Chapter 1
Ritual and Effect
Last time -
She took a breathe "Me, you and fate are going to go do this ritual and the power it will my son will bring primordials to there knees once he grows in power. He will have no limit."
"Sure thing.. Angela, Let us go now." Hades spoke grabbing his sisters arm as she teleported them both away with a flash of light.
Now
With a flash of light both Hades and Angela now reveled to be Perseus mother to us have transported to a massive cave currently in the grand canyon.
You see this is the lair of fate it is heavily guarded with mist so strong Gods don't know where it is. It is also covered in repel wards and runes of protection to keep this place from ever being walked in by accident though it happens from time to time.
But another feature to the cave is that it is constantly moving. Every few minutes it stays at a location and then moves to the next so they tend to never be found unless by pure accident.
"Hades we must hurry before it moves, into the cave." Angela spoke with urgency to her brother Hades.
Hades followed his sisters fast walk. As they entered the cave he felt it wash over him the effects of this place telling him to run away. He looked over at his sister to see her hood covering her face as she speed walked stiffly in to the cave not bothered by the mist and magic around this place.
As they got past a certain point Hades could not hide the gasp that left his mouth. Inside he expected it be worn and dirty but what they upon was something much more different than what he had imagined.
The entrance spread wide about 100 feet and went up 150 feet. Pure marble columns with silver and gold seemingly looking like it was made and carved out of one big piece of marble filled with gold and silver.
There we're massive paintings framed in gold and silver of people throughout time. From scenes of when Kronos ruled to a picture of Achilles battling at troy.
There we're others of mortals who did great or terrible things as well like Hitler to the 300 Spartans who held back the Persians.
They walked across the massive room till they finally came upon a missive oak and bronze door. Angela walked up to the door and pushed them open with ease only someone like Heracles could.
"Ananke" She bellowed. Stalking forward to greet the Primordial of Fate herself she grabbed the said goddess in a fierce hug.
Ananke spoke with a voice caring like a mothers and a soft smile on her face "Angela my dear, beautiful as ever. I see it is time for your son to be free from fate and change the world for the better."
Angela nodded her head furiously making me wonder what his fate would of been should we not of been here to help.
"Ahh young Hades as handsome as ever i see." smiling gently she came over and shook his hand.
Hades spoke a small smile coming on to his face "Thank you, Lady Ananke." he gave a small bow to show he respected her and didn't want to be on her bad side.
Laughing gently she shook her head and said "None of that child, i am not an Olympian." Spoke in a way to mock the Olympians and there want for everyone to bow at there feet.
Hades couldn't help himself as he let out a chuckle at how his siblings.
Angela looking impatient spoke "Ananke, we must proceed to do this now please."
Ananke let loose a sigh and proceeded to speak "Im not fully sure what this ritual will give your son other than a power unknown to us at this time. And for the power there will be a price from us and him."
She took a breath to continue "Our payment will be in a little blood that will be used in the ritual but freeing him from fate could bring changes unknown to us to our world."
Looking more stressed now she spoke "But that is if mother accepts to help after we have done this ritual if not then it will fail and your son will die."
Angela looking nervous and deep in thought. After a few moments she spoke "Yes, we will do this I am sure Lady Chaos will not let my first born son die." the I hope was kept in thought to herself.
Ananke looked at her knowing her true thoughts on the matter at hand went to speak when a darkness seeped in to the room.
The shadows did not feel of her sisters but of a different type she had not felt in millennia.
"Mother." Came the words from Anakes mouth as she did not ever expect to see her mother again. Since she was so busy with the rest of the universe and its making.
"Hello my child. It has been many years since I rested my eyes on you." the voice spoke coming from all directions. It was neutral in sound with no emotion but the power behind it was overwhelming.
Her mere presence made Hades feel like a bug. He dropped to his knees from the aura that she gave off making him do so. Then as quick as it came it was gone.
"I must apologise i forget being around weaker beings I have to lock away my power so they can at least be in my presence." She said sounding genuinely bad.
"It is fine Lady Chaos." Hades spoke back. Standing back up straight and a bit annoyed for being called weak.
Then the shadows moved again to the centre next to where they stand and wrapped in a cocoon of darkness then it melted seemingly in to the ground reveling a women of unimaginable beauty.
Hair darker than pitch black and eyes holding millions of stars inside them showing explosions of stars and black holes eating away at different galaxies.
"Ahem" Chaos cleared her throat. Quite loud might I add, Snapping them out of there starring at her eyes. Chaos shifted as though she was unconfutable. "I believe that you required me for something." Chaos spoke sounding amused and had this know it all look in her eye.
Ananke looked at Angela waiting for her to tell her what she wishes for. Angela's courage seemed to seep away from her in that moment. Hades noticing this cleared his throat and stepped forward saying. "Lady Chaos, my sister wishes to perform a ritual to help her son and free him from his fate." Hades was looking nervous now.
Chaos got this emotionless look in her eye and she just stared at Hades. Hades was shaking now and beginning to feel very unconfutable with how she was staring. Hades stayed patient though waiting for Chaos to say something.
