Third Person POV
Pentos
The Invisible Heist
Dominic sat in his tavern room, the morning light filtering through the cracked shutter. A week in Pentos had burned through half his initial 30 gold dragons—15 spent on sturdy clothes, hearty meals, and the tavern's rent. The room, though small, had been his training ground, where he honed Toph Beifong's earthbending and seismic sense. His assimilation with Toph had climbed to 40%, letting him manipulate larger chunks of earth and sense vibrations with greater clarity. He could now "see" the layout of rooms through walls or detect a guard's heartbeat from twenty paces.
His gacha system had 74 points, accumulated from daily gains. After breakfast—bread, cheese, and a mug of weak ale—he decided to roll again, hoping for tools to secure his future in this brutal world. He activated the system, its glowing screen hovering before him, and selected a 10-roll, spending 30 GP.
The screen spun, and the results materialized:
Item: Spider-Man's Mask (Marvel) – Mask from Spider-Man - 1 (Tobey Maguire).
Item: Naruto's Konoha Headband – A ninja village symbol, no special properties.
Item: Bread Loaf – Fresh, crusty.
Item: Inventory (1000m x 1000m) – A dimensional storage space, accessible only by the user.
Item: Geralt's Leather Jacket (The Witcher) – Durable, stylish, minor protection.
Item: Torch – Unlit, wooden.
Item: Small Pouch of Herbs – Medicinal, for minor ailments.
Item: Rope (20 ft) – Stronger than his previous rope.
Item: Iron Key – Unknown purpose.
Item: Cloth Bandages – For wrapping wounds.
The inventory was a godsend—a massive, invisible warehouse he could access with a thought. He slipped on the leather jacket, smirking at its rugged fit, and stored the rest in the inventory. With 44 GP left, he rolled again:
Item: Captain America's Shield (Marvel) – Vibranium, indestructible, ideal for defense and throwing.
Item: Sokka's Boomerang (Avatar: The Last Airbender) – Balanced, returns when thrown.
Item: Flask of Ale – Decent Essosi brew.
Item: Wool Blanket – Warm, slightly scratchy.
Item: Iron Shovel – Sturdy, for digging. Item: Candle (x3) – Basic wax candles.
Item: Invisibility Cloak (Harry Potter – Deathly Hallows) – Renders the wearer completely invisible.
Item: Small Mirror – Hand-sized, slightly cracked.
Item: Leather Gloves – Improved grip, minor protection.
Item: Salted Fish – Preserved food for a week.
The shield's weight felt reassuring in his hands, its star emblem gleaming.
The invisibility cloak was the real prize. Dominic draped it over his arm, watching his hand vanish. He stored all his new items in the inventory, keeping only the dagger in his boot and the leather gloves on. His gold was dwindling—only 15 dragons left—and Pentos was expensive. He needed a plan to secure wealth, and the cloak sparked a bold idea.
The Magisters of Pentos were filthy rich, their mansions brimming with gold dragons, jewels, and artifacts. With the invisibility cloak, he could slip in, take just enough to avoid suspicion, and amass a fortune. Over one night, he'd hit every major Magister's mansion, skimming small amounts from their treasury. It was audacious, but the cloak and his seismic sense made it possible.
That night, Dominic prepared meticulously. He wore Geralt's jacket, the leather gloves, and the belt, with the dagger tucked into his boot. The invisibility cloak stayed in his inventory, ready to be summoned. His seismic sense would map the mansions, and the shield would cover him if things went wrong.
Pentos at night was a maze of shadows and torchlight. Using his seismic sense, Dominic avoided patrols, their heavy footsteps betraying their routes. The Magister's district was a cluster of opulent mansions, each behind high walls and guarded gates. He started with the smallest, working his way up to avoid drawing attention.
Under the cloak's invisibility, he bent earthen ramps to scale walls, dissolving them behind him. His seismic sense guided him through lavish halls, past sleeping servants and patrolling guards. In each mansion, he targeted strongboxes, vaults, and hidden caches, using earthbending to quietly break locks or shift stone panels. He took only a fraction from each—5000 dragons here, 10000 there, a handful of jewels, a silver chalice, or a gold-embossed book. The amounts were small enough that no single Magister would notice, but they added up.
By dawn, he'd hit 30 mansions, his inventory stuffed with 1.5 million gold dragons, plus assorted valuables: ruby rings, sapphire necklaces, gilded daggers, and a strange obsidian orb that pulsed faintly. He avoided anything too conspicuous, like unique heirlooms, to keep suspicion low.
Back in his room, Dominic collapsed onto the bed, exhausted but triumphant. He summoned a handful of gold dragons from his inventory, their weight reassuring in his palm. He'd never have to worry about money again. The system updated his status:

For now, he had wealth beyond imagination and tools to survive Essos's dangers.
Dominic woke the next morning to the system's chime: Daily GP Earned: +1. Total GP: 15. Sunlight streamed through the shutter, and he sat up, his mind turning to the future. With his wealth, he could do anything, meddle in Westeros, or… build something of his own. The idea hit him like a thunderbolt: a kingdom. His kingdom. A place where he could make the rules, free from the backstabbing of nobles or the chaos of Essos' city-states.
But where? Westeros was too entrenched, its lords too powerful. Essos offered more opportunity, but the Free Cities were crowded with Magisters and warlords. After pacing the room, he settled on the Disputed Lands—a lawless stretch between Myr, Lys, and Tyrosh, where sellsword companies and petty lords fought endlessly. It was chaotic, but chaos was opportunity. With his powers and wealth, he could carve out a stronghold, a foundation for his own realm.
To do that, he needed an army. The Unsullied of Astapor were the answer—elite, disciplined, and loyal to their master. They weren't cheap, but with 1.5 million gold dragons, he could afford thousands. The journey to Astapor would be dangerous, but his earthbending, shield, and cloak made him a one-man army already. He just needed men to hold what he built.
He spent the day preparing. At the market, he bought a better horse—a sleek black stallion he named Shadow—for 50 gold dragons. He stocked his inventory with provisions: dried meat, bread, waterskins, and a map of Essos. He kept his gear light, relying on the inventory to carry everything. The obsidian orb and amulet stayed buried deep in storage, their strange energy unsettling.
The next morning, Dominic paid his tavern bill, saddled Shadow, and rode south toward Astapor. The road was dusty, lined with olive groves and small villages. His seismic sense kept him alert for bandits, while the invisibility cloak stayed ready in case of trouble. The system.
