The stories I will upload isn't mine.
This will consist of the stories I found on Youtube or in Reddit. I'm making this so that I will be able to archive the stories and at the same time read it in WN's UI (Which is so goddamn good). You can find the authors of said stories in the 'Author's Thoughts' section at the end of each chapter. And one last note, please support the authors of the stories if you find it good. 

Like I said, I'm not the author of the stories I will upload. I'm only compiling them to read them for my own use, so do not report this pls.

Jay was someone who felt he had accomplished nothing in life. After his death, he was given another chance at life but little did he know, it could very well be a new beginning, or his Final Fantasy.

Adam can't help but be happy! He received a system! Wait... is he really the only one who got it?
He hurries to check the reddit on his computer and press f5 repeatedly.
5 minutes and nothing. If there are no people talking about it on Reddit it is because there are less than 100 people in the world with powers or because there is no one else.
Adam looks at the action buttons he is very tempted to simply choose [cultivate], but it is better to [study] first. The boy chooses to study and he feels several options, choose theme 1, 2, 3, ... Allocate study time 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours ...
He checks the hours, it is 10 pm, he usually goes to sleep 00:00. But fuck it, it puts 4 hours of study with 3 subjects of study Cultivation of the body, origins of heroes and tutorial to be a vigilante. 
The next 4 hours are the most amazing things in Adam's life. It is as if he were an experienced researcher. No Reddit or google. He quickly accesses historical databases and oriental literary analyzes, philosophy and Chinese mythology. Adam reads it with absurd speed, and he manages to memorize the contents that seem interesting and quickly discards the useless contents for the purpose of research, Adam makes colorful, consistent, referenced and organized notes. After that he begins to study the origins of heroes, most of his focus was on more current cinema and comic book stories. In less than 5 minutes he realizes that it will not be useful to study the origins of heroes, these tales are meant to entertain and impress, because they have to be marketed. Adam will study biographies of real heroes in the future, but his focus of study shifts to vigilantism. 
In this matter he dedicates almost two and a half hours. Much of the study consists of neighborhood surveillance forums, training for shopping security guards and tips for de-escalating dangerous situations.
The more he studies, the more quickly he realizes that it is not possible to be a hero overnight. Much of it consists of investigations and passing the job on to more competent people. 
Someone dealing drugs? Who does he buy from? Who's boss? Oh do they use an app to combine exchanges? Pass the investigation on to cybercrime. Are exchanges in another state? So it's a federal investigation, pass the job on to another team. Police and politicians involved? Pass the investigation to homeland security. Multi-country crime? INTERPOL.
You will have thousands of agents investigating financial transactions, identifying suspects, building a psychological portfolio of criminal leaders, discovering locations of warehouses and more.
Crimes escalate quickly with investigations and this needs resources. Or he can stick with watching the neighborhood. 
Adam finishes studying, he is kind of discouraged because much of the vigilante study just made it clear that being one is either boring or stupid. Cultivation is just a series of mysticism, he will have to see more about philosophy and oriental medicine. And about heroic origins, it is also useless. Better learn about other things.
He looks at his watch, 2 am. He needs to enter the supermarket at 7:40 am. But he is still too energetic to sleep.
Wait... I have superpowers and still have to work in that supermarket? 
Never.
Adam chooses [Cultivate]

Adam is an 18-year-old who works as a cashier in a supermarket chain when he discovers that he has a system to become a Cultivator. The first and only cultivator on earth.

How will governments react? How will Adam manage to fight crime? Will Adam get money? More importantly, in which country will he be able to build a harem?

'So who should I give this house to...Wait a minute, this seems suspicious...'


"Wait, is there a drawback to this?" Damien asked both Avaritia and Benevolentia.


"Master, to truly fuse one of us emotion spirits to a named object, you first need to find a white pure soul gem or black corrupt soul gem. While soul gem themselves are very common. Soul gems are created when a living being with a consciousness dies. The soul of the being goes into the afterlife and depending on how strong they are, they will leave different amounts of soul gems. However, white pure or black corrupt soul gems are soul gems dropped by beings who have done nothing but good or bad. Not only are they very rare, to combine it you need to face our aftereffects, and the only way to rid of our spirit's aftereffects is by dying. However, the longer you stay with that spirit's emotion, the stronger the weapon."


"So basically, I have to kill a baby. That's basically what you are saying." Damien looked at Benevolentia with fear. That's Kindness?


"That would be one way to do it. However, you will need to extremely lucky. As they are very weak, they will almost never drop a gem.


