The last thing I remembered before dying… was complaining on Twitter.
Specifically, I was ranting about Death Note.
I had written a long post about how the story could have gone differently if L Lawliet had survived.
It was honestly a pretty passionate rant.
Then—
A truck.
Bright headlights.
Pain.
And darkness.
When I woke up again, the first thing I noticed was the ceiling.
White.
Perfectly clean.
And very expensive looking.
"…What?"
My voice sounded strange.
I slowly sat up.
The bed was massive, easily something worth thousands of dollars. The entire room looked like it belonged to someone rich—ridiculously rich.
Floor-to-ceiling windows.
A modern penthouse design.
Minimalist furniture.
"…Where the hell am I?"
My heart began beating faster.
I got out of bed and walked toward a nearby mirror.
The moment I saw my reflection—
I froze.
Messy black hair.
Pale skin.
Dark circles under my eyes.
A thin body with a familiar slouched posture.
I stared at the mirror.
"…No."
I leaned closer.
"…No way."
The person staring back at me looked exactly like L Lawliet.
The world's greatest detective.
My brain immediately started spiraling.
What the hell is going on?
For five whole minutes I just stood there.
Panicking.
Thinking.
Trying to make sense of this.
But then something strange happened.
Memories started surfacing.
Not mine.
Information flooded into my mind—cases, investigations, psychological profiles, secret contacts, classified intelligence networks.
It was overwhelming.
And yet…
My mind processed it effortlessly.
"…What?"
I blinked.
My thoughts felt… faster.
Sharper.
More precise.
It was like my brain had been upgraded into something else entirely.
Then I realized something else.
I remembered everything.
Perfectly.
Every memory.
Every detail.
Eidetic memory.
"…Okay," I muttered.
"Either I'm hallucinating… or I actually got reincarnated."
I picked up the phone on the nearby table.
The moment I unlocked it, my suspicions only grew stronger.
Encrypted messages.
Government contacts.
FBI databases.
International crime reports.
An entire global intelligence network.
My mind instantly understood what it all was.
L's network.
The same global detective network controlled by L Lawliet.
And apparently…
It now belonged to me.
I scrolled through the contacts.
FBI directors.
Interpol agents.
Government officials.
High level security clearances.
And one name that made me pause.
Amanda Waller.
Amanda Waller.
I slowly put the phone down.
"…Alright."
"If Amanda Waller exists…"
That meant only one thing.
I walked toward the giant window and looked at the skyline.
Skyscrapers.
Flying vehicles in the distance.
And a massive building with a familiar logo.
LexCorp.
Owned by Lex Luthor.
My eye twitched.
"…You've got to be kidding me."
I wasn't just reincarnated.
I was reincarnated into the DC Universe.
A world filled with gods, aliens, vigilantes, and psychopaths.
"…Great."
Then suddenly—
A blue screen appeared in front of my eyes.
Floating in midair.
[SYSTEM INITIALIZED]
Welcome, Host.
God-Tier Detective System Activated.
I blinked.
"…Of course there's a system."
A list appeared in front of me.
SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Points: 0Points are earned by solving crimes and uncovering mysteries.
System Shop: Locked until points are earned.
"…Interesting."
So the more crimes I solve, the stronger I get.
That actually fit perfectly with my situation.
Then another notification appeared.
[STARTER PACK AVAILABLE]
"Well… that's convenient."
I opened it immediately.
Three rewards appeared.
Reward 1

"…That's absurd."
But also extremely useful.
The second reward appeared.
Reward 2
Basic Telekinesis Unlocked
You now possess low-level telekinetic abilities.
You can manipulate small objects with your mind.
I stared at a spoon on the table.
"…Move."
The spoon slowly lifted into the air.
I blinked.
"…Huh."
Okay.
That was cool.
Then the final reward appeared.
Reward 3
Superhuman Intelligence
Your intellect has evolved.
You now possess a Level 12 Intellect.
Your cognitive abilities vastly surpass normal humans.
My mind processed thousands of thoughts simultaneously.
Crime statistics.
Global political tensions.
Metahuman incident reports.
Everything suddenly made… perfect sense.
I slowly sat down.
Resting my chin on my hand.
The exact same thinking pose used by L Lawliet.
And then I smiled slightly.
Because I realized something.
This world had criminals like:
The Joker
Lex Luthor
Darkseid
And heroes like:
Batman
Superman
Which meant…
This world was one giant puzzle.
And puzzles…
Were meant to be solved.
"…Interesting."
A small smile appeared on my face.
"Let's see how long it takes before Batman notices me."
