I do not own any George R. R. Martin articles and or any aforementioned literary articles.
First person pov:
My name is or was Adrian McCormick, .
I was 5' 9", pale skin, slight of build, short dark brown hair, and light brown eyes, I lived with grey specks.
I was born and raised in the united statesUnited States of America, in Maryland. I had just finish highfinished High school when the eternal darkness Eternal Oblivion came for me.
I never thought, I would die this early on in life, and there would actually to be an afterlife and turns out a god of some kind.
All I could remember before the cold darkness was pain and tightness in my chest then nothing., it felt like I was floating in darkness all around me as if I was in water, looking around me I see a white dot above me swimming towards it the closer I got the hotter it got.
It felt as if I was floating as if I was under water, looking around me I saw a white dot above me.
Swimming towards it, the closer I got to it the warmer it became.
As I climbed over the threshold into the light, I finally felt like I was on solid ground. Looking around me, I saw endless white around me in every direction.
I tried to see my reflection in the pool of darkness.
I saw that I was wearing nothing, my body had no imperfections, no moles, no scars, my tan was gone, and I could see perfectly without my glasses.
Looking up from the abyss, I started to wander in any direction.
I spotted someone in the distance running to them, as I got closer the person looked like they were made up of the universe itself.
Stopping a couple feet from him and stood there for what felt like ages past.
"Welcome, Adrian we have much to discuss and you have choices to make." He said, he sat down on the floor.
I followed his lead sitting on the ground.
"The choices you will have to make is to move on or go to another place." He said, waving his hand five different colored arches appeared.
Pointing to the first arch it was pitch black with mist off it.
"This path will take you to the other said." He said
I stood up from the ground.
"Why is there only darkness?" I asked
"In life you believed in nothing, so there will be nothing for you." He said
Staring at the arch, I felt crushing dread.
"This one will lead you to the Star Wars universe." He said, pointing at the second arch was flickering between planets and species.
Star Wars could be good but then there are the yuuzhan vong there a problem, and then there's the likely hood of getting a bomb strapped to your neck.
"This arch will take you to the song of ice and fire world." He said, pointing at the third arch was swirling with fire and ice.
Ice zombies, and crazy fire people are doable, but since this world is low tech and even if I'm not noble, I can easily rise to power.
For in that world a sword and gold does wonders.
Pointing to the fourth arch was full of translucent silver animals.
"This will take you to the Harry Potter universe." He said
Crazy old dudes can read your mind and no guarantee of having magic.
"This last one will take you to Percy Jackson world." He said, looking at the last arch.
If become a demigod of some kind, I can't use technology and I don't fancy being constantly hunted.
He stood up, swiped his hand two chairs appeared.
We both sat in either chair, "What is your choice of world?" He asked
Thinking on it for a couple minutes, "I will take the Song of Ice and Fire world." I said
I think he was looking at me it was hard to tell.
"What new face shall you take?" He asked, waving his hand all but the one arch disappeared.
Snapping his fingers five figures appeared before me.
The first one was a man wearing armor with slick back hair, goatee, moustache, and pale skin.
"This man is called Bronn, a mercenary." He said
The second figure was simply dressed boy with short ginger hair, and pale skin.
"This one is called Mycah he is the son of a butcher." He said
The third figure was a heavy-set man with short dark hair, beard, and moustache.
"This one is Samwell Tarly; he is a son of a noble." He said
The final one was a balled old man, "He is Walder Frey, Lord of House Frey." He said
Thinking on it for a couple seconds, "I know who all these guys are, will I be inserted at birth or some point in their lives?" I said
"Birth for three of them, you would be inserted into Mycah after he died coming back to life." He said
"I'll choose Walder Frey." I said, scratching my head.
He snapped his fingers the other three disappeared.
"Now I will give you the choice of abilities from other worlds." He said
"They are Alchemy, Old gods magic, or immortality with increased physical ability." He said
Thinking on it for what felt like hours, "I want the immortality." I said
He stood up walking towards the arch, I followed him.
"I think you're ready to go but also you'll stop ageing physically at 21 years old and I will give you a glamor to make it look like you're still ageing." He said
I walked through the arch; I was consumed by darkness.

Westeros, Riverlands, The Twins
208 After Conquest
Screams could be heard coming from the lady of the castle's bedroom,
Celesse Frey was in labor trying to bring the next Frey into the world, there was a man waiting outside the door.
He is Myke Frey her good brother, his brother was her husband Hector Frey who died recently from the spring sickness that has been plaguing Westeros.
The screams stopped; a midwife comes out with a bundle.
"Milord Lady Celesse has passed, but before she passed, she named him Walder, Walder Frey." She said
Lord Myke took the bundle from her.
"Hello little Walder you will one day rule the Frey lands." He said
As the years went by Walder or Adrian showed to have greater abilities and mind than normal man, his uncle would be regent until he turned 16 years old.
At seven years old Myke had Walder choose a weapon, a short sword on sided blade one handed with a slight curve to the blade, cross guard was horizontal.
His uncle had begun his martial training at seven, teaching him to fight with spear, bow, his sword, shield, and to fight on horseback.

