When a Wizard Binds to a Scum Lover System

Willy is a wizard living on a Western fantasy continent. His profession is professor of potion studies, his interest is researching potions, and his specialty is brewing them.

With his severe social anxiety and extreme homebody habits, Willy has never had a love life.

Then he was bound by a highly intelligent being called the "Scum Bottom System" and brought to the interstellar age.

In this unfamiliar era, technology has completely replaced magic. Apart from a few scattered references in ancient books, potion studies, the subject Willy teaches, is nowhere to be found in the real world.

Willy: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Willy shuts himself away. Willy bangs his head against the wall. Willy wants to go home.

System: Sweetie, complete the scum bottom missions and earn legendary potion ingredients. You can even go home!

Over the next ten years, Willy lets loose, no, endures humiliation and hardship, and gets into the Federation's First Military Academy with excellent grades. While studying there, he follows the System's instructions, stringing along his childhood friend, diligently acting like a lovesick puppy for a general's son, and keeping a fuck buddy he sees once a week.

Willy thinks being a scum bottom is exhausting. Willy wants to turn them all into toads. Willy still wants to go home.

System: Keep it up, sweetie! Just hang on until the beloved protagonist bottom can stand on his own, and you can go home with your precious potion ingredients!

A few months later.

News came from the front lines that the protagonist bottom had been crippled and captured.

The System fidgets with its fingers: Sweetie, I'm sorry. It seems the protagonist bottom's halo has stopped working. I don't know what to do either.

Willy is angry. Willy doesn't want to be a scum bottom. Willy will get home on his own.

He applies for his own lab, throws himself into the study of the occult, and refuses pointless socializing and romance. In the eyes of outsiders, he has become a strange man.

No one at the First Military Academy knows that some of the eternal laws governing their world have already begun to crumble in silence. Then unknown plants sprout from the earth, and creatures found only in ancient books suddenly appear: beastfolk, dwarves, undead, elves... They joyfully sing their praises:

"Willy, Willy, you have brought light and darkness."

"You have overturned heaven and earth."

"You are a god, a demon, the first among all living beings."

Many years later, textbooks would call it the "Interstellar Age of Magic," but most people would rather call it the...

"Willy Era"
