Chapter 9[Volume 2]
Robb looked at his men fighting the Lannisters, the attack on the Riverlands began some time ago, his men were fighting the Lannisters and western houses supporting the Tullys. The boy went with Dacey Mormont at his side and attacked, his partner supporting him.
[T/N: Seems like they are destined to be together.]
He had been very nervous before the attack began, he had clashes in the past but this was his first war.
He launched an attack on one of the enemy soldiers and pierced his stomach with his sword, the boy pulled out the sword and felt a glow in his eyes, he had no choice but to close them for a few moments, when he opened them again the entire battlefield had disappeared.
"What is this?" he muttered when he saw where he was, a white room with a kind of black mirror in the background.
Robb walked around the place and noticed that there was nothing but the mirror. He approached and saw letters appear.
"By the ancient gods, this is it" he muttered and approached the crystal.
{Welcome player!
Press next to go to the selection of options.
NEXT/BACK}
Robb looked suspiciously, and touched the next button. The letters changed. And he walked away, pulled out his sword, looked left and right, but there was no one, he sighed and put his sword back, and read what followed.
{Options
-Frequently Asked Questions/FAQ
-Character menu
-Objects
-Go out}
"This is real" he muttered.
The boy blinked again, and pressed on FAQ.
{What do you want to know?}
Robb saw dozens of letters appear on the screen. He pressed the letters to see what would happen, noticed that they wrote what he wrote, and entered his question.
{Where am I?
You are located in the White Room, a pocket dimension that players use to improve their skills.
Player?
A player is one of those chosen by the gods,
They get experience points from things and/ or from combats and sacrifice those points to gain magical or physical abilities.}
"I don't have time for that, I'm at war" he muttered.
Then he thought.
"Magic would be useful" he muttered.
{How do I get skills?
Each player has a specific level, when fighting,
or doing everyday things, these points increase,
reaching a certain number of points the player levels up.
As you level up, your physical and magical abilities increase,
In addition, you are given a skill point. This point can be used to obtain skills.
Each skill costs different skill points per level.
For example, level 1 of any skill costs
one skill point each, level two costs two points,
at nine, nine points.}
The boy raised an eyebrow.
{How do I get out of the room?
To exit you must press the exit button on the console.}
The boy pressed back, and looked at the buttons. And pressed character menu.

" Magic would be more useful, I already know how to handle a sword " he muttered.

He pressed yes.
{Support Magic Level: 1

Robb felt a sharp pain in his head, he let out a groan of pain and fell to the ground, images appearing in his mind. The boy let out a sigh of pain and looked at the screen.
{Support Magic Level: 1
Cost: 50 mana per spell
Attack: Increases the power of your army by 200%.}
Robb gasped and started to leave.
XXXXXXXXXX
Ned gasped at the mercenaries attacking him, they had been fighting for hours, Sansa and Arya joined him. The man told them the news, and they needed to get to Valyria, but they needed more money, just in case.
During the quests, all three of them went up a level. Ned was at 11 with two skill points, Sansa at 5 with 2 skill points, and Arya at 6 with 2 skill points.
The man took the missions seriously, and looked at his daughters.
Sansa used total regeneration on him or Arya and stayed behind in combat, the girl saw her father and cast her magic before reaching the white room.

She pressed yes.
Sansa felt hot, very hot, as if her whole body was warming up under the fire of a bonfire, then she began to cough, she was short of breath, then she heard voices in her ears, so many that they made her dizzy. Until suddenly everything calmed down, and the girl looked ahead at the monitor.
{Blessed Magic Level: 3
Cost: 190 mana per spell.
Cure disease: Cure any disease}
[T/N: HOLY SH*T!]
"Oh, useful," she said in wonder before leaving.
She turned to see Arya giving mental commands to the enemies. They protected her, while she used a bow to finish off the approaching enemies.
The girl also found herself in the white room.

{Cursed Magic Level: 3
Cost: 300 mana per spell.
Mana absorption: Steal mana (Steal 20% of the enemy's mana) }
Arya saw it was a trap, if the enemy had no mana, she couldn't steal it from him, if they had it she only stole a small portion.
"A skill that only works with magical beings, right?" she muttered and left the room.
Ned looked at his daughters as he approached the last mercenaries, he had his elemental aura, with the fire element on his sword, it exploded when it hit the enemy, the last mercenary looked at him terrified before he exploded.
The man arrived at the white room.

{Do you want to spend three skill points and upgrade the Atlantean Magic skill to level 3?

Ned pressed yes.
Ned felt his muscles grow cold, like an icy wind entering his skin, reaching his blood, he began to cough, a few moments later the man recovered and looked at the screen.
{Atlantic Magic Level: 3

Wave: You summon a giant wave}
[T/N: Let's see how that Ironborn bastard fairs when his ships are sunk and his witches drowned!]
"Useful, in the ocean" he whispered.

Jon looked at the lion with wings and a snake tail with patience.
He was in the first dungeon of Tyria, decided to continue with the other cities as well, instead of making it fully Valyrian, the reason.
The difficulty was getting worse, and he considered that it was possible that the dungeons in the other two cities, which were only two each, were inferior and he could level up.
He had already gained a level with his summons and freed the city that was full of wolves, foxes, lions, and other beasts.
He had reached level 14 with 2 skill points.
The lion was flying but was attacked by his hunters, he had lost three of them because of the beast.
The plan was to distract him, while Ghost took care of the snake head's tail that was throwing poison and he took care of the head, his elemental aura was poison.
The Lion moved away from him, and was attacked by arrows, Ghost attacked the snake head's tail.
And the Lion let out a cry.
Five arrows were lodged in his body and another in his right eye, and Jon took advantage.
" Critical hit," he said and pierced the creature's neck.
He arrived at the white room, he looked and there was something strange. In one of the corners, there was a machine that had a kind of hole and buttons. It had a glass on which strange phrases or names could be seen.
Jon shook his head, he would see it later and went to the console, he was surprised to see that the Lion gave him two levels, perhaps because he was magical, magical creatures always gave him a lot of experience.
{You have passed level fifteen.
This level gives you the option, shop.
In this shop, you can buy unique skills in exchange for totems.}
"So you can buy them" he muttered.
He asked on FAQ.
{Where do you get the totems for the shop?
They are given by enemies, they are bronze coins.}
Jon nodded, that explained what the medals he always got from those he eliminated were for. He chose the character menu.

The boy left the terminal and checked the skills the shop offered.

The boy saw that the skills were worth two hundred Totems each, he currently possessed one hundred and thirty.
He left the room and saw a big jungle.
