Chapter 228: World Suppression, Internal Anguish
—
"Nngh!" Kieran's eyes widened as the pressure bearing down on his body suddenly amplified. Ronan hadn't performed any irregular action, yet it felt as if the gravity surrounding his body had increased threefold.
Ronan's indifferent cerulean eyes swept toward Kieran's struggling expression, and he blinked again. From threefold, the swathing pressure Kieran forcibly withstood increased to fivefold.
The ground began to crack underneath the pressure as even triggering Blood Mania's activation became difficult. When had he ever gone against a force so great it inhibited the use of his skill?
〈System: The user is being targeted by a dangerous force. The user's «Will» is being challenged. «Will»'s subsystem is being activated. The effects of «Willpower» are surfacing.〉
〈System: Now that the «Willpower» subsystem is activated, the user's Vengeful Soul may act as a vessel to contain one's Willpower. [Current Willpower: 10]〉
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
ApexPen
ApexPen Thank you for the fantastic support last month! <3
I have changed privilege prices accordingly, and they have become more affordable, if any of you have noticed.
Now, I want to discuss some matters.
First, this novel's name and cover page will change by the end of this month. Thanks to your support, I have earned enough to commission a decent cover. I won't go into specifics because I'm currently unsure.
Second, I'll be implementing a Gift Pool. It will exist beside the Super Gifts as a way to reward additional chapters through smaller yet accumulative gifts. (It can be met with all donations given to the novel.) [Pool will be 5,000 coins.]
Third, I'll be constructing a discord this month, which will be available to my supporters. (It will have rules to thwart possible rampant toxicity.)
Fourth, I'll be settling for a 16-17 ch per week release rate for this month.
Lastly, the 5 Chapter Mass Release will come by the end of the week after I get situated since I am visiting my mother.
