The A͖̚̚n͎̭͍̮̻̯ͭͬͭͯ̒̆ͪo̖̭͂̐̑̔m̘̬͖͍͎̾a͖̹̹̱̠l̲̰͈̱̫̝̖̄̈̓̈̊y̤̤̅́̌͑ͥ
An elf walks through the woods looking for his bounty, only to find a human standing in a clearing. Something about this felt wrong, as though this moment should never have happened. The elf notices the human is holding something, a human head? No, that can't be, right? The elf pulls the string on his bow, aiming at the human's heart. He will put this human down before he can kill again. He closes his eyes and lets the arrow fly, only to feel a sharp pain pierce his back. The elf opens his eye only to see that he was now standing in the field, victim of his own arrow. He turns to face where he once stood, only to see the human, holding his bow.
A dwarf stands in a dark alleyway. She knows a young man walks through this way every day, and today she will take everything in his pockets. She hides in the darkness, not even the mice know of her presence. The young man passes by her. She leaves her hiding spot and turns him to face her, pleasing her knife against his neck. "Your gold, or your life," she whispers to him. Her plan was working perfectly. She stared into his eyes, before feeling a something by her stomach. She looks down to find that the man had run her through with his arm, yet she felt no pain. The shock of the moment subsided, as she felt herself changing. Not physically, no, her mind and soul were corrupted by his attack. She felt the power he gave her, this gift.

A young boy stands in the middle of the hall. He listens to the dice as they are thrown, the words the beings say are strange. They don't know of him yet, but he listens in. Soon, their avatars will arrive. He will spread this gift to them. They walk through the door, he knows it's them because the one of the beings describes his likeness. He begins to walk to them, ready to attack. "Roll initiative!" The boy never counted on them knowing where he was.

You and society must evolve. The City, the beautiful future you have seen in your visions will come into reality soon enough! The path to evolution will be...
DOMINATION
MIGHT IS RIGHT! You can choose three individuals to infect with the version of The Anomaly that you have. After 5d10 days, they will denounce their current leaders and come to you, their new glorious leader, and will do your orders. After 5d10 weeks, each of them will select their own three. this goes as long as you will allow it. They become amazing fighters and will do whatever you ask. However, they have a blood lust and will wish to see battle. This won't lead them to murder, but it will make it harder to have informants and spies in high ranking positions. If your DM allows you to found The City, it will be able to fight any outside threat but will be "unaccommodating" to anyone not infected. This can be changed, through a long and strenuous procedure.
CAPITALISM
MONEY TRULY IS THE KEY TO ETERNAL HAPPINESS! You can choose three individuals to infect with the version of The Anomaly that you have. After 5d10 days, they will denounce their current leaders and come to you, their new and very clever CEO, and will do your orders. After 5d10 weeks, each of them will select their own three. this goes as long as you will allow it. They will become awe-inspiring merchants and business owners, or very efficient employees. Due to this, they will get you 4d10x(Follower count) gold pieces per month. However, you will soon discover that your followers have become emotionless husks of their former selves. This will cause them to be great leaders, but unnerving in any other position. If your DM allows you to found The City, it will be a trade hub that will hold many shops and trade guilds but will be chocked by unnecessary bureaucracy. This can be changed, through a long and strenuous procedure.
RELIGION
IT'S TOUGH TO BE A GOD! You can choose three individuals to infect with the version of The Anomaly that you have. After 5d10 days, they will denounce their current leaders and come to you, their new benevolent God, and will do your orders. After 5d10x2 weeks, each of them will select their own three. this goes as long as you will allow it. They will become paladins and clerics who will serve in your name. Rather than leaving their posts, they will remain in their cities. They will feed you info and be your eyes and ears in the dark. However, you will soon realize that they seem to only infect people they deem as worthy of your gift, your blessing. If your DM allows you to found The City, It will be warm and inviting to outsiders and will be regarded as a safe haven for all. This will pose its own challenges, as not everyone in your perfect city will be infected. This can be changed, through a long and strenuous procedure.
