Chapter 2: Kill the dungeon
Hello humans, I'm back with an upload, people who read it, some of you wrote some...interesting reviews, but I'll say this to you flamers "Sorry about it, I just don't give a fuck" So, yeah, anyway or those who might have calculated the skill, you would think that Grimm could kill Destaro easily, but when Grimm is in 1 percent mode, and is using his Shadow Fist, that also means his attacks are reduced to 1%. That means if his attack was 40,000,000. He's actually just doing 4000 damage, this makes the ability Grimm mode less OP which means monsters have a fighting chance and this makes Cedric more in agreement to use his own ability. But note, this is only when Grimm is in control, but Cedric is not at all used to his powers yet, so it'll be a long time before he can even use Grimm mode 3% properly, unless I make it so.Enough with my rambling, this isn't a discussion, this is an Author's note, so without further adu, my human petsON WITH THE STORY
Last time on Dragon Ball-I mean, Last time on Reaper of Hades
Cedric appeared back in his body; he looked around for the Minotaur but found nothing. Looking at the shocked face of everyone, he noticed a pile of gold sand right behind him at the corner of his eye. As soon as he turned back, the sand was just disappearing in the wind, and from the sand there were drops of objects, most likely rewards
But before he could do that, he saw a lot of notifications in his face. Concentrating on the boxes, what he saw did but also didn't surprise him.

Wait, What?! And then suddenly, without him realising, he fell into a heap on the ground, blacking out
Back to the Present
Samuel:
Samuel didn't know what to do, faint, stare as his best friend Cedric Deadnite just passed out, or run to him, helping him out, carrying him to their dorm room, then stare, then faint. The last option felt more reasonable, but the fact everyone was talking about seeing Coach Connors turn to a fake-Minotaur and then Cedric beating it, it seems that the mist was on the fritz, or that the students were all true-sighted-yeah right-but it seemed that the former sounded more realistic, but now, he had a white-haired boy to save.
Passing through a crowd of high-schoolers surrounding a place was a feat that even the most skilled athlete had trouble, and Sam wasn't even close to even being an athlete. After a while, he was able to get through when he saw them parting, like someone was walking behind him that deserved the utmost respect, admiration or fear. He turned back and saw no-one, strange.
Finally getting to Cedric, he picked him up, and with renewed speed and vigour, he rushed out of the exercise yard, into the gym, got to the hallway, got to the boy's dorm, got to his dorm room, literally threw Cedric to the bed, and then locked the door of the room, double checking their safety by re-locking it again.
"What the fuck did Chiron send me out here to protect? If anything he's a seasoned warrior all by himself" But Sam knew that was not true, he saw the eyes of Cedric before, during, and after the battle. They were not his normal red, almost black eyes that had a bit of uncaring-ness in them, but this one was Gold, with malice, hatred, boredom, and an evil so cold it chilled Sam right to the very core, those eyes seemed to know everything about him the moment they looked at him, he was really hoping that whatever Cedric had summoned, it wouldn't come back.
Lost in his own thought, Sam didn't know Cedric was awake till he heard rapid coughing, like that of a dry man who had only had a minute of life if no water came to him. Not waiting for a second, he grabbed a glass and filled it with water from a dispenser machine, and forcefully downed it right at Cedric's throat. Cedric hacked and coughed normal for a person who had just passed out. His eyes fluttered open, no more the dangerous gold, but were now the mesmerizing red that he was comfortable with, no matter how gay the sentence sounded.
"Sam? Did I pass out?" Cedric said after a few moments of coughing-his voice throaty due to him coughing moments ago- and looked at Sam with a mix of calm and confusion that actually looked amusing on the pale-haired boy.
"No, you made Coach Connors turn to a Minotaur, your eyes turned gold, a scythe which then turned to a sword came out of nowhere and killed said Coach, and only then did you pass out" Sam snorted in a goat-like manner, a thing Satyrs could get away with because, they were Satyrs.
"Nice joke there Autumn Boy" Sam chortled, just because his hair looked suspiciously like autumn leaves didn't make him a seasonal boy. "Shut up winter head" "Short stack" Sam winced, Sam was around 5'10, so compared to Cedric who was younger, taller, stronger, faster, but unsurprisingly not wiser.
"You win this round Cedric Deadnite, but I, Samuel Wick, will win one day" Cedric smirked, not the kind of smirk you'd like to see on a normally composed boy like Cedric, but he paid no heed to it.
Cedric:
Cedric looked at Sam as he said those words of revenge, he just smirked, and he was now concentrating on the box that was right in front of him
You have gained 100 levels in the skill 'Martial art fighting style: Shadow Fist'

You have gained the sub-skill of 'Shadow Manipulation'. It is called 'Shadow Tendrils'. Due to holding and restricting enormous weight, 'Shadow Tendrils' has levelled up 70 times
A lot of things in life wouldn't have made Cedric happier, he then noticed how fatigued he felt, the world was now moving at a normal rate, well slower than he was used to, but quick enough that he could have a normal conversation with Sam. Checking his stats, he realised why, he had lost 'Grimm Mode 1%' that's why.

Now his stat sheet felt weak, he felt he had just gotten a withdrawal to some good cocaine, and the supply was gone, he didn't like the withdrawal. Now he knew how cocaine addicts felt. Taking a look at his Stat sheet, he paled, he felt extremely weak compared to the time he had a million Mana!!! A million!!! But now, he has just this.

