I was drifting in and out of sleep, my textbook a lumpy pillow against my cheek. The steady drone of the ceiling fan was my lullaby, and the classroom seemed to dissolve into a peaceful beach in my dreams.
Thunk!
A sharp sting jolted me awake. I shot up, my hand flying to my forehead as I squinted at the classroom, disoriented. My eyes tracked the piece of chalk that had rolled off my desk. The entire class erupted into laughter.
"Welcome back to Earth, Mr. Ryder," Ms. Henderson's voice cut through my confusion. She was standing at the front of the room with a angry look on her face, another piece of chalk in her hand. "Care to share your dream with the rest of us?"
I looked around in a daze. "I... Where am I?" I blurted out, bewildered. "Wasn't I a doctor? Why the hell am I back in college?"
Ms. Henderson, her earlier strictness giving way to concern, looked at me with raised eyebrows. "Are you alright?"
"No, I just… Can I go to the bathroom for a quick break?" I stammered, still trying to piece together my scattered thoughts. The classroom seemed to spin, and a dull sound echoed in my mind, like a distant alarm.
Ms. Henderson's expression softened, and she nodded. I quickly made my way out of the classroom.
As I stepped into the hallway, I spotted a guy walking by. "Hey, where's the bathroom?" I asked, trying to sound casual but feeling anything but. He pointed down the hall and around the corner, giving me a weird look.
"Well, nothing's wrong with not knowing where the bathroom is in college," I muttered to myself as I headed in the direction he pointed.
I splashed cold water on my face, hoping to clear my mind. "So, are you still there?" I asked out loud, my voice echoing off the bathroom tiles. My head buzzed with a strange, metallic sound, as if a voice was whispering to me from somewhere beyond.
[Ding]
[Welcome, Host. You have been selected by The Supreme Multiversal System.]
[I wonder what our journey will be together.]
I stared at the message floating in my mind, my confusion deepening. If this had happened to anyone else, they'd probably be ecstatic, but not me. I was just trying to figure out what the heck was going on.
"What's the catch?" I thought, my mind racing.
["I like smart hosts,"] the voice responded.
["Nothing, there is no catch,"] it continued.
[You are just chosen by the system because you are compatible with it] It continued.
"I was compatible with you" I asked, wondering what he meant by me being compatible with him.
[ Just think of it you winning an lottery, but this lottery is one in billion chance lottery] It continued.
"who are you? anyway?" I asked clearly wondering who the hell is this Super Multiversal System.
[hmm, your memories told me, you have knowledge of comics and such but none of the comics you have learn has any system thus your confusion]
[well, you can think of system as Unique skill of yours, now say 'status' ]
"status" I said, as I wonder what this system could do.

[Just as you see this information is about you ]
"Yes, it really displays all my skills and knowledge of being a doctor" I nodded seeing this,
"So, it might be also you, whos is responsible for this right?" I asked her.
[Yes, I transmigrated you in this world as your previous unawaken world was not suitable for your growth] It said and I nodded.
I am not mad at it , as I didn't had any attachment to my previous world, as an orphan I don't really care much about it.
"I'll ask about you after I get home," I said to it as I returned to class. I waited for the class to end before heading home.
"I am back" I said as I return to home,
And then returning to my room, I sat on my bed as he looked outside my door, seeing my mom talking on her phone with her friends I locked the door, ready to talk to my system about its features.
"now, tell me what can you do?" I asked as the system screen once gain appear in front of me.
I looked through it and understood all its functions.
Firstly it can quantify all my abilities and show as status screen and then next is Function gacha, it can give me randomly one system function.
Right now, there is one free draw, after that I have to complete some quest to get another draws.
Next is Super shop and Super Points, Super Shop has anything, I skimmed through it finding Devil fruits to Zanpukto to even Infinity stones, and the currency of system is Super Points that can be obtained by completing achievements of quest.
I nodded seeing all of this and then said " Draw the system function"
As I said, a long gacha machine appeared mid air, as it began to turn and then a gacha ball appeared as I picked it and opened it.
