[Jon Snow's perspective]

The first thing I did when I woke up, was toss and turn in my bed. I felt a bit of pain in my back and shoulders, so I wanted to find a comfortable position so I could be at ease while I woke up fully. But, when I did exactly that, I realized I wasn't in my bed, or even in my room inside Winterfell. Where I was lying, it was hard, rough, even damp.

It was at that moment that I realized something had happened. I opened my eyes and stood up immediately, only to be hit by a dizziness; my vision swayed all over, as did my body, as I nearly fell to the ground hard.

This isn't my room, nor is Winterfell, nor even the North. That was the conclusion I immediately came to, after having looked around me. The floor was dirt, wet, damp, close to mud.

I let out a grunt of annoyance at the sight and feel of being stained with mud. But, despite the discomfort, I knew this wasn't right. There was no way I would suddenly appear here. The temperature was too high to be in the north, especially with the almost cloudless sky and the sun shining brightly. In the distance, there was too much vegetation, large and long green bushes, trees with large trunks, with branches full of green leaves, from which vines also hung.

"What happened?" I asked myself out loud. On the one hand, I wanted to believe that this was a joke from my brothers. On the other hand, this could be a dream. But it was too real. The feeling of the sunlight warming my skin, the heat that made me feel a little suffocated and the feeling of the mud on their arms and back.

Frowning, I decided to walk forward. I was a little scared, because I was in an unknown place, just in my nightclothes. I didn't even have shoes or a weapon to defend myself with. And this gave me a little chills, in front, where what seemed like a forest began, everything was unknown, from the trees and plants, to the small sounds I could hear in the distance.

But, as I was about to carefully step onto the grassy ground, something appeared in front of me. It wasn't a person, nor a beast. Not even a mosquito. It was a light that appeared. Blue and white in a small sphere, before a line appeared dividing the sphere before that light expanded into a box with floating, written words.

"W- What is this?"

I immediately backed away, trying to get away, but that box of light just followed me, half a meter away from my face. I didn't even read the words, I just turned to the side, but that thing appeared in front of me again. I tried to brush it away by moving my hand, as if it were an annoying fly, but my hand just passed the thing, as if it were a ghost.

I gritted my teeth and looked. The words didn't seem to have changed, they just stayed there for me to read.

[You have been blessed by a certain god.]

[The god likes to listen and see adventures.]

[Complete quests and you will receive rewards that no mortal could imagine.]

[Tap here with your finger to begin your adventure.]

"God?... This makes no sense!"

I gritted my teeth. It made no sense, none of this made sense. God blessed me? I'm just a bastard, one of many that exist in Westeros. There was no way a god would give me his blessing. And yet, I was seeing this, I was feeling everything that was happening. I closed my eyes for a moment, thinking about it all.

What if it was true? What if I was really blessed? Maybe that's why I wasn't in Winterfell. But, still...

Biting my bottom lip, I looked at the words in the damn box, especially the last sentence.

[Tap here with your finger to begin your adventure.]

I never had anything; Since I was little, I could never say that I had anything. In the end, I was just a bastard. In the eyes of most, I was simply someone who could steal what belonged to my brother, Robb.

But if this was true, maybe I can...

I hesitated, I really did. I hadn't moved from where I was standing, I simply stared at the box for a few seconds. I closed my eyes to think for a couple of minutes, I even clenched my fists at the absurdity of this whole situation. But, despite everything, I wanted to believe that someone really favored me.

Slowly, I raised my hand and pointed with a finger, then touched the indicated space. After that, not even a second later, the box only grew larger as a bunch of things hit the ground. I looked, once again shocked by what I was seeing. Out of nowhere, a set of clothes and other things, had appeared out of nowhere in the air, only to hit the ground.

I looked up at the box. More words had appeared.

[You have agreed to begin your adventure]

[You have been rewarded with a novice adventurer package]

[To continue, just think so you can learn more about the adventurer help system]

"I…" I didn't even know how to react. I couldn't think properly anymore. All I did was check the things that had touched the ground. Shirt, pants, socks, leather boots, even leather gloves. There was a set of clothes that looked really comfortable and sturdy. All of a light and dark brown color. On one side of this set, there was a belt with small pouches, a dagger, a knife, a sword, and also a small shield.

I didn't hesitate too much, at least after checking each thing. There was nothing wrong with them, so I decided to use them. For a moment, as I cleaned my feet as best as possible, I thought it might be too stifling in the heat, but when I was all set and dressed, it felt strangely refreshing. The boots and gloves even had certain metal parts for better protection.

For a moment, I thought that this was the best set of clothes I had ever had in my life.

