Due to an accidental encounter with a low-dimensional "horror game," he is given the cheat code of "NPC affinity": he can instantly distinguish whether an NPC in a dungeon is alive or dead, and can earn horror points through both scaring NPCs and viewers, essentially making him a "professional player entering a newbie village," effortlessly crushing everything in his path.
