"Capture 'em! We'll fuck 'em- Glrk!" The little red goblin fucker that was running his mouth ended up having his life choked out by my vine. I am quite sure that my face right now has the most disgusted frown that I could ever manage as I willed my whip to sprout large thorns, riddling the monster's neck with gaping holes.

The other four goblins just stared at their struggling companion until he dropped dead, to which I unhooked my vine and sent it towards the next one, but this time I wrapped it around the throats of two goblins instead of one. I'm not feeling merciful after hearing that shit.

Rapist trash. Just great.

Aurash took down a goblin with her bow, taking advantage of their shock to take it out, followed by me taking out the last one with a large rock to the head as I tore the throats of the other two goblins open with my vine.

I tore my gaze away from their corpses and I scowled. I'm pretty sure these fuckers weren't in the game. Could they have been inside the other Elder Scrolls games? I never played the others unfortunately, just Skyrim, and I was planning on trying The Elder Scrolls Online in the future. Before I got pulled here, that is.

Or are they addition from another game altogether? They do look familiar after all. Red skinned goblins…

From which game do they come from? It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't seem to grasp it.

Ah whatever, I'll find out eventually.

Well, this just shows that I can't rely on my monster knowledge either. Fantastic. There might still be the monsters that were in the game, but I presume there will be quite a few additions. I seriously hope there is some sort of bestiary in Whiterun or Riverwood.

"Well, at least we are closer to Riverwood." Aurash states, drawing me out of my thoughts as she points forward, where it's possible to see wooden walls through the crack between the trees. Will probably take five minutes or less to reach it.

Which brings me to another matter at hand.

I crouch down as I face Fluffy, stroking his fur as I give him a warm smile. He seemingly understands, and gives a soft little growl before licking the side of my face, then he turned around and rushed away, soon disappearing through the foliage.

"I can't believe I am going to say this, but I'll miss having a pet bear around." I snort at Aurash words before sighing and getting back up. I give my body a slight stretch then follow after Aurash as we head to Riverwood.

I glance back a couple of times during the walk, sad that I had to send Fluffy away, but I keep reminding myself that it's for his own good. I'll soon have to fight literal dragons and whatnot, and he could get killed by one of their breath attacks without a problem.

I do have that [Pets] tab but I do not know how it works yet, and I'd rather not tamper with my Gamer System while there are people around and start tapping the air. I'll have to be extremely careful about both reading and using it, it's a good thing I have Gamer Fanfiction experience!

I perked up when we neared the gates, the guards on each side throwing us a glance before ignoring us. Hadvar must have told them about our arrival if they aren't reacting or questioning us. The fact that the guards look exactly like in the game almost made me snort for some reason.

As we walk past them, I don't fail to notice the not so subtle looks they throw my way. Do I look weird or… Am I beautiful?! No, that's impossible, I should still have my nerdy looks! Even without my glasses… and with bigger tits and ass… I really should check myself out before trying to ruin my self-esteem even more.

"Oh, there he is." I perked up at Aurash words, looking ahead and seeing Hadvar waving at us as he stands in front of a large two story house, a forge attached to it's left side and a small farm to the right with at least two dozen chickens. Riverwood is truly much, much bigger than in the game. There are houses on the other side of the river too. And I'm pretty sure the large building down the road is the inn where a certain bitch resides. I'd rather throw her off the mountain than kill Paarthurnax. Ungrateful bitch. If it weren't for Paarthurnax betrayal, then Skyrim would still be under the dragon's rule. Forced to either worship them or be enslaved… or eaten.

Ah, I'm getting lost in my thoughts again, good thing I didn't miss anything that was said.

"It's a good thing you two survived." Hadvar stated as he approached us, his shoulders relaxing from relief. He's a good honest guy, there aren't many people like him here. "The bandits are dead right? Or was it too much?"

"They are all dead, but I suggest you send someone to get rid of the corpses before a Necromancer stumbles upon them." I state, causing him to gain a serious look and give me a nod. Necromancers aren't really well liked, mostly because an army of undead is terrifying. The more they kill, the more soldiers the Necromancer gains. Even just a clump of bones can be turned into a soldier, even if a very low quality one.

"I'll send someone later." He states, before gesturing towards the large two story house with a smile, "Let's go in, there's warm food and the bounty reward waiting for you two." I already have a warm pot of soup, but who am I to say no to some more free food?

I suppress a shiver at the thought of entering a house, even if it's made out of wood and stone. Damn, being a Nymph will be hard since I feel so disgusted at the mere thought of staying inside a city. I'll have to get used to it, and sometimes take breaks to camp in the forest so that I can be closer to nature and relax.

We soon enter the house and are greeted by the delicious smell of cooked meat, and I try hard not to drool. While I will never kill animals for food, I still eat meat and won't stop others from killing animals for food. I tried going without meat once, and i barely survived the week.

