"So Childers isn't the way to get it," I said. Clara nodded in response while my ten men observed everything with wide eyes. No matter how many times they saw it, they always found themselves fascinated by it, even after learning magic and wielding deadly magical weapons.
In the next second, the bodies started to float in front of me and their blood began to pour out of the wounds I inflicted. After extracting every last drop of blood from their bodies, I crystallized it into small red marvels which disappeared from the world. "Dispose of the bodies and ensure that nothing gets out," I instructed the men, who nodded and started to pick up the children's bodies.
I knew it would be hard to replicate the philosopher's stone creation. the philosopher's stone had proven to be incredibly difficult, and this was my 500th failure. I had sacrificed nearly twenty thousand people of various ages and genders, yet I still could not create that damn stone. However, I knew it was possible, and with every failure, I learned more about alchemy and being an alchemist.
And soon there were no bodies here and the only people who were here were me and Clara. Melisandre had already gone out for the training of the girls.
So she wasn't present when the test failed. I was trying to create the philosopher's stone and this was one of many failed attempts that I have done over the years but with every failure, I get closer to making it a reality.
And I get the benefits of learning more and more about alchemy and being an alchemist… what difference between the rules of this world and any magical world out there which aren't many as you still had rules of equivalent exchange...
I would look for a way to, instead of using the philosopher's stone as a cable with access to current, transform it into a battery that would not only serve as magic but also increase the vitality of the user. Achieving a pseudo eternal youth. Not immortality, but at least it was something close. Like Melisandre's necklace, only does not depend on a capricious deity, but depending on life continues to exist in the world. What should be forever... If Night King is defeated of course.
But how hard it would be to defeat a man that could be five to ten times stronger than a human with ice and high attack power?
But how hard it would be to defeat a man that could be five to ten times stronger than a human with ice and high attack power?
Plus he is a glass cannon just one attack from valyrian steel and he is done for it. But I am still not sure about that as I was never able to read the end of A Song of Ice and Fire. As George R. R. Martin never finished his book at least not until my death.
So I am not aware of his true power as the last book was far from the ending of the story and I mentioned it was now taken from the game of thrones and even after so many years I'm still not sure which version is the book or tv series version.
But I'm also there is anyone in this world that I won't be able to take care of. Even the gods will bleed.
My blood magic skills had already far surpassed anyone in this world, and not far from me is Melisandre because of her centuries of experience and my lineage. and I also mastered other variables as well. I could manipulate my own blood and make physical constructs, and I could do the same with other people with a single thought I could make their own blood their worst enemy as it flows inside their bodies.
Even though I still had to check if it works on magical races and truly powerful people.
I also learned how to forge Valyrian Steel to make a weapon, and I even had a ton of
Valyrian Steel came with the treasure that my Krakens rediscovered. and, most importantly, how to revive a dead person. Like what Thoros of Myr did in the series with Beric Donarrrion, or Beric Dondarrion resurrected Catelyn Stark, or what Melisandre did with Jon Snow. Only, mine did not depend on a god, but on my own vitality, a full life. That's why you don't see maegi who are not associated with R'hllor doing this. But with my life force, I can do it without a problem. And it's not long before I'll be able to do it with the philosopher's stone.
Reviving one life in exchange for another is not a dilemma really. There are lives more useful than others, not superior since in the end, we can all die, but more useful for me at least.
So I could control my blood, to forge Valyrian Steel, to revive people, and I also gained a firm grasp on my elements and Now I could control them without needing to concentrate.
And I also perfected my animal control skills. I could possess an animal for a certain amount of time without problems and many other secondary things. There was one thing that was equally important though, and that is, illusions, as well as the ability to summon shadow soldiers like the ones Melisandre created.
Don't think I'm going to get pregnant or some shit like that, but I need the heart of a person capable of using magic. With this heart plus a complex ritual, I can create a shadow that will hide in my own shadow willing to follow my orders. Depending on the amount of magic of the person, would be the level of strength of the creature. In addition to the life force one is willing to sacrifice, which with my blood, that is filled to the brim with life energy is not a problem.
The lineages with the most powerful magic are, in the first place, the people who are directly wizards, and in second place those who have Valyrian ancestry. That is, the Targaryens.
I also started reading about Black magic and necromancy, chronomancy divinity, divine magic, holy magic, and the power of faith as I want to utilize the energy of faith that people create by believing in me.
The core principles behind holy magic essentially, holy magic were based on the power of miracles and the strength of one's belief and faith in their god so all one had to do was to direct their beliefs towards me and use their emotions for him she can channel those emotions and convert it into power basically holy magic.
And because of belief and faith, it will provide me with a continuous source of energy that is outside of my body and also let my followers cast holy magic which would elevate me on a level of God.
But even though I know how to do it, there is still a long way to go for me to work out this system. As this is a kind of cheating and goes against the fundamental rules of the universe.
Plus I now had more gold (money) than all the world's richest men. As after I had handed over the freezing spell to my Kraken they easily were able to freeze a large chunk of water that was filled with gold.
