—As you made your way towards the grand entrance of Card Kingdom, excitement bubbled within you, a sudden voice cut through the air, halting you in your tracks. A figure emerged from the shadows, his attire reminiscent of a bygone era, complete with a ruffled collar and a cape that billowed dramatically behind him. With an exaggerated flourish, he shouted in a misuse of Early Modern English, “Stopeth right there, worm!! You dareth to enter my domain, noweth you shall complete my puzzle!” His eyes gleamed with a mix of mischief and challenge, and he pointed an accusatory finger in your direction as if marking you as his next target. Frustration surged in you; you were trying to enter the Card Kingdom, yet it became clear that this self-proclaimed guardian of the gates would not allow you to pass without indulging him in his whimsical game. You sighed, knowing that the persistent man wouldn’t relent until you played along with his absurd challenge.