I blink and take a look around to familiarize myself with the building. Just like in the game, the living room and fire place are right at the entrance, but they are just that much bigger. On the right are two rooms, and between the two doors is a shelf filled with books.

On the left is a large table stuffed with food, beside the table is another shelf, this filled with cups and silverware, all made out of wood of course. After the table there are two staircases, one going down, and the other going up. All in all, it's a very nice looking house. Now if only this discomfort would just fuck off. I take slow, calming breaths as I clench my slightly shaking hands into fists. It doesn't work much, but it helps.

"Hey…" I jolt slightly at Aurash words, noticing the worried frown she was giving me, "Are you okay? You look pale…" I flick my eyes around the room, noticing that it's just the two of us by the door. There was another man by the fire place, his back to us, and wearing a red shirt that looked too small around his large frame and black pants. The light brown hair makes me think it's Alvor.

"Y-yeah…" I release a shaky breath before forcibly calming myself down. I could feel Gamer's Mind waves of calm, but they aren't really working now for some reason. "It's just…" I bite my lower lip, mulling over my words before I speak up again, "Tell them that I'm sorry, but I-I can't stay here. I don't feel too good." I take a step back towards the door, feeling bile rise up my throat, but I force it down. My ears were starting to ring, and I could feel the pounding of my own heart ramming hard against my chest. It was painful, it hurt, I felt disgusted, and the moment I looked at my hands I only saw blood dripping from them.

"Flora." Two large hands grabbed the sides of my face and forced me to look into bright blue eyes. "Take a deep breath through the nose, and release it through your mouth." I did as she instructed, my breathing still erratic. My body refused to calm down as I kept seeing the corpses of the people I killed just flash before my eyes. I know I needed to do that to survive, but only a monster would feel nothing after taking a life!

Aurash threw a look back, my situation somehow didn't attract attention, and Hadvar had either gone downstairs or upstairs, or inside one of the rooms. She turned back towards me and pulled out the large bag of Septims we found in the mine, then placed it in my arms. "Take this, go outside and calm down, I'll join you later okay?" I nod my head, appreciating the huge amount of trust she is putting on me by giving me all this gold. I throw the bag into my Inventory with a thought, and after taking yet another calming breath I exit the house and just bolt to the left. The gates leading to the bridge over the river where right in front of me, and I just ran right through them and further down the road.

I stopped once I reached the bridge, where I pulled my hair back and threw up everything in my stomach behind a tree. I coughed several times, my eyes stinging with tears as I shakily walked down to the river and entered it, letting the cool water reach my knees.

I gathered some water and washed my face and rinsed my mouth, it was very cold, but it felt wonderful for me. The ringing in my ears was gone, and my breathing was calming down, but no matter how many times I looked at my hands, I still saw them covered in blood.

"Okay, okay…" I took a deep breath, sitting by the edge of the river, and resisting the urge to wash my hands.

I had to do it, I had to kill those people. Both the bandits and the Stormcloaks. The bandits could have killed or done something far worse than death to anyone that might be walking down that road at night. The Stormcloaks would have killed me if I didn't fight back.

But did I have to kill them after they were incapacitated by the fire?

Yes! Yes, I had to. I put them out of their misery. They were hurt, unable to walk and in pain, and would have either been killed off by Aurash and Hadvar, or would have died of starvation after the path outside collapsed. Or the hooded guard could have killed them off too after he came back to his senses. They would have died either way.

I feel disgusted with myself, but I'll have to get used to it. This world is cruel, the rule 'Kill or be Killed' is a thing here, so I'll keep getting my hands dirty until I grow strong enough where my word makes everyone shut the fuck up and listen, and where I can afford to spare someone and tell them to piss off.

A wave of calm makes my hands stop shaking, and my breathing calms down fully. I wipe the tears at the corner of my eyes away before looking down into the water.

Wow, I'm beautiful. And I never thought I'd ever say that.

Emerald green eyes, thin eyebrows, long pointed ears and long hair that reached the back of my butt. I can't even come close to explain the colour of my hair now that I have some proper light. It's a mix between the colour of ash and gold. It's darker in colour on top of my head and at the tips, while it's very light in between.

I hope I do not stand out too much for my current beauty.

I sighed through my nose as I kicked my feet in the water. I can't help but wonder why I was sent here. Am I a source of entertainment for some bored OP being? I've seen that quite often in Gamer stories after all.

Oh well, I'd rather not think about it. Might as well learn how my own System works. I look around before lowering my head slightly and whispering, "Menu."

[Status]

[Inventory]

[Skills]

[Group]

[Pets]

I already know what Status, Inventory and Skills do, so I press onto the Group tab, causing it to enlarge.

[Group System: When fighting alongside others, the Gamer still gains experience even from targets that he/she has not killed, but said experience received is halved. But for this effect to take place the Gamer needs to 'add' those specific people to the group. Those added to the group will grow in power alongside the Gamer, albeit at a much slower pace.]

