Great! Here's another set of **extensive side stories** that form a mini-global epic, revealing the continuing consequences of the Guardian's actions in various cities around the world after the events of VOLUME 4-6. Each story is long, full of suspense, puzzles, and dark secrets.--

# **Story 9: "Shadows of Paris"**

If you want, I can now write the final series of “mini-epic post-Guardian” stories, which will show the lives of the inhabitants after the global destabilization, the development of new Doppelgangers, and the evolution of the town of Harrowgate and other places—these stories will be long, full of tension and dark secrets, and at the same time, they could wrap up all the subplots in the universe.

Would you like me to prepare them?
