The modal ontological argument for God

P2. If a god exists in every possible world then it would exist in this world as this world is possible

What does "every possible world" even mean? I only know of one world (universe).

Or are we also taking into account the imaginary worlds? Like if god exists in a novel or a video game this also means that he exists in the real world as well?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
