A really short chapter this time only to set some things straight. Firstly, I am not abandoning my stories. It''s just getting really hard to find a break from my routine. Like all of my other stories, I am writing some drafts in advance, but I will only be posting a following chapter after updating all the other fics. Secondly, hope you are enjoying my gaming system and my MCs adventures in the world of ASOIAF. Durrandon is about to reach level 20 among some of his stats and discover some new perks that will keep the story somewhat fresh. Fair warning about my intentions to the future of this story. (AKA: some mild spoilers) Durrandon will amass power and gain influence, but I don''t plan to make him stuck as someone only giving orders as prince (or as king). So don''t expect him marrying because of politics (or for any other matter as well). He considers himself a free agent. Sorry if you dislike the Lannisters, but the MC will be very bias towards them. Technically. I''m working on how to make my OCs contribute with the story. Exemple of this would be saying that Rhaenys will be a mix of Arya and Daenerys; While Alysse would be a mixture between Sansa and Margaery. Magic is still something I''m threading carefully. Westeros would eventually be uplifted as an empire, but not through modern science alone. I really wish to avoid the plot point, that in my opinion kills a lot of ASOIAF fics, that is the long night. If you wish to know what my ideas are, you just have to ask. Thanks for your attention. If you wish to talk with me about my story, you are more than welcome to join this story''s discord channel. There I can share with you some images that might help me illustrate my depiction of this story. discord.gg/b3MBKzB Ps:.. Sorry if I''m not thanking you enough for your help. It''s just really hard listing everyone of my amazing readers Chapter -3 - Prologue *Pilot chapter This story is set in the seven kingdoms of Westeros, a land reminiscent of medieval europe. In Westeros the seasons used to last for years, sometimes decades, but as of now it has mysteriously changed. A year ago, the seven kingdoms were torn apart by a civil war, known alternately as "Robert''s Rebellion" or as the "War of the Usurper" depending on who you ask. Prince Rhaegar Targaryen (House of the Three-Headed Red Dragon) kidnapped Lyanna Stark (House of the Direwolf), arousing the ire of her family and of her betrothed, Lord Robert Baratheon (House of the Stag). The Mad King, Aerys II Targaryen, had Lyanna''s father and eldest brother executed when they demanded her safe return. Her second brother, Eddard, joined his boyhood friend Robert B. and Jon Arryn (House of the Falcon and Moon), with whom they had been fostered as children, in declaring war against the ruling Targaryen dynasty, securing the allegiances of House Tully (House of the Trout) and House Arryn through a network of dynastic marriages (Eddard S. to Catelyn Tully and Jon A. to Lysa Tully). While House Tyrell (House of the Golden Rose) and House Martell (House of the Sun and Spear) continued to support the King, House Lannister (House of the Golden Lion) stalled due to multiple insults made by Aerys II. The civil war climaxed with the Battle of the Trident, when prince Rhaegar T. was killed in battle by the rebellious Baratheon. Only then the Lannisters finally decided to offer support to the Mad King, only to just brutally turn against him after being granted passage on the gates of King''s Landing, sacking the capital. Sir Jaime Lannister of the Kingsguard broke his vows and slayed the Mad King, while House Lannister swore loyalty to the Rebels. Unfortunately, during the end of the war, Lyanna S. had died, apparently of illness shortly after her brother captured the fortress where she had been held captive; the mourning king instead married Cersei Lannister to cement the alliance between both houses. Despite Robert''s bittersweet victory, the Mad King''s pregnant sister-wife Rhaella died after giving birth to her daughter Daenerys, who later with her brother Viserys escaped Lord Stannis Baratheon''s (the king''s brother) efforts to capture them by fleeing to Essos with their loyal retainers. After the war ended, House Martell chose a path of isolation, since Prince Doran''s younger sister Elia Martell (Rhaegar actual wife) and her infant son had been allegedly killed by rogue knights during the storming of the Red Keep. But her toddler daughter Rhaenys was saved by Sir Jaime, the recently nicknamed "Kingslayer". {NEW GAME?} [YES/NO] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (23/07/2020) (27/09/2021) *Hello and welcome, dearest reader! Hope this short prologue helps me convey to you on how I''m playing to build this story, consider this a start to our conversation. Throughout this adventure I will give my personal spins on the storytelling matters (to keep things far from stale and underwhelming) like points of view of other characters and explore ways to keep the power progression with the gamer ability fun and interesting. I''m not sure about the frequency I will be posting chapters, not that I don''t have material to show, just that my writing is not on par with my ambitions for these stories. Please feel free to comment whenever you see fit, especially if you want to give me advice on certain plot points or even general grammar coherence on my sentences. Stay safe and farewell! Chapter -4 - Presentation Hello my dear reader! I''m really glad you choose to give me a chance to entertain you, and even if I just have your curiosity I''ll try my hardest to gain your attention. First things first, i must make some disclaimers, I''m a Brazilian who is just trying to avoid the boredom that is life amidst this quarantine... and if you haven''t already guessed English isn''t my first language, so I warn firsthand that my grammar can improve a lot. It goes without saying that my repertoire of slurs and general vocabulary are not as diverse as I would like them to be, so it is possible i might become a little repetitive in my choice of words. Regardless of my previous statement, I do encourage you to point out to me any flaws to help me improve. I have no problem with being criticized (even if your comment is harsh I don''t intend to censor you), but I would consider it a favor if you don''t spam me with the same message (in return I will try to read everything you send to me, and if necessary I will write you back). And please be careful while dealing with your fellow readers on the comment section. Secondly, I would like to ask for tips about this whole writing fanfic thing. I mean by that, any necessary disclaimer like stating that I don''t own the original stories and giving credit to the real authors for their work. Plus, I intend to thank you back by mentioning your name in the end of my chapters with your permission (shoutouts? Is that what their are called?). I know it''s not a lot for now, with me being new and all... but if things improve to me then it will be just awesome! ???????? Glad you continued to read until now, I plan to recommend the stories that I''m really digging and continue to share what''s in my mind with you. Sorry if I bored you with this whole "presentation", but I saw it as necessary to make things easier to me and avoid repeating myself in the future (I hope I''m right). As a reward for reaching this point I will tell you that if any of my ideas interests you, feel free to use it however you like. It would be super cool if you credit me, but you don''t have to. Thanks for your support and stay well! ???? Chapter 5 - These streets will make you feel brand new Winter has come. Come to think of it, my generation had experienced it much more than our parents and grandparents did. Regardless, I found myself standing in the middle of my bedroom chamber, in front of my large bed with my hands raised in front of me with sweat covering my forehead. Gathering the Mana inside me and pushing it forward, I brought both hands together before raising my hand forward. "ELDRITCH BLAST!" I said with a magical filter modulating my voice. Summoning a swirling ball of crackling energy among my palm, that hit my improvised target with great force, blowing it back against the stone wall. It felt like lightning to me. But my previous knowledge about RPG games, plus the clear description of the cantrip, enlightened me that it was pure magical force. One that monsters did not frequently have resistance or immunity to. With a range of at least thirty five meters, and some hints that leveling it up would bring much more than added damage, I knew this could become one of my most OP spells. If my time playing D&D served me right, this cantrip would also add other adjacent beams to my disposal, allowing me to decide between hitting multiple targets, or focusing on someone in specific. Usually, one is required to be a Warlock to be able to cast this Cantrip. You know, making a pact and all. But since that wasn''t the case for me, perhaps I might even get some invocations as well. Dope! "MAGE HAND." I chanted before conjuring a ghost-like hand to put everything in place without having to do so myself. Shaking my hand in a dismissive gesture after finish, I cancelled the magical phenomenon occurring. Best of all, cantrips didn''t actually consume my mana. Sure, some had a few annoying material requirements, like a bit of lodestone, fleece or copper wire, but that can easily be circumvented since my INVENTORY doesn''t seem to have a limit. Following that, I then mentally pictured someone in particular and pointed my index finger towards the ground. "MINOR ILLUSION." I chanted. Immediately, the image of my dear mother appeared sitting in front of me. She seemed sentient, but didn''t make any sound. "THAUMATURGY." Giving voice to the illusionary Cersei in front of me, having her hum a song from my previous life, I inspected her features and noticed she was exactly as I imagined her to be. Soon enough, after attempting to alter it after already casted and failing, I concluded that I didn''t have full control over my illusions however I saw fit. At least for now. Though the illusion seemed exactly as I had envisioned it. Proof of this was that the next time I casted Minor Illusion showed the Queen in more revealing clothes. It was excellent in regards to the creative potential that I could use this spell, but the bad side was that without reaching higher levels of it, I was stuck with a single illusion that produced no other sensory effect. Thankfully, Thaumaturgy''s illusionary sound made up for that. After a minute, the illusion disappeared and I proceeded to try my next spell. When I took my iron dagger from my INVENTORY (not having forgotten it back at the dungeon) to anyone else, it appeared that I''d pulled it out of thin