《World of Refiners》Chapter 1: The apocalypse
Advertisement
Meet John Doe.
A 20 year old college student.
Tall, well kept hair, dirty blonde, green eyes.
Descent student.
Average, middle-class family.
Physically Active, involved in various activities.
Enjoys pasta and games.
Dislikes crowds and most seafood.
Preps for the apocalypse as a hobby.
Preps for the “3 probable ends”:
The world runs out of oil
Large solar flare hits the planet
Economic collapse due to some reason
Downloaded and compiled tons of survival resources.
All information is compressed and rewritten into a 400 page book.
The apocalypse came, and it was something that he never imagined.
His resources were still useful though.
However, he died in his sleep the night before and the survivors didn’t bother to check why. They did not last long.
XXXXXXXXXX opened his eyes to the sunlight streaming through his window, onto his face. He squinted, puzzled about what was happening. He was John Doe, reincarnated with his mind intact. However, up until now he had not lived his life, but rather watched from the sidelines. It was as if someone had pressed the fast forward button on his life. Each year seemed to last only a single day and while he could influence how he lived, ultimately, it was not his life. Today though, things were different; time moved at the normal pace and John could truly feel the world that was slowly moving around him. Now he was Shiga Wateya, 3rd child out of 4 in the Wateya main family. For 13 days he had waited,and now he was in his body, his life waiting to be lived.
The world Shiga had reincarnated into was a game like one based on martial arts. Shiga lived in the Zodiac Dynasty. A huge dynasty that controlled more land than was on Earth before he had left it. The Dynasty was divided up into the 12 signs:

Thankfully Shiga had gotten control of his body when he had, because today was examination day. Young men and women from all over the sign would pour into the capital in order to take the exam. The exam was an imperial exam that would test potential cultivators’ aptitudes for cultivation and other important elements to cultivating. There were a total of 4 tests, each focused on a different element of cultivation.
Affinity Test
Talent Test
Survival Test
Dao Test
Together these tests made up the cultivation exam and they determined the future of many people, because many schools and sects would watch these exams for young geniuses that they could recruit to their school.
Shiga stepped onto a crane magic beast beside his parents. They quickly flew to the capital of the Camel Sign. As they approached, Shiga could see flocks of other magical bird beasts and land magical beasts all making their way to the capital. They touched down just outside of town and Shiga went over to the check in line while his parents went to join the crowd of onlookers. After waiting for a short time, Shiga got a pass with his name and number on it and was told to enter the examination plaza. Stepping into the huge cobbled plaza, he saw that there were thousands of seats in the plaza. Many of them were filled with other members of his generation. He quickly walked over the the seat with his number and sat down. With one last look around, Shiga began to patiently wait for the first test, the test of Aptitude, to begin.

Hawkin. Bronze Ranked Brewer.
07/11/2022 Update: We're currently at the end of the 7th arc, out of 10. My plan is to continue to publish a chapter at least 4-5x a week for the next few months. Synopsis: Hawkin found his place in the world, far from humans and monsters. He abandoned the adventuring life long ago and left civilization, opting for peace and isolation instead. After ten years out in the northern forests, he befriends a strange creature and his life changes. A traveling trio of monks then show up in Hawkin's woods and share with him the best beer he's ever had. After that beer, Hawkin wants to do nothing but accept the brewer's path and brew. This story is intended to be slow and easy. It involves a slow progression of power and brewing more powerful beers. There is occasional conflict. Thanks for reading, and I really hope this story relieves a bit of stress from your days. Note: I'm behind on Audio, but I hope to catch up soon. Linked Audio is always free.

8 74Soul of the Fallen
I am Leon Marshall, scourge of the earth, death of the heavens, and slayer of gods. Perhaps you have yet to hear my tale. It was I who conquered the nine hells to reclaim the soul of the fallen. It was I who seized the crown of the Empire that ruled for eternity. It was I who fought with the Skylords themselves, and drove the Coalition of the north across the great sea. It may be that I have perished young, but what does it matter? To live without leaving a trace of my existence is to not have lived at all. Come, hear my tale. See the life of the Unequaled himself, and the legacy that shall live for eternity. ------ The skies tremble as the gate of worlds open for the soul of a Celestial. He who came from another world. He who possessed the knowledge of men long ago came and passed. The darkness screeches as silence spreads over the gods themselves. Leon Marshall has journeyed from the earth to the Seven skies, and nothing would ever be the same. Follow the tale of the demon's chosen on his path to destroy the world. (Note:This story will be rewritten under the same name, and I will link it once it is avialable)
8 114In Harry Potter with OTS System
What would happen to a guy that died out of rage while in a Guild War? What would the choice of some bored dimensional being who catches his soul in the middle of his way to the afterlife? What would happen when the guy's addiction mixes with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!? What chaos would that bring to the world!?------------------------------------Well, this was an idea I had like a week ago, and wanted to try it out on my journey to learn how to write. So, here it is. It's another fanfic, yes. Because it's easier to write. Also, with this one, I'll probably post only during the weekends, not daily like with the Novel's Extra's Extra. Firstly because I want to finish the other one, and also because I need to research a lot more (I'm not that knowledgeable in Harry Potter.) As usual, any feedback and criticism will be well received, and thanks for reading! Will be posting this in Scribble Hub and Webnovel too.

8 217MMORPG: Rebirth as an Alchemist
For the sake of his family, Ren embarked on the popular VRMMORPG, COVENANT, that used real-time in-game currency. But being a mediocre player who only knows how to gather information, he was put in a supporting role. As the game explodes in popularity and every multibillion-dollar company invested in the game, things have turned for the worse for Ren. Due to the amount of information he gathered, the cheats, secrets, quests, and bugs he discovered, he was silent in fear of selling the information to the other guilds. But given a second chance, he went back in time when his father was still alive and COVENANT was just in its starting phase. This time . . . he wouldn’t be that guy on the side who gathered information from day in and day out for ten years. Equipped with the games knowledge he accumulated, he will become . . . an Alchemist! Chrono Mage? Djin Master? Summoner? Necromancer? Chaos Lord? What good are those? Sure they’re powerful and rare classes and sought after by guilds, but it’s the alchemist who forged artifacts and concocts rare items and potions that gets the most coins at the end of the day! It was better than being a blacksmith or a crafter! Plus, he could use all sorts of magic without limit to race and class! It was the ultimate class! And no one even knows it!
