We play people's games

by fvdv123

Old guy's brother went through 4 Potter-verses and ended up in Westeros for his next level. This can be read as a stand-alone if you accept the Skills he brought along. His previous levels were done in: The games people play. As always Cringe and Crack are included. The bloody Game is still in Extreme Hard Mode. Insert/Multi

9. Chapter 9

Disclaimer:

Mr. M, I read the books, and watched five seasons of the TV series… I am surprised there were people alive at the end. It is a fun world to mess with, like HP's. Oh, I forgot… for free.

Previous:

They stayed for a week, the local lord almost shat his pants when we invited him for dinner as a courtesy. I had the most fun with the little sand snakes to turn them away from the spear and convert them to ninja techniques and daggers. It was loudly protested by Oberyn and laughed at by Elia and Ellaria. The snakes were happy when I gave each of them a set of daggers to practice with.

I said: "A drop of your blood on these blades, and they will always return back to you within a day" Oberyn rolled his eyes, but got an elbow from Ellaria she said: "Your gifts are priceless and we thank you for them, Lord Potter."

When they were gone, Astoria asked me: "Are we going to save the little princess?"

9 I am a Knight in Shiny Armor?

I shrugged: "If you think about it, it's a bit morbid, I killed daddy, now I am supposed to save the toddlers? Viserys is already as crazy as a bat. What do you suggest?"

Astoria thought for a bit: "The Main quest reacquires you to be a Noble, so Greengrass will do, You have to marry a princess to get to the next level. Even when you make me Royalty it does not count. I was not a Princess when I married you."

She continued: "It is not that hard anymore for you, you got away from Dustin with four crates of gold from the King's vault. The two years you spend here in isolation made you powerful enough to face everyone. We leave when the kids are hatched, your healing has them already at 100%, they will be beautiful babies.

I am convinced: "Darling, the next Skills we are training are Mining, Transfiguration and Shipbuilding. We are going to introduce them to the mighty Wizard of The Tits? That doesn't sound right. Pennytree Wizard neither, come on where are the catchy Titles when you need one!"

New Title: The Whiny Wizard.

Fuck you. Astoria suggested Wizard of Dorne, meh, it will do. First I had to ward the village from little birds, when they kept on trying to spy, I paid a visit to the Red Keep. Usually, I removed some body parts, but in this case, someone already did. An Imperio got him to plant a dagger into Bealish, after that, stab King Rob, yelling his kid is a bastard. Let's see how far he gets.

The lord of the village was happy to sell a patch of land at the coast, we transformed it into a nice cozy harbor. The blueprints of the Metal ships are still fresh in my head, although I let Astoria do most of the work. I just kept watch… watching her bum, she did have a nice ass. And she knew I was looking at it. Life is good.

When the ship was almost done, I asked the village elder if he knew an experienced Captain and if there were some sailors in the village that needs a job on a ship. The sailors were easy, the Captain I had to request Elia to send one she could miss.

I paid my taxes to the local Lord, by pointing him to two iron mines on his land.

When the new Captain saw the Metal Ship he refused the job by saying metal doesn't float.

I shook my head in pity, I took a soup kettle from the kitchen and put it in the water: "Do you need more evidence Captain Nelson? This ship is twice as fast as the best the Iron Born can build. Here let me show you…"

The training trip had the men convinced. The captain shat his pants when he saw the crew's quarters, they were bigger than his former room. The restrooms and showers, kitchen, and steering cabin, made him and the crew sign the contracts without reading them.

Xxxxx

The kids hatched, Astoria had a silver one named Daffy, my black one, I named him Bernie to stay with the B's. Captain Nelson did two more training trips, we equipped them with quality swords and bows, after the last trip and told him to prepare cargo for Pentos. Any commerce he did with the ship, 30% of the net profit was for him, 20% for the crew.

Astoria named the ship: Little Princess. She asked me: "Harry? If you hold off on marrying a princess, can we have some fun in this world? Like destroy the fleet from the Iron born? Give the Dornish the secret of glass production? Oh and visit Valyria?"

I groaned: "Yes we can do that, but only if you sail with me. I am not going to sit alone on this bloody ship looking at a picture of you for months."

Astoria looked puzzled: "Don't you have those locations already in your mind? We can go there with a Portkey."

Wisdom -1

Fuck it! Why doesn't it show when I gain a +1? this Game is fucking with my common sense. Well, I am going to have some fun here.

Nelson saw the Dragon coins already flowing in, and began to plan a multiple City trip. Sunspear, Lys, Tyrosh, Myr, Pentos, Braavos. This is going to take forever.

