《Hit The Road, Jack!》Hit the Road, Jack! : Hit Creating an Island!

[- Sigh..]
In the end, Jack could only settle for the sea.
All highest-level dungeons already had powerful people controlling them, and the Goblin Emperor’s strategy guide on how to take down a guy like him had became common place already.
Except for the fact that it would be almost impossible for the average player to become the Dungeon Master of such a dungeon, everyone was well aware of how to deal with Jack menaces.
As for smaller-leveled dungeons…
[- ONLY THAT?!]
Any amount of gold produced on dungeons bellow the highest level just couldn’t satiate him. Even when he saturated them with huge amounts of mana, their exchange ratio was kind of crappy. Also, why was there a half-orc dungeon master cursing him? It must be because he crashed through the ceiling and made him lost some exp.
[ - Don’t worry, I won’t take this dungeon for myself. It’s too cramped in here.]
Jack said, taking flight. Under his feet, the little orc whimpered *sob sob* -mother, father, sister and now brother as well…-
So, the only option for Jack would be the one he wanted to make happen the least. And that is because…
[ - Aaah, it’s a buttload of work after all…]
Jack was sweating profusely while holding back his anxiety. His dragon aura was at the maximum output he could produce, while his mouth was kept hung open.
As he used his breath attack on the sea, something bizarre happened - the multitude of elements in it started to not only evaporate the water, but to create bizarre effects as well.
The fact was that Jack had perfect control of which dragon breath he intended to use - the ultimate attacks White Breath of Light and Black Breath of Dark were different combinations of his elemental attacks, while the literally game-breaking Void Breath was the combination of both.

Of course, he couldn’t carelessly use the Void Breath - and not only due to the weakening curse on his body, but it was actually a move on the Admins’ side. This thing could erase even game code and transform parts of the game on literally a “Void full of Energy”, so it had been disabled until some later pach kicked in.
Now, Jack was using not the White or Dark breaths, but actually a combination of different breaths at different angles - like a cone.
At the outermost part of the cone, a great ice breath froze the sea. Then, the fire breath coming from the middle transformed the frozen water in vapor, which would then be blown away by the wind breath.
As the fire breath reached the bottom of the sea, some three hundred meters below the sea level, it would then be replaced by the lava breath, which would then start melting the outer layer of the ice cone.
As the lava breath filled the ice cone, Jack then would change his position in the air, allowing for the ice cone to grow in radius, therefore opening space for the lava breath to create a bigger pillar of burning lava.
Eventually, after finishing to create four inter-connected big pillars of lava with a big lake in the center, Jack stopped this kind of breath attack and begun to evaporate the seawater in the middle of the four rock pillars.
Since the pillars were interconnected but not fully merged, he only evaporated around 30m of seawater, and, then, started to pour in fresh water with his water breath attack.
The fashion was similar to the one he used to create the pillars - ice on the outer edge of the cone, wind in the middle, and now, water on the center.

The water which came from his mouth, however, wasn’t regular water. Imbued with lots of magic, the boiling water came together with a huge amount of little bubbles mana - which would normally ignite in contact with skin in a fashion were not even by jumping in the water you would be able to stop the fire - in fact, it would become even stronger, just like a napalm bomb.
The small mana bubbles, however, didn’t hit skin, but the seawater below. As Jack filled the crater with his water breath, the little mana bubbles ignited in contact with the salt, sand and other impurities in the water, effectively burning them at a madly great speed.
Normally, much of this fused and boiling material would just boil and be released on the surface - however, with the pressure of Jack’s breath coming from above, the material had to scape to the sides of the island.
Soon, huge deposits of crystalline elements began to form at the outer edges of the pillars and walls that connected them.
There were many compounds there, and some were bound to be poisonous. Hundreds of thousands of fish had already been burnt to a crisp by Jack, but now, another hundreds of fish and sea monsters began to float at the edges of the island…
[ - There, this is enough for today.]
Jack had finished his initial plan - by creating a mix of wind and ice on the outer edges of his cone breath attack, with boiling water in the middle, he managed to create a fresh-water lake in the middle of his new island.
[ - Woah… woah!]
Then, he descended on it. For his surprise, the island immediately began to sway left to right.
[- Damn]
His pillars of rock had made the island heavy, but that wasn’t enough to keep it on the bottom of the sea. It had become a frail boat in the middle of the ocean.
What was left to do?
Well, Jack had to reinforce the overall structure, as well as harden the intersections between his pillars of rock - making them stronger.
Even if he wanted to rest, there was still work to do…

Adventurer Book II - Dawn of an Empire Short story prequel- The Lurking Lair: An Adventuer Series Short Story Summary for the LitRPG savvy reader: Looking for a LitRPG that is more tabletop traditional role playing game and less MMORPG? This is probably your cup of tea. Long term progression with a heavy slice of life element. Strong mix and inclusion of ancient Greek life, values, and myths. Hence, the world can be a bit more harsh and brutish than modern sensibilities. The system is tangible and knowable beyond the MC's insights. The MC is more of an everyman than someone specifically chosen for the experience. Author's Note: This is my debut novel. Up until this point, the only thing I have written of comparable length has been non-fiction and related to history. I am immensely grateful to all the folks who have given me feedback and helped me improve my writing.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
