The Merge

First came the natural disasters. They were dismissed as climate change. Then came the new and previously unknown species of plants and animals. They were harder to ignore.

After much deliberation, the global science community reached a consensus: The fabric of our reality has been fractured. Parallel worlds have begun to seep into our planet.

A unified response to the global crisis has been delayed by incessant bickering and mutual distrust between world leaders.

When the Merge came in full force, it was too late. Entire landscapes have begun to bleed into our reality, causing earthquakes and hurricanes of unprecedented magnitudes all over Earth. With these landscapes came the alien Races from parallel worlds. At the same time, people began to manifest inexplicable powers that made them able to bend reality to their will. It was magic.

The shocked humanity responded with nukes. The nuclear holocaust lasted for a few weeks and ended in global annihilation, ending modern human civilization.
