Hi, I got this idea from a fanfic called a second chance, a new life by wolflover2770.
It was really fun and I had another idea so I am writing my own version of it with a few twists and turns.
Please enjoy :)

Percy's pov
I was trying to fight my way through the monsters, but there were just too many. Many demigods had died and the rest of the seven were fighting giants with their godly parents. I slashed and hacked my way through the monsters, disintegrating them as I went over to Gaea. That was when I heard a scream. I looked and saw that Annabeth had a sword through her chest. But that wasn't it. Gaea had driven her sword through my wise girl's chest.
I saw Gaea rising from the earth with a triumphant smile. I was too angry and lost to even think about what I was doing. I charged her. I slashed at her with Riptide and started stomping my feet, creating a huge earthquake. I also created an enormous hurricane without knowing it in all my rage. I attacked her and she deflected my blow. We exchanged blows for some time but I was getting slower. My movements were getting sluggish and Gaea managed to get in my guard and drove a dagger into my heart. And then... Nothing... I felt pain and darkness over took me.. The only thing I could hear were the screams of my father and my friends.
I woke up and saw the fates in front of me. They looked at me quizzically. One of them said, "How did you do that?" My throat felt dry but I croaked out, "Do what?" the fates exchanged a look and they said, "You were not meant to die. Neither was your girlfriend. You were supposed to kill Gaea and live happily with Annabeth. However, a force came in and took over, thus evading fate." I was shocked for a moment, but then got angry. Even the fates had planned a happy ending for me but something else had to mess up and let Gaea win when Annabeth and I should have been celebrating our victory.
The fates interrupted. "Perseus, we offer you a second chance to make things right. You will be reborn and eliminate all the threats, bring peace to the Greek and roman pantheons, and become the greatest hero to ever live. But be warned, you will not be the same person you used to be. You will have a different name, a different identity. However, you might be able to reclaim your own life and save your friends." I thought about that. I could live a happy life in Elysium, with Annabeth and leave Gaea to the others, who had no chance of defeating her. Or, I could have a new life, but Annabeth wouldn't know me. Nobody would know me and I would have to start all over. It would be a hard life, but I might be able to bring peace to the world and be with Annabeth again.
"I accept." I said. For a split moment, the fates smiled. "Good choice. We will turn back time so you will be reborn again at the same time the real you were born. You will be chaos's heir and go to camp half-blood when you are twelve. Good luck." They said and gave me a string from their basket. "This is your life string. It is in your possession now. If anything happens to the string-" "Let me guess. I die." I quickly said. They nodded and said, "Hold on tight," As they blasted me with a blue beam of power. The beam touched me and I started losing consciousness. The last words I heard were, "Ha, we won! Pay up, chaos." And a voice saying, "All right, there. Five thousand drachmas. Happy?"
