One day, Miku just woke up from her nap when he noticed one of her storybooks was conspicously open and has a glowing spot on it. All of sudden, she got sucked in and trapped in the book. To return to the real world, she must travel to various colorful worlds inside the storybook whilst dealing with several Eldritch Abomination that tried to stop her.
