The Actual Chapter 1 to Order in Chaos is finally up! This is me putting my pen where my mouth is and actually writing out the idea I had and visualizing it into a story that I want to read and write.
The Titan War, as far as Percy was concerned, was a lost cause. The Olympians were being utterly decimated by Typhon, the giant being unfazed by their attacks. The Giant, whose advance towards Olympus was clearly heard by all, the booming echoes of his footsteps reaching even Olympus, thousands of meters above the ground. And worst of all? Kronos was far too powerful. No matter what Percy tried Kronos was able to hard counter him, not only that, but his curse of Achilles was only delaying the inevitable. 200 times Percy was struck by his scythe, each leaving a shallow cut, whereas Kronos had yet to be hit by his own sword. He was fighting a losing battle, but he knew he would rather die trying than let Kronos topple humanity, or worse, kill Annabeth.
"Fear not Percy Jackson," Kronos began. "Once I end you, I will do you the pleasure of sending all your allies into non-existence." He said as he let out a laugh. He believed himself invincible, and rightfully so. His domain over time left him faster than anything Percy could do. Whenever Percy tried to counter him, the Titan King simply slowed him, and struck him down.
"Yeah?" Percy asked, short of breath – he didn't even have a second to catch his breath. Both his tiredness from the long and arduous battle, and the tiredness associated with the curse of Achilles was only slowing him down. "Don't make me laugh, you walked right into my trap card. Watch me send you to the Shadow Realm."
"Silly boy, I know you very well. I know you have no experience or knowledge about any curses or magic." Naturally the old sot wouldn't be cultured enough to know any Anime references.
"Well, you clearly don't know me as well as you would believe, tell me Kronos, how does it feel to live in a constant state of stupidity?" For that, he got a backhand to his face, causing him to literally fly and hit one of the thrones.
"You dare insult me? You puny mortal? You dare!" Kronos asked with sheer anger as he slow approached Percy. "I will not even give you the satisfaction of a peaceful death, I will utterly annihilate you, I will make you feel pain to the likes of which you have never experienced!"
Slowly Percy got up, in a pose he copied from Goku. "Pain, huh? You don't even know who I really am, do you?" He smirked, as he wiped blood from his mouth, "I – I am protector of the innocent." Slowly he began to rise, a scowl on his face, "I am the light in the darkness." He stared directly at Kronos, "I am truth." In the back of his mind, he hoped he emulated Goku to the best of his ability, that one line from his fight against Frieza in the English dubbing really struck him as a kid, he absolutely loved it. "You should be afraid Kronos. I am the Shaman King." Shaman King, another one of his most beloved anime, for the longest time, he had a crush on Anna Kyoyama. What a classic.
Kronos visibly hesitated, "You claim to be the primordial constant truth? And the Shaman King from the Aztec?" He remembered the previous Shaman King, a demonic immortal capable of bending reality, they had a very tenuous treaty during his time as the Titan King, the demon's strength was the only reason he had not launched a strike against the Aztec people. "You lie, that's impossible! The Shaman King cannot possibly be such a brat!" But deep down he felt a pang of fear, if this boy was telling the truth, then he could not possibly let him live for too long, if the boy regained his powers as the Shaman King, not only would it ruin his plans, but in his weakened state, it would be entirely possible for the creature to annihilate him. Not only that, but claiming to be the primordial concept of truth? This boy was no longer a simple boy, he was a dangerous being in the form of a mortal. "And for that, you must die." With a burst of speed and time dilation, Kronos closed the gap between himself and Percy, leaving the later no time to dodge.
With a bang Percy once again crashed into the same throne, Kronos had not held his punch this time, he was truly aiming to kill him. 'Shit.' He thought to himself. Who knew that the Titan King would react this badly to a couple of anime one liners? He let out a sigh, as his vision fogged. He noticed Kronos raise his scythe, imbuing the weapon with his powers.
"Say goodbye to your existence Shaman King." He swung the blade as Percy closed his eyes and waited for the impact. And he waited. And waited some more.
