From behind a pile of papers on the mahogany table, you could hear a groan coming from a young woman. She was dressed in a simple white button up collared shirt, as well as professional brown dress pants. Her red tie was loosened around her neck and a monocle hung from the pocket of her collared shirt. Her long overcoat which was slung over her shoulders, had fallen down at this point. A print of the scarf could be seen on her cheek as she sat up while rubbing her back. Sleeping over a desk was really uncomfortable, but for some reason she kept doing it. It was addictive. Even though she had her own home.

System55566688833: Still no hints?

That's correct. This girl in the Sherlock Holmes outfit was WuAi, and she had already been in this world for a week.

No, WuAi grumbled, No hints. Can't you give me any? She pulled on the ring that hung around her neck in her anxiousness. 

System55566688833: Even if I did, will it help you with your mission?

No.... it wouldn't. WuAi could only slam her fist down in frustration.

In the beginning the System had said it would be able to help her in anything, and now what was this? Wasn't even willing to give her a hint for something so small.

WuAi thought back to the first day she landed in this world.

She had woken up in the same fashion, face smashed to the scarf on top of her desk as she felt the drool leak from the corner of her mouth.

System55566688833: Transferring original host's memories.

WuAi immediately wiped off the drool as she looked through her character. She was a detective who was transferred to a small police station. There were lots of serial killings recently in the town, and the police weren't able to solve it themselves.

Mission: Find a cure for vampires to be able to turn back into a human +700,000 points.

What the hell? Vampires? They're real?

System55566688833: Do you want me to go into detail about them?

...Actually, no, I don't want to know. Anyway, so much for just 1 mission?

System55566688833: It is because it is your first world, so it is quite high and only 1 mission to fulfill.

How many worlds do I have to go through to get my memory back? How many points is necessary to change my fate?

That depends on you, but I estimate that it will take approximately 13 worlds. As for your fate, for each day you want to go back, it is a million points each.

Ok, sounds doable. System55566688833, is there another name to call you by? It's too long of a name.

System55566688833: You can call me Love.

No way. What are we, dating? I'll just call you.... Hong84.

System55566688833: What? Why a completely different number? And a color? (Why did you even ask for my opinion then in the first place...)

No reason. It just suits you.

The phone rang on her desk, "Hello? Detective WuAi."

A rushed voice could be heard over the phone, "Someone else has died!" WuAi immediately hung up the phone and walked out of her office. She nodded at her assistant and they immediately got into the car.

They arrived at a brick house on the west side of town. It was a quiet part of the town with people mowing the lawns every now and then. They stared at the police car weirdly. 

Upon entering the house, it didn't smell of blood. Despite a large man laid out on the floor and sofa with a huge gap in his chest where his heart should be. This marked the 5th death in this district.

"Was anything stolen? Money? ID? Treasures?" Her assistant shook his head. "Anyone he had any conflict with recently?"

"The police are currently looking into it right now."

WuAi walked up to the forensics officer, "Anything particular?"

She looked up at WuAi as if she was asking a stupid question, "Can't you tell that no blood coming out of him is already very particular?"

System55566688833: That's the Female Lead.

WuAi took a double take. Her large eyes were hidden behind thick black glasses and she couldn't see the rest of her as she was dressed in gear. The female lead.... 

This is the female lead? She's rude.

System55566688833: Not all female leads are the white lotus characters. If they act like it though, they are fake.

Thus there is no such thing as a white lotus character.

System55566688833: Correct. You must see through their masks. This female lead is very straight forward and honest though.

WuAi wanted to answer back sassily too, "Yeah, who else can't see that," but she kept to herself.

They scoffed at each other. WuAi could easily see they were not going to get along well with each other in the future.

WuAi looked around for a bit longer but nothing weird could be seen. She once again nodded to her assistant and they returned to the office and began to look through past case files.

Now a week later, she is still looking over the files trying to understand a motive behind these weird killings. Each file stated that something pierced through their heart, going right through the clothes, the ribs, and muscle, but there were no blood splatters on scene. Today she was going to have to go to the forensics building in the city to see if that female lead learned of anything else.