air. Cutting a hole in my clothes and placing both hands over the cut. "MENDING." After focusing my mana for a minute, the fabric transmuted into its original form, leaving no trace of its previous damage. Appearing to have just been washed clean due to my previous use of Thaumaturgy. It is deceptively useful. I could simply open my shop and make a fortune repairing gear, clothes and even weapons. With luck, I might even be capable of closing wounds on living creatures. To proceed with my magical test drive, I approached the large mirror on the wall. After a brief moment to activate my most complementary cantrip, I blinked. "THAUMATURGY." And immediately after opening my eyes, I noticed the sudden change to their color. My eyes were now of the color green, similar to my half-siblings. Hum... If I find a decent way to change my hair''s appearance, stealth would come even more naturally. Sighing as I lowered my focus, wanting to test the limit and capabilities of my spells, I confirmed none of them were dependent on me focusing after they were casted. Perks of cantrip, I guess. They were magical in nature, of course I wanted to use them more. But the vocal component was somewhat tricky to deal with since I wanted to avoid the attention of magic-haters like Varys. However, before I could consider the matter further, my mental minimap warned me that any more strange sound would finally draw unwanted attention from the guards patrolling the halls. I just unequipped my clothes since I didn''t need to throw them away to be cleaned. Thaumaturgy was indeed a Swiss knife. I''m sure Jayne will appreciate having less work to do. Now n?k?d as the day I was born, I decided to walk into my bath and slowly slipped inside. The bubbling warm water battered against my tired muscles. Casting Thaumaturgy again, I made the water even hotter. The heat smoothed my crunched up muscles, relaxing them. As usual, I had been up all night either training or reading. Now I had magic to add to that list. Hey, I''m not complaining. Leaning back on the bathtub''s rim and opening my INVENTORY, I pulled out one of my legendary swords. Since acquiring them, I hadn''t come up with a decent name. Truth be told I was terrible with names. Proud of my reward, I raised it up in the air, its Valyrian Steel blade shining even in the shadow. Mostly due to its magical nature. I remembered when I first tested its sharpness. That time I had almost mimicked Wolverine''s actions in the bathroom during his terrible origin movie. They were crazy sharp. When I attempted to slightly scratch my iron dagger, I was stunned when I noticed how easily the Valyrian Steel edge sliced through it as if the iron was bu??er. Ser Barristan might beat an untrained adversary wielding a Valyrian Steel weapon, but I doubt he could do anything against someone that could pull it out of thin air. After inspecting the short sword and pondering about where I could learn about enchanting inscriptions, I stored it again. Slowly the time passed and I got out of the water. After getting myself dry with Thaumaturgy, I walked up to the large ?h?st in my room and with a little Mage Hand use had it open. Can''t wait to have it invisible and pretend I''m using the Force. Inside the ?h?st were several of my well crafted and comfortable clothings that I wore on a daily basis. Quickly putting on a set of small black pants that were made of padded woolen, which was very expensive for the common man but also the only protective gear I could get away with wearing all day. I wore a small white shirt over it, put on a set of fine boots and wrapped a fine scarlet and golden belt around my waist. This set of clothes were given to me as a gift for my fifth nameday. Gathering all my best clothes and storing them in my INVENTORY, I''ve been postponing doing that for a while now. Quickly leaving my chamber and walking through the corridors, I headed towards my destination while pondering. From what I was able to uncover, Rhaegar''s daughter is secured really tightly. Almost five years and it was only by coincidence that we were able to meet. I''ve talked to Alysse and she admitted that she hadn''t talked to Rhaenys either, only some rumors of her bad temper. At least with her alive, the Martells won''t dare to publicly oppose the crown or the Lannisters. Reaching the stairs that led to the dining hall I continued making my way. Speaking of Alysse, Jon Arryn shouldn''t have had another child besides the sick and frail "Robin" with Lyssa. No doubt, this will change things. The dining hall of the Red Keep was busy, filled to the brim with servants working to serve the nobles. I proceeded quietly inside and the Royal family were already eating their breakfast. While Robert looked really hungry as he ate without caring for etiquette, Cersei looked like a proper lady showing no emotion at all while Lord Hand Jon Arryn looked concerned. The moment I stepped into the light, the others began to acknowledge my presence. I approached my mother and kissed her on the cheek while saying good morning to everyone. Cersei smiled as she replied back. Her features betrayed some lack of sleep. From what I could see, my little half-siblings were growing fast. Not as much as I had, but faster than the average baby. Although, perhaps not fast enough for my mother. Please, if there actually is a DM out there, don''t make them self inserts like me! It would be such