Chapter 3:

Daily Quest complete:

Objective:

- Jog for 10 km 10/10km

- 100 sit up 100/100

- 100 push up 100/100

Reward chosen:

- A random item

After the gathering, I went to complete my last remaining quest, it took me 3 hours to complete this one. I had to regularly take a pause due to my lack of stamina, the villagers who saw me running around gave me a questioning look, for those who're courageous enough to ask, I just told them that running among other things help me recover my power a little bit faster. The best lies are told when you had a little of truth in it.

I got so tired that I even received a debuff.

Debuff : Muscle overexertion Duration : 6 hours 29 minutes

Your Strength, Agility and Vitality stats are halved until recovery.

As for the reward I chose the random item, I don't know why but luck based drop just have a strange attraction to me. I know I shouldn't even try it based on my luck but my heart is saying hell yeah. In the end wasn't that bad, I got a skill.

Riding level 1/100

The higher the skill is the better you will be at riding a mount.

Never been on top of a horse before but they're the main mean of transportation in this world, it can't hurt to grind this skill.

I have also noticed that no matter how much I exerted myself, I didn't get one single stat point even though I ran myself to ground. I think it's safe to assume that no amount of training is going to increase my stats. Thankfully, I can still increase my skill level when I use it frequently enough, such as the skill observe that I was spamming whenever I could, so much that it got to level ten. Not that it changed much though, It still give me the same amount of information that when it was level one.

*Growl*

All these exercise and thinking is leaving me hungry, so I decided to deal with the loot box and stats points after I eat and bath. In my quest for food I bumped into Hadis.

"Guide! I was just searching for you, dinner has been prepared and sent to your tent? "

Guide, a title people started to call me after my speech at the place that is now called the blessed garden.

"My tent? I'm not sure where that is." I responded honestly.

"We just recently made one for you, I'll lead you to it."

We departed toward the west side of the village near the blessed garden. I took this opportunity to ask if the villagers boil their water before consumption, apparently not, so I asked him to spread to word that boiling water before drinking it reduces the risk of getting sick.

Thanking Hadis, I walked into the tent and examined the interior. It is pretty spacious, there was a bed at the corner with clothes on it, a barrel of water on the other side of the tent and table where my meal was. Looking at the food I casted observe on it.

Roasted fish with boiled potato.

A dish cooked with great care but not with great skill.

I didn't pay the observation much attention, instead I was staring at the meal and realized that procuring food was never a problem to the people here. They can fish at the river, even though the soil isn't very fertile but with a nearby water source they should have no issues growing couple vegetable and add the cattle they raise, these guy will never go hungry.

In hindsight, me creating an hectare of magical soil probably didn't solve any of their problem, what they need the most right now is to defend themselves against raiders also known as the Dothraki. The lacks of man make this very difficult, they only have around sixty or so that can fight, the others are mostly woman and children.

I want to buy some guns for them but that's not for anytime soon, I think it'll be cheaper if I just buy the gun powder formula and go from there. I swear that everything that is magical or technologically more advance the price goes through the roof. Anyway, there's no point thinking about it now, can't do anything right now anyway.

I was eating dinner while thinking about what to do with the blessing garden, because there's no way I'm going to use a magical soil that can yield four to twelve time a year to farm potatoes and cabbages. Not that I have anything against those.

So I browsed the shop for some fruit and vegetable seeds, we need something tasty, simple and exotic. I decided on olives, orange, grape, banana, spinach, carrot, spices, green pea and wasabi root with some cotton that can be grow on the less fertile lands. All of these seed cost me seventeen thousands two hundred and five tokens, all of these just for some seed. I'll seem a little bit much since we only have three hundred people in the village but I believe it'll only grow from now on. To be honest the shop is absolutely great, you can find pretty much anything in it.

