The void
Those are the only words I could use to describe where I currently am. Though I do suppose I should explain how I got here. I'm Damian Silva and I died, now you may be thinking, well if you died how are you still alive and to answer that question I'm not really sure, I was just going for a walk when out of nowhere I hear a honking sound and I just get hit by a truck and since then I've just been in this void for probably a few hours it feels like and I think I don't have a body as I don't feel any arms and legs and I have no mouth to talk.
Now after hearing that you might be thinking that sounds just like a lot of those isekai anime you watch and I hope your right cause I've gotta say this void is getting very boring very fast.

Welcome host to the gamer system
Please choose a name.
'What the, is this a hallucination, Have I finnaly gone mad?' I think as I look at a purple rectangular screen floating in front of me.
Answer: no, the host is still sane, now please select a name.
'Might as well go for it the worst that can happen is that this is a product of my possible decaying sanity, now for the name might as well just keep my name it isn't that bad' I think as I put my name into the system.
Host name has been set to 'Damian'
Now host please select a class
[Warrior] [rogue] [mage] [production] [other]
Before picking there is something the host should be aware of, due to the system creators not wanting everyone to just pick the same classes (warrior and mage) there is a special deal currently available were if you pick a class from the other available types (rogue, support and other) the host shall start with a bonus.
Also note you will be able to take a new class when you reach level 30 with classes having a max level of 50.
now with this new information given please select a class.
'Well that changes my plans slightly, when I was alive and I thought about possible moments just like this, I always thought I would pick mage as who doesn't want to use magic, but my second pick would have been rogue, seeing as if I choose rogue I get a bonus I might as well look at what the rogue class offers' I think as I select [rogue].
The rogue class has been selected, now please choose a subclass
[Assassin] [Ranger] [Thief] [scout] [pirate]
'Hmm I think I will go with ranger as it is the most balanced as assassin seams too frail, theif to specific, scout just seems like a worse ranger, and pirate would require me to be on the ocean for large amounts of time which I'm not sure I would like, and also cause beast master type classes are cool as fuck' I think as I select ranger.
Ranger subclass selected
upon level +3 dex, +1 vit, +1wis
now moving onto character sheet
Name: Damian
Race: (yet to be determined)
Age: 17
Level: 1
Class: Ranger (level 1)
HP: 100 (Regen=1 per min)
MP: 100 (Regen=2 per min)(locked)
Str: 10
Dex: 10
Vit: 10
Int: 10
Wis: 10
Cha: 10
Luk: 10
HP = vit x 10
MP= int x 10
HP Regen = vit x 1 (per min)
MP Regen = wis x 2 (per min)
'What does it mean by race yet to be determined and on that note where am I going to be sent?' I wonder as I hadn't really thought about it
Answer: the reason the hosts race is set to (yet to be determined) is because you race will be assigned when your world has been chosen as you can only be a race available in your first world and the host can only be a humanoid race, do note however that your race can be changed afterwards through rituals, actions throughout your campaign and other such means.
your world will be chosen randomly after you finish your character creation.
'Well thats good at least I won't be a rat or something' I think glad I'll at least be humanoid, 'now system what's next?'
Now the host must will be randomly assigned a world and after a race native to that world.
'all right let's go' I think as I hype myself up and hope I don't get a death world like Warhammer 40k or something, then a massive wheel appears in front of me with what looks like a near infinite number of universes on it, I hold my breath as it starts to spin,
Spin
it gains speed until I can't see any of the names of worlds, it takes a few minutes for it to start to slow down until I see the world it lands on.
Ding
Congratulations host your world has been chosen it is [a song of ice and fire (game of thrones)],
although there is something the host should be made aware of, you will not be limited to this one world as the system allows the host to travel the multiverse, however for every world the host must complete a world quest to unlock the ability to travel to a new world, however travel between unlocked worlds is unrestricted.
