that I don’t appreciate your kindness, but if I took the money, it would feel like a burden too heavy to bear.

When I saw the list of contributions, it was a long string of amounts, some hundreds, some a hundred, some fifty. I know this might have come from your internet fees, breakfast money, clothes money, or earnings from work…

At that moment, my eyes welled up with tears.

Your kindness, I gratefully accept; the money, I must refuse.

Beyond that, there are thousands upon thousands of subscriptions, votes, and support—from those who may not have monthly tickets but spread the word and encourage with warm words—every bit of your support humbles me.

Without each and every one of you, without your unwavering backing, my dancing, my so-called titles like “master” or “platinum,” would be meaningless nonsense!

Back in 2008, I said this: I am not the best author on this platform—not even close (I’m miles behind). But in my heart, you all are the best readers on this platform!

Today, I stand by that truth.

At this moment, I want to write more, to say more, to use the most splendid words to express the stirring gratitude within me—but I find myself at a loss.

Isn’t it ironic? As a writer, I don’t even know how to properly thank you.

Because right now, my heart is in turmoil—not distressed, but overwhelmed with joy!

In February, I will strive to write more, to weave more stories for you. I won’t make empty promises about word counts, but believe me: whenever I have the strength to write even a single extra word, I won’t slack off! That is my promise to you. Anything less would betray your support.

So, on the first day of the month, please cast your guaranteed monthly votes!

Secure those minimum votes, and then let’s keep pushing forward this month!

I won’t boast about rankings or make grand claims. You support me with your greatest enthusiasm, and I will repay you with my utmost dedication and effort!

Friends, January has passed, and "Hunter’s Realm," this fledgling new story, has only just taken flight. How far and how high it will soar depends entirely on each and every one of you! Every single monthly vote you cast is the driving force behind this book’s progress!

So, I’ll say no more. Please watch me dance with words and continue to perform for you through my writing!

Success? We’ve only just begun~

Alright, I’ve said my piece. Cast those guaranteed monthly votes! I’m off to keep writing!

Finally, let me shout out loud: Long live the fans! Long live the community! Long live the humble supporters!