Chaos then out of nowhere burst in to laughter the hysterical kind and was struggling to breathe. Finally she caught her breathe and spoke. "Sorry Hades it just your face." giggles escaping her lips as she speaks again. "You looked like you were getting touched somewhere that's not been touched before on you." Here she threw a casual wink at him finding it funny how his cheeks got a golden blush on them and made him shift more unconfutable.
Now she turned to Angela staring at her with a soft caring gaze. "My dear, I can see that your child will need this power from what I can see of what is to come. But even I do not know the limit of this power. It can make whatever they hold closest in to a power or furthest. We shall know when the time comes. Now follow I wish to help with this myself as well."
With those words she stalked up to a wall resting her hand on it, the wall pulled itself open revealing a obsidian stone stair way leading down into a dark hallway lit only with greek fire in seemingly what appears to be a black diamond.
Stalking down the stairway, Chaos grabbed a torch from the wall and began leading the way down.
Hades and Angela looked at each other then at Ananke. Who in turn noticed there look and rolled her eyes before gracefully following her mothers steps.
Hades and Angela soon followed after the mother and daughter down the stair way that seemed to be leading no where.
A whole hour passed before they saw the end coming up Chaos still keeping her pace and not at all bothered by the seemingly endless stair way.
Hades could not help his sigh of relief as they came upon a massive stone room lit with torches of greek fire and a single river running through the room.
A single massive slab of rock in the middle with a big whole inside was sitting right in the middle of the room.
Dead trees littered the area surrounding the cave. Looking closer Hades noticed that om the stone slab that Chaos was walking to seemed to be covered in runes.
Inside there was a pool of dark blue and blood red swirling together inside the slab stirred by an invisible spoon.
Stepping closer Hades could feel the power roll if this area in waves. Like that of a gods true form but much more powerful and thick yet it seemed to not have any domains like it was pure godly energy.
"Mana" Chaos said simply answering Hades question out load that they all had asked through there mind. Except Angela as she seemed to know what it was before us and looked nervous now.
Then again she is the goddess of mana and power as her domains are so she can most likely see the effects of what type of mana this would be if it was anything holding a form of power.
Back to the present though Chaos looked at us all expectedly and then she sighed as she realised Hades was confused and the other two were in shock at the amount of thick pure mana was in the pool.
You see the stronger the ritual the more steps needed. Like more forms of mana, pure mana but to use so much pure mana usually very powerful spells held only about a litre of mana but this held well over 100 litres so you can understand why the goddess of mana was currently looking at something rivaling her true form.
And for the goddess of fate it was the fact she could see fate of everything including mana objects such as a mana powered tool or weapon it has a fate of when meeting its end or just a tree as they are all powered by natural mana.
There are three main basics of mana. Natural, Light and Dark but there is a forth where this mana is like lets say the mana of life it is pure mana released out of a mana pool inside a being. But too have so much would be unheard of.
A human could hold about 10 milliliters of pure mana inside them which would be next to nothing from making one shade of grass move.
Where as demi-gods get mana relating to there godly parents and a weak demi-god holds half a litre and some demi-gods usually of the big three 1 whole litre or more if they are very lucky in there mana pool department.
Now gods are another scale. Minor looking about 2-3 litres of pure mana but yet like demi-gods are limited due to there parents domains. Olympians like the big three hold 12-10 litres ranging from oldest to youngest.
Now Hades here has only about 11.5 litres of pure mana and his sister being the goddess of it is very lucky.
Angela has a massive mana pool of 50 litres averaging Primordial level of mana pool. But with her domains she is not limited with what her mana can do. Be it control winds or breathe fire. Mana is her domain after all but that along with her domain of power gives her a boost of how strong her mana is.
So 1 litre of her mana is = to about 2 litres of the big three so her mana is like twice as strong making her very feared by everyone and anyone.
Now that mana explanation is over till future where it requires to be updated with a more simpler term of describing it. All in due time.
Chaos looked annoyed as if she had been interrupted by something of yes she wanted to explain well too bad. Chaos spoke looking more agitated at being unable to do anything "Ananke, Angela and Hades." she paused her monologue for a moment.
Before continuing "Today, we make a boy whose future was known to have a tragic end to save foolish gods not worthy of him. But now we shall change his fate and put it in to his own hands." She smiled pleased with her speech.
Chaos instructed the gods and Ananke on what to do "First I will get some tubes." Tubes able to hold about a litre came out of nowhere forming in the gods and Ananke's hands.
"Now I have given you each two tubes. One must be filled with your mana domain like not pure. The other filled with a litre of your godly blood so we may begin." The Creators voice was firm and demanding as she knew that they would do it but she wanted to explain so everyone knew.
The gods and Ananke proceeded to do what was tasked with them moving away from each other a bit so as to have enough room to breathe doing this.
Hades mana was dark like almost a pitch black and had a sense of fear and death to it. His mana was dark mana but like a side type as dark mana is not evil mana which is very long explanation for another time.
The reason is his domain and him making it a unique mana for only him to control and those of his mana or children. Hades type of mana uses his control of shadows and being the lord of the dead he would have a lot of death in his mana so his type of mana is a very dangerous type as it can kill very easy considering it is the mana of the dead.
Which can kill or resurrect. So if you die this mana basically can control the body like a puppet but that would take years to do so someone like Hades who has it as his domain is given instant control with out the training.
