#RAGNAR POV#
"...FUCK..." I say a few moments after landing on the ground
Turning over and sitting up slowly, I take in the forest around me before yelping as something lands on my head and falls on my lap
"Holy shit...it was real..." I say before grabbing the crystal and looking around me at the forest
I take a deep breath as I hold the summoning crystal in my hand
Memories of me taking my own life after turning 35 flash through me right up until I woke up in front of another me...well...that was actually the ROB who sent me here...to the land of Tamriel...
As the fucking Dragonborn...of all things...that was probably the best thing to ever happen to me
The ROB was willing to give me a System, but I ended up refusing since I am at least somewhat aware of the issues that may arise
Instead...I asked for something a bit different
Not a System...but instead...a few things to help me out
Like 2 companions...a few materials like books and stuff
The companions are Albedo from Overlord and Marika from Elden Ring
Now...there were going to be issues when bringing versions of them over here to the Elder Scrollsverse
So...for Albedo, I was able to make some adjustments so that once I break the crystal, all of her magical knowledge will essentially be the Elder Scrolls Version
While she will also keep her race as a Succubus
As for Marika...I had more freedom since I didn't actually want the version of her from that verse...
So...I made my own... no way am I dealing with that hot mess
My mind goes over Albedo's and Marika's 'stat sheet'

Oh yeah...having reliable help, especially in this world
Albedo is the same regarding her managerial skills, if not slightly better, thankfully...Otherwise, I don't see myself being able to keep track of everything myself
Marika, though...she was the reason why I had to get rid of a few items in order to power her up
Sure, I could have learned Smithing, Enchanting, or even Alchemy
Not only that...but learning any of those professions would realistically take me a lifetime to master...each
Going back to my companions, their races are...well...the same...sort of
Albedo is still a succubus, but she has had her 'true' form taken from her and instead has been given a general boost in power and capabilities, as well as the ability to hide her horns at will
Marika, however, was a bit of a grey area
Considering that I wanted to make her somewhat close to the version of Elden Ring at least in appearance, I sacrificed some of the items I picked after rejecting the system to turn her into an Atmoran...
Honestly...considering the worth of the items I wanted...it was a good trade
As for the items that I actually managed to bring with me...they will be useful
I got a book on the Transmutation Spell, honestly, that was way too useful not to get
One thing that became clear to me when I learned that I was going to the Elder Scrollsverse was that I needed some bases around, and thankfully, I managed to get some stuff from the Creation Club into this world
Mainly Myrwatch and Gallows Hall, as they are honestly far too useful not to get
Thankfully, I also managed to get a kind of sense for their location, and once I am near, I will be able to tell their location, provided I am not too far away
Standing up, I prepare myself to break the crystal
I break it after a minute or so, and light comes from the broken crystal as several things start taking form
The first to form was Marika
Starting from the bottom, I see her smooth-looking feet up to her thighs that are perfectly plump and entirely luscious.
They are decorated with gold bangles and chains, fine golden filaments and thread, and jeweled cuffs that caressed the unblemished, creamy mass.
My eyes take in her dress, gold and bright as could be, like it had been grafted with from the light around us
It doesn't give the most innocent view, given that Marika is about 7 feet tall, as I look at the cut of the dress
A very big... no... a massive chest is shown through the cut of the dress, and I can even see some side boob peaking from the sides
My eyes look up at her face, and I see a head of gold; her hair is set loose in a pale blonde rush and crowned in a circlet made of gold. Her face is something like out of a dream as her eyes look around for a bit before settling on me
A smile filled with devotion and a need to please comes across her face as she looks at me
Albedo finishes forming, and I take in her appearance next
She is five feet seven, from what I remember
She has long, jet-black hair, and her face looks immaculate.
To be honest, I would call her a goddess
She has golden irises with vertically slit pupils, and she has thick, crooked horns on her temples and a pair of black angel wings sprouting from the back of her waist
She is wearing her pure white dress with silky gloves covering her hands and a golden spider web necklace covering her shoulders and breasts, and I can see the sides of her exposed, juicy-looking thighs along with her hips.
Her eyes focus on me, and she gets a similar look to Marika
Seeing the look in their eyes makes me get a hard on, given that they are the most beautiful women I have ever seen...and they are mine
"Master..." Marika says in a low and sultry voice filled with excitement that sends pleasant tingles down my spine
Oh sweet lord...that voice...
Concentrate...
"Yes, Marika..."
"Where are we going?" She asks me while Albedo stands to the side, suspiciously silent
"We are going to Morthal and locating Myrwatch as our current priority," I answer her, snapping out of my staring
"Myrwatch?" Albedo asks, and one question rises to the surface of my mind
"What are your abilities...?"
