Ascendance of the Drug Addicted Chemist

Wayne Argen had nothing left to live for. So, when the sun exploded and Earth finally died, he welcomed the end. Unfortunately, death was only the beginning for him, because Earth hadn't been destroyed. It had been repurposed. An incomprehensible race of higher beings has transformed the planet into the battlefield for a war between alien civilizations. Before the conflict begins, Earth's survivors are given an unpresented opportunity. Resurrection. Choose a faction, a class, and gain the power of mana under the guidance of a system to fight beneath another race's banner. An incredible opportunity that Wayne refuses. After spending his entire life as someone else's weapon, he will never serve another master. Now, with less than a year before Angels, Demons, and countless other races descend upon Earth, Wayne must grow stronger than anyone thought possible. As he delves into dungeons with his chemist-based powers, every substance he could ever imagine is right at his fingertips. Both lethal gases and his personal narcotics. The countdown has already begun, and if Wayne wants to stop this hostile takeover, creating weapons won't be enough. He'll have to become one. What to expect: - Sentient and creative magic-based system - Realistic chemistry-based powers - Earned level progression with skills, professions, and classes