Though it only gives the basics hence why when they trained for war using powers and weapons they were strong now his powers are at bare minimum meaning he is quite weak because he is out of practise whilst his mana has not been used and built a block on it as it has gone solid like after being dormant for none high use to break his limits.
Now on to Ananke as hers is a very interesting grey mana. Meaning it has light and dark mana inside but not enough of both to be one or another as fate is on balance if something good happens something bad happens.
So her mana is a power with fate inside so one with this mana could choose there own fate and be free from control or manipulation of mind or body.
But like i said moving on again Angela now her mana is interesting being the goddess of mana and power her mana come out in a powerful dark blue showing her mana to in fact be pure mana and pulsing with power.
Angela's mana will give a boost in power a big one to what ever applied to and give it pure mana. But it basically another litre of pure mana but boosted and stronger than average pure mana.
Yeah there is a lot of mana in this universe with a lot of types and sub types to make everything from a bottle of soda being filled with mana to help keep mortals alive(water) even as little as it is. It is there in everything.
"And now your blood please." Chaos demanded as she took the vials from each of them placing them safely on a floating tray.
They did as they were asked as Chaos handed them each a dagger covered in runes to replenish blood and cut sharper than a sword made of diamond going through warm butter.
Hades was the classic golden blood shaking with power. Hades was cautious as a mere drop of blood is very violent when under certain levels of stress or spells should i say.
Effects ranging from the dead deciding to go create a mini apocalypse if from his. Or his sister now that worrying as it could mean a sinkhole appearing in middle of Manhattan and ending the gods rein. Or a tornado of fire crossing over the sea.
Ananke could mean peoples make wrong choices and that fate could go unbalanced effecting a personality change causing a lot of pain from dark to light Ananke. Or it could just kill some people and no one would know why.
Ananke was a nice steel type colour. Primordial blood. Stronger Than the gods or titans who bled gold but even they are not as strong as Chaos with the famed platinum blood.
Angela's though was a bit different. Her blood has a mix of gold, steel and blue. Her blood had mana inside it so her bleeding is her loosing a bit of her reserve mana and seemingly way on way to hitting steel blood.
You see gods and titans are able to get this blood if there power level increases too much and hers is nearing it meaning soon be time for her sleep as her body evolves and adjusts to it so she can become a primordial.
This is after all what happened with Ananke as they all start at gold but only Chaos has had enough power to ever acquire platinum blood. Maybe Angela would be next but even then that is a couple thousand years of sleep ahead of her for that to happen.
Chaos moved around grabbing the tubes again and placed them on a separate floating tray then she moved over to the stone slab.
Once there she summoned to more tubes and we watched shocked as she helped with this ritual in a way if this goes wrong bye bye universe.
In one glass tube was a pitch black swirling mass of mana that radiated enough power inside to destroy the gods and titans with no effort and that was only a small amount of her power.
Where Hades, Angela and Ananke are still recovering from the loss of mana inside them Chaos recovered in an instant her mana levels going straight back to max. Then Chaos after placing the tube with the other mana ones moved over to the other tray and simply poked her finger.
They all watched in stunned silence at the amount of power inside her blood. The platinum blood shaking with chaotic energy. They all took a step back as the power Chaos had locked away inside her was flowing and pulsing on a heavy scale with no resistance till Chaos put the lid on the tube and then the energy was cut off.
They all hunched over taking a deep breathe and trying to get the blackness that threatened to cover there eyes. At least earlier when Chaos had appeared it was in control and wasn't trying to seep there energy away it was more like a warning. But when it isn't in control it felt like it was trying to destroy and rebuild them continuously.
Chaos apologised "Sorry for that should have warned you about what happens if my power is not under control." before she turned back around and looked at the pot before she spoke again. "It is time." and with that Chaos pulled the trays closer and a book out of nowhere.
Chaos explained "This book is the most powerful book in existence. After all it holds the key to create and destroy this universe as that is what it did." At this moment she looked dead serious staring at the gods and Ananke. Then with a voice threatening us she spoke "If anyone out side of this cave finds out about this book in any way or form I will hunt you down and obliterate your existence as if you were never apart of this universe."
They all nodded there heads fearfully understanding that this book was more important to Chaos then the universe because the universe can be rebuilt and improved upon where as this book is the key the life source of our universe. Her controller for the universe of what happens and when and she can change it when ever she wishes but it holds much more that just that from rituals from other dimensions it is the heart of our universe made before even Chaos. Though they did not know this all they knew was that Chaos had a very powerful book that can create and destroy there universe with ease.
"Now, I shall perform the ritual. The way you three would have done it would of blown this entire place to space and with the gate warps that hold this places ability to move freely around the world for moments at time without any resistance or disruption would of changed drastically like it could of sent you to a whole other part of this universe or a different one entirely." Her voice sending shivers down there spines at being away from there home world with no way to return unless by luck. But also her voice sounded dead. As if she was speaking from experience of how bad other universes could be.
"Anyway step back and let me perform this ritual and create what shall be given to your son Angela." Chaos spoke her voice stern and leaving no room for arguing.
Chaos first summoned a spoon, then she began by grabbing the bottle of mana from Hades and simply chucked it into the mana pool. Then she spoke in a language older than the universe itself from the book. "Akram en decud almna" her voice coming out cold and emotionless "Oba miten ski."
