CHAPTER 2(Edited)

Heya! So, I will try and make a minimum of 10 chapters until Sunday, so stay tuned and leave a li- ops, wrong one. Be free to leave a comment! That's all! Enjoy the chapter!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I always was a big fan of big furry animals, you know.

Especially ones that wouldn't eat you whole or shred you to pieces, but I would admire them from afar regardless of those scary facts.

As a kid, my parents would always warn me not to play with their feelings too much, for it could result in me having to get my dose of mommy kisses where it hurt...

You get the idea.

So, imagine my surprise when I realise that the trees that were next to me weren't what I initially presume. And trust me, I knew enough of their biology to say that these in front of me aren't natural wood offspring.

Even with my memories a bit fuzzy from the headache, I can still discern one from it...

No, the ones in front of me were huge 12-14 feet tall bipedal with full Silver black fur, in which hidden more than 10 tons of pure muscle.

Yes, you guessed it correctly. These two are big and, with emphasis on this one, FICTIONAL, king kong. Or to a certain extent, descendent of the big guy.

Now, you may ask: How you be so calm in the face of something that can slap a person in the atmosphere?

Well, that, my dear friend, it's an interesting question.

And the answer may surprise you, for I have no freaking idea.

It is intriguing, to say the least.

I don't feel any kind of fear or despair towards those two, perhaps since primates are mostly vegetarians, so maybe I am rather unconcerned about my hide.

Well, that's a lie, I am concerned, that's my hide we're talking about, after all. Still, I feel no harm will come to me as long as I don't do anything rash or aggressive.

"H-Hello. You boys come in this place often?" I waved awkwardly.

"..." The two kongs look at me with curiosity in their eyes.

Maybe they don't see many humans around these parts. Considering this, I'm lucky they didn't go all smash-like, squashing me like a fly the moment I came into their territory.

Apes are, after all, very territorial animals...I think.

As the one on the right approached me, I could distinguish that he was blacker and seemed older than his companion, as well as having more scars. Which, frankly, made him, even more intimidating in my opinion.

"Sniff" He inclined his head down towards me and gave me a smell.

And boy, do I hope the little ball of fur didn't let me with something he finds it to be a bad smell before this.

Else I'm more screwed than a pig on beacon day.

"HUFF!" I-I think I passed? Not sure of kong's acceptance rituals. But, hey. Still alive.

With that, they just turned around and continue to.....roll?

Eh, who am I to judge how they have fun.

"haha..." I laughed exhaustedly.

That was nerve-racking.

But now that that's out the way, I have just one question.

"Where on heavens am I?!" I shouted at the skies.

"Kyu!" Uh? Oh yeah, you're here too, "Eh, sorry for dragging you into this little guy. Want to go down?"

Putting him in the grass and sitting beside him, I begin to fall into an extreme thought of confusion. Feelings of awareness plaguing my mind.

Still, I could only conclude that I was in a different world.

T-That would explain the 14 feet tall gorillas, for sure.

"Sigh, what am I even supposed to do here? No sign of human settlement to verify my doubts either" I complained, as I had no idea where I was, or how I came to be...

"Huh?" At that moment, I felt something in my pockets. Picking it from the inside of my pants leather, I found a small pocketbook made of some fine unknown material.

"Humm..." The title reads: " Guide to The World of ASOIAF"

Yeah, I'm definitely in a dream.

MY DREAM!!!

[Ten minutes of Fanboying later]

I-I can't believe it.

H-How? Did some great god take some pity on me, or was I just a luck-awarded bastard?

"Heard that Fluffy! We're in the Game of Thrones world! HAHAHA!!!" By now, both Fluffy and the Apes were inspecting me in a not so polite way, but I couldn't care less about their opinion at the moment.

They couldn't possibly comprehend the pure vortex of emotions I was going through at this moment.

"Wait! The book, what does it says?" I was forgetting the most important detail at the moment, which is my extended survival in this wondrous, but cruel, place.

