===================
But after seeing their price tagging, Damian's eyes widened a lot. A Dragon egg costs more than One million Gold coins. A Kraken larva was worth half the price while a Pheonix egg cost more than Ten million gold coins. Even if Damian had the money, he couldn't buy them now as his status is too low. He had to wait until he upgrades his Status in the system to Castle Lord, a territory as big as Bear Island in the real world and with 100 thousand citizens who are living in his territory.
For now, Damian couldn't buy any of the magical beasts without sufficient status, territory, human power and money. Therefore, he went back and looked at the other functions that were provided by this game-like system.
He went ahead to see another option of Recruitment where he could buy real human beings. Yes, actual human beings from different ethnicity, with different skills and professions and who spoke various languages from both his previous world and current world.
All you need is money and then you can buy a person with Valyrian blood who speaks Old Tongue and have the profession of a rat-catcher.
Damian could give them any profession of his choosing, language to speak and a race of his liking.
The only fly in the ointment was that there was a restriction on the number of people he could buy and it only increased with raise in his status.
As village chief, with no people currently under him, he could buy a total of hundred humans from the system.
Each human was prized at 5 gold Dragons with no profession. If Damian gives them any profession such as Mason, Blacksmith, Sailor, Miner, and such. Their prize would increase accordingly. And the prize went up to 10000 for a person who was well versed in glassmaking. But he could only have knowledge that is researched in this world.
Damian couldn't buy a person who had the knowledge of making an Atomic bomb. As there was no such person in this world with that knowledge.
Damian almost drooled when he saw the profession of Valyriansteel Smith but seeing its price made his mouth dry again.
Twenty-five million Gold Dragons. Fuck!
There was another restriction on it, which stated for acquiring a profession that came under supernatural power needed his status to rise to a King who had a million citizens in his kingdom that covered a land area as big as the Dorne. Motherfucker!
Damian went onwards to the Map option that showed him a screen of the world of Planetos. It had a general outline of the continents that were known to him or more specifically to the people of Westeros. The area where he had travelled was more accurate and filled with details that he would not even see in maps that were in possession of Manderley or the Starks. It would update and new land would become clearer as he travelled to them or saw their maps in the real world.
It also showed the time to the minute and date that was in line with this world. Plus, a compass showed what direction he was facing.
Now this alone was a boon to him if he wanted to travel the world. He would never get lost no matter where he was in this world and cut short the travel time of his ships since he would be able to take a straight path and cross the ocean without fear of losing his direction.
Heading to the next option which is the Warehouse. It was quite self-explanatory. It had unlimited space and could hold any non-living thing he wanted to place in it for storage. From grains, clothes, weapons, and fruits, to massive things as big as a ship. Anything that was not attached to the ground could be stored in the warehouse with just a touch of his hand. Also, anything put inside the warehouse would not rot or degrade.
Man, Damian could already think of ways to utilize this option to make immense profits and get wealthy faster than anyone could in this world.
"Ah, damn another option with a limitation. Fuck!" Damian cursed when found a paragraph that stated that he could not transfer an object that was a possession of someone else. For example, he could not go to the harbour and steal ships that were not his in the dark of the night or loot someone's armoury if he was able to get inside one.
But, if he was able to, say capture a ship or any object in a way that its owner could not retrieve it, then he could become the new owner of it. Let's say, he captured an Ironborn ship after attacking it or by other means, he just had to keep it in his possession for a short time that is seventy-two hours or three days. Then the possession would change to him, and he could store it away in his warehouse.
Nonetheless, it was a very useful option that would bring him a lot of gold and make him the richest in the world.
This world doesn't seem so dangerous to him anymore.
Damian finally got to the option that he set aside to see at last which was his build.
[ Name: Damian Silvius Stark ]
[ Title: Adventurer ]
[ Status: Village Chief ]
[ Age: 14 ]
[ Money: 200 Gold Coins ]
[ Store ]
[ Build ]
Str -> 11
Dex -> 12
End -> 10
Will -> 8
Int -> 12
Constitution -> 9
Special Stat:
Mana -> 8(+5) (Locked)(Unlocks at 10 points)
Free Points -> 3
[Every Five years, on your nameday, a free point would be given freely that you can add to any of the above stat.]
Bloodline -> First Men
Special Abilities:
Warg -> 0
Greenseer -> 0
Special Attribute Points -> 1
[Every Ten years you get one free Special Attribute point. To gain more points, practice in the given ability.]
Damian went through every stat to learn what they did. The first five were self-explanatory.
An adult average human had stats around 10. Some could have more or less depending on their genes, diet, training, and environment. Damian had pretty good stats for his age but he was not satisfied with them.
An adult average Knight had one or more stat between 12 to 15 or more. And it was quite easy to die as an average knight. Damian wanted to become a person that could face a giant in strength, a horse in speed and a wolf in endurance. If he could he wanted to become a Demi-God that could battle the Night King or any other supernatural being with his body alone.
But there was no way to increase the build other than growing naturally or through training in the yard which also had limitations.
Damian could only wait and try to find other ways in the world of planetos to increase his stats to become unkillable or invincible.
