Hello, dear readers.

I wanted to take a moment to share some news about *Solo Gamer*. After much consideration, I’ve decided to place the story on hiatus for the time being. This decision wasn’t an easy one, but it’s something I feel is necessary right now.

The main reason for this pause is a lack of responses. Writing is a journey that thrives on engagement and feedback, and while I’ve deeply enjoyed crafting Endo Takahashi’s adventures in Aethera, I need some time to reflect on the story’s direction and next steps. I’m not ruling out the possibility of picking this project back up in the future, but for now, I’ll be taking a step back.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

To everyone who has taken the time to read and follow along so far, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means so much, and I truly appreciate every moment you’ve spent with this story.

Until next time—whether that’s in *Aethera* or another world—thank you and take care.