The sword, it was not one I was used to. It was the size of a normal sword, but its shape was different. Unlike a common sword, this one curved towards the tip, looking more like a pointed fang than a sword.

When I had everything on, with the dagger on my belt, as well as the sword and shield in my left hand, I looked at the box. I was still feeling a little nervous, unsure about this whole divine blessing thing, but here it was, with no other apparent alternatives. What else could I do? Walk forward, in that forest that gave me chills just by looking at it? I didn't want to die.

So, I obeyed the last sentence of the box.

[To continue, just think so you can learn more about the adventurer's help system.]

I thought of that phrase, focused my eyes, and thought about continuing. As I did so, the box changed again. Its size increased again, with a bunch of words written on it.

[From now on, the adventurer's help system will be linked to Jon Snow. No one but him will be able to see it.]

[Talking out loud or touching the help system is not necessary. You will be able to think things through to interact with the system, just like you did to advance towards learning this help system.]

That was... useful. I hadn't thought about it, but it sounded good. I was sure that if someone had seen me talking on air about blessings and such, they would take me for a madman.

[The adventurer's help system is a tool that only Jon Snow (Blessed by a God) can use. Its functions are for him to use, but each reward can be shared or given away if Jon Snow decides so.]

[Talking about the adventurer's help system with other people is strictly prohibited.]

[The system's functions will appear at this time, each with an explanation.]

[Status: The status screen is where the attributes and details about the person (host) named Jon Snow will appear. Here you will be able to see things like your age, your name, your adventurer rank, even your physical and mental attributes.]

[Quest Board: In this window, you'll be able to access the list of quests that the system posts. These quests are divided into ranks. You can only take quests that match your adventurer rank, and every so often, only one quest one rank higher than yours will appear, where you can obtain much better rewards.]

[Rank Test: In this window, you'll find the option to increase your rank. Here, you'll be able to access a unique quest to increase your rank. In order to access the quest, you'll need to complete a certain number of quests and obtain merit points.]

[Storage: This window is the system's special storage space. It's an unlimited space where you can store anything you want. Rewards, from now on, will be stored in this place for later use. Warning: Food will rot after a while. It's impossible to store a living thing.]

It was... too much information. More than I had thought. At the moment, I didn't even know what a rank was in this thing. But I understood how surprising it could be. Just by looking at the storage, I realized that this couldn't be done by a mortal, and it seemed too much like magic.

"Um... Can I see my status?" I asked, a little hesitantly. I knew I could think of it, but I was still unsure of all of this. Plus, there was no one around me.

I sighed as the information window popped up, only for another one to pop up. However, when I looked at my name, I was confused, only to stand there motionless, staring at the part where my name was written.

Name: Jaehaerys Targaryen (Jon Snow).

Age: 12

Rank: Iron.

Agility: F

Stamina: F

Dexterity: E

Mind: E

"W- What... does that mean? Hey, help system, respond!"

It didn't make sense. It didn't. I was Jon Snow, the bastard of the Lord of Winterfell. That was me, someone who had nothing and couldn't possess anything. My name wasn't... it wasn't Jaehaerys.

[The status window shows the host's identity and their physical and mental state, as well as their inherited traits. Nothing is a lie.]

"But... but... then, I am...", I swallowed hard, unable to finish my words. I was always a bastard, everyone treated me like one. And now, after an awakening where I didn't understand anything, I thought I could finally clear things up. But I only have more doubts.

My father lied to me.

"No..." I looked at the ground as I clenched my fists and growled. I felt my face heat up from the rage I was feeling.

"Is he really my father?"

It hurt to think about it, but the rage I was feeling overwhelmed the feeling of pain and betrayal. I wanted to go back and ask, I needed answers. But I knew I couldn't. I didn't know where I was and the heat of the place only made me angrier, because I understood that I couldn't receive the answers I wanted.

I was trapped here, unable to have answers.

"Damn it!"

The Beginning of the Adventure (II)

Jon's eyes stared ahead as he used his sword to cut down the large plants and bushes in front of him. His dark grey eyes shone with obvious annoyance. Even though he had decided to move forward so as not to stay in the same place, his mind still wandered off from time to time, thinking about the shocking information he now knew.

All his life he was Jon Snow, but he had just discovered that that was not his real name. Which only raised more unanswered questions.

Was my father Rhaegar Targaryen? Or perhaps Aerys Targaryen? Jon, who didn't even know what to call himself, asked himself many questions. But he knew that there weren't too many Targaryens years before his birth. The mad King and the prince who was his son. There was also Queen Rhaella Targaryen, but he doubted that she was his mother.

