《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!

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.
