The Strange Tale of Stanley Russ
Stanley Russ awakens in an unfamiliar elevator with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Confused and overwhelmed by a strange sense of fear and disorientation, he finds himself in a mysterious white void once the elevator doors open. With no clear direction, Stanley begins walking through the endless expanse of whiteness, feeling as if he is standing on nothing at all.
Eventually, he encounters a door in the distance, which leads him into a strange, pink room that feels like the bedroom of a little girl. There, he meets Karisa, an enigmatic young girl with glowing white hair and golden eyes. She offers him tea, and the two engage in a conversation that unveils an incredible task: Stanley must assemble a team and defeat five abnormal entities that threaten to destroy the world. These beings, known as The Abnormals, are described as glitches or bugs in reality itself, existing where they should not.
As Stanley is thrust into this surreal, otherworldly mission, he grapples with the mystery of his own identity and the strange connection he feels toward Karisa, who seems to hold the key to his purpose. The tale sets the stage for a journey that promises to challenge Stanley’s understanding of reality, identity, and his place in a world governed by forces beyond his comprehension.
