2023-02-01 00:33:30I just wanted to use this to let everyone know that new chapters are on the way starting tomorrow but first I wanted to get an important message across.
First of all, I apologize for the inconsistencies with the uploads. I know you guys read this book not just for the story but also as your pastime and I appreciate you all for the support that I’ve been getting.I just checked the last chapter and I was left a comment addressing the lack of new chapters and how it makes the story boring and I get where you’re coming from reader. Even I get annoyed when the books I read don’t get chapters when I want them to.I just wanted to ask you guys to look at things from the author’s perspective and I hope you understand.First of all, though it takes you guys a minute to read a single chapter it takes us the author an hour minimum to write it and thirty minutes to edit so an hour to two hours for a single chapter.Double that when the author uploads two chapters daily.Now, that’s four hours gone out of the author’s day and yes I know you guys pay for coins to unlock but I will be honest, I barely make enough from this book.Usually, an author makes money based on the level of promotion their book gets which means more readers and more coins but if you’ve noticed this book hasn’t been promoted for four months now which is why I don’t make much.It’s not like it’s the platform’s fault because they gave my book a shot but since this is my first ever Urban book I made a lot of mistakes at the start that didn’t leave the book enticing enough for readers to want to pick it up and payPlatforms only promote books that make them money but if your book doesn’t then you get shelved like mine seems to have.It was a week before the last promotion that I figured out how to edit my old chapters and make them interesting enough to read and when that happened, the promotion worked and I made more in that one week than I made in months.I wasn’t making much the months before so please don’t think I made a lot in that one week I mentioned. It was just more that’s all... HahaUnfortunately, since the book already has a history of not making anything I was shelved still. At least that’s what I think because I see other books getting promoted but not once have I been in months.Anyway, I digress.Since writing takes a lot of an author’s time and mental energy, authors try to make it a source of living. So, if your book doesn’t make you enough the only solution is to write another book and supplement both incomes.That was the plan when I decided to create WISH TO BE RICH at the start of the month.Now, the thing about starting a new book is that you have to give it as much attention and push to upload many chapters so that the platform picks it and promotes it to hopefully make money from it.This month I’ve written over 100,000 words which span 81 chapters for WISH TO BE RICH. That’s twice what other authors upload for a new book and twice what I did for The Midnight Heir during its first month.I’m finally at a point where I can reduce how much I focus on that book so that I can focus on both books I’m writing currently, The Midnight Heir and Wish To Be Rich.That’s what I was doing all month when I wasn’t uploading chapters for this book. I was writing and uploading for Wish To Be Rich so that I can have enough money to continue both books.My social life, eyes and mental state have gone into shambles because of the amount of work I had to do while I have school and other things to deal with but I’m sucking it up.I even got sick during this process of stressing myself to write so much and I still am a bit but as long as I can write I will.The midnight heir is a book I’ve planned from start to finish and it’s a book I created Wish To Be Rich from so that I can make enough to continue writing this book that clearly doesn’t make me much and my reason is that I love writing this book.I hope this chapter has helped those who are mad at me and feel like I abandoned this book with understanding what was happening behind the scenes.Again, I want to apologize for the inconvenience but now I’m at a stage where I can focus on this book as well as my other one and that’s what I plan on doing.Please support me by supporting Wish To Be Rich as your help will allow me to continue pushing out more content.Thank you for reading my thoughts. Two new chapters tomorrow.

