Leveling up the World - Chapter 141: Grey Harbor

Life, at times, can be quite unpredictable. But who could have thought it would be to this extent? It's unlikely that any sane person would imagine that in a single day, fate would grant them the chance to witness the end of one world and the opportunity to save another. But is that what our main character truly wants? That is an entirely different question...___________Gain early access to new chapters and support my work on Patreon:patreon.com/nitwishIt's a tale of my attempts to go off the rails of canon and write something distinctly different from it, though I only managed to diverge more or less by the 21st chapter. Some arcs will be reworked, some will remain unchanged, and some will be completely rewritten or cut out. However, the overall plot is unlikely to change. In places, I will alter things for my own convenience. Also, the world's “system” will be severely trimmed down, as I'm not a fan of systems and all those numbers. Something like that.

Rurik, a young man from the 21st century, gets transmigrated to the past—to the 9th century, one of the most savage and bloody eras in history. He awakens as a 15-year-old Norse farmer. Well aware of the harsh life of farmers during this period, from exploitation by lords to constant Viking raids, he chooses to leave the farming life behind.Rurik embarks on a journey of sailing with the Vikings and commanding raiding parties. This is a slow, somewhat realistic story of rising from a farmer to a Viking lord, and later becoming a noble with territory in Great Britain. Rurik’s most outstanding abilities are his intelligence in handling situations and his strong management skills.The story also introduces historical figures such as Ragnar, Ivar, Olaf, Björn, Harald, Eric, and many others whose names are recorded in history.---Viking tales, while bloody and brutal, are among the most entertaining to read, and I am sure you will have a great time reading this tale.

However, he was stopped by a mysterious cyan screen before his eyes.“What is this?”The Cyan screen displayed a message. It called itself the Guarantee System, and told him that it would guarantee whatever mission he desires. And through these missions he was to earn a reward, and these rewards were to be massive if the mission he takes, is relating to a… female.Then the question followed…[What will be your first mission?]At that moment, Ken knew… just the right thing he wanted.