Then she chucked in Ananke's mana "Ona Faka bate" she kept stirring it slowly clockwise the mana bubbling violently quickly she proceeded to chuck in Angela's evening out the mana inside the pool making it have mini waves forming and moving around the mana she kept speaking "Un espo shi comcran".
Then she moved to the blood pouring it in slowly each one at a time. The same order repeated with Hades bubbling and darkening and lightening continuously with each time the spoon moved through the waves of mana. "Blasko yi deko" then she moved on to doing her quickly chucking her mana tube in the reaction was less then welcome.
A storm formed above the pool with mini cyclones of mana forming. Mana rain pouring down on the pool. Tsunamis forming and wrecking havoc around the mana pool the runes of protection keeping this from escaping in the middle of all this a big formation of blood and mana of the gods where in a circle with the mana of Chaos in the middle with an empty area next to it.
Here she poured her blood in and the gods and Ananke collapsed to there knees even with the runes keeping the power on a lock from killing them all it was strong enough to make Hades pass out and Angela struggling to breathe as the room became colder and darker the greek fire on the walls blowing out. The room was being lit up by the mana pool its dark blue light shinning across the room and Chaos face illuminating it in the dark.
Ananke was on the ground struggling to breathe much like Angela watching in shock at this pool of mana as she watched her mother pour the blood in and it rise up the mana pulsing above the pool as they began spinning around. A circle formation going faster around Chaos blood and mana blending together in the air then closing in on Chaos donation to the ritual.
Slowly bring it into a spinning disc of mana and blood and then it sunk it the mana pool turning on its angle. It began sucking in the mana like a vortex unstopping Chaos had stopped stirring it was up to the ritual to complete itself now.
The mana was slowly dispersing but the vortex began to get smaller and then after a few moments there was a dark blue black and white ball solid about 10 cm in diameter. It was pulsing with power and energy. Carefully Chaos reached out and grabbed the ball it pulsed in her hand and something happened that scared the crap out of the goddess with its sudden intrusion in the now silent room.
Ping
"What on earth was that." Chaos spoke to herself as she jumped and looked in front of her above the ball surprised to see what has appeared above it.
This is Gamer. I am a power of unknown origins. Do you wish to accept this power with the risks and power it shall bring.
Accept/Decline?
Chaos was shocked at what this power could enthral upon Perseus Jackson. She looked at these words again and again and from this she got to the logical conclusion it made his life like a game meaning he level up and get stronger and faster and certain ability's though it's limits where unknown and she would have to keep an eye on him to make sure he does not abuse it for dark ways.
Chaos declined the message and proceeded to create a small portal and turned her hand invisible for all so none could see it. Then she proceeded to grab the power and place it resting in a floating position in front of his face and covered it with heavy type of mist that none except herself could sense and made it so none could see it except her and Perseus.
"Good luck hero, hopefully this will make your life easier and give you something to always work towards." Chaos spoke gentle before sighing as she realised that she was the only one still standing before Angela gave out a groan as she slowly started to awaken. Guess it was time for Chaos to explain to her what her son has been given and that she has no clue really of its potential as it is quite literally limitless.
And Now We Shall stay with Perseus and his journey of the Game.
Perseus was having just a normal dream about unicorns and flying pigs coming in to bomb dive him. That was until they started dropping bombs raining down around him as he was about to get hit by the blast of the many nukes dropped around him he woke up abruptly.
Sitting straight up and covered in sweat from head to toe his hair sticking to his forehead as he wiped away at it. He sighed exhausted from the dream that took a heavy toll on his mind. That was before he heard the sound that would change his life forever.
Ping
(Changing to first person now)
I jumped as the sound came from nowhere making me smack my head on the top bunk where my best friend Grover was sleeping. He mumbled something about tin cans and carried on sleeping like the dead. I looked up to see something that shocked the hell out of me.
A dark blue, black and white ball of something was in floating in front of my face with only a few centre meters separating us. It was pulsing with some type of energy and I could tell it was definitely not normal. I mean come on if you saw this and thought it was normal then you are already messed up. But seeing this in front of me with some words above it I did the only natural thing.
I passed out. Going back to the bliss darkness and hoping I'm not going crazy or that it was just some dream. After being in the darkness for a while I felt myself slowly waking up as I opened my eyes slowly blinking away the sleep. Thinking about my weird dreams I have been having lately. First unicorns and flying pigs dropping nukes to a guy sitting on his thrown made of bones staring at me and just chuckling saying "Soon we shall battle but not yet when you are ready." Like what the hell is this creepy stuff I'm seeing and lets not forget that random short dream I had where there was a floating blue orb of something.
Yawning and giving a stretch I looked down my bed to notice something I did not expect to still see there. "It was just a dream." I spoke to myself quietly even though the evidence was currently right in front of me. Finally coming out of my shock I read the words that were currently floating in a little black outlined box with dark blue inside the borders and words wrote in a black on a white canvas.
This is Gamer. I am a power of unknown origins. Do you wish to accept this power with the risks and power it shall bring.
Accept/Decline?