Moving on, you should probably prioritize getting Avaritia, Luxuria, or Gula as your first object of emotion. As much as the rest of us want a house, those three are unique. All three need to take more than 1 soul gem. For every 5 sexual items you gain, you need to give Luxuria one soul gem to get stronger. For Gula, it is every 5 food item you gain, and for Avaritia, every item you give him, the need for soul gems increases exponentially." Benevolentia pointed at the three spirits she was talking about.


"Umm, ok, well that will have to wait won't it? I mean you haven't told me the easiest way to earn these crystals."


"Oh, about that, there is no easiest way. There is the one you were talking about, killing babies. This one depends on your luck.
There is also killing children or adults. For this one, you are guaranteed a soul gem, but it will almost never be completely pure or corrupt. This also depends on your luck.
Finally, there is completely annihilating souls. First, you need to be dead. Easy right? Well, then you need to completely remove a soul from the death reality. Doing this will cause the soul to reincarnate, with their memories intact. However, you will be marked by the reality, and be chased by every reaper it has. So choose wisely!" Benevolentia gave Damien a smile and waved.


"Why did you wav..! WAIT, WHY AM I BECOMING TRANSPARENT?!" Damien looked at his body, only to see it become more and more transparent.


"Master, you are waking up now, please think which of those three you will be giving the Scythe of Spirits to. I wish you a good day, Master, bye!"


------------------------------


"Master, are you okay?" Laura looked at Damien, whose body was covered in sweat.


"Yeah, I'm fine, I was just talking to the spirits."

"Oh, what were you guys talking about?"

"They want houses, as in named objects...God, I need to find 11 more named weapons. That's gonna take 50 chapters." (No, I will not give him all 11 weapons in 50 chapters, he has already gotten a good enough start.)


"Master, come on, there's something on the news." Laura started pulling Damien out of bed.

Laura then dragged Damien to his desk and pressed a button. The button brought up a floating TV, and on it was the breaking news.

=============
!!BREAKING NEWS!!
People are trapped in their VR sets!
Groups are reporting that some people are unable to be contacted after entering the game [Worlds Collide]. The only patterns we have figure out are that the people trapped have all been, at one point, in the top 5 of a popular MMORPG. There are some exceptions, but right now we need to figure out how to get them all out.
Just in case, you must refill the trapped people with a dose of nutrients every 2 days.
=============

"Jade wasn't that good at games..." Damien started sulking. He started feeling somewhat jealous, for whatever reason. He shook his head, clearing his thoughts. "Laura, come on, I got to go outside really quick." Damien quickly changed into new clothes and ran downstairs. Laura, shaking her head, picked up the empty food plates and carefully walked down the stairs, before putting them on the counter, where a robot appeared and took the plates to go clean.

Laura them followed Damien outside. They got on to Damien's motorbike and Damien started driving. They first when to the store to buy nutrient bottles, then traveled back home to inject Jade with nutrients. They left the house after they finished and half an hour later, they arrived at a run-down building. 

"Master, are you here to train?"

"Yeah, I've never used a scythe before, so I want to try to see how it feels."

Damien focused on the ring and the Scythe of Spirits appeared in his hand. He started twirling it in the air, with the blade of the scythe spinning around him like a twister. He grabbed the scythe with both hands and started slicing at the air. He jumped into the air and flipped while dragging the scythe behind him. As he did a 360, he brought the scythe over his head and into the ground. 

"I am a farmer." Damien suddenly spoke out a cheesy one-liner. 

"What?" Laura cocked her head in confusion.

"I saw this in my last life, on Reddit." Damien started chuckling. (I was looking for techniques for scythes, and found it on Reddit.)

"It...sucks." 

Damien picked up the scythe out of the ground and tried to think of the things he read on Reddit. He started using the scythe in a leg sweeping motion, which was followed by a jab with the top of the scythe.
Damien continued practicing with the scythe for 4 hours before stopping. The sun has already started setting and Damien was covered in sweat. Laura, on the other hand, had fallen asleep.

"Come on, Laura, let's go home." Damien started shaking Laura awake.

"Mmm, Master, two more minutes." Laura turned around and fell back asleep.

"Sigh, fine. 2 more minutes." Damien sat down and started wiping off his sweat.

All of a sudden the building started rumbling, the walls started collapsing, and the ground started cracking. A xanadu colored crack appeared in the air and started growing. Damien felt his soul being pulled in as he lost consciousness.

We reached a reality crack.  Depending on your guys' choices, this book can go in many ways. The first crack is for the Scythe of Spirits. Gula or Avaritia. Who will it go to? Here a poll.

So this was an absolute failure. Im gonna work on my imagination and hopefully write smth better. So uh, title gonna go bye bye. Pray that I stop being lazy.