a bummer and unnecessary drama! "Took you long enough boy! Had some trouble sleeping?" Robert''s voice boomed before he began chopping at his bread. Simply bowing respectfully, I replied. "I''m sorry for my delay, father. I was just busy doing my morning exercises. It''s the only way one finds to not suffer from the cold." "Ah, as good a motive as any... er, son." Robert stated. "So is it true you want to visit the city? Amidst this damn winter?" "Indeed, father. It''s actually the perfect time for such endeavors. I understand that because of the season, King''s Landing is supposed to be less chaotic than usual." I answered in a polite tone. "I''ve already talked with Maester Pycelle and Lord Commander Barristan, they concluded the same and even suggested some places for me to visit. For now, I only request your permission." The King sighted, he had discussed with Cersei for the whole night due to my rush to learn how to fight. Not that Cersei actually cared for my well-being, she just enjoyed nagging Robert. Clearing his throat, Robert spoke. "So be it. You have my permission, I''ll arrange some guards to escort you later." "Are you sure it''s a good idea Robert?!" Cersei spoke. "I mean, our son can wait a few years, he still is too young." I chuckled at that. "Please, don''t worry mother. I promise to stay out of trouble." {LIE SUCCEEDED!} "Either way, you should first eat something, my Prince. No matter how fast you grow, everyone needs to eat before adventuring into such a city as King''s Landing, regardless of the season." The Lord Hand spoke up as he smiled before returning his attention to his food and returning to his concerned expression as he remembered something. Meanwhile, Lyssa Tully was seated besides Lord Arryn ignoring everything while scheming on how to get Petyr Baelish into the small council. Alysse was seated as well by Jon''s side, and after hearing her father''s words, simply winked at me. I just nodded back and carefully walked up to the table, after I sat down, a worker came up and started serving me food. We quietly ate our meals after that as my thoughts slowly slipped back to my last adventure into the castle''s magical dungeon, and all the rewards I''ve got from it. I now had a lair exclusively mine, a place for me to do whatever I wanted. As long as I finished getting rid of the remaining zombies. Especially that one that threw a fireball at me. Opening my status window and looking over everything I had acquired, I listed. I had my high level potions, legendary swords and some spells. Oh, and gold, lots of it. 20,000 if I''m not mistaken. Not to mention I still had a thousand Nexus coins to spend at my market, but I decided to save them as a last resort, at least until I learned how to farm those coins. Soon enough, everyone had finished their meal and we went our separate way. Closing the window and leaving the hall, I concluded that the gaming system was slowly making me immune to the cold, which was something I knew might eventually save my life. Even northerners and the wildlings didn''t have this capability. Sure, they were used to the cold, but immune? Unlikely. Just imagine, by the point I raise this skill high enough, I will be able to roam around the Lands of Always Winter n?k?d. ================================= Soon the days started to blur together. I spent most time training in the yard with Barristan, studying with Pycelle, grinding my cantrips and spending time with my half-siblings. Not caring much for the chilling climate. And by doing so my stats had improved vastly. ================================= TITLE: Durrandon Baratheon (Crown Prince) LEVEL: 10 (245/1000) HP: 100/100 SP: 100/100 MP: 10/10* MAGIC CONTROL: 93% ALLEGIANCE: The Iron Throne PWR: <16> END: <17> MOB: <18> INT: <21> STL: <17> DEF: 9* (padded clothes) MAG: 10* STAT POINTS: 25 PERK POINTS: 5 SKILLS: ~open list~ PERKS: ~list~ TIME PLAYED: 5 years MONEY: 20,000 GOLD/ 0 SILVER/ 0 COPPER/ 1000 NC ($) MARKET ================================= I had been quickly improving myself. Ever since that time in the dungeon, I realised I had only survived by cheating. Granted, there was more dumb luck involved in it to allow me to cheat so shamefully. I had managed to improve my physical stats by a lot, constantly pushing myself. And also improving my knowledge base a lot. I read and taught Alysse for INT while also sharing many interesting conversations with Pycelle, learning a lot from his experience, and even convincing him to research some topics they themselves weren''t comprehending. But I hadn''t been just training and reading, having also been on a streak of quests as well. I had leveled up a few of my skills too. {COMMON TONGUE Lv- 20 (55%)} {HOW MUCH YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE COMMON TONGUE OF WESTEROS} {HIGH VALYRIAN Lv- 20 (34%)} {HOW MUCH YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE LANGUAGE OF THE OLD VALYRIAN FREEHOLDS.} {OLD TONGUE Lv- 20 (11%)} {HOW MUCH YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE LANGUAGE OF THE FIRST MEN.} {OLD GHISCARI Lv- 20 (5%)} {HOW MUCH YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE LANGUAGE OF THE OLD EMPIRE OF GHIS.} {SUMMER TONGUE Lv- 20 (1%)} {HOW MUCH YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE LANGUAGE OF THE SUMMER ISLANDS.} {LAND LAYOUT: KING''S LANDING Lv- 10 (67%)} {THE LAYOUT OF KING''S LANDING AND THE LAND NEXT TO IT.
