Honestly, I had no idea what was going on, the last thing I could remember was of me and some friends playing the new dungeons and dragons' game while we enjoyed some artisanal beer I made with some burgers.
The next moment he was awaking in a dark cupboard as a ten years old Harry Potter, with a massive headache while years of the boy's life were shoved in his head, the life with the potters, their murder, the life with the Dursley, and the borderline abusive life, after passing for all this, he fainted and appeared here.
Now he was in a dark place with only an altar in front of him, in the altar fourteen figures of himself with different gears and items. Looking to the altar he recognized all the figures, all they were classes of the D&D game, from left to right, were the figures of the Barbarian, the Bard, the Cleric, the Druid, the Fighter, the monk, the paladin, the ranger, the rogue, the sorcerer, the warlock, the rogue, the artificer and the blood hunter.
Passing his eyes through the altar sometimes he finally chose the Druid, were the nature fighters, with powerful animal forms and nature magic, after selecting the class, the screen changed with options of race, feats, skills and background.
He chose half-elf to race, folk hero as background and two feats and three skills, related to the druid class.
The next second a screen appeared showing different "maps" to choose, and he randomly picked one, the next a light stream passed through his head and several information appeared in his brain, he was going to a medium size map, called Arlgenhen continent.
Here he was Harry potter, the ten years old son of Wayland Potter an alchemist druid that died last month, being the son of an alchemist druid harry had extensive knowledge of the nature, survival skills, alchemy and natural medicine, he had some martial training and could speak and read, common, elvish and draconic.
He also had good arcane and history knowledge.
When the light disappeared, he was in the middle of dirt road surrounded by a forest, with a small screen in front of him.
Reach level – 3– Incomplete
Kill 10 enemies– Incomplete
Reach the city – Incomplete
Sleep in an Inn – Incomplete
With all these events occurring, he had to take a moment to set his thoughts in line, after some moments he regained his calm, he was in a foreign and strange world and reincarnated as harry potter no less, luckily he was in dungeons and dragons based world and he was a huge fan of the game.
Taking a deep breath, he started to check his belongings, right now, for items he had a leather backpack, one iron pot, one tinderbox, one waterskin, several feets of rope, one full herbalism kit and alchemist supplies.
As weapons he had, one knife, two silver coated sickles, an Yklwa and a small crossbow with ten bolts, for protection he had a studded leather armor and a small wooden shield.
Some others items in possession were a leather book, an amulet made of yew with a bird skull and coin bag with a hundred gold coins and five hundred silver coins.
After checking everything he packed everything back and started to walk in the direction of the nearest town, the old harry used to make that same path with his father, usually they flight until near the city, but occasionally they walked so he knew the way to the town.
The Yklwa was a small spear with a 3 feet wood shaft and a 18 inches silver coated blade, he kept it in hands, for the case of anything less friendly appears, this forest is a home for goblin, wolves and some others dangerous creatures.
He didn't have to walk to long before, four small green humanoids armed with short swords jumped out some bushes surrounding him, goblins, some of the most infamous and iconic creatures in rpgs.
Using all experience of the old harry, he remained calm and analyzed the opponents, goblins were weak, even an armed kid could kill one, the only danger came when they were in large groups, those weren't wearing anything but old rags, the swords however were well maintained since goblins loved shine things and weapons.
With a quick movement he pulled a rose stem, out of his pocket and swing it, in the direction of the goblins, the stem grown and became a thorned whip, and hit two of them, the first goblin had his head ripped off, while the thorns ripped open deep wounds in the second.
One of the two others goblins screamed and jumped towards him, without fear he advanced and stabbed the Yklwa in his head, the last goblin flinched for a second, giving harry time to pull one sickle and cut his head off with a swing.
Looking around harry couldn't help but have a small smile, this world was becoming much more interesting.
….
Walking across a forest was a tedious task, the only things there were, insects, mainly mosquitos, trees, mud, some beast, usually wolfs, he already killed two, goblins, a lot of goblins and occasional feces in the road, he almost stepped in one pile.
The road to the town was very familiar, since in the past he passed several times before, he still had around two hours of walking before getting there.
There were nice parts however, no pollution, no traffic, beautiful sights, the smell of nature and flowers, the song of the birds, the angry running in his direction. Plus, surviving several goblins and wolf attacks, he raised his level and quickly reached to level three.
