In hotel transylvania as Johnny twin brother (out of service)

Chapter 1: Transylvania Dreams: Awakening to Adventure.

---

Merlin had just finished college and was deep into the struggles of job hunting. After a month of endless searches, rejections, and no luck, he felt the weight of it all pressing down on him. Depressed and frustrated, Merlin decided to take a break, seeking comfort in one of his favorite movie series, *Hotel Transylvania*. As he watched the first film, where Johnny stumbled upon the hotel full of monsters and somehow managed to thrive, Merlin couldn't help but wish for a life just as exciting. 

"Maybe I wouldn't mind living in a world like that," Merlin thought with a sigh, his eyes growing heavy as the credits rolled. Before long, he drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up, something was... different. The room was unfamiliar. A surfboard stood propped up in the corner, and the bed was larger, more luxurious. Confused, he stumbled to the mirror, and his jaw dropped. The face staring back at him wasn't his own—it was someone he recognized.

"Wait... I'm Johnny's twin brother... Jake?" 

Memories not his own suddenly flooded in. He was Johnny's twin, and from the looks of it, Johnny had already married Mavis, the gorgeous goth vampire he'd always admired from afar. Jake smiled to himself, curiosity piqued. He had to visit them at the hotel—just to check things out, of course. 

Grabbing his phone, he called Johnny. "Hey, I'm coming over to the hotel," Jake said, excitement creeping into his voice.

"Awesome! Come on by, bro!" Johnny replied, as upbeat as ever.

Jake's real reason for the visit? He was curious about Mavis. She was always captivating, and who knows what could happen? But he had to tread carefully—vampires were notoriously loyal to their partners. As he pondered this, something strange happened. A glowing screen appeared in front of him, hovering in mid-air.

**"Eros System Activated."**

Jake blinked. "What the...?"

The system's voice echoed in his head, "Your desires can come true, but you must navigate this world wisely."

---

Jake stared at the glowing screen in disbelief, still processing what was happening. A system? Like the ones from those games and novels? He had no idea how this got here, but something told him that it might be the key to making things more interesting in this world.

"Eros System Activated."

The glowing interface shimmered before his eyes, showing him a series of options:

---

Welcome, Jake! The Eros System is here to assist you in winning hearts (and maybe a little more) through charm, wit, and careful strategy. Here are your starter options:

1. Charm Points (CP): Increase your natural charisma, making it easier to win people over. Start with +10 CP.

4. Bonus: Compliment Generator: Struggling to find the right words? Get a top-tier compliment ready to go!

---

Jake scrolled through the options, eyes wide. This was incredible! The system didn't just hand over powers; it seemed to be a relationship simulator, guiding him through the do's and don'ts of wooing someone. He decided to test it out and activated the Insight Ability.

A faint glow settled over Jake, and suddenly, he felt an intuitive sense of others' emotions. With a grin, he thought of Mavis. He wasn't going to break up her marriage or anything like that, but it couldn't hurt to see if she ever thought about him.

Just then, another message popped up.

---

New Mission: Visit Hotel Transylvania

Objective: Meet with Mavis, Johnny, and the gang. Use your new system tools to navigate interactions smoothly. Hint: A subtle compliment or two wouldn't hurt.

---

"Alright, this should be fun," Jake muttered as he prepared to head to the hotel.

---

After a short trip, Jake arrived at the towering castle that served as Hotel Transylvania. The grand, eerie exterior gave him chills, but he shook them off and stepped inside. Almost immediately, he was greeted by Johnny, who pulled him into an enthusiastic hug.

"Dude! It's been too long!" Johnny beamed, his usual goofy self.

Jake grinned back, but his eyes subtly scanned the room. And there she was—Mavis, standing near the fireplace, her dark eyes glowing, that familiar mysterious smile on her lips. She looked as captivating as ever.

The Insight Ability kicked in, and Jake felt a sudden rush of information. Mavis seemed content and happy—probably because of Johnny—but there was a hint of curiosity directed toward him. Jake couldn't help but wonder what the system had in store next.