Teaching him war tactics, economic tactics, and how to run the house and the lands, and the noble etiquette. Walder started to design future plans and projects for Frey lands when he becomes lord.
219 after conquest
The third Blackfyre rebellion is close to ending, Walder is eleven years old, his uncle has been taking him on bandit hunts.
The first time Walder spilt blood. Him, his uncle, and some Frey men were about to ambush some bandits, they're creeping forward.
"Walder keep close to me but keep your shield up and down enough to strike." He said
"I will Uncle." He said, he draws his sword.
The Frey men look to his uncle for the signal, he throws his hand down they start firing arrows picking off some of the bandits, his uncle gave him a look.
"Charge!" He yelled; the Frey men charged forward cutting down bandits as they go.
Walder pov:
I was moving toward the center of the camp, I saw a man charging at me, raising my shield preparing my sword to slash, he hits my shield with mace I fall to the ground on my back he keeps hitting, rolling away with my shield grabbing my sword, standing up crouched slightly he goes to swipe at me with his mace, I slash out at his arm severing part of his fingers on his left hand and severing his right hand at the wrist.
He was riving on the ground blood spurting everywhere all over me, I went forward stabbing downward with one hand on the hilt and the other on the pummel, putting all my wait into it, as the blade goes into his chest falling to my knees putting more of my weight into the strike.
He had stopped moving, letting go of my sword, I felt sick, all I could taste was iron, I turned away from the body, I vomited all that was in my stomach, looking back at the body I saw my uncle walking towards me.
He grabs my sides lifts me up from my knees.
"It's ok everyone gets sick after their kill but with time your hands will stop shaking and the sickness will abide." He said, he walks to the body.
"Walder come pull your sword." He said
I walked over grabbing the hilt with a shaky hand I pulled the sword out with ease from the corpse.
Looking at the mirror polished blade covered in red rivulets of blood I saw myself covered in dirt and blood, looking away from it I saw my uncle gathering the men I walked over to him.
"Walder you will soon be lord, what should we do with the survivors and the dead?" He asked
They were all looking to me, I looked at my blade, "Dismember the dead, loot the bodies and the camp of anything of value, burn everything, the survivors will be impaled with signs around their necks saying outlaws along the road they were raiding." I said
"Good job Walder." He said, my uncle grabbing my shoulder.
My uncle takes me to the horses, "Wait here, and once were back at the twins you'll get a personal cut of the loot from the bandits, then the men get there cut and the rest will go to the Frey treasury." He said
"Why am I getting a cut if the rest is going to the treasury." I said, looking at him.
"Because I want to see what you'll do with it." He said, he just walks away to the men.
Walders pov:
224 after conquest
I will soon be to enact my plans as of today I become lord of house Frey, I hear a knock at my door.
"Who is it?" I asked
"Milord, your uncle wishes to speak to you in the solar." They replied
I grab the rolled-up parchment from my bed side, leaving my room I reach the solar walking in I see my uncle standing beside the desk.
"Aren't you going to sit down Milord." He said
I sat down at the desk he hands me house Frey's wax seal.
"Now that your lord of the Twins, what is you first act as lord?" He asked
I unfurled the parchment; I weigh it down.
"It's a road." He said, looking at it.
I stared at him, "This road will make travel through are lands easier than the dirt one we have now." I said
"It will be 24 ft wide, 2 ft deep, after it is been dug, we will compact the dirt, put a layer of sand, a second layer of bricks made with cement, a third layer of crushed rocked mixed with cement, and then final layer of stone, made that water will cascade to the drainage ditch to either side". I said
"What is this cement made of, where are you going to get the material, and where are you going to get the labor for this?" He asked
"Sand, lime, gravel, wood ash, and we can get most from are lands or import from the vale, and get workers from nearby villages." I said
Pulling out a map of the vale, "The road will leave the east castle to connect with the kings road, and the west road will go to are western border and then later ask the Mallisters if they want to connect to Seagard." I said
"What about the renovating the part of the kings road in are lands?" He asked, pulling up a chair.
"I will write to the hand of the king to get the ok." I said
"Now we begin, I have many plans for our house and lands." I said, standing up, walking out of the room.
As I climb over the threshold into the light, I finally feel like I'm on solid ground looking around me I saw endless white every in every direction. I tried to see my reflection in the darkness, I saw that I was wearing nothing, my body had no imperfections, no moles, no scars, my tan was gone, and I could see perfectly without my glasses.

Pointing to the second arch was flicking imagines of planets and species, he says, "this one will lead you to the Star Wars universe", pointing to the third arch was swirling of ice and fire, he says, "this arch will take you to the song of ice and fire world".
