Lex's adventures begin with a quest: save [[DamselInDistress Cassandra the oracle]], who has been kidnapped by an unknown evil. With the aid of Professor Codex's magic pen, he jumps into the books of the Great Library to search for her, defeating enemies along the way with words created from a 4x4 4×4 grid of letters. The longer the words, the more powerful Lex's attacks are.