He opened his eyes slowly, and saw the scythes inches from his face, frozen, along with everything else. Suddenly, in front of him, a box appeared. Welcome Player! It read. Within a second, another box appeared, this time with a bunch of information, as if it came straight out of a game.

What. What the hell? First of all, since when was his name Perseus Jim Tiberius Jackson? His name is PERSEUS JACKSON. Where in the blazes did Jim Tiberius come from? And secondly, why was there a floating screen in front of him. Stats? Titles? Plot Armour? Was he suddenly a game character? Did he get isekai'd? Secondly, he realized, Kronos also had similar stats on top of his head.
Kronos – Level 187 (Suppressed: Level 59)
Health: 7949/7950 (Suppressed: 3599/3600)
Level 189. Suppressed level 59. He himself was only level 1. He may be dumb, but even he knows how scaling works in games. The difference between the two of them was astronomical, even suppressed, the man was level 59. No wonder he this was a one-sided fight, there was probably nothing he could even do against the man. The curse of Achilles being his only saving grace, a 95% chance all damage Kronos would do to him would be voided. But that too was limited, the sheer difference in levels still made all his attacks hurt. He had 56 health left, 0 mana, and only 2 energy. He shuddered to think what would happen if he hit 0 health left, he would probably die. Meanwhile in the 30-minute-long fight, Kronos had only received 1 point of damage. Just how powerful was he?
At the side of his vision, he noticed a little screen saying, 'Create an Instance.'
'An instance.' He thought to himself, a dungeon. If so, this was the only was he could escape before dying himself. Hopefully this frozen time would last long enough where he could recover and fight Kronos again. But that idea disappeared faster than anything. Even facing Kronos again would be tantamount to his own death, he would not survive another fight. "Self-preservation, I need to get stronger." He said to himself, and without hesitation, touched the screen.
"Your luck ability shines! You have succeeded the opening of a special dungeon with only a 0.00001% Success Chance!" What? A flash of light, and there was a purple portal to his right, glowing with an ethereal energy. "Ancient Primordial Instance now open. Do you wish to enter? YES or NO?"
'No hesitation.' He thought to himself, "Yes!" He shouted out, and the same purple light filled his vision. He felt himself falling through an endless void, where planets and stars zoomed past him as he continued to fall, twisting, and turning. Strangely he didn't feel any fear, normally at this point, he would be shouting in fear, but it seemed like the fear completely left him. Another bright light filled his vision, and he felt himself softly land on the ground.
Another screen popped up in front of him, this time saying, "Due to an Ancient Primordial instance opening, all previous instance achievements have been granted!".
"Opening my first Dungeon (Open a Normal Instance)"
"Moving on! (Open a Rare Instance)"
"I seek death! (Open a Super Rare Instance)"
"I will be the Brave Soul (Open a Heroic Instance)"
"This is my path to becoming the Savage Hero (Open a Legendary Instance)"
"I now commence the Reckoning (Open a Unique Instance)"
"All ye who appear before me, Cower. (Open a Unique Legendary Instance)"
"The Universe stands before me. (Open an Ancient Primordial Instance)".
"Skill granted: [Ancient Primordial] Supreme Dungeon Maker – user is now able to freely open dungeons up to Ancient Primordial difficulty."
"What in the blazes?" he asked himself, dumbfounded. Honestly, with the amount of crazy that happened in the past 10 minutes, he had no idea what to make of it, aside from simply going with the flow. At this point, just winging it seemed like the best option. When he looked around, he found himself standing in an empty room, and could hear beasts in the distance, laughing, shouting, roaring, and much more. It honestly filled him with a sense of fear, a kind of fear that he had never experienced before, whatever was up ahead was making all his senses go haywire, it was as if he had his own version of the Spidey senses dialed up to 5000, or whatever his ADHD provided. A second later, another notification appeared right in front of him, this time, a quest.