'Thank fuck it's not 40k' I think as I feel elated as I'd always wanted to visit a mediaeval world. 'Now for the race' I think as another wheel spawns in front of me this one much smaller only having a dozen or so races such as andal, first men, rhoynar, Dothraki, essosi, Valyrian, Yitish, summer islander, and Evan things like giant, child of the forest and white walker.
Spin
I watch as the wheel starts to spin this time it doesn't spin for as long as I watch as it lands on
Ding
Congratulations host your race has been set to [First men].
First men racial skills and bonuses include,
Skills: skin changing, warging and greenseering
Bonuses: cold resistance, strong blood, enhanced rune magic and doubled exp to nature related classes.
'Jackpot, this pairs perfectly with my ranger class' I think excitedly as so far things have gone great. I'm in a world I don't mind being in, I'm apart of the first men which gets me access to useful abilities, I'm a ranger which is a good and versatile class and I will be able to journey across the multiverse.
Host would you like to spin for a perk that will provide a positive effect, but you also gain a trait (that could be fully negative or could be have positives and negatives) for each perk spun.
A buff but in exchange I get a nerf for every buff, fuck it things have gone great so far how bad could they be. 'roll two's
Spin
Ding
Perk: the smith- you are a craftsman who greatly enjoys making things, and you're extremely good at it and learns such things at a supernatural pace.
Effects: quadruples all exp gains for production classes
Trait: nature's spawn- you are the child of nature, you are loved by nature and beings associated with it, you also hate people who destroy nature needlessly and bear a dislike for cities.
Effects: bonus reputation and attraction with nature related beings, increased MP Regenwhen in nature, skills associated with nature are enhanced.
Decreased reputation with beings who oppose nature, decreased MP Regen when outside of nature, skills that are considered 'unnatural' are weakened.
Spin
Ding
Perk: strong seed- you are a prime specimen, the perfect man, fertility given form, women's cunts moisten in your presence, wombs ache in preparation for your seed, even fields get ready for farming in your presence.
Effects: increased affection with women and beings associated with fertility, massively increased fertility and people accept you having multiple partners easier.
Trait: in the all father's likeness- you are like the allfather Odin, god of war, wisdom and magic.
Effects: you are blind in your left eye, enhanced seer and divination abilities, increased MP, and have an easier time bonding with ravens.
'That was great' I think amazed at my luck 'my two perks are good and one of my traits is fine and the other doesn't really matter all that much' I smile 'lets go again, one more'
Spin
Ding
Perk: beast buddies- you have a special bond with beasts you tame some think it's extraordinary others think it creepy and unnatural, but you just care about your beastly companions.
Effect: you can mark a beast with a bond tag that makes it so you can ressurect them if they die(the number of bond tags is limited only increasing by 1 every thirty levels gained), it also allows your beasts to have a higher level of intelligence(though still less than humans unless already possessing the same or similar level of intelligence) so they can follow commands more efficiently, they also get stronger as you do.
Trait: ineffective training- no matter what you cannot gain stat points through training.
Effect: you can only gain stat points through leveling up, quests and items.
'well shit, I mean I got another good perk but that trait is disastrous as it's going to make getting stat points that my class doesn't give extra difficult' I think regretting my greed for trying again,'oh well shit happens I can only push forward'
Host you have finished your character creation for your second life, are you ready to begin your journey?
'Yes I'm ready' I think excited for my new life
Very well then commencing reincarnation
Have a good life Damian.
________________________________________
Sunlight peirces through the tree tops right into my eyes as I open them, birds tweeting fills my ears, as I sit up leaning against a tree my head explodes in pain as foreign memories assault my mind, after a moment the pain subsides as i think on the new memories that reveal my new identity in this world.
I am Damian mudd son of Roddrick mudd, the current year is 297 about 1 years before the death of Jon arryn and a little under 2 years until the war of the five kings begins.
I am currently in the woods not far from riverrun as I left the castle with some supplies and a small pouch of silver that I got from selling my families farm and there was some more coin and a few family heirlooms left to me by my father as he died week ago, and my mother died giving birth to me, making me the last mudd.
