-[L'arôme du Mystére]-
'Should I use it or not?' Arsène thought, looking at the System screen that gave him 10 Gacha Tickets.
[Gacha Ticket]
[An item used to obtain a random item drop across the Teyvat or multiverse. The item drop is random as it range from Common item to Ultra Rare item]
It now is a night time as he has closed the Cafè. Yet, he still can't help but stared and looking at the Gacha Ticket. He still feel traumatized remembering his previous world experience of Gacha. He really has one heck of bad luck back there, like really bad.
This leaved Arsène to pondering weither to used it or not as he still don't want to go throught the suffering and heart broken of Gacha Hell again.
But there is saying "When life gives you lemon, make lemonade". So!
"Here goes nothing." He said, hoping and praying that he will get a good one. If he not, he gonna go desperated for all day long.
"Use the Gacha Tickets" He said.
[Use Gacha Ticket?]
[YES/NO]
Arsène a bit hesitate but in the end pressed the "Yes" button. Shortly after doing this, the screen glow that cause him cover his eyes.
After a few second, the System give a notification. He kinda hesitate to open his eyes only to meet with a disappointment. But he need to face it as he opened his eyes and look at the System screen.

He blinked, once, twice and thrice trying to make sure he not see a thing.
"What in the name of Celestia is this!?" He said, dumbfounded at this. This is down right illegal. It not he complained about it, it just too lucky for him to get such a good thing from Gacha.
"Is it because my A Rank Luck?" He muttered, believe that his Luck maybe play the role here. Yet, he can't help but don't trust the Gacha despite his lucky get.

After take a look, Arsène feel confused as the Television and the Coffee Bean Packs are not there in the Inventory.
[The Television has been acquired in the Café]
[High Grade Coffee Bean Packs has been stored in the Café]
"Oh" He said with blank face. Look like he don't need to worry.
But right now, there is more important thing need to do. He then take the three Potion in his inventory and look at it.
"So, I just need to digest this Potion right?" He asked himself. He looked at the Potion that been put in a glass bottle. He staring at it and decided.
He opened the Seer Potion and drink it, follow by Apprentice Potion and lastly the Marauder Potion. Once he done drink all three Potions, something happen.
"Kuh!" He suddenly feel a great headache as he clutched his head, try to endure the pain. But it turn in vain as the headache continue.
'It's hurt! What happen to me?!' He thought, trying to endure as much as he could. His vision become blur as he grip the table as a support. He feel that his brain has been overloaded with many information that to much for him.
After a few minutes of enduring the agony, the pain slowly disappeared yet it left a lingering feeling.
[Congratulations! You has successfull became a Beyonder!]

"Beyonder?" He asked, finished drinking water to calm him down after all of the pain before.
[Beyonder]
[Beyonders are sentient beings who have consumed Beyonder Characteristics, allowing them to advance to higher Sequences in a Pathway. The most common method of advancement are through consuming potions made of Beyonder Characteristics and other supplementary materials]
"I see." He said, nodding his head. After fully recover from his agony that quite fast that may possibly due to him be a Beyonder. He decided to take and look at the final item he get, the Fool Arcana
He then took out the Fool Arcana from Inventory. Soon, a card that potrayed a jester laughing very close to a cliff, accompanied with a dog at his heels appeared and floated in his hand.
"Huh, this look normal." He said, inspecting the card. Yet, he has told himself to never judge something from it outside appearance.
[Would you like to use the Fool Arcana?]
[YES/NO]
He hesitatedly pressed the 'YES' button. Shortly after doing it, the card shatter like a glass that kinda surprised him as he suddenly feel sleepy. As he about to closed his eyes and let the darkness slowly consume, he heared a voice.
"The world is not as it should be. It's filled with Distortion, and "Ruin" can no longer be avoided."
"Those who oppose Fate and Desire change... From time to time, they were referred to as Trickster."
"You are the Trickster... Now is the time to rise against the Abyss of Distortion." The voice said as Arsène fall asleep and consume by the darkness.
[Minutes Later]
Arsène opened his eyes and noticed he is no longer in his Cafè, instead he find himself in a completed new place.
"Ah, it seems we have a new guest with an interesting Fate waiting him." A voice said as Arsène look at where the source came from only to meet a bizzare looking old man.
He has a long nose, pointed ears and bulging, bloodshot eyes. He also wears a black suit, white gloves, white or black socks and black shoes. He appears to be quite tall when fully stood up and is almost skeletally thin.
"Welcome to the Velvet Room. The name is Igor... I am delighted to make your acquaintance." The man now known as Igor spoke mysteriously.
