So I know this isn't what you guys were expecting I would upload but I just haven't been feeling like writing my Xcom mass effect xover lately, and welt this story is the result of a bunch of procrastination and drunk written drabbles that when reread sober gave me the idea for this story.
Now this is a Jon centric story in which he finds an item which gives him the power of the game I am sure all of you have heard off or read one off these, mine however will be mixed with one of my favorite franchises the Elder scrolls.
Lastly I am still considering pairings for Jon, but Jon will most likely sleep around, a lot, my current favorites for his pairing are, Jon/Ygritte, Jon/Arianne Martell and Jon/Aela the huntress but I haven't made up my mind, a this point I have written 5 chapters already but I will upload slowly and write just as slowly so don't expect any regular uploads.
Enjoy
Disclaimer, I do not own Game of thrones, a son of ice and fire, any part of the elder scrolls series, or anything else I write about, this disclaimer goes for this and all future chapters of this story.
…..
Jon Snow's day was… not the best, it started decent enough, he had a nice breakfast of fresh bread and bacon, but then Arya wanted to play hide and seek in the wolfswood, now he was searching through the forest for her, at least that was what he told himself, in truth he was lost, very very lost, he wondered further into the woods than he ever had before, something he had promised his father he would never do.
Now he wandered with no idea where to go it had been like this for hours the sun was halfway across the sky, unfortunately the people in Winterfell were used to him being gone till sundown, so a search wouldn't be organized before then, so he was alone for at least a few hours.
So, there he was walking through the forest searching for Winterfell, as he passed that same GODS DAMMED TREE again, he saw something, an old overgrown structure. It looked like it was old, ruined and overgrown, but he could feel a pull, a feeling in the pit of his stomach drawing him towards it.
As he came closer he looked over the structure, it is a small thing the size of a hovel in wintertown, he thought, only covered in moss and dirt, the door of the structure was round and made of stone, carved runes ran across its surface, he decided to step forward, as he ran a hand over the runes, when he got to the middle of the door a spike shot out and stabbed him through the hand.
As he cursed in pain, he noticed something very strange, the wound through his hand closed rapidly, resealing, and not even leaving a scar. The door had opened he noticed, leading into a tunnel dark and smelling of mold and death.
As he thought over the options, he could wait for sundown and the search parties, or he could explore the tunnel protected by a door that stabbed him, the first would be boring and would probably lead to a punishment, the second would lead to adventure… gods why was he even thinking about it he was going down their anyway, if not now than when he got bored form waiting.
As he descended down the stairs torches along the wall lit as he passed by, then extinguished as he went further down, it was strange he knew he should find it scary but he still went down and down and down and down, until, finely he was at the bottom of the tunnel an ancient wooden door stood there, rotten and dusty, he stepped forward and pushed against the door it collapsed in on itself with a loud crash, he jumped nearly hitting his head on the low ceiling, beyond the door was a large room filled with braziers and stone coffins, filled with dust and bones. The braziers had lit as soon as he stepped into the room.
On the other side of the room was a large tablet something was on that tablet from where he stood he could not see what but there was something there, once again compelled to move forward, he walked past the coffins and braziers to the tablet. The walk took nearly a minute, so large was the room filled with hundreds of coffins.
When he got to the end of the room, he walked up the dais where the tablet sat upon and look at the item on it, it was tiny compared to the huge slab of rock upon which it lay, a small piece of black metal, with a single black gemstone shining in the center.
He took the item and examined it closer, it had no markings, just a band of black metal and what he believed to be an onyx, he slid the band over in his hand, but his fingers slipped, and it slid down wrist were it shrunk down to fit perfectly around his wrist. Suddenly text appeared in front of his eyes.
Welcome young adventurer you have found my greatest creation, the band of ice and fire, send to this realm to serve you, I hope it will serve you well, like it did me.
As soon as he had finished reading the text disappeared replaced by a new text this one looked like a list of some sort.

Know by most as the bastard son of Eddard stark, Jon Targaryen is in fact the trueborn son of his sister, Liana stark and prince Rhaegar Targaryen, taken by his uncle to the north after the events at the possibly misnamed tower of joy.
He was confused and a frightened this band was telling him he was a Targaryen, he wasn't Eddard starks son, 'the trueborn son of his sister Liana Stark and Prince Rhaegar Targaryen', if this was true than, then gods it couldn't be true.
But as he read the list again to distract himself he noticed something.
Dragonsblood. (+50 rep with Dragons, immune to burning effect and if known strong claimant to the lordship of the iron throne, kingslanding, Dragonstone and Valyria)
If this thing was real and he very much doubted it, he would not get burned. Thinking about it however he had not been burned before, curiosity overwhelmed him he wanted to test if this thing was real. He walked to a nearby brazier, and quickly before he could reconsider stuck his hand into the fire, it was hot but as he looked at his hand it was not burning and there was no pain only an uncomfortable heat, near pain.
He wasn't burning, gods he wasn't burning, it was true if this was true than all of the other things had to be as well, he was not a stark, he was still unsure of course, would not be sure until he heard the words from his father, no uncle.

Now stats were harder, some he could guess like, Int means intelligence , Wis meaning wisdom, Luc meaning luck, the others were harder though, though he guessed that if his Int was higher he would know already, Str could only mean strength, Dex was far harder but after thinking it over he remembered reading with Measter Ludwin, he thought it could mean Dexterity, now there was Vit it could mean vitality maybe, now Cha it means charisma there was nothing he was worse at then conversation, and that is what Charisma meant how good you were at speaking.