Oh believe him, he was still strong compared to the humans-mortals, the name he had to call them-and that meant that he was definitely not normal. Checking his skill, all the despair of being weak left him at that short moment.

Cedric grinned at the Shadow Manipulation. This skill had a lot of incentive, with enough training; he would not be a virgin and have thousands of women as a harem! The possibilities are endless!! Threesomes! Foursomes!! Heck, there could be an orgy!!
'And here I thought my vessel was not even sexually activated. He is, what a relief' 2 things happened. A) Cedric flipped him the bird then smirked, and. B) Grimm's couch appeared 200 feet in the air, and then disappeared. Grimm landed on his face. 'Fuck!!!'
He then slowly looked at Sam, who was looking at him blankly. Oh, yeah. He almost forgot about the life form. He opened his mouth, wishing to say something, but something above Sam's head made him stop, and keep his mouth open in wonder.
Name: Samuel
Age: 36 years
Race: Satyr
Satyrs?! As in half man-half goats things that are that are basically Pan's secretaries?! That's impossible, where's the goat feet that a Satyr was known for? Cedric didn't understand, and when in doubt, use 'Observe'
Name: SamuelAge: 36 yearsRace: SatyrLevel: 40HP: 100,000/100,000MP: 3,000/3,000STR: 30VIT: 40INT: 45WIS: 39DEX: 30AGI: 20LUC: 40CHAR: 20Bio: Sam is a Satyr, he works at camp Half-blood. He is friends with one Grover, another Satyr, and Cedric Deadnite, a kid who is in Crew Academy; he has been tasked to protect Cedric believing Cedric is a demi-god, which has been piqued as Cedric just beat up a Minotaur. He is a nice guy at heart and he would protect those who he thinks as loved ones with his lifeLikes: Pizza, the colour Red, cheese enchiladasDislikes: Meat, monsters, undergroundOpinion towards You: He is currently confused at why you are looking dazed and unfocused
'What's a camp Half-blood? Is that a place for demi-gods like me? I think so. Why am I so calm about Sam being a Satyr? I think this is how Gamers Mind works. This is both useful and dangerous' Cedric thought. Worried that he might seem like he didn't acknowledge Sam; he turned to the half-man-half-goat, his eyes looking business-like, no mood for playing, he was all serious now "Why didn't you tell me you were a Satyr Sam? I thought we could tell each other everything" Sam just had the decency to looked shock at his cold voice. Then seeing as how, Cedric is serious, he knew this wasn't a joking matter.
'It seems he know that I'm a Satyr, but how?' "How did you find out?" Sam asked, confusion in his voice as he wondered whether Cedric would hate or resent him. If that happened, he would never live it down.
"I feel something non-human about you, something...animalistic. I figured you to be a centaur but then I realised it is impossible to hide those kind. You studied Greek Mythology and you were very excited when nature was in a word or something good was said about it. You are a vegetarian. When you sleep, you tend to make a noise erringly similar to a goat bleating. So hitting all those conclusions at once and theorising you were not human. I believe you are a Satyr. Judging by your momentaringly shocked expression, I theorise I am right? Am I not?" Cedric said, his eyes narrowing in a way that said silently 'You better confess or else' Nodding slightly, Cedric's gaze turned to one of boredom and apathetic interest.
"Yes. Now is time for you to answer my question" Sam said, his eyes trying to imitate a lack of confusion but he was failing terribly by the amused expression in Cedric's eyes "Are you a demigod? If so, do you know your father? How did you learn how to beat that Minotaur? Why did your eye turn gold when you fought said Minotaur?" Sam said, before taking a huge breath.
Cedric wanted to say "Yes. My father is Hades. I called on a spiritual entity of unknown power to help. That was because he had to take control of my body, so his-my- eyes turned gold" But Grimm made him stop 'Only tell him if you're a demi-god. People won't like it if you're Hades' son, most living creatures will hate and despise you default for that. And there's also the added incentive that the other Gods would want your head on a pike. Mostly Zeus. Especially Zeus. Same thing with telling him about me. The Gods have eyes and ears everywhere, so if you say anything, you are as good as dead. Because they will stop at nothing until you're wiped from existence.' shivered inwardly. That would not be on his to-do list. Focusing his attention back to Sam, he said in a cool voice that helped him portray he was telling the truth "I am a demi-god, pretty easy to see that huh? No, I don't know my dad, because if I did, I'll most likely tear out his balls and burn it to ashes then feed it to him-" (Somewhere else, Hades felt like he had just unleashed a force worse than his general; Death) "-and then maybe I'll think of thinking of thinking of thinking of forgiving him. Also, what do you mean beat the Minotaur, all I remember was saying its name, blinking, and then boom, I'm in the dorm. Gold eyes? I've heard red with rage but not gold with badassery"
Sam nodded, feeling a deep sense that the 14 year old is telling the truth "So you don't remember anything?" Cedric mentally breathed a sigh of relief, Gamers Mind for the win.
