《Hit The Road, Jack!》Hit the Road, Jack!: Hit the Server Update!

*Attention all players, a new game mode will be implemented soon. All NPC employees will be moved to this new game mode. Servers are up for taking. Good luck and sorry for the inconvenience. *
[- Eyah, did you hear that, babe?]
Jack used his husband-wife telepathic phone (Bonus Marriage Pack, $450 on pre-order) to contact Elicia while, at the same time, wallowing in the (now destroyed) dungeons’ gold-and-jewels filled collapsed treasure vault.
- Yes, I did. Now, could you please not talk with your mouth full?
Dragons liked gold on all ways. They would rub it on their bodies, wallow in it, chew it, swallow, fall face-first in a huge gold mountain…
[- Ah, common, you’re digging too!]
- At least I’m not a pig!
Elicia, indeed, had been excavating her den for gold and jewels. However, her calm and lady-like (as much as digging a hole with one’s claws could be lady-like) behavior was totally different from her husbands’
[ - Hey, what about the patch notes then? Want to read them together while we grab something to eat?]
- Seems nice. “Jack and Rose”?
[ - Sure! See yah!]
Another World wasn’t great just because of its NPCs’. Both Jack and Elisa had regular gaming avatars which they would play as sometimes.
It was a must in this new Another World era, were instead of going to a happy hour after work, people would go home, login on the game and go to a in-game tavern or bar…
Poor bar and restaurant owners in the real world had been having a really though time recently.
Anyway, as new game patches changed a lot of things in the game, players would routinely get together to read it while enjoying the real world a bit.

Squeam private cafeteria #5, “The Jack and the Rose”, private-owned building.
Jack and Elicia came to their regular eating place together. This was a small cafeteria which they gave to a friend as a present.
As for why they would come all the way here instead of eating in the employees’ cafeteria…
Well, let’s just say that most employees had a though time seeing Jacks’ face after some of his Wandering and Pillaging.
[- Say babe, can I go and see little Johanna later?]
As the new game patch would turn all working stations unusable for 24hours, the employees would have a day off.
- No.
[- Common, babe!]
- I said no. A punishment wouldn’t be a punishment if I let you do as you please.
Elicia would come to work at Squeam Headquarters every day, and then return home afterwards.
That would be a huge cost for a regular employee, but she was a dragoness dungeon master.
She had privileges and those were more than enough to pay for an Squeam-Automatic-Aero-Car (something like a cableway without cables) to get her to and from work.
It wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t too expensive either. Just right for her.
[-….]
Jack felt crestfallen.
- Auch. You’re in trouble.
[- What’ya mean?]
- Look.

Another World Game Patch number 31: Robin Hood
The worlds’ mana is diminishing! Gaya can no longer feed its sons and daughters with infinite plenitude!
Due to Squeams’ policy of infinite-gold mining, the game items have become a little bit too pricey for those who hit lower-mid and mid-levels.
That’s why, for now on, materials shall no longer be infinitely mined!
All of the gold mines and A.I. controlled dungeons in the game will have their natural gold re-spawn rates reduced to zero, meaning they will become one-time-only consumables!

Dungeon masters will have to work for their gold and jewels, but dungeons will retain the abilities of level 100 alchemists - as long as they absorb enough mana, creating and transforming items will be possible!
Be warned that this is also true for Magical Forests and Haunted Castles - if you overhunt the monsters there, it will be a while before the forest produces more.
Unnaceptabable, you say?
Then, how about becoming a Dungeon Master yourself?!***
That’s right. The current A.I. controlled dungeons will be available for the taking!**
Work hard and become a vicious villain, a ruthless merchant or a great benefactor!*
As for those players who unlocked the Alchemist Skill Tree and have their eyes set on the ability to turn metals into gold, be warned that Gaya shall no longer make your wonders easier on the mind, body and spirit! Gold Transmutation will require not only more materials, but also a higher level to be performed. Alchemists must reach proficiency level 50 before being able to unlock this skill and the other ones which follow, such as Mana Crystal generation. The “All Creation” skill remains set at level 100 - work hard and maybe you will be able to get there!
All players with the Alchemist Skill Tree shall receive one Skill-Tree-Reset jade as compensation for the changes made in this patch.

8 170The Arcanist Seer
An eye of which sees everything beyond the skies and heavens saw an embodying fate with reek of blood and greed. He who sees the future and yet is restrained by his own shackles of his destiny. An eye that serves a purpose but nothing in exchange for his freedom. Will he remain as a tool of his adversary or escape from his own shackles of fate? This is a story of two old men trying to free from the shackle of their destiny set in a future only to await their impending doom. This is a story of a dead god, and of a storyteller, trying to break from the bonds of the past. And as their stories go, one of them will face the events that unfold in their distant past, as the other one will unveil its mystery predicted by its future. Is it a mistake to challenge fate, after all? *** The world-building is set upon on the universal scale, with dungeon and old-style fantasy. It has a progression that follows with the consistency of a dungeon setting, although it's not what you call a dungeon, but a function of a crystal. There's a lot to take in this novel, but that's all within my intention. I have always enjoyed challenging conventional ideas. The cover is not mine, it's just temporary.

8 87Re: (Union//Incarnation)
Two years ago, a meteor fell and decimated the southeastern lands of Gaia, turning them into wastelands constantly shrouded in white fog. None of those who saw the blazing calamity with their own eyes lived to tell the tale, and those who attempted to venture in never came back. Since then, towers, caverns, and ruins have appeared and disappeared without a pattern. Those who were brave enough to venture in were rewarded with a partner capable of defying the natural laws as humanity knows it. People started to call them ‘Incarnation’, and before long, more and more Incarnation were gathered and sold as commodity, especially after a billionaire has sponsored a fighting tournament offering cash prizes to those possessing the strongest Incarnation, spurring the greedy and desperate to hunt for the fabled creatures at the cost of their lives. Claire Saphira wanted none of that. She simply wished for a life where she could live without worry of her own survival. As she ran from the debt collectors for the umpteenth time, she was swallowed by an errant tower, where she saw a frail, pale-skinned girl with ashen hair hung by chains. It was a chance, a chance to participate in the tournament and live without worrying about survival. Yet, something nagged in the back of her mind. Why did she look so familiar? Planned release schedule: One chapter every day for Mon-Fri, and a break on Sat-Sun. The release will slow down at some point, but most likely won't go under 3 chapters a week.
