Following his meeting with the King, Maximus had bought a Potion of Fertility from the system shop. This potion would provide any female with ability give birth to healthy children while they themselves remained healthy during the childbirth, making their chance of dying go away.
Next was the Potion of Vitality, which would give Prince Rhaegar increased Vitality compared to the rest of the Lord and Ladies of Westeros.
Each potion cost 10 system points, so Maximus brought 25 of both potions for a total of 500 system points. He waited two days before he brought 4 of each potion to King Aerys. Maximus could see that the King was still skeptical about these potions that he had given them which is why he brought 4 of each to the King.
One would be tested by the Grand Maester for poison or any other harmful substances. The other three, Maximus explained, were for practical application, one each for the queen, the prince and a spare.
Aerys handed the potions over to the Grand Maester with a strained look of anticipation on his face, and Maximus observed them all being taken away with a hint of satisfaction. It was clear that the king was anxious for the results, holding onto hope as though it were his lifeline.
Two more days passed before the Grand Maester announced that the potions held no poison or ill effects, but he could not determine what exactly they would do to those who consumed them. Aerys wasted no time in offering the potions to Queen Rhaella and Prince Rhaegar.
As weeks turned into months, the effects of the potions became clear. The queen, once often plagued by bouts of illness and miscarriages, was now seen glowing with good health. She was even rumored to be with child again. As for Prince Rhaegar, he too had seen improvements in his health. He was noticeably stronger and more robust. King Aerys' court soon began buzzing with whispers about the miraculous potions and the man who had brought them.
Maximus throughout this time had ventured out to the other Major cities in Westeros leaving the management of the tavern to Maerrario while he explored the rest of the Westeros. First, he decided to visit the southern kingdoms which included the Reach, Dorne, and Stormlands.
His journey first led him to the Reach, the most fertile region of Westeros, ruled by House Tyrell from their seat at Highgarden. Here he met with Lord Mace Tyrell, a jovial and rotund man who enjoyed feasting more than warfare. Maximus impressed him with his fake tales of medicinal breakthroughs in Essos.
His next stop was Dorne, a land as hot as it was striking, ruled by the Martells from their stronghold of Sunspear. Prince Doran Martell, a cautious and calculating man crippled by gout, met with Maximus. Intrigued by the potential of the remedies Maximus provided King Aerys, Doran proposed an alliance wherein Maximus would supply his medicinal potions to Dorne. In exchange, Maximus would receive protection and patronage for his businesses within Dorne.
Naturally he accepted as he had other ways to acquire potions. He could buy Potion makers from his system to continuously produce potions and increase his income as he continued to establish himself. His business wouldn't simply stop at building taverns, but by also selling high value items that were not common in the world.
He also met with Prince Oberyn Martell who talked to him about his taverns which prince Oberyn had visited during one of his many trips to Essos.
Finally, Maximus journeyed to Storm's End, home of House Baratheon. Robert Baratheon boasted a formidable physique and was renowned for his love for wine and women. Robert was less interested in medical marvels than the previous lords but was intrigued by the financial potential of such establishments within his domain, thus granting Maximus permission to operate businesses within Stormlands.
Money was a powerful influencer, and no lord would deny wanting the opportunity to make more of it.
Next, he was supposed to head back North and visit some of the Northern cities of the seven Kingdoms, but his time for being in Westeros was up. He returned to Kingslanding and paid his respects to King Aerys and her grace who just had her second child whom she named Jaehaerys.
King Aerys had started to include Maximus in his small circle of people whom he trusted. It was an unusual feeling, to be part of the small inner circle of a man as unpredictable as King Aerys, but Maximus knew better than to let his guard down despite the apparent trust the King had placed in him.
After paying his respects, Maximus left Kingslanding for Myr where he would begin the next phase of his plan, Establishing a city. First, he needed people which the Dothraki had plenty of as slaves. Next would be to turn those slaves into proper people and instill loyalty within them.
He planned to bring about an entirely new world and was going to start in Essos.
As soon as he arrived, he received a ton of new quests relating to his goal of building himself in Empire in Essos:
[Quest: Have a standing army of at least 5k soldiers]
Rewards: 15k system points
x100 Lawbringers
x100 Warmongers
x100 Black Priors
[Quest: Find and claim a location for your Empire's Capital city]
Rewards: 20k System points
x1000 Stonemasons
x500 Carpenters
[Quest: Defeat all of the Dothraki hordes to increase your population and bring an end to the Nomadic Barbarians]
Rewards: 40k System points
x1 Dragon
x10 Wyverns
And so, with his goals clearly laid out before him, Maximus set out to Slavers Bay to buy some unsullied soldiers. This would complete his first quest and it was also a part of his plan in the first place. Buying unsullied soldiers rather than spending system points was a much better trade as he had more than enough gold to buy the 5k unsullied soldiers which he planned to get.