"Nothing. Did I miss an orgy? If so, then I am sorrowful" Sam blushed at the younger boy's words, before clearing his throat at the boy
"Cedric, you're in grave danger. That Minotaur was only the first of many; there will be more foes after you. Each one much stronger than the last. There is a place to train people like you-yes there are others like you- called Camp Half-blood. If you allow me to escort you there, you will be trained vigorously. But be warned, as a demi-god, the chances your life will be happy are slim. You might never have the chance to reach old age. You will be leaving your family, loved ones, and comrades behind. This is not for the faint of heart, but if you do this, you will not die knowing that you could've survived longer. So tell me Cedric Deadnite, do you want to go to Camp Half-blood?" Sam said, his eyes sober and remorseful, practically begging Cedric to come.
"My chances to being happy are slim? Who cares? I'm leaving my family behind? My family was always shitty so ok. Not for the faint of heart? Dude, I survived insulting Coach Connors, don't tell me that my heart is faint. And for that I'll never reach old age? Fate hasn't met me before, or else they'd change that declaration. I'm in." Cedric said, his voice as calm as a sleeping baby. In truth, with the power he had, he could live forever. Sam said a quick 'Awesome' before packing up his things in his bag-which would give him time to set himself-but he wondered why he was packing.
"If you're wondering why I'm packing. This school saw through the entire ordeal, so we have to leave this school so as monsters will avoid this place and keep the mortals safe" Well, that answered his question in a nutshell. Cedric started to pack as well, quickly packing his stuff-he didn't bring much-and then walked over to the door. Reaching to open it, the door opened on its own revealing a frightened Mandy. Cedric lost his balance there and fell into her, one of his hands-or both, he realised-on her boobs.
'Well, at least she isn't flat' Cedric smirked at Mandy who looked miffed but otherwise kept her composure. Getting off from her, Mandy noticed the bag that was beside Cedric; his luggage. Tilting her head in a confused manner, she asked Cedric in a high-pitched voice that sounded both cute and sultry-as much as it can to the ears of a teenage boy high on hormones anyway-"What are you doing Cedric? School isn't over until tomorrow" She said in a matter-of-fact tone. He got a bit annoyed at her poking into his business but he had to be as smart and tactical as possible.
"Yes but, me and Sam have to leave. We got word from the Principal Brown that I have to leave the school premises. Sam got angry about how unfair it is, so he was expelled to" Said Cedric with a robotic tone that frightened the daylights out of Sam and Mandy. To seal the deal, Cedric pointed at the Satyr's bag before saying to her still in a robotic tone "We will be going immediately, so I would really appreciate it if you would just leave me and Sam to pack so you can find a new boyfriend, or a new sucker to seduce until you break his heart by dumping him. So, in the words of Porky the Pig 'P-P-P-P-P-P-P-Piss of Mandy'" Cedric said before walking past her calmly, before exiting the school through the receptionist door-who coincidentally Cedric had to bribe by letting her suck his cock; lucky him, but Sam just fainted when she said it-and getting a taxi for him and Sam to drive. Sam and Cedric were just in comfortable silence the whole ride to wherever the fuck they were going to.
"So where are we going? Where is this camp located?" Said Cedric; his eyes distant and dazed, like a half-asleep man. It wasn't new for Cedric to look like that, but this time, he looked sad-his eyes were slightly watery-and he also looked like he was dying at the same time. Sam thought it was the stress of killing a monster, leaving his girlfriend and the academy. Not to mention his family...He couldn't be farther from the truth
Meanwhile, in the mind of one Cedric Deadnite:
'Noooooooo!!!!!!!! All those perks that could give me so much power, yet so out of reach!!!!!!!' Cedric was currently checking the perks list, the perks had so many advantages, but the XP/Money needed is just too much!!!! One in particular though...
Perks list:
Blessing of Hades: You have the power to bend the earth to your will, to raise the dead, to control the demons, to talk to souls. You will be nigh unbeatable in the ability to control darkness and the dark flames of the underworld.
Effect: Some monsters will not want to harm you and those you are associated with. Your Shadow Manipulation will reach LVL 1000 (You will be able to create the world in nothing but darkness)You will unlock Fire manipulation at LVL 2000 (You could literally make fire hot enough to turn the river Styx to the Steam Styx)
Cost: (Note: this power is extremely useful, so keep that in mind. This is also a warning to the amount. Brace yourself) 1,000,000,000XP and 40 trillion Dollars
His body spasmed for so long that he was sure that Sam would surely notice. The cost was too high for him to manage. Firstly, how will he share XP? He tapped on the perk again, and something interesting happened
Do you want to invest 50% of your XP to the 'Blessing Of Hades' perk. It will be automatically deducted from your quest and/or kills. Do you want to invest? YES/NO
He immediately pressed yes. This could hinder his growth, but by the time he gets the perk, that could make him definitely unstoppable. Looking over to Sam, he asked, "Where are we going?" his eyes looking bored, when he had all the right to be excited.
"We're going to Half-blood Hill, Long Island, New York." Sam whispered, trying not to give the cab driver any suspiscion that they are demi-gods, well, at least one of them were. Nodding at that, he turned his head to the scenery. Closing his eyes for a bit, for what felt like a second, Sam tapped Cedric, in which he immediately woke up. "He's at his limit, he can take us only this far. We'll have to walk there" Cedric gave no form of acknowledgement. He just walked out the cab, and started to walk towards the hill that looked the highest.
