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:

* Tiger

* Serpent

* Elephant

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.