So In my excitement I went to look in the shop to see how much cost a spaceship and anime power. I found them all right, the only problem that is the most overpowered of them are locked away with only 'can look but not touch.' written as a description. Things such as the spaceship and superman power are locked but a laser gun and Spiderman can be buy, it just cost dozen of millions of token. There's also captain America serum, one millions for each person, surprisingly the formula only cost five millions but then the ingredient and the necessary equipment are not included, those probably cost just as much if not more. I should stop here, window shopping will only make me feel poor.

Finishing my meal, I cleaned myself and changed to spare clothes. Lying down on the bed I looked at my status screen. I have 24 stat points, 60 skill points and 2 perk points. Apparently I get 6 stat points, 10 skill points every level and 1 perk point every two level. Since it's established that I can't gain any stats by performing physical activities, it safe to assume that it'll be the same for intellectual one. After all I went through a battle and ran until I was half dead, still it didn't give me any stat point. So I decided to use the stat point now, the question is how should I spend it. I believe that balance is key because I still don't know which path to walk. I decided to just put four points in each stat except Luck and Charisma because they don't have any upgrade mark for me to press unlike the other six. I won't use the skill points for now since I can grind them, I'll use them when I get too lazy or really in need. As for the perk points, there's nothing for me to spend my points on, it seem that I have unlocked nothing.

Weirdly when I learned the skill Archery after the battle,it was already level 20, probably a reward for winning the skirmish or maybe I'm just a genius in archery. Anyways time to check out the loot box I got from my title.

Normal loot box

Contain four normal items and one rare item.

I'm actually a little bit curious what is considered rare and normal. Anyways, let's open it.

- 3 Roll of toilet papers

- Lance art: Dragon Thrust

- Spell book: Mana bolt

- Pocket watch

- Summoning scroll: Architect (rank B)

Lance art: Dragon Thrust

A martial art book created in an ancient civilization army. The army used their cooperation and shield to increase the deadliness of their spears.

Requirement: 10 level in lance masteries.

Spell book: Mana bolt

Learn the skill Mana bolt, allow you to create a ball made of mana and shoot it at your target. The power of the skill depend on you intelligence stat.

Requirement: 20 point in intelligence.

Summoning scroll: Architect (rank B)

Summon a recent graduate architect from the modern world.

I'm not sure if I'm lucky or unlucky, pocket watch and toilet papers are useful, sure, but I feel that I could have gotten something better. Don't want to and can't use the lance art. The Mana bolt doesn't look very strong but at least I have an offensive skill now. As for the summoning scroll, an architect is definitely not what I exactly need right now, well it could be worse. Looking at the watch, it shows 6 pm, makes sense, the sky outside is getting dark.

Adding Mana bolt to my skill list, I planned to summon the architect tomorrow because I don't want to deal with it so late into the day. As for the lance art I'm going to give to Lucius, it is no use to me. While I was thinking about the loot, somebody poked his head into tent at the entrance.

"Sorry commander, I would have knocked the door but ..." Lucius said and trailed.

"Get in, and since when you're calling me commander?"

"Well, since I was sent here to serve you it's only appropriate that I call you commander. "

"Whatever, you came here for?"

"I came to report the spoil of the battle, sir." I nodded my head in acknowledgement.

"We recovered all the hundred pikes you threw, sixty four unharmed horses, around a hundred thirty arakh made of steel and some provision they had on them. We burned the corpse after we finished. Oh, we also recovered some of your arrow." Taking the arrow from the bag he carried on him.

I thanked him and stored the arrow back in my inventory. With the report done, I was curious about the circumstance of his arrival and his past.

"So, Lucius how did you get here? Did you die?"

"No I didn't, I was training in the barrack when everything around just stopped and God appeared."

"So he just took you away? You're okay with that?"

"God didn't exactly just take me. He explained what expected from me and asked if I wanted to come. I don't know about you commander but you can't just refuse when God ask something from you, it also help that if I tried my best I will be guaranteed to go to heaven."

So she time traveled and took some random soldier. It'll be funny if it ended up causing the fall of the Roman Empire.

