Act 1

'Okay.... okay.....Take a deep breath and...'

'Oh god... I'm not the only one trapped here!'

'I mean....That changes absolutely everything!'

Before the excitement goes to my head, I remember something important that I seem to be forgetting. 

'hang on a minute.....It hadn't been clear to me that whoever had the system before me was clearly aggressive....'

'I mean...maybe I'm jumping to conclusions by too much!The previous user may already be dead, or worse.....'

'Or perhaps he's not dead and has lost his user privilege because of something he tried to do or attempt...huuummmm.....'

.....

....

...!!!

'Ugh! Knowing that the system adapts to the user's 'soul' or whatever left me with more questions than answers!'

'Leaving that aside for the moment, If there's a former user of the system still around, looking to smash heads as a sport, they'll probably be looking for a way to get it back....

.....

.....I would try to get it back....

.....

......by any means necessary....

.....

'yeeeeeaaaah.. Let's not think about that too much.'

After spending some time in the floor's control room, I slapped my cheeks and left to continue searching for more machines and to find out who I would be facing on this floor...

'There's not much point in holding back if there's some crazy guy out there who's very likely got an overwhelming level advantage over me.'

'Even if it means doing something I'm totally against... all for survival, I guess...'

With that thought in mind, I get up from the chair and leave the room heading towards the parking lot. 

As I cross, I take a closer look at the floor to see if I can spot any other twisted ones besides the purple square-headed one.

At that point, I stop and observe that there is a sort of room beyond the strange intersection of metal racks and boxes that are in what I can say is the 'middle' of the floor

'mmmmmmm.... I wonder if there are any objects out there that i could use...I mean, if this is a game of some kind, shouldn't there be items that help the protagonists?'

Shaking my head, I continued on my way to the parking lot with the vans, the metal racks and boxes, and... the black pipes that are probably where the machines are, now that I think about it.

Reaching the middle of the parking lot, I see I see two machines, one next to the red van behind the shelf and the other one in the corner of the parking lot, behind the aforementioned red van 

'Okay, two machines here... I wonder if the system will give me anything if I manage to complete them all.'

'Although... I think I'll start doing them at the end of my ummm 'promotion' if I complete a machine and it doesn't improve any of my stats...'

I think in a kinda depressing note, as I approach the machine on the corner.

'Why not do the one that's closest to you? Because these kinds of things are exactly what you end up forgetting because they're in the strangest and most unexpected places , my friend!'

....

.....

....

(   ª   )

Ahem, putting that aside, I finally see the-

.....

Hmmmmm, is that a treadmill instead of a valve handle?

'I mean, the valve is still there! But... it's connected to the treadmill system, so...'

The look of utter foolishness on my face for witnessing such a ridiculous system must be priceless.

'.....Man... don't tell me they were putting kids to 'play' doing these kinds of machines ...'

Ignoring the possibility that they were using free child labor with the (very apparently clever) excuse of keeping them entertained by making them extract whatever that black stuff was for purposes which I still don't know, I approach to do the 'peculiar' extraction on the machine 

'ok... I suppose my speed will be of much greater use than my dexterity. '

And with that final thought, I start jogging on the treadmill. 

'huh Pretty simple, really... the only downside is that it's going to be much slower than a 'regular' machine, so I don't think-'

My thoughts are (again) interrupted when the treadmill begins to accelerate disproportionately, almost making me fall.

'WoOOoooOW! ok!ok! I've got it! I've-Is that a timer I'm hearing?!'

The sound of the timer makes me run faster, which later makes me hear the soft clicking sound of the other machine when I correctly made the valve handle turn in the right moment. 

'uffff pufffff... Brother, that went from 0 to 100 in an instant, Well, at least it won't catch me off guard next time. '

I continued jogging until the machine accelerated again. I had to do this one more time, which was enough to show me that the faster you run on the treadmill, the faster it decelerates which obviously makes extraction much faster 

'and with that-

- D I N G -

-Another machine finished! Phew! That was much harder than I thought. Okay, machines with handle valves is skill, and treadmills speed. Noted'

I say this while observing my skills and...

Nope, nothing changed. *sigh* Well, I guess it's destiny...

Let's get this over with.

searching the garage for both my 'roommates' and more machines to have in a clear location once...I finished, I approach the 'middle' of the floor.

