Mr. M, Mrs. J.K., Old age is catching up on me, I thought the previous chapter to end in suspense by wanting to summon Companions that are living here… I already did that! I had to correct my mistake and let local Lucinda die of infection some years ago. It is a good thing I do this for free, or I get fired.

Four days later the sand snakes gave their answer, Obara said: "We will allow it on a few conditions. First: if those are separate girls or copies, we want a full set of everything you would give to them and a million Dragons each. Second: if they are copies, you have to make them your age so everyone will notice the difference between us. Third: If they blend with us, you let us choose to be with you or stay single. Fourth: If these girls erase us from existing, you compensate my family and develop Dorne."
I nodded: "That is reasonable, now for the next part, who do you want me to summon first?"
21 Shadows
Obara raised her hand: "Summon your Obara first. I made my peace with the world already." Surrounded by my Companions I nodded and opened the Companion tab.
Summon Companion.
State name of Companion and age:
Obara Sand Age 19
Press Yes or No to proceed
With a last look around I pressed Yes. My Obara appeared in front of me, she turned to the local one, jumped in her arms, and said: "I would do exactly the same Sister. Now, let me show you some spears I made in my world, they are way better than the Valyrian steel ones..."
I nudged My Obara: "Hey! Hello to you too! Talk spears later, and give us a hug." Rolling with her eyes she hugged everyone and ended with a kiss for me: "So needy, did you forget we can remember everything you do in this world? It is like I was here all the time. Summon my sisters, so I can finish my talk to me."
Summon Companion.
State name of Companion and age:
Nymeria Sand Age 19
Press Yes or No to proceed
A quick Yes and Nymeria jumped… herself?
Summon Companion.
State name of Companion and age:
Tyene Sand Age 19
Press Yes or No to proceed
Tyene did the same, it must be something special to be able to hug yourself.
I mentioned: "You are not exactly the same, there is a ten-year gap between you. And Elia Martell died in this world with her children, it affected their father and uncle, so it affected them too."
Local Tyene: "That is true, the bodies of Clegane and Lorch you sent to us made things a lot better between us. Before that, I was preparing to kill you, now I settle with my million Dragons."
My Tyene: "Stay for a while, you will get a lot more than a million. Our husband did not reveal all his tricks. It will surprise you."
The Nymeria's were done whispering and My Nymeria hugged Arya: "Arya? Do you have a nickname for your Nymeria? It gets confusing otherwise." Arya nodded: "Nym or Nymmie. Can you call her Nym? That leaves me with Nymmie, I want to have something of her for my own."
I called out: "Hold on! I got two more to summon."
Summon Companion.
State name of Companion and age:
Bu Meili Age 19
Press Yes or No to proceed
Bu Meili jumped in my arms and thanked me: "I was afraid we were just some girls to end a level." I smiled at her: "Being a Companion is for me to accept you into my life, and for you to do the same. If you were reluctant to be my wife then you would never be my companion. Daenerys accepted me as a part of her family, I accepted her for the same, a wife for Sirius."
Summon Companion.
State name of Companion and age:
Bu Fen Age 19
Press Yes or No to proceed
Fen was the last one, I have nineteen Companions! I am glad Sirius took two for himself, that still leaves me with sixteen. Meili and Fen were extra clingy, none of the concubines became Companions, so they were a bit isolated, not used to being by themselves, they stuck like glue the first days, slowly they were absorbed into the group.
Xxxxx
I Copy the Spear Skill 100 at Local Obara, Dual Wielding 100 at Local Nymeria, Archery 100, and Dual Daggers 100 for Local Tyene. The storage rings filled with armor, weapons, and jewelry, together with the million Dragons made the local snakes very happy.
Until My Tyene showed some Sand Snake Porn in the Pensive, they went home feeling that somehow they missed a chance at something better. My Tyene brags too much.
We speed leveled Meili and Fen, at night Daphne and Astoria managed the rotation, or I would not get a minute of sleep.
