Synopsis

As Travis, a former Army Intel Officer, sits on his couch after work a strange man knocks on his door. After some commotion Travis gets his package. Inside is what looks like a normal gym bag, though with no markings on it, and a leather-bound journal.  Neither item seems to be remarkable until he notices his name embossed on the cover, with the words "Main Character" underneath.
He opens it up to see that someone has really put a lot of thought into this. It not only marks him down as the MC but has a list of his attributes and on subsequent pages there are 'skills' he apparently has. Luckily or unluckily, he wasnt sure, but the 'magic' section was blank. Now Travis is no gamer and has no familiarity with the lingo, no less the rules of an RPG. So, when he sees that this journal is a magic item, growth item and a bound item it doesn't mean much to him.
Soon after he turns on the TV to see that a series of natural disasters is laying waste to huge swatches of the country, the USA, and the world. As if things haven't been strange already, he hears a ping which leads him to the 'missions' page of his new magic journal. Okay this is just weird now, because there is a mission for him to leave his home city of Philadelphia and go to what the book refers to as a safe zone.
Then a timer that was on the page starts ticking down... ok WTF is going on?
Join Travis as he tries to figure out what is going on. He was chosen as the MC for a reason. Travis is known for being one of the coolest customers under pressure, so the DM, yes there is a DM, wanted him as his lead player in what is basically a hobby for the entity that can control our earth as he please.
Nope you read that right, I said "our" earth, which means there are others. Who is this DM, why does he have power over us, why are there other earths and what is the deal with this game? Those are questions that will remain a mystery to both our MC and you the reader. As you read look for clues and easter eggs which unlock the puzzle, or wait for Travis and his trusty companion Clyde to figure it out!
