“Natalie, is there going to be de story? Why did it end all of a sudden?”

dvouche

Her chat was blowing up with notifications, almost everyone was asking why Daybreak ended so suddenly and if there we be any extras.

After Natalie finished reading all the messages, a notification popped up announcing that Daybreak had concluded.

She tapped on it, and the screen jumped to Instagram, where the top trending topic was marked with a purple-red “Hot” | ‘Daybreak Concludes.”

She clicked in, and the topic had already surpassed a billion views and had over a million comments.

In the fan community, everyone was crying their hearts out. Many posted lengthy reviews, while others pleaded for bonu chapters.

Natalie scrolled down a few pages and spotted a post that had been pinned right at the top.

I’m freaking out. I’ve been following this for two years, and every night before bed, I had to read a chapter to fall asleep. Now that it’s finished, what am I supposed to do?”

There were over ten thousand replies, all chiming in with “Same here,” “Me too,” and “Help!”

Another post was blowing up with likes: “Did you guys notice? From the first case to the last, every clue loops back perfectl no loose ends at all. I’m floored. How does she pull off such god-tier plotting?”

Someone replied, “Daybreak’s foreshadowing was planted over 200 chapters ago. You think the author forgot, but she tied everything up in the end. No one else in the online fiction scene can pull that off.”

‘Does Bluebell have some kind of photographic memory? How else could she remember every single detail from 200 chapters ago?”

‘Either she’s got a photographic memory, or she’s got stacks and stacks of notebooks, like, dozens of them.”

Natalie was reading the fan comments when her editor pinged her out of the blue.

Her phone buzzed a few times. She opened it to find a bunch of voice messages. She couldn’t be bothered to hister, so she converted them to text.

Bluebell!!! It’s finished!!! Did you know you’re trending?! Daybreak Concludes is blowing up!!! Have you seen 102

Natalie [Mm]

Her editor replied instantly. (That’s it? Do you even realize how many people are begging for bonus chapters aight sow The next volumes of the physical book are already up for pre-order, and the first print run is completely sold out)

Natalie glanced at the barrage of question marks and typed sms word joke)

Her editor sent a string of crying emojis

[Last time, you only signed a handful for the first volume, and fans went crazy trying to get them. They were reselling for ten times the original price.

(Can you sign more this time? Maybe a thousand? Or even two thousand?]

Natalie thought it over. (A thousand]

[A thousand??? Why so many this time? No backing out now. I’ve got proof]

She immediately sent a ‘moved to tears’ emoji.

[What about the hand-signed copies?]

Natalie paused for a moment. [A thousand.]

A thousand??? Seriously? Okay, okay’]

Oh, and the Literature Department at Redvale University wants to invite you to give a talk about how you created Daybreak.]

Should I recommend you, or do you want to think about it first?]

Natalie stared at the message, her finger paused above the screen for a moment.

When is it?]

Are you really saying yes? Didn’t you always turn down offline events before?]

It’s at the university, so that’s easy.]

Her editor sent a string of exclamation marks. [I’ll get in touch with them right away! I’ll let you know once the date s set!)

Natalie set her phone down on the table and went to wash up.

Today was the final match of the Go tournament, the championship round. Natalie’s opponent: Helen Reyes.

Helen was a pro 9-dan, a world runner-up, and her style was all about rock-solid defense. She was famous for dragging out games and grinding her opponents down until they cracked.

She’d been a fixture in the Go world for over twenty years, with more than a dozen national ticks a two world runner-up finishes under her belt. She was the top seed this time around.

Before the match, nobody believed Natalie stoed a chance. She was just an unranked newbie, beating Reese was already a total shocker. Up against Helen? Her chances were basically nonexistent.

When Natalie arrived at the hotel lobby it was already packed mostly with reporters and people from the Cio.com

Dylan spotted her from a ross the room and walked over He his hand with a respectfulness uncharacteristic of most CLOS

aylan nodded slightly and stepped aside to let her pass. “Please, this way”

When Natalie walked into the game room. Helen was already seated inside.

She was a woman in her fifties, dressed in a white, modified traditional dress her hair styled in a low bun.

When she saw Natalie come in, Helen smiled and nodded. She didn’t look down on Natalie for being an unranked newcomer, nor did she put on airs just because she was alder.

She’d spent half her life playing Go and had seen all kinds of prodigies, some weke flashes in the pan, while others kej shining for a lifetime.

She didn’t know which kind Natalie was, but one thing was certain: there was no way Natalie had made it to the finals

uck.

Natalie took a seat across from Helen and gave her a polite nod in greeting.

In the broadcast room, Dylan walked in, his gaze sweeping the room until it landed on William and Andrew.

He strode over with a smile, giving a slight bow.

William, Andrew, I’ve heard so much about you both.”

William glanced at him and nodded.

Andrew pushed up his glasses, recognized Dylan, and thought, ‘Natalie’s representing Clark Go Club this time. Then he Mr. Clark.”

Dylan was about to say something when he caught sight of the person sitting next to Williamn, and he stopped short.

Henry was lounging back in his chair, legs crossed, looking totally at ease, his eyes fixed on the broadcast screen