Leveling up from level one to level three, was very fast and easy, from level one to level two, he had to only kill 7-8 goblins, using the cantrips and attacking any alone goblin or in small groups, he quickly passed to level two.
In the level two he gained the wild shape and the druidic circle, the wild shape was a druid skill that allowed the druid to transform in an animal, it could be used to fight, scout or spy being one of the core skills of a druid.
The circles were where groups of druids with similar views and costumes gathered, there were different circles and each had their own features, by choice he chose the moon circle, druids of this circle were described as fierce guardians of the wilds and Changeable as the moon.
By choosing this circle he was granted the ability to transform into more dangerous animal forms than others druids, giving him a great advantage.
To raise his level to level three were necessary to kill around twelve or more, now with the wild shape and choosing the moon circle, it was even easier, since the wild shape could only transform in beast that he already saw he chose one of the strongest beast saw by this body, brown bear.
Using that form hunting and killing some goblins and wolf became even easier, and in less than an hour reached the level three. After reaching the level three he turned into human again and continued to follow the road.
He was a few miles of the town when sound of animals fighting reached his ears, using the best of his stealth skill he slowly approached from the sounds, until he found the cause, two adult panthers protection two newborns cubs by the looks from a pack of wolves.
Ten wolves surrounded the panthers in a circle, the two adult panthers stood in the middle trying to protect the cubs, one of them probably the mother looked very tired and just growled and covered the cubs with is body.
The other, probably the father jumped to one side to another showing his fangs to any wolf that tried to get any closer. His body had several bleeding deep wounds and one of his eyes was blind.
The wolves also sustained some serious wounds, one of them had a deep wound in the face, revealing the bone.
The young boy, keep watching carefully looking for a chance to kill as many targets as possible with a single spell, the fight lasted a few more minutes until the wolves lost patience and rushed all together.
This was the chance we were looking for, with a quick move he casted the ice knife spell and conjured a sharp shard of ice and aimed in the male panther, the ice shard crossed the air with high speed and pierced the panther's neck.
All the animals were surprised by this and could not react quickly enough when the ice shard exploded, sending sharp shards and cold into them.
All the wolves and the two panthers were killed either by the shards or by the cold magic energy, unfortunately one of the cubs also died, one shard hit the chest killing it instantly.
Taking a knife, he started to skinning the dead animals, thanks to previous experience of this body the process was faster than he thought, he takes all the pelts and gathered some claws, blood and fangs.
Then he carefully grabbed the panther cub and covered him in a pelt, before continuing his way, right now his plan was to sell the pelts for money and raise the cub as his animal companion, druids of the moon circle had even deeper bonds with animals than others circles, especially if the animals were predators.
After a couple of hours, he finally was able to see the wall of the town from afar, a small whining came from the small panther cub in his arms, giving the cub a small scratch behind the hears he continued his way, with a smile.
The rest of the way was easy and he soon approached the town gate, from the others harry memories, this town was relatively big for the countryside, the entire city was surrounded by a thirty feet stone wall, a small line of people and some wagons.
Two guards checked the people, while others two checked the wagons and four more guards were near watching everything in case of any problem. After some minute, he was the next, when he approached one of the guards seemed to recognize him and let him enter without asking any ID.
Because his background as folk hero, people of surroundings areas knew or heard of him for helping his father to save a village from a goblin attack a year ago, it brought some goodwill and gratefulness to him.
While he walked, he admired the medieval architecture of the place, since it was already getting dark, he went directly to an inn, called the Hog-tusk. The owner was a rude dwarf, he served him a meal consisting in baked potatoes with meat, a small milk bag for the cub and gave him a key to a room in the second floor.
After eating he went straight to the room, it was a 4x3 room with only a bed, a small desk with a chair and a trunk at the side, he put the pelt in the trunk making a improvised bed and put the cub there to sleep before going to the bed, when his body hit the bed a wave of tiredness overcame him and he fell into a deep slumber.
The next moment, he saw himself again in the dark area looking to the altar again, this time the druid figure looked just like him did, the same appearance and clothes, of when he was a druid. All others were just like generic figures with no expression or detail, he started to wonder if the others figures would change if he picked them.
While he thought a new screen appeared in front of him.
All mission cleared with success. Please roll the wheels for the prizes.
After reading, three fortune wheels appeared in the screen with different prizes written, he looked all the prizes available and spinned the three wheels at once, after some time the three wheels stopped in different prizes.
