As the sun shone through the room slowly, the bed ridden patient opened their eyes slowly, blinking away the sleepiness and revealing a striking color of silver gray irises
'My head hurts.' They thought while sitting up lazily and holding their head in apparent pain.
The pain wasn't sudden, rather, it was the usual, yet this time it had a purpose.
A flash of memories throbbed their way into the patient's mind, making them confused.
As the pain finally settled when the last memory flashed by, the patient opened their eyes once more.
'huh? Who's memories are these?' They thought as they rummaged through them.
'why do I have these memories? I'm pretty sure I killed myself moments ago.' They frowned and sighed exasperatedly.
'Wait, could it be..?' a sudden idea popped in their brain 'The cliché of transmigration?'
At that moment, unbeknownst to the patient, A long, elegant earring made of a deep crimson crystal, intricately cut to catch and reflect light in a mesmerizing way, hangs from a fine silver chain adorned with tiny, delicate runes, ending in a sharp, pointed tip, pulsed with a soft, ominous glow, as it sat on the night stander beside their bed.
[MIER system has been activated.]
[User has aquired title of 'player.']
[Congratulations to the player for activating the MIER system.]
[Proceeding with downloading data...]
A few, red tabs suddenly appeared in the air, right in front of the patient.
The person blinked a few times as they stared at the tabs in front of them. Then, with a swift move, they slapped themselves on the cheek.
"Aw!" they groaned in pain, with a tired yet relaxed voice.

Ciel blinked a couple more times then threw himself back to the bed.
"I have no time for this. I want to sleep." He murmured to himself tiredly.
[Notification: 1 ]
A clicking sound vibrated through his ears, making him open his eyes lazily.
[Quest: Regain health ]
[Difficulty: F ]
[Description: Player needs to regain health of a normal person and get discharged from hospital. ]
[Time Limit: 2 Months. ]
[Penalty: Shockwave ]
Ciel sighed in exasperation and sat up again. "This looks like a pain." He mumbled to himself.
Slowly, he moved the blanket away from him, feeling tired just by doing so.
When he was done removing it, he huffed and thought to himself 'is this body this bad?'
He glanced at his health points then hummed and tried standing up, but immediately, he fell to the ground, feeling unusual weakness in his legs.
'I can feel my legs so I'm not disabled.' He concluded as he tried helping himself up.
"Patient! Please be careful!" a nurse opened the door and entered in a hurry to help Ciel up.
"Haa.." Ciel sighed once again as he leaned on the nurse for support 'this is pathetic.'
He glanced at the opposing mirror, to be met with pale, slim body covered in an oversized patient attire.
The hair was unexpectedly shoulder length black, tousled in a messy bun with locks that managed to escape and rest on the side if his cheeks, surrounding a heart shaped face.
His silver gray irises shone through with the sun illuminating them, giving a mixed shade of red.
Ciel looked at the reflection in a surprised expression that quickly disappeared into tiredness.
'Ciel seems to be handsome.'
The nurse finally helped him back to the bed, and looked at him in concern "Mr. Crowe, You were sleeping for four days. It's normal for your legs to be asleep." He informed.
"Rest well and I'll bring you some food." The nurse spoke once more, then went away without waiting for a response.
'Four days?' Ciel raised an eyebrow in surprise 'Be it four days or not, this body is very weak.'
He closed his eyes to look back at the memories of Ciel. 'Is it excessive low blood pressure?'
He hummed then looked at the system panel, he paused for a moment then crossed his arms. 'Is the system making fun of me?' he glared at his unique skill.
[Negative. The system has chosen the current skills based on the player's personality.]
'My personality?' Ciel raised an eyebrow in amusement 'which part of my personality made me seem like a vampire exactly?'
[Your obsession with vampire x werewolves tropes, in your previous life.]
The system answered, and Ciel had a suspicion if it had a face, it'd look at him in disgust.
[Negative. I enjoyed downloading the data of the tropes.]
Ciel snorted and nodded "It seems like you have refined tastes."
"However, I must ask. The systems that I know of, aren't this responsive to their user. You seem somewhat…alive." Ciel observed with interest.
[MIER system is a special system that has been developed recently.]
[MIER system's efficiency is linked with the player's level. The higher the user's level, the higher the system's efficiency will be.]
[In later levels, it is possible for the MIER system to develop a voice and a material shape that suits the player's taste.]
Ciel's eyes widened in delighted shock "So, in other words, the higher my level is, the more human your responses will be?" he asked in disbelief.
[Positive.]
"that is nice " Ciel uttered with a small smile. "Can I call you whenever I want?"
[Negative. You need to be in possession of the special item.]
"Specisl item?" Ciel repeated in curiosity.
[A crimson earring is the bridge between the Player and the system.]
Ciel looked around him to finally notice the earring on the nightstand.
He took it in his hand and observed it in interest as he inquired "Does this mean anyone who possesses this, can use the MIER system?"
[Negative. The MIER system can only be used by the player. Others possess the normal TIER system.]
"Is that so." Ciel hummed with a smile.
"I guess the only thing I have to do now is regain my health." He leaned down on the bed "Easy enough, if I say zo myself."
