"Now that you have become my apprentice I can show you the basics of blacksmithing." He turned and went towards forge, I followed after him, the best part about becoming an apprentice is that I would be able to improve my skills when watching Sardrock forge.

He starts by adding coal to the forge and using the bellows to get to the proper temperature to melt the iron ore, after watching him add the metal so it can melt down he then pour the liquid iron into the mold, wait for it to be a bit more solid then break the mold out, then turns towards the anvil and starts to shape the iron into a sword . I watch as he continuously goes back and forth from melting reheating the metal to shaping it with his hammer and anvil and cooling the metal, then finally honed the blade, it takes a total of 2 hours to finish creating the weapon.
He walks over to me and hands me the sword, "Take it."
"But didn't you just put your hard work into this sword so how could I take it?" I had never been a blacksmith so I didn't know why he would want me to take his sword.
"You have become my one and only apprentice, of course, I have to give you a gift." he was adamant on giving me the sword.
I ended up taking the sword and used identify on it
Iron Sword (Purple - Epic)
Iron sword made by the Divine Smith Sordrock for his precious apprentice.
Level required: 10
Attack: 20-30
Strength + 3
(Appraisal Required)
I was shocked by the sword he made, not only did was it purple grade, but it also required an appraisal, meaning that not all the stats are being shown on the sword, I couldn't get over the fact that it was purple, of course, the only negative thing about items you equip is that they glow the weapon-grade, meaning that my sword would glow purple showing people I have a purple grade weapon, making me a target for more and more people.
Fortunately for me, I am not high enough to use this sword yet, so I can avoid drawing attention from people by using a purple grade sword.

Noticing the time I decided to log off.
...
After logging off I started to prepare food for the family, my parents were watching T.V in the other room, I could hear them chatting with each other about me.
"What do you think she does in that capsule all day?"
"She's young, let her play her games for a couple of years, then she can get a job."
After that they stopped talking and continued to watch T.V. until the food was ready.
After eating food, I went back to my room and slept.
...
When I woke up, I had a shower, ate breakfast and went back into Pandora.
Walking back to the blacksmith I noticed that those people who I hadn't seen for a while were back, and they were causing trouble for Sordrock again.
"Whats wrong with you this time?" I walked up and asked them.
"Its none of your business." The lackey behind Dominator Chris replied arrogantly.
"Well it is, I am the apprentice at this blacksmith." I replied seriously, I had started to treat the NPCs with just as much respect as my parents, so when they started to make trouble with Sordrock I started to become furious.

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 :)