"Master, may I go first?" Albedo asks shyly, and I nod, making her smile
"I am able to use one-handed and two-handed weaponry like a master. But my abilities are tailored to both taking a lot of damage and giving out a lot of damage while using both magic and potions to my advantage. Of course, I need some preparations for the potions, but I am still able to use magic despite it..." She says and keeps going, and I realize just what kind of monsters I have brought into the Elder Scrolls
Albedo is a TANK and DPS rolled into one, using the Fleshspells to increase her defensive abilities while also using potions to not only increase her defense but also her offense
"Master" Marika goes next
"I am highly skilled in most forms of magic. I am also able to engage others in physical combat while also enhancing myself with magic to gain an advantage. I am also a master at smithing and highly skilled in enchanting..."
#TIMESKIP 2 DAYS LATER#
"Master, you are doing it wrong..." Marika says as she supervises my magical training
"How so?" I ask while stopping the flames bursting out from my hand as my magical energy gets a bit low
"You are wasting too much energy on the spell..." I listen intently while she explains that I need to control the flames in a continuous stream instead of letting them
Waiting a bit for my mana pool to refill in order to cast the spell
In the meantime, she goes on to tell me about and even teach me about the other schools of magic
She teaches me until nightfall, and Albedo finishes preparing food for the night
"Did you discover where we are?" I ask Albedo
"Yes, my lord, we are not far from Helgen and Falkreath," She answers as she hands me a bowl filled with stew as I sit on a chair that she 'found'...
"How long will it take us to reach Morthal?" I ask Albedo
"On foot, it will take us around 3 weeks; if I take us flying, only a few days." She answers, motioning to her wings, and I nod
"After dinner, take us there as you can during nightfall, once the sun starts to rise, lower us to somewhere safe," I order Albedo as she nods happily while Marika watches on with a smile
That night, Marika holds me close as Albedo flies us by, carrying us with her as she flies
I fall asleep as I lay my head in between Marika's chest...
#DAYS LATER#
"Finally, Myrwatch..." I say as I let out a rush of the flames spell that Marika has helped me master these past few days
The symbol on the ground glows as a set of 6 keys appears in front of me, which I grab
I insert one of the keys in the door and open it
"This place...it is full to the brim with magical energy..." Albedo comments as I open the doors
Entering Myrwatch, we find both the expected and the unexpected in the small tower
It is bigger than the one in the game, as information enters my mind about Myrwatch
Interesting...so this is everything a mage or even a warrior needs
The tower actually has multiple floors that are not in the game itself
The floors actually go underground
A floor is filled to the brim with Enchanting supplies
The floor beneath that one is a rather sizable underground garden and an Alchemy Lab in stasis
The floor beneath that one is a magical forge, also in stasis and ready to be used with a small number of materials waiting to be used
I let out a huge sigh of relief at the enchanting room
A frown comes to my face as I think about what Marika said about Enchanting...
'...Enchanting is nearly a lost art...'
That...sent shivers up my spine when I first heard of it
According to Marika, Enchanting, for some reason, started to disappear after the third era ended, and most Enchanters were assassinated by Dagon's forces. Its use was already tremendously difficult to spread.
Once Soul Gems started to dwindle, most master enchanters had to rely on using their own Magicka/Mana Manipulation to enchant something
Which in itself was difficult at the best of times
Requiring supreme control of one's own magicka
With a lack of Soul Gems to help practitioners get a start on Enchanting, it has slowly started to die out as those with the skill to Enchant are dying
According to Marika, there are probably fewer than 30 Enchanters still alive today
I am so glad that I invested in getting Marika to a near master level in Enchanting
Otherwise...I am not sure I would be able to make use of it
"So...what do you think of our new place?" I ask Marika and Albedo after they come back to the living room after an hour or so
"The forge and Enchanting room are incredible. The magical flames of the forge are capable of melting down Ebony in a matter of hours, instead of having to melt them down for months, faster if I were to use my own flames to melt it. On that note, we do have some supplies. To get started with..." She goes on to say that we have some ingots ready to be used and some ore that can be smelted down for more
Iron, Steel, Orichalcum, Malechite, Moonstone, and even some Ebony ingots and ore
While in the Enchanting Room, there are a few soul gems already filled, which is a nice bonus, all things considered
"The Alchemical Laboratory has been in stasis, and I have placed some portions of the lab back into stasis due to some plants and ingredients having a short lifespan or lacking materials to facilitate their lives..." Albedo goes next as she gives me a detailed report on the Alchemy lab, and I am just glad that I made sure she knew of it in the first place, since the stuff she talks about makes my head spin
In the end...Myrwatch was a worthwhile investment...yet...I can't help but feel that something is off for some reason
I shake my head while making a note of it...
