Ding...!
A sound like a message notification sounded.
In front of Raiya appeared a small little fairy, "Hello there, dear Dungeon Master. I'm your support fairy, and my job is to help you with small tasks. Oh, and Master, there is a letter that has been sent to you. Please check it quickly as there is something valuable and very helpful for you," she said while flying gracefully towards my shoulder and sitting there.
Seeing her look at me, waiting for me to open the letter, I reached out and unfolded the message.

Turning my head back to my little helper, I said, "Can you show me my inventory?" The small fairy waved her arm, and a projection in front of me revealed a 12x12 grid. On the top left of the grid, I noticed World Store coin (25), World Store Tickets (2), Encyclopedia Ticket, Dungeon Master Guide, Limited Version of The Heroes Guide, and a mysterious item labeled "Compass ????."

_________________________________________________
After examining the items in the inventory, I decided to take out the Encyclopedia Ticket, Limited Version of The Heroes Guide, and Dungeon Master Guide.
Ding !!
are you sure you want to use Encyclopedia Ticket to redeem Encyclopedia of Races?
Y/N
Without hesitation, I pressed "Yes" on the screen, and the ticket transformed into a thick grimoire-like book.
After considering my next move, I decided to read the book after I got out of this place. Moving on from the book, I turned to the fairy and asked, "How can I get out of this space?" She started to wave her hand, and a magic circle emerged under my feet.
Suddenly, the world around me warped and distorted, and the environment changed from a white room to a hall with walls lit by torches, with an altar in the middle containing a floating sphere.
"Master, I suggest you use the Limited Version of The Heroes Guide and Dungeon Master Guide. They are tomes that can impart knowledge without the need to read them," suggested the little assistant fairy.
Heeding her advice I started to use Limited Version of The Heroes Guide and Dungeon Master Guide
Ding!
are you sure you want to absorb Limited Version of The Heroes Guide and Dungeon Master Guide?
Y/N
pressing yes, there is a sudden surge of information went into my head.
after silently processing the information, I now know why she suggested me to use the tome.
having gain crucial information i decided to ask some of my question to her, while also decided to asking her name.
looking at my shoulder I said "hmm...do you have a name?" she smiled and Replied "Most Dungeon Masters won't care about such things, but I would be more than happy if you gave me a name."
"In that case, what about Auriel? So please take care of me from here on, Auriel. You can stop calling me 'Master,' and you can call me by my name."
"ok then please take care of me too Raiya" showing a very sweet smile.
"Then, my first question: Can you explain to me where we are?" I continued our conversation.
She replied, "We are in an altar of races. This is the last place for Dungeon Masters to regroup because, in this place, time is slowed down with a ratio of 1:24. As you have used the tomes, you must know that the race of Dungeon Masters is far more important than it sounds. So, I suggest we visit the world store to buy a certain item that can only be bought at the beginning."
