John awoke only to find himself in an unknown place. He was about to get up on his feet, but something heavy blocked his way up.
"What the fuck?"
Although he was confused, he tried putting some force and managed to get it off his vision, but he was shocked speechless by the sight around him.
Looking around, he could only see walls. Am I in a cave or something? John thought in his mind while trying to make sense of what he was seeing.
The last thing he remembers was sleeping in his bed as usual, but how did he wake up into this strange place? Was he kidnapped while asleep?
When John finally get on his feet, he noticed something peculiar. One of the things that he noticed was that his body feels light,
"But that is impossible, right? The last time I checked, I'm over 100KG in weight."
John continued looking around with hopes that something or someone would tell him what the hell is going on to him. But before he could even do that, something strange appears within his vision.
It was a screen that he often sees in games, but strangely the screen was covered in red like that of blood.

1st Mission - Exit the cave safely.
Reward - 10 EXP and 10 GOLD
***********************************
"What? What is this shitty screen talking about? So I'm actually in a cave, no wonders everything around me is just a wall."
But what does it even mean by getting out of this safely? I don't see anything around me, but am I supposed to get chased by a monster or something like that in here?
"Give me a break, man. Hmm? What the fuck is this- wait, this is my hair? I don't remember having long hair, specially dyed in white."
When he looked down to ponders, something struck his vision once again. But when he touched it and feel it around his fingers, he could tell that it is his hair. He was once again shocked at how his hair suddenly grows longer and even dyed in white.
"Hmm? Is this my arm? Why does it looks so weak and thin like the arm of a girl? ...no way. Are you telling me that this pale and thin-looking arm is mine?"
John started to have an uneasy feeling creeps in his heart when he feels like he has lost some of the most important weight on his lower region when he steps forward. He immediately put his hand in his pants but only to feel that his world has turned upside down.
"Where...is..my little brother?"
He was starting to panic but before he can go full-on panic mode, John saw something in a corner of his view within this dark cave. It was a large pool of crystalline water. He runs straight toward it, but once arrived, he was startled by the clear reflection of his appearance on the water.
A beautiful silver-white hair, blood-red eyes that shine like the moon in the night. But the most important thing is, the one thing he doesn't want to admit the most is that the person in the reflection showed is a woman.
"What the fuck?! Are you kidding me? Everything around me doesn't make any sense! First of all, How did I ended up here, in this dark cave? And what the fuck was that system thing back then?"

***********************************
What do you mean by penalty? How would I get out this cave when I don't even know where I am? Give me a map or something.
As soon as John thought of a map in his mind, a huge-size map appeared in his vision. And the map showed all sort of paths of the cave he currently reside, the cave was like a huge maze which brought headache to John.
Although he was angry at suddenly found himself in a strange place and was told to escape from this dark cave by a strange system, John was also afraid of what is going to happened to him if he ended up failing the mission given by the system.
"System or whatever, can you show me my status? You have something like that, right?"
Because of how the system's screen looks so identical to a game that he once played, he expects there has to be a status screen somewhere in the system.

"Vampire? I'm a vampire?"
When John looked at the race, he was surprised that it said that he was a vampire. Now that I think about it, how could I didn't noticed my pointy ears and fangs? John thought as he looked down at the reflection of himself on the water.
John finds it interesting, but nothing changes as the fact that what happened to him is extremely confusing. And also that I have to fulfill the mission given by the system, otherwise I will suffer a penalty.
...
John started to walk through the cave as he looked at the map, he had no idea where to go even after staring at the map for this entire time. He doesn't know exactly where the exit is.

***********************************
It had been 15 minutes of walking through the cave and yet, John was still lost inside the cave. He was also scared of walking endlessly through this cave due to the mission which told him to escape the cave safely, which means that there must be something inside this cave that could hurt me.
As he progressively dives deeper into the cave, he suddenly comes to a halt when he hears a noise of something sticky falling onto the ground right behind him.
John quickly looked back and was surprised to see a jelly-like thingy squirming on the spot.
"Is that a slime?"
Looking closely, it does look like a slime he had seen in most RPG games that he had played before. It looks kind of cute.
While John was staring at the Slime, suddenly a new screen appeared in his vision.