Ding
Hello host, how are you enjoying your new identity, before you truly embark on your new adventure there are some final things to give you.
ding
Skill gained:
Gamers mind- protects ones mind from telepathic abilities such as mind reading, mind control and the viewing of your memories.
Gamers body- removes the bodies limits and allows you to survive wounds you should not.
Observe- allows you to see a description about objects in your line of sight
Inventory-a place in which you can store things, everything in the inventory is held in stasis, the amount of room increases by 1 metre on every side(height, width and length) every level.
ID create: allows for the creation of instant dungeons, in which you defeat enemies for rewards
ID destroy: allows you to destroy instant dungeons, therefore leaving them
'nice, these are some nice skills' I think as ID create will help me with leveling by a lot and inventory will be a life saver and an extremely useful ability overall, then I remember that I haven't gotten my class skills or my bonus for picking rogue yet
'hey system when am I going to get my class skills and what is my bonus' I ask.
Answer: The host's class skills will be revealed in a moment and the host's bonus has already partially happened, being born as a mudd has given you a advantage as you have a claim to oldstones and the Riverlands which will truly allow you to play the game of thrones. the rest will be revealed after your class skills.
'okay, I guess being born into the mudds would be a fair advantage over just being a peasant' I think realising how being born a noble will help me in this life.
Now for the host's starting class skills and the rest of his bonus.
ding
Class skills:
Passive skills:
Bow mastery (beginner): any ranger is expected to learn the bow and in time become a master of it
Effect: demonstrates your mastery of the bow and all its variants(Longbow, recurve, compound, crossbow, etc)
Keen senses: a ranger has great senses developed during time in the wild, eyes that see further and in greater detail, ears that can pick up faint sounds better, nose that can differentiate between different smells better, your skin can feel the direction of the wind, and you instinctively know which way is north.
All terrain traversal: Rangers traverse all manner of terrain during their lives because of that they become very good at not loosing their balance, staying quiet while moving and making mental maps of terrain so they don't get lost as easily.
Effects: you have excellent balance, are very good at moving quickly and quietly, and have great memory when it comes to terrain.
Beast empathy: beasts are less hostile and easier to calm or befriend.
Effects: beasts like you more and are less likely to attack you, beasts are easier to befriend.
Rangers encyclopaedia: you are knowledgeable in many nearly all things nature related, whether they be about beasts, plants or how to survive in a given environment you know it or are about to learn it.
Effects: unlocks bestiary feature, unlocks herbarium feature.
Active skills:
Wyrd track: allows you to track any foe so long as they have bled.
Effect: upon touching the targets blood and sacrificing twenty five MP you can divine the general distance and direction of the target.
Time to strike: you wait for the perfect time to land that perfect attack.
Effect: you spend 10 MP to turn invisible, every additional 5 seconds invisible costs 1 MP, however you cannot move from the spot you are standing when you activated it or it will deactivate.
Empowered strike: you increase the power of your your next attack
Effect: for 15 MP increase your next attacks strength.
This concludes you current skills, note you will get new skills every ten levels with them getting increasingly stronger in accordance.
Now onto your remaining bonus'
Personal realm unlocked, you will have your own personal realm to do with as you please with it increasing in size according to your level, with it starting at one kilometre in diameter currently and every level being an extra kilometre in diameter, with this being an excellent place to locate some of your beasts when I needed(however do note there is currently just a grassland with you having to add other things to the realm yourself).
250,000 credits for the system store
10 gacha coins
This concludes your bonus.
'What the fuck, those are some fairly good rewards that should help me greatly at the beginning especially the realm as it gives me a place to just nope out of unfavorable situations, and the store credits should be good but I'm not sure of their worth in the store so maybe not, and the gacha tokens, oh the misery and elation they shall bring me back to back constantly I'm sure, I can almost feel it'.
