"ARGGGGAGGAGAG" The boy screamed as his body started to reconstruct itself into peak human condition. While the boy was thrashing around, he ripped apart the ropes that tied him to the small bed.
Few seconds later, the boy stopped screaming and thrashing around and his body turned into that of a young man. Suddenly, he opened his eyes showcasing his bright grey orbs. When he observed his surroundings he found that he was in some kind of room, he also found the broken bead in the middle of the room.
"Why is that kid making so much noise?" Suddenly, a voice was heard from outside and the door of the room slowly opened. In the time the door fully opened and a large man came inside, the young man had used his absolute stealth.
The man looking at the broken bed mumbled under his breath "Did someone save him? Or did someone kidnap him from me?"
As the man was mumbling to himself, the boy combed through his recent memories to find out about the man, and he didn't take long to find it. Slowly the young man walked to the back side of the man and swiftly twisted the mans head one eighty degrees. Looking at the dead body, the young man spat out "Disgusting pedophile."
Crouching down, the young man searched the dead body and found some gold coins along with a small knife. Attaching the knife on his hip and storing the gold coins in a pouch hanging around his neck, the young man thought 'Right now I'm in Talon, an island den of pirates, criminals, slaves, slavers and much worse. I will have to get out of here as fast as possible, sailing won't be a problem for me as I have experience from my second life as Edward Kenway, weapons won't be a problem either as I have been learning modern smithing without any distraction as Edwyn Smith, I won't have to worry about crew as I have a thousand knights. I'll have to find a map and then I have to travel to my original destination. But first...'
Taking out the knife, the young man craved out something on the mans head. Looking at his art, the young man mumbled "Will it reach there before I do or will these guys bury him?"
Cleaning the knife and placing it back on his hip, the young man activated absolute stealth and walked out of the room while closing the door. As he climbed down the stairs, he saw men and women indulging in carnal pleasure, he closely observed to find any more pedophiles but he didn't find any in there. Shaking his head, he went out the building through the opened door while thinking 'Don't these guys fear about getting robbed?'
After walking for sometime, he reached a private port where the ship of the pirates he escaped from was held, smiling at the ship, he walked towards it. As he closed in, he saw a dozen of guards guarding the ship, so he ordered some shadow knight's to ambush the twelve guards. The knights knocked out the guards at the same time thanks to the connection they have with the young man. Without wasting time, the knights started to remove the knocked out guards from the ship in the midst of it, deactivating absolute stealth young man slowly made his way on to the ship and midway through his walk he ordered "Crave out the same words that I craved on that pedophile."
The young man started to observe his shadow knights 'Black armor from head to toe, wielding weapons ranging from great swords, war hammer, battleaxes, crossbows, bows, daggers, swords and shields, lances, maces and spears. That's a good army of thousand, they can hide in the shadows of the ones I want, they can transform into any one I wants to and for some reason, my shadow army have equal number of males and females. Will they sire any kids at this rate?'
"No my Lord, we can't reproduce ourselves." A voice came from the back of the young man.
"WHAT THE FUCK!!" The young man shouted out and turned back only to see no one standing there, squinting his eyes he shouted out "WHOEVER YOU ARE COME OUT NOW!!"
Suddenly, a seven foot tall knight with muscular body appeared from the shadow of the young man, like the other knights, this one was also wearing a black armor that covered him from head to toe, the only difference being that this knight have a horn on it's helmet.
Looking at the knight, the young man asked "You guys can speak?"
"Yes my Lord. But not every knights can speak, only those who are General or higher grade can speak." The knight said.
"How many grades are there and what are those grades called? How many commander or higher grades are there and what are their grades? And what is your grade?" The young man asked questions rapidly as he thought 'Why didn't whoever gave me these guys explain this?'.
"There are five grades in total, at the lowest is the Knight Grade, fourth one is Elite Knight, third one is General, second one is Marshall and the final one is Grand Marshall. There are currently ten knights who are General grade or higher, seven of them is General grade, two of them is Marshall grade and one of them is Grand Marshall grade. My grade is Grand Marshall, and I am second in command of the Shadow Army after my Lord." The large knight answered the questions presented by the young man. (AN: I am only giving them the grades from solo leveling, they won't have the same powers as them. But note that, the Knight Grades will be strong as regular knights in ASOIAF, the rest will be one step above the previous ones in everything.)
Pondering at the answers given by the Grand Marshall, the young man asked "Is there a limit for each grade?"
"Yes my Lord. Only one knight can hold Grand Marshall grade, two for Marshall grade and for the rest there is no limit." The Grand Marshall replied.
"So I can make every Knights into General grade huh? That's good." Smiling, the young man looked at Grand Marshall and asked "Anyway, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"
"I am Albern, Grand Marshall of the Shadow Army." Albern introduced himself as he knelt one one knee in front of the young man.
Placing a hand on shoulder, the boy said "My name is Barthogan "Bart" Stark. Second child of Rickard Stark and Lyarra Stark. I am from Winterfell."
"If I may ask my Lord. Why are you here instead of Winterfell?" Albern asked Bart.
Scratching his head, Bart said "You see, I was exiled by my father to Essos when I was eleven years old for killing an unsavory man called Roose Bolton. Now that I am nineteen, my exile period is over, so I'm returning home. Does that quell your curiosity?"
"Yes my Lord." Albern said.
"Now, I'll meet every other General grade and above on our travel. But first, we have to find some treasures as a gift to my family, so we will be sailing to the Valyrian Freehold."
After saying that, Bart walked to the deck and took the helm while shouting "MAN THE STATIONS EVERYONE! WE'RE SETTING SAIL TO FIND SOME TREASURES!!"
