"Wait, what?! What the fuck?! This is too overpowered?!" John exclaimed.
Suddenly white light flashed before his eyes.
He found himself in front of a mirror. He remembered that's where you can customize your character.
The character John has decided to create is a vampire with the name 'Shadowstrike'. He has long, flowing white hair that cascades down his shoulder and piercing red eyes that seem to shine in the light. Standing 6'3", he has a lean but muscular build, athletic yet agile.
He has striking features such as high cheekbones, sharp and prominent fangs, and hypnotic eyes. He has very pale skin, as he is sensitive to sunlight. He also has pointed ears and a long pointed tongue and elonged fingers.

"I don't understand...What is this '100x Multiplier' talent? I never heard of this in my previous timeline." John sighed as he scratched his head.
Suddenly John felt a familiar sensation on his body. His vision became blurred, then everything went dark.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the starting vampire village of the game.
John sighed as he felt nostalgic, it's been a long time since he has been here.
He shook his head and wasted no time, he walked towards the village chief, who is standing in front of a water fountain.
The village chief is the one who is giving missions to players in the novice stages, but he also has some hidden quests, which of course, John will complete, but first, he needs to level up.
Just as he was about to step forward to the chief, he heard a 'ding'. He opened up his message window...
[Does the Host want to sign in?]
"Huh...? Uh, sure, I mean, yeah." John looked at the message window strangely.
[Host has signed in.]

John equips the 'Wind Bracelet' and feels a rush of energy in his body.

He walks up to the village chief and greets him. "Good Morning, sir."
The village chief is known to be strict and tough and many newbies made the mistake of being disrespectful to him because he is an NPC. Many people forgot that they aren't any kind of NPCs but the most intelligent AIs in the world.
"Hello, young man," the chief nodded at him, "I'm guessing you are seeking adventure, and I have just the task for you."
John nodded, "What is the task?" he asked, trying not to sound like he already went through this conversation.
The chief smiled and gestured at the map on the board that was next to him. "As you can see, our village is located near a dense forest. This forest is filled with many dangers, from wild animals to treacherous terrain. And there are those who would stop at nothing to keep the amulet from falling into the wrong hands."
John nodded. He felt that this task is not hard, especially since he already did this once, and now he has cheats as well.
"Where should I begin?" he asked, his eyes fixated on the chief.
The chief walked over to the map and pointed to the location deep in the heart of the forest. "Your journey begins here," he said. "From there, you will need to follow a series of landmarks, each more treacherous than the one before. Eventually, you will reach a clearing where the amulet is said to be hidden."
John nodded, once again, and saluted to the chief. "I understand, sir."
The chief nodded, a small smile playing at the end of his mouth. "I believe in you, young man. To give you a little help, I'm giving you this short sword. Now go, and may the spirits guide you on your journey."

As John turned away from the village chief, a mission window popped up in front of him.

"I still don't understand why I have these talents, but I'm going to make use of it."
John started wandering around the village, which was nestled in a valley with rolling hills surrounding it and the air smelled of fresh herbs and flowers. The cold breeze nipped at his face as he walked around, taking in the sights and sounds of the village.
As he wandered further into the village, John noticed an old shabby tiny house that seemed to be in a state of disrepair. The roof was damaged, and there were cracks in the walls. It looked like the house hadn't been occupied for years, and yet, there was something mysterious about it that caught his attention.
He decided to take a closer look and approached the house with curiosity.