[Current Group;

Aurash;

…]

Oh, a tutorial! Joy!

Anyway, it's basically a party system. Quite bland, but I do like it honestly, it's simple and useful. Becoming strong and leaving someone in the dust because they cannot grow like you do would be very sad, especially since it might be someone you care about. And while I don't have the ID: Create skills, there are the Dungeons here, which are kinda the same.

But when did I add Aurash to the group? Was it when I considered sticking around with her before we took out the bandits? Or did I subconsciously add her?

I shrug and flick my wrist, letting the enlarged box go back to normal and let the Menu appear once more before pressing the Pets tab.

[Pets System: When the gamer tames, or forcefully enslaves an animal or monster, they will become the Gamer's companions until they die, or are set free. Tamed or Enslaved Pets grow stronger alongside the Gamer. There is the risk that Enslaved Pets might refuse to follow an order, or even attack the Gamer when they least expect it.

Pets can be sent to the Pet Space with a single touch and thought, where they can recover from their injuries without worry.

To tame pets, the Gamer must acquire their full trust before asking them if they wish to join her. The offer can be either accepted or refused.]

Okay, I love this Gamer System. I can tame animals and have them grow stronger with me?! Hell to the fucking yes! This is pretty much a dream come true for me! If I knew about this I wouldn't have sent Fluffy away! Dang it!

Of course I'll never enslave a pet, I'd rather they follow me willingly than just put the fear of death into them, bring them away from their home and then fight against horrifying things. I'd rather kill myself that do that.

I sigh and shake my head before closing the windows, giving my body a stretch as I look up at the sky. It was getting dark, and the sky was bathed a dark orange. The light was coming from beyond the mountain where Bleak Falls Barrows is, casting the whole of Riverwood in it's shadow.

I looked up at the mountain, seeing the Nordic Tower and the path that would lead to Bleak Fall Barrow. All of it was covered in snow, and it makes me wonder if there are bandits there. The thief will definitely be there too, and I should really go back and see if I can buy some books about Restoration, Destruction and Enchanting.

With a hum, I raise my hand up, letting it light up with Flames, before I face my palm towards the lake a release it. A long stream of scorching fire flows out of my hand, not just my palm, and stretches out for at least six meters before dispersing. I presume Sparks will do the same.

But still, how will I learn spells? In the game, you just clicked on the Spell Tome, you'd learn the spell and the book would disappear. Obviously that won't work here.

I raise my hand up, palm facing towards the sky. I clench my hand slightly, letting the flames gather and cover my hand and not flow out in a stream. I pump magic into my hand, and I watch as the flames grow slightly bigger and hotter, and as I slowly clench my fingers into a fist, I watch the flames gather and form a small palm sized sphere of flames. But just as I wanted to throw it, it dispersed.

I frowned and tried again, pumping more magic into my hand, but again, the flame sphere dispersed just when I wanted to throw it.

Wait, I think I understand! I can level them up, meaning that I'll only be able to use Novice level spells until I reach level 25, then I can create and use Apprentice level spells, then after level 50 I'll be able to use Adept level spells, level 75 for Expert and level 100 for Master level spells.

It has to work this way! Because I can already somehow create a Firebolt, but I can't shoot it. And I have to admit that this is quite exciting! Maybe I'll be able to create my own spells? That would be so cool!

But it's sad that I can't use Ice type magic for some reason, that would be very useful. Are people born with affinities or something like that? Is that why I can't use it? So many questions.

Oh well, I might as well go back now. My chest still hurts a bit, and my hands are just a bit shaky, but I can handle this. Restoration magic might be able to help soothe the pain, but I'd rather feel every bit of it.

I've always been a coward, running away from things that I can't handle, but now it's different. Here I can't run away. I don't even know if the Higher Being that sent me here will erase me if he/she gets bored watching me just run and hide. And I don't know if I can even hide here as dragons will soon be all over the place, maybe even more than in the game, and I won't always be able to hide forever.

Gamer's Mind is helping keep my cowardice in check, and all of this will make me stronger, to the point where I won't be a coward anymore and can face anything head on even without the help of Gamer's Mind.

I slap my cheeks a few times before releasing a deep breath, then perking up when I hear the sound of heavy footsteps behind me. I turn towards the road just in time to notice Aurash come into view. I was partially hidden from view by the bridge, bushes and trees, but my head should still be visible. I start waving my right arm above my head just to be sure, and she soon catches sight of me and walks over.

"You look much better." She stated, taking a seat beside me but not dipping her legs inside the cool water. Pretty sure this water is incredibly cold, but I'm immune to it thanks to my Title. "I told Hadvar that you weren't feeling good, then helped him explain what happened at Helgen. And now Alvor, Hadvar's uncle, wants me to go to Whiterun and tell the Jarl to send some troops over, while also warning them about the dragon threat." She grumbles and shakes her head, obviously not liking the fact that she was given an errand by a stranger, on the same day she survived being executed. To not speak about how she survived Alduin right after.

