《The wish granting entity and the benevolent lord!》 Is it a dream? As I am laying in bed after a long day, and I am laying in bed the clock hit 3 AM. I am just looking on my phone and I start to read a fantasy book about a girl being treated poorly by the lord, and as I am reading I fall slowly to sleep. Me: God, I wish I could be that lord and help her, and all the oppressed people! Mysterious voice: If that is truly what you want I shall grant that to you, but you shall not do any bad things with your power. A shy girl''s voice: Sir it is time to wake up! Me: What hmm, who are you? As I am opening my eyes the bed feels and looks different the covers are whiter and softer than I remember. Wait a moment who is that girl, calling me, I live alone! Is this a dream? As I open my eyes I see a girl with black hair and green eyes looking at me, she is wearing a maid outfit!! What? Yeah, this is surely a dream! Mysterious voice: It is not a dream! It is your wish! Me thinking: What is that voice I heard it somewhere, Yeah before I fell asleep last night! Mysterious voice: You died at night. Me thinking: How is that possible? Mysterious voice: Do you think that your life was that healthy all that smoking and the processed food and the fact that you also ignored your health and didn''t go to a medic, and that shady medicine that you got from that guy, to help you sleep resulted in a heart attack. I am surprised you didn''t die sooner considering your life. He is right I didn''t live the healthiest life, I started smoking when I was 15 also I did a bunch of drugs, and my daily meals consisted of 4 cups of coffee and a bowl of cereals, and maybe some eggs and cheese if I had the money because I spent most of them buying medicine to help with the pains in my body! Me thinking: But who are you, where am I?Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit. Mysterious voice: I am a wish-granting entity that grants wishes of some dying persons but I only grant pure wishes, as you wished to help people I took the liberty to reincarnate you as the lord in the novel that you were reading, and to let you create a new story! You are no more your old self you are now Lord Avner of Eldham province of The kingdom of Alryne! Avner thinking: Alright so I died and you put me into a book? But who are you? Mysterious voice: Did you already forget or are you just a dumb I wish-granting entity. Avner thinking: I understood that but do you have a name are you a god, an evil spirit, or what are you! Mysterious voice: I am neither a god nor the devil I just grant dying wishes, as for my name I will let you call me as you see fit. Avner thinking: Ok so I can name you. Hmmm I will call you Silva from the roman god Silvanus! Silva: If you consider this name fit for me I shall allow it! And you better wake up because that maid is quite scared. After all, you have been looking at the ceiling and didn''t say anything! As I move my eyes I look again at the maid who is quite scared right now because I haven''t said anything. Maid: I apologize my lord but your breakfast is almost ready I am extremely sorry to wake you up. Avner: Breakfast hmm that sounds nice can you please I will come out soon can you please leave the room as I change. Maid shocked: Change yourself, my lord, do you not want me to help you change? Avner: No I don''t need your help, what was your name? Maid: My name is Olivia, my lord. Avner: Alright Olivia you can leave now and make sure the breakfast table is prepared. Olivia: Certainly my lord. What a nice maid, I can''t believe I have been sent to a book, it feels strange being in another person''s body, and the goodness I need to lose some weight, it seems Avner enjoyed its food, my goddess and these clothes, why so many why are they so frilly and puffed doesn''t he have some more simple clothes, but I guess simpler clothes wouldn''t look that good considering my size. Alright I guess I should head to breakfast I wouldn''t want that girl to worry more about me, I cant wait to see what I am going to have for breakfast I hope for a light one maybe some fruits. Silva: I wouldn''t say you are going to have a light breakfast! Avner: What do you mean by th...at! A “healthy” breakfast! Avner: What do you mean by th...at! As I looked at the table it didn''t look like breakfast there was almost a whole pig, a roasted chicken, and a beef steak with a carafe full of wine, I felt like I would vomit thinking that this is the type of breakfast Avner ate no wonder the clothes he wears. As I sit at the table I signal the maid. Olivia: What is it my lord is there something not to your liking? Avner: Yeah can you bring me some fruits and something light like some cookies and some tea? Olivia: Sir do you dislike the food? Avner: I feel it is too much for me to eat for breakfast even for lunch or dinner I think it''s too much, I would like something light. Olivia: Certainly sir I will dispose of the food immediately, and I will ask the kitchen staff to prepare some tea and cookies. Avner: Don''t throw out the food share it with the other maids and staff and if there is food left