Felix stared at the holographic screen before him, completely bewildered. "What the hell is this?" he muttered to himself, trying to make sense of the strange interface that had appeared out of thin air.

A smaller screen on his right popped up, displaying a countdown. "The scenario will start in 00:01:10."

Then another screen appeared on his left, revealing detailed information about him.

"I'm the protagonist?" Felix murmured, feeling a mix of excitement and uncertainty. "I feel honored, but why me? And what's with the Alice thing?"

The white rabbit, anxiously hopping nearby, interrupted his thoughts. "I'm going to be late! Please help me!"

"Right, I have a task to do," Felix realized, refocusing his attention on the countdown timer. "One hour to keep the rabbit from being late, that shouldn't be too difficult."

But he knew he couldn't take it lightly. There must be more to this scenario than it seemed. He had to be cautious.

With only 42 seconds left, Felix made a quick decision and dashed out of the mysterious cave where he found himself.

As he stepped out into the open, a sharp pain seared through his body. "What the...?" he gasped as he noticed his red jacket had been ripped apart. Someone had attacked him, but he couldn't see the assailant anywhere.

On high alert, Felix scanned his surroundings and saw a shirtless muscular man approaching, wearing a peculiar bunny-shaped mask. The man wielded a menacing whip and had pistols holstered at his belt.

Felix realized he was ill-prepared for such a confrontation. Regret washed over him for not taking martial arts more seriously.

Without hesitation, the masked enemy lashed out with his whip, but Felix managed to dodge the attack. He attempted a counter-attack, but the man was quick, easily evading his blows.

Meanwhile, the rabbit was frantically rummaging through his blue blazer. It seemed the creature was looking for something important.

Felix's mind raced, trying to figure out the best approach. Should he focus on the rabbit or deal with the masked enemy first?

With determination, he made his choice. He lunged at the masked man, grabbing his whip and ripping off the bunny mask. To his surprise, he found a terrified man underneath, his mouth taped shut.

"What is going on here?" Felix demanded, keeping the man pinned to the ground.

The man's muffled voice pleaded, "I'm just trying to finish the scenario! I thought you were the rabbit!"

"You attacked me because you thought I was the rabbit?" Felix raised an eyebrow, incredulous.

"Yeah, I mean, the scenarios can do some metaphoric shit sometimes. When I saw the actual bunny, I went 'oh.'"

Felix sighed, feeling a mix of irritation and understanding. "Alright, just stay put," he said, ripping off the tape from the man's mouth.

As the man coughed and gasped for breath, Felix kept a watchful eye on him. "You better not try anything," he warned.

The man looked apologetic. "I didn't mean to cause harm. We're all just trying to complete our scenarios and earn those coins."

"Coins? Is that what this is all about?"

"Yeah, completing scenarios earns us coins, and they're essential for our survival in Wonderland. The Mad Plotter sets up these challenges for us, and we have to make the best of it."

"The Mad Plotter?" Felix suddenly remembered how he ended up here. "That prick."

The man sighed and nodded. "For reals."

Felix was intrigued but had little time for philosophical discussions. "Enough chit-chat. What's your scenario, and what's with this 'Alice' thing in my profile?"

The man, now sitting up, explained, "Each scenario is unique to the protagonist. Yours might involve keeping the rabbit safe, while mine is to eliminate every rabbit in this area. And as for 'Alice,' well, that's just a common name or variation used for protagonists like us."

Felix shook his head, trying to process all the information. "This place is insane," he muttered.

"That's Wonderland for you," the man chuckled.