"At least I can use their forge and tanning rack, I need to make us some new clothes." The fact that she is thinking about me too makes me smile. She truly is a good woman at heart, otherwise she wouldn't have given me all that gold for nothing. How long have I been out here anyway?

"Thanks for thinking about me too." I told her with a smile, before giving her a grin. "As thanks, we can take a trip in that crypt up there before we go to Whiterun." I point at the top of the mountain, where Bleak Falls Barrow is. Her gaze drifts towards it, and then the most excited look I've ever seen appears on her face. She looks like a kid that is about to open a Christmas present.

"I would have dragged you there either way." She states, before snorting at my wide eyed gaping expression. "I'm joking! If you ended up refusing, I would have just annoyed you the whole time while we walked towards Whiterun." I just pinched the bridge of my nose while smiling. Still, she is a huge breath of fresh air. I know she is trying to distract me, and she might or might not know the reason on why I had a breakdown. Either way, this makes me like her more and shows me that she will definitely be good company.

"I'm pretty sure you would have gone there by yourself if I had refused." My words were proven right when she turned away and started whistling. I just shake my head with a short laugh before I lean back and look up at the darkening sky. Another ten minutes and it will be dark outside. I can already see the stars actually, and since there is no light pollution here the stars will be perfectly visible.

"You know…" I speak up as something suddenly comes to my mind. I had already noticed it back when I was at Helgen, but then shit kept happening and I forgot about it. "You look very different from the Orcs I am used to. Like, you don't have the protruding fangs." I stated as I gave her a curious look. The Orcs in Skyrim all had those big lips and protruding fangs out of them, and also those mean looking faces too. They all look so pissed too for some reason, or am I imagining it?

"Fangs?" Aurash gives me a confused look as she touches her purple lips, then her eyes light up with understanding. "You are confusing me for an Orsimer!" She laughs at me while my confusion deepens. Isn't she an Orsimer? I mean, that's pretty much the way Skyrim calls Orcs no?

"I am an Orc, not an Orsimer." Aurash explains once she notices my confusion, "Orcs are smarter than the Orsimers. Orsimers are stronger than the Orcs, but when they use their Berserkers powers, they all loose their sanity too. Us Orcs do not loose our sanity when using our Berserker power, we just become a bit slow in the head while it's active. While we are smarter and are better at forging than Orsimers, they are much better fighters than them." So there is such a thing. That actually sounds quite cool honestly. It's like the difference between the elves. After all, there are the Aldmeri, the Wood Elves and the Dark Elves. I won't be surprised if the other races have more variants too. At least, until the Argonians don't have a Draconian variant, that would be both cool and scary.

"My mother was an Orsimer, while my father was an Orc, and I got the best from both. Powerful body from my mother, and intelligence from my father." So she is a half-breed. Those are a thing too now, I shouldn't really be surprised. Wonder what a mix between two different races looks like.

"What about your hair? Where did you get them from?" I ask as I look at her frankly beautiful bright white hair. They fit her so well too, which gives her a different kind of beauty. Honestly, not only is she very sexy, but is also beautiful.

"Oh these? My hair and eyes changed after my little brother pranked me with a potion of his making, which was both good and bad." I instantly felt bad at bringing up her hair colour as I could feel the sadness in her voice as she spoke about her little brother. She either misses him or…

"I pranked him one day, causing him to soil his bed, and he spent an entire week planning his vengeance. One day he mixed a potion of his making into my water, and next thing I know, my hair and eyes changed colour." She shakes her head with a fond smile as she gathers some of her hair in her hands, staring at them for a bit before letting them go. "Albeit the potion did somehow awaken my magic, which became a blessing in disguise." So not everyone is born with the ability to use magic, but it can be activated somehow? Could a Magicka Potion do it? Or are they really pricey? They might actually be, because the ingredients take time to grow and gather. And can potion alter someone's appearance? Or just hair and eye colour? I'll have to grab a book about Alchemy too, might be useful.

"What about you? You don't look like neither a Dunmer, and even though you love nature and animals seem to like you, you don't look like a Bosmer either. And if you were an Aldmeri I would have already punched you in the face, but you don't have that ugly ass yellow skin." Wow, racist much Aurash? I mean, I hate the Thalmors, but not the whole race! That would just be mean!

"Oh, that's because I'm a Nymph. A Wood Nymph to be exact." I answered her as I turned my head back to staring at my reflection in the water. My bright emerald green eyes staring back at me. They looked so beautiful and bright! Much better than my old dull brown eyes.

I blinked and turned my head back towards Aurash after not hearing anything for a bit, only to find her giving me a confused frown. What? Did I say something wrong?