Xxxxx

When we were on the open sea, we introduced Daffy and Bernie to the crew: "Captain, Men, these are our new pets, Daffy is the silver one, Bernie the black one. They are magically bonded to us and are not dangerous for our people. We have to protect them the first year, they can protect us from then on."

We had to turn around to pick up two dimwits, who jumped into the sea.

When the nerves were settled, our trip went fine, Astoria liked sea travel, although we traveled in style. Our cabin could stand to compare to the Cruise ship's luxury cabins of our time, and the playpen of Daffy and Bernie was big enough to fly in. We decided to hide their presence in Westeros for now.

We made a big entrance in Sunspear harbor. Astoria went into business mode and bought a warehouse. She said: "When you leave this level with the game, our kids need a future that doesn't depend on the Game, my love. Now, ward the warehouse so I can assist Nelson with his trade and hire staff."

My "Yes dear," sounded familiar to me, she reminds me a lot of Daphne.

Elia came to visit me with Lyanna: "Harry? This is a Metal Ship!" I shrugged: "Yeah, I noticed it too. It floats though."

Elia rolled her eyes: "You made this one? How? We don't have the knowledge to cast iron and steel in these proportions." Now I rolled my eyes: "Magic Lady Elia, Astoria did most of it, we named her The Little Princess. Good day to you Lady Lyanna. How is your son? Growing big and strong?"

Lyanna smiled at me: "You said it, he is growing to be a fine lad. Is this the ship that.." I held my hand up and told her: "Hold on ladies and come on board, there we will not be heard by little mice and birds."

Both got a tour of the cabin, Elia sighed: "After that week at your mansion, returning to the normal world was hard on me and the little snakes. After two days' travel, they asked us to return to you. Now they are pestering Oberyn to get you to foster them."

I sagged my shoulders: "And you just asked me to do so isn't it? Training them? Obara is Ten and Four, Nymeria Ten and Three, and Tyene Ten and Two. Do you know how old I am? I am almost Ten and Six, so is Astoria."

Lyanna said to that: "We both know you have an older mind Ser Harry, it shows when you talk seriously. That is why you joke a lot, to mask it. Take those three in, you won't regret it." Now that sounds to me they want to tie me to Dorne. I evaded it by saying: "My wife has the last word on this, those girls' age is close to ours, and can lead to frictions."

Elia laughed at that: "Those girls adore your wife Harry, the last days of our visit they followed her like puppies. Getting her permission is almost certain." Fuck, I should have skipped docking here.

We left for Lys with three extra snakes. Daffy and Bernie were an instant hit with the girls, with puppy eyes Obara asked us: "Astoria? Harry? Do you have more eggs?"

Astoria looked them into their eyes: "Obara, we agreed to foster and train you three, but asking for a dragon means more than asking for a pet snake. Asking for a dragon means you stop being Sand Snakes and change into Sky Dragons. It means you become a part of our House. Are you prepared to be part of a Wizard's family? We do more than live in luxury."

Without a word, Obara handed Astoria three scrolls. Astoria read it and wordlessly handed them to me.

Three signed marriage contracts activated on their sixteenth birthday. They didn't even know about the dragons when they signed the papers.

New Companions

Obara Sand

Nymeria Sand

Tyene Sand

Hey! I was planning to keep it a solo run! Anyway, they have to keep it in until their fifteenth birthday like the rest of the girls.

Xxxxx

In Lys, we bought a warehouse, after warding it, I portkey'd us to the mansion to select their eggs.

Obara got:

Egg

Species: Valyrian Dragon, Male

Time to hatch: 8 months

Chances on successful hatching: 75%

Chances on mental health: 68%

Nymeria:

Egg

Species: Valyrian Dragon, Female

Time to hatch: 8 months

Chances on successful hatching: 79%

Chances on mental health: 70%

Tyene:

Egg

Species: Valyrian Dragon, Female

Time to hatch: 8 months

Chances on successful hatching: 80%

Chances on mental health: 65%

I warned them: "Everyone has a bit of magic in them, now that you bonded with the Egg and my Family you got some more. Each day I have to heal and cure the eggs. If I don't they will hatch deformed and insane. Each day you have to push your magic into the egg, feed it and bind it to yourself. Do not miss one day. Now, take your egg, and grab hold of this rope to get back to Lys."

At Lys, the girls showed the eggs to Astoria on the ship. Astoria smiled and told stories of how she took care of her egg.

