《The Misadventures of Ray in an Alternate Universe》A new game, a new challenge.

Prologue
"Sigh. All these new strategy games and none of them truly pose a challenge to the great me, what a sad age of gaming we have arrived in." Ray shrugged his shoulders as he calmly exited the store, casually rubbing his head. "12 stores and none of their games can even give me a good challenge, maybe strategy games have just reached their limit. Ah well, perhaps I could find a better game online."
An hour of walking home, followed by 10 seconds of surfing the internet later. Ray stumbled upon something that caught his eye. "Oooooo, what's this?!"
A game development company known as real world entertainment was looking for game testers for their latest project War of Aetheria, featuring battles with magic, strategy and good ol' swords. Not only that, but they even have different races with big advantages and disadvantages leading to each race having different strategies that work for them, allowing for a great variety of playability. "A most interesting concept, i suppose i could register and offer my expert advice. It would be interesting to see such a thing since a lot of games I've been playing only feature epic human battles."
After signing up, ray waited a few seconds before a message popped up on his laptop notifying him of his accepted beta test status as well as an instruction manual. "Haha, took them long enough. Let's take a look at this."
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED TO BETA TEST WAR OF AETHERIA. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR DETAILS ABOUT INSTALLATION, CONTROLS AND RULES OF THE WORLD.
Getting Started
Welcome to the World of Aetheria young traveller, my name is Bob. I will be guiding you through the laws of this world.
Wonder who thought it was a good idea to give him the name Bob...

The World of Aetheria is split into 6 continents, each continent will have 1,000 factions from the different races. For example, one of the races being elves may be split into different factions some worshipping the sun god, some the moon and even the natural beauty of forest. The factions may be different but remember that ultimately they belong to one race.
The game functions like regular RPGs where you can level and learn skills, however one of the key features is that war between factions is impossible to avoid. Be prepared to run or fight, for this world is forever changing.
Lastly, good luck, have fun.....Wait what?
"THATS IT? No controls, no beginner starting help, only installation and world breakdown..."
Ray groaned as he plastered his hands into his face, god i hate games that make you find things out yourself, games like dank souls(Hah) are torture to me.
"But still, 6 continents with thousands of factions, sounds like a suitable challenger has arrived to fight against the great me! Mwahahahahaha!" With a sly grin and a new motivation for the future, Ray could only tremble with excitement as the game finally installed itself.
"Watch out world, here comes Ray, the god of strategy! Mwahahahahaha!"
Please insert VR Connector Cable.

....
Awkward.
To be Continued.

Father of Monsters
Earth and all of humanity is gone. like completely and utterly blown to cosmic space dust gone. Only one human managed to survive by pure luck of the draw. Leon Castro was pretty much your average joe. White guy, 5’11, brown eyes, dirty blond hair, and weighing in at around 160lbs. He was a guy with dreams of making it big someday in the future but having no real plan as to how he was going to achieve it. But Leon did have one thing going for him. He’d found a niche on the internet making videos that had gotten him quite a big following in the past year or so. Enough so that he could use the ad revenue to continue making those videos and not have to work another job to keep his tiny little apartment in Norfolk Virginia. The content of his videos was quite easily summed up in just a few words… Theoretical Monster Biology.This was the guy who survived. Transported to another world, where magic, a vaguely game like System, and Dungeons are a thing. (Warning) This is a first draft that has not been edited in any way. Directly from brain to word document. there is very little gore or sexual content early on but there will be. hence the tags. Cover Art was done by GGmadude over on the Discord.

Author's Rant
Just a disclaimer, this is not and never will be a story. I just, noticed I have a bad habit of wanting to rant in my author's notes, and have decided that, instead of accidentally doubling the length of each chapter with the author's note alone, I will shove those long-ass rants here. It might contain spoilers for my stories, as I usually wind up ranting about different parts I'm writing. So, if you actually enjoy my rants...well, firstly, what is wrong with you? Secondly, welcome! Time to figure out what tags to stick on this. Also, as of the second chapter, I have decided to shove some of my story ideas here. So if you enjoy half-baked, unfinished stories, then I got those too. I think that adds that short story tag?
