Chapter 3

When I opened my eyes, I saw a humanoid shape made out of light. "Why did I pass out, and why are you in my dream?"

"I'm not in your dream. Technically, you are dead."

"What? I didn't even live for one full day. Why did you put me in an orphan with a busted head?"

"You wanted to be a druid, so I put you in a body with the most talent in arcane arts, and I said basically, you are dead. I didn't say you are dead. I pulled your soul back here. You have passed out because you have used all of your mana and entered a depleted state called mana deficiency. If you hadn't cast the last spell, nothing would have happened. But when you use all of your mana, you will pass out immediately. You have to rest or meditate to replenish your mana."

"Then why am I here?"

"At our first meeting, I had to give you two more boons if you accepted the condition, but I wanted to see your face when you realized you were in the Game of Thrones. It was hilarious."

"You can watch me in there?"

"Yes, I can, but I can't get involved with the planet."

"But you pulled me. How did you do it then?"

"In its core, your soul still doesn't belong to this planet; that's why I can pull you here before you pass out. Once you are asleep, I can't pull you. I might be able to get in touch with you in some holy places, but I can't even tell you where they are. You have to find it if you want to talk to me. So, let's get back to work."

"No, no, no, not before I have my answers. Why did you give me broken powers? People get powers with broken scales in novels, and I literally got broken powers."

"I keep telling you, I-am–an-or-der-god. When are you going to get it? Most of the powers I can give you will become useful and powerful after you master them. Do you want more boons or not?"

"What is the condition then?"

"Your memories of the books and the TV series."

"Don't you want me to succeed in this mission? Why are you binding my feet?"

"I want you to succeed; that is why I'm giving you boons. But to get something, you need to give something, and equivalent exchange is important."

"Let me think." I just realized something.

"You think yourself smart, don't you?"

"What? You left a loophole. I will give my memories of the shows and the books, but the feelings stay like sixth sense" I started smirking.

"Okay, smartass. You think you pulled one over, right? Do you think people listen to their inner voice and their senses? Nope. They ignore it almost always, and I'm betting you will not be any different. I'm pulling my loopholes too. You will not remember this deal and can only choose utility skills. I didn't say you can have any power you want; I just said I had to give you two more boons."

"Why do you keep trying to make it harder for me? I really don't fcking understand you." The second I said that, the white light started to get dimmer and dimmer, and the ROB started to get a bigger and darker silhouette.

"Get one thing in your thick skull I'm not your friend, or you are not my equal, mortal. Let's make one thing clear I don't really care about you. Yes, I want you to succeed, but if you don't, I will be sad about it for a few years and completely forget about you. We gods neither need you mortals' faith nor your worship; we are beyond that. How should I say so you would get it beyond a doubt? To us, you all are entertainment and pets, basically. Yes, some gods dote on their creation, like how a human would call their pet their child; it is the same. But most of us love you as our pet, not as our child, and I'm not the latter one. Do you understand me?"

I started to nod my head feverishly. It was like a mountain was sitting on top of me for a second. "Yes, my Lord."

He doesn't have a face, but I felt like he started to smile. "Come on man; you don't need to be so stiff. You can just call me ROB. Let's get this over with. What is your first boon?"

"If I have to master almost every skill, I want to have x5 experience in everything I do."

"Okay, it is possible. The most talented person who ever lived was the Dawn Emperor. He had 5x talent at ruling and magic. Creagan Stark and Dragonknight were 4x, and Arthur Dayne was 3x as a swordsman. What is your second one?"

"If I'm going to have familiars, I want a closed dimension to train them without getting killed. It should have enemies I can train on."

"You will have a dimension you can train your familiars, but you can only stay there for 6 hours a day. You and your familiars will get healed when leaving the area. While you are inside, you cannot be killed, and if someone with hostile intents gets closer than 4 meters, you will be kicked out of the dimension. You can feel when someone gets close to you when you are inside. Lastly, nothing can enter the dimension but you and your familiars."

"Am I going to forget about all of this?"

"Not all of it; you'll just forget about the deal, and the planetos will seem like any random fantasy planet to you. Of course, you will have your sixth sense if you listen to it."

After a prolonged feeling of falling, I jumped from my bed and woke up. I started looking around the room, feeling disorientated after a few minutes. I began to calm down and think about the new skills I got.

"Authenticate 5x skill."

5x: you will earn five times the experience you will get in anything you work on. If your base talent in that field is lower than zero, it will be +5 to your talent.

"Authenticate infinite training skill."

Infinite training: There is a 4x4 meter room inside without any enemies.