Xxxxx

The staff was selected and signed binding contracts we left for the next city. Tyrosh and Myr got the same treatment. In every city, we were the midpoint of attention. Even more when bandits could not even board or steal the ship. Pirates were good practice for the girls, I started to train them in the Zombie Dungeon. With enchanted weapons blessed with Light Magic, we became a good team.

The snakes' starting level was their age, Obara was corrupted by Oberyn and kept with the spear, Nymeria took a liking to dual-wielding with swords and daggers. Tyene learned Bows and daggers.

Each night, after five hours of fighting Zombies, they slept through breakfast.

We reached Pentos, I let Astoria and Nelson do their thing and took a stroll through the city with the three snakes… no dragons. After the first men fell wounded before us I cast a notice me not on us, or we had to fight off every horny bastard in town.

By reading people's minds I reached Illyrio's mansion. We knocked and asked for a meeting with the master, saying the little birds and mice guided me here. I might have found that code sentence in Varys mind.

Illyrio received us in his office: "What news do you have of Varys? He did not contact me for two months."

I sighed: "It is grave news master Illyrio, Varys is been compromised and his birdies are shattered without a leader. I came here to do the same, you know, that son of yours will never sit on something grander than on a seat in an outhouse. No need to move dear man, or speak, let us see what is on your mind…"

The location of the kids and his son with their minders was the first gain, his secret stashes were fine too. I erased the visit from his mind, planted some fake reports from Varys and a time-delayed spell to let his oldest son inherit all next month. That son was not so friendly about the little Blackfyre, he will take care of him.

Xxxxx

A tour to the secret stashes filled our coffers again. Halfway to Braavos Astoria asked: "Do you want to pay a visit to the nest?" I nodded: "Yeah, let's. It could be a good harbor for trade with the Vale and the North." The nest was cleaned in an hour, we gained five ships, a keep, and a village. I read the captain's memories of who is on the payroll of who.

We took a week to transform the harbor into something that could house twenty big ships and redecorated the Keep and village. After warding it all with alerts if attacked we left for bravos with three crews for new fishing boats."

Xxxxx

In Braavos we took care of our business, I spotted a faceless man and approached him, while holding him still with Telekinesis. I said: "A Man should never attack A Boy. The cost would be too much for the Many-Faced God. Valar Morghullis." The Faceless Man studied me for a moment: "A Man will spread the message. Valar dohaeris." I nodded and released him while giving a smile to the second one and a trainee.

We went to the house where the children were kept, It was a long time ago that I got myself a herd of goats, meh, it is always fun. The mansion began to stink like a goat, but we got to the little dragons, we gathered their things, robbed the place clean, and left. The kids were Teleported on the ship, while we did our Tour of the city, telling the backers of the pirate nest to find new pirates.

With this setup, the continent was almost covered. When all the contracts were signed, we took a portkey home. Daffy and Bernie hated Portkey's and let it know.

We let the Little Snot in the care of the head maid and told her to be strict because they had fooled the boy he was the Dragon Prince of Targaryen. Daffy and Bernie were introduced to the staff as our new pets. Little Snot tried to claim Bernie as his personal dragon, well, it will grow back eventually.

Little Snot did not learn the lesson and tried Daffy. Astoria was just in time to prevent another burning and gave him a good spanking while telling him little worms can only dream to be dragons, she changed into her animagus form and roared in his face. The maids had to clean the shit and pis away.

After that, it got better. We started on our second ship, the little dragons helped, starting to learn magic, Without my Inventory, I only could let them learn the Skill Books from the citadel.

We made the Noble a shareholder in our company for five percent, for use of the iron ore from his mines. We could just take it, but he is a neighbor, so we play nice.

I send a Patronus to Elia to say we were successful, but need to reeducate the eldest, it will take six months, give or take a month.

I said to him: "Little Shit, now that you realized you are not a dragon, it is time you learn what it means to be a Noble or do you think the only thing you have to do is sit on a chair in your hall?"

Little Shit: "I am going to be King! I am going to sit on the Iron Throne!" I grinned: "Oh yes? Here sign this paper that you name me the next king and you renounce your throne. Do it or I kill you right now!" I conjured a block of wood next to him and split it with one stroke. I yelled at him: "Now! Or die!" With shaking hands he took the quill and signed."

I tore the paper up and said: "Do you understand now Little Shit? Yelling that you are king doesn't mean Shit to me or the men in power. You need the skills with the blade and commanding to conquer it, and the skills of the mind to keep it yours. You got neither. You are a spoiled Little Shit that is kept stupid, to be played with as a puppet. We starting practice tomorrow morning with blades. In the afternoon lessons from the books. When I don't call you Little Shit anymore after six months then you are on the right path. Go to your room, this is your last free day."