1 The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 On the seventh day Shrek finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 Shrek blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Shrek made the earth and the heavens.
5 No meme was yet in the earth, and no meme had yet sprung up; for Shrek had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a memer to till the ground,
6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Shrek formed memers from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the memer became a living soul.
8 Shrek planted a garden eastward, in Reddit, and there he put the memer whom he had formed.
9 Out of the ground Shrek made every meme to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the meme of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A river went out of Reddit to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 The name of the first is Youtube: it flows through the whole land of Bruh, where there is meme potential;
12 and the meme potential of that land is good.
13 The name of the second river is Instagram. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Stolen Memes.
14 The name of the third river is Snapchat. This is the one which flows in front of Filters. The fourth river is the 4chan.
15 Shrek took the memer, and put him into the garden of Reddit to cultivate and keep it.
16 Shrek commanded the memer saying, "You may freely eat of every meme of the garden;
17 but you shall not eat of the meme of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die."
18 Shrek said, "It is not good for the memer to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him."
19 Out of the ground Shrek formed every meme of the field, and every meme of the sky, and brought them to the memer to see what he would call them. Whatever the memer called every meme became its name.
20 The memer gave names to all memes, and to the memes of the sky, and to every meme of the field; but for the memer there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 Shrek caused the memer to fall into a deep sleep. As the memer slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Shrek made a gamergirl from the rib which had taken from the memer, and brought her to the memer.
23 The memer said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'gamergirl,' because she was taken out of the memer."
24 Therefore a memer will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 The memer and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.

The holy meme Bible created by the Almighty Shrek himself.
Basically, I'm translating the bible to meme language.
Enjoy!

[MC's POV]


'What a beautiful day indeed! birds are chirping happily, the streets are lively, its as if today would be the last day on earth.'

"And what better way to start my day than a nice cup of coffee!"

I stopped watching the scenery outside my window, and turned back to go to the kitchen in order to use the coffee maker.

"Let's see.... Are there still any coffee beans left in here?" I said as I look inside the kitchen cabinets.

"Ah! Bingo! come to daddy," I then grabbed the coffee bean bag and proceeded to pour the coffee beans into the coffee maker.

"Now I just need to wait for them to turn into liquid coffee, I still got some minutes to spare before that happens so I might as well kill time by looking at the scenery outside."


<Sometime later>

"Now that I finished my coffee, going for a light jog might not be that bad."

I then went ahead and climbed upstairs my house and entered my room, I began to change my entire outfit into that fitting for going a jog in the streets.

The place where I like to call as my home isn't all that fancy or luxurious, its just a normal modern 2-storey house just like most of the houses in the neighbourhood.

I bought this house in this peaceful neighbourhood using my parent's life insurance, my mother and father died on a train accident while going to work, the train suddenly went off rail and began to crash into the house and buildings nearby the area.

The accident of course, took the life of my beloved parents.

Once I saw the accident report, I was devastated...

What were the odds of it happening on my birthday? It was like fate was playing a sick joke in my life.

The life insurance money my parent's left me was enough for me to live alone peacefully and continue my education till I graduated, and get a suitable and comfortable job in the society.

However, I beg to differ. I chose to buy a 2-storey house in this nice and quiet neighbourhood, well to be fair, it was a rural neighbourhood so its kind of a given for it to be nice and peaceful.

I dropped out of University and tried to live a peaceful slow life in this neighbourhood.

But of course, I have my own hobbies that I very much love. I started to like agriculture and started to make a mini farm of mine in my backyard, it was pretty relaxing if I say so myself. I started watching anime and reading mangas, I bought some mangas off online stores, and watched anime on crunchyroll, my pride prevents me from watching at pirate sites.

I also started playing games, I played so many games that I don't remember some of them, well I do remember some of the popular ones like the Assassins Creed franchise.

I recently got into the apocalypse genre of games and animes, such as the fallout franchise and highschool of the dead.

I am quite fond of imagining myself surviving in a zombie apocalypse or a nuclear apocalypse, especially zombie apocalypse.

I watched a movie called Kingdom, it was a movie set in an ancient dynasty, basically it was a zombie apocalypse movie but in an ancient dynasty era, its pretty impressive to see them hold off the zombies using cold weapons.

'Huh? now that I think about it... People in that movie can hold off against zombie hordes by using swords, bows, etc... But why is it that when it comes to the modern era where firearms and massive weapons of mass destruction exist... They get overwhelmed with zombies when they can literally shoot them at a distance and not get bitten? I guess I'll take that as the panicking civilians' fault.'

Although I've got my hobbies to support me and help me not have a mental breakdown from loneliness, I still have yet to find a girlfriend since birth...

