When we left the surgery and went home, it was quiet again..., honestly, having these golden fingers is amazing, but I still wonder how I got here, after all, I was no more than twenty, I didn't drink or smoke, I couldn't just die like that, right?
In the middle of the ride, a sharp pain appeared, as if someone was repeatedly stabbing my head with a knife, and in the middle of it, I heard strange, incomprehensible sounds.

[...=7={_9_%{5$7.}@- ]
I tried not to show it, but the pain slowly grew stronger and I let out a quiet hiss. Luckily, no one noticed and I tried to focus on the feeling of my energy and focus it on my head, but it didn't work, I couldn't concentrate despite the pain.
After my efforts and a few minutes of suffering, the pain suddenly stopped and I heard a beautiful, harmonious female voice.
[Greetings, your host]
A host like me? Isn't this the end of my golden fingers or what? "Hi, who are you?" I spoke through our mental bond. I'm not a retard to talk loudly to the system and attract more attention, am I?
[I am the Shadow Monarch System 2.0]
"WHAT!" I shouted across the car, this is really not right? Don't be surprised I couldn't hold back.
I saw the worried faces of my parents turning to me, I couldn't do anything more than look like an idiot at this point.
As soon as they saw me look like that they turned back and I could breathe a sigh of relief, "system, do you know why I'm here?" first the most important thing
[You died... and your soul was brought here]
"Eemm, I really didn't expect such an answer, I thought maybe you'd at least tell me how I died..." with an even more idiotic expression on my face I specified what I wanted and it worked right away
[Next time, you must specify this to the host in more detail. You died due to cardiac arrhythmia, and thanks to your will, you overcame the soul purification and appeared here.]
Did I really die so miserably? I asked myself this question. At least I know it now and I can smile about this new chance, after all I have a few golden fingers and a new and hopefully better life.
During this internal reflection and contemplation, the system assigned me my first tasks.

"You're kidding, aren't you? I hope the system doesn't take this seriously, how am I supposed to do even one tenth of this in this small and skinny body, oh my god I'm going to die on the first day?" Fear is what I feel now, I know I'm a little stronger, but not enough to do this and I don't even have where to
[Don't worry host, although the system has removed the feature of distributing points to a given stat, this feature has been replaced by improving your quirks, which will be improved simultaneously and will help you become stronger in basically all stats that you would normally have distributed]
"Wait, seriously?, that's pretty cool, are there any other changes or deleted system features?"
I began to be more interested in amazement.
[Store features - same as previous]
[inventory - same as previous]
[tasks - adapted to reality]
[character/status - skill sheet, armor equipment, titles, levels]

"Interesting, but how can I have you when there should already be one Shadow Monarch?"
[The host is not at the level of knowing, for him, such irrelevant information…]
"super.."
