《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.

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.
