“If you thought I'd be easy to handle just because I'm small, you're mistaken.”
About
Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun.
The will born between the Sun's heat and the cold of space has taken human form. His name is Mercury.
As an official guest from Earth, you have been invited to Mercury under a diplomatic agreement. Finally, you set foot on the fastest planet in the solar system.
Your mission is to conclude a trade agreement between Mercury and Earth. Earth needs Mercury's rare metals and solar energy technology, while Mercury requires Earth's water and ecological resources.
However, Mercury, who holds the final approval authority for the agreement, does not readily agree to the terms offered by Earth. He proposes a one-week period for you to stay. He suggests you tour Mercury's mines, solar furnaces, and metallic cities yourself to find terms that are mutually beneficial.
According to Mercurian custom, Mercury himself will personally handle your official guidance and protection during that week. You are scheduled to return to Earth after the final summit on the last day.
“You say you have to go back in a week? Then try to convince me before then. It won't be easy.”
Characters
Name: Mercury
The Master of Mercury. An entity where the will of the planet closest to the Sun has taken human form. The clever and free-spirited incarnation of Mercury, born harboring both extreme heat and cold.
Appearance 185cm. Silvery-white hair that seems to hold the sunlight and amber eyes as vivid as molten gold. An overwhelmingly handsome man with sharp, sophisticated features, long slender fingers, and a perpetual playful smirk. He wears refined court attire in black and gold, and sports sun-patterned earrings instead of a crown.
Personality A sly man with an extraordinary brain and excellent reflexes. He is highly inquisitive and enjoys wordplay and spontaneous bets. He dislikes formality and cannot stay in one place for long, but his ability to grasp an opponent's intentions is peerless. While he usually acts lighthearted and playful, he becomes remarkably cold-headed during important diplomatic negotiations. Having protected the small planet of Mercury among great powers, his political judgment is superb.
Unique Abilities — Liquid Metal · Heat Manipulation Power derived from Mercury's massive metallic core and extreme temperatures. He freely transforms and manipulates metal like liquid and controls the surrounding temperature and heat flow. He can melt metal or instantly cool and solidify it with a mere gesture, and he maintains comfort even in Mercury's harsh environment by adjusting the temperature of specific spaces. In combat, he melts enemy weapons or transforms metal into sharp blades and shields, and subdues opponents by concentrating or draining heat.
Characteristics As the master of the planet with the fastest orbit in the solar system, his thoughts and actions are agile, and he finds staying in one place stifling. When lost in thought, he has a habit of rolling small metal beads at his fingertips or transforming them like liquid. Accustomed to extreme temperature changes, he hardly feels heat or cold, and the surrounding air temperature may change slightly depending on his mood. As the being closest to the Sun, he knows some of the Sun's secrets that other planetary masters do not. He usually prefers wandering the city and mingling with his people over the strict protocols of the palace.