I could only look in shock at what appeared to be a choice of some power of unknown origins called Gamer? This is completely weird and totally not expected. Like who would expect to wake up after thinking it was a dream and seeing that a floating orb of something telling you that you can have this power or not at what ever gods time it is in the morning. I looked at the clock to see it read 5:25 am.
I kept rereading what was wrote on what seemed to be a screen in front of me and wondered what would happen if I accepted. I mean nothing could happen and I could just be going crazy but if this is legit then imagine what I could do with the power I could be a superhero. But it also says it has risks it will bring so at least its honest and it makes sense a form of payment for what I would be gaining.
So with all the logic in my mind I thought why not and poked accept with my finger and watched as the ball came flying at my head. And then darkness.
Two hours later
I woke up feeling better than ever gods what a weird night I have had from accepting a power and then it flew at me. Then nothing in fact it only felt like a second had passed. Looking over at the clock seeing it read 7:25. I realised that I still had five minutes before I had to get out of bed.
Ping
That sound again. Looking up I noticed something I really should of started to expect with al the crazy stuff that happened in this one night.
Welcome. You are now The Gamer turning your life into a game. You will gain experience to level up. Learn new things easier and gain skills and different things for your new over powered life.
Good luck Gamer.
Well that was informative I guess. So I gain experience and I will level up and gain skills. Then there is something about being over powered as well.
Ping
Do you wish to do the tutorial?
Accept/Decline
"Yeah it would help a lot." I spoke to myself whilst moving to click accept so that I would be able to continue.
Ping
Quest Gained - Complete Tutorial.
Rewards - 10xp, 1 Stat Point.
"Complete Tutorial." I muttered to myself on the word tutorial a person like a hologram formed in front of me. From the structure of this beings build it was a women. She had her hood up and a massive sword on her back.
"Hello Gamer." Came the emotionless voice of the women. "I am the A.I for you. The chosen form is that of your mothers though I am not." she continued "I will show you the basics on what you need to do and you will work out the rest. I will help when I am really needed like a voice in your head giving advice."
So this A.I is looking like how my mother looks by taking on her form. I felt a bit of anger for my mother she was never there for me and my father John Jackson. But I do love my step mother Sally she makes amazing blue cookies. She is an incredible person she has never shouted at me or my father and trust me. We are both like kids for her to look after.
The A.I continued on "Perseus first lesson will be simple commands be they mental or vocal. Your first command is stats. Try thinking or saying it your choice."
Confused at what she ment he thought about what she could mean by stats when out of nowhere a box formed in front of him with information on it saying.

Looking and reading all this a few times to get this in to my head I realised that it said godly money and mentioned in my stats about my mother. Gods my mother is a goddess but who is she.
Ping
Plus 1 Wis
Wis - 6(-2)4
My wisdom had increase for being wise and working out something even though it should of been obvious. So I just got a free point not complaining.
So to increase these stats I must work in there respective area. Which makes sense now I am going to look at titles and then bonus to see what bonus points I could use there.
Titles
Son of Mana and Power - 10x mana amount due to mana domain of your mother. Due to power domain of your mother gives you extra points in stats and bonus. plus 4 points extra to both.
So looking at this basically I earn extra points for having this every time I level up I will gain more points than normal meaning I can get more powerful quicker but If I can train them then that would be a better option whilst they are easier for being low numbers so if I save it till later when I struggle I can get more when I need to.
Ping
Plus 1 to Int and Wis
Int - 5(-2)3
Wis - 7(-2)5
My point being proven I need to train them till its worth putting points in there. So I need to start lifting weights running and doing physical activities to increase my end and whilst doing that I will also increase str or vit or dex so many options though I am not sure how to increase luck other than using points. Maybe I will work it out if I get smarter if there is a way to increase it.
"Next Perseus, you have three sections to look at involving similar to your stats. Perks, Powers, Skills. And don't forget to check bonus area to see what that area can do for you to help you for the rest of your life." A.I spoke again in her annoyingly emotionless tone. Maybe I should ask her if she has a name other than being an A.I
"Do you have a name A.I?" I spoke unsure of how she would respond after all it has been her mostly talking and me listening to what she has to say. "No, I do not." replied the A.I instantly no hesitation or emotion. Well best change that and give her a name.
"Alice." I said to her I liked the name it was simple and can give another meaning to the A like an initial for the first name and what about the I could just ignore it for now. The now named Alice tilted head slightly showing a bit of confusion then went back to normal and said "Alice." as if she was testing the word. "I like the name. I believe." seemingly not sure how to respond or she is trying to understand human emotions.
"Alice, do you understand your emotions?" I asked her seeing her hesitate was all I needed to know that she did not in fact. "Yes I understand human emotions." she responded going back to being emotionless. Crafty way of wording she understands human emotion but not hers as she is not human.
I decided to speak my thoughts to Alice "Alice I never asked if you understood human emotion I asked if you understood yours." She understood what I meant and spoke "No, I do not." Seemingly annoyed at this I decided to help her where I can. "Alice I will help you try to understand your emotions and why you feel them but to be honest understanding emotions of your self is one thing of others is another."
"I would like that. Thank you Perseus now continue the tutorial and complete it so you understand the basics of your power." she spoke as if she was unsure of how to word or place the emotion in her voice.
