《World of Refiners》Q & A
Advertisement
Q: What is up with that reincarnation? Why is he so calm? What parts were dreamlike?
A: I chose to use this method of reincarnation because of my personal issues with reincarnation stories. My first problem is that I don't want to read a story about a 5 or 10 year old child, so instead John Doe just experienced limbo, but not the mind breaking empty kind. This works to calm him down as well, because the 13 days he watched, were full 24 hour days. He most certainly was confused, angry, sad, etc, but he managed to work through most of his issue. The dreamlike parts are the 13 days he spent not truly in control of his body, because that was the most surreal and confusing part of his reincarnation.
Q: The Zodiac in this world seems pretty strange.
A: The Zodiac is one of my personal creations. I originally wanted the entire zodiac to be mythical beasts, but I ran out of ideas before that could happen. Instead, I picked animals that are from the top of their respective food chain. The Tiger and the Serpent are meant to represent symbolically yin and yang, while the others each have their own meanings as well. I pulled my ideas from both the western and chinese zodiacs, along with a few animals that I wanted to add in.
Q: What was up with the Coyotes trying to kill him during the test?
A: Well, I am going only give potential speculations. Coyotes do normally live in small family groups, but they will work together at times as well, so that behavior was semi-normal. The coyotes wanted to chase the meat that Shiga threw from the tree, but the alphas kept them around the tree. Clearly the alphas/coyotes wanted something from Shiga, and later when they were circling the tree they were also being scared off by something. The rest may or may not be revealed, but know that the examiners did not send the coyotes after Shiga for the test.

Q: Why did you do the tests the way you did?
A: The tests are multipurpose. In the story they are used to determine people's futures, which is used to allow some social mobility, show of young geniuses, and give many of the smaller sects or schools a chance to get students for themselves. The first test is similar to the many awakening rituals that are found in other reincarnation stories. The third test is the most important because it is used to determine someone's motivation/determination with their talent. The second test is used to test how people truly react under stressful situations and to prime people for the third test by putting them in a desperate situation, even if it is only superficially. The tests were also meant to help me work on my writing style and make sure I could keep putting out chapters.
~~Author’s Notes~~
Sorry for the long break! Things came up like flooding, family, and procrastination, so I ended up going on unannounced hiatus. I am back, and will be continuing to write the story. I may take another hiatus in ~15 chapters because I am not sure what will happen after that and I will need time to get ahead on the story again. Please ask any more questions that you may have and I will make another Q & A after another arc ends (Yes, the tests were their own arc. Its called the prologue).

The Trials of Bethany
Bethany, is a young girl who didn't expect anything more from her life than to spend her time churning butter and trying to ignore the abuse of her fellow village members. In any other world this would be a reasonable expectation for a person in the middle ages. But Bethany was lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it. Because her world was about to get a whole lot bigger, and a whole lot scarier. The Trials of Bethany, is a Gamelit story of a system arriving on earth in the middle ages with the characters being teleported away regularly to face trials to earn their skill levels. As such there won't be a flood of skills however there will be constant progression and other hidden treats. The story will be evolving as it's written and as always aspects of the story/world are prone to change. This is my first serious attempt at writing and my first time publishing anywhere so all constructive criticism is welcome. Currently uploading Tuesday & Friday with occasional bonus chapters.

The World Destroyer
---Warning for people with suicidal tendencies--- Life was going well for the rich, intelligent and athletic girl Pacific Hanasaki. But she suddenly decided to commit suicide because of her logical reasoning, “What’s the point of living if you already have what you want?” Yet she didn’t die at all, because Judgment Day has arrived: where God decides who goes to Heaven. He decided that he wants to bring every human to Heaven. There is an exception though, the Sinners: living people who attempted suicide. There is only one way for a Sinner to go to heaven: kill everyone and be the last one alive. In a world where no one is born and everyone will die, the Sinners are tasked to purge the Earth with the help of a companion, Angels, each with different powers. Pacific was given the Angel of Secrets, Raziel. Can Pacific successfully kill everyone and remain alive while other Sinners do the same and hunt each other down? How can she even kill other sinners? Also featuring some of my art. This is my first story so I really appreciate constructive criticism especially because I tried writing such a controversial topic. Thank you.