'The class skills were good, both passive and active, with the passives they will probably always be helpful, especially *all terrain traversal* and *Rangers encyclopaedia* will always be useful as being able to traverse pretty much all types of terrain effectively is super important and the Rangers encyclopaedia will become more filled with important knowledge as time go's on, while I could use observe to see what something is, it will still help as I won't have to waste time observing things and if I pick up alchemy I'll know what different plants will do and in what environments to find them, so overall I would say that this has so far been spectacular and I'm actually a little confused as normally my luck would not be this good, but shit I'll take all the luck I can, because in a moment I'm gonna need it' I think hoping my luck will stay this good.
'system roll all ten gacha tokens' I think hoping i get at least one good thing.
Just to inform the host for every 10 gacha tokens spun at once you get an additional 1 spin for free and items you get in the gacha have to be claimed to physically have them but you can leave unclaimed if your not ready for it yet, say for example you get the Titanic from your gacha, you can leave it unclaimed until your ready to put the ship somewhere.
Rolling
Ding
1x one tonne cube of bronze
1x satchel full of gemstones
3x bucket of dirt
1x sting (lord of the rings)
2x treasure map
1x book of language (you choose the language)
1x apple
1x one time weapon restoration token (however weapon must not be magical in any way)
'that went a lot better than expected by a lot' I think almost dreading when my luck would turn,'fuck it, worrying is for smart people and as much as I'd like to call my myself smart I'm clever at best, so yolo... Wait but would that even count as this is my second life..., you know what it's not about the words it's about the vibe so yeah,anyways the things I got are pretty good except the three buckets of dirt and the apple, but even then I guess it can at least be eaten and the seeds can be used to have apple trees in my pocket realm.
'On the other hand the rest of it is very nice as sting is great as it gives me a good weapon and it's ability to glow when crestures of evil are nearby will give me an warning of threats to come, I claim it and put it in my inventory, the book of languages is a heavenly gift as using it I can learn the old tongue and the first men runes with which I can use rune magic, which is enhanced due to me being of the first men, and the weapon restoration could be used to repair a strong weapon then rune magic it'.
'the satchel of gemstones is nice I guess if I want to make jewellery or need money or want to practise jewelcraft, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with a one tonne cube of bronze but I'm sure I'll find a use for it probably forge weapons and armour out of them then rune magic them to be better.
'now the treasure maps, I wonder what riches they may lead me to' I think as I claim them then open the first one, as I look at the map it shows the Riverlands with an x near oldstones, 'well that's useful as I was going to be going in that direction anyway', as I open the second map and see it's located near oldstones as well it starts to feel like destiny is pulling me towards my ancestral seat.
'now what should I do' I think unsure about where to start in this new life. 'wait the quests' I think opening them and seeing if they may give me a good place to start.

'Okay those are some not so easy quests for now' I think, 'now the great thing as this has given me a great goal for the moment, being finding my first beastly companion and that will be easy as the previous owner of this body practised skin changing and with beast empathy it won't be to hard to tame a beast'
As I stand up and start to take a look at my surroundings all I see are trees then I remember that I'm in the whispering woods to the north of riverrun and southeast of my second goal, to see oldstones, so as I begin my treck north east I ponder on which animal should I have as my first companion, during my long hike through the forest I think on it 'a bear would be good but it's big, not that fast and would require a lot of food, a wolf would be great but if I wanted a wolf I would just go north and get a direwolf', as I keep thinking on it I start to smell blood, with my curiosity peaked I go and investigate and that's when I see it dark as the night with stripes of snow across its fur and as large as a man sitting in a tree a fox in its mouth, 'a shadow cat' I think looking at it that's when an idea breaches my mind, 'thats it, my first beast'.