I do try to flirt with a girl but it always somehow fails, sometimes they also say something when they reject me, something along the lines of "I don't date playboys," I don't get it... Just because I look a bit handsome doesn't mean im a playboy, heck I've still got my V-Card intact my whole life.

'There's no use thinking about it, but I really do think I need a girlfriend now, im already 20 years old! im at the prime of my life! but im still alone my whole life. Those anime girls in the animes that I've watched were undoubtedly better than real life girls though.'

'Might as well head back home and water my plants, and watch anime.'


<30 minutes worth of jogging later>


"Ah..... Home sweet home! all that light exercise made my throat dry, i need to drink some water first and maybe take a rest for 20 minutes before watering my crops," I then went to the kitchen refrigerator to get water.

"Well, im going to rest for 20 minutes or so before going to the backyard to water my crops, in the meantime, I could read some mangas instead of watching anime. There was this manga called Kimi no koto ga daidaidai... Actually just search 100 Kanojo, the actual name of the manga is too long."

"I heard that Rentarou got his 11th girlfriend in the latest chapter (Chapter 45) from reddit, might as well read it."


<20 minutes later>


"I guess I should go and water the crops now," I said, as I went to the backyard of my house, the sunlight then hit my eye as I walk towards water hose to water my crops.

"Nothing beats a wonderful sunny day indeed, I think this day will be the new best peaceful day in my memory, and I am 99% sure that nothing can ruin it!"

Well... That's what i thought, till I saw what looks like a Game HUD in front of my face saying...

"...What?"

What happens when you take two worst possible ideas for a fanfic (According to some readers) Gacha System and Harem...

Well... This Happens... Just read the fanfic and you'll see

-----------

A teenage boy was walking down the street on a sunny day, everything was peaceful... Apart from the fact that a robotic A.I inside you just told you that an Apocalypse will happen in just about a week.

Of course as everyone would've guessed, this robotic A.I inside the teenager's head... Is a system! quite frankly, a gacha system.

And what do we love about gachas? Of course! Its extremely low drop rate the higher the rarity is, the thrill that comes when you finally roll the gacha not knowing what it will give, the thrill when you finally found out the drops of the roll, only to find out that most of it is at the lowest rarity.

But don't take my word for it, this gacha system isn't an ordinary gacha system!

Well aside from the fact that it also contains objects from anime or people from certain anime, then yeah... its an ordinary gacha with the drop rates not increased.

Naturally, the teenager or know known as Zahard is happy that he got a system, well he would be if an apocalypse wouldn't happen in a week.

Read, as we follow the life of Zahard in this soon to be Apocalyptic world with his too sentient system.

-----------

The story will take place in the modern world, the apocalypse will happen in the modern world, the only fanfic part of this story is the content of the Gacha system which includes drops that are from certain animes.

Sometimes... We like to do the unexpected to the readers... Heh-

I do not own the Cover art...

WEDNESDAY
7:03 am 12th of Aug. 2020
each day is the same.
wake up.
have breakfast.
watch a twitch stream on my pc and chat with people.
check my Reddit and make a post on a sub.
check Facebook and post a status update on what is happening.
watch a vid on youtube
check discord and chat with others.
and play some music on my Spotify.
that is all I seem to do while I am stuck inside.
I did see a post from my school about the thing that is happening at bean@bility this week and I am interested to come. the lockdown has driven me to boredom since I am missing events that made me an active person when going out.
witching to the discord tab I decided to see what is going on in Avi's server so I could keep my sanity without losing it in the process. exiting my room I decided to put my breakfast in the sink as I watched some video's on the USB stick that I had plugged into my tv when I got back. videos like mark. jack and other YouTubers that I love. I also use it for music pics and anime as well so I can be resourceful about building my mancave that is filled with Miku and Starset for the pc.
8:37 am 12th of Aug. 2020
I decided to log in to my Facebook and see what was happening on my Facebook feed. my feed is filled with anime, news, bands, shows, and movies that I have followed since I was on there a year back. the 1st post I am welcomed with is a post from Sao showing fan faves Yuna and Eiji who are in War of Underworld. as for Yuna. yeah, she appeared in the Sao movie. and I would love to collab with her when I am in the world of Sao.
the next post is from the anime Konosuba and it is a funny post about tea. never seen the show or films. but I do plan on binging it after seeing all of fate and Sao. and as for the no game no life anime. well... it is banned cause it refused classification.
the next post was from one of my fave artists who goes by the name of Mike Shinoda. and from what I saw. he was making music for GamesCom and it is said that he is making the theme for it as well.
and as for Linkin Park. they are doing something for there 1st album of 2020 as a celebration that is in the form of an old laptop computer. and I am hyped for it since I know they went dark since Chester died 3 years ago. and yes it was a sad day to remember that but hey at least Miku is the one who makes me smile.
and as for the thing that is happening in Victoria right now. well, the cases have started to spike and that is not all. panic buying is now returning and is also turning chaotic as we speak. and it is sad to see the days getting darker for them since this world is broken.
logging out of Facebook I decided to see what was happening on Reddit when I logged in. and while I did that I decided to put on Spotify for my chill sessions when I am vibing to my music as well. checking Starset I noticed that the debut album transmissions was now missing from there profile. and in my mind, I knew it was going to be hidden since they signed with fearless records. moving over to Dustin's side project titled MNQN I decided to play one of the songs from the 1st album as I began my 1st vibe and chill session while online and on the web.
my Reddit was filled with art, music, gaming, entertainment, anime, and mostly lewd stuff as well. and yes I am 20 years old so I do enjoy this type of stuff when it comes to what sub I join. and I do post on there and give upvotes and downvotes on posts as well from time to time. including the ones that I report from offensive users who are from that sub. not gonna go into detail but let's just say I did throw a feedback post in the Starset subreddit. as for my kama. I have 7.8k since my posts gain attention from the community that sees it.

