20 December 2019. 10 days left till doomsday.
General Rico got a message from Alex, today he makes the time to meet him in Surabaya. Something about returning the favor, the general hate owing favor so he took a day off and came to see him. The meeting takes place in one of the office building in the center of the city. The Randall enterprise.
Since his miraculous escape from the terrorist base, General Rico has managed to uproot 3 more terrorist cells in Indonesia. The president just gave him another medal yesterday. He's probably the most famous general in Indonesia right now.
The General feels indebted to Alex for saving him from the terrorist base. He found him very mysterious. The stone Alex gave to him currently still on the General mind. Since consuming it, the general physical strength has returned to his younger self, even better.
The Randall enterprise, world fortune 500 company. Currently, the general came not wearing any uniform or even bring his officers. This Alex guy told him to come to this building. The general wonder what relation Alex had to this billionaire. A beautiful reception leads him to the waiting lounge.
BRRR...BRRR...BRRR
The general mobile phone got multiple vibrate, this is normally mean something urgent came up and he got news from multiple sources. But the general is on-off duty today, and there is a beautiful girl in front of him.. he will take care of it later... the general enjoys his daily flirting.
BRRRRRŔRRR...BRRRRRRRR. A phone call
"Halo general, are you in front of the tv right now? please check it out"
The general walk to the living room next to the lounge, and saw some people staring at the Tv news.
In the tv, there is a man in his 60s talking in front of a group of reporters in a press conference setting. There is international news like the CNN, and BBC news.

"Haloo. I am here to tell you a very important information. You might think that it's crazy, nevertheless I hope you will still hear it till the end"
"From my 40 years of research and studies of hundred relics. I found very disturbing news. The world as we know it will be facing the biggest catastrophes ever. At the end of this year on the 31st, there will be a global electromagnetic pulse disaster covering the whole world. All electrical equipment will be fried. There will be no way to communicate and there will be chaos."
"And this is only the first disaster, the second one will be global pandemic diseases that will affect all living being in this world. There will be no cure and no hope for those who caught the disease. The disease will affect the animal to be stronger and aggressive and the one who died from the disease will turn back life into a living monster"
"On the 31st December, I suggest just stay at home. Do not go on any vehicles especially airplanes. When your relative or people around you caught the disease, be with them and say your final farewell. Cry for them but then, this is very important. Do not bury them, Burn them"
"Be prepared, foods, weapons, and shelter. Help each other. The relics write something about a massive structure that will drop from the sky a few months after the plague. Take your refuge there, do not wait around, the monster will only get stronger. The stronger monster will drop a crystal that will help human get stronger. I will show you."
The video then shows a thin and sickly person being given a white crystal and suddenly become as healthy and strong as an Olympic athlete.
"Please share this news, for those wants more answer, we will gather in Singapore 23 December at noon. If not, on the 31st when the first sign shows up do not forget my message. May the God save us all"

General Rico takes this message seriously. First, the message was played on all channel. It means that it was highly funded. It takes very skilled hackers and lots of resources to hack the world media channels.
Second, Rico is a cop he can read a person, he can tell the professor telling the truth or at least he believes it to be the truth. And it's quite easy to just google, and check that this really is a real Harvard professor.
Third, the general recognize that white stone. That's the same stone Alex gave to him. This might be related to Alex. At the very least he should find and ask this professor.
"There you are... you are late general" Alex walk up to the general with three-person, A guy with a wooden stick on his hand, an old man and a girl.
"I see you saw that video message, this will be easier then. let me introduce you this is Mr. James Randall, I believe as a police officer you already know him. Next is the professor from Harvard as you see from the video."
"Oh yes... and this is Aria she's from the army"
"..."
"This is general Rico, the one I talked about before"
Alex thanks James Randall for preparing a production team and team of hackers. This is the third favor he asked of The Randalls, and the fourth one will be the preparation of the gathering in Singapore on the 23rd. Alex gave him the two stones he promised. James already has totaled 6 stones, this should be enough for him to become high stage human realm, this way he wont need a walking stick anymore.
Next Alex tells his reason for asking the general to come here. It's to give the professor into his care. By helping Alex, the professor face already widely known, he could be in danger. Alex asks the general to put the professor into the protective custody program and deliver him to Singapore in 3 days.
Alex is really grateful that the professor willing to read the script Alex wrote. Since launching his book his reputation already ruin anyway. The professor hopes in his last day he would give a meaningful impact to the world.
The general asks "Despite it being true or fully fictional, do you think that the viewer will believe you?"
Alex respond "Even if I manage to only convince one in every 100, I would already be satisfied, I have done my duty to the world, but then I am sure when the first sign already proven, there will be more people who have view this video to believe me and prepared for the next disaster"
All over the world that day, more than 500 million people watch this, the hackers didn't just play it on the TV but he also uploads it into the youtube. The video become viral and full of comment"

"I bet next you will say that she's really pretty"
"...."
" I have seen the video it's cool"
" I bet it's a trailer for the next Avenger's movie"
"It's more likely to be the next season of Game of Throne"

The Casual
Notice: On hiatus. *profanity tag added just in case a bit of swearing is required, but I'll try to keep it as profanity-lite as possible* RealWorldIII came with the motto "Bringing the imagination back into the gaming" with an innovative skill combination system that promises to create unique (see: not-actually-unique) characters tailored to each player's preferences (see: we-swear-it's-not-random) Alex is a random guy with the motto "Well... whatever" with a history of being at the top of the gaming scene (see: he was a kid back then) that after twenty years of working for daily necessities finds himself facing a tough dilemma: do I go back to being a corporate slave, or do I gain money by playing a game no questions asked? (see: not really a dilemma) The only question is, can an actual "casual", even if ex-pro, survive constantly playing a game? or will he end banging his head on the wall? The story will unfold mainly in-game, with little if any real life events happening.

The Guild
The world is broken. The apocalypse came and went, and only a fragment of humanity is left, scrambled into an unrecognizable mess. The remainders of the earth are filled with monsters from imagination and worse. Gates open periodically, leading to alien worlds, while dungeons form from damaged minds, creating nightmares for the unsuspecting. Some might see it as the end times. A hellscape. A story of humans pushed to their breaking points, desperately grasping for the last bits of humanity as the world crumbles around them. But a few might disagree. One man, in particular, sees opportunity. A chance. A path forward, to bring humanity from the depths of despair and turn it into a victory - a luxury. To remake the world even better than it was, dragging earth forward onto the galactic stage. It will require violence, lies, betrayals, magic, more violence, and the occasional genocide. But, hey. Everything worth doing is hard, right?