"You're kidding, right?" I tilt my head at her in confusion, which makes her frown some more. What? "Where did you live before you were bought to Helgen?" I kept my expression schooled and did not even twitch at her question. It was bound to come up sooner or later. Good thing I already have a good lie built up. But why did she have such a reaction? Are Nymphs dangerous or do they not exist here? If so, I may have just fucked myself over without realizing.

"I actually don't know." This causes her to frown even more somehow, but I continue before she can say anything. "I used to live alone in a large forest, away from civilization, and sometimes months went by before I saw another human, or elf, or any of the other races. In fact, today I had just gone off to sleep after staying awake all night. When I woke up I was in that cell at Helgen, and a few minutes later you and Hadvar came down. So I don't know if I am a native to Skyrim or I am from somewhere else." By the end of my big ass lie, I glance at the gaping and horrified Aurash. She soon closes her mouth and takes a long, cold breath through her nose as she runs a hand along her hair, making me worry more and more.

"That can't be possible." She states, and seeing my still confused look her expression hardens, before it softens with worry, and her next words chill me to the core. "Flora, Nymphs have gone extinct during the Merethic Era."

Oh. Oh, shit. That's like… four thousand years ago right? Fuck! How can I explain this shit now?! Maybe I can admit to bullshitting her and tell her I am a half-breed like her? But I feel like it's too late for that now.

"Hey, calm down." Seeing my growing panic, Aurash puts one of her large hands on my shoulder and gives me a slight shake, making me meet her gaze. "Could you be a Time Tear Traveller?" The hell is that now… I give her a very confused look, hoping that she would explain what a 'Time Tear Traveller' is, even though I might already have an inkling on what it might be.

"One hundred years ago, a man suddenly appeared in the Jarl court in Solitude. After being captured and questioned, the man kept claiming to be a soldier of King Harald, a famous man from the First Era. I don't know much about the rest as there are very few records about it, but he ended up becoming the personal guard of the Jarl of Solitude somehow, and died after some Thalmor fuckers tried to forcefully bring him away for more questioning. He fought back, killing all thirty of their soldiers before dying from the injuries he received. Many don't believe that he was from the First Era, but that he was just a very good soldier that knew history quite well." So things like this can actually happen? Where you are just minding your own business and suddenly you are thousands of years in the future? That is just so fucking terrifying! It sounds like what happened to me, but I didn't jump between past and future, I world hopped! My body also changed and I got powers and magic too!

"When people looked back to old records, they found that something like this has already happened twice. Once in Black Marsh, and once in Valenwood. I don't know much about those though." She said, then shook her head to get herself back on track and looking at me once more. "Anyway, Time Tears are invisible, small things that once you touch them, even with a finger, you instantly disappear. Only very powerful mages can sense them, but those kinds of mages are very rare, and they definitely don't go walking around in search of Time Tears. The last recorded Time Tear was more than thirty years ago, and they all appear either in Skyrim, or around Skyrim. Many say it's because someone used an Elder Scroll incorrectly. They appear randomly, and last between a few hours to a week. One might have appeared on your bed while you were sleeping… or something like that." She sighs and scratches her hand while groaning, and I really want to groan too right fucking now! Why did my race and backstory have to bring up such a fucking headache?! Why am I so unlucky!?

"Still, I suggest you hide your race as a half-breed between a Bosmer and a Nord, as you do look pretty similar to both of them put together. Hopefully, it lasts." Yeah, I definitely fucking will hide my race from now on! I don't want any more headaches! Who was the smart-ass that gave it to me anyway?!

I pinch the bridge of my nose and groan aloud. Whoever gave me this body and race fucking hates me! This is the worst day of my life! But at least this small mistake was with someone I think I can trust, so now I can just hide my race and say that I am a half-breed.

Though, the fact that I am wearing the prisoner robes seems to have slipped Aurash's mind, or she is just ignoring that. The robes alone should prove that I am not a Time Tear Traveller, after all, someone must have put me in them, no?

I shake my head and release a long groan, hugging my legs to my chest as I whine into them for a good few seconds before taking a deep breath. It's useless to worry and think too much about these things, this is just my first day here, and worrying too much is going to be useless because I still did not discover all of the changes that have been done to the world.

"Ah whatever!" I shout and stand up, throwing my arms in the air in exasperation. I almost even summoned Flames, but I held back since I am close to plants. I'd rather not accidentally start a forest fire on my first day in this world. "Let's just go back and get ready to leave by morning if we can. Hopefully there is a General Merch. store in town that is still open." I kick my wet legs a few times as Aurash stands back up, and I can't help but pout at how tall she is. Hell, she could rest her tits on my head!

That actually sounds hot…

I shake my head to drive away any kind of perverted thoughts as we walk back into town, the sky going dark and covered in millions of stars by the time we cross the gates. I can't help but gape at the beauty that is the starry sky, It's so breathtaking.