(inspired by fate/stay night and my love for self-insert)

we wanted a perfect world. this is not the world we had in mind.

the year is 2020, the Earth is facing an outbreak crisis that has impacted the world

many people are fighting for survival against the virus while others. are ignoring and fighting the government for freedom and change.

as for me. I just wish I was in another world where it is peaceful. or so I thought.

my name is Aden. and this is my story.

The year was 2031. And while it would have been not unlike any other year, what made it remarkable was the Magic Lens market release. Although to be fair, it wasn't your normal release. The blueprints, documentation, and everything else for the breakthrough device appeared out of nowhere on Reddit on September 1, 2031, instantly spreading across the internet like wildfire.
Who posted the dump? Who created the device, one that hid smartphone-esque computing power and microLED image quality in what looked like plain contact lenses? Half a century later, that remains a mystery.
All we have is a screen name: Prophet.
Growth shot through the roof for the company manufacturing Magic Lenses. Software was supplied by a variety of developers, including some industry giants.
In just one year, the Magic Lens became as ubiquitous as smartphones. Many people got rid of their smartphones, in fact.
But it was then, on September 1, 2032, one year to the day after Prophet posted the lens blueprints to Reddit, that he struck again with a new piece of software for the Magic Lens.
It was open-source, available to everyone absolutely free of charge.
We all remember how quickly the entire world downloaded it.
But when they installed it…
At first, everyone thought it was a game.
It took two or three days of people having a blast destroying monsters, using magic, and beating dungeons to realize that it actually wasn't. It was reality.
It was reality revealed by the Magic Lens.
Some governments tried to ban the lenses and their software, but Prophet had taken care of that by making everything open-source and available online. It would have been easier to shut down the internet than to keep humanity from their magic.
That's when the research began.
Magic had always been around, it turned out. The problem was that with each generation, fewer and fewer humans were capable of seeing, feeling, and sensing it.
As a result, the magic that had once been an inherent part of everyday life was confined to legends and fairy tales. The mortal world and the magic world co-existed as two sides of the same coin, never interacting with each other. Humans, with very rare exceptions, were unable to spot the magic creatures. The latter kept their distance.
To be fair, the exceptions on the magic side were far more common. That explained why about ten million people around the world went missing every year, never to be heard from again.
The magic creatures, vampires and all the rest, needed food. Vampires require an absurd amount of blood just to stay alive, while werewolves… Well, they're in a category all to themselves.
The Magic Lens restored the gift of magic to humanity. Research showed that its ability to transform mysterious magic into ordinary numbers and figures was based on quantum uncertainty, hyperposition, string theory, ray gravity, and the distortion of time-space by speed, or the gravitational difference between two points. There's more, but the list gets even more incomprehensible from there.
In 2032, regardless, magic once again became a normal part of life on Earth again.
Humans suddenly discovered that the Ural, Himalayan, and Andean Mountains are inhabited by dwarves, the forests of Canada and Siberia by elves. Fish swim side by side with mermaids, nagas, kappas, and other magic creatures. And it isn't just birds soaring through the skies; there are also dragons, phoenixes, griffins, and even creatures whose names had long since disappeared from legends and fairy tales.
Ogres. Trolls. Wargs. Goblins. Orcs. Fairies. Giants. Cyclopes. Medusas. Centaurs. Cyclopes…did I mention them already? Regular old humans were suddenly in contact with all of them.
Remember Tony Stark's speech in one of those superhero movies? (How quaint they look today.) You know, the guy in the iron suit who started by fighting normal people before moving on to superhumans, aliens, and even gods? That trajectory, it turns out, extends much further than previously thought.
But magic advanced by leaps and bounds after 2032. Humans worked on it. Studied it. Believed in it. (At least, if the clerics and other zealots of the Word are right about everything on Earth being moved by Faith.)
In other words, magic didn't become just another part of life on New Earth. It worked its way deeply into every aspect of life, developing and transforming as it went. The age of digital technology was followed by the age of magic and technology integration.
They even found Atlantis.
Sure, it wasn't that hard. For thousands of years, the state of Atlantis had been thriving on a continent hidden from the mortal world under the water, with just its tip protruding above the waves for everyone as New Zealand.
It also turned out that the old non-magical technology we used to use had failed to grasp Earth's full size. The planet is almost half again as large as people used to think.
Scientists went back to the drawing board, poring over what they thought they knew to combine physical laws with the laws of magic and sorcery.
Just to take one example, no one yet knows why the larger Earth discovery didn't change the number of days in the year, the number of hours in the solar day, or even gravitational acceleration.
Fifty years later, in 2081, our stack of unsolved riddles still dwarfs the ones we've figured out the answers to.
But humans went on living.
They learned magic at schools of witchcraft and wizardry. They visited the lands of sapient magic creatures. They hunted non-sapient magic creatures. They explored dungeons. They loved. They betrayed. They gave birth. They died.
They fought wars, too.
Back in 2040, the First Magic War changed the global map and all but destroyed the planet. More on that later.
Reddit was successful in its mission to change the world. (For better or worse? Hard to say.)
Some are still adamantly set against the usage of Magic Lenses, rejecting all forms of magic. But they're few and capable of nothing more than scattered terrorist attacks.
We've already gone through two generations—and there's a third maturing—for whom magic is just as commonplace as the internet once was. (Of course, the internet is still around.)
Just don't be surprised if you come across an elf wearing sneakers and a baseball cap, drinking a Starbucks, and tapping away at a Mac laptop. Of course, you're still unlikely to come across one like that, be it in New York, Tokyo, London, or Moscow, unless you can get your hands on a pass for the city sector occupied by the magic races. That's your best shot.
The only place where you're sure to bump into someone from one of the magic races is Myers City, the capital of Atlantis deep in the Pacific Ocean. The birthplace of magic.
But how did magic come to be?
Who was the Prophet?
Why was the Magic Lens created?
Alex Doom, also known as Alexander Dumsky, had no idea.
And who is Alex Doom?
Good question.

