Chapter 1: Prologue
"Did I go crazy?" Just moments ago, I was in bed, wanting to sleep.
Shutting my eyes briefly, I found myself in a different room I had never seen before. There were thoughts of me being kidnapped, but that didn't seem to be the case when I wasn't bound, and the door in this room could be opened.

[Main Mission: Find the reason why the world will end!]
[Deadline: 25 years!]
[Failure: Destruction of the World!]
"..."
Yeah, I must be dreaming. Looking at the bed next to me, I thought I should go to sleep in this dream and probably return to reality.
[Indentity Created!]
[Warning! The information would be forced into your head! Prepare for an uncomfortable experience!]
"Wah!?" Before I could let out my voice, a numbing experience could be felt in my head.
"!!!" I felt a mixture of brain freeze, nausea, and something similar to a hallucination drug being forced upon me.
As the system had said, I started to feel foreign memories appear out of nowhere. From the first memory to our current time, everything that this body has experienced and remembered has entered me like an anal bead.
No, I haven't been pegged. It's just that this intense headache caused by the system was something out of this world. You would think it was trying to fuck you in the ass.
Banging my fist against the ground, I could feel the pain lighten up. The agony I faced had disappeared, and the tears that came from my eyes were those of happiness.

[Flaw: Everything that comes out of your mouth is the truth.]
Aimbot? What was this? An FPS game? The system's stats made me think that I had transmigrated into a world of games.
Flaw? What kind of shit is this? Surprisingly, I found information about this feature by grabbing whatever came to mind.
In exchange for a talent, everyone in the world would get a flaw. A flaw could range from something minimal to something severe. The best is having faster nail growth, and the worst is being bald.
"Ignus Crambell..." I had mixed feelings about my name, as it was totally different from the one I had moments ago.
Granted, the name is Ignus Crambell. He was someone my age and was accepted to the best academy in this country. After finishing high school, the academy I was accepted to was called the Iron Cage.
Not only was my name different, but my appearance was as well. Unlike my average appearance, I looked like a fragile doll that needed protection. At least I could still be noticed as a male, as I wasn't all feminine-looking.
Returning to the topic of the academy, this body heard rumors that the Iron Cage was an academy similar to a prison. Despite this, anyone with a future they could look forward to wanted to enter. It was an all-in-one academy where anyone could make anyone grow to an incredible degree. At the same time, everyone there should be talented. Because of this, the academy was the best place for someone to learn.
Those who graduate will guarantee success unless they somehow are stupid enough to commit a crime.
As for Ignus, given his personality, he didn't seem to mind the drench-wrenching environment and applied to the academy. He was vastly different from me, as he was an empty husk who preferred not to speak much and didn't make much connection. He had no family, no relatives, and nothing except some cash to live to his thirties at his current pace.
He wasn't my opposite, as I wasn't a chattermouth, but I was more of an expressive person. Games that could use facials as an advantage would fuck me over.
Unlike Ignus, I wasn't motivated to go to the Iron Cage. The system was the only reason I knew I had to go to such a place. If such talents are going to be in the Iron Cage, then that might give me a clue as to why the world would be destroyed.
With stats like mine, going to the Iron Cage was suicide. Even though I didn't know the average stats, an F stat didn't look great on my resume. It made me think that I was a failure in some way.
There are still two weeks before I have to go to the Iron Cage, as I will start living there during that time.
Training was my only option, but what I wanted to know was the most efficient way for me to gain stats without wasting a lot of my time.
The first thing I could think of were monsters coming from the vortex. A vortex is a spiral portal that leads to a different realm. A small realm that was enough to fill monsters with resources that, for some reason, could respawn infinitely. Killing them would automatically make someone absorb part of their soul, allowing us to grow.
Surprisingly, before I transmigrated, I was tired and didn't sleep. Now that I took over this body, I felt all the energy in the world, and grinding was what I wanted to do.
Before I started doing all of this, I needed a range weapon. Something that could shoot multiple times, along with a high-damage ceiling.
Seeing that it was still bright out in the day, I guess I would have to use some of my fortune to get what I wanted.
