This is (kinda) part of The Witcher books. Ciri hops universes and gets stuck on Earth during the black plague. When she hops back to her own universe, she unknownly takes a bit back with her, thus starting the Catriona plague on The Continent.

Not the actual Earth, right? Just a similar planet.

Nope, actual Earth.

Alright, I’m sure you’re more familiar with it than me. But side point: could Andrej Sepkowsky not have thought of a slightly more creative name for Ciri’s world than ‘The Continent’? Also, does that refer to just that continent on the world, or also islands like Skellige, and any other undiscovered continents on the same world, such as their equivalents or America and Australia?

Probably, but as far as I’m aware ‘The Continent’ as a name only came into being with the awful Netflix show. But yeah, the name supposedly just references the whole of The Witcher world as of the end of the last book. As far as I’m aware, nothing was ever written about other continents by Sepkowsky.