Alexander Dumsky, or Alex Doom, was a dark wizard. At the age of seventeen, he was convicted of a litany of crimes so long that even the seasoned investigators, judges, and prosecutors involved in the case could only shudder.
Not a single attorney could be found to defend him in court.
But four years later, Alex was released from prison to become the Professor of Dark Magic. They'd thrown him into the deepest hole they could find, one built for the sole purpose of holding wizards, and then they let him back out again...
Why him? Why then?
Oh, you're not surprised to hear talk of wizardry? Well, then you probably know that the Magic Lens, which was invented in 2032, let humans see and use magic again.
Or do you know?
Glad to introduce you one more of my top series "Dark Wizard's case". The book is just started translating from Russian into English. Active publishing of the chapters will begin in March. Now you can add the book to your marks to get the new chapters on time.

I never really expected much from life but I guess no one really expected much from me, either.
As a kid, I always was the weird kid for not trying to start relationships with other people. I mostly just skated through life. For good reason, though.
As far back as I could remember my luck has been...abysmal at best.
Any time I tried to make friends with someone, something bad would happen. Nothing too crazy if you don't count that one time in first grade I accidentally tripped and knocked my entire lunch on a girl I was acquainted with. Oh, or that other time I was laughing at a popular kid's jokes and spit my milk all over him. And that time in second-grade physical education when I threw a ball in dodgeball and it ricocheted off of at least five kids' heads. Yeah, some of them received light concussions from that...
If you still think that it was just coincidences or all in my head, then what about that time in freshman year when I was joking about Todd Forester just to find out he was in the hospital and needed serious surgery that day. Or when one of the popular girls invited me to Prom and stood me up. Okay, maybe that one was just a coincidence but it still hurt me for years!
Don't even get me started about my early college years! My life was starting to look up as I managed to skip a grade and start college earlier. A new face in a sea of strangers. I was finally going to turn my luck around and I did at first. Nothing too bad happened, and I even got my first girlfriend. So far so good!
I majored in Computer Science and minored in Web Design. I even helped start some successful projects with some new friends. We were gaining a lot of traction on Kickstarter. Our effort was just starting to bear fruit. Eventually, we made and released the mobile game we made called Arcadian Records. It became a hit especially with those who were fans of Gacha games.