"What about your family then?"

"I'm an orphan, that's why I don't have any family name. Without friends in high places, being a guard was the highest position I could get."

This discussion is getting way out of my comfort zone.

"Well this conversation is getting depressing, let's change the subject. I got something for you." I said as I took the martial art book out of my inventory give it to him.

"Thank you." As soon as he had it on his hand, Lucius started to flip the book open and read it.

"This is martial book made for an army." Lucius declared.

"Well yeah, I'm not good with lance but you are, and you going to use it to train the other."

"I'll try my best commander! Even though I never trained anybody before." He responded with a smile.

"Go back to your room and study the book, as for me I need some rest. "Lucius saluted before leaving the tent. It might be only seven pm but I'm so tired that I decided to sleep early.

/The next day/

When I woke up the sky was still dark, thankfully there was a bit of moonlight for me to see the pocket watch that indicated it was only three am. I also remarked that I was particularly awake and energetic for somebody who just got out of bed. I don't think I'll be able to go back to bed. Instead of doing nothing I opted to do my daily quest and hoped that nobody wakes up and call me crazy.

The four points that I added into vitality did help me make this training easier, just not as much as I thought it would. It still took me more than two hours and a half to finish the task. It still gave me the muscle exhaustion debuff, only this it will last for five hours instead of six. Seeing how much I'm struggling to accomplish this quest, I decided to take 1 Stat point and 1000 shop token reward put it vitality until I can do this without ending up half dead.

Getting back to my tent, I took out the summoning scroll and used it. Just like last time with Lucius a portal appeared and a woman stepped out of it.

Long straight brown hair with a round face, wearing a black trimmed glass on her widening green eyes piercing in my direction, thin mouth opened and she was definitely on the fat side. She seemed about to scream.

"Don't scream, there are people are sleeping." I interrupted, not wanting to explain why there's suddenly a woman in my tent in a middle of the night.

"Sorry. I was too excited." She responded in embarrassment with her hand covering her mouth muffling her voice a little. I took this opportunity to cast observe.

Name: Annika Hartmann Age: 22

An easy going and cheerful architect graduate from Germany.

"So, did God or whatever other name he has, explained the situation to you?" I was slightly curious of how a modern person is going to react being sent into a fantasy world.

"Yes! You have to spread your religions in the world to amuse TOAA, weird she took that name but whatever. I still can't believe that I'm in Planetos right now. I want to see Dany so bad." She said with a voice filled with excitement, she would have jumped if she wasn't so heavy. She must be a huge Games of Thrones fan.

"Huh yes, what can you do anyways? Have any power?" I asked, even though I knew she is just an architect, it doesn't hurt to ask.

"I'm architect, so everything that involves building construction, city planning, knows a thing or two about engineering and a big fan of G.O.T, so if you need information about this world I got it. I don't have any power though, except maybe the fact that I can speak and read any language." Well I didn't have much hope anyways, at least she know this world better than me.

"I heard from the goddess that your power is based from a RPG game. That is so badass, can you give me some super powers too? Oh, I forgot to present myself I'm Annika Hartmann. " Damn, this girl is speaking faster than a Gatling gun. So I explained my powers to her and told her why I can't give her any superpower yet.

"Anyway, what were you doing when TOA came to recruit you?"

"Oh, I was dead. Apparently I died of a heart attack but it's okay I have another chance at life and it's in the world I love the most." She responded with a smile, but I could see that her eyes showed sadness.

"Damn I'm sorry."

"It's alright, like I said, it's an occasion for me to meet the characters that I love so much."

Now this girl seriously needs to realize we're not in a fairy tale, this is game of thrones, a very dangerous world. I mean you just have to watch the show and know that shit is brutal here with all the backstabbing and war here. Let's not even talk about the white walker.

"By the way where are we?" Annika asked.

"In Lhazar, and I have no idea which years it is." Even if they told me which years it is, I still would have no idea when that is. After all they never talked about the years in the show.