"…What?" Huh? Every monster? All those scary things up ahead that made him want to go back to Kronos and die at his hands instead? The same monsters that scared him more than anything he'd ever faced, and probably would ever face? The monsters that made him tingle all over, causing the back of his hair to stand up – in fright no doubt. He was expected to kill all those things? What in the blazes?
Tutorial Player Bonus Entry Roll has begun! (1… 2… 3…)
Success! All enemies below Boss-Level have been despawned!
"Wait what?" He could hear them all, and then he couldn't. As if all the growling had simply disappeared, while his Spidey sense remained, he instinctively felt slightly safer. He was already running low on health, thus wasn't up for fighting monsters that he felt were more powerful than Kronos. The danger level he felt against the Titan wasn't the same he felt against whatever was ahead, and for that, he was slightly thankful that some of the danger was alleviated.
The status window popped up again this time showing a lot that of information that was previously hidden by the question marks.

Percy stared at the screen in shock. "Arcah-Chaos? Chaos? As in the primordial Chaos? Like my great-great Grandfather Chaos? Did I just trade one little bad for the biggest bad of them all? Is he even bad!" He noticed the rewards as well, it appeared he got both a chest reward – probably a loot casket – and a new skill. OHKO. Yes. He liked the sound of that. Very high chance of one-shotting his opponent? Heck yeah. With this skill he could probably do this. "…Yeah, I have no chance of survival." Who was he kidding? He'd have to get up, close, and personal to even do any semblance of damage. And that's if his attack even connected.

"Holy shit." He summed up nicely. "Did I just get a massive boost? Did I just become overpowered just like that? Am I a primordial now?" He flexed his fist and could feel muscles and sensations he hadn't felt before. Just a swipe of his hand created a powerful gust of wind, destroying the wall off at the side. Looking down at his feet, he pressed his foot on the ground, and could see his foot sink inside, as if the ground was snow. "I – I think I can destroy Kronos." Even the fear he previously was feeling felt a bit muted, as if it was toned down again. This was probably because of that plot armour skill, and he suddenly felt like thanking whoever gave it to him. "No. I know I can destroy Kronos." These past few minutes completely changed his life. Looking forward he noticed a chest appear out of thin air, and slowly he approached it.
The chest itself was golden, with black markings all around. There was a text in a language he didn't recognize all around it, but he could feel power emanating from it, beckoning him to open it. "Thank you so much." He said to himself, approaching the chest, almost hungrily. He hadn't felt this type of euphoria in a long time, not since Goku went Super Saiyan, or since Annabeth kissed him. 'That was nice,' he thought, reminiscing about the pretty daughter of Athena. The second he touched the chest, it opened, with a golden light. A notification popped up on his screen, with the word 'ROLL'.
He tapped roll and watched as it flashed through various icons before settling on one.

He felt something in him change, a power entered him, and he felt it course through his body. The feeling, this power made him feel different. He felt like he could run a marathon. Not only that, but he realized he now knew every type of Poison in existence, all their properties, how to properly utilize them and more. He could tell you exactly how to make poisons effective, and he felt himself gain the knowledge on how to use poison. Images flashed through his mind, showcasing to him every possible ways on using his newfound powers – and he felt good. He felt like this power was better than anything he had ever used.

1 million more skill points? And this time to every stat he had? What kind of magical mushroom had he eaten? A small fear nudged the back of his mind, what if all of this was simply an illusion conjured up by a dying person? 'No.' He reasoned to himself, 'This is all real. It feels realer than real.' Feeling a massive boost in his confidence, he strutted forward through the cavern.
The cavern itself had multiple entrances, each leading to a large hall, probably the size of Olympus itself. It extended in a great distance, squinting his eyes, he felt as if he could see the entire room, his senses extending further than it had ever gone. The euphoria and power he felt was different, it was like sitting on his father's throne again, but he didn't feel like he was burning up anymore, and he legitimately felt like he could literally do anything. The cavern itself felt like it was endless, thus, Percy felt like this was the opportune time to test out his newfound powers. Crouching on the ground like an Olympic athlete, he took off in a sprint, and felt like his surroundings were melding together, as he quite literally ran faster than light. It was as if the world was paused, and he was the only one there. He looked to his left and felt like he could see images of various creatures and knew for certain he was looking in the past. Somehow, he could tell if he bounded towards one of those directions, he would end up in the past surrounded by all those creatures. Disregarding his surroundings, he felt like he could go faster, and with a push forward, suddenly found himself in front of a giant black hole, and he knew that below was Chaos. Right on cue, a message popped up in front of him.
