"You know Jack most people would've made a phone call and not blast a hole in a wall right!?" An aggitated voice yelled.
"I knocked on the door but you didn't awnser. Besides is that any way to treat a guest Kaz?" Jack asked.
"You're the exception Jack." Kaz responded coldly.
"Well I would say i'm sorry but i'm not. Besides given the nature of the job, I needed to find you quickly Kaz"Jack said as he walked though the wall. "Not many people are offered a once in a lifetime opportunity". "Besides I think you'll be on board with what I'm about to offer." Jack said.
"Whatever shit you're on Jack, you can take it and your goofy ass far away from here". Kaz yelled back at jack "I told you I was done after what happend in Caracuss." "We're lucky uncle sam decided to go after bigger fish and not put us in the citadel or a black site". Kaz said without emotion.
"We made our luck that day Kaz, besides i've got an job that will make us famous around the world whether we pull it off or not." "We'll be the first people to be known to make an attempt at it. Jack said. "I can't do it by myself and you know I don't like sharing private jobs".
"The job is robbing Fo-" Jack was saying before he was cut off.
"Jack didn't you hear what I just said? I told you I'm done! I don't care what it is. I just want to be left alone and to never see your ugly mug again. My regret was not shooting you in the face the moment you got us kicked out of West Point". So whatever the job is Jack, you can go find another pilot to help you with it.
"The job is robbing the black chip from Fort Knox." Jack said proudly.

"See Jack, you're just as foolish as your brother. He would take the most suicidal jobs possible and then go into hiding to keep the spoils for himself. You know why he's dead? Because he didn't understand why nobody ever took those kinds of jobs. Most clients would put a bounty on you and have you killed the moment you walked through their front door." Kaz said quickly in a condecnsending tone.
"Kaz the next time you mention my brother, i'm going tie you upside down and skin you alive." Jack said in a calm but annoyed tone. "The reason I'm asking you, is because you're my ace and I've got a plan that I know will work. I've got an insider that told me that there's at least one black chip there and the best time to go after it." Jack said whilst staring Kaz in the eyes.
"I'll give you some time to think about the job Kaz, also take into consideration how many times I've saved your ass". "I could've sold you outright and not think much about it." Jack said in a weird happy tone."I consider you a professional and a friend Kaz."Jack said as he walked over to Kaz and held out a wad of cash.
"Now here's some cash to fix the hole and I'll contact you tomorrow to see if you're in or out. If you're in I'll make sure your cut is twenty percent. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to find the old crew and offer them a role in this job." Jack said as he put the wad of money onto a corner of a table.
"Do you even have the slightest cue as to where Rob; Sarah,Tyson and Conner are? Rob went to Las Vegas at the start of March and hasn't been seen since. Tyson went to London and started his own bar. Connor was caught and arrested for counterfeiting american currency and was being transorted to the Citadel by the sercret service themselves. As for Sarah, you're on your own when it comes to her. Last I heard she said she was going home...wherever that is." Kaz said in a monotone voice.

"My advice to you Jack is go find Tyson first, I know he's struggling financially and I know you two are butt buddies". Kaz said as he finally decided to take the cash from Jack's hand.
"Then I would go find Sarah. Convince her however you can. She's stubborn but not an idiot, she'll join the job if she feels like she's wanted." After Sarah go find Rob, dude's got a massive crush on Sarah. Tell him that Sarah is in and he won't hesitate for a second." Kaz said as he folded his arms.
"Connor is going to be the hardest to find. Might have to find another ghost for this job." Kaz said with a smirk on his face.
"Thanks Kaz, now do yourself a favor and use earbuds instead of soundproof headphones when playing video games. Keeps you aware of everything going on near you and it will prevent me from doing the kool aid man again." Jack said whilst rolling his eyes.
"Asshole." Kaz said as he picked up the wad of cash off the corner of the table.
"Stay in touch Kaz" Jack said whilst turning around to leave the same way he came in.

The dude would rather stay inside and play flight simulations than run actual drugs across state lines is amazing. (Jack thought to himself right before he stepped out onto street level.)
"Excuse me sir!!!" Jack stops and looks around until he finds where the voice is originating from. It came from a police officer who's approaching him. The first thought Jack had in his head was to run, but decided to stay and look's at the officers hands. The officers chip is red. Jack knows that this officer has been to war and isn't afraid of getting violent.
"Hey buddy you okay? I just asked you a question." Said the officer.
Yeah sorry sir, I've been tired from working down at the mechanic shop and must've zoned out. What can I do for you sir?
"Do you have the time?" Asked the officer with a frown.
"Yeah it's twelve minutes past midnight as of now." Said Jack whilst looking at his wrist watch
"Thanks, now please show me your chip." Asked the officer.
"Why do I need to show you anything? I'm heading home now and want to go to bed before the sun rises up." Jack said in an annoyed tone.
"Well buddy, this district has a strict curfew at ten pm. Anybody breaking the curfew is subject to inspection and potential imprisonment. Now show me your chip." Said the officer with a low growl.
"Fine, just make it quick. Jack said as he removed his glove and rolled his hand over to the officer.
"Blue chip eh? Don't see many of those nowadays. Thought you smartass's worked in universitys or government branches". Said the officer.
"Decided to change careers." Jack said softly.
"Oh yeah? what you do now?" The officer responded.
"I handle financial transactions for banks that are trying to find a way to save a pretty penny." Jack lied.
"Alright whatever you're free to go now, but head straight home now." Said the officer before turning around to walk away. Jack simply gave the bird to the officer and started walking back home. As Jack approached his apartment, he noticed something that sent a chill down his spine.
His front door was wide open.

A year after the tragic death of his best friend, Carey Walsh copes with feelings of guilt and loneliness by trolling strangers online. His secret little addiction becomes a nightmarish odyssey when he trolls a billionaire inventor of a futuristic VR simulation housed on a faraway tropical island. The game, known as “Luminether Online,” is actually an experiment meant to rewire the brain’s empathy centers - an experiment that kills the bullies it attempts to fix. Suddenly trapped inside, Carey encounters an epic fantasy world full of vibrant magic spells, terrifying monsters, and ancient gods who left behind superpowered races of humans – one of which Carey must choose as his avatar. Armed with the most basic armor and sword, he must level up, stop a guild of necromancers hellbent on world domination, and do it all while playing as an orange-eyed "Feral" rogue with a furry tail and amazing stealth, agility and parkour skills.

In order to win the game, Carey must recruit allies, explore the mythical world of Astros, and unlock the secrets of this baffling new reality - because the truth is not what it seems. Luminether Online is a standalone LitRPG novel, though it is set in the same world as a different series known as The Luminether Series, a non-LitRPG epic fantasy.
