Well always wanted to write something like this,
Got some free time from other works and got into it.
Dearies enjoy.

My head felt like it had been used as a bongo drum by a steroid infused freaking gorilla, well that was my first thought and surprisingly my second thought was that my bed felt surprisingly uncomfortable, like the government-issued jail mattress type uncomfortable.
I cracked my one eye open, expecting to see my messy apartment, my call of duty/ PUBG gaming setup,piles of clothes and maybe a pile of tissues on the nightstand from some good old learning lessons late-night from Japanese teachers.
Instead, I was greeted by a grey metal ceiling and the hum of industrial air conditioning.
"Where the hell....."I sat up, the sheet sliding off my chest, I wasn't naked, thankfully I was wearing a grey t-shirt and boxers.I looked around all over the room, it was small, utilitarian, and depressing and definitely not mine.A single metal desk, a narrow wardrobe, and a window that looked out onto... ..a parking lot?
I scrambled out of bed and rushed to the small mirror bolted above the sink in the corner and astonishingly the face staring back wasn't mine.
I mean, it was handsome...way more handsome in a sort of boy band reject kind of way, but it definitely wasn't the face I'd gone to sleep with. High cheekbones, messy dark hair, blue eyes that looked a little too mischievous for their own good.
I looked young, may be Nineteen? Or Twenty?
"Okay," I whispered, touching my cheek. "Classic Isekai start, new face and new place , atleast please tell me I'm not in Attack on Titan. Fuck, I didn't say i wanted to Isekai now , only after I died as a 100 year old, damn you Jesus."
I looked down at the desk and there was a wallet and a lanyard lying there.
I snatched up the lanyard and the badge was heavy, laminated, and screamed authority of highest level but it was the logo that made my heart stop.
The Eagle
The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Holy fucking shit," I breathed out, a grin threatening to split my face. "I'm in the Marvel Universe." My excitement spiked, then plummeted just as fast as I read the name printed in bold black letters next to my photo.
AGENT TOBY DICK
Clearance Level: 1 (Logistics/Data Entry)
I stared at the card, stared again ,I blinked and rubbed my eyes , looked again and again.
"Toby Dick," I said aloud. The name tasted like a bad joke. "My name is literally T. Dick?
Who wrote this script? God? Are you laughing?"I flipped the wallet open and my Driver's License confirmed it.
Toby Dick,Born in Ohio, 19 years old, Current date: April 14, 2006
My brain instantly started processing the data. 2006 meant no Iron Man yet and Tony Stark was still just a merchant of death dealing weapons in the desert and fucking around.Captain America was a popsicle who missed peggy carters ass.Thor was probably getting drunk on Asgardian mead.
The world was safe,boring even but was perfect for me.
I checked the pockets of the uniform hanging in the wardrobe and found a god honest Nokia flip phone, it's been while since I used a switch phone.
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
I flipped it open with a satisfying snap. No smart apps, no Tinder,no Instagram to stalk models on, no reddit to fight over and no webnovel to read books.
"A tragedy," I muttered, tossing the brick of a phone onto the bed.
"How am I supposed to appreciate the female form in 2006? Magazines?"
As if on cue, a sharp, mechanical chime rang out inside my skull.It wasn't a sound; it was a vibration that rattled my teeth.
[SYSTEM INITIALIZING...]
[HOST DETECTED: TOBY DICK]
[COMPATIBILITY CHECK: 100%]
[INSTALLING THE DESIRE SYSTEM...]
I froze. A translucent blue screen hovered in front of my vision, glowing softly against the drab grey of the room. A System, Of course, I'd read enough fanfiction to know exactly where this was going, and frankly, I was ready to kiss whoever sent me here.
"Desire System?" I grinned."Now we're talking, Open Status simsim" , the screen flickered and expanded.

"Chocolate and Cologne," I laughed, shaking my head."This really is a lecherous system and I love it already." I quickly learned the CQC book, Knowledge flooded my brain...basic stances, how to throw a punch without breaking my thumb, how to disarm a drunk guy. Nothing fancy, but enough to stop me from getting my ass kicked by a stiff breeze.
I got dressed in the grey SHIELD academy fatigues.They were scratchy and fit a little loose, but looking in the mirror, I made it work. I had that rookie look of who doesn't know he's about to die and it was endearing.
I checked the time 07:45, my Shift started at 08:00. I stepped out of the room and into the hallway. The SHIELD Hub...probably the Triskelion or some satellite base was bustling. Agents in tactical gear walked briskly, looking important. Scientists in lab coats scurried around with clipboards and the women.
Oh lord, the women....
I had to physically stop myself from drooling,tight tactical suits, Sharp pencil skirts on the admin staff. It was like walking into a catalogue for Deadly & Gorgeous Monthly. A tall woman with auburn hair tied in a severe bun walked past me, holding a stack of files.She wore the standard Level 3 Agent uniform, which fit her... exceptionally well.
[Observe]
The text popped up over her head.

Information,Pure, unfiltered information.I felt like a god, oh yeah!!
"Coffee and a printer," I muttered to myself, watching her walk away. "I can work with that."
"Agent Dick!"
A booming voice snapped me out of my trance. I turned to see a burly man with a flat-top haircut and a neck wider than my head marching toward me. His badge read Instructor Miller. "Yes, sir!" I stood at attention, suppressing the urge to salute mockingly.
"Stop staring at the senior agents asses and get to Logistics," Miller barked, spitting a little. "You're on data entry today. Section 4 needs the inventory manifests for the Cafeteria digitized by noon.
If you mess up, you're on scrubbing duty ."
"Sir, yes sir," I said, putting on my best innocent face and my Poker Face hummed in the background.
"I was just... admiring the efficiency of the senior staff, sir." Miller narrowed his eyes, searching for a lie, but found nothing.
He grunted. "Move it, Dick."He walked away and I let out a breath, adjusting my collar. Data entry and cafeteria manifests,huh it sounded like hell on earth for anyone else. But for me it's a piece of cake .
I grinned, checking the System notifications and sure enough a new quest had appeared.

"Inventory manifests," I whispered, turning toward the Logistics department."That means I have access to the supply chain and i will know what comes in and what goes out... and who ordered the good wine."
I patted my pocket where the Midnight Essence cologne was stored in the Inventory dimension.
"Time to go to work, Toby. "
