Chapter 1 Pre-Selection

    "This is the contract for this competition, Mr. Ian, take a look and if there is no problem, just sign here."

   Ian did not answer, just silently asked the other party to hand the the contract to his hand and started reading it.

  [About the Participation Agreement of Game Of Thrones: Clash Of Lords.

  Party A provides Party B with a way to travel through time, and a body for use in the world of ice and fire.

  Party B voluntarily goes to the world of game of thrones (ice and fire) to participate in this competition, and shall bear the corresponding legal obligations for this purpose. Responsibility rules details, bonus details]

  The organizer of the game is an upper plane organization that came to Ian's world more than ten years ago. They brought extraordinary power that Ian and his world had never had.

  Fortunately, their purpose is not to conquer, but... to entertain themselves.

  What's even more valuable is that they also abide by local laws. For example, in the game that Ian is about to participate in, a contract needs to be signed in advance.

  It took Ian nearly half an hour to read the not-so-long agreement word for word.

  The content of the agreement can be summarized into the following four points:

  1. Competition introduction: This is a competition held in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, with a total of one hundred players participating.

  2. Victory rules: After all players outside the alliance are eliminated or the total points of the alliance exceed 10,000, victory can be declared with the unanimous consent of all players in the alliance. If the players in the alliance cannot reach an agreement, the alliance will automatically be disbanded.

  (Players can form alliances through the auxiliary system after entering the game. Each alliance cannot exceed 4 people.)

  When the final victory is declared, all surviving players will be sent back to the original world one hour after the start of the game.

  3. Bonus rules: If one person wins, he will share tens of billions of dollars. If two people win together, they will share one billion dollars equally. If three people win together, they will share ten million dollars equally. If four people win together, they will share one million dollars equally.

  4. Risk reminder: The death of a player in the game will lead to death in real life to.

  "So, Mr. Ian," the receptionist from the organizer saw Ian put down the documents in his hand and asked, "Do you have any questions?".

"Of course," Ian nodded, "As far as I know , before this, you have held similar competitions more than once, but the prize money is quite satisfactory, but this time the prize money has been increased unprecedentedly, I want to know why?".

"I wonder if you have noticed it. What is the name of our competition?"

  "Game Of Thrones: Clash of Lord?" Ian raised his eyebrows, "To be honest, I don't quite understand the name. I have seen all your previous games, and they are all without exception. They are all Kingdom building competitions, so..."

  "So the type of our competition this time is different from the previous ones," the receptionist said first. "Our previous competitions usually focused on the competition for hegemony after players become lords. so it will give players greater development support and help them get through the early stage quickly.

  In the later stages of the game, the probability of player death will plummet, because when a player finds that he has lost the chance of winning, he only needs to give up the next game, find a small village to hide, and wait until other players meet the victory conditions. Return to the original world as a survivor".

  "But this time it's different?".

  "Yes, this time we put the competition in the game throughout the entire period, which means that players will fall into fierce competition from the moment they land, and even kill each other."

  And this time we will only provide players with extremely limited development resources, and players must take huge risks to compete for them. In fact, I can tell you that a large number of players may not only not get a single resource from the auxiliary system throughout the whole process, but also be exhausted because of certain mechanisms. 

  Therefore, in this competition, the risks faced by players are greater than any before. It can even be said that it would not be a surprise if only single digits of players survive in this competition.

  "Can you give me more specific information? " For example, the mechanism that you mentioned will make players exhausted? "Ian interrupted the receptionist.

  "Of course, not" the receptionist shook his head, keeping an unchanging textbook smile on his face, "Any specific game mechanism needs to be viewed by players after entering the game. "

  The receptionist handed the signature pen to Ian, "Okay, I have informed you of the risks in advance. Before the final list is confirmed, you can choose to withdraw from the competition or sign?".

  "You know I have no choice," Ian smiled and shook his head, took the pen handed by the receptionist, and signed his name on the agreement.

  He was seriously ill and could not afford the huge medical expense, he have less than three months to live. No matter how risky the game is, this was his only chance. To put it bluntly, even if he died in the game, as long as he could survive for three months in a different world, it would still be a profit.

  So when he received the organizer's invitation to participate, he immediately agreed and participated in several pre selection assessments. The assessment was divided into answer tests, situational tests and competition tests, and he was admitted in order of total score.

  Although Ian did not participate in the competition test due to physical reasons, he still stood out from nearly 10,000 applicants with his high scores in the first two subjects and got a spot in the main competition.

  "Okay, Mr. Ian, your participation quota has been finally confirmed." The receptionist was operating on the tablet. "Please take a rest. After our working group has processed the participation status of all players, I will bring you to go to the operating room."

  Ian did not answer, just closed his eyes and waited for the results.

  After a while, the receptionist spoke again: "Mr. Ian, a total of 27 players who have obtained the quota for the main competition have withdrawn. These players have been replaced by the applicants who ranked lower."

"So few? less than a third of the participants withdrawn?" Ian was a little surprised.

  "Haha, Mr. Ian , you must know that not all contestants come from a peaceful and rich country like yours. For those residents living in war torn areas, facing a bonus of hundreds of millions, 90% The mortality rate is not worth mentioning at all."

  The receptionist laughed sarcastically.

  "In addition, I have some not so good news to tell you. The two allies you made an appointment with have already withdrawn from the competition. Therefore, in the early stages of this competition, you may be stuck fighting alone."

  Ian heart sank.

  He actually had a premonition about the withdrawal of his agreed allies. After all, his two allies were from the United Kingdom, and their living conditions were not bad. It was completely reasonable that they weren't willing to risk their lives.

  But when he actually heard the news, he inevitably felt uncomfortable, because it meant that the difficulty of his early game had reached another level.

  "Mr. Ian, if you are ready, please come with me."

  "Okay."