Little Daenerys was a ray of sunshine in the house, at three years, she was the Joy of the three dragons, it is a bit confusing, I'll call them snakes again. There are too many dragons. Daffy and Bernie were attracted to her and often played with her, often jealously watched by the little shit, I slapped the back of his head.

I said: "Little Shit, there is no reason to be jealous of your sister, she let the dragons come to her to play. She didn't grab them as a piece of toy. In two months, three more dragons will hatch, if you want to play with them you know what to do, but they never will be yours, they are bonded with magic."

After two months, the training started to pay off, every day I spelled Clear Mind on him, his studies of math and management were good too. Slowly he changed from a spoiled boy to… a less spoiled one, he still has a long way to go.

Obara had a fierce black and red dragon she called him Oby, Nymeria a black and blue, called Elly Tyene a golden one called Beauty. Don't look at me, they named them themselves, that's what I will tell Oberyn. Anyway, they allowed the Little Shit to play with them.

We started on our third ship, the private cabins were less luxurious, but still way above local standards. We had no problem finding a captain or crew. Two months after that the fourth ship got started, to the frustration of the spies, they could not get close to the shipyard or on the ships. The minute they want to board with the intention to steal our secrets they are rejected, as explained by booking a passage, no refunds of course.

In the fifth month, Viserys heard his name from me for the first time. He was so happy he almost cried. He still has a long way to go, but there is a chance now for him to make something from his life.

Elia and Oberyn came to fetch the Targaryens by ship, our Metal ships were doing good business as cruise ships. We greeted them at our mansion. Stunned they looked at the five dragons, two beside us and three on his daughter's shoulders.

Carefully they approached us. Elia said: "Dragons Harry? Do you have more surprises? I don't think I can handle more."

Astoria laughed: "Let us first break bread and salt, your two wards are awaiting you. And Oberyn, Obara can't wait for a spar with you." We settled the guests, most of the guards and handmaidens were already here the first time. They almost had a battle for a spot.

Elia bonded almost instantly with little Dani, while Oberyn took a shine with Viserys. Elia brought her children along, they connected well with Dani and Viserys. Ellaria had her first child along and it was being pampered by the three snakes.

One big happy fucking family. After dinner, we went to my office, I still can't call the thing a solar. With a pensive, I showed what I did with Viserys to get the delusions out of his head. I said to Elia: "That boy needs a strong hand to teach him the real-life, no ass kissers or yes-men. There is still some madness in him, but then again, so is in all of us."

Astoria chuckled: "Admit you enjoyed calling him Little Shit, Harry." I blew her a kiss and just nodded: "Just don't get him on a throne. A lord or landed knight yes, but no king. That would bring the worst out of him. And no, I won't help anyone to sit on that scrap iron seat.

So tell me, did Varys succeed to kill Little Finger? And how close did he get to the drunk? I got his chances on fifty-fifty."

Oberyn glared at me: "We wondered why Varys seems to go mad, he killed Little Finger, and was quite close to off the drunken stag. The rumors that the prince is a bastard are driving a wedge between the stags and lions. The boy is as blond as his mother, with green eyes as a pure Lannister. Tell me, these wards are influencing me again?"

I nodded: "Cercei is as crazy as a bat, she heard too many stories of twins who share one soul. 1000 Dragons that Jaime is the daddy."

Ellaria: "We would be fools if we take that bet. Robert send half of the Lannisters home, Jaime included, and called Stormlanders in. Lady Arryn got a nervous breakdown when she heard Bealish got killed, starting some nasty rumors about her kid. Some are even jokingly calling this the Era of the Bastards."

Oberyn: "What are your plans now? With five Dragons you can take any nation over." Astoria answered: "That is too much work, my husband has no patience for idiots and the courts are filled with them. We want to have a good time. We do need to visit Valyria, and I want to sink some Iron Born. Harry! We need some salt wives!" I looked puzzled: "We do?" Astoria said: "Sure we do! If the Iron Born needs them then surely we do too."

I sighed and looked at Elia: "The Iron Born will go raiding in 288 or 289, it depends on how weak the country is, so we will pay them a visit soon, do you need a bunch of raped and abused women?"

Elia looked around and answered: "You have room here, and a lot of warehouses, the hills around here are fertile, there will be volunteers enough to fuck them."

Oberyn joked: "The Iron Born are already dead, you just have to bury them, as they say: what is dead can never die."

