Noah's mind raced as he took in his surroundings. This wasn't his world—this wasn't even his body. Panic surged through him, and he quickly demanded, "System, am I still on Earth?"
The system's voice echoed in his mind, calm and mechanical. **Yes and no. This is an alternate universe, but it is still Earth—just not your Earth.**
Noah gasped, his hands trembling as he examined his new body. "How is this even possible?! Is this... my body?" He quickly realized it wasn't. The hands he was staring at were unfamiliar, stronger, and more defined than his frail, sickly frame had ever been.
The system explained, **You are in the Vampire Diaries Universe, intertwined with the Supernatural Universe. You now inhabit the body of a minor character—a vampire who preyed on Elena Gilbert because she resembles Katherine Pierce. His name was Noah. If you recall the series, you know how he met his end: tortured and killed by the Salvatore brothers.**
Noah's eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, wait, wait—what are you saying? Elena Gilbert? The Salvatore brothers? I'm in the *Vampire Diaries* universe? And you're telling me I'm a vampire now?"
The system responded, **Technically, you are in both the Vampire Diaries and Supernatural universes. And no, you are not a vampire, but you possess their perks—enhanced strength, speed, and senses—except for compulsion.**
Noah took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm of emotions raging inside him. Once he had steadied himself, he asked, "System, open my skills list."
The system complied, and a translucent panel appeared before him:
---
**SKILLS:**
**ANALYSIS:** This skill allows the host to scan for information on supernatural objects, beings, or entities.
---
"That's it?" Noah asked, raising an eyebrow. The system remained silent, ignoring his question. Frustrated, he commanded, "Open the shop."
The shop interface materialized, displaying a variety of items: skills, vervain, wolfsbane, and other substances poisonous to supernatural beings. Noah's eyes were drawn to a blinking red envelope in the top right corner. He tapped it, and a notification appeared:
---
**Congratulations!**
You have obtained:
- 10,000 EXP
- 1,000 SP
- Awakened Unique Power: **SUPERNATURAL SEAL**
---
Noah's frustration melted into excitement. "Sweet, free stuff! But what's this unique power?" he asked.
The system replied, **Unique powers are latent abilities awakened in supernatural beings. Every supernatural entity possesses a unique power—it's what defines them.**
The system then provided more details:
---
**UNIQUE POWER:**
**SUPERNATURAL SEAL:**
- Grants the host complete immunity to mind control, compulsion, demonic possession, angelic possession, and spirit possession.
- Allows the host to mimic or transform into any supernatural being of choice (e.g., werewolves, demons, heretics, witches) and utilize their powers.
---
As the panel updated, another notification appeared:
---
**Due to awakening the unique power: SUPERNATURAL SEAL, you have unlocked a new stat: Magic Power.**
---
Noah stared at the screen, a mix of awe and determination filling him. This was his chance—a new life, a new world, and powers beyond his imagination. But before he could delve deeper into his newfound abilities, the system interrupted.
**Host Noah, you must now choose a last name. This will solidify your identity in this universe. Please input your desired surname.**
Noah blinked. "A last name? Uh... let's go with... Blackwood. Noah Blackwood."
**Name confirmed: Noah Blackwood.** The system's tone was final, and Noah felt a strange sense of permanence settle over him. He was no longer just Noah—he was Noah Blackwood, a name that would now define him in this dangerous new world.