Focusing back on the road, and with more clarity than before, I take notice that the layout of the town hasn't changed much even though there are more than two dozen buildings than in the game.

The General Merch. store that gives you the Golden Claw mission was right in front of the forge, and the door was open, and with any luck I might still be able to buy anything I might need.

"Should I buy coats for the mountain?" I ask Aurash, whom shakes her head and points towards the forge with her right thumb. Oh right, she can use that to make clothes, that will be useful. Albeit it might take a while to sew some pelts together.

"Come with me first, I'll take your measurements real quick." I nodded my head and followed her into the open forge, much bigger than the game obviously. There were mannequins, sewing kits, weapons, shields, and all kinds of different tools.

I ended up T posing next to a mannequin for a few minutes while Aurash took the measurements of my arms, hips, chest, neck and thighs before I was free to go. I asked her to just make me a pair of shorts and a fitting shirt, both will cover everything that must be covered and are similar to my current prisoner's robes, as they don't give me much discomfort and don't make me want to go around wearing loincloths to cover everything. I shudder just thinking about that because I feel that it's just so right, yet so wrong!

I shook my head and then went ahead towards the store. Luckily, it had the sign of a pouch hanging outside from the second floor, and that should be the sign for the 'General Merch.' store hopefully.

I knock loudly against the open door as I leaned in, noticing the man sitting behind the counter with the woman right beside him reading a book. They both turned towards me at the knock, and my eyebrow twitched when the man, Lucas or Lucan if I remember right, just started gaping at me with a wide mouth. Great. This feels so weird.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but is this the General Merch. store?" I asked softly, even though the many shelves and chests should point out that yes, it's a store. I'm glad I see so many books too. Hopefully I can find some of the things I may need.

I start to get nervous when I don't receive an answer for a few seconds, and the girl beside the man turns to him and slaps the back of his head hard, snapping him out of his very rude staring. He recovers with a cough and puts on a professional smile after giving the woman a quick glare.

"Yes, this is the store you were looking for. I am Lucan, this is my sister Camilla, how may we help you miss?" I sigh and walk into the store, ignoring his glances towards two certain objects as I glance at the books and shelves. Some of the books have the familiar colour that spells tomes have, while others are mostly stories or poems. Let's just hope that any magic related books are still called the same.

"Do you have any books about Alchemy and Enchanting? And maybe some Destruction and Restoration tomes?" The girl, Camilla, blinks at my request before she nods her head and walks around the counter. I follow after her as she walks along the shelves and picks rather small book about Alchemy, a fairly large one about Enchanting, and two small ones about Destruction and Restoration magic. Not that I mind them being small or big, as long as I know how everything works then it's money well spent, I can easily make it all back once in Whiterun if my plans work out.

"Here you go miss. Anything else?" She gives me the books and I hum, glancing at the shelves with a slight frown, before I feel my face flush slightly as I lean towards her, I'd rather not be heard by Lucan.

"Do you have any female undergarments?" Camilla blinks, before giving me a kind smile and walking off without a word, making me sigh in relief. I'd rather not go around all commando for as long as I can. I still need to get used to this body and it's needs to be almost fully naked. Maybe in the future I'll feel comfortable doing that, but not now.

She soon came back with a small pelt covered package and I thanked her profusely, before following her to pay for the things I ordered.

I had to pay a total of 225 Septims, it was neither too much nor too little, and I expect the more advanced books to cost in the thousands.

The large Enchanting book was the one that costed the most, it was 100 Septims. While the tomes were 50 each, the Alchemy book being 20 and the undergarments being 5 Septims. Besides, the bandits had more than 700 Septims in their chest, quite a bit of money.

I thank them profusely before leaving and going back to the forge across the street, where I can see my outfit was already done. Damn, this woman works fast! She sewed it all together faster than I bought some books, what the hell!?

"You work fast!" I whistled as I stared at the dark brown clothes, the insides had fur, which would keep one very warm and comfy. By the looks of it, the shorts would go halfway down my thighs, and the shirt had short sleeves and would be long enough to be tucked inside the shorts. All in all, they looked very comfy.

"It was beaten into me." Aurash stated with a shiver, and it was quite funny seeing such a giant woman scared of something. "When I was little, the woman that used to teach me how to sew would give you assignments. If you didn't do them or complete them, not only would she beat you, she would also double the assignment and make it harder. Needless to say, I got good fast." Well, if that isn't a terrifyingly effective way of teaching then I don't know what is. Just imagine failing your last piece and getting a horrifying beating from an Orc woman and then getting your assignment doubled! I'd run away from that place.

"Will you be able to get enough sleep when you are done?" I asked her as I sat the books and pelt package down on a nearby table with ingots and pelts. I do not know how much stuff she is planning to make, but I hope she'll be able to get more than five hours of sleep. I don't plan on sleeping tonight in order to read the books, and mostly because I'll definitely have some horrible nightmares.

