The original inspiration for this story came fully from I'mjusttryingtofindmyway with both his 'Percy Jackson and the game' and 'Percy Jackson and the world of magic' Both of which I am a big fan of thus I have decided to create what I would imagine the two of them together would be like. Anyways I hope that you enjoy it and don't just think that I am copying his stories as that isn't what I am intending to do.

FOR STORYS SAKE PERCY IS CURRENTLY 10 YEARS OLD
Lots of odd things have happened in my life, hell I somehow screwed up any field trip I could. An example of this was in 4th grade / last year I hit a switch accidentally and sent my class into a tank of water at the marine world shark pool. Out of all of those things I never truly expected to wake up to see large grey box in front of my face saying 'START GAME' in a white box and black text. The box was partly transparent, enough that I could see my surroundings but not enough to see any detail to it. When I lifted my hand I up to swipe the box away it only went straight through it as if it wasn't there the box disappearing as my hand went through it and appearing again when my hand was out of the way. I tried again... And again... And again... But it still didn't work it just wouldn't go for longer than a couple seconds. After around twenty minutes of trying to get rid of the box a flashing box with green neon words appeared under it saying 'PRESS THE BOX DUMBASS' with an arrow pointed to the Start Game box. With an "Oh." I pressed the box and instead of the box reappearing when my hand had moved away this time it stayed gone and then everything went black.
It wasn't like I had fallen unconscious as I was still aware of my surroundings only my surroundings had somehow changed to a void of just pure darkness in every direction. It felt like hours before I saw light again, although it could of just felt like that because of my ADHD, when light did appear again I found myself in a large throne room with thrones around 30ft tall and 15ft wide. There was 15 thrones in total, all looking as different as can be from each other with two of them being as bright as possible seemingly lighting their surroundings because of their extreme brightness,with the only difference between them being one featured the sun with small glimpses of the Earths ground whilst the other one was just bright light. In contrast to that pair of thrones there were two pitch black thrones that seemed to draw all light form the surrounding area their only difference was how one of them showed the moon lighting the earth floor. Another pair of thrones seemed to be made from water itself with it flowing and changing shape to look like waves both of them were almost exactly the same the only difference being that one of them contained sea life whilst the other didn't. The final pair looking thrones were both everchanging never staying the same colour for two long their difference was that one of them had a symbol of a bow and arrows was prominent on one of them and the other had a serpent of some kind entwined with it. Another one was made from red rock with black flames burning on the head and arm rests, another was made of mud and rock. The right of this was one made of literal clouds another throne was made from gears spinning with different types of clocks in between the gears. The most normal looking throne was plain white marble with a spindle at the foot of it that was around 10ft tall. The last throne contained a human looking being they were wearing clothes that seemed to show the galaxy itself and if you looked closely you could see the planets slowly moving, these clothes were the exact same as the throne that he was sitting on. The being turned towards me making me notice fully just how tall it was at a godly 45ft tall when standing up, he slowly walked towards me - which wasn't very far as he was only around 100 ft away which was like 5 steps for him. When he was getting close he seemed to shrink until he was only 7ft tall, which was still pretty damn tall.
"So you finally figured out how to press the button?" I could only stare in shock at this what seemed like Godly being making jokes about me was not something I would expect to happen on my Saturday morning, hell before all this happened I expected to be just hanging out with my roommate Matthew at school as we did every weekend yet instead I am either having visions or I am actually talking to God. "You know it's rude to ignore someone. Especially someone that you think is so called God."
"Wha- what how did you know, I didn't say that? And who are you then?" He only smirked at me in response and then clicked his fingers. For a second I wondered what he was doing but before I could say anything he lifted his finger to his mouth and pointed behind me, I turned to find fireworks appearing on the ground firing up and exploding a couple metres off the ground creating the word Chaos out of the light. "Wait is that your name? Chaos?"
"Yeah it is, I'm guessing you don't know who I am do you?" I shook my head at this which made him continue "Well I'm guessing you have heard of the Greek Pantheon cause well I guess you could call me the creator of all of the Gods/Titans and so on. Essentially I created the Universe as you know it. Ok you got all that?"
For a couple minutes the only response that I could create was a nod of the head. several minutes after that I was finally able to compose an answer "Uh yeah right... How do I know that you are telling the truth though? Other than the whole me teleporting here and the grey box thing."
"Well what would I have to do to prove to you that it is true?" This got me thinking, what would prove that he was the very creator of the universe? Ah I got one maybe if he gets a dinosaur to appear in this room that would be sorta cool I guess. Without me having to say anything a Gigantopithecus (AN: It's just a really big prehistoric Orangutan.)
