“Not good enough. Not everyone made it back,” Alex said.
“Yeah. That sucks. I know you liked the guy.”
“He took me and Casey in when we first got here. Helped us get out feet under ourselves, even if he did try and make some zenni along the way. Without him, none of us would be knights.” Alex allowed himself a long sigh. He didn't have time to mourn Simian properly, not at the moment. “Speaking of good jobs, this is looking, well…good.”
Alex gestured to the construction site. Erwin, with the help of Hir'Six and his crew, had set up the frame against which the new Star would be built. A scaffold had been erected, along with the basic shape of the airship in a skeleton of wood, one that would be reinforced with the scrap to form the final shape. The uninflated balloon was draped over the top like a cloth over a table.
“Well, you wouldn’t believe the trouble we had. I’ll tell you this, you know the idea that the infinite is empty? Dead wrong.”
“You'll have to tell me sometime,” Alex said.
“Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time as we put this thing together. Grab a hammer and let's get started.”
A message from the Author
First, I want to give you, the reader, a huge thank you from me for reading this book. Aether Knight was written as part of a contest on the subreddit r/Redditserials. The title and cover was assigned to competitors semi-randomly, and we were asked to write a ten thousand word short story.
Obviously, I did a little bit more than that, turning Aether Knight into a light novel. I actually went even further than that, and you’re holding one of the sequels to that book in your hands now. Writing this has been a lot of fun, and I hope that comes through in the writing. I wanted to be a little bit different than most litRPGs and base it more on my personal favourite online games, one’s that, if I’m honest, are pretty obvious to anyone who has played them.
Please consider leaving a review. It makes a huge difference to the success of a book. It takes just five seconds of your time but could make all the difference to an author.
There’s more to come from Alex and Casey, so keep your eyes peeled for Aether Knight: Retribution, out soon.
