After Aiden and Bruce's pitch was successful and it was finalised that Vikings publishing was going to issue the first chapter to critics and the audience, things went pretty quickly.
Bruce was almost unable to believe that his comic was going to be published. He had already given up on it.
But Aiden told him to keep his legs on the ground for now.
The fate of the series was going to be decided by the readers and reception. They had only gotten the pass to participate in the race, they had not won it yet.
Bruce understood his advice and didn't show a lot of emotions, using them to create better work.
At the same time, as the project was under Vikings publishing, they quickly made a contract for Aiden while Bruce became an employee of the publishing company.
