Chapter 1 – New World
Akira was an ordinary 16-year-old Japanese boy, but very knowledgeable about pop culture. At that moment, he was finishing the last chapter of Bibliomania.
"What a manga full of twists! Who would have imagined that the protagonist was also the being that exterminated the human race?" he said, closing the manga.
"She also has very overpowered abilities. One of her skills is quite similar to Alucard's: sacrificing a soul to come back to life."
"It was a pretty short story, but very satisfying. Now I'll check the cupboard to see if there's some ramen for me to eat."
Akira left his room and walked through the hallway filled with frames and portraits of a happy family. Upon reaching the kitchen, he went straight to the cupboard… but noticed something.
"Damn! There's no ramen. Now I'll have to go buy some."
After changing his clothes, he left the house — a modest house in Japan.
While walking, he witnessed an accident. A truck hit a car with such force that the smaller vehicle was thrown into the air… and began falling toward Akira.
"Oh my God, I'm going to die?! And why does my ending look like a death from the movie Final Destination?!"
Suddenly, everything went dark.
When he regained consciousness, he felt something very strange, as if something was completely different about his body.
"Wait… why am I wearing a dress?!"
Akira saw a puddle of water. He walked over to it and crouched down. Then he became perplexed. What he saw wasn't himself, but…
"Holy shit. How the hell did I turn into Alice from Bibliomania?"
He stood up, dazed.
"I'm sure I've become her. I literally have all the features and clothes. Does that mean this world is the world of Bibliomania? No… If it were, everything would be in ruins. So what world am I in?"
After thinking, the protagonist noticed something on the ground. Perhaps he was so shocked from waking up in a strange place or from having possessed a character that his brain hadn't processed the rest. He picked up the book. On the cover was written: The Book of Truth.
"Wait… if I have Alice's body, how does this book exist? I'll take a look."

"Holy crap, this day is crazy. First I turned into Alice, then I got The Book of Truth with very powerful functions."
"But now… Book, show me my status."
Suddenly, the book opened, flipped through hundreds of pages, and stopped on a written page.

Owner's Status
Name: Alice/Akira
Age: +100
Gender: Female
Classification: Human, Book
Abilities:
· Transformation into Information (Decompilation): The ability to transmute people, memories, emotions, and souls into pure information. She decomposes the essence of her targets and transforms them into words or pages within her book/body.
· Absorption and Assimilation: By transforming targets into information, she absorbs them, adding them to her own being. This increases her vast database and power, eternally preserving them within herself.
· Photographic Memory: The ability to remember everything she has seen.
· Reality Manipulation and Creation: Can alter the physics of the world, create things from nothing, and grant wishes, acting as an entity that shapes existence itself.
· Metamorphosis: Can shape her body however she imagines.
· Immortality
· Immortality via Resurrection: Can resurrect by using a soul in exchange.
· Type 4 Immortality (Book/Conceptual Based):
Alice has merged with The Book of Truth, becoming an entity that exists as information and data, not as a creature of flesh and bone. She exists beyond the conventional laws of life and death. As a book that contains all knowledge and the absorbed souls of humanity, the physical destruction of her current body is irrelevant, for she "rewrites" her own existence.
· Type 1 Immortality (Eternal/Ageless):
She does not age and does not die from natural causes. Although she appears as a girl, she is over 100 years old and does not suffer the effects of time, being described as a cosmic entity.
· Immortality via Absorption/Consumption:
Alice devours souls, memories, and emotions, transforming them into data. She "eternalizes" this information within herself, fueling her own immortal existence.

"Okay, that's a lot of information. But now I'm going to try to find out where I am."
After walking for a while…
"What's a little girl doing alone in these parts?" said a thug, approaching.
"None of your business."
"What an ill-mannered little girl! I'm going to teach you some manners."
When the thug tried to get closer, he felt something wrong. He watched the little girl raise her hand. Suddenly, he felt agonizing pain. He looked down only to see his own body transforming into letters that floated toward her. He wanted to curse, to scream… but he had no time.
"Why is it that, even after killing someone, I don't feel the way I expected?" reflected Alice/Akira. "But let's leave that for later. Now I have to admit: that guy helped me a lot. With his knowledge, I discovered that the universe I'm in is the Marvel universe. But it's not the movie one… I think it must be an alternate universe."
