Death of Universe
I mentally pressed yes and I woke up and went to get ready for the day. I looked in the mirror and almost gasped I looked over myself and saw hundreds different scars, all in the places I remember and the white streak in my hair where I held up the sky so Artemis could fight Atlas. I smiled and almost let out a tear remember everything perfectly. I looked at some of the newer ones I received going through Tartarus and I let out a scream as I remembered the darkness of the pit and what I had to go through. I didn't realize it but I had been yelling loudly as the memories flew through my head. The monsters I tried to forget, every single tortured soul. I screamed and cried and heaved on the ground as it burnt physically, I held my head with my hands.
Then with one touch I was brought back to reality. I looked up and saw my old friend well, he was not the one I know but the king of South Leaves looking at me. He looked at me with sadness and said softly "Percy, you are ok, you are safe." I thanked him and sat up wiping my face and said "I am sorry about that. I have a photographic memory and when I saw the scars, I remembered every single damned thing in Tartarus."
I sniffled and he put a hand on my shoulder and said "I can smell the death on you, it is like an ocean, you must have killed millions, you must have fought so many evils. My gods. You... You are so scarred. " I smiled and said with some sarcasm and sadness "Thanks a lot for the reassurance death breath." He grinned and handed me my shirt and pants. I put them on and he said "Your welcome kelp head." I looked at him, laughed and said "You know in my world the girl you had a crush on called me that, you were too chicken to ask her out so you missed her then got mad at yourself."
We both walked out and I asked "How did you you get in here?" He said proudly "It's a secret." I grinned and asked "are you the only son of Hades who can shadow travel?" He frowned and said "Damn you other world dude that knows everything about me!" We laughed as we went down stairs. We ate and discussed who I was fighting in two hours.
It was twelve and I was ready for this battle. There were six other guys and seven girls. I decided I wanted to use my enchanted clothes and I didn't want to use riptide until my fight with the hunters s I walked out of my corner of the arena with just my enchanted clothes and my magic bow. I stepped out and heard the buzzer count down "5,4,3,2,1, GO!"
At that I notched an arrow and got into a defensive stance. There were six people fighting and it ended after about a minute. I counted in my head "that's eleven" then dodged left as I saw a throwing knife whiz past where my head was. I grinned and shot five blunt arrows at the brunette girl who threw it and each one connected with her helmet the last one ringing like a bell and nocking her out "There's ten." Four other people saw me and rushed me at once. I turned my bow side ways and shot four blunt arrows at each person. Three hit with a thud and the fighters crumpled in a heap, but one guy had dived and I noticed he had back biter and a dagger that looked exactly like I remembered the blonde having when he sacrificed his life to rid Olympus of Kronos. I let go of my bow spell and reared back my arm. I took the entire audience when like a bullet Luke's limp body flew through the air and collide with the other side of the arena.
"That's nine!" I shouted and went towards the unlucky eight other people. With no weapons I beat the other eight only taking five minutes. A buzzer sounded and the voice of a female came out of nowhere said "Percy Jackson, representative of Southern Leaves, will move on to fight the final six in two weeks!" I smiled breathing a little heavy and walked out of the arena, half of the audience booing half chanting "Percy, Percy, Percy!"
I walked out and was about to exit the back door when I was intercepted by Nico. "You did Amazing! I think we have a chance of winning." I laughed and said "Nico. I am going to get Artemis' blessing no matter what." He looked at me surprised and said "You might just be able to get it, but remember if you do you will be the first male ever to in history. One more thing, since there is a two week break I have to go back to Southern leaves and do king work until the day of the match so..." I nodded and said "I am fine, I found a job too I am an enchanter, the only on Lotus except my partner." He looked at me and laughed saying "You should definitely invest in some land or you will be so rich you won't be able to do anything with all of your money." I waved goodbye and put some thought into what he had said.
I teleported to Leo's shop to find it three times as busy. I grabbed two of Leo's notebooks from his hand when he noticed me and I used a spell I learned from his library. I finished the spell and time froze. I moved around and completed two thousand enchantments in .01 millisecond. When I was done I let go of time and everything unfroze. I moved the cart outside and called off numbers and My sixty year old boss looked at me and I said "A master magician can easily stop time Leo." I grinned and he looked at me and said "Holy Zeus!" I called out numbers and handed out the things I enchanted for three hours. When I was done Leo handed me the other half of his and I nodded.
In this world, to use magic you have to use mana, seeing as I am a Master magician I have about one hundred thousand mana. Every one minute of time I spend when I froze time takes up one hundred mana. So I used about twenty four thousand mana. I was easily capable to go longer but I didn't want to push myself until I can train more. So I did the next five hundred orders in two hours and took an hour to hand them all out. When we were done I looked at our impressive pile of silver and flashed us to the bank and handed our banker the silver I said "Good evening..." I realized I didn't know her name so I left off and she said "Elizabeth Mr. Jackson." I smiled and said "Well good evening Elizabeth." After two weeks of hard work enchanting, passing out enchanted items, collecting money, and practicing spells today was the last day of working with Leo and I checked my cash card and found I had 622 drachma and five silver in my account ($124,500,000) I smiled and sadly walked over to Leo and said "After I fight against the other six I have to beat the hunters and Artemis. Once I do I will go find my dad, this is goodbye for now." He grinned back and said "You should buy something with all that money, you could probably buy about one hundred miles of land with a tenth of what you have. I looked at him and said "Wait what?" He laughed and said "Percy, there are people in this city, a lot of them that don't see even a silver in their entire life. The average job pays nine aluminum a day." I looked at him shocked and I said "Gods... If I brought my drachma from my world..." He looked and me and said how many drachma do you have?" I replied "Thirteen thousand." He stopped and looked at me seriously and said "gods... If you brought that back you could buy the fifteenth continent once the gods win." He looked at me and paled "No don't actually think about it!" I laughed and hugged him saying goodbye to my friend.
two alerts popped up when I started to walk back to meet Nico at the inn. I pressed the first and it said
