In front of his eyes, a blue window appeared,
[ Welcome player – Granbell Vermillion, loading player's special system - The Crimson Tyrant's system. ]
"Special? Granbell is a fire-oriented guy… What's special about a elemental system?"
[ Loading almost completed, ID recognized as Nathaniel, would you like to log in? Please verify password if so. ]
"Can I log in my ID account? Actually?" he was a bit hesitant, if so then the starting game would be easier than anything else.
Deciding to give it a try he blushed a bit, rolling his eyes, then quietly said, "IrllyLuvMilfs69"

[ WARNING ]
Tutorial difficulty increased due to over-leveled player.
"Hmm… I thought the tutorial would be a breeze for a second. I kinda wish I just started from zero in that case. Not even explaining where the real currency disappeared to… BP? Never heard of it."
[ Player's wish taken to heart - ]
"Pardon? I thought you can't hear me for a second..?—"
Suddenly three red windows appeared one after another.
[ WARNING ]
[ WARNING ]
[ WARNING ]
"No no no wait, system?"
Granbell tried clicking the X for the popup to disappear, hoping it was some kind of bug.
When suddenly:
[ PLAYER'S CHARACTER - THE CRIMSON TYRANT IS UNDERGOING AN REINCARNATION. UPON FINISHING, THE PLAYER WILL GET VARIOUS BONUSES ALONGSIDE AN ITEM BOX, AND A GIFT. ]
Starting to sweat a bit, panicking, he tried stopping it.
"Reincarnation? You mean a reset? Wait, wait system—Stop, stop—"
[ WARNING ]
[ UPON CHARACTER'S REINCARNATION, ITS ATTRIBUTES WILL BE WIPED OUT. ]
[ IF PLAYER WISHES OTHERWISE - ]
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, making the system disappear.
"HEY!? IF I WISH OTHERWISE!?"
"Pardon for intrusion. M'Lord." Someone said behind the closed doors.
"AHH—"
He abruptly stood up, pacing back and forth. "System, come on, show up! What if I wish otherwise?" he whispered, as the doors opened.
"M'Lord?" The brown-haired maid entered pushing forth a tray.
"Ah, you—" He tried calling her by name, realizing he didn't know it. He just turned away from her. "What is it?"
"I have brought wine, since you asked for some earlier."
Trying to calm himself down, he sat in the chair. "Understood. Please leave the tray and excuse yourself."
She slowly pushed the golden tray inside the room, carrying a wine bottle alongside various amounts of fine dried meat. "I know you asked for no dinner, but the cooks prepared at least this if you're willing—"
He raised his arm. "It's fine. Just leave the tray here and you may go."
"Understood."
Leaving the tray next to his worktable overloaded with scrolls, she took a golden cup decorated with diamonds and rubies at the edge, then carefully poured some and left it on the table.
With a bow, she turned and left, closing the doors behind her.
"SYSTEM! SYSTEM! SYSTEEM!"
Suddenly, he glowed yellow. His arm stretched forward; he blinked, not believing his eyes.
[ WARNING ]
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?"
[ CHARACTER WIPE OUT - COMPLETED. ]

"All of this… Just because I said I wanted to start at 0? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I WAS JOKING! DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT HUMOR MEANS—"
Suddenly, a black box and a black key materialized in front of him, dropping onto the table.
And then a voice whispered into his ear.
[ Thanks to choosing a character reincarnation, you gained a gift. ]
A small black cat floated above the box, glitching with pink and blue lights, slowly stabilizing.
[ I'm your specialized AI companion - NOX! Nice to meet you, master.]
It was robotic, almost childish, and somehow soothing.