give it to an orphanage or the poor people!The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. Olivia stunned: I understand my lord! And so Olivia started clearing the table and pooting the food on a cart and wheeled it away! Kitchen staff: Oh my... Did the lord dislike the food? Olivia: You could say that he said it''s too much and that he would like something lighter like some fruits, cookies, and some tea for breakfast. Iwan the head chef: The lord wants something lighter for breakfast? There has to be something here I bet he is thinking that we will bring out just a plate of cookies and a basket of fruit! Girls prepare 10 cake trays and 5 baskets of the finest fruits. Kitchen staff: Underwood, immediately we will prepare them! Olivia: I dont think we should bring him so much food after all he asked for a light breakfast and he refused the food that was brought out. Maria: Olivia when have you seen Lord Avner eat a light breakfast, a light breakfast for him is a full breakfast for 5 people. And besides, dont you remember how he yelled at you the night prior for not bringing the food fast enough? Olivia thinking: How could I forget the whipped me and he almost threw me in the dungeon, for being slow when he ordered more food. A sad night! Olivia: Please my lord, I am sorry for being slow it wont happen again please stop! Avner: You filthy peasant, when I say something you do it right then I asked you to bring me more steak right away but it took you 5 minutes to bring the food to the table. You made me look bad in front of my guests. You unsightly being, maybe I should send you to the dungeon so that you will learn your lesson. Olivia: My lord I implore you, not the dungeon! Guard: My lord, sir Mason was looking for you. Avner: Mason? What does he want, I am busy disciplining this filthy maid. Guard: Sir he said he wants to talk to you about your villa. Avner: Ahh some good news, I should go right away. You! Maid! Get out now I dont want to see you for the rest of the night!If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Maria: My goodness Olivia what happened to you, why do you have those bruises? Olivia crying: I was slow to bring the lord his food and he punished me. Maria hugged Olivia and she started to clean her wounds. Maria: Dont cry Olivia, thats how that fat pig is, he is going to get what he deserves when the time comes. The morning after the banquet maid Olivia prepared the breakfast table. Christina: Olivia go wake up lord Avner, and escort him to breakfast, make sure to do everything he asks you wouldnt want to anger him again. Christina is the head maid of the estate she is responsible for the training and management of the staff also helps with the bureaucracy! Olivia: Yes miss! After the lord ordered Olivia to clean up the table and bring him something lighter for breakfast she was thinking. Olivia thinking: Why does the lord want a lighter breakfast, and its not like him to order me to distribute the food to the staff and the poor he would usually give the scraps to the hounds rather than the poor. Maybe he is ill or I cant explain this, but first I need to bring him breakfast I cant afford to be slow again! Starting a diet! Avner: I don''t know how he could eat that much for breakfast who the hell eats a whole pig and roasted chicken no wonder he got so fat. Alright after breakfast I am going to do some exercise. Man, I wish I had my coffee machine right now I would like an espresso right about now, and a donut and a cigarette to start the morning that is how I started almost every morning in my past life. Ok, rarely do I eat in the morning. Silva: You know smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee is not good for you that is why you died, smoking and drinking coffee. Avner: Yeah I know, I wanted to quit a bunch of times but I couldnt. Silva: You were addicted your body couldn''t function without nicotine but now you have a new body and you aren''t addicted to cigarettes anymore. You can see this as a new start, enjoy it and become your best self, but don''t forget I gave you a second chance so that you can help others! Avner: I am grateful for giving me this opportunity but what are . Olivia: Sir I brought your breakfast, hope it''s to your liking! Avner: I didn''t even see her coming I was daydreaming while talking with Silva I have to ask him later that, right now I should eat something and I need to exercise! Avner: Thank you, Olivia! As Avner looked at the cart she brought he saw a beautiful decorated pastry and cookie tower a platter of cut fruits in different shapes! Avner: Olivia what''s this is someone else having breakfast with me? Olivia: No sir this is just for you, is it not to your liking? Avner: Olivia it''s too much let me show you how much you should have brought me! Avner grabbed a plate and put on it 2 apples and 3 cookies he poured himself a cup of tea and sat back at the table. Avner: This is how much I wanted I also don''t want my fruit cut. Please make sure the food doesn''t go to waste I want you to prepare a basket with some pastries and cookies, and give them to the guard''s captain, and can you tell him that I will go to the barracks to have a chat with him, and the fruits if possible preserve them to make some jam or some tarts and give them to the church so that they distribute them to the people in need. And please make sure to respect my orders this time!Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. Olivia: Understood sir, I will talk to Iwan so that he will prepare the fruits, and I will prepare the basket for the captain right away. Olivia was so shocked by the orders and just went to the kitchen right back where the staff was waiting, they heard Avner raising his voice a little but they don''t know why. Iwan: Was something not to his liking, why did he send you back with the food, I heard his voice, what did he say? Olivia: He wants you to prepare the fruits so that they don''t spoil, we will give them to the church so that they can distribute them to the people in need, also I need to prepare a basket of cookies and pastries for the captain of the guards, and tell him that the lord will come to see him in the barracks! Everyone was shocked they stood there not saying anything. Maria: Did somebody kill that fatso and took his place, what is happening? Iwan: Nobody is as fat as him nobody is like him. Maybe he hit his head hard when he fell at the last banquet. Maria: Hopefully he will stay like this, maybe God listened to our prayers! Christina: What are you staying here just talking Lord Avner gave you orders you should not question his orders, Olivia prepare that basket and go give it to Roland and tell him to have his men clean, I doubt he would like Lord Avner to see the barracks dirty! Iwan prepare some pies and get all the food from this breakfast and put it in a cart Maria go get the coachman and tell him to prepare the horses and a cart also to get some guards, we need to make sure the food reaches the church fast and that it will be given to the peasants. Everyone: Yes mam, right away! Everyone got to work, and didn''t even ask a question, everyone is there because miss Christina helped them because she is the closest to Lord Avner she can hire or fire anyone on the staff, she helped Iwan when he prepared a bad dinner for him and didn''t cook the food as he would have liked. Miss Christina, appealed to Lord Avner to let Iwan cook one more dish for him and if it was to his liking maybe he can ignore this mishap, but without Lord Avner knowing Christina gave Iwan the recipe to Lord Avner''s favorite dish, game steak with lots of red wine sauce and freshly baked white bread, and so Iwan kept his position. Christina: Olivia if you finished the basket go and give it to Roland fast, everyone else faster we need to finish this fast soon we need to prepare lunch! Avner: Oh look it''s Olivia with the basket I should go after her, after all, I don''t know exactly where the barracks are! I will eat this last cookie as I walk there! The cookies and the barracks! Olivia: I need to get this to Roland fast hopefully the barracks aren''t that dirty, Lord Avner seems to be in a good mood I wouldn''t want to spoil his mood. Avner: My goodness she is almost running to the barracks maybe she had other things to do and now I ordered her to go to the barracks, I should have brought the basket myself, I''ll give her the rest of the day off as gratitude, after all, I should start to treat everyone better they are not robots! Guard: What is a maid like you doing here are you here to see us beautiful? Olivia: I don''t have time to talk is Roland in his office? Guard: Miss wants to talk with Roland, why don''t you hang out with me? Olivia: I don''t have time for small chat, neither you. You should clean this filthy place fast! Guard: Why should I listen to you miss. Olivia: Lord Avner is coming here to talk to Roland you wouldn''t want him to see this place dirty, also these are orders from miss Christina! Guard: You are kidding? Right? Olivia: No, you should start! With that Olivia entered the barracks to go to Roland''s office, the guard ran fast to tell his colleagues so that they can clean the sleeping quarters also they had their banquet when the lord had his, and there are quite a lot of bottles of alcohol that shouldn''t be there! Olivia: Roland I brought you something! As Olivia entered the room Roland was so surprised he almost dropped ink on some documents! Roland: Olivia what the hell what are you doing here what''s that? Olivia: Cookies and some fruit pastries! Roland: Cookies? Pastries? What? Why? Olivia: Lord Avner told me to bring this to you, also he will be coming here, he says he wants to talk with you! Roland: Ahhh ok so Lord Avner sent this to and he is coming here! Wait a minute he is coming here? Oh god did he learn about the alcohol oh my god I should tell the guys to hide it, the only time I allow my soldiers to drink is the time Lord Avner comes to the barracks! God, why are you so cruel!Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. In the meantime! Avner: I think this is the barracks, the guard''s captain''s office should be somewhere inside here I will ask a guard, maybe I can ask a soldier for the captain''s name also! As Avner enters the barracks he sees a hallway with a door to the right and he hears some shouting inside so he goes there! Guard: Come on guys we need to move fast we don''t know when he will arrive! Avner: What is happening here? Guard: What does it look like we arrreeee As the soldier was turning he saw who asked the question it was the lord! Guard: Lord Avner we are cleaning we are doing the monthly cleaning! Avner: Good, continue what are you doing. Can you tell me where is the captain? Guard: Sir Roland yes he is in his office at the end of the hallway! Avner: Thank you, also what is your name guard? Guard: My name is Gill, my Lord! Avner: Thank you Gill you may continue with the cleaning! And so Lord Avner met with the guards for the first time since the change, after he left the room Gill stood there shocked! Gill: What just happened, why did he ask me for my name. Other guards: Do you think he will punish us? Gill: Hopefully not, he didn''t look that angry! Other guards: Then what business does he have here and also he asked for your name when did you see Lord Avner ask for somebodies name? Gill: When he was about to punish someebooody. Other guards: Yeah when he punishes people, and he asked for your name! And with that Gill fell to the floor thinking what he will do maybe if he waited for Lord Avner and begged him he will at least be lenient with him! Avner almost reached Roland''s door, but BOOM! He just felt the wooden door hit him in the nose! Roland: What the hell was that?!! Lord Avner! I am sorry! Roland: I am dead that was it I just his the lord this is the death penalty! Why God! Avner: Ouch ahh it hurt! Roland: I am sorry my Lord! Please! Please forgive me! Roland got on his knees and started crying! Avner: Are you, Roland! Roland: Yes my Lord! Avner: Get up, and don''t cry it''s nothing that bad! Olivia: My goodness Lord Avner let me help you, let me clean your nose! Avner: Don''t worry Olivia it''s not that bad it''s not bleeding! Did you give sir Roland his basket! Olivia: Yes my lord! Avner: Good work Olivia, you may leave. Also, you can take the rest of the day off! Roland let''s go into your office to talk! Roland: Yes my Lord! The chat! As Lord Avner and captain Roland enter the office Olivia slowly leaves the barracks, she doesn''t know what to think about the change in the lord. Olivia: I dont understand, he just gave me the rest of the day free, I don''t know of anybody getting a free day, what should I do? I will go to my room and wait for Maria and miss Christina. Maybe he changed. No that is not possible, but . stranger things happened, it says that God works in mysterious ways, maybe he showed the lord the propper road. Who am I kidding its impossible for such a pig and trash of a human being to change! In the meantime, Lord Avner was having a chat with Roland, but the captain was taken by surprise. Roland: My lord, are you asking me to train you? Avner: Yes is there a problem, if you are occupied you can just give me some short instructions on how to use a sword, I think I can manage to do a training routine. Roland: Sir if I am not too brazen, why do you wish to train with the sword, and especially why do you wish to train physically? Avner: I have been thinking and it is not a good image for the lord of a domain not to know how to handle a sword, also my physique can use some improvements. Avner: I can''t exactly say that I hate to be fat, I wasn''t exactly fit in my previous life but I could at least run for a while without breaking out in sweat immediately, this body is too unhealthy! Roland: My lord if that is your wish, I will personally train you, when would my lord like to start the training? Avner: I am glad you can train me, if possible I would like to start today before lunch, I am going to change into something more proper for training, and I shall meet you in the courtyard! Roland: Certainly my lord, I will be waiting for you there!The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. And so Avner now has an instructor to help him lose weight and also to train him in the art of swordsmanship! Lord Avner left the barracks in haste so that he will not make Roland wait too long for him, a short while after Avner left the guard''s grounds Avner left his office: Roland: Gill! Sebastian! Come here right now! As soon as he left his office he shouted for two guards, them expecting something else when they heard their name, they kneeled and started begging! Gill, Sebastian: Please captain we don''t want to be punished please! Captain don''t be harsh, we didn''t do anything wrong! The two men started crying like children, wrongly thinking that captain Roland was about to punish them! Roland: What the hell are you two talking about, get up now, you are not going to be punished where did you get that stupid idea? Gill: Sir but lord Avner came in and saw our quarters and even asked for my name, why would he do that, I expected to be punished for the alcohol and the mess. Roland: I don''t know why the hell he asked for your name, but for sure it wasn''t to punish