A/N: Hello everyone. Yes I know this isn't another chapter and that you all want one after a long period of time since the last one was posted. You're probably thinking a few things.

1: Did this guy drop the story?

The answer to that is no.

2: Why is this not a chapter?! Give me another chapter.

I will explain that.

3: Why are you not posting anything? It's been over a month.

I know that.

Anyways, before I tell you why the next chapter is taking so long, I would like to thank each and everyone of you who stuck by this story and even you newcomers who may have started reading this story not so long ago. I'm thrilled to report that thanks to you guys, this story has over 50,000 views, 250+ favorites, 325+ followers, and 125 reviews. If I wasn't motivated to get the next chapter out sooner, this definitely helps. Thank you all so much! You guys are the best!

Now, there are multiple factors that are affecting the update process. The first and major one being my senior year. It's an extremely busy time for me. As I'm sure some of you are aware, the first semester is extremely stressful having to balance school and applying for college. This is the last time grades really matter and I want to make myself look appealing to more schools. The next being my family life. Seeing as this will be the last time I see them before I go away for college, I'm making sure to spend as much time as I can with them. Family and friends are important. Lastly is just finding a few roadblocks here and there trying to write the damn thing. I know what I want to do, it's just that I second guess something I write sometimes.

Some of you may not care. That's fine. Just thought I'd let you all know about what's been going on.

Another thing I've been considering is actually starting another story. Something more lighthearted and not as convoluted as DxD. I'm leaning more towards Monster Musume as I feel pretty comfortable being able to write something regarding that series. Don't get me wrong, I'll still continue Son Of A Stray. It has its issues, but writing it can be fun. It's just that I might begin something that doesn't concern mythologies, huge fights, and depressing backstories. So yeah, there's that.

Once again, thank you all for being so faithful to this series. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up. But know that I haven't abandoned this series! Thanks again!
