Chapter 0 - Prologue
Welcome to the rewrite of Minecraft and a few other fandoms' fanfiction 'Minecraft: Transmigration As The Legend Herobrine' or the name it's used to be known as 'Minecraft: Reincarnated as the myth, Herobrine'.
Before we start with the prologue, I'm going to say that there's a lot of unresolved plot lines and useless characters from the previous version of this story.
For examples: other transmigrated and reincarnated persons, the guilds, Herobrine's apprentice, Steve and Alex, the Illager King and Special mobs like those villagers.
Not only that, the power creeps are crazy, Herobrine (Vincent) was already extremely powerful meanwhile most of the players haven't even fully figured out the mechanics and iron was still seen as the most precious resource.
That's why I'll try to make the story slightly more coherent and interesting in this rewrite.

17th June 2025.
Tuesday.
6:45 a.m.
Vincent woke up.
He calmly sat on the bed.
'It's 6:45 already?' He thought while yawning.
He stood up from his bed and grabbed his towel to head to the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom he hung up his towel before taking a look at himself in the mirror.
Black-haired, fair-skinned, and average-looking young man stared back at him. He was a man of an Asian-American descent, specifically Chinese.
He stood at the height of 185 cm and weighed around only 76 kg. His build was average, not particularly big or small though his little brother on the other hand might be above average.
"Last night's gaming session was intense." He chuckled as he reminisced about the game.
Vincent Ho.
He turned 23 years old two weeks ago.
Unemployed after being fired two days ago.
A veteran gaming addict.
After he took a quick shower, he logged into his account.
'Nobody's on…' He thought, and felt disappointed.
"I wonder if she replied?" He muttered as he took a glance at his phone.
In a quick moment he took his phone and opened the dating app.
"No reply…" He muttered, disappointment riddled all over his face.
'Whatever! I'll just play Minecraft!' He thought as he booted up the game, Minecraft.
He suddenly paused.
"Ah, who am I kidding? I'll probably just build a house and then quit for another few years again…" He muttered.
It has always been that way.
The Minecraft Cycle.
You create a new world.
You do some cool stuff.
You get bored.
You never play it again for a very long time.
'But… it's better than just scrolling through social media mindlessly and reading webcomics all day…' He thought, as he hesitantly clicked on the button to create a new world.
[Loading 100%]
He finally entered the game.
It was identical to what he remembered.
He ended up in the plains biome surrounded by birch forest.
"Not a bad spawn." He said as he walked around the forest.
He began collecting wood.
Crafting them into wooden tools.
Collecting stones and ores.
Upgrading his tools.
Building a base.
All of these things seemed to bring him back to a distant past.
Without him noticing, it has already reached 9:32 p.m.
"It's already night?" He said, quite surprised.
At the same time his stomach began to growl.
'I'm hungry…' He began to stand up and walked to the kitchen.
…
"I don't have anything? Wow, I really need to stock up." He muttered as he searched around the house.
He looked at his wallet.
'Eh, I can still afford a couple of instant noodles.' He thought as he headed outside.
…
He was walking back to his home.
On his right hand was his smartphone, he was scrolling through a webcomic.
On his left hand was the instant noodles inside a plastic bag.
'Wow, I want to have a cheat system too…' He thought as he noticed a child began to run into the middle of the road while the light was red.
"Wait—!" He was about to shout at the child but a huge unstable truck began to appear.
He quickly ran and jumped forward to push the child away from the truck.
He was struck by the truck instead of the child.
'Fuck, that hurts…'
'I couldn't see anything… what will happen to me?'
'I'm scared… or am I…? I should be right?'
'I couldn't feel anything…'
His eyes were blurry but somehow at this moment he stared at the dark star-speckled sky.
It was a sight he never paid attention to for how long ago.
'Beautiful…'
That's the only word that can be used to describe how he feels about the sight before him.
Despite dying, despite the horrible pain and wetness from his own blood.
He wasn't scared.
He feels fulfilled as he enjoyed his last day playing the game he loved.
It's like reliving his life once again.
Suddenly a strange mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[Name: Vincent Ho.]
[Race: Human.]
[Age: 23 years old.]
[Status: Virgin.]
[Cause of Death: Truck.]
'What a horrible thing to say about a dying man.'
In his dying breath, Vincent Ho, the 23 years old, unemployed gamer and a virgin, heard a mechanical voice talking about him.
'I mean, sure, I know I got no game, but please at least be respectful, I'm dying here, if you want to say it please don't say it infront of my face…' He thought.
[Identity Confirmed—System has been bound to the Host.]
"Huh?" A confused sound left his mouth.
'A system? It couldn't be right, this must be a hallucination.'
[Please state your wish.]
'Wish? Is this a coping mechanism made by my brain because I read too many slop stories? Well, if it is then it's working.'
'I'll say, I quite envy that one manhwa character's ability, what was he called? Sung Jin-Woo? Yeah, I think that was him, I want to have his ability. Being able to summon shadows are cool as fuck.'
[Wish Confirmed—Acquiring the [Shadow Monarch] ability.]
'Oh! And also Jin Mori is pretty cool too, specifically the jacheon—something like sun wukong abilities, so many immortality and the ability to clone and stuff, and re-taekwondo is also extremely cool…'
[Wish Confirmed—Acquiring the [Jin Mori] template.]
'Gojo Satoru's ability is also not that bad to be honest, like infinity is one of the best defensive cursed techniques in the series and he also has great vision via six eyes… though his defensive and offensive capabilities might fall short against Accelerator's though—Ah, I couldn't choose.'
[Wish Confirmed—Acquiring the [Six Eyes] ability.]
[Wish Confirmed—Acquiring the [Limitless] ability.]
[Wish Confirmed—Acquiring the [Vector Manipulation] ability.]
'What else? Oh, I'd also love to have the ability of Sukuna, it wouldn't be the strongest but it would be a fun one. Rimuru's ability would be great if I want to grow stronger, predator is very strong and an ability that scales great. Shouldn't the great sage also complement Gojo's and Accelerator's ability? Like I wouldn't be able to calculate a fraction of what he could do in his sleep.'
[Wish Confirmed—Acquiring the [Shrine] ability.]
[Wish Confirmed—Acquiring the [Predation] ability.]
[Wish Confirmed—Acquiring the [Great Sage] ability.]
[Transmigration preparation has been completed.]
[Transmigration—start!]
In an instant, Vincent had lost his life.