I only helped with getting the Kickstarter and website together so I didn't gain too much money or fame. They even forgot to list my name in the credits, but I digress.
I was still happy that my life was turning around.
Well until one day my girlfriend came to me asking to break up. She had told me that she suspected me of cheating and had proof. When I had asked her to show me the proof, she couldn't but still insisted that we should break up.
I was heartbroken.
The love of my life had walked out of my life and she took a part of me with her.
I soon found myself becoming more and more saddened by her departure. I threw myself into my work to try and forget about her. The days passed and they soon turned into months. Eventually, I became well-known in the gaming community for my impressive bug fixes. I started to find solace in that fact.
I often spent much of my free time after work browsing Reddit and tech sites. I didn't want to lose my skills and wanted to continue to stay on top of software bugs, common or otherwise.
Before I knew it, I gained a sort of following online as the Bug Fix King. They often praised my work as both quick and efficient. I was happy again. This is what I would be known as.
I often flaunted my know-how and bug fix techniques to my co-workers to their dismay. Eventually, I was called to Human Resources many times for being 'obnoxious 'and 'rude.' I tried to tone it down after that but the power was getting to me.
For the first time in my life, I was in power. I was liked and not bullied. I felt in control and Reddit was fueling my ego and self-worth. I couldn't just stop. They must be in sheer awe of the Bug Fix King. Of course, that must be it.
So, whenever a co-worker asked me for help in identifying what kind of bug they had and what kind of fix was needed for it, I just told them. Of course, I would only tell them if they referred to me by my Reddit Handle: Bug Fix King.
I was once again called to Human Resources.
"You're fired."
"Wait, what? Why may I ask?"
The secretary at the desk stared deeply into my eyes causing me to sweat intensely.
"Let's see where to start, shall we?" She was in a black office swivel chair, the same as the last time I saw her. She moved along the floor with ease as she rolled aside as she leaned over to open a filing cabinet.
She was wearing a black blouse over a white buttoned-up shirt. The first two buttons weren't buttoned so her skin was exposed revealing a bit of cleavage. I couldn't help but try to get a little peek. ' I can't believe it has been six months since Jess broke up with me...I haven't even been on a date in over half a year! I wonder would she go on a date with me. No, wait, what am I talking about! She's about to fire me after all...'
She pulled out a large manilla folder causing me to immediately jump back.
"I wasn't looking or anything! I promise!"
The secretary cocked her head to the side with a confused look on her face.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Armeyer?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all..." I quickly shift myself in my seat. "So, how are you?"
The secretary continued to give me a look. Her eyebrows slightly raise as she looks at me like I'm a madman. 
'Maybe I am turning into a lunatic..."
"I am fine, Mr. Armeyer. Now here is a list of all of the reports from your co-workers about your recent behavior."
"My recent behavior? But, I don't think I have been treating my co-workers badly or anything." She hands me the envelope as I open it up. 'There's a lot of papers in here...Wait, and they're all about me?!'
I continued to flip through the files as I scanned them all over. 'Why are there so many? What the heck! I have only been a loyal worker through and through? And some of these go back a couple of months. This one is the worst of them all!'
I pull one of the files and put it in front of the others. At the top is a name I was more than familiar with. It was the name of a co-worker I've been friendly with recently. Marcus Porter, a new co-worker I recently started to mentor here.
'Even Michael, huh?' I felt betrayed and quite possibly, bamboozled. Every day, I shared all of my best bug fixes with him and even gave him a personal recommendation to our District Manager. I know I'm awkward sometimes and I have bad interpersonal skills, but I'm willing to work on this!
"Please, give me another chance! I don't want to be a jobless person who spends all their time reading manga or light novels in their room all day! Onegai! Er, I mean please!"
The secretary could only shake her head at me, even as I was on the verge of tears.
"If this was your first or second offense, then I would be all for giving you another chance but you've been here more than twice. Honestly, you were going to be fired sooner but due to your amazing track record we continued to employ you."
I couldn't understand what I was hearing...I was going to be fired and lose my dream job. But wait they can't fire me yet! It's just as she said, my amazing track record is too great! If I were to bring that up...'
Just as I was about to open my mouth, she stopped me.

