IMPORTANT NOTE: I spelled my own website wrong, lol, I thought it ended with .net, but neocities is actually a .org website. So the proper address is: uluscri.neocities.org for the main landing page of the site, but if you wanna skip to the part about From Nothing to Us, the link to click is: https://uluscri.neocities.org/from-nothing/from-nothing-to-us.html
