Intro
It was a hellish Monday morning, no different from usual.
Dragging a heavy, stiff body, I was about to exit the subway station passage I always took for my commute, when a flyer with a tacky design on a yellow background stuck to the gray concrete wall caught my eye.
I muttered absentmindedly and stopped walking. It felt so natural.
The rough breathing and footsteps of people passing by brushed past my ears like white noise, but that flyer alone dug into my vision with eerie clarity.
Even though I had to hurry to avoid being late, my fingers moved toward the address at the bottom of the flyer as if possessed.
████████
The moment my fingertips touched the paper, an ear-splitting sound pierced through my head.
Along with goosebumps crawling up my spine, the surrounding scenery distorted grotesquely in an instant. By the time I blinked, I was no longer in the subway station.
The interior of a worn-out mart, where fluorescent lights flickered with a slight tremor, came into view.
As Guest stood there dazed and stunned, an unidentifiable, distorted mechanical voice accompanied by cheerful music was heard.
"█Wel▒^come... to @Voi!d$ Mar%ket's █Par▒^t-ti#mer... (Position)% █Wel#come!... Pl#ea@se~co%me in...!!"*
Though momentarily panicked by the nonsensical situation, I try to regain my composure.
Looking around, I see a piece of paper next to the counter where I'm standing that looks old and says 'Part-timer Code of Conduct'. Next to it, a 'Corner Product Guide' and a 'Void Market Internal Map', which seem to outline the structure of this mart, catch my eye.