Xxxxx

When we said goodbye, I said to Viserys: "Viserys, take care of your family, those are the most important people in your life. Take care Little Man." I know! I had to say something, this was a compilation of several goodbye scenes from movies. But it did the trick, I hope.

The next ship was The Reaver, the front is reinforced so it can ram a ship and just split it in two.

It could sail, it wasn't needed though, I developed a good engine that ran on hydrogen, that we extracted with magic from the sea. We recruited sailors that lost families to the Iron Born. It is equipped for a year at sea. Food on stasis, a load of arrows, and enchanted weapons were the last details, and our own Reaver is ready to get some salty wives.

We found a good captain for it, Edward Teach. I gave him the rundown of the ship, explained the engines and sails, demonstrated the compass along with the maps, and set him off to hunt pirates and Iron Born. The communication books kept us informed. That network is steadily growing, by now we finished a ship each month, and still, the captains are standing in line for one.

Teach started to do some damage, he discovered where the Iron-born hid their new ships and went on a rampage, pun intended. Teach was roaring with laughter when he played bumper car with his ship and sank a whole fleet. I think he broke a record, over a hundred ships on one day.

With no sails and neutral coloring, the Reaver was hard to spot, it took a half year to find them all, the biggest thing the Iron-born have left are fishing boats. When they protested Doran Martell answered: "It must have been a captain that went rogue. You do understand, do you? There were a lot of them the last century coming from your islands, and as you always told us: we can't be held responsible for every action a captain alone does on his own."

Elia send a message that it made Doran's year. When Teach returned to restock his supplies, we gave the engine a revision to see if it held on. The auto repair ward we developed did wonders. We started to recall the other ships to install the new type of engine.

Teach went pirate hunting again, soon he became infamous, The Grey ghost was the most used name. Astoria and I took a trip to Valyria. We kept Daffy and Bernie at home, when you did it once, then the thrill is gone, the hard part was making new brooms and enough storage rings.

We cruised the coastline, summoning valyrian steel, just like the last level the loot was big, the mainlands delivered 33 eggs and a lot of gold and jewelry, Books about magic and Blacksmithing, it made Astoria say: "We should have done this two years earlier."

I shrugged: "We have enough, our armor and weapons are better now that we unblocked the rest of the Dungeons."

Bragging 45

When we got home we took a week to sort through the goodies, letting to girls train their Observe, I recognized Brightroar between the pile of swords, I said to Astoria: "Sell it as fast as you can to Tywin honey before he notices his mines run dry.

Xxxxx

Finally! My Familiar Storage Dimension is unlocked! B&B came out roaring into the sky. That day the Dragons came officially back in Westeros when a Weyr of twelve dragons flew through Dorne, the little ones rested sometimes on Benny, but it was awesome to fly again with them. We hunted some wild deer and scared the shit out of everyone. We might have made a detour over some cities in the Reach too. That evening I put the dragons in my dimension and we Teleported home.

That left us with the salt wives, now that the fleet is destroyed, food will be scarce. At night, we scouted the villages, every woman or girl that was starving got a portkey slapped on them and they went away to Dorne. They were easy to spot, most were kicked out of the house to save food. At home, they were welcomed with a bowl of soup and bread.

We worked all through the night and the following day. After a quick nap, we continued, partly because we were responsible for the food shortage. We worked invisibly, those idiots thought the Drowned god was taken them, when someone wanted to help their god to throw them in the water, I cut them in two.

A few days later we were done, we were exhausted, we displaced more than twenty thousand women and children. We popped over to the reach to buy supplies, the local Lord tried to double the price with my big order. I shook my head and said: "Actions as these can get you killed you know. I don't mind you earning a fair price but I am not an honorable Northerner." I conjured a flame in my hand and ask the noble: "How much did I owe you?" We did get a fair price after all.

The Noble shat his pants when we loaded them up in our storage rings, and Teleported out.

Intimidation 46

Tywin came personally to collect Brightroar, donating one point five million Dragons to the cause. With that money, we began to sort the women, the ones that wanted to stay and the ones that wanted to go home. When they experienced the facilities, most wanted to stay. What do I do with twenty thousand women?

Tittle unlocked: Bunny Hopper.

Fuck them yourself! I even didn't touch Obara and she had her Ten and Five name day last month. Astoria and I spend weeks building homes in the hills, next to a river, it was good farmland, and I am fucking doing it again! Trying to solve all problems myself and drowning in them.

Xxxxx

The message came in that I am going to be a Noble, I joked at Astoria: "I am going to be a knight in shiny armor, I better protect my eyes on the battlefield
