《Hit The Road, Jack!》Hit The Road, Jack! : Hit the Jackpot!

- Jack, no last name given. Is it you?
Hahah. Yeah, it’s me!
But, what now?
Everyone else received weird stuff as jobs!
I thought we were going to be playing the game, like, I don’t know, as testers or something?
But this is the real deal, isn’t it?
Haha…
Everyone else was, like “you will be the guild master”, “you will be the demon lord”, “you will be the seraphim…”. Are we the NPC’s ?!!
And everyone here is a high-grading NPC as well…
Could it be that i… hit the jackpot on my first try ?!
- Well, Jack is it… we didn’t meant to give this kind of job to someone with a curriculum like yours but… for some reasons, we did. Even if, thinking about it, you may be actually good at it, given your instincts and so on.
What is it?
Are you going to make me a King ? Or a reclusive noble? Anything that lets me just laze around all day would be great!
- You will be the Dragon King.
… eh?
…
I mean, nice, dragons but…
Don’t they have to hunt for food?
And build their own homes?
And hoard treasure and stuff?!
ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE ME WORK ?!
No… please, no… give me a job as a corrupt noble or something, please…
I might cry like this, you know…
- I see you are quite surprised, but we came to the conclusion that this would be the best job for you. Since the Dragon King is a Max Level Party Quest MOB, you will have minimum work to do. You just need to find yourself a Den, hunt sometimes to eat and lay low.
[ - Wait. A moment please.]
I raised my hand.
- Yes ?
[- Can… can I have some kind of entertainment or something like that? I mean, if I’m going to be alone on my house all day, I might get bored and...]

- Oh, don’t worry, you will have plenty of entertainment.
[ - Really?!]
- Of course. Another World is a place were your mind is placed on an artificial body after all. You will have all the sensations and senses of a Dragon King, and that includes the urge to plunder treasure. While logged in Another World you will surely feel an unstoppable desire to get as much gold, gems and so on as possible. Shouldn’t this provide you with enough entertainment for years?
Ha…. I might cry for real this time, you know…
- So, now that this is explained, please remember what Shabe said about the NPC’s do and don’ts. I cannot reinforce how extremely important it is for you to follow the whole list.
[- The… whole list you say?]
- Obviously. Now, the time of introduction has ended, so if you might..
The Samanta woman showed me a door to my left, so I just went there.
I guess I can talk to other people later, so they will tell me what are those NPC’s do and don’ts…
Yeah, it will be easy. I just need to find someone else who’s also an NPC like me!

THE SPACE LEGACY
-= New chapter every Wednesday! =- What would you do if you found an ancient spaceship? Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran who had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which allowed his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wants to spend some time in his grandfather's mountain cabin to unwind away from the drudgery of daily life with a cold beer in his hands. Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, a suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, terrorists... and this is just the beginning. What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or… call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens. Can he become more than he had ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be while righting a few wrongs of the modern world. He is sure of three things: 1. He really doesn’t want to follow the rules anymore... aside from his own. 2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him. 3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about will rue the day they were born. You do not always get what you wish for… sometimes, you get one hell of a lot more. --- “Really entertaining, and a promising future.” - RR Reviewer “Good old sci-fi novel” - RR Reviewer “Sci-fi with a realistic MC” - RR Reviewer “Wow, seriously... just wow” - RR Reviewer “I'm hooked!” - RR Reviewer “A well crafted story.” - RR Reviewer “A Sci-fi Novel I can appreciate” - RR Reviewer “This is f....ing good.” - RR Reviewer -------------------------------------------------- Advance chapters available on Patreon -------------------------------------------------- The original art for the cover picture was made by N.

Sidhe Academy: Avatar
War on the horizon. A realm struggling for Balance. A boy in the crossfire. Saemus' life with his family was good if you ignored the strange voices he could hear whispering quests to him that alienated him from the rest of his small village, but the Middling Forest in the Fae Realm is a harsh place and his family is able to get by with the other elves in the area. But when an attack on the village prompts his parents to fight and he sees something strange following them, he's thrust into the war between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts for the rights to the bounties of his homeland. Conscripted into service years before he should have even been considered ready to fight, Saemus is meant to attend the prestigious Sidhe Academy, where the two courts' newest generations of warriors train and learn. Saemus will need all the power he can manage if he is to navigate the political games that lay ahead, and figure out how to survive what is coming. Because this academy is a war zone that only leads to another. ** Sexual content warning for a potentially bothersome event. Nothing explicit. Thank you.***

Come along, oh dear traveller... To Anno, a world hiding legendary secrets worthy of your exploration. For it is the year 1623 S.T. The year it all began. ...

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