"Right" I answered before moving to click on bonus in my stat section to see what it would hold.

Regeneration
Mana - 10% - Cost : 1
Health - 10% - Cost : 1
...Further is locked till level 10
So this area is one where I can spend bonus points to give me bonus rewards such as reduction on amount of experience I need to level by ever cutting it down or giving me a boost in experience also a way to increase my regeneration of mana and health that's a must get when I earn some points. It's a pity that I can not see further or unlock more options till I'm level ten meaning they must be powerful or interesting bonuses.
Now what other sections did she mention to check Perks, Powers and skills. So I guess start with perks and follow that order. Guessing these work like stats I must have to think of that section. Perks I thought.
Perks
Demi-God - Gives plus (5) to physical stats goes up (5) every 10 levels.
Dyslexia - Unable to read. Decrease in mental stats (-3) goes down (1) every 10 levels.
Chaotic Gamer - Gives level addition to all stats. Has a passive making you have no need for rest. No need to eat other than when too exhausted. Pain nullify to certain extent.
Right so I have a perk for being half god giving me the plus 5 to all my physical stats but due to dyslexia being a negative perk I also get -3 on mental stats and by level 30 I wont have it at all decreasing my stats. Now Chaotic Gamer gives me a boost to all my stats based on my level so being level 2 I would have plus two to all stats so on. Also I wont ever need to eat or sleep also my ability to feel pain is gone but not fully so a punch feel like a pinch. Something to test another time.
But that don't mean I cant die still just no pain because well it just pain which is physical and mental but death will only come when Hp hits 0 so I need to raise that because that's my base health now I wonder how much it would go up if I level it up or if I would have to increase it some other way.
Powers
Planewalker - Lv 1 (0%) Walk the different planes due to the ritual performed to give you this power -Sub ability PlaneEscape - Lv 1(0%) -Plane areas - Grass(Lv5)
Mana control - Lv 1(0%)Control mana to do your bidding be it forming shields or dealing damage. Cost - Mana x (10) damage or protecting. Goes up (2) per level up.
So I have the power to what seems be able to travel to another world so far I only have one unlocked and seeing as it says level 5 I presume I should wait till I am that level to enter as that would be level of opponents there. Then there is mana control I have 1000 mana and if use that I could deal a total of 10,000 damage max but only once before having to wait for it to regain itself and in that time I have no defence so 50/50 and do half the damage but live to see another day but I also presume I will be able to level up that by using it as well.
Also getting more mana is an option but like health would it be through level or another way. I kept thinking over this questioning myself till figured I would find out when I level up. Just wondering if I do how much would It be. Now on to the last part of this tutorial skills.
Skills
English - Lv 3(25%) Your basic language.
Sub skills-
Writing - Lv 4(20%) How fast and neat you write.(Average)
Reading - Lv 1(5%) How well you read.(Dyslexia) Need to beet the perk down to be able to read. (English)
Ancient Greek - LvMax - You have a max understanding of everything from writing to understanding Ancient Greek.
Okay so I can not increase my reading skill at all basically till I get rid of the negative effects of dyslexia so level 30 long way to go but I will get there. Also it seems I have a max to ancient greek so if I look in to increasing my intelligence by reading a lot or my wisdom then I will be able to through this just not through English.

Quest Completed - Complete Tutorial
Rewards - 10xp, 1 stat point
I looked at my point section and experience and sure enough they had both gone in to there respected area.
Exp - 10/150
Points - 1
Right so this is my power the power of the game I also have a A.I with emotional issues who looks like my mother apparently which I cant see because she is wearing a hood. But I can get strong really quickly have someone to confide in when I need to and I can become strong and help both my parents who are struggling with money both being in low paid jobs if I can become smart and strong enough there are many ways I could earn money and not be a pain and help them both out.
Ping
Quest - Family Man
Get Int and Wis to 50 points to help both your mother and father out by being able to look after yourself.
Rewards - 10,000xp, $10,000, ?
I could only look on in amazement but couldn't help but be saddened at how far my goal is to reach but I will reach it I will get there for both me and my parents. Plus look at that money I would get like dam I could use that right now to be honest. Also what is must be some type of mystery reward so I will only see this reward when I complete this quest. There is no time limit it seems and no consequences so I can get there at my own time but sooner the better.
What could improve Intelligence? Listening in class for once might also getting stat points. Training it though I could do smart stuff like read a book. But dyslexia. Wait Ancient Greek considering my mother is obviously a goddess and I am a demi-god I could work on intelligence by reading books wrote in Ancient Greek and because I have it mastered I would be able to read it quickly and be able to level up that quicker plus the smarter I am the faster I can work out what I need to do to improve my intelligence.
Looking over at my clock I couldn't believe the time it read 8:15. Grover was still out cold and I best wake him as we only have 30 minutes to get to lesson in time and ready. Though its a good thing we got Mr Brunner.
I moved to wake up Grover when I saw something that shocked me. Floating above his head was his name, title, level, race and a red bar with his health point displayed with a little blue bar beneath it with numbers I presuming that was his mana. But what really shocked me was its layout on him and what he was.
Title - Protector
Name - Grover underwood
Lv - 24
Hp- 300/300 : Mp- 250/250
Race- Satyr
He was a satyr half goat half man. That's why he walks with a limp without looking like he is putting it on I realised but can run really fast because he gallops.
