1 Steel

In a parallel world as we know it , this was a peaceful day Steel was joining the closing game in his VR series Cold steel of the Shogun. It was an eastern medieval game that centralized on management and conquest. Steel made a custom playable faction in the game the Swatzii or meaning the blade in the game. He decided to log in after 1 year break from playing the game. The game was so realistic that millions of players had trouble playing the game he was lucky enough to reach the mid tier in the game. He was a mid tier type of daimyo. lots of land but only a standing army of 1000 katana samurai , 300 samurai archers. 2000 Yari ashigaru and 400 heavy cavalr and 400 yari cavalry. Some daimyo has thousands of soldiers that can reach up to 10,000. He has played the game for 15 years and each character was modified by him with the complete freedom of customizing each one of them. He knew their names , background and history. He logged in and transported into his castle, where his generals of men and women were waiting for him.

kneeled into the group as he logged , they bowed to him. a prompted opted " welcome back after 374 days of inactivity".

Steel smiled and dismissed his generals to the side and began walking towards the exit of the confines of the room. As he exited the room he saw the magnetic view he hasn't seen in awhile. a bustling castle full of life. the city under the castle was bustling with life.

He smiled and started touring his castle, the generals as he walked one by one walked to him reporting the status of his domain. He left his domain in auto pilot which prompt a isolationist AI who made the domain self sufficient if it wasn't already so. the reports of the subjects how many attacks and repelled enemy invasion they had and how much the domain was making now which was a astounding amount. thousands of bushels of food and thousands of Gold. He already left the domain a long time ago with the setting for growth. He set up a growth kingdom setting so when he came back everything was overflowing.

That day he toured the domain with hundreds of villages and dozen of towns. The population of his domain was nothing big just three hundred thousand people. compared to the millions of people across the continent if was nothing. the top players even have two to three million people.

After he finished inspecting his domain it was time to inspect the army. he was surprised how much it grew to the original planning.Compared to the original his army has doubled almost tripled just to keep his domain safe. The military were called and he inspected one by one. The new military was impeccable, he checked the status of some of the soldiers and their background was based on his original concept of the art of war he has implemented the art of war and chivalric code of conduct but the most brutal concept of it he changed some. He was by no means a pacifist, the code of conduct was done by him during his younger days when he would conquer other lands. He was a warlord , daimyo seeking for survival of the fittest. He mad alliances , broke some , killed all and he was the last one standing. In the mid lane of a. daimyo, he might be in the top.

As He inspected the army the prompt 1 minute to shut down sounded, Steel looked at the army one last time and entered the castle as the army stood in attention in front of the castle.

He sat down and prepared the log out countdown.

as he prepared a notice suddenly popped out "Error" "Error"

"Brain hemmorage in progress please exit"

Steel felt a sharp pain in his head , He though this was it it was ironic. "Everything wen glowed all of a sudden and then everything went dark.

Floating in a white space he woke up" Error file "Error file"

"I didn't die, but what's with the error"

He tied logging out but was not able to, he tried and tried again but it was no use.

"Error File" "Error file"

He opted that maybe there was a problem with the file so he tried opening up files.

"File xxx"

"File diablo"

"File game of thrones A song about ice and fire"

"File etc.

He was optimistic at first but he clicked in game of thrones"

The file was a book he read suddenly a bright light enveloped him.

" Game of thrones a song about Ice and fire loading"

" ATTACHMENT! Cold Steel of the Shogun"

"Binary file being attached"

" Changing and with synthesis of corresponded history"

Boom

When steel opened his eyes he was sitting in his castle and his generals were kneeled to the ground. The ground started shaking and with a bright light and sounds of trumpet the ground shaking and the light finally faded.

"Restarting History file..... " Name Game of thrones a song about a daimyo"

" Beep!"

"What happened?" Steel looked around and his generals were still kneeling.

Steel looked around and as he stood up he felt his body and the cold air permiate through the castle.

He started breathing air? He can feel the coldness of the castle and he could feel his body?

He looked at his arms and they were a childlike feature, then the memories started flooding in.

His name. is steel daimyo a medium size lord, He seem to remember his child hood growing up as a lord and as 12 year old boy his family died and he became lord. The training and knowledge of a lord started to permiate through his memories and started to overlap with his game knowledge and his history. The man he once knew was gone and he closed and opened his eyes, he became a lord. His first word was "We are daimyo" meaning they are independent and one with their lord in his new language with a sigil of a castle 🏯 with a man standing behind it with ⚔️ sword and a decapitated head. His family has a long history of conquest and being brutal to their enemies. To them conquest is a way of life and everyone fights peasants or samurai (knights).

"Rise" Steel commanded

Everyone rose to their feet and looked at the lord with reverence and loyalty.

" Mirror". steel commanded and the general by the door shouted to bring a mirror.

" The maid soon came with a mirror

Steel looked at the mirror and he saw a 12 year old boy with black hair and brown eyes. He has regress it seems like some things changed. He instantly commanded the to scout the land and see where they are. He had a feeling he wasn't in his home no more.

The order was given and the army outside were given orders to scout the land and see where they were at.

Days went by and the reports came back, the original land were there but they have now became an island, but there was land on the other side , to hey could see there was a straight toward land. In to their land the farmers and the villages and towns were there , everything but the surrounding area outside their land were transported.
