Chương 22: Timeline

Hello everyone! Goodnight! Unfortunately, a setback has arisen. I'll have to make a quick tip, but I'll be back soon. In the meantime, there will be no new chapters. So, I wrote this quick chapter to make up for it, I hope you like it.

As you know, my story begins well before the events of Nier Automata, with the protagonist going through events that have only been mentioned in other media.

So to help the reader I have created this timeline with the relevant events, as the story progresses I will update the timeline.

Some events may be missing because they are only mentioned. I will put them when the specific date is put in the story.

Hope this was helpful.
