"God… did someone get the number of that truck that hit me…?" I groaned, my head pounding in pain. I sat upright, trying to ignore the increasingly noticeable headache.

"Where am I? This isn't-... Is? My room… what the hell- 𝘼𝙍𝙂𝙃!" I yelled, holding my head between my hands. Memories that both were and weren't mine were shoved into my brain, while painfully adapting, the memories being sorted automatically.

Three minutes. I spent three minutes on the carpet essentially frothing at the mouth in pain.

Pros of reincarnation: You aren't dead anymore.

Cons of reincarnation: I feel like shit!

It's one way of giving me information on my new life, but couldn't you have given me a letter or something!? Lazy bastard!

Hell, the only reason my name wasn't erased was that he was too lazy to do it!

…

After complaining to a Janitorial Diety that probably wasn't listening, I had calmed down enough to view what memories I did get from that painful yet necessary event.

My name was Clark Juniper. That part hasn't changed. My parents died in an accident after leaving the hospital with me. I was the only survivor.

'Kay, that sounds like the start of some shitty rom-com.

Also spent some years going through the foster system, before bunking with a woman named Maiko Satō. How would I describe her?

MILF. No doubt in my mind.

She's like… okay take the classic clingy childhood friend trope, then mix in some possessive tendencies. Not enough to seem easily jealous but definitely too little to be considered obsessive.

Like an Ara Ara kind of deal.

Still, that stare creeps me the fuck out thou- wait stare- HOLY SHIT WHEN DID SHE GET HERE?!

"WHAT THE FUCK!" I'll admit it, I shrieked. But in my defense, I just had another life shoved into my brain! I still haven't dealt with the fact I died yet, and It was eleven at night!

The hitched breathing was just fucking textbook at this point!

Sue me!

Still, she was right-fucking-there! Hell, the only reason I registered her presence was because of the god damn dead-eye stare! I take back what I said about behavior, that is prime-yandere material damn it!

I blinked, "...Maiko?" I asked her, my voice filled with confusion and a slight sliver of fear. She didn't respond

"Uh… Maiko? Hello?" I moved my hand to the lamp and I turned it on. The sudden change in light levels seemed to snap her out of whatever funk she was in. Though, I don't see what would make her sweat like tha-...

wait…

At least she had the decency to blush in embarrassment. (I think that was embarrassment at least.) I raised an eyebrow, "So~, you mind telling me why you're here at like…" I looked at the clock on my bedside table, it read 11:32 PM, "... At eleven-thirty at night?"

She blinked, before answering "I-... I just decided to do laundry early, that's all! I didn't want to wake you!"

…How stupid does she think I am? Though it'll probably make it more awkward in the morning, so I'll ignore that for now.

"Alright… I put the basket in the laundry room some three hours ago before I decided to go to bed. I was gonna do it in the morning, but go ahead I guess." I went along with her little lie.

She awkwardly laughed, "Haha, well, I'll see you in the morning!" she hurriedly added, not noticing the 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦 obvious puddle near the door.

'Damn! Is she really that backed up?!' I exclaimed in my head.

Now at this point, I was really too tired to care, so I just slinked over to the bathroom, before grabbing some toilet paper, and just covering the… "Puddle" with it.

I turned off the lamp and conked out the second my head hit the pillow.

Just too much to process at once man.

…

*𝘽𝙍𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂!*

*𝘽𝙍𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂!*

*𝘽𝙍𝙍-!*

I shoved my palm onto the snooze button.

"Jesus…" I muttered, my head still hurt, but it was significantly lessened compared to last night. Now that I wasn't distracted by all-encompassing and blinding pain, I could focus on the power I got from that wheel.

'Now, didn't that guy-... I'll name him Dave. Didn't I get some kind of Chat Group system from that whee-'

[1 New Notification!]

…I tapped the floating icon, a trace of disbelief gracing my face.

[𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁: 'Make Friends!'

Oi! Rude son of a bitc-!

"Clark-kun! Breakfast is ready!" Maiko shouted from downstairs, "Yep, got It! Be down in a sec!" I shouted back.

A few minutes later, I was downstairs wearing a school uniform. The fact I have to re-do school again made me feel no small amount of anger. 'I just got my Masters's degree in Psychology damn it!'

"Today is your first day Clark-kun, aren't you excited!" Maiko exclaimed excitedly, as If last night's fiasco never happened.

"I mean… sure? Not sure why a school would be exciting though" I said, occasionally taking a bite of the toast.

"You could make some friends! Nothing is boring about that." she shook her head, "Well, I need to head to work, so I'll see you later Clark-kun!"

"Have a good day at work!" I shouted to her retreating figure.

'I should be packing up soon, school will start in thirty minutes…' I mused to myself, grabbing my backpack (No way in hell am I going to use those Briefcase looking things)

I went about my 'new' daily routine.

Comb my hair into something more manageable, slip on my shoes, grab my bag, check if I forgot anything, and lock the door behind me.

After completing my morning routine, I approached the sidewalk, my mind on other things.

'This is my life now, huh? Guess I can't complain about monotony anymor- Ow!' I felt my head slam into something, before spotting what it was, or rather, who.

"Gah! O-Oh! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" The offending object asked before I got a good look at who it was.

It was Tadano Hitohito. My neighbor since I moved in, which was a year ago. I've never really interacted with him, just the occasional nod or two, or a passing greeting.

I don't think he even knows my name.

"Nah, It's fine" I grunted, before getting up and brushing myself off, "I know we've met, but I don't think It was anything more than passing. The names Clark Juniper… or Juniper Clark going by Japanese standards."

He looked surprised, probably expected me to get mad. "A-Ah… well, I'm Hitohito Tadano, Juniper-san Nice to meet you" He gave me a small bow "I was just in a rush to get to school, sorry" He apologized.

"It's fine, I was heading the same way as well. Do you go to Itan High as well?" I asked, knowing the answer, "Yes I do actually. Does that mean we're classmates?"

I smiled, "I would like to think so. Friends?" I held out my hand.

He seemed to stare at my hand pondering, before shaking his head and grabbing my hand, shaking it, "Friends." He parroted back.

As soon as I read the final pop-up, which was at the school gates, time… seemed to pause. It felt unnatural. Something that just felt 𝑤𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑔 to my very core.

The color faded, leaving nothing but grey.

[𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘, 𝙰𝚍𝚖𝚒𝚗.] My system piped up, in a calm androgynous voice.

"System- No, I'll call you… Pixel. Yeah, Pixel will work" I named it. It's better to befriend a system. Those things can make your life hell!

"It's… alright? I mean naming you was a given, can't just call you 'System' all the time." I said, confused, "But, why are you here? You could've just given me some text for the functions?"

I had an inventory?

"Sure, I guess." I said.

[Inventory-

"Huh… I got some good shi-𝗜𝗜𝗘𝗘𝗔𝗛! 𝗜𝗧 𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗡𝗦! 𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞𝗙𝗨𝗖𝗞-!" I screamed in pain.

I buckled onto the floor, holding my sides in pain. The sheer feeling of being burnt alive flashed across my mind's eye.

One minute later, along with some quiet cursing, I got back up. Now that I didn't have 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 interrupting my thought process, I could hear Pixel apologizing profusely.

Though, nothing will happen here.

I shook my head, to clear my thoughts, "Hey Pixel, send out those invites!"