Sam rushed over to follow the 15 year old surprised he was going the right direction. Minutes getting to the hill, they heard a deafening roar that shook both of them. Regaining their balance, they focused on the base-closer to the middle actually-and saw a much more beefed up version of Destaro. Cedric tried to observe it but it didn't work. He theorised he had to level up to get longer distances.
"We have to stop that Minotaur, people are running from it, look." Sam pointed closer to the top and he saw a kid who was definitely a couple years younger than him, a Satyr with curly hair, and a woman. Rushing towards the Minotaur, Cedric got behind and summoned some tendrils at it, grabbing the legs. The beast turned to check upon the annoyance and saw some dark tendrils on its legs. Huffing out smoke, the beast continued walking as the tendrils strained to hold them together, then snapped.
'The tendrils are able to hold 1000 lbs!! What is that thing?' Realising he was finally in a short range, Cedric used observe for it, and well, the results were useless

Bio: The Minotaur is a monster with the head and hind legs of a bull, but the body and musculature of a man. This is a very rare monster, and if it's after you, you must be the son of a very important God/Goddess.
Likes: Demi-god flesh, The Underworld.
Dislikes: Demi-gods, Red.
Opinion Towards You: You're a bug in him tasting some good Demi-god
Mood: Hungry and very very very very Angry
Cedric gulped in fear at the literal monster that could easily crush him. He was panicking on what to do as the monster gazed upon him, the sound of Sam screaming, and him staring at the confused faces of the unknown people; before a sense of calm washed over him and suddenly his mid was thinking of multiple tactics o kill the Minotaur. 'Ok, let's see. I could use hand to hand combat, but it'll be too fast for me. I could make the shadows make a protective barrier as I hit it. Or I could use Grimm mode-no, I don't want to get reliant. I'll use my own power' Cedric internally agreed with his tactic. Looking at the beast defiantly, he muttered 'Shadow Fist' and then Cedric was put into a position he never imagined.
His body shifted sideways as his left arm was put 43 degrees away from his chest by at least 13 inches, and his right hand was positioned at his mid-section. His hands were in an open palm but his third and pinky finger were closed in a way that was slightly apart from his palm, while his index, middle, and thumb were positioned in a claw form. His right leg was forward, while his left leg was 1.3 feet apart from his right leg.
Moving at a speed he was not used to gave him a bit of tunnel vision, but he was able to see the movement of the Minotaur. Striking the left knee of the Minotaur, the beast howled in pain as it then smacked him away. Tumbling to the unknown group, he balanced himself, before turning to them, "Can any of you fight in any way, I'll need a hand" He asked them in his normally calm tone. The woman stepped up, to which he nodded, not bothering to check her level as he focused on the damage he took from that hit
-37,790HP: 340,110/377,900
He winced, 10% of his HP gone in a single hit, and he had only taken about...he doesn't even know. He used 'Observe' on the Minotaur and he was astonished
HP: 999,985,375/?
Okay, it wasn't much in damage, but if he added Mana to his attacks, that would be insane. He thought up his 'Shadow Fist' skill, and he was surprised
Shadow Fist LVL 101: You just learned how to throw quick and non-straightforward punches that pack a punch with the right strength. This is a physical skill, therefore it requires no Mana, but adding Mana to the attacks will increase its damage output.
Damage: 14,625 per hit (25 each level; multiplied by 1 for each 5 points in STR)
Mana Damage Output: 14,625 X Mana
If that was the case then why doesn't he just focus all his Mana into an attack...he hasn't done that before, so why the hell not. Focusing all his Mana, he barked an order to the woman "Keep him busy while I charge a fatal attack" The woman nodded, running to the Minotaur, putting all his Mana into a fist
MP: 0/672,900
He was absently aware of the woman being turned to a pillar of bright yellow light after getting grabbed by the Minotaur. He felt a pang of sadness at the scream of the kid as he shouted "NOOO!!!!!!!" and the sniffles he heard. He ran at the beast with speeds that he could not track, and then threw the punch at the only place that Cedric could think that could land a critical blow...the balls and dick that were covered by a pair of underpants. He cringed as he saw the damage count and as the monster slowly crumpled to dust.
Critical damage done by 'Shadow Fist' and imbued in Mana. Calculating...-19,828,575,000 to Minotaur's health.
Cedric looked over to the kid who was kneeling on the hard grass, sobbing. He felt a twinge of sadness as he saw the other Satyr comforting the boy, as the boy's eyes rolled to the back of his head and promptly fainted. Cedric felt black spots in his eyes as he quickly said to the other Satyr "Take the rewards and give them to me when I wake up, and then please help carry me and the other kid to the Half-blood hill-" as he also crumpled to a heap and passed out.
Some hours later:
You have slept in a bed. 50% of your health and Mana restored. Debuffs removed.
Cedric opened his eyes to be greeted with that notification. Looking at the bed he slept on, it was an average queen sized bed, the only problem was that it was made of hay-surprisingly soft hay but still-and the wooden frame was a blessed Mahogany. He saw himself in a barn like area, as big as the school he was once in. He heard footsteps coming and out stepped a blond haired girl with silver eyes that held vast intelligence and curiosity in them. He used 'Observe'-This is becoming a habit now- and got some surprising results

Bio: Annabeth Chase is the daughter of Frederick Chase an Athena; Goddess of wisdom, crafts, cleverness, tactics etc. She is a Demi-god that is currently in her fourth year in the camp. She ran away from her home and made friends with two Demi-gods: Luke and Thalia. She remembers Thalia sacrificing her life to protect Luke and her, and she promised herself never to be weak
Likes: Knowledge, books, camp Half-blood, Luke
Dislikes: Monsters, not knowing anything, Zeus, Hera, Hades.
