Well. If you want to know, then yes. I can share that. I'm Swedish. The vast majority of my learning English was through video games and movies, in addition to that my mother read books to me in the language. I remember at my first ever English-lesson, I was already partly fluent in the language. Though, it's highly likely that I simply got the pronunciation of "y" wrong in some words, as it wasn't my native language. Some mistakes are to be expected.

It feels so strange, though. I looked up specific scenes where I knew people said the word "reality". Listening to them say it, they actually said "realitee". But, in my memory, both BEFORE and AFTER listening again, I still hear "reality". I just can't remember them saying "realitee" unless I am specifically listening for it, not even in my memories. Oh, well.

Teh-heh. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the story. I enjoyed writing it. Somehow, I really like that world, enough that it's now one of few I've written two entries in. Yupp, your points have been noted. I wanted Charity to feel some real despair, so I kind of needed her pillar of trust to be a... haha. And yes, the ending... well... was kind of needed to connect that she's the same person that's in... hahaha... but I found that it was very fitting with the labour. I imagined I could make it a nice little twist. Looks like it went well, with at least one reader. Thank you~

If you do wish to read Apocalypse Maiden (and haven't found it before now), a quick search through the victory archives should do. Only if you really want to, of course, it's a comparatively long read. I would also like to point out that not everything might connect perfectly between the entries, some things went just... slightly off from my thinking, as the two entries were developed very independently. But, yes. Anyways. That's all. Haha.

@Terminal

I'm happy to hear I'm improving. I'm doing my best. Also rather happy to be able to get an upper hand in my win/loss record, teh-heh. As for the criticism of my diction... I had not considered that. I never really intended on this entry being in any way associated with anime, but I'll admit the anime I do watch might have influenced my writing without my knowledge. Hm. I'll consider how people speak in real life, and see if I can adjust depending on the entry I wish to write.

As for the ending, well... Charity as I wanted her in this entry was not the same character as the one that showed up in Apocalypse Maiden. The Charity in Apocalypse Maiden would not have hated murder the way I wanted her to, yet inspiration had struck to make me use her. I had this idea that she reformed herself to fit the will of the masses, and I liked the idea. That's what allowed me to write the entry that I had gotten inspired to write without necessarily needing to overhaul the other entry.

I seem to have gotten mixed reviews on that. Haha. But, anyways. Your opinion is noted, and your opinion is important to me. I will say that Charity had spent no time researching magic to change her nature, so the two months were needed in order to delve into an all-new strain of magic for this purpose. Her new form is also still processed to go after villains, Charity would not have done something that would make her likely to kill innocent people in the future... then again, that which happened in Apocalypse Maiden kind of proved it was a bad idea... Oh, well. I have no defense particular. I liked the idea. I'll keep this little situation in mind.

@RomanAriaOh, my. I'm happy you liked it that much. About the ending and final twists, it makes me really confused reading your review, then reading Terminal's, and then going back to yours. Well, well. Guess it's, uh, not possible to please everyone, huh? But then, who do I want to please? Gosh. Anyways.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean that the narrative didn't take the style of the characters, but alright. I'm very happy you'd consider me for a challenge accolade at all, I never expected to even contend with getting one at all! So, yes. I'm happy to hear your thoughts, and I'm happy to have gotten this reaction out of you. Teh-heh.

Sorry my title this time wasn't as easy as the last one to title-drop at the end. XD ... So, yeah, perhaps, in the final hazard... ... ... ... ... ... There's a Final Hazard. This one's the 12th Labour, but not the final hazard? ... Oh. ... Well, I DID think this one sounded surprisingly simple for the supposedly final challenge that has been hinted on being extremely difficult... hahaha...
