The story you followed here has grown into a complete novel of 120,000 words, with deeper character development, expanded cultivation sequences, and yes - even more scenes with everyone's favorite angry goat.

  For those who've been asking about Joe's journey since the story went on hiatus, I'm happy to say that all the plot threads come together. You'll find out why coffee was really banned from the realm, what those mysterious cultivators were up to, and just how far our coffee baron will go to protect his new home.

  To everyone who supported this story in its early days - your comments, feedback, and encouragement kept me going when I wasn't sure I'd ever finish. Every "Next Chapter" button clicked, every comment thread debating Joe's cultivation techniques, and every theory about the goat's true nature helped shape this into something I'm truly proud to share.

  If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  The Amazon version has been professionally edited and significantly expanded, but the heart of the story you enjoyed here remains the same. If you enjoyed your time with these characters, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could check it out and maybe leave a review. As an indie author, your support means everything.

  Thank you for being part of this journey,

  Frontier.

  P.S. Yes, Gruff is still just as stubborn in the final version. Some things can't be edited away! ??
