A Gaming Demigod
I can think of a lot of people who would love to be in the position I am now. Dropped into one of my favorite series by one of, if not the, biggest trolls in anime. Not many of them would think about how deadly it could be. Painfully deadly. Aw well, at least I wont be easy to kill!
Chapter 1
'What's that?' He was surrounded by darkness on all sides. Strangely, he wasn't feeling uncomfortable. He felt safe, like in the embrace of his mother.
After a long time, mensurable due to the darkness that surrounded him, the walls started to move. He could see light! He started squirming to get out. When he did, he saw giant faces looming over him, along with a blue screen floating above his head. He was handed to a woman on a bed, the screen following him all the time.
"He's a boy," was said to the woman holding him.
"Welcome to the world, James Greenwood," she smiled at him.
He ignored all of them, instead crying after reading the screen above him.

Description- A ordinary guy, thrown into the Percy Jackson world by Zelretch for his own amusement, just before he would have been immolated in his own and given the gamer to see what would happen. Unlike the rest of his half siblings, he is not a 'brain child', instead having the DNA of his parents added to a shell that was grown inside of his human mother, due to complications that would not have allowed her to have a child normally. Due to his godly blood he has higher physical stats for a normal baby, and his past life along with his godly parent gave him the average mental stats of an adult. He retains the the bad luck of being a demigod. Have fun with that.
'Well, shit,' was the elegant thought of the new James.

Growing up was oddly boring. Being a baby you couldn't really move all that much, not until you built up the muscles anyway. I think I gave my parents a heart attack when I started walking after about one year though. That's another thing, I had the same parents and name as last time through. Anyway, preschool was pretty boring, considering I had the mind of an adult in the body of a toddler. Those memories were quickly suppressed. I quickly flew through school, again as a result of going through highschool and part of college previously. I personally think that was the only reason I was accepted each time I was expelled. Thus, I was halfway through highschool at the age of eleven. Hmm, I might be underestimating my intelligence. My stats as they are now stand proud among the levels of great adults.

Description- Originally an ordinary guy, thrown into the Percy Jackson world by Zelretch for his own amusement, just before he would have been immolated in his own and given the gamer to see what would happen. Unlike the rest of his half siblings, he is not a 'brain child', instead having the DNA of his parents added to a shell that was grown inside of his human mother, due to complications that would not have allowed her to have a child normally. Due to his godly blood he has higher physical stats for a normal baby, and his past life along with his godly parent gave him the average mental stats of an adult.

Yeah, all my stats were absurd, especially for my age. The average adult was around level sixteen, with stats around level thirteen. My stats were closer to those of highly athletic adults, like those that would participate in the Olympics. On the other hand, I was closer to a strong half-blood on the mythological side of things. That also meant, as my luck would have it, I would be going to camp by the end of the school year, seeing as how the stronger monsters were attracted to me. Apparently my mom was clear sighted, and told my dad about my circumstances as far as she knew them. He wasn't happy about it, but he understood.
I had trained in martial arts and weaponry since I had started expressing an interest in them, so I wouldn't be totally helpless if need be. Also, magic! I don't know if it's just me, but any magic system I can understand, I can replicate to varying degrees of effectiveness. That meant I could utilize the elements, tracing and reinforcement from fate, along with a few other things, including the magic system from DXD that I had seen last time through and teleportation. I tended to use a version of the Alamut guard's bladed staff, although altered to help with my magic, when fighting against the monsters, but I could still you a sword even if it isn't my preferred weapon.
I think I went a little overboard with magic though, seeing as one of my spells, a kind-of chain lighting with the holy element added for kicks, absolutely shreds the weaker monsters, like hell hounds, and still works quite well on some of the stronger ones. Add to that it only takes four hundred mana without the staff, and the holy element itself makes the spell around 5 times stronger against most monsters than without. Although it isn't that surprising considering that was all I could train for the first six years of my life. It was odd enough for others to see a kid around six or seven to train physically, imagine a four year old! That didn't mean I wasn't still training with my magic then, but I didn't focus so much on it. The magic rankings went from Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, Master, Arch-Mage, then Grand Master-Arch mage. Either way, it was time for sleep. I get the feeling something is going to happen tomorrow, and something bad.

I was right! The FUCKING NEMEAN LION came and killed my parents! I was so distraught over that I shoved half my mana reserves into a single, extremely powerful bolt of holy lightning that I sent strait threw its eye, along its optical nerves and melting it's brain instantly. The satyr that had been assigned to my school found me crying over the half eaten remains of parents, before I blacked out.

- Gamer's mind would done something about it before then, but I had just watched my parents get killed by the Nemean Lion, and I was exhausted from the entire ordeal and using half my mana all at once. When I woke up, we was at camp. Hundreds of miles away. At camp. I think I know how they felt in the Lost Hero after coming from the grand canyon. On the other hand, canon will be starting in about two years, unless you go by the movies, in which case jump into Tartarus and get eaten by his face. Anyway, it will all start in about two years, because everyone was, obviously, two years younger than described. That leaves me two years to train, because if Zelretch wants to be amused he will almost certainly drag me along with the other questers. So, time-skip!

