Point of view: Celina
It's been three years since the world changed.
I could talk for hours about how my life was before the world became what it is today. But it does not matter anymore.
When the fall came, all continents united in one super continent, at least that's what the rumors I heard.
The changes did not stop there.
But the continents were not united in the same way that it was before the continents as we knew how to form them.
What I want to say is that the continents were divided and small pieces and then reassembled as a puzzle.
I lived in the United States, in the state of Utah. Originally, the state of Utah bordered six other American states, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. But now, what was the state of Utah, borders on Paris, Palau, and Bolivia.
Of course nothing is so simple, people have also been randomly reorganized, some individuals like me have remained in the region of origin, but many others have been scattered across the continent.
Now in my town, Logan, there are people from all over the world, Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Greeks and several other places.
But not every change was for the worse, now everyone speaks the same language.
And no, our speech is not being translated by the system, what happened was that every human being forgot his native language, and a common language for all was put in place.No matter whether it was written or spoken, human language was replaced by the Alkos language.
When the fall happened and the world changed, that's when the System started.
Monsters appeared out of nowhere and began to hunt humans.
Tens of millions died, but the systems gave us a method of counterattack.
Now humans have access to the status screen, where we analyze our progress, at the general level, or at the class level. In status it is where we can distribute the points we get to the level up, allowing us to be able to overcome the limits of the human being.

Shooting fireballs by the hand, that's fine.
Want to run faster than a car, go ahead.
You want to lift ten times your weight, no one is stopping you.
An interesting fact is that firearms do not work, everything else is still functional. For example the cars still work.
Back to the present.
Today humanity has passed the first crisis.
New communities, Governments and even kingdoms are being formed around power figures.
These new leaders are individuals who have adapted to the system and have achieved a stable position of power.
Believe that they are over 50, and some up to level 100.
While some like me have not yet reached level 15.In my case, it is not surprising, since I have the Healer class, with offensive power near 0.
Today my group and I were sent on a zombie population control mission.
The area of occurrence of the zombies is about 50km from the base.
I'm using my standard equipment, not that I have another. A light pink tunica, a copper tiara and leather boots.
The group that I am consists of a group of people, but I only know two: Rogerio and Liliam.
Rogerio is the leader of the group. He is a level 25 warrior, and the strongest in the group. He is handsome, with his blond curls, blue eyes. Tall, and athletic, he uses a sword and shield as his weapon. And he's wearing full set of steel armor, which covers his entire body perfect. With the excision of the fingertips of the hand that the gauntlets do not cover.
And old Liliam, she is a level 11 mage specialized in fire spells. She is already in her 55 years old, with gray hair, but with a body of 40. She wears a red robe, and usually only wears her tied hair. She is a sweet person who cares for the well being of the group.

In the black zone, which as we call where the zombies are born, the number of zombies never stops growing, even without new victims.
We still do not know what creates the new zombies, but we know that if the number of zombies is not reduced, a Zombie-Leader is born, and joins the whole zombie horde to attack and increase the area of influence of the Black Zone.
Therefore, from time to time a shipment is mounted with Levelers between levels 10 to 30, to reduce the zombie population.
It is an easy job, great for those who have low level, to level up.
After an hour's drive we arrived in Zona negra, old Paris, we parked the car away from the city to not attract a crowd of zombies.
Although it is an easy job to kill zombies, but if tens of thousands of these creatures attack us at the same time, we will only have the choice to escape.The group killed zombies for hours, until we found a terrible Zombie B1, these zombies are hard.
In addition to having a huge brute strength, they are also very resilient.
At first glance the B1 is a normal zombie, only that bigger, with approximately 1.90m of height.
Although the group was large, it was not easy to kill B1.
When we managed to kill, B1 dropped a greenish crystal.
When we saw the crystal, everyone started to party.
For the crystal in question was a Class Crystal. If we sell to the Chief of the city, we'll make lots of money.
While I was celebrating with Liliam our luck, I noticed a movement between the dark alleys to my left.
After a few seconds of watching that street, that's when I saw death.Or rather the deaths. Our deaths.
It was not long before we realized that we were surrounded by the undead.Everywhere hundreds, thousands of zombies came to us.We were already surrounded.The only choice was to fight, and try to get out.
The initial plan was to all do a spear formation and open space for the group to flee.
Until it would work, if it was not for the mutant zombies, we would have broken the zombie blockade easily.
We fight, bravely.
Rogerio in the vanguard as a true hero. He is the hope of our group to leave this alive.
Until that happened.
A B2 appeared out of nowhere, and with a punch sent our front line flying toward the zombie crowd.
The zombies tried to bite the Rogerio at all costs more was in vain, they were unable to cross the armor.
Until a zombie could bite, and rip his fingers out of Rogerio's hand.
I know it's not the time to ask questions, but why was he still holding the class crystal?
As soon as the zombie ripped out and swallowed the rogerio's fingers with the crystal, the B2 with a pounding crushed Rogerio's head, sending pieces of skull and brain flying in all directions.
And this was the last scene I saw, before the horde killed each one of our group.
Devored alive, what a great way to die.

The Rig Mechanist’s Maintenance Report
More than a generation had passed since the creation of a new type of weapon, one that outclassed anything else, but the creator put limits on the technology to prevent it from being used in aggressive combat. With the powerful humanoid weapons, rigs, there to stop battles from breaking out, new ways of taking land had to be developed. That led to the sport of rig combat; powerful weapons pitted against each other with countries betting land and resources on the outcome. But it wasn't just the machines and pilots that competed; the workers that ensured the rigs were able to fight had battles of their own. A mechanist's fight begins before the first shot is fired and their minds are their best weapons.

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.

Foreshadow
It's was already over 200 years since the last Supernatural War. Due to the use of technology against humanity, it created a psychological trauma that leads to the slow advancement of technology. Throughout the years, the world was unbelievably silent and in peace. Many believed that the pact signed by humanity and Supernatural Species kept the two opposing forces on watch. Some thought that both sides are brewing something and kept their cards hidden. Even the rumors told that the peace wouldn't last long and the war would break out in a few years. Who would know the future and things it would tell. Maybe the war would break out of nowhere or the world would remain at ease.---Note:First, I don't own the picture and credits to its rightful owner. Second, English isn't my native language. So before hand, sorry for the wrong grammar, misspelled words and the redundancies. Last, enjoy! --- Hiatus for the meantime while I'm retyping/reediting the first ARC. Thank YOU!

A Sky of Star and Strength
Jake was just an intelligent kid living a pretty regular life in Mill Creek, Washington. Then the apocalypse happens. Now with his Dad out of the country and totally in yet out his element, this is his story. My take on a system apocalypse based around "life force" as a currency. The main character will have a special power (as will most of the other characters) and be rather OP, you have been warned. Like many of the authors on this site I have no formal writing experience so writing tips and grammar corrections are much appreciated :)