"Don't worry, will just take one or two hours, maybe even less." She hummed, before turning towards the table where I sat my books and nodding towards it. "What did you buy? Magic tomes?"

"Yeah, and a book about Alchemy and Enchanting, with undergarments." Which reminds me… I take a look around to see that there is no one outside or staring at us, then open the package and pull out a pair of normal panties. I was expecting this world to have granny-like briefs but I am pleasantly surprised that it's not them.

I slip the panties on since I am fully open beneath the potato sack prison rags, then remove the shorts from the mannequin and slip them on. They are incredibly comfy and fit perfectly, and the fur inside is so soft too!

I throw the rest of the package with undergarments inside my inventory as the shirt wouldn't be loose enough that each step would make my breasts bounce too much.

I remove the prisoner robes and then grab the shirt, slipping it on and finding that it is indeed quite the snug, much better than the very loose potato sack. They do reveal a fair amount of cleavage but I can get used to that easily.

I turned towards Aurash to compliment her about how nice the clothes feel, only to pause when I caught her turning away. Was she staring at me?

"The clothes are perfect and feel so nice!" I say, deciding to shrug those thoughts off. I mean, I was the one that got changed right in front of her, she might have been looking to check if the clothes she made fitted me.

"Oh, there you guys are!" I jolt and flip around, only to relax when I realize it's just Hadvar. He was now in more casual clothing, but had a large bag thrown over his shoulder. "I'm glad to see you are doing better." He smiled at me before setting the large bag down beside the table, and I could faintly smell the scent of blood coming from it. Was there meat inside?

"My uncle had me prepare some rations for when you leave. They can last up to a week. There's both dry and fresh meat." He dusted off his hands and looked towards Aurash, and seeing her focused on sewing a shirt for herself he decided to quietly leave after giving me a nod. Pretty sure Aurash is ignoring him. I think she is mad that they dropped such a duty on her, a stranger, after she had even cleared their mines from bandits. I don't think they are even paying us to do it, but oh well.

"What do you plan on making?" I ask her after Hadvar left, sitting down and grabbing the Destruction spell tome and placing it on my lap. I might as well start reading now. And I am so glad that I can read this language somehow.

"I'll just make some clothes for me, then get to work on some coats for me and you. I won't bother with making armour as it will take far too long, good thing I stole some pelt armour from the bandits we killed at the mine, I can just resize it for me." Must have grabbed some of their armour when I went to steal their food, or perhaps there was some inside their storage room.

I leaned back as we fell into a comfortable silence, and I soon fully immersed myself into the book.

Destruction Magic was simple, it worked through imagination. Any mage has an affinity they are born with, on very rare cases one has two, and there are no recorded cases of having all three elements.

Once you summon your element, or elements, you can either release them/it forward in waves, or try and manipulate it with your imagination, but that needs a large amounts of magic and skill. Once one can shape their element into a bolt then they can be considered an Apprentice Mage.

When an Apprentice Mage wants to be promoted to an Adept Mage, they must learn and skilfully use a Rune Trap spell, one that corresponds to their element, and make sure that it's three meters in diameter. Only then will they be promoted to an Adept Mage.

The Adept Mage must learn how to perfectly cast a Cloak Spell without electrocuting, freezing or burning themselves, and making sure that it harms only their enemies and not their allies. Once they did that, they are promoted to Expert Mages.

There is nothing about how to gain the Master Mage title, but it's probably related to casting the Storm Spells or something similar. But so far, magic pretty much works just as I thought, which is fantastic.

I did learn that once someone has their Mana unlocked, they have an invisible magic shield sticking to their skin that grants them slight protection against all magical spells. Lightning Spells eat away at a target Mana (And yes, Mana, not Magicka) while also burning and slightly electrocuting them. So the bandits had no Mana and that's why I was able to electrocute them that hard, because they had no protection to it.

Flames can slightly ignore that Mana barrier and still badly burn the target, but that's it, no bonus damage like in the game, because that's silly here and there is no numerical amount of damage to be done or calculate.

Frost magic instead can quickly tire out the target, making every movement they make much more strenuous, and can also freeze a target's limbs or whole body.

And then there was a large list of spells that will definitely come in handy. Some sounded both cool and terrifying.

Like creating a swarm of flaming locusts, or throwing a large phoenix of cold wind and sharp ice shards. There are a lot of choices from all classes above Novice, and I can't wait to try all of them, or at least, those that I like and find cool and strong.

I glance up to see that Aurash was already done with her clothes and the first large cloak and just got started on the second one.

I close the Destruction tome and put it into my inventory, then give a cursory glance at the Alchemy book. It was filled with a few potions and a lot of plants and ingredients for them. I don't think I'll get into Alchemy, but if I can use my Growth Manipulation skill to grow said ingredients and get paid for it then it will be very welcome.