Creation magic formula.
Deck of many things.
Magic Symbol.
After the prizes were selected, three objects appeared in his hands a purple glowing orb, a blue glowing orb and a deck of 22 ivory cards, and some pieces of information appeared in his mind again.
The orbs were called, skill orbs, by absorbing them the user would learn the skill contained in the orb, each orb could only be used one time before disappear, the skill orb were divided in different colors by rarity, white for common, green to uncommon, blue to rare, purple to very rare and gold to legendary.
The deck was a magic item called, the deck of many things, each card had a unique magic effect and after drawing a pre-selected number of cards the rest of the deck would disappear.
Wasting no time, he used the two skill orbs, tons of information came to his mind, making him fell like a train was hitting his head. Creation magic formula, was about materializing objects out of thin air, the magic used a number formula to create these objects, between the spells he learned from this magic were to create lead and to create iron, for some he felt some familiarity with them.
Magic Symbol, was essentially a way to create spell or magic effects using symbols, these symbols could be used in theory, in infinite different ways, the more complex the symbol the more powerful the result would be.
After taking a breath to understand the two skills, he looked to the deck, deciding if he used it now or kept it for later, everything just looked like a crazy dream now and since he didn't know if it was real or not, he decided to just keep going for now.
As he touched the deck, the card flew and stand levitating in front of him, above the card a screen with (0/3) indicated the maximum number of cards he could draw, he hesitated for a moment, then he decided to count with luck and randomly chose three cards.
The rest of the deck disappeared and the three cards he selected floated in front of him, the three cards turned revealing different images, a key, a Gem and a knight, each card had a basic description above them.
Key- randomly create a rare or rarer item, that is suited to you.
Gem- create a bag containing twenty-five pieces of top-level jewelry or fifty pieces of high-level jewelry.
Knight- allow you to create and custom a level 4 fighter, that is completely loyal to you, he or she obeys every order you give.
Not bad, he thought after seeing the prizes, with a rare or rarer item which means a magic item, jewels to send and make money and a decent bodyguard, was a very good combinations, now he only had to decide in which class he should put them.
Putting in the druid class was a no for now, the class already had pretty decent skills, and was save in a town, plus the as druid he could do pretty decent if he acted smart.
Thinking about the options of class he had now, he ended up to chose the warlock class this time, he played a lot with that class and knew it very well, with a fourth level bodyguard and money in the forms of gems, he could make a very powerful char very quickly.
Once again, he passed by the process of creating another character, once again he chose the half-elf race, sage as background, to feats he chose the Spell Sniper and Magic Initiate.
Right after selecting the feats, he became aware of the differences from the game he remembered, in the game one started only with one feat by choosing a specific race, but now he had two, even choosing another race, a curious fact, to think in the future.
When he finalized the creation, he went to the maps screen and picked a new world, and once again a light stream passed through his head and several information appeared in his brain, this time he was going to a large size map, called Borheim.
His name here was once again Harry potter, this time however he was son of Marfield and Lucretia Potter, fourteen almost fifteen years old, his family was a rich and owner of a large keep. This harry was a notorious bookworm and a genius capable of reading and speaking in Abyssal, Common, Dwarvish, Elvish and Giant, with a large arcane and history knowledge.
The history of potter family began, with the founder, Mathias, he was slave owned by a rich wizard, one day the boy found an artifact in his master belongings and entered in contact with a lesser demon called Benora.
Under her guidance, the boy became a warlock and signed a contract with her, using her powers he killed his master and tacked his possession to him, over the years he had sons that also signed contracts with that demon, making her stronger.
Over the years the demoness and the family became closer, and three hundred years ago, a member of the family found a way to crystalize emotions and sins, and presented those crystals to her.
Over the years of receiving these crystals, she went from a lesser demon to a demon to a fiend and then to a high-fiend. Then to turn his lady into an archfiend the potters gathered all resources and invaded the city Dis in the nine hell.
They succeeded at cost of almost every member, she then became lady Benora, archfiend of sin and dreams.
The demoness rewarded and protect the family and over the years the family grew, with hundreds of members of the most different races, around a month ago the family was attacked by a large force, commanded by three nobles that wanted the belongings of the family.
