ADANNU SIMULATION and DIRECTORS

The major plot twist that all of the worlds are inside a simulation,  the Adan-nu Simulation. Named after a bare Sumerian/Akkadian translation meaning "time capsule". 

MECHANICS: 

DIRECTORS: 

Headed by one Super Director, these AIs supervise much of the simulation's mechanics, from physics, terrain and weather, to management of character data, dates and animal behavior. 
Each Director is it's own "person" assigned to specific tasks. They don't have any human resemblance, however rarely are they "seen" by some individuals who then become prophets and interpret them as gods. 

MELISSA'S CODE:  One of the Directors was programmed with a code wherein it will implant instructions on the DNA of random elves across the world "to save Adrian in case of contact". Even when Adrian modified things, the coded script still lived on without issue.  Those who possess the code however
This way, it's as if Zitana isn't given the chosen one treatment. But Adrian does...
However...
ADRIAN'S GLITCH:  Adrian modified the Directors and in turn created mass glitches. When warnings were sent to him about impending crashes, he ignored it and raged with the "Overwrite" prompt. The consequences are:

• As Emperor Auxila Fang of the Dark Elves, he used the script to forcibly change personalities and memories of the Eunuchs to make them corrupt and incompetent, as well as other bureaucrats and warlords which helped in the collapse of said Empire. 
• Director of Data began glitching: misplaced character souls, etc. Certain individuals like Baldman and Zitana later gain ADMIN ACCESS in their deaths. Melissa's code proceeds without issue. Vision and interface issues are reported amongst NPCs. 
• Director of Physics began glitching new "magics": the Ainu Elves accidentally unlocked the codes of the simulation, thus "discovering the Creation Spells of the 7 Moon Gods". 
• Director of Behavior began glitching: various denizens experienced "diseases" such as loss of memory or having new false memories, memory rewrites due to PTSD, sudden personality changes after seizures, "visions" of god, magical suicides, etc. 
• Director of Weather began glitching: incidents of "multi-disasters" or the happening of multiple disasters all at once at certain regions (like earthquake-rains) become apparant. 
• Director of Worlds began glitching: "Lag worlds" become more common, ultimately turning into frozen worlds or black holes such as those in not-Africa and not-Finland. 
• Director of Flora and Fauna began glitching: Certain animals are accidentally given human behavior, creating mutations and rare cases of IQ increase amongst mated species...

Overtime as the world aged, the glitches occurred with greater intensity....
As it is revealed by Zelissa in the epilogue...