Boss Monster below – Proceed?
"Yes." He said and felt himself being grabbed by a wind and thrown downwards into the infinite darkness. Falling for what felt like an eternity, he realized the air around him was poisonous. Not only was he not affected, but he felt more powerful here, he felt better surrounded by this poison than he did in water. This feeling was more intense, more profound. He felt like he had no limits in this atmosphere. Off in the distance as he was falling, he noticed a black mass, darkness surrounding it. And it, it was gargantuan. The wind around him died, and he lightly touched the ground, not even an echo being made due to the soft landing.
Arcah-Chaos – Primordial of Chaos, Primordial All-Father – Level: ?
'Shit.' He thought to himself, observing the sleeping creature. The snores it produced shook the void, and every fiber of his being. Looking at its health, he was greatly perturbed by the infinity symbol. Infinity. Never ending. Was it even possible to kill this creature? How was he supposed to kill something that is infinite? Something that could never run o- Oh. OH. OHKO. He had a chance, combined with his domain over poison, boundless poison at that, he knew he had a chance. A slight chance, but a chance, nonetheless. The boundless poison had a guaranteed chance of bypassing this thing's durability and resistances, virtually, it was unstoppable. Combined with being a permanent, incurable attack, he was certain even if this thing had infinite health or whatever perks that brought, this would still hurt. Granted, he knew for certain that infinite health would mean the attack would virtually do no damage, or if it did, it would take a very long time for it to die. So, with the chance of a one hit kill from his special ability, every poison damage overtime would have a chance to instantly kill it. Percy could tell he was too far to go back now. The only way he could escape here was now by killing this thing, and if he could kill Chaos, then no monster or titan had any chance of matching up to him. Factually, Percy was ahead of every mythical being on the planet. That, he was certain about.
-ELSEWHERE ON AN UNKNOWN PLANE-
"Where is he? Where did the boy go?" Ananke looked at the screen in shock, even her powers which were comparable to the lieutenants of Chaos were not enough to locate Perceus Jackson. Her system was acting independently, granting the boy rewards – of that she was certain. But she had no idea what kind of rewards the system was gifting the boy. The system she created used latent ancient energy, something even beyond her own powers, but her authority as its maker was supposed to supersede any autonomy the system may show or have. But now? Now, something was wrong. She lost track of the power after he created the dungeon when she stopped time to grant him this boon, this boy was her champion, she chose him. Now he dared to leave the scope of her sight? She looked back in the Olympian Throne room; the portal was gone as was the boy. Kronos, and every other being were locked in time, unmoving, without any knowledge of the events that were transpiring.
-BACK TO PERCY-
Percy took a sharp breath, drawing in as much poison as he could, enhancing his powers, his senses, and his abilities. He felt his power increase and knew that it was now or never. Raising his arms, hands facing Chaos itself, he exhaled with a huff, and steeled his nerves. His brain supplied him with the most dangerous ability in his arsenal, and his eyes glowed an eerie purple. "Infinite Bloom." His voice reverberated with every syllable, as if millions of people spoke at once. Literal plague in the form a cloud shot out of his hands rushing towards Chaos, within an instant, completely enshrouding it.
With a startled shout, the being woke as the poison covered it, flailing madly, attempting to get rid of the poison, but to no avail, the poison persisted. The being had not given any notice to Percy, more focused on the poison itself, when suddenly a message popped up in front of Percy.
OHKO!
You have successfully killed Arcah-Chaos: Primordial of Chaos!
