One month passed.
One month of Leo's Dreamwalker training…
And Jon Snow was no longer just a bastard training in the yard—
he moved like a warrior from legends.
His stance sharpened
His reflexes tripled
His sword always moved with intention
His instincts were terrifyingly good
Even Ser Rodrik watched him in silent shock
MISSION COMPLETE: "Awaken the Wolf"
Rewards Distributed:
Stat Boost (Minor)
Dreamwalker Level +1
Combat Insight Module (Passive)
Leo checked the system window again.
Peace didn't last long.
SYSTEM WARNING — NEW MAIN QUEST (LIMITED TIME)
A new mission blinked into existence, glowing blood red.
[MAIN QUEST — BRANCHING FATE]
Duration to Accept: 7 days
Deadline to Complete: 1 year
Objective Summary:
You cannot change the major destiny of this world.
The timeline will correct itself.
Chaos is necessary.
Images flashed in Leo's vision:
King Robert laying dead
Jon Arryn collapsing
Ned Stark executed
Daenerys standing before dragonfire
Jon Snow facing the Night King
The system voice whispered:
"Chaos must come.
Through chaos, Jon Snow and Daenerys must grow.
You may save them—
but the world around them must fall."
Leo's hands trembled.
This was not a normal quest.
This was a declaration from the world itself.
JON ARRYN REALIZES THE TRUTH
Jon Arryn began noticing the pattern:
Attempts on his life suddenly failed.
Assassins vanished before reaching him.
Poisonings no longer reached his cup.
Notes he hid in secret places were moved mysteriously.
One evening, in his private chambers, he whispered:
"Whoever protects me… reveal yourself."
Leo didn't answer.
But he left a sign:
a feather from a raven that didn't exist in Westeros.
Jon Arryn understood:
A protector.
An outsider.
A shadow working for the realm.
He began sending coded letters, hoping the invisible guardian might answer.
Little did he know…
time was running out for him.
LITTLEFINGER STRIKES BACK
Petyr Baelish hated losing control.
Three informants vanished.
Two plans backfired.
One ledger was altered.
And worst of all:
"Someone touched my secrets."
Littlefinger sharpened his counterattack.
His Response:
He sent three Faceless Men-trained assassins (not actual Faceless Men, but skilled enough).
He ordered the Goldcloaks to hunt "a northern spy."
He placed a bounty of 1,000 gold dragons on "the Ghost of King's Landing."
He doubled the number of spies in Flea Bottom.
The city only whispered one thing now:
"There is a shadow killing assassins…"
"A secret guardian…"
"Or a monster that hunts monsters."
Littlefinger decided:
"If I cannot find him, I will make him come to me."
CERSEI GROWS PARANOID
Meanwhile, Queen Cersei noticed the failures surrounding Jon Arryn.
Nothing reached him.
Poison never made contact.
Her hired blades kept disappearing.
Cersei slammed her cup into the wall.
"Someone is shielding the Arryns.
Someone is meddling with my kingdom!"
Jaime shrugged.
Varys listened.
Littlefinger smiled.
Cersei's order spread like wildfire:
**"Find this shadow.
Bring me its head."**
The city doubled its guards,
searched rooftops,
and interrogated travelers.
Cersei believed what Varys whispered:
"Perhaps… a northern assassin is in the city."
Chaos was building.
Exactly as the system wanted.
THE SYSTEM'S TRUE INTENTION — DAENERYS
Three days after Jon Snow's training mission ended…
A new window opened.
[NEW SUB-QUEST — MOTHER OF DRAGONS]
Objective:
Protect Daenerys Targaryen
Allow her to grow through hardship
Remove her weak brother, Viserys Targaryen
Ensure Daenerys becomes strong enough to survive destiny
Leo frowned.
"Kill her brother?
That means pushing the story faster."
The system answered:
"Viserys is a chain.
Daenerys cannot rise while bound by him."
"You are the only one who can intervene without breaking the timeline.
The world will correct itself."
Leo understood:
Jon must grow into the king he never wanted.
Daenerys must rise from ashes.
War must come.
Death must come.
Chaos must reshape the world…
So that the Long Night can be truly defeated.
Leo felt a chill.
This wasn't just a mission.
This was destiny manipulation.
