2 The Beginning

On the 13th day of the Cow Month, in the year 1246, within the mystical embrace of the Ablux continent's great magical forest of Everdeen, the night unfolded with a celestial spectacle. The stars, like scattered jewels strewn across the velvety expanse of the sky, cast their shimmering light upon the earth below. A gentle zephyr whispered through the ancient boughs of the forest, carrying with it the fragrance of wildflowers and the promise of tranquility.

Yet, amidst this serene tableau, chaos unfurled its dark cloak. A carriage, hurtling through the forest with reckless abandon, shattered the stillness of the night. Its frenzied pace bespoke urgency, as if pursued by unseen shadows. Abruptly, with a resounding thud, an object tumbled from the carriage's tumultuous interior, a casualty of its frantic flight. The carriage, heedless of the disruption, continued its mad dash into the obscurity of the forest, leaving behind a trail of dust and uncertainty.

As the echoes of its passage faded into the night, the fallen figure stirred. Sprawled upon the forest floor, dazed and disoriented, the figure gradually roused from its unconscious state. Blinking owlishly against the darkness, the figure struggled to reconcile its surroundings with the fragmented memories that flickered within its mind like dying embers.

"Where am I?" the figure murmured, words borne of confusion and bewilderment.

In that moment, fragmented recollections coalesced into a semblance of clarity. The figure, none other than the illustrious magician known as Oz, had embarked upon a journey to unveil his most audacious feat yet - the fusion of ancient mysticism with modern ingenuity. With his mastery of arcane knowledge and technological prowess, Oz had forged a marvel of innovation: the teleportation wristband.

Driven by a relentless thirst for discovery, Oz had plumbed the depths of legend and lore, weaving together the threads of ancient magic and contemporary science to birth his crowning achievement. His intent was clear - to transcend the boundaries of illusion and unveil the true essence of magic to a world steeped in wonder and disbelief.

Yet, fate, capricious and inscrutable, had conspired against him. In the midst of his grand performance, the very instrument of his triumph had betrayed him, unleashing a torrent of agonizing currents that rent the fabric of reality itself. And now, here he lay, a pawn in a game whose rules eluded even his formidable intellect.

With a steadying breath, Oz rose to his feet, his gaze piercing the veils of uncertainty that shrouded his surroundings. Though his path remained obscured, one truth burned brightly within his soul - the journey had only just begun. For Oz, the legendary magician, stood poised upon the threshold of destiny, ready to defy the whims of fate and reclaim his rightful place among the stars.

(Don't tell me, this is not earth? calm, calm down, let's think this through, let's try summoning this so-called magic card first.)

Oz imagines a deck of card to appear at his hand and suddenly, *poof* a deck of gold card with a magic-like feeling appeared on his hand.

(Holy crap! It seems that I seriously got teleported to another world!)

The magic card that appeared at Oz's hand does look magical and mystical, the magic card had a rich golden color and a complicated magic rune-like drawings imprinted on every back of the card.

Different from the usual card decks, the magic card had only 57 cards that consist of As to King, and Joker but there is 1 card that had a blue gold color design.

When Oz about to flip the card to see what it is, a screen suddenly popped out from the card right when Oz flipped it.