A notification blinked in the corner of his vision.

---

New Option Unlocked: Compliment Generator

"Try something light and fun! Here's a suggestion: 'Hey Mavis, you've got that whole elegant-yet-mysterious vibe down. It's like you stepped out of a gothic dream.'"

---

Jake chuckled at the prompt. "Alright, let's see how this goes."

He walked over to Mavis and casually leaned against the wall. "Hey, Mavis."

She looked up at him, her eyes warm and welcoming. "Jake, it's good to see you! Been a while."

"Yeah, it has," Jake said, taking a deep breath. "I gotta say, you've got that whole elegant-yet-mysterious vibe down. It's like you stepped out of a gothic dream."

Mavis blinked, then chuckled, a faint blush coloring her pale cheeks. "Johnny said you were always the smooth one."

Jake grinned as the system chimed in:

---

Success! Charm Points +5. Keep it up!

---

As the evening went on, Jake used the system to navigate his conversations with ease, charming not only Mavis but the other residents of the hotel. He didn't push things too far with Mavis, respecting her relationship with Johnny, but there was something thrilling about the subtle game they were playing.

The Eros System seemed to have endless possibilities, and Jake couldn't help but wonder where this adventure would take him next.

---

Let's build up the intrigue between Jake and Mavis while keeping things light and humorous, with a touch of romantic tension. We'll play on the idea that Jake looks exactly like Johnny, but add in some subtle "ehem" moments to keep it cool.

---

As Jake wandered around the hotel, getting reacquainted with everyone, he couldn't help but notice the sideways glances he was getting. It wasn't every day Johnny's twin showed up, after all. Even the werewolves, witches, and zombies couldn't resist commenting on the resemblance.

"I could've sworn that was Johnny!" one of the witches said with a laugh.

"I bet it's like looking into a mirror, huh?" a werewolf joked as he passed by, nodding toward Mavis.

Jake shrugged it off with a smile, but the comments were everywhere. Even Johnny himself kept poking fun at how similar they were.

"Man, it's like having two of me!" Johnny joked, throwing an arm around Jake's shoulder. "Mavis, what do you think? Double the Johnny, double the fun, right?"

Mavis smiled, though her gaze lingered on Jake just a little longer than usual. "Yeah... it's kinda weird," she said, her voice soft. "But, you know, Jake's got a different vibe. It's like you two are the same, but... not."

Jake raised an eyebrow, catching the way she said that. His Insight Ability gave him a slight nudge, reading a flicker of curiosity and interest from Mavis. She wasn't used to someone so much like Johnny but... not Johnny. That spark of difference was intriguing to her.

Later that evening, as everyone gathered in the hotel lounge for drinks and conversation, Jake noticed Mavis sneaking glances at him. It wasn't in an obvious way, but the way she observed him was almost like she was comparing the two brothers in her head. The Eros System pinged softly in Jake's mind:

---

Hint: Mavis is intrigued by the similarities but also drawn to what makes you different. Keep that in mind in your next interaction.

---

Jake decided to play it cool. He didn't want to overdo it, but he could sense there was a unique opportunity here. While Johnny was off chatting with Drac and the gang, Jake made his way over to Mavis, who was leaning against the bar, her eyes flicking between him and her drink.

"Johnny's been saying some funny stuff about us being twins all night," Jake said casually, standing beside her.

Mavis chuckled, her gaze drifting up to meet his. "Yeah, it's kind of funny, but... you're not exactly the same. Johnny's more... I don't know, laid-back, goofier. You seem more... put together."

Jake smirked, leaning in just a little. "So you're saying I'm the more refined version?"

Mavis smiled, a playful glint in her eyes. "Maybe a little."

---

Eros System Update: Compliment Generator Available.

Suggestion: "I guess that makes me the one who can keep up with you, huh?"

---

Jake decided to go for it. "I guess that makes me the one who can keep up with you, huh?"