I superficially observe the four paths I can take (including the path I came from) and decide to go towards the one where I could see the other room similar to the 'control' room near the elevator 

As I go towards where the wire fence with the boxes trafic, cones and metal racks are, but I stop when I side glance to my right and finally manage to see...

Are those... red branches across the floor??

As I get closer, I can now see better that in the cracks in the floor (which didn't seem relevant to me) there are slightly protruding red things, like branches. 

'ummmmm... Okay... that's not normal '

Looking more closely at the crack, I can see that it seems to follow a kind of path that even cuts through the cement walls.

'This... smells like a special enemy... I mean, there's a Rare Twisted according to the system, so... I guess I found it.' 

'I wonder what it'll be like? A plant-like toon or something? '

While I'm thinking about what my enemy will look like, I approach along the path where there are two metal racks, making a sort of zigzag pattern until I turn the corner and...

I see the elevator the toons used to get to the floor where I was; at the end there's another 'room' similar (if not probably the same type of room) to the one of the closed elevator and right in the middle of this 'chamber'....

There was a twisted toon sitting with his back to me, It's wearing some kind of black clothing (a sleeveless shirt like mine?) But what caught my attention the most was that its left side was dark and its right side was white. 

'So... this is the Twins' Twisted...Their masks appear to have merged into one'

'I wonder why there's a circle of red branches... I mean, they're the same color as their scarf... ominous.'

I can't see anything else from where I'm looking, so I'm getting ready to go towards the...

*WARNING: You are entering a battle against a Rare Twisted without having eliminated the rest of the Twisteds.*

*SUGGESTION: Finish off the 2 common twisteds to improve your chances of winning without massive damage.*

ok.....

'Well, going back to where I came from, I guess....to the-'

Just at that moment, a Twisted, which appears to be based on some kind of roll cake, passes by me heading towards the broken-down elevator.

His right arm appears to have become a kind of claw, much larger than his left arm, which looks quite normal. the right side d the right side of his face

He seems to be covered in the same black substance that characterizes us so much; He seems to be wearing a white, sleeveless hoodie with black drawstrings and a white hemming on the bottom and he has striped socks of a saturated color lime (i think), pink and cyan color

'Heh, a little fruity, no? I'm not judging or anything remotely like that, it's just something curious. '

'the Parents of this world seem to like these kinds of characters so their children can watch them without dilemmas if Shrimpo The Shrimp! is something to go by, unlike at home...'

' and.......I have to smash the head of that cute pastry turned zombie....brilliant....'

'I'd better do it quickly so it doesn't suffer more than necessary.'

'The system may have turned me into some kind of monster physically , but I AM NOT one... neither mentally nor morally '

As I get closer, I prepare my charged fist (it's not that difficult, just think about the skill, imagine pressing a button and that's it, pretty self-taught) 

....sigh......

'I HATE THIS....'

When I'm at the peak of my charged fist, a message appears in front of me.

*Warning: You are entering combat with 'Twisted Cosmo N° ##'*

health:80

Attack:10

speed:18

'This twisted Is a common twisted it does not have any passive nor active abilities

As i threw the punch, Twisted Cosmo immediately turned around in surprise, only to receive a punch to the face that sent him flying a short distance. 

'Okay, more than a quarter of his life away'

I think that, while i prepare for my next move.

The Twisted, who to be honest barely reaches 4 feet tall (unlike my almost 6 feet) gets back up shakily after receiving a blow that probably rearranged his thoughts.

After recovering, it desperately tries to reach me with its abnormally large claw, I dodge the sweep by taking a few steps back.

After getting to his feet, The Twisted refused to make any further moves other than the sweep from before, maintaining his distance and not attempting anything else.

'mmmm ok unlike Twisted Poppy, who would have already pounced on me to try and crush me...'

While the Twisted watches me, my ability fully recharges and I prepare to launch myself again at full power.

'Okay... if I land this hit, I can use my 70% boost and kill him in one more hit instead of two.'

As my attack finishes charging, Twisted Cosmo tenses, probably sensing the attack coming back, and slowly begins to walk away toward the parking lot without turning its back on me. 

'oh no you don't!'

I launched myself towards the Twisted with my attack at almost full strength suddenly.

The Twisted, for his part, manages to counterattack this time by hitting me with his claw on my left side; luckily, my fist ends up hitting him in the face again at the same time.