"While this may not be a dinosaur I think this would suffice?" He then gestured behind himself and stepped out of the way revealing a monkey like creature that was around 1m tall "It's a baby Gigantopithecus which fell extinct a couple hundred thousand years ago but it still counts! Oh and yes I did read your mind" All I could think about was how the little creature looked adorable but then I remembered the whole reason I came here or more specifically arrived here without my consent or wish to be here.
"Uh can we get back to why we are here and why you brought me here? What was that whole start game thing?"
"Ah yes sorry about that I kind of forgot about that, anyway I brought you here because well you alone will have to face things that no mortal ever has or probably ever will. You see you are the first join of the Greek Pantheon and Magical blood in over 2,000 years the last being in ancient Greece itself, yet now when the world is about to face two or possibly three great wars someone with your power and joint heritage will almost undoubtedly be in the centre of it and as much as I hope it's not true I feel that without some sort of help you won't survive what is to come so I first ask you do you accept my help?"
"Oh wow you really like overloading my brain with information don't you. I guess some help would be good so what do you have in mind? Make me be able to kill at the click of a finger or maybe the power to control time that would be pretty cool? So which is it huh?"
"Well I'm sorry to say but if I give you anything big like that the fates will be able to tell that I have interfered with their plans for you thus I have to give you a more discreet power something that in time could give you everything that you suggested and much more, the power I am going to give you is something that you probably haven't ever heard of I will give you the power of what humans call an RPG game." This confused me, how was that a power what would I be able to get from an RPG game. "Ah ah think about it you would be able to have faster and easier control over your powers eventually you would be able to gain new abilities such as learning a spell that shoots fire could turn into full control over fire if you practice it or being able to gain so strong you can punch a building and destroy it. That is the power I am giving you"
"Ok I get it now I have no idea how I didn't think of that now that I think about it as you literally brought me here by making me press a start game button. Anyway how do we do this do you send me back and I suddenly have this power or do I have to earn it somehow or what?"
"Oh no nothing like that I only have two more questions for you and then you will be sent back at the same time you left so it was like you were never gone. So question one is what class would you like to be this decision will shape what fighting style you may adapt what weapons you are more proficient with and what spells and powers will be easiest to you in the future." Then a wave of his hand the grey box once again appeared in front of me with a list of five possible classes:
- Mage - A Ranged class that uses magic to fight. ADV - Has higher Mana, Will and Wisdom. DIS - Has lower Health and Perception. Has an affinity with Staffs and wands. At class lvl 20 class changes to Wizard, at class lvl 35 choice between Elementalist, Necromancer or Sorcerer.
- Warrior - A Melee class that has the highest DPS. ADV - Has higher Strength, Health and Defense. DIS - Has lower Dexterity and Intellect. Has an affinity with swords and spears. At class lvl 20 changes to Fighter, at class lvl 35 choice between Barbarian, Knight or soldier.
- Archer - A Ranged class that has the highest ranged DPS. ADV - Has higher Dexterity, Perception and Will. DIS - Has lower Strength and Wisdom. Has an affinity with bows and crossbows. At class lvl 20 changes to ranger, at class lvl 35 choice between bowman or sniper.
- Priest - A Mixed class that focuses on healing. ADV - Has higher Intellect, Wisdom and Mana. DIS - Has lower Endurance and Defense. Has an affinity with grimoire and wandless magic. At class lvl 20 changes to Healer, at class lv 35 choice between shaman or curer.
- Thief - A Melee class that uses stealth. ADV - Has higher Dexterity, Perception and Endurance. DIS - Has lower Defense and Health. Has an affinity with knives and martial arts. At class lvl 20 changes to Rogue, at class lvl 35 choice between Assassin or Ninja.
Looking at all the choices I was unsure of what to choose, on the first hand Mage would be good for powerful magical damage whilst Thief seemed like a fun one to use however in a fight warrior seemed like the best one. I looked to Chaos in hope that I would get some sort of help in the decision that could possibly shape the rest of my life at only 10 years old. Maybe if I think about it in terms of what could get me what powers and if they are more useful, as obviously Mage would give me easier access to everything but even something like thief could end up giving me control over shadows in a way of getting better stealth which could prove useful. Priest and Archer were already out of the question as neither of them seemed particularly good so that left the final three. Thief in the end though isn't really my thing as I'm not particularly the stealthiest person in the world. "Would I be able to make up for the disadvantages of the other classes if I worked on it?"
"Yes for example a priest could eventually have the strength of a warrior if you spent enough time on strength, or an archer could learn martial arts if you spent time learning it the only difference would is that it would be slower" With that last bit of confirmation I needed I lifted my hand to choose my class, I chose the Mage. As soon as I had pressed on the mage class the screen disappeared and I felt a sudden surge of power and another screen popped up:

"Now that is done my last question for you before you can leave is , do you want to keep this Gigantopithecus? I have no use for it and well fully grown it can reach up to 3m tall but I'm betting with your new powers you could train it to be taller than that maybe up to 10m or so." I didn't even bother saying anything I only walked up to the gorilla like creature and Chaos did the rest clicking his fingers and suddenly a screen popped up saying:
You have tamed a Gigantopithecus what would you like to name it:
I don't know why but I immediately thought Drakon, and thus that is what appeared and I quickly pressed submit which made another screen pop up saying:

And that was the last thing I saw before yet again everything went black. This time I really did fall unconscious so I was instantly awake again back in my dorm room in my bed. I slowly sat up to see Matthew standing next to me getting changed so I quickly turned around not wanting to intrude in his privacy and see something that I did not want to see. When I finally heard the movement stop I turned around to find Matthew fully changed and tying his shoe laces on so I decided that now would be a good time to show that I was awake and I got up and walked over to where my clothes were saying "Hi" To him on my way passed. I then got an idea in games they have an inventory that stores their clothes that they can get changed into so I imagined the inventory opened and found what I was looking for a Wardrobe tab on the menu. I clicked on it and found that there was already clothes in there. I found a random T-shirt and pair of jeans and selected them which seemed to just teleport them onto my body. When I had dressed myself fully I walked out of our dorm room discreetly as I didn't want Matthew following me and find out about my new powers, once I found a secluded part of the school grounds - A small clearing a small forest with a pond in the middle - I sat down at the edge of the water and brought up the main page:

I then clicked on a small box in the bottom left that said 'SKILLS' which brought up:

After seeing that list I swiped it away and got to work on improving on the skills. I started off with water manipulation as it wasn't one that I could do in many places that didn't cost as much mana as the others. I set to work by pointing my right hand towards the pond water and focused on the movement of the water, imagining the water changing shape. For several minutes I just seemed to stand their until finally I noticed a slight movement in the water it was moving upwards slowly until I had around a litre of water about 30cm off the pond. I was unable to shape it anymore than a ball or a flat surface but I was happy with it but I could feel the intense stain on my Man and within a minute and a half I had to drop it to stop myself from losing all my Mana leaving me with 15 Mana left. I then heard Ping! Ping! and the menu came up saying:

"Cool I leveled up and my mana is back to full. Well back to work then!" I then began concentrating on the water again finding it a lot easier to do this time around I also found that I could make more complex shapes such as cubes rectangles after the two minute mark I was even able to make a star. after three minutes I quickly created the most complex shape I could, which was a shield like shape with circular frame with edges that curled around. I then used my last bit of Mana to freeze the water and then caught the shield proud of what I had spent the last three minutes making. Yet again after finishing I received even more pings. Ping! Ping! Ping! followed by:
