Chapter 11: Chapter 10: Mastering the Gifts
Upon arriving in the Training Dimension of Gods, I found myself in a world unlike any other. The space stretched endlessly, filled with a vibrant energy that pulsed with life. The sky was a serene blue, the air crisp and invigorating. I could feel the energies of the world swirling around me.
The first thing I did was adjust the timeflow rate. One year in this dimension would only equal one minute outside. That meant I could spend decades here, mastering my abilities, while barely a day passed in the real world. The possibilities were endless, and the thought of what I could achieve filled me with excitement.
I then set, the environment of the Training Dimension to suit my needs that is full of chakra and magic. The air became thick with chakra and nature energy, the very essence of Senjutsu. The ground thrummed with magic from Westeros, infusing everything with a potent, mystical energy. This was the perfect environment to develop the body of Hashirama Senju and to enhance my magical abilities. Here, I could also learn to harness Sage Mode, a technique that would allow me to draw on the power of nature itself.
As I prepared to begin my training, I glanced at my progress with the Arthur Dayne template. It was already at 78% completion, and I hadn't even started training seriously yet. That was thanks to the Hashirama body, which was already proving to be an incredible gift. My potential seemed limitless.
But before I could dive into more advanced training, I needed to unlock my chakra. I accessed the Library of Knowledge, retrieving the information on how to unlock my chakra. The process was straightforward, but the potential it unlocked was anything but.
I quickly began practicing the method. Thanks to the enhanced environment and the potential of my new body, I unlocked my chakra much faster than expected. The sensation was incredible—like a wellspring of energy bursting forth from within me, flooding my body with power.
With my chakra unlocked, I immediately started with chakra control exercises. The key to mastering chakra was control, and I knew that if I could master this early on, it would give me a significant advantage later. I spent several days doing nothing but exhausting my already impressive reserves, pushing myself to the limit. Each time I drained my chakra, it regenerated stronger and faster, increasing my overall capacity.
After a few days, I began to notice changes in my body. I was faster, stronger, more agile. My reflexes were sharper, and my senses more attuned. When I checked the Arthur Dayne template again, it had reached full completion. I smiled at the achievement, feeling a sense of satisfaction. The legendary swordsmanship of Arthur Dayne was now fully mine.
The Training Dimension provided everything I needed, including two swords that were identical to Dawn, the legendary greatsword of House Dayne. I picked up the twin swords, feeling their weight in my hands. As I began to swing them, it was as if the movements came naturally to me. My body moved with perfect precision, each swing flawless and deadly. I was moving like Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, the greatest swordsman in the Seven Kingdoms.
But I wasn't satisfied with just mastering his swordsmanship. I combined it with my chakra, channeling the energy through my swords and body. The result was extraordinary. My speed and strength were amplified, and my strikes became more powerful. I could cut through trees with ease, my blades slicing through the wood like it was paper.
I imagined what would happen when I added wind chakra to my strikes—a technique that would allow my blades to cut through even the toughest materials. The thought made me laugh out loud, a deep, satisfied laugh that echoed across the Training Dimension. With wind chakra, my swings could cut through iron like it was nothing. I could only imagine the devastation I could unleash on a battlefield.
But my training wasn't just about fighting. The second template I had received was of Joichiro Saiba, the legendary chef from *Food Wars*. When I saw that template, I couldn't help but laugh. Of all the powers I could have been granted, I now had the skills of one of the greatest chefs in the world. It seemed almost absurd, but then I realized the potential it held.
In the Training Dimension, I would have all the time in the world to practice cooking, and with Joichiro Saiba's skills, I could create dishes that would be unrivaled in all of Westeros. Food was a fundamental part of life, and the ability to provide delicious, nourishing meals would be a powerful tool in winning the loyalty of others. After all, who wouldn't follow a leader who could feed them the best meals they'd ever tasted?
As I began to explore the cooking template, I found that it was more than just a set of recipes or techniques. It was an entire philosophy, a deep understanding of food and how it could bring people together. Joichiro Saiba was more than just a chef—he was an artist, someone who could create experiences with his food.
I began experimenting with the ingredients provided by the Training Dimension, combining them in ways I'd never imagined. The process was surprisingly fulfilling, a welcome break from the intensity of my combat training. And the results were astounding. The dishes I created were not just meals—they were works of art, each one bursting with flavor and complexity.
In between my cooking experiments, I continued to train. I pushed my chakra to its limits, practicing advanced techniques and integrating them into my swordsmanship.
As the days turned into weeks, I could feel myself growing stronger, faster, more powerful. The time in the Training Dimension flew by.
I took a moment to reflect on my progress. I had fully integrated the Arthur Dayne template, becoming one of the greatest swordsmen in the world. I had unlocked my chakra and developed it to a level far. And I had become a master chef, capable of creating dishes that would leave even the most discerning critics in awe.
But this was just the beginning. There were still so many possibilities to explore, so many powers to master. The dragon egg still needed to hatch, and I had yet to unlock the full potential of the Library of Knowledge. And then there was the matter of the Joichiro Saiba template. Cooking might seem like a trivial skill compared to the others, but I knew it would play a crucial role in my plans.
As I stood in the Training Dimension, I realized just how far I had come since that moment when I first opened my eyes as Jon Snow. The boy who had been reborn in the Tower of Joy was long gone, replaced by someone far more powerful, far more determined. I had the gifts, the knowledge, and the drive to change the world, to build a kingdom that would stand the test of time.
But first, I needed to complete my training. There was still much to learn, and I wasn't about to waste the incredible opportunities I had been given. The world outside the Training Dimension was waiting, and when I finally stepped out, I would be ready to claim it.
With renewed determination, I dove back into my training, ready to unlock the next level of my potential. The path ahead was clear, and I was going to walk it with purpose, power, and the knowledge that I was destined for greatness.