We both flew away from each other, although I managed to get to my feet shortly after, while he remained on the parking lot floor. 

'haaaaaa.....That hurt, and from what I can see, my blow ended up throwing his thoughts off balance.'

Seeing that my opponent isn't getting up, I take a moment to take in my surroundings and see if the other Twisted is nearby.

'It would be a real pain in the ass if I had to face two at once, if the mask isn't enough on its own.'

Seeing that there's no one around and that my opponent still hasn't gotten up, I decide to end this once and for all. 

'On second thought, it would be better to finish this without using my boost until I have to fight the rare Twisted.'

'With my luck, it has an ability that instantly kills you or something stupid like that'

Putting those thoughts aside, I approach Twisted Cosmo and see that he is indeed kinda like out of commission. 

...which makes this a thousand times worse for me...

.

.

.

.

Shaking my head, I regain my resolve and...

I begin to stomp his head with all my weight behind each stomp 

After the first stomp, his hand and claw instinctively tried to reach for his face to cover it, but the second stomp made them fall back to the ground, and the third...

...............the third one was insurance..

After turning his head, another stain on the floor, a message I was already expecting appears in my vision.

*🎊CONGRATULATIONS, you have managed to defeat <Twisted Cosmo> Make sure to consume it to get unique benefits 🎊*

Yes... I did it...yaaaaaaay.....

Not wanting the guilt to come to me quickly, I press <YES> and proceed to consume it

'SURVIVOR OF THE THOUSAND YARDS 'In case of injury, the ability allows you to ignore it (up to a point) and increase your reaction speed until the user feels safe or reaches a safe zone '

Okay, mmmmmm, my mental fortitude suddenly skyrocketed, as did my speed. 

'That's not even mentioning the change in my user skills, what the heck is with the thousand-yard survivor?! I never went to war or killed anyone (that I can remember), so...'

'The effects I got from that are damn good tho'

.

.

.

'I suppose that's good in a way.'

I think as I look at the pool of black substance and I shudder 

'Alright, if I were a purple box with hand like claws on my head, where would I be?....'

With that in mind, I set out to find it in where is it 

'Luckily, my life regenerates every time I absorb/consume a Twisted.'

I think that as I walk back to the elevator, the one I got here (the one that works with faith, magic, and fairy dust apparently) and I head to the right 

Just as I was about to turn the corner and enter a sort of corridor with a metal rack In the middle of it all, something hits me in the face and knocks me to the ground.

'aackk! What the hell just-'

Just before I could finish that thought, I had to roll to the side to dodge a punch that ends up hitting the floor (cracking it slightly) from none other than the purple boxhead that I was looking for.

'....haaaaaaaaaa.....heh So... you saw what I did to your friend, huh?'

I smile slightly as I wipe my lip of what is probably the same black liquid running from it.

The Twisted, for his part, looks frustrated and... (nervous?)

'probably because he couldn't finish me off quickly', whatever this bastard ambushed me.

That means he was smart enough to try and take me out in one fell swoop.

I'd give him a cookie for the tactic But I don't have any with me.

so....

.

.

I'll give it a knuckle sandwich for being a sneaky bastard.

I lunged at the Boxten, who was stunned by my explosive speed, which gave me an opening to knock his teeth out with a right hook

I give him no chance to recover and continue my assault with a quick left hook which leaves him against the wall

'perfect'

The Twisted tries to stop my attack and get out of the situation using the claws on its head, which end up injuring my left eye....

But I ignored him and threw a powerful right punch with all my weight behind ir

the impact causes the wall behind it He cracks a little, which leaves him with a lost look, but I don't give him time to recover. 

I continue my assault without stopping because if I give him an opportunity he will take it and kill me without hesitation (I would do it)

.

.

.

.

At some point my ability would have run out, and after stopping my onslaught the body of the twisted boxten simply slides to the floor 

His face was barely recognizable due to the amount of black substance on it. 

His perfectly square head was slightly dented, which was a little creepy because, well... he's a living being in a way, so...

'this.... this is going to be the norm...isnt?'

*🎊CONGRATULATIONS, you have managed to defeat <Twisted Boxten> Make sure to consume it to get unique benefits 🎊*

'SURVIVOR OF THE THOUSAND YARDS 'In case of injury, the ability allows you to ignore it and increase your reaction speed until the user feels safe or reaches a safe zone '

I realize instantly that defeating the Twisted Boxten and absorbing it greatly increased my stats. 

'mmmm I'm starting to think the system sent me here specifically because of this kind of explosive increase. '

'by the way....6'5 feet? Dude, aren't those like More than 1.90 meters tall?...man...I'm a giant!'

'I must look much more intimidating than before.'

'I need a mirror soon'

'I mean, apart from the feeling at the beginning of this... "adventure" I no longer feel the stretch I got with Twisted Poppy after absorbing it'

'heh At least I'm much bigger than when I was human'

.

.

.

putting aside the depressive thoughts of a life that I will most likely never get back I prepare to continue my journey to the rare Twisted through the corridor

'Why would they stack sofas? They didn't have a cellar or anything like that to store this and......brother those armchairs look really comfortable, to be honest.'

.

.

'I think I'll rest a bit in the armchair.'

'Yeah. That way my ability recharges and I launch myself into a barrage of blows.'

I sit down in the white armchair and although the cushions were a bit hard, it was much better than a cement surface. 

After resting for about 10 minutes (I don't have a watch to know for sure)  I get up and follow the corridor until I reach the metal fence and the vending machines. 

I enter through the 'chamber' that connects to the corridor and the center of the floor 

Here I see a speaker, behind a metal rack and Crates practically in the middle of the room, to my left I see the small room that I had seen before.

I decide to continue straight ahead towards the Twisted, which I was finally able to see in profile 

I still can't see her face since they're in profile, but I see that her scarf (neck?) is tied to a rather large and most likely heavy brick. 

Its hands are covered in the same black substance that I've seen in each and every one of the Twisteds (including me) I've faced so far.

'.............This thing is going to have two phases, right?'

'I mean... Come on! This screams boss battle, no matter what. '

'sigh*Okay, let's finish this quickly.'

I stop a few centimeters before entering the circle of branches that this creature has and prepare to charge my fist to its maximum power 

'Very well... let's finish quickly '

If there is a god in this world, I hope I can be forgiven for what I am about to do; at least I can do it clean, quickly and painlessly. 

.

.

!!

Finally, I launched myself towards the Twisted, taking a small jump forward and then dashing at a speed that I doubt they can see me.

The moment my head touches the living comedy mask in front of me....

They turn around at a speed that's almost the same as my dash speed, which scares the shit out of me.

The white part of the mask has a sinister smile with hints of smugness, as if it had won before the fight even began, while the black part looks...regretful? And also... in peace?as if he were certain that the blow would take away his suffering...

in those 2 seconds (which felt like hours) I could see how both parts (white and black) tried to separate, but my fist got there first and both exploded in a bomb of the black substance it.

'What was---'

That was the last thing I could think before hundreds of black branches ripped through the concrete floor and pierced every part of my body. 

'!?!!!!???!!!'

Finally, the message that cleared everything appeared before me. 

*Warning: You are entering combat with 'Twisted Razzle and Dazzle N° ##'*

health:50

Attack:1 per branch

Attack per second:2

'This twisted Is a rare twisted It has the active ability of:

'piercer of madness and misery' once awake It can create 10 branches in the circle that pierce the legs of its victims, disappearing once they pierce the target

and the passive of:

'The curtain falls'  Upon its death, it attacks all targets within the circle regardless of obstacles or line of sight with 50 or more branches '

Just as the system indicated, the branches disappeared and I fell to the ground face down on the concrete like a sack of potatoes. 

I started coughing and vomiting blood (the black substance) using my trembling hands to try not to drown in my own pool of blood 

'euggghhh *cough-cough* euuuuuu......

guuuuuuuu...... *cough*.........

gaaaaa!aAck! *panting'*.........'

After my body stabilized enough to know that I was NOT going to drown in my own blood, I turned onto my back, trying to further stabilize my breathing and heart rate. 

.......

......

....

*inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale*

'fuuuuuuuu....Okay, that was... very intensely dangerous.'

'hey.... If those idiots did 50 damage when I blew their heads off and I barely had 42 health left with my boost... how am I not dead?'

*NOTICE: Thanks to the 2-star stat of the constitution of the user, when you reach half health the damage is reduced.*

'Well... miracles of the video game system, I suppose.'

After a while I decide to look at my life and...

VIT: 1,5/42,5 *Please find a hiding place immediately*

'HOLY MOLY!!'