After a few days, we questioned Meili and Fen on Yi Ti's local magic and legends. Also everything they heard about cursed lands. With that information, we planned our next steps.
Our first stop is to cleanse the lands of the Rhoyne, the city Chroyane is rumored to be the source of the sickness Greyscale. Next on the list are the lands above the Valyrian islands, the lands of the Long Hot Summer.
Then we move south until we reach Sothoryos, some notorious cities that need our attention. Followed by heading northeast to Yi Ti, Helping the Local Emperor in law, going North to kill some parasites. The shadowlands were last on the list, if the Quest wasn't finished we head for Ulthos.
Xxxxx
We divided into five groups, and each group focused on a task. One does the ruling and politics, two does the trading, three the cleansing with me, four focuses on teaching new technologies to the public, and five could relax on vacation.
We have four years left to clear the level. I am flying blind now, the places Meili and Fen speak about are only vaguely mentioned in the books.
Our first stop is the cursed lands of the Rhoyne, we started at Volantis, the delta of the river Rhoyne and worked our way upriver, scanning for curses and sources of infections. The last stage of the greyscale infection turns them into Stone Men, it turns their flesh and bones into stone. It clearly proved it was a disease caused by a curse.
Along the way, we healed people with Greyscale, all the sources of infection turned out to be Valyrian steel in the river. The story went that the last prince of the Rhoynar was hung in a cage in his city Chroyane and starved to death by the Valyrian and Volantis' army. The prince cursed the people of Volantis and Valyria, the land and the river became cursed, destroying both armies, and the Greyscale spread the curse.
In Croyane we located the source of the curse, removed the curse, and started cleansing the region from Valyrian cursed steel. Sirius erected on four city squares obelisks that radiated a dispelling and healing spell to remove Greyscale.
Daenerys and Wife NR Two Acciod all the Valyrian steel from the river bed and the surrounding lands, and dispelled the curse from them. I better start calling her Arya now, she is getting bloody skilled with her Needle. We ended up with a lot of Valyrian steel again, it is a good thing we have started trading, the wives will deal with it.
North of Chroyane had a lot of pirate action, did you know, Point Me, Pirate, works too? A week later the river was clean from pirates and curses. We ported back to Volantis, Sirius erected another Obelisk in the biggest city square. By this, we declared the river and surrounding lands cleansed from the Curse and Greyscale.
Hah! I bet there is a hidden quest completed with it. The fucking Game is silent again, only announcing new Skills and Titles. Most Skills are also found in Wizarding Magic, so only Titles. I was not looking forwards to a max-level world. Entering at level one in a Wuxia world will get me killed in a day.
Xxxxx
We moved south to the Lands of the Long Hot Summer and the cities surrounding them. With me were the Patils, Lucinda and Lyanna. These lands were under the influence of Valyria, so there was way too much magic spelled on the lands.
It took a month to set it straight, at night we returned to the Nest through a portal, in the day we dealt with the nasties. You can't believe the mutations corrupted magic can cause, the city Mantarys was loaded with them, five conflicting wardstones were the source. One was raising fertility, another was preventing pregnancies, a third promoting growth, the fourth caused the rodents to have deformed litters, the fifth was a timing ward.
Those five began to malfunction by lack of maintenance and damage. It made us rethink our warding setup and add more fail saves.
Xxxxx
Sothoryos was the next stop, Fay with the Sand Sisters came along. Again the Valyrians were the bad guys, they had a penal colony on an island at the coast, where they conducted magic experiments… the nasty kind. When the Doom of Valyria came, the island was abandoned, and the human experiments escaped to the mainland.
I don't know how much we can do here, the continent is one big jungle, We cleansed the island and the city ruins of the continent… fuck the rest. At the City ruin of Yeen we spotted several clans of half apes. We decided to let them be. By the time they evolved enough to be a treat to us, we probably invented firearms and kill them.