Is Lyanna Stark my mother? It was another question that was born in his mind. Everyone knew about what happened with his aunt and Prince Rhaegar, but that would still make him a bastard, if it turned out that those two people were his father and mother.

"Jaehaerys… Jaehaerys Targaryen…" Jon muttered as he snorted a little. "Maybe I'm not a bastard?"

"The system says no lies in my status window, so I…" Jon couldn't help but slightly grit his teeth. Sadly, at that very moment, he had to stop. His thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a large spider web with a huge spider and smaller ones walking across the web formed between various trees, branches, and leaves.

"Gods…" Jon stepped back, a little scared by what he was seeing. That large spider, it wasn't normal. It was the size of a grown man's head, with long black legs and fangs dripping with what could be venom. Jon couldn't help but shiver and tremble a little at the large arachnid. It was disgusting, ugly, dangerous. He just wanted to get away and take another path, which he really did. He didn't want to have those little things crawling all over his body, much less that monstrosity biting his face.

So, slowly backing away and still staring at the web, he began to veer off to another side.

"System, do you know where I am?"

The only response he got, was the quest board window in front of his eyes. Jon stopped and looked, slightly squinting his eyes to read.

[Quest: The Infernal Forest]

[Rank: Iron]

[Description: Many adventures, may take you to unknown and dangerous places. Your mission is to find clues about the unknown place you have been sent to]

[Reward: World Map, Adventurer's Camp Pack]

Jon frowned. The quest he was looking at, didn't seem too difficult. But, if that damn spider was any indication of the dangers that lay in the forest, he was in more danger than he initially thought. If there was a spider that big, then there were probably large snakes as well, after all, it was a forest full of vegetation.

"It seems I can only go forward to find out more," Jon sighed a little before looking to his left and starting to walk. The trees all looked the same. Dark brown trunks and large roots sticking out of the ground, making the path annoying. The large canopies blocked out the sun a bit, but the humidity and heat seemed to get worse as he walked and cut down some large plants and bushes.

As he walked, Jon stopped thinking about his identity, deciding it was best to focus on staying safe and completing the mission. While his identity was something very important to him, he didn't want to die here, completely alone and not knowing where he was. But, that was also the problem. Not knowing where he was, he also didn't know where to go. He had no idea what could be around him.

Jon didn't know how far he had walked, but he continued forward, looking around with a bit of fear, but also at himself. He didn't want a huge spider to fall on his head by surprise.

But, to his surprise and terror, he heard a river. From what they had said when he went hunting with Robb and others, a river could be a good thing if you found it when you were lost. So, it was a surprise to hear a river with water running through it, but that surprise turned into terror when he arrived after walking a few meters. The river did not have clean water, but rather a murky, dirty water, almost like mud. And on the other side, he could see animals he did not know.

All the same, with the only difference that some were larger than others. They were four-legged, with their bellies touching the ground. Their bodies were surrounded by dark green scales and they seemed to be resting on the other side of the river, taking in the sun that reached them.

Jon, for obvious reasons, did not cross or touch the river, he simply walked carefully while looking at the animals on the other side. His side of the river did not seem to have other animals. So, he walked to the left. The water was running in that direction, so there might be an end, a mouth.

But, as he walked, he heard growls. Jon looked to the other side, where he saw two of those animals in what looked like a fight. One of them managed to bite the other, only for it to spin on its body.

Jon's eyes bulged as he saw how the other animal's leg twisted at the sudden and powerful movement. The limb was removed, with what seemed to be the greatest of ease.

"Gods... I better not get any closer," Jon muttered, watching as the injured animal, now without a limb, walked towards the river before sinking into it.

"I really need to find a safe place," as he said that, Jon accelerated his walk as he advanced along one of the banks of the river, holding his sword tightly. And so he continued, walking without stopping, feeling the heat of the sun on him. His steps were firm, until he felt that a few hours had passed. Jon was hungry, thirsty, and exhausted from everything he was going through; physically, from being in a place with conditions he wasn't used to; mentally, from what he had discovered about himself and the thought that he might never be able to get out of the jungle full of dangers.

When Jon wanted to take a break, his eyes saw something that prevented him from doing so. They were pieces of broken and rotten wood. However, it wasn't normal wood he was seeing. The pieces didn't look misshapen and pointed as if they were torn or cut from a tree, but wood that could have been refined into long pieces. Jon immediately ran closer, getting closer to see them better.

The pieces were in the river and on each of the banks. Disordered, broken, but straight. There was mold and grass growing on some that were further into the bank, near the trees. Looking further around, Jon saw nothing else, but this was evidence that there were people in those places.

"Maybe boats?" Jon wondered to himself.

