As the person emerged from the cards on the ground, the cards around him began to rush on his body slowly, and his face remained unseen except his smile, a mask covered his face as the cards around him created a suit on his body.
He's wearing a clean shirt and left it unbuttoned at the top for a more casual look. On top of the shirt he's wearing a sleek vest with four buttons, it has a deep v-line, which causes the vest to remain hidden when the suit's jacket is buttoned up.
The jacket is a perfectly tailored fit for him. It has a tight herringbone pattern which gives the suit a more formal and elegant look. The four buttons of his single-breasted jacket are all buttoned up with the exception of one, and it adds a casual touch to a classic look.
Pants which copy the style of the jacket, both in color and pattern and they're a perfect match for his shoes. A modest pair of plain toe monk straps. To top it all off, he's wearing a sleek belt, which can be accompanied by cuff links and a watch.
Holding his cane, he began to tap the ground with it and hum to a type of beat which I seem to like.

The man looked at me while smiling, "Welcome, to my place… Ace", The man, smiled as he hit his cane again and the scenery around us changed into a simple room with two chairs and one table.
I moved over to the chair and took a seat, followed by the man who sat on the opposite direction of me. "I believe you should know what this place is, and it is confusing me how the overlords have allowed you to even have a choice on it" The man laughed as a teacup appeared on his hand which he took a sip from.
"Quite a show and replying on your curiosity, I didn't pick this place, it picked me" I smiled as I changed my outfit to match the man outfit through a thought.
The man looked at me with a bright smile, "Good, no! This is great! Fabulous!" sudden change in his personality, he began to act weird while spreading his arms around, spraying the area around us with tea.
"Calm yourself down, I probably will have to pick this role, so what is it?" I asked him as I placed my arms on the armrest to support my head.
The man nodded his head stupidly, "This is the circus!" He replied while nodding his head again…
"Am I su-" As I was about to ask him further his face changed from smiling to serious, "Let me tell you something, every role such as this are beyond rare, no one gets here without being unlucky… such as you and your kind."
"What?" I looked at him shocked, he smiled and continued with his serious look, "What you played around with a while ago was just a small part of the power you will obtain, as for me? I am your servant, your loyal retainer."
He stood up and exploded into cards filling the entire surrounding of the room, I was clueless, yet I saw something that shocked me, every card contained a code.
"What is this?" I asked him as I saw a familiar script that is too dangerous to be seen by anyone floating among the thousands of cards.
"A trickster asks no question, and he tricks his friends and enemies equally for information!" A voice appeared within the surrounding of the cards floating around me. Slowly they began to spin around me, and after a few seconds, a card flew inside of my body.
"Kurgh" I grabbed my head from the pain, can't I rest already! What kind of trial is this!
One by one, the cards entered my body, information began to flood my head, languages I haven't heard about appeared, information about nearly everything in this universe!
I fell on to my knees holding my head, my entire body was shivering, but my face was slowly turning into the same smiling face that the man had.
[Initiating system… 1...2...3…]
'Hehehe' I was smiling while I fell onto the ground, a cane began to materialize on my hand, my body began to float above the ground.
"Big Boss!" A voice of a beast emerged from my body.
"Trickster! Trickster!" A child's voice was also coming out of my body, a delighted voice.
"Oh, King! Oh, Queen! Ohhhh Jack!" an old lady voice also appeared, singing her happiness out.
[System Initiation completed, preparing to install...1...2...3]
"This is not who I am" Trying to control my personality, and I discovered the voices disappeared, and within a second I appeared back on my chair.
Raising my head, I looked at myself, holding a mask. "Time to teach you on how to use your role well!" he said with a smile before hitting his cane twice on the ground and disappearing.
"This will take a long time…" I said as my body flashed from its place.

"It has been two weeks since he left! Where is he?!" Liel (Ace Mother) said as she was pacing our the tavern, with a worried look on her face.
Yama looked pissed off, "Hmph, he will be beaten up for sure!", sprouting smoke from his nose, he drank his beer hard.
The rest were sitting around on a table discussing the current situation, and some looked extremely worried like Angela, Rain, and Viktor.
Ison and Johnson were sitting around the table drinking, chatting and playing cards as if its nothing serious.
Marco and Haruto were sitting on the bar counter that has been made a while ago while reviewing their papers and discussing it among themselves.
Rose was nowhere to be seen as usual except when the guild master is there. The other four systems were working in the basement as usual.
Emma looked worried as she was sitting with Liel comforting her. Emma prayed hard for his return 'Please come back safely!'
------------
Yawn! I placed my hands to cover my mouth as I kept walking around the space while guiding my cane to hit parts of the space slowly. "I should be back in a few minutes huh… life is amazing"
Eve.ry time the cane hit the space, cracks appeared, and monsters appeared out of the crack itself. As Excited as I am to meet my family, I began to sing a happy song.
