First of all, I would like to say: Did I or did I not convey what I promised? The first two chapters were most certainly extremely tedious. But then any good story needs that.
Secondly I am going to start introducing magic from the next chapter on. So please give your inputs.
Finally, I am preparing a chapter for the introduction of a female character. So I apologize beforehand for any mistakes I might make. I have an elder sister who I love very much and using her as a template I have drawn the character.
Oh yes, don't forget to vote.