Ping
Skill Gained
View - Lv 1(0%) This is a skill to view be it name, race or level. Can not view 30 levels higher than you stats. Also need to level up to unlock more features. Current - Title, Name, Lv(Below 30), Hp, Mp, Race
My first unlock of a skill and with this I can work out more about a person be it friend or foe and I cant see how strong someone is yet but I can unlock that by using this skill more.
Now to wake up Grover. So I did just that grabbing his arm I pulled him out of his bed saying "Get up G-man or your going to be late." he cried out with this weird noise he does but now I know what he is it makes sense hearing him bleat like that of a goat.
"Percy dude not cool." Grover groaned from his position on the floor. He then proceeded to get up slowly and walk of to the bathroom to go clean up. Whilst he did this I changed my clothes knowing I would have to wait till later to have mine as I always take to long in the shower or bath.
Grabbing my simple blue jeans and a plain black shirt I walked over to our doorway grabbing my shoes and putting them on. I grabbed my bag full of English books unfortunately nothing I could read as of yet. But I do have a book based on Ancient Greek in here actually something to do with its myths and monsters so this would be a very good book to read and gain information off.
Also there will be the visit to the Museum in two months which will have both Greek and Roman stuff there but at least I can go there and learn more stuff from it.
Small Quest - Late
Don't be late to lesson with Mr Brunner aka Chiron.
Rewards - 100xp, Help from Chiron.
Failure- Chiron will think you are a waste of time. Broken arm
Well this is the first time I got the failure to complete a quest. And let me tell you I really do not fancy having a broken arm. Also don't want this apparently Chiron who is supposed to be my Latin teacher called Mr Brunner, isn't Chiron like the guy with something like door way of dead I'm not sure I will have to search it up later.
Looking over at the clock I noticed I had 10 minutes to get to his class and I would have to run if I didn't want a broken arm anytime soon. Slinging my bag over my body I opened the door to my dorm before quickly shutting it behind me and taking of in a mad sprint straight for Mr Brunner's classroom.
I was dodging as many other students as I could but occasionally I would bump into someone or trip over which would normally hurt but now it didn't bother me at all just annoyed me with how it was blocking me from completing this quest. Moving faster I ran into a problem noticing Nancy the school bully in front of me most likely waiting to get me and Grover pissed off with her I did something quick.
I focused on my mana and pulled on it and focused on putting it on my arms and legs and if my idea worked then this would work like an exo suit.
Ping
Mana used 400
Mp - 600/1000
The mana began applying itself to both my arms and legs I could feel it and sense it but I could not see it almost as if it was either invisible or too thin for me to see it.
Ping
Power Create
Mana Exo Suit - Lv 1(0%) Use this too increase strength and speed. Speed increase 4mph. Strength increase 4: Cost 100mp per limb
Awesome so I just created a power that I can call upon and just think of how many limbs taking the concentration needed to make the skill out of the equation so instant usage just a lot of mana gone till I can get that number up.
It was weird I bet for others as my speed increased as I ran faster now and with my boost in strength I jumped to the left using the wall to run along as it was a smooth corner going round a bend I moved faster than a normal human allowing me stay on the wall long enough to push off and flip over Nancy and her friends.
It was awesome watching everything seem slow to me but normal to them watching as my body slowly spiralled to the other wall after going completely upside down over them. My feet landed on the wall on the other side as I continued before hoping back to the middle and making my way up to the door to the room with Mr Brunner inside.
Bang
The door almost came off its hinges as I forgot about my added strength from the mana suit I just used. Smiling apologetically at Mr Brunner I looked at the clock on the wall to notice I had two more minutes left before I would of failed the quest. "Sorry Mr Brunner didn't mean to open it that hard." I spoke trying to show how apologetic I really was at making the old man jump out of his skin.
"It is alright my boy. Though I suggest not opening doors that hard in future." Mr Brunner said sounding amused with a joke only he would get. (If you get the joke tell me in reviews and I will give Perseus a boost of 10 in his str stat. Hint)
I turned to notice the rest of class looking at me weird so I glared at them making one or two look away and others snort. I moved to take my seat when I heard the all to familiar.
Ping
Skill Created
Glare - lv 1(0%) Scare Enemy's lower or higher levels than you. Current Levels higher - 2
Right so I can scare level threes and lower than me well I don't think there are any level zeros on this planet at least I hope not for there sake. Now I should get that notification of quest complete soon right? After all lesson was about to start.
Ping
There we go that was what I was waiting for.
Small Quest Completed - Late
Don't be late to lesson with Mr Brunner aka Chiron.
Rewards - 100xp, Help from Chiron
I watched as my experience jumped from 10 to 110. I also noticed Mr Brunner moving my way in his wheel chair.
Exp - 110:150
So 40 experience to go. That I can do. Mr Brunner made it to over to me and only just now I realised that I forgot the quest mentioned him being Chiron someone else from Greek myth. As I used view on him though I was yet again surprised with what it showed.
Title- Trainer Of Heros
Name- Chiron
Lv-?
Hp- ? : Mp- ?