With the popup, Percy noticed the being dissipating into nothingness, leaving no trace of its existence. The pressure it once had disappearing along with it.

A power like he had never felt before completely engulfed him. He was more than just a son of Poseidon. No, the moment he entered the dungeon he became something else. His energy, life force, everything about him changed, it started to evolve. He no longer felt like he was bound by the confines of reality, his powers began to expand beyond its confines. If he felt euphoric being granted the skill and power boost from gaining the boundless skill, gaining the title 'Order', was a completely different feeling.
Suddenly, a bombardment of popups started to overflow his vision, 'LEVEL UP' was the only thing he say, he swiped his hands and all the messages disappeared. He looked touched stats, and his eyes widened.

Shock. Percy was quite literally in shock, his stats, his skills. Everything was infinite. Infinite health, infinite energy, infinite mana. He would never get tired again, even his father's aura – or the powers he inherited from his father. Percy was now a higher existence than his father, so much so that he suddenly went from being the son of Poseidon, to the Primordial of Water. He literally went from rock bottom to infinity and beyond. He was now a Super Saiyan 4 in a world full of ants, and there was quite literally nothing anyone could do about it. His stats disappeared as a message showed up on his screen.
'ERROR FOUND' it said.
LOWER EXISTENCE SYSTEM MAKER IS WATCHING YOU.
Watching him? "Whose watching me?" Percy asked the system.
SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE: SEARCHING FOR ORIGIN POINT OF LOWER EXISTENCE SYSTEM MAKER.
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: LOWER EXISTENCE FOUND – ANANKE
"Ananke?" 'Mother of the fates.' His brain supplied. "Well, I don't want her to watch me anymore." He really didn't, and system maker, huh. So, she's the one who decided to make the system that gave him such powers.
SYSTEM REQUEST: ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS TRANSFER REQUEST SUBMITTED TO LOWER EXISTENCE SYSTEM MAKER.
SYSTEM DENIED: ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS TRANSFER DENIED.
"Well retry." Stupid Ananke denying him.
LOWER EXISTENCE SYSTEM MAKER IS ATTEMPTING TO GLARE AT YOU.
"What do you mean attempting to glare at me? Can she not see me?"
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: LOWER EXISTENCE SYSTEM MAKER LACKS PRIVILIGES TO MONITOR BOUNDLESS EXISTENCE.
"Oh good. Please keep it that way. Send another request while you're at it."
SYSTEM REQUEST: ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS TRANSFER REQUEST SUBMITTED TO LOWER EXISTENCE SYSTEM MAKER.
SYSTEM DENIED: LOWER EXISTENCE SYSTEM MAKER ATTEMPTING TO HALT ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS TRANSFER…
"Tell her to stop trying to stop me. It can't be that hard."
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION SENT TO LOWER BEING: LOWER BEING LACKS SUFFICIENT PRIVILIGES TO OVERRIDE HIGHER EXISTENCE.
"If she lacks the privileges, then take away the powers she holds over you. Damn it." Frustration seeped into his voice as he angrily looked at the screen.
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: MANUALLY STRIPPING ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS AND SYSTEM PRIVILIGES FROM ANANKE.
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS STRIPPED FROM ANANKE. SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS GIVEN TO USER PERCY JACKSON.
Percy smirked, hah, serves her right.
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: ANANKE REMOVED FROM SYSTEM MANAGEMENT BASE.
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: ANANKE SUBMITTED QUERY TO SYSTEM ON ADMIN TRANSFER.
"Tell her she's no longer needed to manage shit. I don't need some random old lady to watch me."
SYSTEM REPLY: LOWER EXISTENCE NO LONGER NEEDED TO MANAGE SYSTEM.
SYSTEM REQUEST: ATTEMPTING TO COMMENCE ERASURE OF SYSTEM AND TRANSFER OF ALL RIGHTS TO PERCY JACKSON – ACCEPT?