Without choice they fought to the last man, then used a suicide spell to eradicate all the attackers, after the attack, Benora the protector of the family cursed and sent others demons to eradicate all the remaining family of the nobles and soldiers.
During the attack, he and some other family members were guided out of the fortress and split into groups to improve their chances of survival, he was accompanied by Liria, a beautiful half-elf fighter raised to protect and serve him and animated armor, as a bodyguards.
The others survivors were two cousins, and an uncle with his half-sisters, each of then received some gems, a few gold pieces, a basic item pack, and some magic item. His actual belongings were, his cloths, a bag of holding with some items, a codex book, a quarterstaff, a crystal ring to act as a magic focus, around 100 gold pieces and a magic ring capable of casting the Finger of Death spell three times per day.
Actually, the group was in inn in a small town working as adventurers, looking around he saw some others adventures drinking and talking sit in their tables, he was in a table in the corner with Liria and the animated armor.
Liria was a beautiful half-elf woman, she had long golden wavy hair in tight ponytail, green sharp eyes, Fair skin and a strong but slender body. She was wearing a full splint mail, and had a longsword and a small shield at her sides.
The animated armor, looked like a 6,5 feet tall man covered in a full plate armor with spikes in the vambraces and shoulder protectors.
Standing up, he crossed the inn and stopped in front a task board filled with papers, each paper was a mission, after looking for the tasks he took one of the board, a subjugation mission to kill some goblins in the woods.
Since Liria, wouldn't care about which quest he chose and the armor would just follow him he picked this quest to at least raise two levels by fighting.
The rest of the day was spent basically in fighting, looking for enemies and having short rests, Liria was a quiet and serious person, she talked few unless he insisted, she also was very helpful and listened to any orders, with very few exceptions.
Having a three members group, meant that all xp would be divided by them, unlike the board game here even the animated armor received a part of the xp earned by killing foes. To raise a single level, they had to kill considerably more foes than he had as a druid.
However, being in a group had others advantages, they could fight larger groups or stronger foes, and it was far more secure.
The subjugation mission was not a difficult or profitable task, unless you worked really hard in hunting goblins, five left goblin ears could be exchanged for three silver pieces what was the price for a modest meal for one person.
Hunting the goblins however had another objective, with his magic ring he could cast the 7th level magic finger of death, this was a powerful necromantic spell that deal huge damage to foes, if it was used in a humanoid and the humanoid was killed by this spell, they would be turned into a zombie under the control of the caster.
Three charges per day, meant three zombies per day, while zombies were weak and dump, they had many advantages, they were tireless, they won't betray you, they don't need any food, drink or money, and they were very useful as cannon fodder or guards.
The potter family used to have some hundreds of theses, but all them were whipped by the enemy spellcasters.
Having three more meat shields helped to improve the hunting a little, they got some goblins, a few wolfs, a few bears and even a few solitary dire wolves. This full day hunting helped him to reach the level four.
At level four he could choose either another feat or raise his stats, but since he already had feats it would be useless to him to choose another so he raised his charisma stat to 18. After using his points, he looked to his character screen.
Name: Harry Potter
Character: Warlock
Level: 4
Experience: 3,500 / 6,500
Strength: 12 Dexterity: 10
Intelligence: 16 Constitution: 16
Wisdom: 13 Charisma:18
Armor: 11 Health: 40 Pact: Pact of the Chain
Feats: Spell Sniper, Magic Initiate.
Racial Feats: Darkvision, Fey Ancestry, Skill Versatility.
Eldritch Invocations: Agonizing Blast, Fiendish Vigor.
To his current level his stats were pretty good, and for every four level, he gained two points to raise them, to a maximum of 20. If he leveled to level five, he could choose to multiclass and choose a second and even a third class, but it was for the future.
The way back to the town, also was profitable since the smell of blood attracted some wolves and hyenas, he also killed some owls to sell, back in town he sold the bodies of the animals he hunted, 2 GP for every wolf and the Hyenas, 4 GP for the bear, 15 GP for the dire wolf and 5 silver for the owl, total 65 GP. Then he sold the goblins weapons and the reward for 25 goblins, another 50 GP and 15 SP.
115 GP and 20 SP, a really good amount for a party like they, and almost four times of what he earned with the druid character.
After having a large meal, they rented one room in good inn, when he layed in the bed, his conscious slowly faded.
Once again, he woke up in dark area, this time however it was a small and dusty cupboard, filled with spiders.