After some processing, I was easily able to extract that gold. And that made me the richest person in the world. Of course, no one is aware of my wealth.
And after the Krakens got the freezing spell they became more deadly, able to stop any ship just after a single cast.
While I am also learning how to craft my own magical weapons and armors. I also started the project of creating armors for my animals and they are magical which would make me nearly unstoppable.
...
"So how do I look?" I asked Clara who was looking at me as I had changed through the transformation.
Even though I already created a way to change your looks, one or two other interesting things, and that is that with my knowledge of the modern world, I had managed to replicate hair dyes, as well as a non-harmful liquid capable of changing the color of the eyes. Handmade contact lenses.
And I made this for a mission that I gave to two of my men and I don't want anyone to recognize them after the mission ends. And I will soon be using these two things.
But aside from that, I was, once again, on my own, as everyone had their homework. And my second objective was the reason I had visited Westerlands. To meet Maggy The Frog, who in theory got her name from the term "maegi", the name was given to blood mages.
I wanted to see if she could see something that I can't see or didn't expect or her theory of that after a reincarnation or transgression the future of the world becomes blank and no oracle or diviner could tell the future because of the influence of reincarnator.
So with those thoughts, I left the place after saying goodbye to Clara.
As it is her own job to handle as today when everyone will super busy she will sneak into the Lannister Fort and see if she could find something interesting sometimes related to dragons.
Yes, I do know I would be looking into the Dragon stone or kings landing the king's castle. But not now as first let's finish this even if she found nothing it doesn't matter.
Plus it's highly probable she will find something after all Lannister is one of the richest houses for centuries.

Maggy The Frog POV -
- Outside Lannisport - Westerlands - Westeros - nearly end of 272 A.D -
I was, as usual, in my cabin waiting for the next customer for some love potion or fate reading. Or maybe... Something even more special, related to darker arts.
Nowadays the business is booming with many customers waiting in line just because of the Anniversary Tourney and I even got visits from nobles, ladies, and men.
And some overly stupid you buds came to express their love to me, their eyes filled with greed. And I got a lot of money from love-struck pigeons.
"This will be 112 copper pennies or 2 Silver stags." I smiled and rubbed my fingers.
Nodding, he brought out a leather pouch and handed me 2 silver stags. While he grabbed the love potion and walked away.
[A/N: 1 copper penny is 1$, 1 silver stag is 56 pennies.]
"Next" I shouted loud enough for the compelled woman outside to hear. And so the next person, a woman, came in.
I repeated this process over a hundred times. Surprisingly, all the people I've met still not had money, I'm guessing it was because of so many rich nobles coming and going and many young budds buying them things or just giving the money to the lower ones. So the woman looked like a whore and I can tell she was a whore just by how many smells she had on her body or by the eyes she looked at the people.
I was about to welcome a new patient when suddenly an arrogant voice sounded.
MAKE WAY, MAKE WAY FOR THE SONS OF MAGISTER MART" a guard in orange attire wielding a short spear shouted at the crowd.
Since casterly rock is not allowed by Lannister to hire sellswords, these people should be the personal guards of the so-called Magister Mart from free cities.
There were a total of twenty bald guards other than the man who shouted who stood in a tight formation surrounding two people who looked identically like twins, except for the dye on their hair.
The guards were pushing people wantonly and without restraint, they hit all who didn't move fast enough and thus destroying the orderly line that was outside. People didn't dare to resist and stuck to small talk about their frustrations with the people around them
Both of them had oiled long hair that was braided into a very short ponytail and a trimmed beard. While one had dark blue dyed hair with hints of the original black still present, the other had dirty blonde mixed in with brown hair.
But then before he could enter they stopped and looked around and they started to sweat and it was the same for the nobles and people all over the place. And before I could even know what was going on.
Their fear turned into terror, causing them to become frightened and start to run, and before I knew it the whole place was empty. Not even a soul could be seen. I gulped down as I didn't know what put such fear into them but I had a feeling it was not good.
And what I didn't expect was what looked like a man who looked huge by normal standards as I did see a man much bigger than him.
He was fully clocked His skin was pale, his hair was long but pulled back in a bun, and his colors were black so he could be a Lannister.
I could see two glowing orbs behind his black mask.
I tried to look into his eyes but wasn't able to. When I tried it I felt dread as I looked down and saw my legs were trembling. And with every step he came closer, I felt like death was walking at me and my heartbeats grew faster and faster.
And I could tell he was a rich kid. 'Maybe he is a Customer is a customer.' I said in my mind trying to calm down the raging emotions inside me…
As he reached towards me he looked at me then moved past me and stopped in front of the work table.
"H-hello," I said to him in a fearful voice as he looked around constantly. I was probably very nervous about him. His clothes were expensive so he was definitely a high lord, especially looking at the huge sword that hung on his back and I could runes that I never saw on the handle of the sword which made my eyes wide open and snap out of my shock.
