Chapter 3 - Training and Powers

I left the hut and went straight to the forest. Along the way, I attracted a lot of attention becuase of my increased charm which I think was a bonus to my buffs. Forest feels like a natural habitat to me, I know how to set traps,hunt and skin animals it feels as though they are instinct. ''Thea, open shop panel'' 

Shop: [skills] [bloodlines] [magic] [skrolls] [tools] 

Hm, choose skills related to eyes under 30 World energy

Predator's gaze-20: can put spiritual pressure on intented targets

Night Vision-8: helps to see in even the darkest places

Hypnotic Eyes- 25: Eyes that can entrance, mesmerize, or manipulate the minds of others through direct eye contact(only works on mortals)

X-ray vision - 15: allowing user to see through solid objects and expose their hidden structures and components.

Right now, the best investment would be first one, ''choose first one''

 *suddenly Theron's original light green eyes took the shades of dark green, they seemed to hold power.

''It feels euphoric, let's test it'' Theron said as he concentrated into the distance.His vision was covering trees,bushes and even some larger insects in a wide area. Suddenly, he saw a disturbance in the grasses near a weirwood tree, a grey rabbit was fearfully looking at him and rightfully so as Predator in human skin was trying to find a experiment toy. His eyes slightly seemed to radiate a glow and rabbit became paralyzed. 

As Theron, picked up the rabbit it was trying to fight for its pitiful low life force. Theron slowly and painlessly took the animals life. He did not feel an empathy for its life.

''Hm, looks like animals can not handle high pressure and my eyes seems strained. I need to get used to it'' Theron thought to himself. 

Theron spent hours getting used to his newfound eyes till it they felt like a natural part of him. 

After saying goodbye to fellow villagers, Theron went on his way to High Garden in the early morning. 

Cayn gave basic sword,arrow,few coins to him as a gift. 

Along the way, he ate the rabbit meat that he hunted earlier and pondered about possible ways to use his power.'Really,it was not that tasty'. When, he reached one of the central towns of the Reach. He asked for nearest meele-combat. As he strolled downs the streets of town, his tall and almost majestic appereance drew people's eyes. Even, one women cut her fingers as she was preparing a meal wondering who might this young man be.

''I should practice learn my swordsmanship and gain basic knowledge''Theon thought as he stood at the entrance to a nearby fighting pit. After registering his name and paying for it, he stood near the corner of the fighting pit. In the opposite corner, a blonde man in his 20s stood with his sword and stepped into the arena. "Start the fight'' said announcer.

Theron jumped into the Arena and pointed his sword to his oppenent. And suddenly,man tried to slash Theron's right shoulder but Theron could clearly see the trajectory of the weapon. He stepped on the the side and elbowed the man face nearly shattering his jaw. He was instantly unconscious. Next fights with several man ended in quick victory. Earning him the nickname ''Swiftblade''

Last fight was a large and jacked warrior with axes. He attacked with intent to kill with each strike.It pissed of Theron, He kicked the man's knee making him kneel and piercing his stomach with his both hand holding the sword.He died shortly after. As Theron killed a human for the first time in his life he was feeling conflicting emotions. His right hand which was holding the sword was sweating and ground felt like it was sinking. ''Calm down,calm down,HUH, it was me or him!'' Yet he did not understand that every time he gained something he was losing part of his humanity.

''Who the fuck is he''a knight said to his companions.

''I do not know, must be new to town'' a rusty voice said.

''I lost all my money to that bastard'',

''Curse him'' 

Theron earned enough morney for a month-stay in a nice place after the arena fights.

After placing his things in his inventory, Theron tried to sleep but could not do it 

''Thea, tell me what is going on with me''Theron said with confusion

- 4 hours of sleep is sufficient for you and your body replenishs energy itself

Theron sighed and looked through the window to distant places with his vision. After some consideration, He got up and jumped from the window to ground with ease. He started running and for some reason he was feeling exhilarated. He sped up his movement and reached a secluded place and practiced his some martial arts he bought at System Shop for a mere 2 points till morning.

His every movement became calculated and every step he took seemed slightly weightless. His strength and speed now were in perfect harmony. 

For the next several months, he participated in tourneys as a ''SwiftBlade'' but some people hesitated to call him knight as he might use unorthodox way of fighting such as punching and kicking in meele-combats. The Reach's nobles began to pay special attention to him and for various reasons. Most women were interested in making him their personal boy toy which Theron found disgraceful. 

In a tavern, a dark-haired and tall, jacked young man with dark green eyes clothed in a nice attire could be seen sitting in the corner with two beautiful women in their early 20s both of them were also dark-haired. Yes, it was Theron and two noble young high-birth women. They were smitten by his looks and power to crush his enemies.Theron was enjoying them and using them to gain information about High Garden. His main aim was to get close to Tyrells. Somehow, he managed to get meeting with them. He had to see the bigger fish in the sea.

As Theron was walking in the hall of the High Garden, his entire body seemed to radiate almost attracting aura. So, he reached the door to the meeting place and entered the room. In a chair,a middle-aged woman was writing a report and she gestured to stand at the entrance not sit with her hands. 

''Olenna Tyrell, a quick-witted women, seems like a refined lady who values tradition and family honor. However, as many have learned the hard way, this mask conceals a brilliant and ruthless political mind. She is not afraid to use manipulation, cunning, and even murder to achieve her objectives.OH fun'' Theron thought to himself.

''So, Sir Theron or Swiftblade as common folk calls you.You have certainly managed to intrigue us. You look like an understanding man. Let's go straight to the point, serve us."Olenna said as she raised her eyes from her papers.

''Oh, I am no sir for I do not claim to be a knight but a swordsman''

''Hm, I heard those words from somewhere. AH,Braavos. So what do you say?''

''It would be honor to serve you,but now I feel like I lack proper knowledge and experience to be in the same place as you'' (fuck serving, give me a free pass to Westeros and High Garden, The Reach and ancient knowledges)

''What do you need?Coins?''

'' I would love to explore the Westeros from Citadel to Dorne before the Great Tourney''

'' You can freely walk as a Highgardener in any place but you will have duty''

''Of course, M'lady''

After talking some minute things with Olenna, Theron walked to his room to pack things up. But, suddenly his senses told him to go to a corner of the hall. Thus, he suspected there was something hidden in site. He tilted his head to see a ....