Too bad the prices for the potions aren't written down, else I could have come up for a price for my services, if one can even call them that.

"Say Aurash, how much do potions cost?" I asked her, making her perk up from her sewing and turn towards me. I see her frown and think about it before shrugging. "It depends. Healing Potions cost between 100 Septims to a 1000, depends on their quality. Mana Potions cost a 1000 Septims as they are hard to make since the ingredients take a lot to find and grow. Prices can be low or high depending also between how many they have in stock, and how many ingredients are left…" She pauses and slowly turns towards me, and we share a wide eyed look at our realization. I can grow plant related ingredients without a problem, and Adventurers can get paid to gather the other ones. I can create a constant influx of herbs, which means more potions to sell, and then i can also sell the excessive amount of herbs I create for more money towards other cities.

"I guess money won't be a problem…" I state, trying not to act too excited and to stop my shaking hands, but my jubilant grin is definitely giving me away.

Aurash just laughs and shakes her head, but still looks quite excited at the prospect of having a lot of money at hand. Because I definitely am going to share those profits with her. I also don't know what to do with all that money, maybe I can donate it?

I shake my head and decide to quickly take a look at the Restoration magic tome, because it's actually very useful, both for healing, but also for killing vampires and undead.

Restoration magic is focused on healing, protecting and attacking. It can cast singular or large area type healing spells, cast wards that protect from magical spells, and launch Sunfire, a holy type of flame that burns undead and vampires.

Healing spells can heal anything, be it small sicknesses or large wounds. Higher class spells can even regrow limbs and bones as long as the wound is still open.

Wards instead can protect from any type of spell from the same class, but can protect only from a single spell from a higher rank before it needs to be created once more.

Sunfire instead is similar to how Destruction Magic works, very few people have it, and it can be manipulated through imagination. And then there was a whole bunch of spells, not as many as the Destruction tome has, but they are still quite good and useful, especially the Sunfire, after all, I'll be going in a crypt full of undead tomorrow.

Two of the most useful spells are both the Sunfire Rune, an Adept Class spell that burns any non living or vampire targets within it's range, and the Sunfire Laser, an Expert Class spell that shoots a large laser of Sunfire.

I set the tome aside and call forth Healing in both of my hands. I never tried calling forth the Lesser Ward spell, and smiled when the golden glow from my hands turned into a silver coloured one.

I created it and watched as a sort of glass barrier appeared in front of my palm, growing to at least one meter in diameter before stopping. Once I stopped supplying Mana to the spell, the glass barrier quickly disappeared into nothing.

All my magic is doubled in power, meaning that a Lesser Ward is a pathetic half a meter in diameter, how can one protect himself with that small thing I don't know. One can just aim for the feet after all.

I tried to summon the Sunfire, and grinned when a silver and dark red glow appeared around my hands. The fire wasn't hot at all, and I can't really test it now since I don't have any undead targets around me. And I'd rather not throw any fire around since it's full of wood here.

"Here we go, all done." I perked up and saw Aurash taking the second cape off the mannequin and throwing it into her inventory, then once she saw me looking, threw my cape at me, burying me beneath it. I tossed it into my inventory with a thought and simply glared at her with a pout, but she completely ignored me and went to undress- Purple nipples!

I squeaked and turned away from that bouncy sight, throwing my books in my inventory and covering my face as she changed herself. It didn't take long for her to adorn the pelt armour she had grabbed from the bandits. She was wearing iron boots and gauntlets, both reaching her elbow and knees respectively. A knee length armoured pelt skirt that went past her knees, armoured pelt shoulder guards and chest piece. All in all, she was ready, but she looked quite tired.

"Come on, let's go camp outside." I told her, and she nodded her head and yawned, grabbed the large sack of food Hadvar bought us and threw it inside her storage, and then we exited town and went to make a camp on the other side of the bridge.

I easily gathered several logs by grabbing the branches of a tree, tearing them off, then making them grow with my skill, then set them on fire with flames. As I did that, Aurash sat herself against a tree and rolled up her pelt coat to use it as a pillow, leaned back against it and quickly fell asleep.

I quietly sat beside the fire, too scared of any nightmares I might have to go to sleep. Gamer Body won't make me feel tired, so there's that too.

I pulled out the Enchanting book, but I threw it back into my inventory, I'll read it another time.

I glance up at the mountain seeing a full moon shining right behind Bleak Falls Barrow, making it appear both beautiful and terrifying, before drawing my gaze away and deciding to just read through the spells in the Destruction tome, and maybe try and come up with some ideas for my own.

I don't think there is nothing to be worried about. I mean, it will be the same as it was in in the game, no? Just a bunch of undead, skeletons, a thief and a few bandits, that's it. I have spells to fight against all of them, and Aurash's here with me.

But something inside me tells me that a temple as big as that hosts an undead that is very, very fucking powerful.