you. Gill: So why did lord Avner come here to talk to you, sir? Roland: He sent me some cookies and pastries, I was about to tell you guys to share them with the other men after lunch. And also prepare two training swords and some dummies in the courtyard of the mansion! Sebastian: Why is that sir are we going to train there? Roland: Not you two, I will train Lord Avner! Gill, Sebastian: Training Lord Avner!!??? Roland: Yeah, I don''t get it myself but that is why he came here, to ask me personally to train him. Sebastian: Why would he do that sir? Gill: Maybe he wants to impress a girl! Sebastian: Who would ever look at a rotten guy like him! Roland: Silence!! He may not be the best person, but he is our Lord, he pays us, and we need to respect his orders, and he asked me to train him, and so I am going to train him! So shut it and get to work get those sword and training dummies in the courtyard, I was expecting them yesterday! Gill, Sebastian: Yes sir captain! And so the two men ran to the storage to prepare the courtyard they didn''t want to anger the captain anymore, they had more questions, but so did the captain, he just hoped that Avner will tell him more about why he wanted to train! The training! Avner went as fast as he could to his room to change, he searched for some clothes that would work for the training the only ones that would fit and wouldnt look strange were the hunting clothes used by the lords in the hunting trips they do, not that they do any hunting they just shoot animals that thir attendants trapped or snarred for them, and for the most time they drink. Avner: These will work for now but I have to get a tailor to make me some clothes that would work for training, these are a little too much, but I have to get going now. Avner left his quarters and got to the garden as fast as possible because he didnt want to make Roland wait, but Roland was already there he had Sebastian and Gill setup a small trining ground for you! Roland: Lord may I say those clothes look beautiful! Avner: You say? They are a little too much for me, but thank you. Roland: Its my pleasure to be your trainer today Sir? Avner: The pleasure is mine, I am ready Roland! Roland: My lord I brought the swords and the dummies! Avner: Excellent! So where do we start? Roland: First we need to warm up, so we will do some stretching exercises. Avner: Ok! After the stretching exercises. Roland: Now we will start with the basics of swordsmanship, we will start with the grip, there are three ways to grip a sword, one is the standard grip, the other is the reverse grip, and the third is the half-reverse grip. Avner: Ok so how do I grip the sword? Roland: For the standard grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade, and for the reverse grip you need to do the opposite you hold the sword in your left hand and put your right hand on the back of the blade.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Avner: Ok so for the half-reverse grip? Roland: For the half-reverse grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade but reverse the grip so that the blade is pointing downwards. Avner: Ok so now what? Roland: Now we need to practice some swings, so that you can get used to the weight of the sword. Avner: Ok so how do I swing the sword? Roland: For the standard grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade, and for the reverse grip you need to do the opposite you hold the sword in your left hand and put your right hand on the back of the blade. Avner: Ok so for the half-reverse grip? Roland: For the half-reverse grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade but reverse the grip so that the blade is pointing downwards. Avner: Ok so now what? Roland: Now we need to practice some swings, so that you can get used to the weight of the sword. Avner: Ok so how do I swing the sword? Roland: For the standard grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade, and for the reverse grip you need to do the opposite you hold the sword in your left hand and put your right hand on the back of the blade. Avner: Ok so for the half-reverse grip? Roland: For the half-reverse grip you need to hold the sword in your right hand and put your left hand on the back of the blade but reverse the grip so that the blade is pointing downwards. Avner: Ok so now what? Roland: Now we need to practice some swings, so that you can get used to the weight of the sword. Avner: Ok so how do I swing the sword? Roland: You need to start with the basic swings, the horizontal swing, the vertical swing, and the diagonal swing. Avner: Ok so how do I do that? Roland: For the horizontal swing, you need to hold the sword in your right hand and swing it from right to left, and for the vertical swing, you need to hold the sword in your right hand and swing it from top to bottom. And so they trained, and slowly a crowd built up looking at their lord exercising, they can''t believe that their grumpy lord trains and is polite with an attendant.In the meantime Christina and Maria reached the church and the guards started unloading the lords gifts for the poor.
