Premise
While at the library, Lincoln spots a weird looking book that is completely different than anything he's ever seen before and decides to check it out. After doing so, he and others go on adventure they soon wont forget.

Authors Notes
So, I've been watching a lot of Scooby Doo lately, and thought it be fun to write a scooby-doo-esque story with a fantastical touch with my favorite slice-of-life show. This was originally going to be a Power Rangers/Super Sentai story called Go Go Loud Rangers! but I decided to postpone that.

Chapter 1: The Commanding Book
Lincoln always liked his trips to the school library. The space in his room had s very mellow atmosphere to it, a few moments of peace and quiet was a breath of fresh air in his chaotic and, well, loud life. He also loved browsing the books. Sure, the white-haired boy was always more of a fan of comics and the occasional manga, but there's a level of wonder and mystery about starting a new book on a whim. Almost like you're looking out a universe to engross yourself into.

The boy in orange was walking down the fiction isle, setting his gaze upon the section of fantasy books.

'Masterlord Orgos? They have that?!' he thought to himself, cracking a smile 'Clyde's been wanting to read that for ages now. I should check-' his train of thought almost instantly shifted when an odd looking book entered his peripheral vision. Unlike the other books, it was strewn across the floor and almost didn't even look like it belonged. The book was very large, it had to have been nearly a foot tall, if not bigger and the contents of the book was thick. Lincoln could only describe it as looking like a classic spellbook from a fantasy story, with what he presumed to be the backside of the book being a dark-brown leathery color with no detail, but lots of ware and tear. The boy felt an odd sensation overcoming him, almost as if the only things that existed right now was him and the book. Almost like a magnet, the boy in orange stepped towards the book and scooped it up. The weird looking book was heavy, very heavy, but the boy managed. For some reason, Lincoln felt like he wasn't allowed to flip the book over and see its name, yet did it anyway.

"The guide of Wizardry and the Realms of Nulltime...?" Lincoln quietly read. 'I wonder what it's like' he thought to himself, making a decision on checking out the book. As he came to the conclusion, he felt a tinge of guilt about not picking up the book Clyde wanted, but he tried to not think about it to much 'I mean, Clyde will probably find it when he comes here anyway' the boy reassured himself.

As the boy faced the librarian, he couldn't help but feel nervous, but he couldn't pin point why. 'I feel like something isn't right about this.." the confused boy thought to himself.

"Hi, Lincoln!" the librarian said in an enthusiastic, but subdued voice. The librarians name was Paige Turner, she was a young woman, no older than 24, with short brown hair and thick, square-shaped glasses. Her eyes were crystal blue and skin was of a pale complexion. She was always a pleasant and nice woman who knew all the students by name.

"Hey, Ms. Turner..", the boy greeted her, but not in his typical, cheerful way. His flat tone caused Turner to worry about the boy. She hadn't been working at the library for more than two years, yet she already knew that the Loud children could be quite the handful. From the chats she and Lincoln, or sometimes Lola and Lana, she could only imagine the stressful environment he's growing up in.

"Anything wrong, Lincoln?" Ms. Turner asked, with a tone of concern.

"Nah" the boy replied back with, trying to come up with an excuse, "Just, uh, not really feeling so hot today", using his arm to rub off any sweat on his forehead in order to "sell" his sickness, only to realize he was sweating like a pig 'Gross!' he ranted in his head.

"I see..So. What book would you like to check out, Lincoln?" Ms. Turner asked once again, only to finally notice the massive book Lincoln was lugging around as he struggled to lift it onto her desk
