1 A new Me

After having a quick and unexpected meeting with good old Truck-kun, followed by meeting an old Man in grey robes with a long white beard, it was not that hard to figure out what had happened.

Him telling me that i get to reincarnate with 2 wishes into any world other then the one I came from, cleared any suspicionI had left.

After thinking for a while and maybe being angry that I only got 2 wishes I had made my choices.

For my first Wish I wanted a DnD System that lets me gain all dnd classes and have them all level up to lvl 20.

He ansered that because it was a op wish he had to limit it, so I can gain levels in all classes except the Artificer since he said that would not fit at all. he also told me that my System would be very barebones, no store or magic inventory only a character screen where I could see my xp, my classes and the stuff they give me. Yet as a small token he said that I get to have an Bag of Holding.

After camly thinking about it, it didn't seem that bad after all while a bag of holding is inferior to an "inventory" it is still very usefull and the limitations mentioned were not to bad.

For my second wish I wanted to be the Heir of an noble house of Valyrian decent with a long backstory and that I want to start as a 16 year old During Roberts Rebellion half a year before the Sacking of Kingslanding.

He nodded to that and darkness took me. While being in darkness suddenly knowledge came to me. About my new House and it's History.

House Velthos was a branch family of one of the 40 ruling families of the Valyrian Freehold.

They left old Valyria together with House Velaryon and House Celtigar some time before the Targaryen's. Being a branch family of one of the 40 made them the Leader and strongest family of these 3. They helped each other conquer their respective lands. House Celtigar took claw Isle, House Velaryon took Driftmark and House Velthos took Massey's Hook by deafeating the Alliance of House Bar Emmon and House Massey.

Later when House Targaryen arrived and the Doom happened, they along with the other 2 houses swor themself to House Targaryen and their Foothold of Dragonstone.

While House Celtigar had their Valyrian Steel Axe named Crab's Pincer. House Velaryon had their Valyrian Greatsword Tidebreaker. House Targaryen had the Bastardswords Blackfyre, Starfyre and Sunfyre while also having the Armingsword Dark Sister. House Velthos had the Valyrian Steel Greatsword Fang, the Bastardsword Tusk and the Warhammer Lady Luck.

While this did not show perfectly the difference in Power between these houses since Velaryon was always more Powerful than the Celtigars even tho both had 1 Valyrian Steel Weapon while House Targaryen was lenghes stronger then Velthos with having only 1 V.S. Weapon more than it. That came most obviously in the fact that the Targaryens came with 3 Adult Dragons and many Dragon eggs while House Velthos only had 2 Dragon eggs and no living Dragons while the other 2 Houses had neither Dragons nor eggs.

When Aegon started his Conquest of the 7 Kingdoms House Velthos was their strongest supporter and were given many benefits and treasures as thanks. Among which were becoming the Royal Forgemasters as Velthos were known for their great Smithing and Mettalurgy, getting a writ which states that House Velthos does not have to pay any Taxes to the Iron Throne for the next 500 years and many other small benefits here and there.

Following along they remained supporters of the Targaryen's through time. They stayed neutral during the dance of Dragons, while helping fight against the Blackfyre Pretenders and their Revolts. While House Celtigar became less important and House Velaryon focused on their ships and Trade House Velthos became the center of Smithing and Mettalurgy for the 7 kingdoms. A House that doesn't have smiths trained in Velthos lands can't name themself a great house while small houses can't afford the Masters of the Hook as they are called. Even Maesters of the Citadel sometimes come out of their Library to learn there, while sometimes Masters of the Hook travel to the Citadel to teach.

After having all that knowledge punched into my head I woke up with new memories in an unfamiliar bedroom. I was Young Lord Varion Velthos heir of House Velthos, son of Lord Maegor Velthos and Lady Bhaela Velthos nee Velaryon.

I spent most of my time learning about Lordly matters like etiquette, law, math, reading and writing, war, personal combat and our families tradition of smithing. I am a healthy, big and strong young adult standing just shy of 6ft and having muscles that are developing nicely. I have silver hair and dark purple eyes.

While my father and Lord took the majority of our Houses Soldiers to help in the war I was left behind to rule the Lands.

Taking all that in knowing that I have 6 months till the war ends I need to start planning immedietly, but first i soflty said to my self "System you here?" and with that a simple screen of blue light appeared before me.

//

/ Name: Varion Velthos

/ XP: 400

/ Barbarian: Level 0

/ Bard: Level 0

/ Cleric: Level 0

/ Druid: Level 0

/ Fighter: Level 0

/ Monk: Level 0

/ Paladin: Level 0

/ Ranger: Level 0

/ Rogue: Level 0

/ Sorcerer: Level 0

/ Warlock: Level 0

/ Wizard: Level 0

With 400 xp I could either Level 4 classes to 1 or upgrade 1 class to level 2.

I don't know how most abilities will play out but getting stuff like expertise and extra attack should be really powerful. Also healing abilities or abilities that negate damage should be very goot.

Upgrade Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin and Rogue each to level 1.

For my level 1 Fighter i was asked to choose a fighting style so I chose Defensive, don't feel like dying after Reincarnating you know and for my Rogue level 1 I had to choose targets for my expertise so I choose Smithing Tools and Deception, while I don't have stats it should still be very useful.

Finishing that the blue box updated to show my new levels and I could click on classes to see what abilities I have in each and what they do. Since I have played and watched dnd 5e for hundrets if not thousands of hours I know these abilities by heart no need to check and I closed the window by thinking it away.

Looking around the room I find myself in a nicely decorated Bedroom with a kingsized bed, a wardrobe, one nightstand at each side of my bed, a dresser, a weapon stand and a armor stand. Bright light shines through a window to my right from which I can see the Sea.

My weapon stand holds my training sword, my smithing hammer and the Valyrian Steel Sword Tusk, whilst my armor stand holds my plate armor with a tabard Holding House Velthos Symbol and words.

(House Symbol)

While I was slowly getting up from my bed and walked over to Tusk to hold it in my hands, I heard a knock on my door followed by a female voice "Young Lord I'm coming in."

Soon a young female with blond hair in a simple dress came in, I recognized her as my personal maid Ally. She bowed and closed the door behind me and then helped me get dressed. Whilst it was a weird experience as an adult to have someone dress you it is not bad if it is done by a woman I have to say.