That finally explained the horrifying sensation of pain to me which I'm sure would be worse if I didn't have the system

'Another reason to be wary of the previous user....

I wonder if there was more than one user and if they're still around...surviving without the level system....

*🎊CONGRATULATIONS, you have managed to defeat <Twisted Razzle and Dazzle> Make sure to consume it to get amazing and unique benefits 🎊*

Let's leave that aside. I have a rare twisted that I consume for my 'promotion' '

Getting up with what little energy I have left, I approach the headless body of the twisted With trembling steps, I press <YES> without thinking twice.

After the black flames finally consumed him, another message appeared. 

*CONGRATULATIONS You have managed to defeat a rare twisted in less than {4 hours}, breaking the previous user's record of {2 months} Thanks to that and the user's unique status as a 'visitor', you have been given an evolutionary step. *

*Choose from:

'bigger body'

It causes your body to permanently increase in size by 1.15 and gives a massive increase in attack strength and overall stamina The ichor in your body becomes more prominent allowing you to extend it like an extension of your body; the more Twisteds you consume, the better.. 

or

'Friendly neighbor'

This evolutionary path allows you to alternate between your smallest and ichorless size {4'1 feet} and your largest {To be seen} allowing you to be much more approachable and giving you access to the 'Social Marketplace' which will give you more of an advantage when interacting with the 'fallen stars'*

'Hmm, it's not so easy to decide what I look like. I mean, the obvious answer would be to transform into some kind of final boss from Dark Souls but......

Wouldn't it be better to have support from the Toons? I mean They've been doing this for who knows how long, and then there's the market..

I didn't watch all those anime or manga of the isekai or reincarnation type from those dubious confidentiality websites so I know that something like that is very likely to connect me with things in my world....

But becoming some kind of Hulk of-ichor? That was there too....'

Now that term was new... is that what's called the black substance in the machines and what Twisteds and Toons are made of?

'decisions, decisions....mmmmmm'

I look at the pool of... Ichor? where the bodies of the twisted twins was, and with that I made my decision. 

Pressing the path I wanted, the option disappears in a black flame, which scares me a little.

.

.

.

nothing happens but then-

My whole body is bursting in black flames and smoke 

'aarrghhhhh!!!!!!-gAaaaAh!?'

Without understanding anything, I start rolling around on the floor to try to put out the flames. 

'aAaAAaaaA!-Why?!? What did I do to deserv-?AaAcK!!!!'

Then my body began to break and contort as it readjusted, probably to what I had chosen.

After 3 more seconds of the sensation of absolute burning and my bones breaking and readjusting, I lost consciousness, probably for the best......

==============================

After what was probably the worst feeling I've ever experienced, along with being impaled by more than 50 black branches, I finally regained feeling in my body.

'........guhhhhhhh.... brother what the hell.......'

Finally, I sit down and have the same feeling of stiffness in my body, from having slept on concrete/a very hard floor

'How long... how long was I on the floor?.....'

It's as if, to answer my question, the system alerts me of the changes. 

*NOTICE: There has been an astronomical change in the 'Social Menu'

SUGGESTION: Review the change as soon as possible.*

'.....hmmmmm ok?.....'

I'm about to check the social menu, which I haven't looked at since I unlocked it, and...

'.......'

'...?..'

*blink, blink*

'......'

Yatta:She's unsure about any of this because of the kind of toon you've taken shape as, and she's part of the minority who believe they should find a way to lock you up. 

Cosmo:Trust that Sprout and the rest of the mains could succeed in trying to create a dialogue between you and the rest of the toons 'if possible of course'

Brusha: She's not very interested, and frankly, she thinks Dandy and Dyle should take care of you to avoid future problems.

Rudie:He trusts that Bobette and the rest of the mains could perform a 'Christmas miracle' (?????) and have you as an ally to finally have a Christmas without Twisteds.(recovering something of the Christmas floors might be best)

Eggson:He's not entirely sure, but he believes this could be an opportunity to recover Gardenview, specifically the Easter floors.(Recovering some of the Easter floors might help)

Ribecca:She doesn't think the plan will work and still believes that taking care of you might be best in the long run for everyone's safety.(Recovering something of Gourdy from the Halloween floors is recommended)

 'Remember, you depend on good interactions with the original Toons to get unique upgrades for you, them, and points for the social market, keep it simple :P'