"Well, we can always ask them how many years since the doom of Valyria happen, with that I can deduce when we are in the time line." I guess she might end up more useful that Lucius, reading all the book sure give and advantage. "Being in Lhazar is not very good, we might get attacked by the Dothraki."

"They already came to raid us yesterday, thankfully they were only two hundred of them and we successfully repelled them." To be honest It was really close, if those forty or so Dothraki didn't run away, I would probably be dead right now, and it was on my first day. It'll be easy she said, it'll be fun she said, fuck TOAA.

"That must have been hard for you, especially being so young. To have killed people at such a young age I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now." She said as she hugged me.

Hearing her said that, I started to think about it. The fact that I have killed someone, to be honest I didn't think much of it until she mentioned. People say you will always remember your first kill, I don't. Things went down so quickly when the spears rained down on the riders, they all fell on the same time, quite difficult to tell who the first one was. I consider my first kill as the one I killed using the crossbow, even then I still can't remember him because of how messy it was, all I did was shoot one of the many Dothraki that were charging at us. Actually the only kill that I remember from that battle was the one Dothraki that succeeded in getting close to me, I was quite scared when that happened, in the end I pulled through.

As for how I felt, well I sure as hell didn't feel bad, scared maybe but definitely not bad. It was a do or die situation I sure as hell not going to choose to die. I didn't like seeing the blood or the dead bodies but I don't blame myself for killing them, they had it coming. If the God doesn't care that I'm murdering people, neither should I.

"You stink." Annika said as she releases me from her embrace.

"There's no shower here."

Annika gasped and seemed to be a bit upset as she started to mumble on how she's going to do without a bathroom, she swore right there she's going to set up shower. We spent the next few minute talking about our respective life before we came here.

Until Hadis came to ask me if I wanted to join them for breakfast, he was little bit surprised finding Annika in my tent. She immediately introduced herself as my counselor, I added that it was I who summoned her because it will be expected more of her if they think that it was the Creator who sent her.

At the meal surrounded by people who came to have their breakfast, I was asked about the deity I made, such as is he a male or female, what the Creator looks like and question among the likes. I tried to be vague about it but in the end I just told them he looked like a golden man that can take many form. I also took this occasion to give the seed to Hadis and told him to plant them in the blessed garden except the cotton that can be cultivated on the less fertile lands. Gave him couple advice I saw on TV about farming these specific fruits. Then Annika and I went our way to Passinda to ask her some question to determine our time line. Since she's old and wise I suppose.

"The religion you created is very vague and lacking" Annika stated.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to do, nothing too binding and have plenty of room to add things." Even though I agree with her, I'm not an expert at theology, I'm just going for something simple. During my travel to here I went to the shop and purchased a detailed map of Essos. It only costed me a thousand token but it was well spent.

Reaching to Passinda tent, we walked into it and greeted Passinda who was working on her plants and potions. I let Annika talk as she knew more than me. After exchanging some pleasantries, she went straight to the point.

"Could you tell when the doom of Valyria was?"

"Oh it was a long time ago child, more than three hundred years ago I believe. Why are you asking?" Passinda questioned back.

"Just curiosity, do you know how many years since the valyrian conquered Westeros?"

"Well if my memory is right, it must be more than two hundred seventy years."

"I think we're a few years before Robert rebellion." Annika told me in a different language.

"Passinda if you could tell me where are we on this map." I said as I took out the map.

The old maegi eyes widened as I took the map out and lay it over a table. She seemed to be surprised by the level of detail from the map. She brushed her hand and pointed her hand at a place. From what I saw on that map we're around two hundred kilometers west of Kosrak and a bit more than a hundred kilometers south west of us, is Hesh. Hesh is closer if we crossed the river but that is more than hundred meters large, with the two small boat that we have, can only take two person max, I think the only place we can go to trade will be Kosrak until we can build a bridge. Skahazadhan is the name of the river of the north, our rivers join up with it further at the west, making me question where the Dothraki that attacked us came from.