Opinion Towards You: She is in awe at how you killed a Minotaur with no training whatsoever, and slightly has a crush on your looks (Not you; Your Looks)
Mood: Surprised. Nervous. Giddy.
Cedric coughed slightly, garnering he attention of Annabeth as she was looking at the other boy there. He had see-green eyes that almost looked dark, black hair, a high cheekbone that makes him look both like a child, and an old trouble maker. "So you're awake? I didn't expect you to wake up only after two days" Cedric nodded, sitting straight up as he stared into the girl's silver eyes.
"Yeah, I heal fast. What happened to Sam? Is he and the other Satyr ok?" Cedric said calmly, his eyes never leaving her body, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable to his stare
"You're taking the news that you're a Demi-god a bit too well. And yes, they are fine" She added quickly, answering his question before his eyes looked away at her making said girl breath an inward sigh of relief
Cedric shrugged, "I'm very calm with nearly everything because of my very broad imagination, so I really just gave up on thinking logically and just embraced it" Annabeth giggled at his last comment. A ghost of a smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Like now, I can say that you are a daughter of Athena"
She tensed slightly, her eyes widening a slight amount in both surprise "How do you know?" She drew a dagger out of nowhere and pointed it at Cedric
"Hey, calm down. I only know that because of your eyes. They carry a certain intelligence and wisdom in them, and a cleverness and curiosity that is staggering. Also the fact that you just told me now" Annabeth snorted, withdrawing her sword and placing it back to her hip. "Say, I don't know your name. What is your name then Wise Girl?" Annabeth groaned
"If I tell you, will you stop calling me Wise Girl?" Cedric shrugged in a 'Maybe' fashion that left Annabeth's left eye twitching "It's Annabeth Chase" She ground out. He nodded before he jumped out from the 'bed' and walked over to her
"Well then since you're here and I need to know this place, can you please give me a tour of this camp, Miss Blondie?" Annabeth's hand was slowly reaching for her dagger as her eye twitched repeatedly, the budding crush gone in an instant.
After giving him a tour of the camp: The training ground, the campfire, the 12 major gods cabin, the minor gods cabin, and so on and so forth. He was shifted into the Hermes Cabin as he didn't know his Godly parent-info given by Sam-and he was bid goodbye by the blonde haired girl. Looking at the Hermes Cabin, he saw a rowdy place for the mischievous, relentless and the fidgety. He shook his head before snagging a bed, and keeping a horn that he found beside the hay bed. Relaxing slightly, he took note of the notification bar that blinded his peripheral vision

He nodded to his stats as he remembered how he beat the beast and as how that woman saved them all by sacrificing her life. He didn't even get her name, she just saved them. He was eternally grateful for her sacrifice 'She's not dead. She was a mortal. She would have blood and gore splattered everywhere. It's either Hades took her hostage or...just that Hades took her hostage' Cedric nodded at Grimm's knowledge, she wasn't a monster so she would have died the normal way.
"Well, I guess I should go meet the headmaster of this place; I think his name was Chiron" Cedric muttered to himself before leaving the Hermes Cabin unnoticed.

1% chance of getting found
1% chance of Critical strike
Cedric's eyes twitched repeatedly as he made his way to the headmaster...which he didn't know where the fuck he was at the moment. Asking for directions and a picture of how the guy-well Centaur now that he knows-looked like, he was able to see a middle-aged man in a tweed jacket, with thinning brown hair, and a scraggly brown beard that had streaks of gray in it at as he was sitting at the end of a porch
Chiron, Trainer Of Heroes
LVL: ?
He was looking at Chiron, the trainer of heroes. But wasn't Chiron a Pegasus? But this man was on a wheelchair. Turning his head to Cedric, the man smiled at patted on a seat near a Man that was small, but porky. He had curly black hair that looked akin to purple, and a red nose. He wore a tiger-striped Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts and was currently playing a game of cards.
Dionysus, God Of Wine.
LVL: ?
'An actual God huh? What should we do when he decides to turn me mad?' He shook his head from those thoughts and walked over to Chiron seating down on the chair, he politely greeted the god "Good morning Mr. Chiron. Good day Dionysus" Immediately their eyes-well Chiron's eyes-turned from friendly to hostile in a millisecond and a deadly pressure was felt by Cedric
Ping! You have gained the skill 'Detect bloodlust'. Due to the amount of bloodlust in the area, you skill is now level 20

50% chance of withstanding high level bloodlust
Warning! Bloodlust detected! From those two THINGS in front of you!!! Run bitch run!!!!!
Cedric was in absolute fear, but his calm face showed nothing of the sort as they simultaneously asked him "How do you know my name?" Cedric smirked as he activated Grimm mode and watched as the two's bloodlust wavered for a moment as they saw the now black hair and golden evil eyes of Cedric.
