***SPOILERS, TURN BACK AND PLAY THE GAME WHILE YOU STILL CAN***
“In the beginning… The world did not know cards. That is… until the day The Scrybes arrived. Each had their own method of… Inscription to create cards. Grimora used her quill to inscrybe the epitaphs of the dead… Leshy used his wildlife camera to capture beasts… P03 used a particle scanner to copy the CPU’S of robots… And Magnificus used his brush to paint his wizard pupils… With the cards created, The Scrybes had solidifed their power. Until, one day, a Challenger arrived to replace one of The Scrybes!”
You fall into a new world, a pixelated world, you get to decide which of The Scrybes paths you want to follow, you leave the area you fell into and head towards a familiar place, Leshy’s cabin. You notice a few familiar faces, the Bosses you once faced are individuals now, you head inside Leshy’s cabin, he offers you a camera and tells you to fight all of his subordinates first and then to challenge him. You head back out to find them, they all request a photo, you take the photos of what they desire and fight them. You win the battle and you head back to Leshy to challenge him. You win, Leshy’s pillar lights up and you leave his cabin, heading to Grimora’s crypt. You meet Grimora, she asks you to figure out which tombs mark the resting place for her Ghouls, you fight them to get answers and sort out the graves, then you fight Grimora. You win, Grimora’s pillar lights up, “BATTERY LOW” a message comes up on your screen, and suddenly the game shuts off again.
You leave Grimora’s crypt and head into P03’s Factory, he asks you to check on his workers because they keep messing up his robots. You battle them and they all end up throwing themselves onto the conveyor belts to be made into robots themselves for P03, you return and battle him, you win and P03’s pillar lights up. There is only one Scrybe left to face… You head to Magnificus’ Tower, you pass 3 trials involving his students to reach him. You face against Magnificus, and win, he begins to talk to you but suddenly the screen glitches and he’s gone. You explore his tower and you find a note, “Dearest Grimora, I believe P03’s plot may go far past the extent of a simple power grab. Indeed, this “Great Transcendence” will have catastrophic and unpredictable results.” The note is incomplete and ends abruptly. “I urge you to consider-“. You leave Magnificus’ Tower and head back to the beginning, you now have to choose a Scrybe to face off against to take their place. You choose p03, he appears, “You actually picked me? Great. Now I can skip past the part where they whine at me. Let’s get this over with, I’ve got some big plays to make.” he says. The battle begins, he warns you saying this will be different to all your other battles, it starts normally, but eventually P03 plays a card that appears glitched and corrupted, you press the bell to finish your turn and suddenly your screen starts to shake and glitch, you get spammed with corruption errors, you can see P03’s model spinning on your screen and then everything goes white. The screen focuses on 3 blue dots and it slowly begins to zoom out, then you realise, P03 is sitting across from you now.
