《Hit The Road, Jack!》Hit The Road, Jack! : Hit Get Serious Already, Jack!
Advertisement
Jack had been lazing around for three years already.
At first, the game devs thought they would need to restrain some of his actions, since the game wouldn’t progress to the point were a dragon king would be defeatabable by players so soon.
Still, Jack was even more of a NEET than they initially thought. For almost a year all he did was to stay back at his den at Dragon King Island, digging the mountain for gold and gems.
Then, as they greatly slowed his mountains’ gem and gold spawning rate, they expected for him to finally add some fun to the game - the Demon King had been able to survive the game addiction as well and amassed huge forces in order to start once of the Player-Patchs the Game Planning Department expected to come soon: Draconic Wars!
The idea would be for the Demon King to invade the regions under Jacks’ influence and them begin an in-game war.
The devs didn’t want to have to plan things up - one could claim land and build things in the game, and the human, elven and so on kingdoms had been at war for a long time now.
But if the game didn’t have any big fantasy elements, such as an epic Ultimate-MOB-Party battle, then things would remain petty forever.
Of course, they also didn’t want to force Jack into it, but…
- As I thought, it’s useless - Davin, the head of the Devs team, had to sigh, dejected.
- How’s the dragon king plot fairing, Davin? - A cold, metallic voice could be heard from his desk.
He had the tech to listen to the other party as clearly as crystal, but he just liked the metallic sound of old speakers.
- Bad. He hasn’t moved at all, Boss.

This was none else but Sussana, Shabe Newells secretary and second-in-comand of the Another World Project.
- Deal with it. Check with Rodin if things are good, and, if they are, go on.
- Sure thing.
Davin sighed again, more dejected than ever.
- Say, Boss, are you sure about this? I mean, it’s a big change.
- If Rodin agrees, then its’ time. Besides, Squeam has beta-tested it already, and the responses where pretty good. Go on with it.
-… sure.
Davin didn’t want it. He didn’t want for Another World to become a pay-to-win game, even if one had to pay not Squeam, but, rather, other players.
- As it is, it’s inevitable that big shots will be only those with a golden spoon in their mouths, uh…
Even though Squeam officialy didn’t allow for offline purchases between players, like selling gold for cash, in reality everyone knew it happened and the company had a few fingers in it too.
Gold Rush World, the main site for buying and selling ingame itens, indeed, belonged to a subsidiary of a subsidiary of Squeam.
A portion of all sales would end up in Shabens’ pockets, so it was a good thing for it to happen.
But it was bad to game balancing, so it was officially banned.
- Hi, Trevor. Connect me with Rodin if you may.
- Sure.
Trevor was Rodin’s secretary, and also second-in-charge of the Marketing and Statistics division of Another World Project. He would deal with most matters, but this was a discussion of Head-of-Department level, so he obediently stood aside.
- Davin? What’s up?
- The boss ordered it, Robin. Let’s go full pay-to-win mode, so, get me the specifics, would yah?
- I said it already, it isn’t pay-to-win, and it isn’t full! It will even increase the realism of the game !
Davin rolled his eyes.

Trial by Conquest: A Battle-Royale, Civilisation Build-Off LitRPG
This is the Trial by Conquest — a battle-royale, civilisation, build-off. Lose and you die. Win and you rule over your new fantasy world as king! Maximus Rum would rather not die. In fact, right now what he’d most rather is find his pants and figure out what the hell is going on. The beach he woke up on is empty and quiet. But he’d better get a move on. The Trial has already begun. Note: I am not intending to write this as a harem story. However, if you believe that a man knowing and having sex with women constitutes a harem, and if that is not your bag, please consider this your warning. Genre: A village-building, dungeoncrawling, LitRPG — taking inspiration from games such as HoMM, Civilization, ANNO, TotalWar, Warcraft, and others. Tone: Mostly 'hell, yeah!' fun with occasional dips into darkness. May contain: Violence, combat, fights, etc. Sexual humour, references, descriptions, and debatably non-explicit acts. Moral ambiguity and occasional sophistication. Nuts.

Michael De Arria has recently been crowned as the emperor to the Divine Empire of Arria. Upon being crowned he quickly has to face the looming threat of a two sided war. The Allonian Empire has backed the Kingdom of Aveven in their war to defend their territory while the Yanzhou Dynasty watches with greedy eyes waiting for the perfect time to strike. Not only does Michael have to worry about outside threats but he must quell inner threats as well. Giovanni, Chancellor and previous regent of Arria, has accumulated large amounts of wealth and influence in the east during the regency while a possible pretender for the throne sits waiting in the west. But let others worry for you, lucky Arria, shall marry.__________________________________________________________________________________________________The art work is not mine.

8 142The Orphan and the Thief
From the very beginning it was all Toad’s fault. A blundering, quick-talking thief, he was the one who cut a deal with the dangerous Edward P. Owl: track down the ingredients to the Seeking Solution, or else. Twenty-five thousand gorents, he’d said to her. That was all it took for Melena, a lonely orphan with a knack for potions, to pack her bags and join in on the quest. From the majestic forest of Holly-Harp Wood to the labyrinth caves of Dunthur to the frigid waters of the Blackens, they search for Owl’s ingredients. Toad and Melena must face sea dragons, cave monsters, birds as large as wagons, kidnappers, and thieves. Toad’s in it to save his head – cross Owl and start digging your own grave. Melena’s in it to get paid so she can start a new life, one that includes her missing brother. But you really can’t trust thieves. The Orphan and the Thief is also available on Kindle and in paperback via Amazon.com. Thanks for reading!

8 222With You [Cannon Kuroo x reader]
You are a manager for the Karasuno the volleyball team, along with Kiyoko. When you met the captain of the Nekoma, Kuroo Tetsuro, at a practice game, life became more interesting. Read to see what happens when you two meet again at a training camp.(Absolutely no angst because only happy thoughts. Cannon Kuroo, because fandom Kuroo is sorta toxic. Please read, comment, share, and vote for no reason.)P.S: Y/N does not play a sport, not at all. (The reason why is that I hate sports and I've seen to much of the sporty girl x Kuroo. I wanted something different and everyone seems to think that Y/N is a fit person with some attitude, especially with those Kuroo x readers. I wanted Y/N to be normal and nice with no attitude and no sass. Thanks for listening to me rant. Oh and sorry if you're fit this fanfic works for you too and you're beautiful too.)