Xxxxx
Our next stop was Yi Ti, Daphne came along with Lavender, Meili, and Fen. By then everyone was above level hundred. We came through a portal at the square of our spot on the previous level. Soon the guards surrounded us and demanded an explanation of how we arrived. Daphne decided to be a party-pooper and spoiled my fun by preventing me from showing it to them.
She said: "Not now Joff, the girls asked me to buy a warehouse at the docks, let Fen and Meili do the talks. This city is good for business." Rolling my eyes I gestured for the girls to proceed.
Hah, being the lookalikes of the local Princesses did not help at all, three hours later we stood in front of Azure's Daddy-in-law.
He said: "We are confused, these are our daughters, but the age does not match, also our real daughters are standing behind us. We demand an explanation." That explanation lasted two hours, Fen and Meili could tell facts about the inner court that only real family could know. Like the name of a favorite toy, or the nickname of the head wife.
It went downhill when both started bragging about what they learned and pulled several items out of their storage rings. Next thing we know they claimed Fen and Meili as true daughters of the Emperor, and they must remain in the palace.
Daphne sighed: "I just wanted to have a nice warehouse at the docks. Alright! Listen up! Bu Meili and Bu Fen are my sister's wives, only my husband and my sister-wives can lay a claim on their bodies. Anyone that says otherwise will meet my bad side." She conjured a big ball of flames in one hand and let her other hand sparkle with electric currents.
Lavender added: "Bu Meili and Bu Fen were married to our husband by their father. There is a Meili and Fen here, so anyone that wants to take them away will suffer." Lavender took two swords out and stood in front of the sisters."
The Emperor said: "We ordered them in the palace, and our orders will be followed." Fuck this shit! I changed everyone but the Emperor into bunnies and told him: "There are some other people that are claiming to be the real Emperor, that Yellow and Orange one for example. If you don't change your tune, you will find your throne occupied by one of them."
This is fucking my Quest up! I am supposed to end major conflicts, not start them! The Azure emperor looked at the bunnies and said: "We decided that they will be happy with you." with a smile I changed them back.
I said: "I knew that once you saw our point of view, you change your opinion. Mulong and Shenlong would not be happy here anyway." Daphne and Lavender smiled and nodded their heads.
The Emperor could not help himself: "Mulong? Shenlong?" Fen said: "Those are our Dragons, we could show them, but not here, they grew too big already."
Daphne added: "You must by now already heard of our dragons, we destroyed the Dothraki with them and ended slavery in most of Essos. Most of all we are hunting Demons and curing corrupted magic lands."
I said: "We are planning to pay a visit to the Jogos Nhai. They are similar to the Dothraki and will get the same treatment. Also, the Hyrcoon is rumored to do dark magic with human sacrifices, so we need to investigate it."
Xxxxx
Four months later another nation was destroyed. One evening we talked about what we are doing. I said: "This feels so wrong to me. First the Dothraki, now the Jogos Nhai. Both were raiding and plundering the neighboring nations, but does it give us the right to kill them all?"
Obara protested: "We did not kill them all Joff! We freed the slaves, and there were plenty of them. We gave the Jogos Nhai the same treatment they gave to their neighbors. Just like the Dothraki, they are parasites that live on others' work. They will survive as people with the women and children we sent to Yi Ti. It will give the surrounding countries a chance to recuperate."
Astoria added: "We did what the Valyrians should have done a long time ago. But then again, they were the same as them. Are our children going to end up the same?"
Sirius laughed: "No Astoria, with our methods of communication, conflicts can be talked over instead of doing battle. We are at the start of a new kind of human, the wizardkind. All our children will be wizards. They will start new lines and evolve our race to the same heights as in our world. We just need to complete the Quest for Joff or he will be in trouble at the next level."
Margaery said: "All that is good and well, but Sansa and I are under pressure to provide a child. Nobody believes us when we say we can prevent pregnancies, and think we are barren because of the magic."