As I walk a bit I see the cat lock eyes with me watching my every movement, after it finishes devouring the fox we kind of just sit there for a moment, after a while of staring into its yellow eyes i pull out some meat from my pack and throw it across the clearing to below the tree that the cat sits in, as I start to takes some bites of some meat from my pack, the cat drops from the tree and smells the meat for a bit then it gives it a lick and starts to eat it, for a moment we both sit here eating some meat in peace, after it finishes the meat it walks closer towards me, as it approaches I reach out and touch it's mind with my warging and I feel the cats uncertainty of what to do, so I push my mind against it gently communicating feelings of assurance and kindness, after a moment it relents and I am looking at myself from the shadow cats eyes, 'i have to say it is an unsettling experience' I think finding the experience of looking at myself through the eyes of another being odd.
As I tell the cat to walk around I feel some resistance so I take a Different approach instead of commanding the cat I ask it while projecting feelings of trust and kindness, after a while where I prove I have no negative intentions and we start to establish a little trust between us it becomes more agreeable with my requests, it is then I exit it's body and return to my own, as I reawaken and look up the cat is right in front of me, as we stare at each other I slowly raise my hand and move it towards its head it seemed unsure for a moment but moved it head slowly towards my hand a bit, when my neared its head stopped and it waited as if I would attack it at the last moment but when my hand came to rest on its head and just started giving it a pat, it seemed almost shocked but after a short moment it started to enjoy the pat and started purring, but its purrs were so loud it sounded more like growling with how rumblely it was.
"I name you shade" I say to the newly named shade as I mark him with a beast buddies tag,
His purring increases in intensity as he starts pushing his head against my hand.
Ding
Quest completed (beastly beginnings)
Reward:
Night vision
' I kind of expected more, but still night vision is incredibly useful and can be a life saver in many situations.
Ding
Completed hidden quest: finish first quest:
Reward:
5,000 store credits
'hidden quests okay so those exist, and the system store, I forgot to have a look at what's going on there' I think almost embarrassed I forgot, 'well no time like the present' I think as I open the system store some text pop up.
Welcome to the system store, where you can purchase anything in the Multiverse for the right price.
As I look through the selection of things I can buy, I see a lot of things I can buy and many many more things I'm to poor to buy,
Infinity gauntlet (with all stones) 2,000,000,000 credits, like shit I only have 255,000 credits so a long way until anything overpowered, as I look through this you can buy lots of things, items, perks, skills, unique classes and even living things, as I browse through the system something catches my eye, even though it's out of my price range I might just save up to get even though it would take me a very fucking long time Tauropolos the bow of heaven 250,000,000 credits, 'yeah I won't be getting that any time soon but just imagine it, me saying Phoebus catastrophe and just deleting entire armies with light speed divine arrows, oh the dream me and shade hunting magic beasts, as by the time I can afford this I'll probably be fairly strong and shade will have gotten stronger due to the bond tag on him from my beast buddies perk'.
'But alas we must wait as I have neither the credits or strenght for such a thing, but I swear it in the future I will make this dream a reality',now one of those things I definitely know how to solve, strength, I think of my ID create skill and I decide I will try to attempt it, but first I must take stock of my supplies, as I look through my belongings things don't look great, I have a bow with about twenty arrows both of which aren't of the best quality, I have no armour, not a lot of food and water, currently my best things are sting and shade.
But as I think on it I decide to at least see how difficult it is and if it's to hard I leave with ID destroy and buy shit from the store then try again and I don't really have to worry about shade dying as beast buddies will revive him but I'd rather be never have to be revived.
Eh fuck it, I'm just gonna buy some cheap armour and maybe a spear and shield I'd rather not risk dying again if I'm caught by suprise, after looking through the store I bought a leather and chainmail armour set for 8,000 credits and a wooden shield for 1,500 and a simple wooden spear with an iron tip for 1,000 leaving me with 244,500 credits still alot and I have increased my survivability a lot so a great investment in my opinion.
After wearing my new armour and getting my weapons ready and putting the rest of my gear in my inventory I'm ready to go but first I turn to shade and say, "Shade we are going to go somewhere, it might startle you but just listen to me and we will be fine" I say as shade looks at me unsure for a moment then gets a resolved look on his face," are you ready shade" I ask and he nods,
"then let's go"
