[Alexandr Korol]

— Yeah, seems so. So, what is it? — he’s in shock.
— Well, this is exactly the state I am in when I write all these books.
— Amazing, how can this be?
— Well, what? What’s scary? What happened?
— Everything is very vast, very strange. I don’t understand, it’s like I hear myself from behind and above. And it’s like you’re speaking from behind and in front, and everywhere at once.
— Yeah, that’s exactly who I am. I’m just on my way there now.

And then this person asked me even more questions, and I told him that there is Big Alexander and there is the Mystic-Old-Man. And Big Alexander hints to me that everything will happen this year, in 2025, although he has been hinting that every year for over 10 years so that I don’t lose heart, so maybe it’s just to keep me inspired. But there is the Mystic-Old-Man who tells me that everything will only happen in 2028. And he says that after the eighth volume there will still be a ninth, tenth, and eleventh volume, so there will be more books. And that in the eighth volume I will not fully solve this matrix and that what I am waiting for will not happen this year, but in 2028. But I told the person, there was a time when I caught the Mystic-Old-Man and asked him: “Could it be that when you say 2028 to everyone, including me, you say it on purpose so that people don’t wait?” He answered: “Yes, that’s exactly it,” meaning maybe it will be another year, it’s so people don’t wait. And now I’ve come to realize and suppose that maybe he did the same with the book — or rather, the system did it through him. He deliberately told me there will be a ninth and tenth volume just so I wouldn’t put too much pressure on the eighth volume. Otherwise, I might have gone crazy worrying that I urgently need to finish the eighth volume, that it’s the main, the most important one. So maybe to make me take it easier, he said there will be more volumes. And now I’m thinking maybe the eighth volume will actually be the last one, and maybe everything will happen earlier, not in 2028. I started guessing... Someone asked me what I think, if it happens this year, then when? I told him I will definitely publish by the end of February, or at least finish the fifth and sixth volumes by then. The seventh volume I’ll probably be working on until around June 1st, maybe faster.