Several other girls said they wanted to start with children too. In the end, it was decided to lift the birth control ward and let every girl that wants a baby get pregnant. Yippee! Diapers again…
Xxxxx
The last big hurdle was the shadowlands, we decided to go all out on it, only Margaery, Sansa and Daphne stayed behind to rule Westeros and do trade.
We started at the sources of the River Ash, following it downstream and searching for magic and corruption. Just like the river Rhoyne, this river was cursed too, The dead City of Stygai was the source of all bad things happening. It took two months to dispel all curses and damaged wards, all deformed animals were lured into traps and destroyed.
Slowly the City lost its gloom, we saved the last for the Citadel, feeling the Demon's source of power inside of it. Around the citadel, we put hundreds of dispelling wardstones, spelled to create a barrier, dispel curses and magic in general. When we activated the wardstones, the Demon showed himself. The Demon made the mistake to wait for our attack. The barrier held him inside while the wardstones were stripping him of his magic. We just had to watch the show, two days later the Demon lost the last of his magic and died. That was an easy victory, one I prefer above a hard-fought one.
The citadel contained a corrupted altar and the bones of the priests that summoned the Demon. All the books about Demon summoning were destroyed along with the Citadel, when we left the City it was a big pile of sand.
The shadow binders were hunted by us one by one. The Point Me Spell got upgraded with a distance indicator. When we reached Asshai, the river lost its taint and looked normal again. The mutated fish could not survive in normal water and died off, floating into the sea.
Xxxxx
I delivered the Yellow and Orange Emperors to the Azure one, ending the conflict in Yi Ti… for now, that country has more rulers than inhabitants, so there will always be a war.
Bran and Myrcella moved to Moat Cailin after the channel was dug and the castle renovated. Tommen took his she-bear with him to Casterly Rock and laid the law to his dad and grandfather. It helped that I was standing behind him with a grin.
Sansa and Margaery were the first ones to get pregnant, surprisingly the Sand Snakes were next with the Bu sisters. Daenerys and Arya were expecting too, it made Sirius a nervous wreck. Daphne, Astoria, and Padma followed when they reached level 200.
When the last year started, the Nest was actually a real Nest, it was swamped with babies, Arya and Parvati had twins, when I suggested to Arya to name them One and Two, she actually managed to stab me. Mostly because Daphne and Padma held me still. Daphne said: "Hush Joff! You deserved it, now stop teasing Arya and behave like a nice uncle."
The seasons in Westeros were back to normal, the Red Waste became fertile lands, and so are the Shadowlands. New technologies made farming easier, while better hygiene and childcare caused a baby boom. Industries started to emerge, and slowly the world… no I can't say it will be better, our world is a prime example that it never will get better. There will always be war, hunger, and crime.
Xxxxx
Finally, I got the message:
Level 7 Completed
Main Quest: Solve all major conflicts.

Reward: 1 Random Bloodline of the Next world
Bonus objectives:
Reach level 200+
Companions at Level 200+: 7

Move to the next level Y / N?
I pressed No, I had to say goodbye to everyone. That night all the companions gathered, I told them: "I have one day to settle everything. Most of my Inventory is already transferred to Storage Rings and Vaults. Everyone, the only thing that will change is that the Dungeons are not available anymore, and I turn into a human once more, no more Gamers body and Inventory."
I spend the night with the wives and the day with the children, Sirius, and his wives. I hugged Arya and said: "Arya, you are one of my favorite girls, because of the books and Tv Show. Sirius is a lucky man to have you."
That evening I Pressed Yes. Everything went dark.
Xxxxx
I woke up in a bed with a naked redheaded girl, hugging me close… I can get used to that.
Xxxxx
AN: This ends Westeros, Having all these abilities and Skills, results in repeating most of the actions, so it is hard to give a new twist to the story. The next level has stronger opponents… I hope.
