Part 5 - First week

272 AC

(Escanor POV)

So that's what happened. Now let's come back to what this means. I got all the powers from Escanor from the 7 deadly sins anime/manga. That in itself is already OP in this world. And that's cool. Some might say it's too much, others might enjoy it. Personally, I like it. There was a problem with the weaknesses.

I knew that Escanor from the manga/anime was terribly weak at night and in the evening. That was not something I could allow for myself. So at first, I thought I could simply train and build muscle. Then I wouldn't be as weak as Escanor was when the sun isn't out. But that wasn't enough for me. In a world such as Game of Thrones, weakness will kill you. There are dragons, magicians, crazy kings, whoremonger kings and crazy child kings. And so much more. All those things can and will kill me if I show weakness.

And then I thought about my other wishes. I could use the other wishes to help me with my weakness during the night. What I thought of was of course a devil fruit from One Piece. Devil Fruits change the users 'Lineage Factor' or DNA. Meaning that Akainu who ate the Magu Magu no Mi is literally a magma human. His DNA has been altered by the fruit to make him so. This means that should I create a devil fruit with the power of the sun ...

Exactly! I will become a sun human. Meaning I will be similar to the sun. Finally, this would negate my weakness during the night at the price of a weakness to seawater.

But! But, there is a possibility that this weakness only counts for seawater from the respective world of One Piece. So maybe I can still swim. However, even if I can't it's still useful.

The so-called nerf the being talked about is nothing major, to be honest. It just doesn't allow me to develop special abilities with my devil fruit. Unlike in One Piece where the owner can create abilities for his devil fruit, I can't do that.

The joke's on him though. I don't even need that particular function because I have Sunshine. This is the magic that Escanor has. Sunshine already grants me Sun magic. I can create abilities through magic so no problem on that front.

The sun sun fruit is a logia fruit. Normally this would mean that only Haki, seastone and seawater can harm me. And in a world without Haki and seastone I'd be overpowered. No! This is the biggest nerf. I do not have a logia state, so to speak. I can be harmed by physical attacks, should they be able to overcome my resistance, which is ridiculously high.

The last thing to finish off this topic is the 'gift' I was promised. I have a very good idea of what it is. Since I remembered the meeting with this 'being' I could feel a slight pull from somewhere. Like something is calling out to me and waiting for me to get it. Should my assumption prove correct then I'll truly become Escanor, or a better version of him.

.

During this week I experienced for the 'first' time what it means to be a baby. The reason I say first and not second is because no one remembers what it was like to be a baby. And let me tell you that it's not exactly as the fanfictions put it. I read somewhere the MC hates being a baby because of the lack of self-control and the boredom. This is true to some extent. It's terribly frustrating not to have any control of your sphincter muscles. My bladder and bowels do whatever they wish whenever they wish without asking for permission.

This is embarrassing for a grown man. BUT, there is something that is wrong with the stories I read. When I lie there in a crib next to my mother Joanna or she takes me into her arms, I feel very ... good. It's hard to find the right words. It's like there is a special bond that I share with my mother and the rest of the family. So whenever I'm cared for by my mother, I feel good and ... loved ... or something like that. It's all new to me.

This 'bond' is not that strong with my siblings and the less talked about my father the better. I know about Tywin Lannister and his dream to build a dynasty which lasts a 1000 years. With me here, there is a good chance for House Lannister to experience this. This depends on whether or not we bump our heads against each other. Our ideologies are fundamentally different. Where Tywin would not lose a night of sleep over thousands of innocent dead men, women and children he's responsible for, I would not do something like that.

I'm sure we'll argue quite a lot and the first argument is probably about Tyrions baseborn wife Tysha. For someone with my past, I would never allow my father to go through with something like that. This will make me look weak in my father's eyes, but I don't care. The reason why I'll be able to do something about the Tysha-situation and stand up to him is simple. After all ... he's weak and I'm going to be the strongest. This is a dog-eat-dog world and strength is the only thing that matters.

Other than that, I'll be able to learn a ton of things from Tywin Lannister. He's not the Hand of the King for no reason. His tactical mind, his shrewdness, cleverness and ruthlessness will be things I'll try to copy or at least learn how to utilise or fight against.

My siblings are both as I imagined they'd be. Cersei was quite pretty already at six name days. I can see that she seems to care for me a great deal and probably thinks of the time when she'll have a baby as well. A lady through and through. I don't have much time but if I can I'll try to change her a bit. She had a terrible character in the show. Born out of bad parenting on my father's side. Mother died too soon in the story to shape Cersei and Jamie. I'll try my best in that regard.

Jamie is also ... pretty. Haha. I can see him doing whatever his sister tells him to, whenever they're in my room and spend some time with me. Maybe I can beat the simp out of him... Eh, probably not. But I can still just beat him for the heck of it. He's already talking nonstop about sword fighting, becoming a knight or honour. I'm sick and tired already and I can't speak yet.

The language barrier is nonexistent. Somehow I'm able to understand them perfectly. I don't know why and I don't care. Talking will take a while though. I'm not in a rush, however.

Better to enjoy sleeping all day while I can.
