Dear Readers,
I want to be honest with you.
I stopped Keys of the Heavens 2099 because the story became too complex for me at that time, and I didn't have enough time to continue writing it properly. I was still a beginner, and I couldn't handle the scale of the story the way I wanted to.
Instead of continuing it poorly, I chose to stop.
But this is not the end of the story.

The Story Continues — WATCHERS
I am continuing the core ideas of this novel in my new story, WATCHERS.
This is not a direct continuation, but it exists in the same universe.
WATCHERS takes place in the earlier timeline, long before the events of Keys of the Heavens 2099. While Keys of the Heavens 2099 is set in the year 2099, WATCHERS explores the past—where everything truly begins.
It will take time for the story to reach that point.

Connection Between Both Stories
Some well-known characters from Keys of the Heavens 2099 will appear in WATCHERS with the same names over time.
One character has already appeared from Chapter 1, sharing the same name as the author.
More characters and deeper connections will be revealed in later volumes.
I will try my best to connect the story from where it was left, even though it ended without an announcement.
However, not everything will be shown directly.
Because WATCHERS focuses on the early years, many events leading to 2099 will unfold gradually.

Current Progress
WATCHERS has already started.
It was first uploaded in February 2026, and currently has 13 chapters.
Volume 1 is planned to end at 25 chapters.

One Universe, Different Time
Both stories are part of the same universe.
Even though the timelines are different, they are connected.
Keys of the Heavens 2099 shows the future.
WATCHERS shows how that future is created.

Final Words
If you enjoyed Keys of the Heavens 2099, I hope you will continue this journey in WATCHERS.
This time, the story is planned, deeper, and built to fully explore the world I originally imagined.
The story hasn't ended.
It has only moved back in time.