Mavis tilted her head, her lips curling into a smile. "You might be right about that," she said softly. There was a flicker of something deeper in her gaze, something curious. She wasn't being obvious, but there was no denying she was intrigued by this version of Johnny—or rather, the differences Jake had that made him stand out.

Just then, Johnny called from across the room, breaking the moment. "Hey, babe! Jake! Come over here, they're telling stories about Drac!"

Jake smiled at Mavis and gestured toward the group. "Shall we?"

Mavis nodded, but as they walked over together, she bumped her shoulder lightly against his. It was a small gesture, one that wouldn't catch anyone else's attention—but to Jake, it was a sign that her curiosity had grown.

---

As the evening wore on, Jake could feel the tension building. Mavis was clearly fascinated by how similar he was to Johnny, but at the same time, the differences between them were what really captured her attention. Jake's Insight Ability kept giving him little nudges, confirming that her interest was slowly growing, even if it was subtle.

Later, as the night was winding down and Johnny was passed out from one too many drinks, Jake found himself standing outside on the balcony, staring out at the night sky. He wasn't alone for long. Mavis soon joined him, her dark hair swaying gently in the breeze.

"You really do look exactly like him," she said softly, standing beside him. "But... you're different. I can feel it."

Jake turned to her, his gaze meeting hers. "Is that a good thing?"

Mavis smiled, looking away for a moment before meeting his eyes again. "Yeah... it is."

For a moment, there was silence between them, the cool night air wrapping around them as they stood side by side. Jake wasn't about to push things too far—he respected Mavis and her loyalty to Johnny. But he couldn't deny that there was something between them, something unspoken.

The  Eros System  chimed softly in the back of his mind:

---

Mission Complete: Mavis is intrigued. Continue building rapport slowly.

---

Jake smiled to himself. Things were just getting interesting.

---

As the two stood on the balcony, gazing out into the starry night, Mavis continued to talk about Johnny. "He's always been the type to lighten up the mood, you know? No matter how serious things get, he finds a way to make everything fun." She smiled, a nostalgic warmth in her voice. "That's what I love about him."

Jake nodded, knowing that Johnny's carefree attitude was one of the reasons everyone loved being around him. But there was still that flicker of curiosity in Mavis's eyes, something deeper that hadn't quite surfaced yet.

Trying to keep the conversation going without making things awkward, Jake asked, "So... are you guys thinking about having kids soon? Johnny's parents must be looking forward to becoming grandparents."

Mavis's smile faltered slightly, and she glanced down at the ground, her fingers playing with the edge of her sleeve. "Yeah, his parents are definitely excited about it. They've been dropping hints left and right. 'When's the little vampire coming?'" She laughed, though it sounded a little forced. "But, you know, it's... complicated."

Jake, feeling a little bolder, tilted his head. "I hope I'm not being too rude, but... have you guys, uh... done it yet?" He immediately regretted the way the question came out, but it was too late to take it back.

Mavis blinked, her cheeks flushing slightly as she turned to look at Jake. For a moment, the silence hung heavy between them, and Jake's **Insight Ability** flashed a warning—this was one of those moments where he had to tread carefully.

But to his surprise, Mavis didn't seem offended. Instead, she let out a small, awkward laugh, rubbing the back of her neck. "Uh... yeah, well... let's just say Johnny's always so busy goofing around that we haven't really had a chance to focus on that part yet."

Jake couldn't help but smile at her candid response. "That sounds like Johnny," he said, shaking his head. "Always running around, not thinking about the serious stuff."

Mavis sighed, her eyes softening. "It's not that I don't want a family. I do. It's just... Johnny and I are still figuring things out. And, well, being a vampire makes things a little more complicated. We have to time everything perfectly. The pressure from his parents doesn't help either."

Jake nodded, understanding that there was more going on beneath the surface than he'd initially realized. He decided to lighten the mood a little. "Well, if you ever need advice on wrangling Johnny, I'm here. I've had to deal with him my whole life, after all."
