《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.

Jack

In a modern society where monsters hide among humans and creatures of myth stalk an unusually gifted boy as he rapidly ascends in power, aided by the most destructive and least predictable force in this, or any universe. Blessed with the power of a deceased goddess, follow Jack’s rise to becoming the newest god of love.

SWTOR: The Alpha Legacy - Alexandra 'Under the Black'
This was the first character backstory and first full story in The Old Republic era after 'Project Alpha: A Summary: 'Old Republic to Current Operational Era'. This one was actually written much later. Several of the full stories were done and there was a need to introduce the Mother of several of the main characters. Much later on I started a timeline and this seemed to fit nowhere else, but right after the introduction story: Alexandra De'nabre lost everything on one of the moons of Felucia. But life found her again. As a Mirialan Jedi, she was sworn to the Unity and to the Force; casting both away once she believed both left her. The Force finds her again. And brings her back a part of her life she believed she lost. Her children. But in a cruel twist of fate, the very Republic she once defended is suddenly out to get her. Not because in her new life as an infamous pirate she committed crimes against them. The children she lost are now wards of the Republic and a special project called: Alpha. And they will stop at nothing to keep Alexandra from reclaiming them.
