Over the years many tales have been told, man legends written.
Soon a new story will begin, though few will hear it told.
You will bear witness to it as it unfolds and help determine it's end.
But first
Is our hero a boy or a girl?

Duude, Amelia is clearly someone with healthy appetites judging by her reading materials, and she needs a wide variety of open-minded lovers. This glowing person seems to be new here and to not know about laws like indecent exposure that are holdovers from religious morality. Clearly they need to wear Amelia's legs as a hat so they are not naked, preferably somewhere private if Amelia isn't ready to embrace her exhibitionist side yet.

Amelia sighs and closes her book. She chooses to go and help out the mysterious stranger.
Upon seeing her up close Amelia suddenly wishes she hadn't.
The person is a dark skinned girl, completely naked. This would probably be her most striking feature if not for the organs hanging from her body. She extends a dagger in Amelia's direction

Against all common sense Amelia takes the blade and plunges it into her stomach. She feels no pain, only a surge of energy coming straight from her stomach and spreading through her body.
She feels her clothes melt away, quickly replaced by a red robe.


"Red? And you're not even fully changed.. The Hunter would've been a lot better but I guess this is to be expected for your first time. Did it hurt?"

"W-what happened to me!?

"You pushed yourself beyond the Fourth Wall. Now that you're on that side of the Wall you can interact with the other things on that side. Like the Wolf that's about to kill us."

Amelia clutches her axe and takes a step away from it.

Amelia imagines herself as one of the legends of (fake) history. She closes her eyes and swings the Axe of Washington at the beast cutting it's head off in one slash.
The Wolf doesn't even have the chance to utter a sound before it collapses to the ground and vanishes

With the Wolf gone Amelia is able to finally relax
and flip out.
As she waves her arms around her red hood and axe vanish along with the wolf's body. There is only a piece of paper left where the wolf was.


"Shush shush shush.."

"Why is this happening!? Why was I wearing read!? How did I even lift up that axe!? What was that monster!?"

"I'm from a group of people with the ability to use Balance. Balance refers to keeping the two worlds, and by extension the Fourth Wall, separate from one another.
See... Every piece of literature written has an effect on the world beyond the Fourth Wall. Many of the creatures written in the story are created in the Lit World and the more well known a story the more powerful the creature there. Every once in a while the creature manages to break through the Fourth Wall and interact with this world, the Real World.
As one with the ability to Balance our job is to defeat and subdue anything that breaks through and send it back to their own world. Using that knife as you did we stab something we call the Spark in our bodies and make ourselves, temporarily, an imaginary being.
Now, most people who do stab themselves with the knife may have brought up like.. A normal axe or maybe some bread and jam but you were able to combine elements of the story with an innate power of your own.. You have the ability to Balance. You can Balance not only the Fourth Wall and the two worlds but also the ability a story gives you and your own stories that you've either read or written. I'm guessing you like history?


"Uhm.. Yeah..."

"Mmhmm.. Your loves for stories shines through in your ability to Balance. If you trained with me you'd probably become very powerful.. So, any questions?"

Nope.

"Well uhm.. Why are you naked?"

"Oh, right.. Remember the Spark I mentioned? It has an actual physical place on our body and it helps channel our powers. With it we get dressed to reflect the character we take the form of. The Wolf was smart enough and ripped mine out of my body and with it went my clothing. That's also why I have this giant hole in my gut."

"Shouldn't we uhm... Get that looked at?"

"The hole? Nah it's fine. See I'm not actually from this world. I'm from beyond the Fourth Wall, the Lit World. I'm Tsumi from the book Tale of Princes. Probably never heard of it.. It was written by some really lonely hermit on a mountain. I think it sold 20 copies. Anyway, anything from there is pretty hard to kill. It takes damaging or severing our heads to really kill us off and even then so long as our Page is fine we can still regenerate back on the Lit World."

"Page?"

She shows Amelia the page that the Wolf left behind.

"This right here is the character's introduction. If I were to rip this up the Wolf would be gone completely. Not only from the Lit World but from here as well. It would drastically change the entire story forever. As those who Balance our job is to simply return these to the Lit World. There is a man here who can do just that."

"So... Why is it so bad that these people come here? There are so many people from stories that would be amazing to have in this world."

"There are and there have been plenty of good people who come here from the Lit World. I'm one of them of course. Others you may not even notice but they use the good they did in their tales and continue to do so here. However there are many that would not be so good.. Wouldn't want Jack the Ripper to cross over again would you? Besides it's all about keeping Balance. Some can live here, and a few of your own can live there. Some of your best writers have ventured into the Lit World. But if too many spill over from one side to the other then the Fourth Wall will crumble and that would bring about chaos everywhere. ... Hey let me borrow your sweater. It's cold. Don't worry, my blood won't stain it or anything. Wound is closing up already."

Amelia hands her sweater to Tsumi. Tsumi takes it and puts it on. She stands up and stares at Amelia.

"Amelia. I need to ask you something very important. My Spark has been ripped out and it won't recover for some time. Would you take over as the one who keeps Balance in this city for me? Just until I recover at least. And maybe longer if you wish to continue doing the job. I understand if you refuse of course."
