<p>DUST KNIGHTS: BOOK 1</p> <p>Story:Excalibur, the massive tower of Hi-Tech lies in the middle of the desert, providing wireless electricity and energy to everyone inside the kingdom of Camelot.Outside the realm, in the Far West, raiders and warlords compete for the scarce resources left, after civilization crumbled because of a long-forgotten cataclysm.Mutated creatures roam the deserts and the wasteland, populating settlements abandoned centuries ago.The Withering, the strange genetic disease that plagues the world, grows stronger with each new generation, menacing the world with the extinction of humans.The Dust Knights, the order of men and women who swore an Oath of Chivalry protect the realm with their Hi-Tech armors, unparalleled in combat.But the discovery of ancient laboratories buried deep beneath the ground will change forever the Wasteland: the search for the Holy Grail, the cure for the Withering, will provoke a clash that will shatter the frail peace between different factions and the Dust Knights.Will they succeed? Is it the Holy Grail? What secrets lie inside Excalibur?</p> <p>The genre:Think of Mad Max with King Arthur, adding a mix of advanced sci-fi (lasers and plasma)I considered making this story Gamelit or LitRPG, but it evolved into something different.Read the first chapters and see if you like it or not. I would appreciate any comment.</p> <p>Release schedule:The first batch will be around 6k-7k words. I could write more than 8k words a day, but since I have a day job, I will be only capable of writing around 1k-2k words a day. This will mean that I could release a few chapters each week. I plan on releasing a couple of pieces every Friday and Wednesday.</p> <p>Transparency:I do not know how to draw, but I know Photoshop. The covers and any other art "made" by me will be a mashup of different AI-generated art. If there is anyone who wants to release fan art, I would gladly share it with everyone and try to make the artist reach more people.I'm fluent in Spanish and English, but my main language is Spanish, making it the best to write a first draft. I use Chat-GPT to make a fast and first translation of Spanish to English. Then, I make some tweaks and change some words, besides formatting.</p> <p>Final words:I wanted to release this series on Amazon to make money. I don't need money now, I have a decent job and I can live with what I have. What I want is to share stories with others and create a community around the stories I create and love.Finally, I'm sorry for this massive wall of text.I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing it.</p>
