Five, Twenty-three, and Twenty-nine Years Owen’s Collection Chapter 5.1: The Dragon’s Curse – First Encounter
Azhure: Needed to read all my notes after coming back from rewriting for so long.
Voice: And there’s nothing we can do! (more…)

“Incidentally,” Aqua continued. “Lei happened to be from a noble family, one that is different from the noble we are fighting against.
“Whatever happens, make sure that she survives. It will complicate things further if another noble is plunged into this mess.” (more…)
Azhure: After a long time, I’m back making new chapters.
Voice: Hooray! (more…)
Azhure: I got college, work, and plain burnout. I guess finishing this story will take a long time. (more…)
Azhure: From now on, I’ll mark the main pov character (Owen in this case) in [Telepathy] conversations.
Voice: But I’m still not! (more…)
Azhure: Happy new year, all of you. Took me a while, but Owen has finally reunited with his father.
Voice: Let’s go! (more…)
Azhure: College exams are coming up.
Voice: Stay tuned again! But seriously, Azhure! You’ve only published twice after the last hiatus! (more…)
"It has been a long time has it, mister Bell?" the Bell Branch manager greeted from his desk. Climbing two flights of stairs, the Court Wizards and water spirits have…
Azhure: I had burnouts. Anyway, I got mid-term exams next week so stay tuned.
Voice: Oi! That’s my line! (more…)
Azhure: So basically, the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo as the abbreviation in our language) of my country, Indonesia, for some reason decided to create a new regulation mandating websites, web applications, and anything providing service over the internet considered as ‘electronic system operators’ (abbreviated to PSE in Indonesian) to register themselves on a list or else they’ll get banned after the deadline.
Azhure: From what I’ve read, the regulation was made back in 2020 but it seems the ministry decided to enforce it this year. I haven’t researched it too deeply, so I might be wrong – try to find it out yourself though you may need translations if you don’t know Bahasa Indonesia.
Azhure: But long story short, Paypal, Yahoo, Epic Games, Steam, Dota 2, Counter Strike, and Origin got banned just because they’re not on the list, screwing a lot of people.
Azhure: Well, the Paypal ban is the one I want to talk about. My Ko-Fi account’s donations go straight to my Paypal account which I’m pretty sure you get the idea of it. The good news is when I logged into SociaBuzz, it got a new update saying it now supports local payment methods of over 50 countries and also global payment methods which includes Paypal, ironically.
Azhure: Actually, the update only mentions the local payments, so the global payments might have always been there – I only had my account for less than a month by the time this was written. But basically, it means I no longer need my Ko-Fi account anymore so I’m turning off payments from it.
Azhure: So, all donations can be sent through one place which is my SociaBuzz page from now on and I appreciate any support you give me for my work. Try checking the list of payment methods the site supports, and thank you again for any donations you can give me.
Azhure: By the time this sub-chapter is uploaded, the ban on Paypal has already been lifted along with a few other sites. Again, I don’t need my Ko-Fi page anymore since SociaBuzz can accept payments from overseas. Frankly, I don’t even know how am I supposed to transfer money from Paypal to my bank account in Indonesia.
Azhure: Anyway, thank you, and enjoy the next lore dump on Spiri Raia. (more…)
