The Twilight Gamer

Hours passed, and Jack continued to delve into dungeon after dungeon, his strength growing at unimaginable speeds compared to anyone else.

His system was a broken ability in the truest sense, he had no need to seek out dangerous encounters to further his abilities, and he had no need to form a strategy and fight a dangerous fight against a Baron, all he needed to do was to level up.

Finally, in the early hours of the morning, Jack stopped his rampage on the ghouls.

[ Ding! ]

[ User has gained a new title. ]

[ Ghoul Reaper ]

[ Ding! ]

[ The user has gained 8 Levels ]

'Status menu' Jack thought and a new screen appeared in front of his sight almost immediately.

'Time to increase my next stat.' Jack thought, he needed to increase his speed of completing the dungeons and thus he decided to spend all of his status points.

[ Status ]

[ Name: Jack Sparrow ]

[ Race: Vampire ]

[ Age: 17 ]

[ S.P.E.C.I.A.L ]

[ Strength: 5 ] [ 0/100 ]

[ Perception: 5 ] [ 0/100 ]

[ Endurance: 5 ] [ 0/100 ]

[ Charisma: 4 ] [ 0/200 ]

[ Intelligence: 10 ] [ MAX ]

[ Agility: 6 ] [ 0/200 ]

[ Luck: 10 ] [ MAX ]

[ Shop Coins: 214 ]

[ Status Points: 130 ]

[ Perk Tickets: 5 ]

'Which would help me the most right now? It's definitely Agility however I don't have enough points to bring it up further, even if I reach level one hundred and fifty, I won't have enough, I would be short ten points.' Jack thought before looking at the rest of his stats.

'My endurance at least physically is weaker than a cold one though that is counteracted by having immense regeneration speeds, would increasing endurance also raise that?' Jack thought before nodding his head to himself and deciding to try it out.

Both Strength and Endurance had around the same importance levels in Jack's eyes, however, regeneration did hold a greater effect than both in Jack's eyes.

[ Endurance: 5 ] [ 100/100 ] [ Ascend ]

Clicking Ascend, Jack saw Endurance rise up to level six.

He didn't notice any outward changes though he felt a warm current pass through his body once he did the Ascension, it quickly disappeared and he returned to normal, however.

'Guess there is only one way to find out.' Jack thought as he rolled up his sleeve and using his nails, he scratched at his arm just like he had done when he had first evolved into a vampire.

He found that though he used the same strength, the sight in front of him was nowhere near as gruesome as before.

If back then he had almost completely ripped his arm off with the same amount of force, now he had caused a deep scratch however the arm still remained stable.

His focus was concentrated on the regeneration, however.

And he was pleasantly surprised.

The speed of his regeneration had increased visibly as his deep scratch disappeared in less than two seconds whilst it would have at least taken four before.

This was almost a double increase in regenerative prowess.

'Special stats aren't a one plus one equals two increase, they are more similar to a multiplicative increase in a sense though that too isn't exactly right.' Jack thought as he analyzed the increase, he only needed a few more increases and he would be able to create a formula that would tell him the exact increase that each Special stat gave him.

'I need to see what a stat at level seven is and the increase between that, then using the data I've gathered I could create a reasonably accurate prediction formula.' Jack thought before nodding his head and unrolling his sleeve.

Standing up from his position on the bed, Jack walked to the door, unlocked it, and walked outside of the suite.

John and Lucy were standing on guard at his door and Jack could hear the others rummaging or talking in the rooms near his.

"Uhm hello," John said as he raised his arm in a little wave.

It seemed the man had lost a portion of his fear though he still was very afraid of Jack, at least now he didn't look like he would drop dead from his gaze.

"Hello, I simply wanted to inform everyone of something, I forgot to do it yesterday. Come here." Jack said as he turned his gaze to the rooms around the hallway.

Merely a second later, all five of his so-called slaves arrived to stand in front of him.

"I don't know exactly the restrictions placed upon you, you're clearly vampires as am I however your strength is much weaker, so I don't know if you will burn in the sun or merely experience mild pain like I do," Jack said before looking at the singular window on the other side of the hallway from which sunlight was streaming inside.

"We haven't dared to try as well sir," Lucy answered as she looked at the ground, not daring to meet Jack's gaze.

"Alright, then let's try right now," Jack said with a nod before walking to the window and covering most of the sunlight with his body, leaving only a small beam of it to come inside the hall.

"Who wants to give it a try first?" Jack asked as he looked at the group.

It was Jasmine who walked to the front first.

She walked slowly before she stood merely a meter away from the sunlight.

"Don't worry if something happens then I'll save you," Jack said as he tried encouraging his slave.

Jasmine turned to look at him for a split second before nodding her head and pushing her arm into the sunlight.

As soon as she did, her face scrunched up in pain and she removed it instantly.

Jack nodded his head before walking to her and grabbing her arm.

Looking at the skin, he found no signs of burning or anything similar.

'They just experience even more pain than I do or maybe it's the same but my high intelligence stat manages to block off most of it whilst still maintaining a little so that I know I'm actually in pain and something is happening.' Jack quickly analyzed before nodding his head and walking to his room.

"You won't die in the sun, it's just pain but if you're reacting like that then it must not be pleasant," Jack said before arriving in front of the Suite door once more.

"I'll be going inside and sleeping again, Don't disturb me unless something happens, in that case, come inside and wait for thirty minutes in the room without touching me," Jack said before walking inside and heading to his bed once more.

It was time to resume the grind, he could use the perk tickets right now however he decided not to, he simply had to gain one more to get his first mythical rank perk.

At that moment, a thought crossed his mind. It was a daring thought however Jack wanted to gamble.

His Luck was maxed out after all.

'Can I sell a perk or a skill?' Jack wondered before opening the sell menu of the system.

'Sell Skill' Jack thought and a pop-up appeared before him.

[ Select Skill ]

[ Select ] [ Cancel ]

Clicking Cancel, for now, Jack tried something else.

'Sell Title'

[ Select Title ]

[ Select ] [ Cancel ]

Pressing Select, Jack quickly picked the Kidnapped title and clicked ok.

[ Kidnapped Title ]

[ Sell ] [ 100 Shop Coins / 1 Ticket / 10 Status Points ] [ Info ]

( A/N It's one of the options, not all of them. He can only pick 100 coins, a ticket, or the stats. )

Clicking info, Jack quickly realized the reason as to why the title could be sold for so much.

[ Any title sold will forever be locked and the user won't be able to gain it a second time. ]
