It was the end of every normal day. It was late at night but I still couldn't sleep. I thought of getting a drink or a snack but it was a bit of a hassle. If I go outside, my father or mother will ask me, "Why are you still awake? You still have school tomorrow" or "You're going to wake up late again". Well I still have a chapter one to finish writing so might as well do that instead. I got the laptop and started typing away. I swear if either of them go into this room, I'm going to stay awake until my wake up time. I already have the feeling that my mother will come at any--

*opens door*

Mother: Why are you still awake, Stephen? Aren't you going to go to ATC to watch a movie for your project? Sleep already!
Stephen: I'm just going to finish this online book.
Mother: Here you go again. Alright. But, do it quickly. Goodnight.
Stephen: 'Night

She closes the door silently and I proceeded to what I was originally doing, writing chapter 1.
It's actually very unnatural for a fat cunt like me but I got inspired by some known animes and visual novels that I decided to compete with some of my friends in making stories in Wattpad. While I was so focused typing, I had forgoten the full name of a certain character. So i decided to get my phone but I forgot that It was in the mall getting repaired.

Stephen: Dammit! How am I going to finish this chapter?
Nevermind. What else to do? Wait, I might still have it here.

I checked my all files and went in to browse were it is. I found the folder of the emulator together with the games.

Stephen: Yes! Its still here. I can still continue my progress in Persona 4. Time to finish what I started.

Persona is a famous Turn-based RPG franchise which is originally part of the franchise, Shin Megami Tensei as a side story. Its famous for its in-game music, 3D art style, challenging gameplay and game mechanics. I already played P3P (Persona 3 Portable)
and still playing Persona 4. I'm having a hard time leveling up in P4 and its been a long time since i played this but I'll somehow adapt to the difficulty.

Stephen: Do I fuse this persona with this for a better offense? But Ill lose my current best support persona. There is so much too do. Agh! What's this pain in my head!

I suddenly felt a very strong pain in my head. I tried to massage my head but it didn't work so I decided to sleep it off.

Stephen: Ill do this tommor--

Before I could say anything, I crashed into my place in the bed and fainted....

???: Wake up, our dear guest

I heard a faint voice calling me. It seemed very familiar but I cant quite tell who it is.
As I opened my eyes, i wasn't in my room anymore. I was in a blue room with luxurious designs and furniture. What was more amazing was that it had a wall of bars with a clock in its center and it seems that we are rising. The room was actually a elevator.

Stephen: What is this place?
???: It seems that our guest has awoken. Welcome to the Velvet Room. There is no need for further introductions since you already know who we are.
???: Elizabeth, you have mistaken him as one of the chosen ones.

As I averted my eyes from the bars, I saw short man with a very long nose, huge eyes, a huge smile wearing a black coat sitting on a chair and beside him is a woman in what seems to be a blue flight attendant's uniform and she carries a blue, thick book. She has white, short hair, yellow eyes, fair white skin and she is very beautiful.

Elizabeth: I'm very certain that this is the one. Do you recall my name and the name of this place?
Stephen: Your name is Elizabeth, right? I have a feeling that I know this name.

I pondered and pondered of who she was. What did she say this place was? Did she say "The Velvet Room"? There is no way that room from Persona 3 is real. Is it really true? Surely this is just a dream. Wait, this is the usual questions of the main protagonist asks everytime. So this might really be real. Well fuck, I sound like retard now but anyways, I nervously rised and answered her question.

Elizabeth: So have you reached a revelation or are you still clueless?
Stephen: If this is "The" Velvet Room, then you must be one of the attendants. Your Elizabeth, the younger sister of Margaret and sister of Theodore, well that is what i know from the game.
Elizabeth: Splendid! I knew that you were the one.
???: Even though you know who we are, I will still formally introduce myself. I am Igor, I am the master of this place and also the one who will guide you through your journey. If you want to ask me questions, I'll gladly answer them for you.
Stephen: How come I am one of the "chosen ones" you speak of?
Igor: You have been chosen because you possess a unique and utterly powerful abillity, the power of the Wild Card.
Stephen: Is it the ability to weild multiple personas?
Igor: Yes, but it seems that you haven't awaken your power yet. Do not worry you will unlock your power when the time comes.
Stephen: When will that be?
Igor: Soon, when you face a threat in your journey.
Stephen: a threat?
Igor: To put it simply, the gods will come to judge the world or you humans would call it as the end of the entire world
Stephen: Why? Is it because of the vast number of corrupted people in the world or are we going to be punished for our sins?
Igor: Both but there is hope for you, humans.
Stephen: Is this hope your talking about, us, the chosen ones.
Igor: Well all of you can awaken their potential and have the will to summon their Persona, but, you, the chosen ones, have the power of the wild card. Im very sure you already know one of them.
Stephen: Who? Nevermind that question. I might have already an idea who you're talking about. Instead, how many are we?
Igor: A lot but you are part of a stronger category
Stephen: What do you mean?
Igor: To simply put......

Igor: You are a part of the 5 Great Fools
