This will not be a typical story you would expect to find on this forum, and it's highly likely to fail to gain much popularity here. However, that will not prevent me from posting the first chapter.
This story is one I've written on another forum in which it has already achieved some level of success. I won't mention the forum by name as I don't recall this site's policy on mentioning the names of other sites, but if anyone is a member of that site they may have seen this already.
The first thing that will set this apart is that it will not be based on any anime, game, book, or fandom, but on real world events. This story will span the entire century from 2020 to 2100. Although it is real world-based, do expect some science-fiction as I progress.
The next is the way it is written. Each chapter will be a series of what looks like snippets from a news article rather than actions and dialogue. There won't be any character development, however that will be replaced by the development of nations and societies as the story progresses.
Now, let's begin this show with a great catastrophe.

Chapter I: Pacific Nuclear War
North Korean Nuclear Strikes in Pacific
July 2, 2020
At 8 AM PDT North Korea launched numerous nuclear attacks against targets across the Pacific. An estimated thirty-eight nuclear warheads were launched, and it is currently believed that twenty-one hit their targets. The rest were shot down or malfunctioned.
The targets hit were mostly civilian, although US bases were hit, including the naval base at Pearl Harbor. Each bomb had a yield between 20 and 40 kilotons, and the death toll is estimated to be in the millions. A full list of the cities struck will be listed below.
South Korea
Three over Seoul, including Yongsan
Busan
Japan
Three over Tokyo, one hitting the Atsugi airbase.
Kyoto
Osaka
Hiroshima
Nagasaki
Two over Okinawa, both US military bases.
US
Guam Military Base
Pearl Harbor
Honolulu
Kailua
Anchorage
Two over San Francisco
Los Angeles
Portland
Missiles fell over the Philippines and Taiwan, along with three more over Japan, but all failed to detonate and only caused minor damage. The rest were shot down by anti-missile systems, which were heading towards the United States.
The magnitude of these strikes has horrified the world, and the full-scope of the damage has yet to be realized, or has the motivation. President Whitley will address the world soon on this tragedy.

Emperor Akihito dead, Princess Toshi assumes throne. Prime Minister Oshiro survives
July 2, 2020. 4:54 PM CDT
The Imperial Palace was demolished by the attacks, and most of the imperial family, including the reigning emperor, has been killed. Princess Toshi, daughter of former heir Crown Prince Naruhito, was on vacation in the United States during the strikes, and has been declared Empress. Formal ceremonies will be postponed, however.
Prime Minister Oshiro has also been declared alive. He has so far not received any serious injuries, and not in the direction of the radiation. He is scheduled to make a speech this evening, after Whitley's.
-----------------------------------------------------
South Korean government demolished.
July 2, 2020. 4:54 PM CDT
The entire leadership of South Korea, including President Kyung Yeong, has been killed by the attack on Seoul.
Local authorities have taken measures, with help from military forces, in maintaining authority. Martial law has been declared until North Korea is dealt with.
-----------------------------------------------------
Death Toll
5:00 PM CDT
The casualties so far include 3,080,376 dead and 7,707,961 injured. The United States suffered 695,465 deaths and 1,222,484 injuries, Japan suffered 1,266,541 deaths and 3,066,537, and South Korea has suffered 1,118,370 deaths and 3,418,940 injuries.
-----------------------------------------------------
President Whitley Speech
6:30 PM CDT
"This morning this nation and her allies suffered the most brutal assault in history. This attack was the result of a sociopath, the Hitler of the twenty-first century, Kim Jong-un.
I can already assure you that full retaliation against the aggressors is already underway. They will pay the price for the innocent lives they took today, the price that comes with starting a nuclear war. I promise to all of my fellow Americans, and to our allies, that this threat will be no more. This war will be over before the week is up.
Even after the war ends, however, the ordeal will be far from over. The damage this sociopath has wrought upon us is unfathomable, and will take years, perhaps decades, to rebuild. For many who survived the attacks the nightmare will never really end, and will stick with them for the rest of their lives. Even though, our nations will recover to their full potential. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Anchorage, Tokyo, Seoul, and all of the cities hit by nuclear weapons will be rebuilt stronger than ever.
After the crisis is over we must remain vigilant on keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of rogue nations and sociopaths to insure that this will never happen again.
To my fellow humans, I wish you good luck. "
-----------------------------------------------------
The retaliation against North Korea comes almost immediately after the president's speech. Nuclear weapons strike North Korea's capital in Pyongyang and all military installations throughout the country. The warheads used by the United States in this attack range from 500 kilotons to 1.4 megatons. Experts believe the death toll to be around 3 million, mostly military.
Immediately after the bombs dropped forces at the DMZ begin engaging North Korean units in combat. Despite larger numbers US-South Korean forces quickly cut through enemy lines, and moves faster once air units begin bombing enemy positions.
-----------------------------------------------------
Chinese officials condemn US use of nukes on North Korea.
8:45 PM CDT
Xi Jinping, President of then People's Republic of China, has issued a statement of condemnation against the United State's
unilateral use of nuclear weapons against North Korea, saying that is was a "extremely colossal and unnecessary response".
While Chinese officials have not yet commented on the opening of conventional conflict along the DMZ, they have warned the United States that any further nuclear attacks by them will be seen as an act of war against China.
-----------------------------------------------------
China Invades North Korea, US continues war from the South.
July 3, 2020 7:50 AM CDT
Despite last night's condemning of the US for their attack on North Korea, China has launched their own offensive against the fracturing regime.
Although they cite North Korea's failed attack on Taiwan as the cause, many agree they merely want to prevent a complete loss of their sphere of influence and to save face.
Reports indicate that the Chinese forces have already entered several North Korean cities, facing little resistance from the decimated North Korean military.
The United States and South Korea continue their advances, although forces along the DMZ proof more difficult, as these areas were not hit with nuclear weapons out of fear of endangering US and South Korean forces, but progress is being made.
-----------------------------------------------------
China sends Washington, Seoul outlines for post-war divisions.
12:50 PM CDT
Just hours after Chinese forces invade North Korea they outline their plans to carve up the belligerent nation once the war ends.
The deal seems to be in the West's favor with US/South Korea getting most of the peninsula, however it is unclear whether or not the Western alliance will agree to it. There's a fair number of individuals who want a full reunification. Officials have yet to respond on this issue.

