The rumors of my demise were highly exaggerated, etc.

Hello everybody, this is Zarkiel.
I'm sincerely sorry for the absence of updates, but the real life has sneaked up and sapped me, back in February. Since then the work on Fiend's Game was moving slowly, and was abandoned at some point, even though the whole plotline was outlined before I started writing the first chapter of it. I still haven't fixed some issues with my life, but I'm working on it, and I'm returning to work on the story after long hiatus. It didn't leave my head, and I have some good ideas on how to improve it. I'm also moving to a new house, and I'll try to re-edit the existing material next time I'll get the opportunity (when I'll set my PC up there). The estiamted length of the story would be from 27 to 32 chapters, depending on what I'll decide to add/remove from it. Once I'll settle down, I plan on making a writing schedule, aiming for a steady stream of updates.

Cheers!