With slaver bay at the west, the Dothraki at the north, the Ghiscari at the south and the Red Waste at the east, Lhazar is surrounded by enemies. The only possible trading partners are Qarth, since I don't want to deal with the cities in slaver bay because of bad blood between the Lhazar and the slavers. As I looked further into the map, I remarked something weird, a city named New Valyria was written on the map, and it was between Lhazar and Qarth. So I decide to ask the more knowledgeable people here.

"Do any of you know the city of New Valyria?" I asked while pointing it on the map. Annika grew confused seeing it on the map and muttered that it wasn't on the book.

"It's the few survivors that escaped from the doom of Valyria that founded the city, my Guide."

"What I thought that only the one from Westeros escaped!" Annika cry out in surprise.

"All I know that they're from the descendant of the few valyrian that escaped from the doom."

Annika was probably feeling distressed because of a divergence that put a doubt to her knowledge. As for me I wanted to know more about the city and its people.

"Passinda can you tell me more about them? How many people have they? Or how do they get food since the red wastes are infertile."

"Do they have dragon?" Annika added.

"No, they don't have dragons thankfully, I'm not aware of their numbers but thanks to their magic, they were able to farm the infertile land of the waste. Though not enough, so they have to buy the needed food from Qarth and Lhazar. Oddly those valyrian are quite pacific and don't practice slavery."

Some form of relief washed over me when I heard that, I already have to deal with the Dothraki and I don't want to add another burden on this. But I was curious on what kind of resource they're producing.

"What kind of good they trade for the food?"

"I heard that they have multiple salts mine and apparently they also have some gold and silver that they mine under their soil. They also know how to craft valyrian weapons and those things are priceless."

We asked more question about them and learned that they were constantly trying to repel attack from the Dothraki and the ghiscari who were backed by slavers bay. We also asked if there were any settlement near ours, and we did have neighbors, two in fact, one at the west near where the river split, the other one at our east around a day walk from here.

Thanking the old woman, Annika and I departed toward my own tent. During our walk she expressed her worries over the difference from the book.

"What happen if Robert rebellion never happens?" Annika questioned as we got into my tent.

"Chill out, we'll know in a few years. We have more pressing matter to worry about, such as the Dothraki, because the one that I fought yesterday are part of a bigger khalasar, so we better prepare ourselves for them."

We discussed about how to defend ourselves against the assault of the Dothraki, escaping has been suggested but there's no way I'm abandoning the soil that I used a miracle on, and I doubt they numbered much, if they did, they would have chosen to attack Kosrak instead of coming here for the little village. In the end we opted for walls but we lack material, so Annika decided to look and ask around the village to see if there's any ways the procure the basic material for cement, before departing she asked me for a notebook and pen. There's another five hundred tokens going down the drain.

As for me I went out to grind my skills level. I opted to mainly focus on Riding, archery and mana bolt. I got myself a horse and fortunately I didn't make a fool of myself by mounting the horse without help. Even though I never mounted a horse before, I saw enough TV to pick up a thing or two. Such as bumping the horse side to make him move or slapping the reins the make him move faster. Okay, it didn't work that well but at least it made him move.

Distancing myself from the village so I don't get interrupted or bothered, I found a spot with a tree that I could use for target practice. When I casted mana bolt for the first, a small blue ball formed above my hand, it didn't look impressive, and when I shot it on the ground it barely scratched the surface, at least the movement speed is quite fast. Aiming and shooting on a horse is quite difficult, especially when you are not good at riding. I don't think I touched once the intended target.

I spent this day and the next day grinding, doing the daily quest in the morning and choosing the extra token and stat point to add it to vitality. Then I get on the horse grind my other skills. I got riding, archery and mana bolt to 10, 28 and 9 respectively. But when I woke up on the third day, a red screen appeared.

Urgent Quest: The Dothraki are coming again!