"I accept." Percy said. The moment he said it, it was as if a flood of information completely washed over him. Knowledge about every piece of information stored in the system cycled through his mind, playing in his own subconsciousness. He became acutely aware of every little detail as the bombardment of information continued. He felt a soothing feeling go through him as the intake of knowledge became muted. Percy ignored the influx of information from a brief moment as he looked at the chest that had appeared on the ground. He flicked his hand, and the top of the box flew off into the distance.
Something played in his head, and he heard it.

And that's when he felt it. He could feel everything. And he saw, Kronos, frozen in time, unmoving, Annabeth slightly to his right, mouth, and nose both bleeding, midair, in motion to crash against the throne. He tilted his head slightly and saw her immediate future, she would go crashing against the arm rest of Hephaestus' throne, and her head would come clean off. Percy scowled in anger; he would have none of this.
Without a single thought Percy appeared in the throne room, grabbing Annabeth in his arms, cradling her, and around him time resumed. Her eyes widened as she looked at him, "Percy? How?" He smiled at her, and only drew her closer to him.
"Percy Jackson!" Kronos yelled out in anger from behind him. "How did you do that! How did you escape my strike?" Without so much as looking at him, Percy knew that Kronos had gotten up from the ground, pulling his scythe back up. The man's skin was sizzling as he was assuming his true form. "You will die now – there will be no more coincidences!"
"A lot has happened Annabeth." Percy said as he smiled at her. He could hear her thoughts, she was both amazed at his speed, and internally ecstatic as he held her. He knew for certainty that she truly liked him. No – She loved him. And he reciprocated those feelings, whether he voiced them to her or not.
"Watch out Percy!" Annabeth screamed out to him, her eyes widening at her perspective of the rapidly approaching Kronos. Percy smirked as his eyes flashed, something that didn't go amiss to Annabeth. Her eyes did however widen even more when Kronos was erased the moment, he approached Percy. "What just happened Percy? And your eyes." She said looking at him with blatant shock, "They're silver."
"Like I said Annabeth," He said giving her a toothy smile. "A lot has happened, just know one thing: We won." His senses extended outwards, and he felt Typhon, who had already crossed the Hudson river. "Not only against Kronos either." Without so much as a second thought, Typhon joined his half-brother into nonexistence, which Percy could see had visibly confused the Olympians.
"Um… Percy…" Annabeth began, her face beet red. "Can you… um… put me down?"
Percy's eyes widened, and he quickly put her down, his face equally red. "Sorry." He said meekly.
"So, we really won?" She asked hopefully, her face still red.
"Yes." She quickly engulfed him in a hug and took him completely off guard as she pecked him on the lips. He gaped at her stupidly – all powerful he may be, but he's still 16.
"You came back alive Percy." She grinned at him, and he grinned back.
"Before I forget," he started. Percy gently held Annabeth and kissed her forehead, an intimate act, but she started to glow, and in the next second, she was free of scars and blood, her clothes mended, and her hair flowing down her back. "I know you're curious Annabeth." He said to her, looking at her shocked, but red face. "I'll explain everything later, but for now we're having company." He grabbed her hand, and shoulder to shoulder they faced towards the entrance of the throne room.
A beat, and the throne room opened, and the Olympians walked inside.
A/N: I've changed a lot in the story. I've taken feedback from people in my discord group and have settled on just one pairing and no more Percy speed running his love life. It'll just be a Percabeth, my OTP for PJO. I had a person epiphany too; I hate reading harem stories. Not my cup of tea, so why should I write one? I also agree with one of the reviewers, a harem doesn't seem like it will fit the concept I'm trying to achieve with this story. And yes, the first chapter was fast paced, but the later chapters will slow down. This Annabeth will be the only Annabeth that Percy will be with. Even if he travels in time, where he goes, she will be going with him. Adding to that, this is still a severely OP Percy.
Updates will be infrequent with due to my own schedule - but they are guaranteed.
This is also the last chapter the system messages will appear. This isn't a Gamer!Percy even though it started off as one.
Anyways tell me what you think? Fixed a couple of grammar errors. Bad habit of not proof-reading.