Sothoryos (I)

Jon wanted to scream, but he didn't have the strength to do so. After having walked after seeing the wood in the river, he decided to continue on his way, as there was no point in staying in that place, not when he didn't even have the resources to make a small, safe camp. But, his persistence to continue forward, paid off when he found what was left of a small boat. The boat was broken in half, sunken in the river, but with enough to cross to the other side, where the reason for his desire to scream was.

There, before his eyes, was a city. Or rather, the ruins of a city. Stones piled up in what looked like remains of buildings, vegetation growing everywhere, trying to reclaim what was left of the city. Jon didn't even take the time to try to investigate the destroyed boat, he simply carefully jumped between the planks and large pieces buried and sunken, in order to reach the other side.

He didn't know what the city belonged to. It could have been part of a kingdom, or just an ordinary city, that rose up in these parts of the jungle. Jon's hope for finding food remained the same, but this might be enough for him to complete his quest. Those thoughts made him want to scream in relief as he walked towards the ruins, looking curiously at the dirt paths between all the destroyed buildings. That's when he realized that the city, despite having things built out of stone, much of the rest were wooden constructions.

There was no evidence of people, not even bones. It was just a ruined city. But, a little further away, he could see what was left of a wall.

[Quest: The Infernal Forest]

[Rank: Iron]

[Quest Completed!]

The system window appeared in front of Jon's eyes, only for another window to appear, with the rewards. Jon, happy to have completed the quest, thought of storage to open said system window and look at his rewards.

The first thing he saw was a drawing of a package and when he thought about it, a description appeared.

[Adventurer's Camping Pack: Contains the essentials to set up a camp and survive for several days]

[▪ Tent]

[▪ Sleeping bag]

[▪ Lighter]

[▪ Several cans of food]

[▪ Small box of medicine]

[Map of the known and unknown world: It is a map of the entire world and shows you where you are at all times]

Jon inhaled deeply before taking out the map. He was hungry and tired, but he wanted to know where he was, he needed it. The map appeared in his hand out of nowhere and Jon carefully opened it. His eyes first went towards Westeros, then through Essos, until he saw a red dot indicating his position with the words "you are here."

"Sothoryos..." Jon muttered as he read the name, but there was also another name right above the dot of his location.

"Zamettar... I don't know anything about that. But I do remember Maester Luwin talking a bit about Sothoryos. I think it was the place Princess Nymeria passed through, long before she came to Dorne," Jon thought, nervous about his chances of returning to his old life.

Swallowing hard, Jon saved the map to the system storage, so he could get a better look at the ruins. He had a lot to think about and needed to rest, so he decided to look for some structure that was relatively in good condition. After doing that, which took several minutes, he went to get some wood around him, so he could make a good fire.

. . .

Looking up at the holey ceiling, Jon was inside his sleeping bag, leaving only his face visible. He was warm and had done the right thing in creating a fire, as the night was indeed cold. But, while he was not cold thanks to completing his first quest, his mind was flooded with things.

After he had created a fire, he pulled out a can of food out of curiosity. The can had instructions on it, so he placed it on the fire for a few minutes, before he opened it and ate some meat and vegetables. It was quite delicious in his opinion, but while he was doing that, he also checked the map.

Jon thought Westeros was big, while Essos was bigger, from what little he knew. But when he looked at the map, he was surprised by how big the world was. Sothoryos, the place he was in, was equal to or bigger than Essos. From what was on the large scroll, Sothoryos was a gigantic piece of land painted green with many rivers. North of where he stood was the Summer Sea, and to the west were the Summer Isles. And beyond that, the Sunset Sea.

South of where he stood was all of Sothoryos. To the east was a land called Ulthos, connected to Sothoryos. But that wasn't all, further east was yet another gigantic piece of land divided by a great sea.

It was so much. And that wasn't even counting the shadowlands, Yi Ti, Mussovy, The Thousand Islands, Ibben; there were so many things he'd never heard of, that Jon felt small. In the face of the gigantic world, he seemed like just an ant that could be crushed at any moment.

The ceiling, dirty and full of openings, didn't matter to Jon. His eyes were fixed there, but his mind was thinking, spinning through every new or old thing that passed through his head. He was still afraid of all the unknown that could be surrounding him right now. But for a moment, just a few seconds, he felt excited. A feeling that came from the possibility of a new life. Not as a bastard, not as someone unwanted by almost everyone, but for a life that he could say was his.

And as he thought of everything and nothing, his eyelids moved involuntarily as sleep had come to claim his consciousness.

That night, Jon dreamed. A dream of immense forests plagued by dangerous beasts and death at every inch. He dreamed of a different forest, a peaceful, beautiful and quiet one, full of life and countless stories.
