《Hit The Road, Jack!》Hit the Road, Jack: Hit Wanting To Do Something!

[-aaaah… damnit maaan!]
Jack rolled restlessly on his treasure vault.
- What is it hon?
As for Elicia, she enjoyed herself by melting some of the raw gold around and then chewing on the rubbery liquid she would get afterwards.
Jacks’ punishment for his fooling around had been to share his treasure with Elicia. Now what was his was also hers, but what was hers wasn’t his!
Jack felt like crying every time he looked at how his wife appreciated his gold piles. Thankfully, allowing her access to his vault was more of a proof of love than something like greed overcoming sadness.
After all, managing to repress his instincts to such level was only thanks to his determination to grind enough levels to overcome his difficulties.
He had even managed to train for three hours a day, instead of just two, and so, advanced enough to be able to let her have some fun with his blink - as long as the treasure never left the vault, of course.
[- I want to do a thing!]
Elicia raised her brows.
- So… do it?
[- But I don’t want to!]
- *sigh* Don’t do it then…
Jack kept rolling on his bed for a bit, and then started to stare at the ceiling.
[- I wanted to get a bunch of people together and chat about player magic with them! And I want them to pay me!]
- Well, find a suitable theme then. Something like Shabes’ Will?
Jack and Elicia could access the old User Interface through their own powers and positions in the world - however, that wasn’t all. With a little deeper concentration and focus, it would become possible to, little by little, enter higher stages of command over the world.
It was like getting Moderation, Administration or even Deep Code permissions. That was called Shabes’ Will. Jack was fascinated with that, since this kind of thing became stronger the more one progressed on the knowledge and absorption of the code itself.

As long as someone upped their levels and stats to a high enough degree, they would be able to start seeing, and then influencing, the Code.
It seemed to have something to do with the amount of Fairy Dust which was in contact with ones’ mind, so, it was no surprise for those highly-magical, top-level existences like he and Elicia to be able to do so on instinct - even if both of them, and Jack himself, had some trouble dealing with the code.
None were programmers, after all.
[- Maybe. Do you think we would have anyone who’s interested? I’m no programmer after all… at best I could teach them little tricks or something? Like how to access ones’ configuration setup?]
- That would CERTAINLY bring in a lot of people. You should do it.
Through the configuration menu, people could do a lot of things - like changing their graphics preferences.
It would seem weird, but they were former players, after all. Changing the HUDs’ or the Graphics Brightness was a major headache for those who had barely enough levels to access the User Interface - and a huge source of headaches for those who couldn’t do it at all.
- By the way, how about charging for changing peoples’ configurations yourself hon? Or maybe for allocating their stats for them? You could make a lot of mana with that.
[- Meeeeh….]
Jack rested his chin on his paws, and then began rolling on the gold again.
Elicia felt like that her liver was particularly sensitive to Jacks’ laziness these days, as it hurt a little.
‘Must be because of the whole Squirrel thing.’ - Then again, molten gold powder was one of the best drinks to help alleviate a dragons’ anger, so she just took a good gulp and released a small ‘phew’ sound afterwards.
As for Jacks’ lessons on Shabes’ Will, he decided to implement them later that day. And then, later that week after that.

No Absolution, An Antagonist LitRPG
Colin is bored out of his skull and has been getting more and more restless of late, and his wife, McKenna, has noticed. To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future. On his first day in the game, he's betrayed for loot, killed, and even made to suffer. Unknown to these players, Colin (DevilWalker in-game) was an Assassin for hire that takes loyalty and betrayal seriously. It was never just about business, and this was not just another aspect of the game for him. This game was a gift from his wife, and he wasn't just going to stop. Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.
8 506The Elements: Silver Coin Saga - Book 1
Death comes with the Harvest. Salvation lies in the Valley of the Moon, along the path of Martial Magic. Xan always assumed he would be apprenticed to an herbalist in the sleepy village of Mogu and follow the Path of Peace, just like his father before him. It is the way—has always been the way. But when his village is sacked by a raiding force of vicious monsters, corrupted by dark Qi, life as Xan knows it is over. Family dead. Villagers slain. His home burnt to ash. Now, all Xan wants to do is figure out why his people were targeted and get revenge on the merciless creatures sweeping across the continent like a plague of locusts. Spreading their vile corruption. His only hope at salvation and retribution lies in the Valley of the Moon, at the fabled Xing Yi School of Martial Magic. If he is to succeed, he will need to learn to cultivate the energy of the elements, hone his martial and crafting skills, and complete the school’s harsh tests and trials. It will take more than a passing grade at this school, though, and not all that fail survive the experience…
8 103Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.

A guy who played a sci-fi VRMMORPG was thrown in another world. And no, the other world doesn't have game mechanics. Nothing serious. Occasional updates, when I feel like it. Mature content.