He decided to copy what they did to him and the results went both ways "Will you stop with your anger and realise that it's pitiful. I know you Chiron because I asked the campers, and I also know Dionysus from an ability of mine I will tell you entities if you will calm down" Cedric said as he absent-mindedly heard the ping sound of a new skill. He immediately willed it to close as he saw as Dionysus snapped his finger as Cedric felt a force on his mind
A mind-crushing will determined to make you mad has been seen and negated by Gamers Mind
"Madness doesn't work on me Dionysus" Cedric said as the god of wine finally gave up and gave an angry gaze to the black haired boy. Cedric's hair and eyes turned normal as all hostile action was halted
"Now kid, can you explain how you know me?" Cedric chuckled, already making an excuse instead of telling them the Gamer ability. Being a Demi-god is one thing, but your life became a game is a whole other ball game
"Well it's because I can kind of sense you. You have a feeling of power in you, also the free-flowing smell of wine. And the fact you tried to make me go insane proves you are the God Dionysus, as only a god can exhibit such power"
You have gained a new skill 'Lying' through lying repeatedly

-95% chance if the lie is unbelievable

Oh, this was a skill that Cedric could grind. He lies on a daily basis, also the fact that he had a completionist habit to make anything with a percentage immediately into 100%. "I see. Well then, welcome to Camp Half-blood. Where the Demi-gods live, this is a place to train demigods to protect themselves from monsters, the longer you serve in here, the more prepared you are to face the outside world" Said Chiron. Dionysus shrugged at the demigod and continued to be interested in a game of...is that pinochle? Whatever.
"Thank you elder Chiron, but I would like to tell you heritage, but my father isn't well liked among...basically everything if I'm correct" Chiron and Dionysus-who stopped looking at the cards-narrowed their eyes at the statement. Urging him to go forward, Cedric sighed. They weren't going to like this. "My father is Hades. Ruler of the underworld. Master of shadows. Raiser of monsters." Chiron and Dionysus looked shocked at his words.
"I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT!!!!" Dionysus roared, his voice gathering the attention of the campers
"I am sceptical as well" Chiron said calmly, cold fury in his eyes as he looked at Cedric. Cedric knew he had to make them believe him. Channelling a lot of Mana, he dragged the shadows of everyone as a ball of shadows surrounded Cedric. It then exploded outwards as the souls of every camper was given back to them, including Chiron. Chiron immediately got a chill of his back as he felt his shadow become heavier, a weight he never acknowledged now became a weight he consciously felt now. Only a child of Hades could phantom enough power to try that. Cedric panted as he went down on one knee as he checked the amount of Mana he used
MP: 201,900/735,400
Cedric's eyes widened. He used five hundred thousand Mana for that?! 'Note to self: Never try to take the shadows of many people at once' Cedric wondered if his Mana Regen could keep up.
Mana Regen: 4,166.7 Per second
Okay it could. "Are you okay, Cedric?" Cedric waved it off with the generic "Yeah I'm fine" "So you are the son of Hades," as soon as he said that a Purple Skull-like helmet with spikes on the top of its head appeared atop Cedric's head.
"What is that?" Cedric asked as he discreetly used 'Observe' on it
Symbol of claiming: Hades.
This thing is a symbol that Hades uses to claim his children when the camp or some camp members are aware of your parentage. Good luck kid, you're famous now!!!!
Cedric didn't outwardly react, hell, he didn't react at all. He was eeringly calm. Thank you Gamers Mind. "You have been claimed as a son of Hades" Cedric just stared blankly before he fully heard and understood
"I see, well that would explain the fact I love darkness, I sleep pale, don't like people, and I'm extremely handsome"
"Damn right you are" A pretty girl called out as most girls started to make cat-calls at him. Surprisingly Cedric jut turned to Chiron with apathy in his eyes
"Do you have a cabin for Hades? Is it hidden?"
"Sorry. But we don't have" Chiron said uncomfortably at the son of Hades. Cedric sighed, getting used to the bigotry given to him because of Hades. He didn't really get annoyed by it, but that doesn't mean he liked it.
"Understandable, Hades was hated by most, and you didn't have the precognition to just make an honorary cabin to let the camp know that death is everywhere, sobering them a bit. You didn't have the idea, right?" Cedric said coldly, his eyes narrowing dangerously and the shadows around the trees started to spasm wildly. The grass around Cedric turned black, and an aura of evil surrounded the camp. Sam-who was part of the crowd-grabbed his shoulder, causing the white haired boy to calm down. He looked at the other Demigods who were cowering in slight fear at his anger, and the other demigods who didn't gather gathered, including Annabeth as she looked at him with a fearful and somewhat hateful gaze
'Fool!! You told them, Zeus will want you dead!! You won't like this at all you foolish boy' 'I know Grimm, but the fact is that if I hide this from them; when I actually unleash it, they might get tense and will act worse than this' Grimm said nothing, Cedric figured that Grimm agreed. Cedric shook his head "So what? Where am I going to stay? Will I sleep outside? Will I sleep in the Big House? Well you tell me later, I'm going to the forest" Cedric walked off to the forest as he heard the voice of Annabeth calling out his name, but he just tuned her out.
