The platform began to erode, and my heart started to race, the butterflies in my stomach started to fly up to my throat. I was scared of what was to happen, the platform became distorted and the lights of the area around me felt and looked 2D, the sound and smell was dull but the shock was there.
"where am I," I wondered with my hands on my face
The moving sky made me feel so uneasy a couple moments later a sudden shift in movement occurred around me, "ZOOM" a land I haven't seen before was there, monsters, cards floating on towers appeared, trees, rugged land, and a path of cards to a castle card structure started to place itself, my body was trembling with excitement because of the beautiful scene of the land laying itself out.
All you could see were a vast land with a beautiful blue sky, floating cards, birds replaced with flying books, and miniature stars surrounding the area. This place was a wonderland full of possibilities, but as I was ogling the sweet scent around me I came back to my senses trying to tense myself to release the trembling in my body. as that happened an objective popped up in front of me then zoomed out of focus.
"try to release your grimoire by thinking about the title of your skill"
I proceeded to close my eyes and thought about the word.
"GRIMOIRE OF MYSTERY"
As I thought of it a catalog appeared in front of me with a shape of a box and it said select your appearance. The only problem about this was that the only appearance I could choose was an outfit that had a black top hat, black lavish coat, white polo, black skinny pants, and black shoes that complemented the outfit.
In my head, "doesnt look too bad I mean, I don't dislike it, it just looks petty."
There was no dislike in the matter, since there's no way of changing outfits. When I slowly lock my eyes down to the bottom left of the outfit there was a book that had no color, it was see through yet had the layout of stars on the cover that made it look like a book, the top of it read, "weapon/transform." There was an arrow that was outlined white, so I pressed on it.
A black cane appeared and the title changed to:
"transform/weapon"
I quickly found out that the cane transformed into the book and guessing that the book was the grimoire. Being quickly fascinated by this I pressed accept and once I did my head began to ache, and my heart started to tense.
The voice said, "dear Sawari your adventure is just beginning"
The ominous voice started to fade and the scent of grass filled my nostrils. I took a deep long breath and sighed off of relief.
I respond with, "good grief"
Slowly falling too my knees as the wind changes direction towards my face.

"So the outfit changes with me, I'll keep that in mind."
As I stare at my stats a catalog for inventory, appearance, info, and profile is shown at the top.
I press the appearance and it's me in a standing position. Weirded out by the appearance catalog I think about
"turn off status"
I take a deep breath of the air blowing on my face and exhale.
[Another screen appears]
"Head towards the castle structure"
The screen starts to pan out. As I walk down the solid card path towards the castle structure 2 rabbits block my view from the front. Their eyes like the red moon, their fur like the white snow.
"They're rabid rabbits, and you've gotta kill them," says the ominous voice in my head
The word kill shook me to my core, I don't like killing animals but thinking about whatll happen if I don't would leave me in a tight spot.
"wheres that grimoire?!!" my thoughts spewed
A sparkle in front of me dispersed into a colorless book.
"what the hell," I said with a smirk