As such, I opened the book on the first page and read a personal message written for me, expectantly:

{Good evening, young Art.

I hope you arrived at your destination safely and sound.

As you probably have already seen from the cape of this guide, I sent you to the medieval world of your choice.

And yes, it wasn't my first choice to send you to that place, but you insisted, so here we are. Or should I say, there you are?

I presume this must be very confusing to you...

That's my fault.

My original plan was to make you reach your conclusions. But as you had already noticed, I misplaced your arrival point. Thus, making that goal a bit harder to accomplish...

What can I say...sorry about that.

So, to make it up to you, I made this book listing your 'gifts', as I like to call them.

But that's not all! This little book also contains the encyclopedia of this world of mysteries!

Now, it doesn't contain 100% of the information about everything, but enough for you to prepare for whatever is thrown at you. So good luck!

And see you when you die!

Ps: But try not to be so quick about it. Not that it will...You'll understand as you read your gifts.

Pss: Oh yeah! One last thing. Did you already guess where you are? It's not Westeros, Essos, or Ulthos(fortunately for you); That leaves one more continent, you can guess it already, right?}

My eyes widened even more, "Sothoryos..." I murmured in shock.

No wonder. This place is written as a freakshow in Martin's world book, after all...

I shook my head, "Still, an encyclopedia huh".

Frankly, just that is already a big help in my survival.

Turning to page two, I saw the title, it reads 'Gifts'.

"That must be it. My cheat to less danger, more safety" I muttered excitedly.

Let's see:

{Race: High Human

Description: It is said that the High Humans are the better version of the Homo Sapiens, their high adaptability makes them stronger, faster, and more resistant, along with having a greater understanding when learning something. Not many know about their history. Only, that they used to be the first to fight off the monster that once plagued the realms until they were extinct.

Racial Traits:

-Enhanced Strength;

-Enhanced Dexterity;

-Enhanced Endurance;

-Enhanced Vigor;

-Enhanced Magic pool and affinity towards all magical sorceries*;

-Enhanced Learning Capability;

-Semi-perfect Resistance to toxins and diseases;

-Enhanced Lifespan;

-Enhanced approachability towards beings with any human ancestry;

*Ps: That world's magic system isn't safe to use offhandedly, so I had to tweak with your body a bit...

Now, that doesn't mean you can cast things left and right without consequence, alright?

...Still, it should give you much more freedom than the rest, to use it as you wish, that is.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Blessing: " Nature's Champion"

Description: You are Mother nature's beloved champion, she protects and cares for you, same with her inhabitants. You are at the top of the nature pyramid. No one, except your goddess, is above you.

Benefits:

-Nature answers your calls and your needs;

-Enhanced Appproachability towards all animals;

-Allow you to 'hear' the whispers of nature and better understand the animals;

-Make you calmer and comfortable when in the presence of forests and 'bodies' of water; }

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wow" I sure as hell wasn't expecting that.

Just the first one is already mind-blowing...

And thank you for the magic support!

The magic here is really a time-ticking bomb, and it wouldn't be as enjoyable to handle it as in other fantasy stories...

All in all, a sweet deal for me!

Sure it doesn't transform me into a living god. But let us be real. Why would a god give godly powers to a nobody?

However, together with Mother's Nature Blessing, oh boy, THEN it makes me turn into a literal demi-god. At least when you put it in a practical GoT-like sense.

Because you see, I'm in Sothoryos.

Yes, it's a literal jungle with overpowered animals and diseases that can kill your average person in hours...

But, here's the thing.

I ain't your average, mortal guy.

"So," I grinned, overlooking the unreal wildlife in front of me, "I guess it's time for me to shake the world of ASOIAF a little bit."

Shall we?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haiyo! Sorry for the intrusion again, just wanted to clarify that Art won't be staying in Sothoryos for long, just enough to gain some knowledge about the plants and their uses, along with the loyalty of some animals, and get accustomed to his 'Gifts'

That's all! Thanks for reading my work. I hope to see you more!
