【Game Master: S-Rank Talent/Lv-, Talent Skill, Active Skill. This is the materialization product of your personal specialized talent as a master of numerous games.
Every time you enter a Brand New Instance, the Mind Palace constructed deep within your brain from vast electronic game memories enters an automatic retrieval state, randomly selecting a relatively suitable game character based on the current situation, temporarily loading it onto you in the form of various "Character Templates" to assist in clearing the Instance.
A "Character Template" is like a character status （BUFF） that cannot be dispelled, which can be actively loaded or unloaded according to one's needs. Both loading and unloading actions have a Cooldown Time, and under normal circumstances, the Character Template can perfectly stack with the Player's current status.
Character Templates can be divided into three major categories and three derivative forms—
"Protagonist Template," "Supporting Character Template," and "Villain Template"; "Native Type," "Reinforced Type," and "Perfect Type."
Protagonist Template: The core center position of the Game Blueprint, the absolute protagonist.
Supporting Character Template: Protagonist Faction Teammates, story NPCs, neutral units, etc.
Villain Template: Enemy Faction Grunts, Elites, BOSSes, etc.
Native Type: Highly reproduces the character's original setting, inheriting corresponding weaknesses while gaining the relevant combat power.
Reinforced Type: Gains the relevant combat power but discards the original setting's weaknesses.
Perfect Type: Enhances in all aspects while erasing the original setting's weaknesses.
The Game Master will automatically adapt a suitable Template and Form based on your current physical condition, Instance difficulty, and capacity limit.
Each Dungeon Blueprint can only trigger the "Game Master" effect once. When entering a Brand New Blueprint Instance, you can only use the new Character Template corresponding to that Instance, and this Character Template cannot be used in Regions outside of that corresponding Instance.
When you clear the current Instance while under the effect of a loaded Character Template by achieving certain specific conditions or a high mission completion rating, some abilities/characteristics of the temporary Character Template will become permanent in the form of "Extra Skills," "Special Equipment," or "Carried Accessories," which can then be used normally in other Regions. 】
【Additional Evaluation: Wonderful! It's the Game Master! We are saved! 】
Just as Green Skin left and the entire Demon World Village officially began spawning Monsters, Cheng Tian also officially triggered his 『Game Master』 Talent Skill.
And the Game Master, from the vast pool of selectable Templates, selected this Vampire Hunter who is irreconcilable with the Heretical Demons and has a generational entanglement with the Vampire Count.
The whip in Cheng Tian's hand, named "Vampire Killer," is the holy relic of the Belmont Family used for exorcism.
Cheng Tian, naturally, did not know how to wield a Weapon that could already be categorized as a surprise attack, but the moment he grasped the handle of the long whip, his body automatically provided the answer.
Cheng Tian, who usually struggled even swinging a belt without hitting himself, perfectly executed his first-ever whip strike, breaking the neck of the Zombie pouncing on One-Ear in a single blow.
If one were to observe the Zombie's severed neck at this moment, they would find traces resembling intense burning there.
And this was precisely the holy power attached to the Vampire Killer whip!
Not only that, starting from the neck wound, the holy power rapidly spread across the Zombie's remains, and within just a few breaths, the Zombie turned to ash and vanished.
When Cheng Tian spun around and shattered a Red-eyed Crow with a whip strike, returning his gaze, he saw a small Heart-shaped object floating and free-falling above the chest of One-Ear, who was covered in Zombie ash.
Both the whip in his hand and this falling little Red Heart were directly related to the "Vampire Hunter" Template he currently had loaded.
【Vampire Hunter: Native-level Protagonist Template, the Dungeon Blueprint is the first-generation protagonist of 《Castlevania》, "Simon Belmont." The earliest member of the Belmont Family to appear in Players' sight, skilled in wielding the ancestral demon-exterminating holy relic "Vampire Killer," dedicating his entire life to eliminating the Heretical Demons led by the "Vampire Count Dracula."
When you choose to load the "Vampire Hunter" Template—
You will synchronously obtain the Template Exclusive Armament "Demon Breaking Whip Vampire Killer."
You will synchronously obtain the Template Exclusive Skills 『Soul Salvation』, 『Holy Relic Control』, 『Hit Dodge』, and 『Dissolves in Water』.
The loading and unloading of this Character Template have a Cooldown Time of 15 minutes. 】
【Demon Breaking Whip Vampire Killer: Long Whip, Template Armament. Equipment Requirement: Vampire Hunter/Belmont Family Bloodline. Weapon Damage 1-1. Durability -/-.
The holy relic of the Belmont Family used for exorcism, possessing the potential to be further Reinforced.
When attacking an Evil Organism or Dark Organism, every successful attack deals an additional 10 points of Holy damage.
When attacking a "Vampire," the Holy damage inflicted is doubled, and any healing ability used by the target is reduced by 50% for 5 seconds. Successful attacks refresh the duration. 】
Template Armaments can stack with the effects of the Player's currently held Equipment, and the closer the Equipment Type, the better the stacking effect. 】
【Soul Salvation: Template Skill, Passive Skill. As the Vampire Hunter eliminates Monsters, they also purify the influence of evil Dark Magic Power, thereby saving the Soul of the Innocent, and the Soul of the Innocent will reciprocate by providing some assistance to the Vampire Hunter.
When you Kill any Evil or Dark-type Monster or destroy a Candle Holder or Torch, there is a high probability of dropping 1 Heart-shaped "Soul of the Innocent Small （1 point）" or "Soul of the Innocent Large （5 points）."
The "Soul of the Innocent" can replenish the remaining quantity of consumed Throwing Objects, can serve as Spellcasting Material for certain Spells, and can substitute MP as Spellcasting Consumption. 】
Zombies are naturally evil, but they are all resurrected by the Demon King's Evil Magic Power; in their previous lives, the vast majority were just ordinary people who didn't need to distinguish between good and evil.
The entire Belmont Family indeed adopts a kill-on-sight attitude towards almost all Monsters, but this does not prevent them from taking the opportunity to purify the Monsters and attempt to save the Soul of the Innocent.
And the saved Souls will basically choose to help the Vampire Hunter in their own way; viewed from another angle, these Souls are essentially seeking revenge.
By assisting Simon and the others in killing Monsters, the Innocents can ascend peacefully.
Only Death is the only Redemption for Evil Monsters!
Cheng Tian strode forward quickly; a gust of wind swept past One-Ear, blowing away the Zombie ash on him while also collecting his own Soul of the Innocent.
Directly beside Cheng Tian's Health Bar and Mana Bar, an "01" indicator appeared to represent the storage points for the Soul of the Innocent.
One-Ear was still shaken, but the strong tug on his wrist pulled him directly up from the ground.
"Are you dead?"
Hearing this question, One-Ear instinctively shook his head; the stinging pain from the side where his ear was missing made his body involuntarily flinch.
"If you're not dead, keep swinging. Killing one is breaking even; killing two is pure profit."
The Blank Slate Hand Axe that had fallen to the ground was stuffed back into One-Ear's hand.
After finishing this, Cheng Tian twisted his hip and swung fiercely, and the sound of cracking whips rang out again.
One-Ear's expression rapidly shifted from bewilderment and Panic to realization and anger, and then, from the direction of the back of Cheng Tian's head came One-Ear's heartfelt roar, along with the sound of him chopping at Zombies like hacking at pork ribs.