New Missile Defense Systems Failed, why?
1:30 PM CDT
When the upgrades to the missile defense systems around the Pacific in 2017 promised that North Korea's new long-range missiles could not even make it to Japan we thought we were safe. Yesterday's attack proves otherwise.
Further investigation reveals the systems failed to respond to multiple missile launches, and as a result managed to stop less than 30% of the incoming missiles. Further investigation into the error will be needed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
China, US-Alliance Makes Progress.
July 4, 2020 11:00 AM CDT
Chinese forces have reached the new proposed borders, and have already begun to secure their holdings.
US and South Korean forces have defeated the North Korean military along the DMZ and have reached as far in as Singpyong and Sariwon. General James D. Thurman has issued a statement saying they will meet with the Chinese forces by the 7th.
So far both sides have reported almost no opposition from the civilian populations, many soldiers reported that they merely look at them in fear and flee to their homes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kim Jong-un Lives!!!
5:30 PM CDT
Chinese, and US-allied forces in North Korea, and even civilians in South Korea, picked up on a live streaming video from some unknown location, in which Kim Jong-un delivers a short message.
Translated to English.
"Citizens, we have won. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has obliterated the imperialist empires in the West, and Korea is united. We now control the world, and we can bring civilization to the imperialists."
Experts can't agree on whether this was merely propaganda, or, based on his behavior and previous events if he actually believed what he was saying.
This is the first contact to the West from North Korea's Supreme Leader since his traffic accident two years ago.
This now raises the question: Is he still sane? Could the attacks have been the results of insanity?
More on this story as events continue to unfold.

North Korea Falls! Pacific Nuclear War ends!
July 8, 2020 12:35 PM CDT
The Alliance forces have defeated the North Korean military and reached the Chinese-controlled lines in the North. Most of their fighting force has been killed or surrendered, effectively ending the war.
Kim Jong-un has not been discovered, and he has made no further attempts to contact anyone. It is assumed that he is hiding in a bunker somewhere, and a search will be made so he can stand trial and possibly explain the millions now dead.
Leaders of the West Alliance and Chinese officials are scheduled to meet in Bern to discuss the fate of North Korea later this evening. It is still unknown as to whether the West has accepted China's proposal or not.
And although the war has ended, it will take years and trillions of dollars to fully recover. Some areas and cities may never recover. Seoul is considered by many experts to be too badly damaged to be used as a capital for future government. As well as all US military bases that were struck, including the one at Pearl Harbor, will likely not be rebuilt. As well, any businesses headquartered in the destruction zones will suffer great losses, and some are expected to collapse completely.
This disaster rings loudly that even a nuclear war, even one this limited, will devastate our global society.

Note, it will be awhile before the next update, as the other board I'm posting each update by individual news snippets rather than by chapter.