Well that was interesting, it was all he had on him even the key he took from a table yesterday. He touched his finger to the fur overcoat he noticed the E behind it disappeared right before the fur on his chest did, he could see it in its inventory he touched it again and it reappeared on his chest the E behind it in the inventory came back as well. He did it again and the fur disappeared he couldn't even feel the weight of it it was just gone.
He did it several times more, it was weird and worrying, he pushed his finger on the small cross at the top and the inventory list went away. So, he could store away items and they wouldn't exists outside of that list, it was just gone and he could press it and it would be back.

The gold was in his inventory, he touched his fingers to the word Gold and in his hand appeared a bag filled with 15 Gold Dragons he put the bag back into the inventory.
Well that was more money than he ever had on him at a single time, at least nobody can take it. He would figure out more about this band later, he had to get back to Winterfell.

Punishment for failure or declining:
Slow death in the forest.
Accept/decline
He quickly pressed accept wondering what the ? meant. He looked further around the dais, at the far edge of the wall stood a single piece of stone inscribed with runes that looked more like a birds dancing, then actual writing. As he approached the wall he could see a small part of the wall glowing, the runes illuminated in bright blue, as he moved closer he heard a chant on the edge of his hearing it grew louder as he went closer and closer to it when he got close enough that he could see individual runes the chant was ear shattering and his vision was black for all but the bright blue runes.
And suddenly he understood the words,
Here lies the guardian
Keeper of the band
A force of unending
ice and fire
Word of power learned FUS!

Accept/Decline
He pressed Accept, that was strange the feeling it gave him reading that, it made him feel powerful, strong and most of all free. Now he could finally look around without interruptions, he spotted an ornate chest, as he walked up to it and opened it he looked inside he found a sword, a dagger and a leather chest piece.
Examining the sword further, he was surprised when a box popped up.
Old Nordic steel sword Grade C damage: 14
Old Nordic steel dagger Grade C damage: 6
Old Leather chest piece Grade D armor: 1
You have learned a new skill:
Examine: examine an object to learn its properties!
He put them into his inventory, the armor he guessed was how much protection it gave, and damage spoke for itself. Past the chest he found a lever, he decided to pull it, and after a few seconds, a piece of wall lowered into the ground, a tunnel behind it becoming visible, he went into the tunnel, following it for a few minutes he came to another lever pulling it he watched a part of the wall slide away, he could see light pouring into the cave, as he stepped outside, he saw that he was on the edge of the forest, he walked out of the forest, up the nearby hill from the top he could see the towers of Winterfell.

HUD compass!
Again, in front of him appeared a bag, but at the moment he couldn't care less for suddenly on the top of his vision appeared a bar and in it he could see a large N, as he moved his head around the N moved around to be replaced by a W and when he looked behind himself a S, so it was a compass, now that would be useful if he ever got lost again, now he had to get into Winterfell.
Compass marker set!
A marker suddenly appeared on the compass, in the direction of Winterfell. Jon felt his eyebrows raise in surprise, if this is what he thought it was, then, I need to get to Kingslanding.
Compass marker set!
The marker moved from the direction of Winterfell, aiming southward in what he presumed to be the direction of kings landing. So, he could put a marker on anywhere he would need to go, just by thinking about where he needed to go, I need to get to Winterfell.
Compass marker set!
He started in the direction of Winterfell.
…...
When he finally arrived it was early afternoon, Arya came running up to him, telling him she was worried when she couldn't find him. She had been trying to convince lord Stark to send out a search party, to little success, apparently lord stark trusted him to find his way back.
After assuring Arya that nothing had happened and that he was fine, and then being giggled at for getting lost, he was on his way, he was already late for practice with Jory, Jory having taken over from Rodrik while the man was recovering from a wound, and if he was any later then that would be trouble.
After a grueling training with Jory, he got a popup.
You have advanced a skill:
One-handed. 1
Block. 1
Due to reaching skill 25 with your one-handed skill you can select a perk, you can select perks when a skill reaches 25/35/45/55/65/70/80/90/95/100:

-novice swordsman: +10% damage with one-handed weapons. Leads to the apprentice swordsman perk +20% damage with one handed weapons.

Jon thought about what these perks meant, they would make him more powerful overtime, that would be useful if he ever wished to go adventuring.

Punishment for failure or declining:

Accept/Decline
He quickly pressed accept, now Jon Thought about the perks, the perk Sideswipe would be very powerful as it would allow him to deal with groups of enemies, the perk novice swordsman seemed to continue on increasing his damage with every perk he put into it.
After considering the options for several minutes, he picked chose the Sideswipe perk. Deciding to test it out once he reached his room. He went to supper, after the usual quiet and peaceful meal, throughout which lady Stark glared at him for no less than 23 times. He eventually reached his room.
Now that he was alone he locked the door, he equipped his old Nordic steel sword, and he swung it in a arc. Nothing happened.
"Uhh… sideswipe?" As soon as he said sideswipe his arms moved for him swinging the sword in a arc, when the motion was completed he saw that a green bar had appeared in the bottom corner of his vision, he said Sideswipe again and again his body moved for him and the green bar went down more to half. This time he thought sideswipe and the same happened. So he could also think about wanting to do the move. He did it again this time he got a popup.
Your stamina is low, you can use a potion or rest for a while to regenerate it, the lower your stamina the longer it takes to fully regenerate!
He sat down on his bed and after just sitting there examining his sword for a little while the green bar filled up again, he spent the next hour practicing with his new Sideswipe skill he got a new popup.
Due to your continued practice with a sword you have gained 1 Dex!
He decided to go to sleep and find out more about this strange band tomorrow.