"If you are going to tell me something like 'how are you going to replace someone like me', then you can forget it. We already have just the person to replace you. You should already know him since you taught him everything you knew."
'No...it can't be...'
"We have chosen Marcus Porter to be your replacement. He has already accepted your old position and is all ready to start tomorrow morning."
Her words broke me. 'Marcus...you bastard! How could you? I placed you under my care and you backstab me like this!"
"You can pack up all of your things and head home. Your final check will be in the mail. Have a wonderful day, Mr. Bug Fix King."
"Alright...Wait, w-what did you just say?"
"I said have a wonderful day, Mr. Armeyer"
"Will do..." I quickly went back to my desk to gather my things. 'I probably just misheard her or something. It's not like anybody here knows my online persona or anything. Even if they did, It's not like it would change anything.'
I gathered all my stuff in an old storage box we had lying around in the office and drove home.
"Haah~ I can't believe they fired me...At least I have some savings gathered up but how long would that last."
I couldn't help but start to feel lost again. The first time in a while where I had little to nothing else to put my time into. Well, besides Reddit and video games.
'Speaking of, I wonder how those guys are doing...I haven't really talked to them since college. That, and the game becoming super successful.
I decided to sit down at my computer in my room. I flipped the light switch and was greeted with my messy room. There were shirts and other articles of clothing littered around that I had forgotten to put away. 'Well, it's not like I forgot per see. I've just been so into work...No, I don't even want to talk about work so let's not bring that up right now.'
I decided to make my way to the computer and the first thing I saw was my wallpaper. The one with both me and Jessica in it.
"We looked so happy then..."
It took everything I had to quickly open up a tab to hide the wallpaper in front of me. Though this wasn't a permanent fix, it was all I could think to do at the moment. I would change the wallpaper but I would also be running away from my past. I would be lying if I said that I no longer had any feelings for her anymore. Some part of me still wishes we could get back together.
I decided to quickly clear my mind as I thought about what to look up.
'Well after a long, hard day at work, why not unwind with something nice, huh? Come on, it's been so long since you've last done 'it', right? So, what are you waiting for?'
I couldn't help it. I couldn't hold myself back any longer. These urges were beyond any modern mortal's control! They were now a way of life.
My fingers danced across my keyboard as I typed in the same keywords as I have always done. It was almost like clockwork.
I hit the enter key.
I was now ready to do 'it'.
I was now ready to play video games again.
I was greeted with the same words just as I had remembered they sounded like.
"Welcome to Arcadian Records, brave player!"

Jacob Armeyer was a 23-year-old freelance game designer. One day he had gotten a job to work on another bug in the sequel to the hit mobile game, Arcadian Records. After hours of looking for the bug, he found nothing and went home deciding to try again the next day. On his way back, however, he was suddenly knocked onto the ground by an escaping robber. Upon coming to, he found himself in front of God and was told he died from the fall due to his bad luck. But he would be given the chance to live again in another world of his choosing! 

'I wish I could find out what happened with that bug before Arcadian Records sequel launches..."
"So, you want to be reincarnated into the world of Arcadian Records, then. A fine choice! I will send you there immediately."
"Wait, that's not what I meant!"

(C/// hey losers reading this, I am Creator. Im not the one narrating this, but I can use my Creator abilities to interject with hilarious commentary. Creator, Away!)


Richard sat, blank faced, facing his computer. He absent-mindedly browsed through a reddit forum. 

To all extents, Richard is a giant fucking loser. monumentally, overwhelmingly, abhorrently loser-y. He failed essentially all of his schooling (C/// on account of his overinflated ego convincing him that he could pass without studying) and never went to university (C/// because, quite frankly, nobody wanted him. would you?). He decided that the best way to spend the prodigious inheritance his insanely rich parents left behind was to blow it all on getting fat and playing Darkest Dungeon (C/// if you can afford to buy the whole dev team, there's a slight chance that you're playing a mediocre game). Using more colloquial terms, he was a through and through NEET (C/// of course, in his case, NEET stood for Not Even Equal to Turds). 

As he browsed disinterestedly, he saw a post that caught his eye (C/// does it mention food?) that said: Click here for dank memes! (C/// Ew. Who the fuck says 'Dank' in this day and age?) Incensed, Richard prepared his white knight blade to invade the filthy thread and flame the poster. however, upon clicking it, he got a notification: 

MEMESENSE ACQUIRED. ONE WEEKLY CREATION ALLOWED.

'The fuck?' He muttered. He clicked off of it, and got up to stretch. If there's one thing he disliked, it was pop-ups. He went to the bathroom and sat down on his throne. While waiting, he pulled his phone out and started browsing Instagram (C/// Using? checking? what's the correct verb for Instagram?). 
He saw a meme: Some garbage about the Peepee Poopoo Man. 'can you imagine how fucking lame that would be if it were real?' he thought. However, with that one thought, he initiated a chain of events that almost destroyed the world. 
(C/// it wasn't really the world. It still sucked, just not... globally.)