The Midnight Heir FLUCTUATION
"So now what?" Frank asked Anthony after looking at all his friends that were unconscious and getting concerned that he was the only one still awake.“..” Anthony didn’t give a single response, annoying Frank who felt ignored.“Okay. So, about your eyes, what’s the situation with that?” Frank asked and Anthony looked at him. “Are you really a monster or are they some new type of contact that becomes like that in sunlight or something like that? What’s the secret there?”“You remember the question you asked me?” Anthony asked him and Frank look confused.“The question I asked you? The question about your eyes or what we’re going to do now?” Frank asked and Anthony grunted."That’s right and this is when you join your friends and go to sleep," Anthony said then Frank jolted with a worried look."Sleep?! What do you mean by—" Frank said in a panic but wasn't able to finish when Anthony grabbed a vital point in his neck and knocked him out cold in less than ten seconds.After that, Anthon
The Midnight Heir RETURN TO THE ROOM
Tessa creased her forehead in ponder of what he was talking about“A small box with strange symbols on it? Something like that was in your room?” She asked.“Yes, it was. Tessa, try and remember if you saw something like that 'cause you must” Anthony requested, grabbing her shirt to try and get her to take what he was saying seriously.“Please take what I’m saying seriously 'cause it’s the most important thing the both of us can do right now. Try your best to remember what I’m asking” Anthony insisted and Tessa grimaced.To Anthony, this box was the center of everything happening right now. The circumstances that lead to him having it in the first place and what happened when he took it to his room were all bizarre.If he wants answers to what is going on with him then that box is the only thing in the world that can provide said answers.Tessa was watching him pant and realized that he didn’t just grab her shirt to make her take his words seriously but he was trying to keep himself s
The Midnight Heir ENERGY BLACK HOLE
While they drove, Tessa had her hand firmly on the grab handle the whole time.Deep down she was scared for her safety and that’s because the fear of Anthony passing out while on the wheel was ever-present. If it was someone else then she never would have dared get into that back seat.They were halfway to the Untitled Hotel, driving on the right side of a two-lane road and a driver from the other lane speeding to drive past them when Anthony’s power came on again and he saw something.Without a single warning, he swerved to the left and cut the driver who was just about to drive past them and they almost had an accident.While that driver honked his horn and was cursing Anthony out, Tessa looked at Anthony with worry if something had happened to make him change lanes so abruptly like that. “Silver, if you can’t drive pull over and let—“ she said and wasn’t able to finish when less than two seconds after Anthony changed lanes, someone ran from an alleyway, fell on the pavement then r
The Midnight Heir MEMORIES
"Inside the wall?" Tessa asked, getting even closer and tilting her head with a look of confusion "How is that even possible?"She was wondering how the box Anthony was talking about is inside the wall when there was no sign of that being the case.Anyone who has eyes could see that the part of the wall he's talking about doesn't have any signs to show that something is lodged inside. Unless the hole was created then the box was put inside and then someone with bricklaying experience covered it evenly to the rest of the wall with cement. That person would then have had to repaint that portion the same color as the rest of the wall and the paint dried to perfection.Unless all of that happened then there's no way what Anthony was saying makes sense.For someone to do that they would need at least a full day or two but from what Anthony has said, the box wasn't in the wall at the start of the day."Are you being serious with me right now Silver? I can't imagine you to be the type of pe
The Midnight Heir DUST
She saw the symbols Anthony had been talking about and she knew instantly that it was the exact box. The fact that it was floating made it more obvious."Woah, so that's what you were on about? What type of box is it?" Tessa asked as Anthony limped forward and grabbed the box.The moment he touched it, the box stopped floating and fell into his hands to be taken out.Anthony carried the box out of the hole he had created in the wall then he limped to the middle of the room while Tessa followed behind, wanting to see more of it."Silver, how on earth did you get something like this? It looks like one of those items you would find in voodoo shops" Tessa said as Anthony turned all sides of the box to inspect it."Someone gave it to me," Anthony said and Tessa creased her forehead."Someone? Someone like who, a witch?" She asked jokingly then looked at Anthony's face but he looked serious."Wait Silver, did a witch seriously give this to you?"Anthony shrugged "I don't know but it might a
The Midnight Heir AT WHAT COST?
A couple of hours later, Anthony took in a deep but calm breath then opened his eyes slowly as he sighed peacefully.The first thing he noticed is that he was facing the ceiling and the second is realizing that all the pain he had been feeling before had upped and vanished.At the same time, he wasn’t surprised by the fact, he somewhat expected it but he had no idea why it was. Where did the strong feeling that he would be relieved from all pain come from? He wondered.He brought his left hand to his field of vision which was the ceiling to stare at it.He stared at his palm and then at the back of his hand, alternating multiple times while wiggling his fingers around and cracking the bones in his fingers until finally, he clenched his fist as tight as possible.He was measuring what his current strength was and it was back to normal. At the same time, he felt like this normal strength that he had had his entire life is his weakest and he could get stronger.The reason he felt like th
The Midnight Heir SPARE KEY
Not long after they finished having their conversation, Anthony went to take a shower and clean up the dirt and dried blood on his body while Tessa waited for him by the window.She would have sat down but only the messy bed which had Anthony’s dried blood smeared on it was available and she didn’t want to sit there When Anthony was done he came out looking and smelling fresh, wearing the pair of clothes he took inside the bathroom when he returned from Gem fest with the box and he joined her to continue looking out the window.“I just realized this but what brought you here in the first place?” Anthony asked Tessa.Tessa jolted with widened eyes then answered “Oh, that’s right. I came here originally to give you this. Unfortunately, something else took precedence but I'm glad that’s over with. Anyway, here” she said, reaching into her back trouser pocket and bringing out the half access card Anthony had given her.She extended it to Anthony and he looked at it in her hand.She said
The Midnight Heir REBRANDING AND REDESIGN
Anthony was about to walk into the restaurant when something by the side caught his eye.It was a little sign which says [WELCOME TO THE BRAND REOPENING OF THE GRAND BLUE RESTAURANT] and a time of opening for when the night shift usually starts.“They rebranded?” Anthony asked himself and then finally walked into the restaurant.The first thing he noticed is that the interior had been renovated again and unlike the last renovation which was mostly a theme change and a little reconstruction, this time it was a complete makeover from how it used to be.If Anthony didn’t know better, he would have thought that it was an entirely different restaurant he just walked in.From what he saw he was impressed with the job done and he knew that whoever choose the plans for this design had really good taste.At the same time, he knew who that person was, the new manager of the restaurant of course, and Michael already had great style back when he was just a regular staff and was doing more with hi

ADOPTIVE SON ARC FINALE
Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

"Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking? For reminding me how I had to listen to your stupid complaints which made my brain melt all those time, watch this" Bradly said then stepped away from Johnathan and in the process, he brought out his phone and raised it in front of everyone.Bradly quickly went to the Bubble Tv platform, found a certain video, copied the link, and then sent it as a comment underneath the post on the scho

Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