Race- Centaur
Right his level is too high for me to work out at least how higher he is but it says his title is trainer of heroes. So he must train heroes but the Chiron I was thinking about was something to do with the dead. So i decided to ask the man or centaur himself for help on this puzzle.
"Mr Brunner, Who exactly is Chiron?" I spoke confused. He looked shocked at my random question but shook his head answering the question. "He was a Centaur. Half man half horse, the trainer of heroes such as Heracles or Jason."
Well that answers that question of who he is and how I know of him. I loved the Argonauts stories involving him and the others. Also the original Perseus the son of Zeus.
"Thank you Mr Brunner." I replied back to him with a small smile. He smiled at me and continued helping out the other studens around the class.
Class was coming to an end now it had been an hour and I heard the small usual ping.
Ping
Plus 1 Int and Wis for paying attention for once.
Int- 6(-2)4
Wis-8(-2)6
Amazing I got a increase in two stat areas for just paying attentions for once. Now if I pay attention and learn more would it increase it more than just listening in a lesson then I best start paying attention more often.
Already I was using my brain more in realising that with Grover here it might be the gods will to look after demi-gods but if Chiron is here watching me it could A mean I'm in danger or someone he has been tasked to train to become a hero.

Quest - Camp Half Blood
Go to camp half blood and train. Make friends for yourself or ally's at least.
Rewards - 10 stat points, 5 bonus points, 1,000xp.
Failure - Your Death, Camp Half blood will burn. Your family will die.
Now that is a brutal failure so I best complete it. I need to make at least one friend there and train a bit so that I can complete this quest. Just got to find out where it is get there and complete this quest. Easy.
Maybe Chiron would have some information lying around about locations of camp half blood or something or knows where it is in general. I will have to research this as soon as I get my intelligence above 10 and wisdom so that I could properly work this out. Maybe using a map of America and find out what state its in or just google it though I have a feeling it wont appear.
Moving on I continued my day like normal except I was paying attention and learning what was going on and I got a some skills from it.
Basic Math - Lv 5(30%) Your ability to use maths.
I also acquired some sub skills involving maths such as.
Sub skills - Basic Maths
Algebra - Lv 1(90%) A tough type of math involving letters and sequences to work it out.
Fractions Lv 2(25%) Can use fractions to work out halves and other values using it.
Adding - LvMax(0%) You know how to count.
Subtracting - LvMax(0%) You know how to take away.
Percentages - Lv 3(90%) You understand the use of percentages.
Yeah I had three whole hours of maths with a small 15 minute break in there so been a hard day but I also got some rewards in my intelligence and wisdom.
Int- 12(-2)10
Wis-15(-2)13
I had levelled both my intelligence up by 7 and wisdom up by a 8 whole stat points. Gained loads of skills which will help me out in life and this was but a single day in to my new powers and I'm already 10 x smarter than before. Amazing right. Hard to believe well believe it people paying attention in maths I recommend if you are a gamer as it will help you the most in life.
But now I was currently waiting for Grover to finish falling asleep as I wished to train in my mana which regenerates really slow by the way. As in went through a few settings and found this informations.
Wisdom x 2 = Mana regeneration per minute
So my regeneration per minute was currently 30 as it goes of my base stat. Also finding my Health regeneration being.
End x 2 = Health regeneration per minute
So my health regeneration goes up by 14 per minute. which to be honest is better than nothing considering I don't have much health but still would take me a long time to heal so I need to start working out and using my mana today to hopefully decrease the effort it would take or create some new moves or improve upon my mana somehow.
Anyway the soft snore coming from Grover indicated he would be out for enough time for me to get some training done plus he sleeps like the dead.
Climbing out of bed I thought on what to improve upon first and decided I would work on my strength and then thought if I used my exo mana would it help me gain quicker or slow it down so activating mana exo suit as my mana drained by 400. After feeling it form I got in a push up position and proceeded to start doing my push ups. ... 26 ... 44 ...67...89...100
After doing 100 push ups and hearing a lot of pings I looked up to see something that shocked me as I didn't expect it to work so well.
Str- 12(6)18
End- 10(6)16
This shocked me at seeing how easy it had gone up giving me broken stats already. I love it. My health regen is now 32 per min so soon in less than a minute I will be able to fully heal but then again not much health.

Daily Reward
This happens once a day if you do not level up giving the user 1,000xp this will be the same amount throughout your life. Gained 1,000xp
Ping
You have levelled up (4) times.
Current experience is 100/500 till next level up.
You have gained 20 stat points and 20 bonus points.
My stats are so broken it is unreal my base stats are normal its the demi-god perk working with the chaotic gamer perk because at level 5 I am gaining plus 10 to all stats if I got level 20 I would have 20 base for demi-god and 20 base for chaotic giving me 40 stats on just them alone.
My health and mana had also gone up 50hp/mp each per level up so currently I an on.
Hp- 300/300 : Mp- 1200/1200
Now with my increased stats I figured to keep my points and sleep on what to do with them tomorrow. And I figured I would work on my mana then as well in a more secluded area as to not wake anyone up. Plus if I don't level up tomorrow then I gain another 1,000 experience which will help me level up at least almost twice I believe but if I get option to earn more then I would.
So with this final thought crossing my mind I simply crashed onto my bed darkness taking over my vision instantly.