Dungeons are awesome! Unlike some of the gamer stories I've read, time doesn't stop when you're inside of them. Instead, it's just speed up 12:1, meaning for every 12 hours inside, it's about 1 out. I managed to level up three time, yay for spending an entire day, dungeon time so about four hours outside, fighting monsters! And, I didn't need to stop to sleep or eat, so I could use the entire day to kill things. It also helped with burning off the anger from my parents deaths. Apparently you can still hear certain sounds from outside the ID, like the dinner horn. I also earned a title for killing the last of 150 beast-like monsters.
James Greenwood, (No Title)
Race- Human (Demigod, son of Athena)
LV- 23 (7,042/24,890)
Title gained!
Beastslayer- +25% damage done to every beast-like monster.
The smile on my face was one of unholy, sadistic glee as I changed my title. I wonder if using holy lightning had that effect on everyone, or if it was just a hidden part of my personality, before discarding the thought as unimportant, and blasted another hell hound. Apparently, beast-like monsters were described as one that looked like any animal that exists for normal people, like for example the hell hound I killed less than a minute ago. They are similar enough to normal dogs they take the extra damage, however things like drakes, lamias' and the gorgons along with quite a few other kinds of monsters wouldn't take the extra damage.
Regardless, when I exited the ID, I did so at the end of the Hermes line, about a minute before we all sat down. Only a few of them were confused on who I was and how I got there. Those were the ones who noticed I hadn't been there before, and were confused over how I just appeared behind them. I just waved them off.
"Now," Chiron started, "Before we eat, we have a new demigod to introduce" He started looking around, but couldn't see me. "Where is James Greenwood?" I stood up, waved to him, had my mom's symbol glow above my head, and walked over to my new table. Everyone was quite confused over my appearance, after all, my eyes and hair weren't the same as the rest of my half siblings. My hair was a dark, dark black, but it's my eyes that everyone was looking at. The pupils were a dark gray, and the colored part itself wasn't gray like the rest of my siblings, instead being three rings total, one of each light blue, emerald green, and a light purple that seems to grow darker each time I use the holy lightning spell, the differences probably due to how I was born. The emerald from my father, and the light blue from my human mother, although I don't know where the purple came from.
After that, we all burned a portion of our food for each of our respective parents and started eating. I was asked questions of all sorts, and answered what I could and didn't think too invasive. Certain things I wasn't able to answer-
Cannon Cap
The inbuilt restriction placed upon a Chosen of Chaos to stop them from revealing their past life and future knowledge of what might or might not occur. Also stops most others from realizing what they are. Can be overridden if a CoC is pushed far enough to say basically fuck cannon and draws on the power of their sponsor, Chaos, to completely obliterate whatever poor schmuck that decided to anger one who brings chaos by existing. Basically the CoC version of a Deus EX Machina to stop end of the world scenarios that they could not normally. That does not mean they can't be killed though, they aren't invincible, but it's difficult to the point of just being easier to avoid them, and shear desperation to continue living can trigger their 'Bringer of Chaos' thing.
- but luckily they knew when not to push. Soon enough it was time for bed, and so ended my first day of Camp.

The next week saw me starting the day, getting breakfast, training whether with everyone else or just in one of my ID's, in which I learned I was reasonably good with archery even if I was nowhere near as good as some of those in the Apollo cabin, get lunch, continue training until dinner, after which we either had a campfire or one the different games they had for us to play. Repeat day in and day out for the next two years, with me killing a lot of monsters in ID's, I think I might have gotten the highest kill count of monsters of any hero in their mortal lives, until Percy Jackson himself along with Grover in toe finally arrive.

There we go, that's were I'm going to end. Sorry about the lack of anything interesting in this chapter, but what was I going to do? I don't know how to write fight scenes, although I will try, I needed to put something to start out with, and there wasn't much conversation because, do you really want to listen to the conversations of six year olds? Also, can any of you guess what I'm going to be doing with him? I have a few hints throughout the chapter, but I don't think I made it that obvious. OK, I have no idea what I am doing with this. It was just an amusing idea I had after finishing the latest chapter of a similar story. I have no idea how, or even if, I will continue the story, but it is what it is. Also, I needed a way for the character for the character to get into the world, and I didn't feel right just having them appear in the world, but that does not mean it will be a triple crossover. At least, not with that anime. I just found it more amusing to do it this way. Also, the cannon cap thing. Before any of you complain, yes it was influenced greatly by the Outsiders Chronicles thing from Dis Lexic, and the Chaos I'm using will not be the primordial from Greek mythology, instead being another name for the main character of a story I have since taken down because I couldn't stand reading it myself, and I couldn't understand what was going through my mind when I wrote it. Back to what I was saying, I will change the cannon cap thing if asked by Dis Lexic, but not any of the ones who will read this story. It's his and I'm just borrowing it, seeing as how I have ideas that will require some reason for them not to just shout out/ get tortured out/ mind read/ discovered they have future knowledge and what they are. The preserving cannon thing works well enough for their actions, but I prefer a solid reason some people can't just pull it from their minds or something.