Walking to a tree, he realised that he hadn't gained the most useful skill in the world of Gaming. ID create and ID escape. He focused on the tree and the bush beside it, and a box appeared
You have found a Dungeon. Do you want to enter? LVL- 36 YES/NO
Cedric grinned, this is what he needed right now to vent his anger. He pressed yes as he entered the bush, instead of more grass, he looked at a room that was surrounded in black walls. Skulls were rested on pedestals, the skulls were also on fire. The walkway was caked in blood, and limbs were located randomly around it. "Well, this is gory" He commented absently as he walked forward. As he went on his way he found a skeleton. It had black bones, it's skull was spiked, and it was wearing black Greek armour
Undead SkeletonLVL- 20
HP: 10,100/10,100
This thing is a soul that has been cursed by Hades to never leave its body, even for a hundred years. This things are known to fight alone, but some might be seen in groups. It has a shadow immunity as the damaged is reduced by 67%
Kill to Gain: 1,000 XP
The skeleton in question turned its empty eye sockets towards the spawn of Hades. Cedric smirked, this might be interesting. Cedric sped towards the skeleton, raising his hands as he swung it down at the armour. The armour didn't budge as Cedric was hit with a sting of pain in his fist. The skeleton swung at him, Cedric rolled to the side but got a nick on his bicep
HP: 480,000/481,900
That cut dealt about 1,900 points of damage. He winced at the cut but there was no flow of blood. Thank you Gamers Body. Cedric looked at the enemy who was rushing towards his downed position. Doing a springboard recovery, he was able to hit the skeleton on the jaw sending the skeleton back a bit. The skeleton regained his balance and then ran forward swinging his sword downwards at Cedric. Cedric dodged the attack by the skeleton as his mind was now running a mile a minute 'I could create a shadow construct for a weapon-no, I will not affect the skeleton to a high extent, and I think I have an idea' Cedric flowed his Mana to his bones, thinking of elongating it, using Mana to open the skin. In a moment, a bone appeared in Cedric's hand. It was a white, crude and sharp with the base thinner than the rest making it look suspiscuously like a handle for a sword
Ping! You have gained the skill 'Bone Manipulation

Cedric dodged an attack that was aimed for his shoulder by rolling to the side, blade still in hand. Wildly swinging the skeleton, he managed to get a lucky swing where he was able to cleave the head off
Ping! You have gained 1,000 XP!!
Cedric saw the skeleton slowly turn to dust and fade. In its absence, were a wad of cash, a bunch of silver coins and black armour. Setting that aside he observed the sword he held to kill the skeleton and got a healthy dose of info.
Crude Bone Sword: This sword was created from the bone of one Cedric Deadnite. It had been crudely and hurriedly made and has a fair bit of durability (Iron Density)
Attack- 1,000 (500 due to bone potential
Durability: 500/500
Cedric smiled at his first creation fondly before he remembered something. He remembered Grimm using a scythe last time he faced Destaro Amatrinos. 'Grimm, can you please tell me where that awesome weapon of yours is?' asked Cedric in his mind to one Grimm Reaper.
'Kid, you know gaming, how do you not know or at least theorise it's in your fucking inventory? Or are you just dumb' Cedric blushed in embarrassment before he chuckled, but before he checked his inventory, he walked over to the armour then looked at it; Observing it out of reflex.
Armour of Shadow (Rookie)This armour is made by the shadow of a weak monster, therefore very little power. Shadow armour is made by using the Mana surrounding the person, in extent their shadow, in a way to make armour
Durability: 1,000/1,000
It has a black chestpiece that kept flickering in the light. The shoulder blades were filled with spikes and he saw a black liquid that looked like tar. He looked at the liquid, using observe at the liquid.
Shadow Poison.This gives a toxic poison that makes whoever is pierced by it very weak to shadow attacks and attacks that exudes some form of light. This poison was touched by a child of Nyx-the goddess of Night-making it extremely potent
When cut:350% more damage when hit with Shadow, light, fire, lightning attacks
10% Max HP every 30 seconds
-350% damage when using Shadow, light, fire, lightning attacks
Cure: The blood of a Minotaur
Cedric giggled, he actually giggled. This was a poison that deemed itself worthy of using. Wearing the armour, Cedric found a somewhat heaviness to his body that he had never had, like he had gained some few extra pounds. Shrugging, he picked up the cash and the silver coin which he now realised were drachma as he continued forward, his one thought being 'Time for some good ol' fashioned grinding'
Some hours Later:
Ping! You have gained 7,000,000 XP!! You have levelled up!!
Cedric grinned at the bloody place that now had a lot of dust as he had just found an army of Undead skeletons and basically massacred 5,000 Undead. Smirking as he collected the cash, he had these things in his inventory.
350,000$
3,500 Drachma
30 Black armour
10 Shadow Spears
5 Shadow Knives
Cedric also found the scythe of Grimm, and what he got using 'Observe' were...scary to say the least
Scythe of Grimm
This is the scythe of one Grimm Reaper. This weapon is by far one of the most powerful weapons in multi-versal existence.
1000% HP and MP when held by Grimm or the vessel who has been accepted by Grimm
30% to Shadow Manipulation
40% to Shadow Blade Form
Damage (Hindered by not fulfilling the requirements): 7,000
Cedric was startled by the power of the blade, as he picked up the last wad of 50$, an alert came
Warning! A major enemy has appeared!!!
