The main character is 18 years old, and everyone who appears in the story is 18 years old.

Don't miss out! We'll send you the system details shortly.

……

"You son of a bitch!"

"Finally escaped!"

"Damn it!"

"What a stupid place!"

Mercury gave the middle finger to Black Den Town, which was not far away.

He slammed the salt onto the ground.

"Wait a minute? Where the hell did this salt come from?!"

Mercury threw the salt on the ground again, and his eye twitched.

"Great, it seems I'll never lack salt again."

Staring at the handful of snow-white salt grains at his feet, the elation of escaping from the small town was instantly split in two by doubt.

There wasn't even a sachet to hold the salt, so how did the salt seem to grow out of thin air in the palm of my hand?

"system?"

He called out tentatively.

[Ding~ Mother World's blessing is delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. The system panel has been loaded. We wish you a pleasant stay in this other world. Goodbye, dear transmigrator comrade.]

"what?"

Mercury was stunned by this series of answers.

Why are you leaving so soon after arriving?

"Would you like to stay for dinner?"

【Ding~ Sorry, sir, we have another order to deliver. Let's have dinner together again next time. Have a nice day!】

"Feed? Feed↗ Feed? Feed↗"

It seems they really have left.

After calling out several times without receiving a response, he finally gave up.

He simply sat cross-legged on the spot.

He silently recited the system's name in his mind.

The attribute panel just appeared directly in his mind? In his consciousness? Or in his soul?

"Screw it, I'm going to be rich now!"

I've been in this world for 18 years, and the system has finally arrived!

……

"What the hell is going on?" Mercury stared intently at the panel.

Although you can do it without your eyes, hahaha.

"Screw it! The King of Salt is practically a gift from Mother Earth, but what the hell is that vortex?"

"When did I acquire this ability? How come I didn't know?"

"And when did I inexplicably join the Vortex faction?"

"Don't tell me this vortex is that thing from Black Den Town?!"

When Mercury realized he had the ability to create vortexes, he inexplicably already knew how to control them.

As if by instinct, he raised his arm.

The large tree in front immediately twisted and turned, forming a vortex-shaped ruin.

"Oh~ this is really interesting~"

Upon realizing the power of this ability, Mercury immediately changed his tune.

"Who said this ability is terrible? This ability isn't terrible at all, it's amazing!"

The unexpected surprise even made him want to burst into song.

Unfortunately, the figure running towards him from afar made him abandon the idea.

"Mercury!"

"Shuichi! Oh, my brother, you've finally changed your mind."

Mercury opened his arms and hugged Shuichi... Kirie who was standing next to him.

The two main characters from Heiwo Town were people he met while studying in Heiwo Town.

Back then, the town wasn't called Heiwo Town; at least not until a few days ago.

"Mercury, it's just a decision to change the town back to its old name. Do you really want to leave for such a reason?"

"I said with concern."

This seems abnormal to him now.

No one would leave just because a town changed its name.

"Yeah, wouldn't it be great if you went to school with us and got into university together?" Kirie also tried to persuade him.

Mercury released Kirie, deliberately adopting a flippant tone.

"How can this place compare to the outside world? Can't you smell it? There's none of that musty smell in the wind like in Black Nest Town."

Shuichi was about to say something more when Kirie suddenly tugged at his sleeve.

"Sigh~"

With a helpless sigh, I realized that my friend wanted to leave, and I couldn't force him to stay.

He simply took out all the money he had on him and handed it to Mercury.

Kirie also took out all her money, including the money to buy the dress.

"Thanks, you guys are really good friends."

Mercury taking the money was probably driven by a lack of conscience.

With a solemn expression, he said to the two of them, "Watch closely what's coming next, and don't blink."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed it at the empty space.

Soon, the land formed a vortex shape.

Both of them were quite shocked by this supernatural scene.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"See? This is why I'm leaving."

He reached out and patted Shuichi on the shoulder. "Kurowo Town is far more dangerous than you think. If you two come to your senses, come find me in Chiba anytime."

"...Okay." All the words he wanted to say were summed up in one word: "okay." Shuichi nodded solemnly.

"Is this...that also your ability?"

Coming to her senses, Kirie pointed to the sign next to her.

The original road sign has been transformed into a vortex shape.

"..."

"Fuck you!" Mercury cursed and turned to run in the opposite direction.

I rode a motorcycle that someone had left on the side of the road.

"Remember this! Shuichi! Kirie! Leave Black Den Town as soon as possible!"

I gave him one last reminder, then twisted the accelerator all the way to the floor, and he shot off in a flash.

……

Watching his friend's departing figure, Shuichi stood there, lost in thought.

Just then, a vortex-shaped gust of wind suddenly swept up from the side.

Xiuyi hurriedly covered his eyes as the wind blew.

He could also faintly hear a sound in the wind, as thin as a mosquito's buzz.

"Come back...child...come back quickly...please come back..."

"Come back...child...come back quickly...please come back..."

The sound was like a thread wrapped in the wind, as faint as a wandering soul, yet it penetrated straight into the brain.

Shuichi suddenly opened his eyes. The wind had already stopped, and not even the leaves were shaking anymore.

But his eardrums were still ringing, as if the whispers were not coming from the outside world, but from deep within his skull.

Kirie stood frozen in place, her finger still pointing at the road sign that was twisted into a vortex shape.

Her lips trembled slightly: "Just now...did you hear that too?"

Xiuyi didn't speak, but slowly turned his head to look in the direction of Heiwo Town.

The town remains normal.

The sky was hazy and gray, as if covered by an invisible film.

"Mercury... he's not crazy," Shuichi finally spoke, his voice hoarse. "He's running for his life."

Kirie instinctively took a half step back: "But... what was that ability...? When did he learn something like that?"

"He won't," Shuichi shook his head, "but 'Vortex' will."

The two looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
