Jason had just graduated high school, he had no aspirations to go to college, he lives alone due to his parents vanishing one day when he was 16, he had not an inkling as to where they went and was forced to fend for himself, causing him to become somewhat emotionally distant.
One day on his way home he encountered something he would never believe existed, it's was a 6 foot 5 man, except this tall muscular man possessed the head of a bull, hooves instead of feet and carried an axe about half the size of his body, Jason had no idea as to how it got there but he knew what it was, he had seen this beast before in Fairy Tales, it was known as a Minotaur.
Jason screamed "What the fuck!"
As he turned around and ran as fast a second he could, but it was no use, the monster was too fast, he slashed at Jason tearing his axe one inch deep from Jason's right shoulder to the bottom of his waist.
Jason: " AGH!"
Jason laid of his chest bleeding out, and screaming, the only thing on his mind was how he had been unable to find his parents again.
As Jason's eyes Closed excepting his fate he saw letters in front of him. He blinked in surprise.
[Fairy Tale System Active]
[Select starting Fairy Tale]

Jason selected the first one out of desperation, expecting to be teleported and taken to wonderland, which was better than his current situation.
Jason was then greated with another notification.
[Character set and skills for Mad Hatter provided by system]
at this point in time the world around Jason froze and he was given another notification.

[ The system welcomes its host to the fairy tale system, before the host continues it's mandated the host read the instructions.]
Jason kept staring at the words and was greater with another set of letters.

jason viewed this and was speechless, this system provided him with power, and even the possibility of becoming a god as the system could encompass Mythology.
[time I'll now return to normal in 5 seconds]
jason panicked and quickly spoke
Jason: " Activate: Mad Hatter"
as soon as he said these words he felt his heart go cold, his wound was instantly stitched, his skin took the appearance of a cold pale color, almost blue, he had bags under his eyes and his Black hair nearly lost all color, turning into a silver, in his hand was huge Pin Needle, on his head a top hat with a red scarf wrapped at the base and a silver feather on the right side.
Jason's hair length now reached below his shoulder, he had a crimson overcoat with a lavish and disproportionate black bow with yellow polka dots a black vest with pants that were four inches above his ankle.
he wore a green sock on his right foot and a red one on his left, and has dress shoes on.
at the same time this transformation took place the letters appeared in front of his once again.
[Mad as a Hatter: (Passive) increases attack speed and attack when exposed to blood and physical pain]
Jason felt drowsy, yet he felt a sense of power he had never felt before in his life.
he charged at the Minotaur, laughing Maniacally, Jason knew he had to kill the beast as soon as possible as he was about to lose consciousness due to the blood loss.
Jason thrust his needle into the Minotaur's head. The needle went through the minotaur's head.
The Minotaur burst into blue light that was absorbed into his body. The last thing Jason saw before his Mad Hatter costume disappeared and he lost consciousness was words.
[Congratulations, host has completed their first mission " last Minotaur left standing" Due to multiple individual's negligence a Minotaur ( Rank B monster) managed to find its way out of a dungeon, the host defeated the beast and will be awarded with 2000 points and 100 XP.]
Although Jason was now Unconscious he had a small smile on his face, he now possessed power, the power he lacked all these years and this made him happy.