Cedric's eyes widened as he saw a black tear in the already dark place. It was 6'0 tall, will lean muscles, but it was holding a large greatsword with one hand. It was a skeleton, that had a bit of muscle on its face, not skin, muscles, the red tendon things in the body, it had blue beady eyes. It was wearing black Greek armour, wth some kinfd of plates covering it. It was wearing nothing besides from black tattered jeans. The title on its head really didn't make the name any worse
Undead PunisherLVL- 70
This being only appears when some of its prisoners have been killed in a massive amount. This being is considered very good in battling with the sword. Run if you can against this Punisher, as you might join the soul it jails
Kill to Gain- 100,000 XP
Cedric basically smiled, this gave him the time to get a good opponent, he should be scared, but he was estatic, a monster that powerful. Raising the scythe, he turne it into sword mode, before going to the Shadow Blade Form
The form was him shifting his legs apart by 19 inches, raising his blade tip 15 inches away from his face, him holding the handle by the side, as he felt the sword grow colder. He waited, and then...the Punisher attacked him, rushing forward with a speed that even he couldn't follow, the Punisher hit him with the flat of the greatsword. He pat out blood, as he felt himself get hit with massive force
319,237/425,650
That thing took 25% in one hit! He had to be very cautious. Now smirking, he saw the being move towards him, albeit slower than before, he was able to dodge and slash it by the sides. He ignored the notification as he was focused on destroying this Punisher. The Punisher-who he will now call Don-turned around before it hit him with a massive backhand. He flew backwards before he back flipped mid-air as he righted himself on the ground. He had to fight smart, he had to fight safe. A light bulb could have gone off in Cedric's head as he bent backwards as Don was flying-literally-towards Cedric. Doing a slow hand back flip, he hit the punisher on the jaw as it acquainted itself with the black ground.
Jumping away from Don, he summoned some shadow tendrils to hold it intact. Looking at the shadow of the torches, he shaped the shadow into a sword as he jabbed it into the stomach of the Punisher. The sword impacted the armour with a sharp 'Pang!!!' as he saw Don standing upright once more as it jumped backwards before it did something strange, it threw his greatsword. Not ready for the attack, he shifted to the side, but it was impaled into his left shoulder, as the shear speed and force flew him to a wall. Don walked over to Cedric, before Don removed it. Cedric screamed in pain as Don raised his sword up ready to end it.
Cedric manipulated the shadows to form a shield in front of him. Thickening another section of shadows, he flowed the shadows into the bleeding shoulder. Using the shadows to stitch it, he felt a river of energy enter him as he dodged the overhead attack, he kicked Don's leg, making the Punisher fall; in a feat of speed, he grabbed his sword, before raising it down, slicing the torso of Don.
Cedric sighed as he saw the Punisher turn to dust. He rested on the bloody wall, not caring about the loot it dropped. He was more worried of how he was here, slowly dying. The shadows in his arm was helping him patch up, but it wasn't enough. Wheezing out blood, he looked at his shoulder and wondered 'I know the shadows can make structures and constructs, but could it mean...' Cedric groaned as he passed the shadows skilfully to his cut blood vessels. Creating a tube that would replace the vessel took him several agonizing minutes as he finally got the thing to finally work.
His whole body shook as he felt the vessel do their job, but he felt something change. The blood that he knew was normally warm felt a lot colder, a lot...more malevolent, he didn't know, but he felt something different in hs body. Cedric screamed his pain because his body feltlike it was being drained like a raisin, like he was losing bodily fluids. Then as quickly as it came, itwent, he felt his whole body get rejuvenated, he felt much more powerful. He looked at his shoulder and saw that in place of skin, was a black mass of...something, whch he was sure was his new skin. Then he was shocked to see that his hand had also gained that same quality.
Ping!! You have gained a manually made perk!!!
Touched by the Darkness: You have become part of the beings of shadows (Partially) and have made yourself much more powerful than before. You have lost your red blood and you shall bleed the blood of the shadows: Black blood. You can make constructs with the part of your body that has been Touched by The Darkness. NOTE: BE WARNED, THOSE WHO SEE YOUR BODY (Especially the Gods) WILL HATE AND DISCARD YOU FROM BEING NORMAL!!! YOU WILL BE SHUNEED FROM HUMAN, DEMIGOD, MONSTER, AND EVEN BEINGS TOUCHED BY THE DARKNESS
Cedric couldn't help it, he knew he couldn't help it. He laughed, he laughed that he survived. Laughed that he had this. And laughed because he no longer had human blood, everything was just so "FUNNY!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!" Cedric laughed, his mind slowly crumbling as he couldn't take it anymore. This was Cedric Deadnite, and this is his brief descent to the realm of the 'Dark Ones'
Boom!! I'm back, better than ever because I finally get to break my little character into the worst situation a child, teen, adult, or old demigod can ever face...What? you wanted me to tell you? Hell No!!!!! Seriously guys I'm serious about this story being on the serious and more dark side of Percy Jackson...I said serious 3 times, I must be pretty serious *Evil Giggle*. But in all seriousness, hehe, I really want this story to have the dark ways a demigod could experience, especially one that just got descended into madness. And for those who didn't realise; Cedric now has a hand covered in darkness, it will take him months to master this thing, so he's not going to be destroying things left and right.
