"No, please stop. I beg you, don't kill me... Argh!"
As I remove the knife out of this Dumb Cunt skull I began to get up as I pull my knife out of her. "Damn, she was a feisty one! She kept fighting for her life even after I was done raping her, but I love it even more like that." My smile turned cruel as I finished talking as I looked at the dead body of this bitch who decided to wander into flea bottom from the street of silk.
No one would miss a whore.
"Now, the less fun part starts" I said to myself before going into another nearby room. I came back with a cleaver and a mallet and started hacking the body with practiced gestures as I have done this plenty of times before throughout my years even before I was kicked out the city watch. Once I was finished dismantling the body, I looked at the different parts before seemingly making up my mind and taking what used to be her right upper thigh.
"I think I'll treat myself to some thighs; it has been ages since I finished the last one. The rest will perfectly replenish my meat reserve after it is salted. Hehe! I am probably the only one in Flea Bottom that eats meat so often."
However, as I made to go back to the kitchen to start cooking a hearty meal, the world around me turned grey and all sound stopped; I also noticed that I was unable to move. Then before me, a large rectangular-shaped illusion appeared in front of him, similar to the front of a box of a dark red color inside the box black colored lettering appeared.
[Gambling system installing….]
[System online]
What in the hell is this? I said, as I started hitting it with my cleaver the blade passing through the Redbox.
Was I going really mad? Some might argue that my acts of consumption of other men would count for me going mad however this was different as I have never experienced anything like this.
Is my pathetic amount of dragonblood causing this to happen to my mind.
[You have been granted three pulls, which are guaranteed to be uncommon or higher. All pulls will be drawn from a much smaller selection of items, and will be far more likely to synergise to increase the chance of you gaining the power needed to survive..]
[You can gain extra pulls by rolling a drawback, these pulls will also be at least uncommon and drawn from the same selection.]
Rolling Three Rolls
Result: Rare Magic Tome, Uncommon Perk, Uncommon Summon.
[Bone Flash Magic Tome] - Rare Magic Tome

[Unnerving Aura] - Uncommon Perk
You exude an unnatural presence that disturbs most people and animals. Weak-willed individuals may feel fear or discomfort simply being near you. Slight bonus to intimidation and interrogation.
[Gasping Doll] - Uncommon Summon
A twisted cloth doll with stitched eyes and a jagged smile. When summoned, it floats silently and follows the player. It emits a psychic wail when enemies are near, alerting the player of danger within 50 feet. It cannot speak, attack, or be physically harmed.
A faint pop echoed in the air, and the doll blinked into existence, hovering just beside me. It turned slowly toward the butchered corpse on the floor and let out a faint, wet gasp.
"What the hell are you supposed to be?" I asked with a mixture of amusement and curiosity. The doll didn't answer just hovered there.
Snapping my fingers, the doll disappeared, entering back to my "inventory" the information on how his system works entered his mind.
I would gain rolls for several "feat" giving me several rolls to get more ability to gain powers or items or whatever from the wheel. I can also claim curses early on to gain more rolls and those curses can eventually be converted into perks another power for me to gain.
That did bring a thought to me. Should I get a curse right now and gain more rolls? Whatever the system was it was an opportunity for me, the slums of this goddamn city. Ultimately if anything happened to me, I was just some random man in flea bottom and my death will be irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. So might even celebrate, here in flea bottom and my old fellow members of the city watch specially that fat piece of shit Janos.
If Lord Commander Manly didn't die then Janos would've never seen his position and took the coin from that mongrel foreigner.
Even a common bastard like myself knew of the master of coin, master Petyr Baelish or Lord as the Braavos mongrel, Cunt managed to gain a seat in the small council probably by fucking the brains out of the hand of the king wife before the old Cunt died.
Even here the news of the death of the hand reach even here in flea bottom despite the majority of us not carrying anything about the Royal Court.
Honestly, I could care less of who sat on his ars on the iron throne or who was on what position in the Royal Court if it wasn't for the fact that I knew for a fact, the reason why I was kicked out from the gold cloaks.
My mother was some whore from Esso but whoever my father was he was obvious of the old blood or a dragonseed as I had inherited the silver hair and purple eyes from this man.
However, my entirety of my hair wasn't silver, as it was mixing with some gray. Despite that King Robert, how does it like anyone who possessed the blood of the dragon even bastards so I wasn't surprising that majority of people with the dragon blood had left the court and several positions throughout the capital.
I suspect that to be the reason why I was dismissed despite being a young captain impressive, considering most of those positions were given to Man already loyal to a certain Lord or Noble born.
As I remember the mocking laugh of Janos as I took off my gold cloak that anger made me decide as I clicked for two curses.

I could feel acknowledge, entered into my head on how to utilize my new powers.
As the world shifted back as it was before, the screen disappeared. I decided to look around as everything had returned back to normal noticing that nothing had changed.
"Fuck it I gotta make something to eat" I said to myself as I went to my shitty stove to start cooking the legs I had taken to cook.
-later-
As I had wake up and breaking my fast I decided on my next course of action.
On the knowledge I had gain of my new power I could gain different "rolls" for performing "feat" the amount of rolls I would get completely depended on the feat I had obtain.
If I killed anyone of great importance or received a fancy title or wealth I would gain a rolls that I could use the gain, powers, or items, or anything that the system would provide meaning, my system required me to be active constantly to gain rolls.
I wouldn't get anything by killing random nobody's and doing simple acts than anyone can do wouldn't get me any rolls either.
I wasn't gonna try to get myself killed as the only way I could possibly get a roll. It's by killing a Noble of the court, or a member of the small council. There was no way I was gonna be able to kill a member of the Kingsguard or the king himself and that practically eliminated the chances of me, killing any member of the Royal family.
I could always go after that fat bastard Janos but with the master of coins behind him, nobody in the watch would be for him or sell him out and Baelish had constant protection by the gold cloak as the man has made them into his personal army.
So my only real choice is to leave the capital as I was from the lowest of the low as there's no way that somebody who got kicked out from the city watch could find any employment as a men at arms, neither was I not a knight.
I could always become a sellsword or simply travel the lands. There was no opportunity here for me to gain more rolls and increase my personal power.
I was not a Godly man but if this power of my can help me rise through the world I will make sure to use it regardless what I have to do to achieve it.
Ultimately, I have decided on my course of action.
XxX
New note: another remake, I originally wanted to make it longer but ultimately I decided that this would be a good place to end it.
Old note: Base this mostly on [Immortal dragon on the throne (Waifu Catalog)] a shitty Waifu Catalog fic which died on the third chapter I left a guest review there if anyone's interested in read it. And like I said in that review, I'm stealing the idea just because I kinda like it. I didn't like how it was executed in the three chapters in that fic mostly because the author clearly only watched the show and barely knows anything about the setting.
