《Hit The Road, Jack!》Hit the Road, Jack! : Hit ‘Please don’t disturb’!

*snore* *snore*
Jack was sleeping. He had been for over seventy hours already.
- Damnit…
As for Elicia, she had been trying to wake him up, to no avail.
Let’s return a few days in the past.
***
[- Babe, I’m off to take a nap, aye?]
- Uhm? Sure…
It was at that moment. When realization struck Elicia, she couldn’t do anything about it anymore.
In-game characters would have their brains cleared of any cloudiness after logging off. Not mattering what was written about their sleeping habits, like elves entering a state of trance or dwarves sleeping like logs, to the point of it being possible for someone to cut one of their legs off and not disturbing them in the slightest, it didn’t matter.
Once one logged off, their avatars would disappear and, at the time they came back to the game, these same avatars would be “brought back to life” with totally refreshed brains. Having to sleep in-game would be way to boring, after all.
So, everyone would sleep at least once a day, that is, when the fluid on the chambers they were using was exchanged.
But now, well…
***
Elicia sighed helplessly.
Dragons were a race which had a very strongly built biological clock. They would wake up, eat, play around, mate, and then sleep for a long time.
That was the basic description of the dragon race, and their brains would be wired as such.
So, it didn’t really mater what she did, Elicia just couldn’t wake him up. Jack was done for good. And the worst part was…
“As a dragon increases in age and strength, its’ periods of sleeping and awakening become larger”
So, given his status, Jack might even sleep on for years without end. What to say years… both had been awoken for months already, not even the smallest sign of tiredness on their eyes.

What if he slept on and on for centuries?
Of course, since he was in human form, those cycles would be altered. The very fact of him being able to nap was such a thing. Dragons usually don’t nap. They sleep, or not.
However, the only form to wake a sleeping dragon, well…
- I’m sorry, little one. But I cannot have this brick head sleep forever. Greater Compulsion. Go and rob some gold from your husbands’ pockets.
Elicia patted the shoulders of Jacks’ first wife, the squirrel-woman, and sent her in a one-way trip to Jacks’ treasure vault.
Dragons could be awoken if someone were to mess with their valuables, the problem was…
*ROOOAAAARRRRRRR!*
They would do so while immersed on a furious rage, it would be impossible to control them without a level 100 mind-pacifying spell.
Of course, that was for regular dragons, not dragon kings.
- I need to grind more… - The dragoness thought to herself, fully aware that she may have to resort to getting a level 100 mind-related skill in order to resist the fury of being suddenly awoken by thieves and philanderers.
After all, losing ones’ conscientiousness and entering a murderous rampage wasn’t a good thing at all.
- Maybe with ‘Cycle of Endless Reincarnation’…
*SQUEEEEEEEE!*
So, as Elicia thought about the Ultimate skill on the ‘Daoist Priest’ skill tree as a viable option to reach the enlightenment needed to resist her draconic urges, a pitiful scream sounded.
- May you rest in pieces, I mean, peace. - Said Jacks’ now First Wife, as she prayed for her now deceased fellow harem member.

Origin
A group of college students find the last known warship from the Imperium, which came to Earth and started civilisation millenia ago. They will have to repair the ship, launch it back to space and then decide what to do with it. Will they restore the empire? Explore the galaxy? Or get up to unspeakably hilarious hijinks..... This is my first work, so please comment and critique as much as possible. This work is being migrated from Webnovel to Royal Road cause RR has a muuuuch better text editor and formatting options. I aim to release five chapters a week unless this catches on. In which case I'm happy to increase the release schedule up to 2 chapters a day based on readership.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
