A/N: Hey guys. Two uploads in one week? Whaaaaat? Aren't you guys lucky. We will just consider it an early Black Friday deal/present. In other news, just wanted to thank you guys again for the complimentary reviews and reply to a few of them.

mungiguerragiovanni3- Can i say i got excited reading this story? I hope you will continue this story.

Yes, yes you can (In perfect Phineas imitation). But seriously, thank you so much for the reply and I have no plans on leaving this story high and dry anytime soon even if it is my first attempt at a Fanfic.

jivaf78- nice story, don't ruin the character by making him super strong in the first 5 chapters, please

Thank you for the support. And I certainly don't plan on doing so. Although you might find that certain other Demigods, *Cough* Percy *Cough*, and others will end up stronger than other Fanfics have depicted them in past GamerFics. After all, they are able to take on Titans and win. Even if thats partly because of skill, instinct and tactics. I mean how stupid do you have to be as a War god to pick a fight with a son of Poseidon by the Sea. Not to mention Hyperion fighting him literally on top of a lake. But enough of my rambling. I also think that if the character was OP so quickly, if at all in the end, it would just leave me with no where to go and writers block, something other fanfics authors tend to suffer from. I plan to keep this going and as entertaining as possible for as long as possible.

opatatern78- finally I was waiting with foaming at the mouth

Cheers but its my moral obligation to tell you that you should probably get that checked out. Have you been bitten by a wild animal recently because its most likely rabies ;).

nirmtheworm14- Definitely hoping for some extreme canon divergence. Different pantheons and everything!

Firstly, love the name Nirm. Secondly, thanks for the opinion and I am definitely leaning that way unless there is overwhelming support otherwise. Different Pantheons is of course a must. We talking Norse and Hindu. Maybe throw in some Shinto and Chinese Mythology into the mix. Almost definitely going to see some lovable superheroes whilst we are at it as well.

Guest- sliver arrow... how interesting..

Hmm... I wonder who on Earth I could have been referencing...

Seriously guys, I really appreciate all the reviews, even if I didn't specifically address them in this authors note. whether its support, healthy criticism or just opinions on some things you might want to see in the story. Although this is a hobby that I enjoy writing myself, I also want to make sure its going in a direction you guys want it to so just let me know. Other than that, hope you enjoy the latest chapter


"YOU DARE ATTACK AN OLYMPIAN AND SOMEONE UNDER HIS PROTECTION?" Apollo yelled out into the woods. Oh, they were done for. One thing I had learnt was that Apollo was very protective of me. He wouldn't even let me take down packs of monsters or ones that he deemed were strong, trying to keep me as safe as possible. He even put wards and had magic imbued into my tent so that monsters could not see it or smell my scent when I was inside in order to protect me.

So yeah, he really wasn't a fan of letting me die or the people that tried to kill me. I even knew who the people were who attacked us at this point and wasn't sure they would be safe from his wrath, despite their patron being his sister (The silver arrows kind of gave it away).

Slowly, twelve hunters dressed in silver materialised out of the woods, bows by their sides. Most seemed nervous other than their lieutenant, signalled by the silver tiara she wore, and maybe two others who were all glaring at me as they came out. The lieutenant truly did look like a Persian princess, coppery skin perfect and unblemished with long black hair tied in a braid resting over her shoulder. She looked around 16 and had sharp facial features. Despite her glare, I couldn't help but admit she was stunning, although saying that out loud was likely to get me castrated even if I had a god to defend me. 'Zoe Nightshade' I thought to myself.

"Apologies, Lord Apollo," She said through gritted teeth, taking her eyes off of me, "We did not know who thou were and this boy saw us and got out a bow."

"So you just fire at people, who you cant be bothered to identify, purely because they see you, even though they don't even have an arrow on hand to cause you harm? What a smart idea that is." I said sarcastically whilst rolling my eyes, Apollo just giving them all glares that promised pain. I had met both his Roman and Greek counterparts and, unluckily, the girls met the Roman one today. They were nearly identical but the Roman one commanded more respect to those he didn't call friends and was less forgiving as well. You would also think a millennia old huntress would be able to figure out they were spying on an Olympian but apparently their misandry clouded Zoe's vision. I mean how more Apollo can you get than a bright gold tent.

"I did not speak to thee, boy, and thou would do well to remember your place." Zoe spat back.

"Speak to him like that again and you will regret it. I do not care what my sister does." Apollo said slowly, in an icy tone. The entire area seemed to increase in temperature by 20 degrees for a moment as he flared his aura as a warning. Zoe's eyes seemed to widen, perhaps remembering exactly who she was dealing with as she turned her attention back to the god in front of her.

Not a second later, there was a flash of light just in front of the hunt as all but Apollo turned away and covered their eyes until the light dissipated. Standing in its place was a very angry looking twelve-year-old with silver eyes and auburn hair, radiating a power only a goddess could. I used Observe even though it was obvious who it was.

Artemis, Goddess of the Moon

Lvl- ?

"Do not threaten my hunters Apollo." Artemis growled.

He just scoffed at her. "Are you aware that they were trying to spy on me before all of them shot at my companion just for noticing them." He replied angrily. Not even a tease about her being his little sis. I was secretly happy with how protective Apollo was of me, even to the point of not taking shit from Artemis. Or maybe he just didn't like the hunters spying on him… NAH. The guy loves the attention and himself too much for that. I'm working on a theory that Narcissus was secretly his son and not Cessiphus's because Apollo loves himself just as much as it said Narcissus did in the Myths.

This one time, we literally walked into a clothes store just because he saw a mirror he thought he looked good in. Didn't buy anything or even browse, yet somehow the god managed to spend 30 minutes in there just looking at himself. To be fair to him though, the mirror selfie he took did become his most liked photo on 'Instagod'. Although when you've got all the 9 Muses to repost it, I don't think its that hard to do. The goddesses were celebrities on the app, the music videos they post making them viral sensations across all pantheons.

I would still rather tell Jupiter to his face that his use of the Masterbolt constantly reeks of him overcompensating for something then go through that experience with Apollo again though. Wait, I got sidetracked didn't I. Right, back to the man haters.

Artemis seemed confused by Apollo's tone before realising this wasn't the care free Greek Apollo, but the slightly more dignified Roman one. Her eyes widened as she looked at me, noticing that my shirt had the word Probatio written on it.

"Lady Artemis," I said, bowing, telling her subtly that the I was aware this was her Greek form and not to worry at the moment.

She looked at me confused before frowning at her brother. "Is this what this evenings emergency meeting about?" Artemis asked whilst nodding at me.

"I do have a name you know and its not this or boy." I replied, getting a little sick of all of their blatant disrespect for no apparent reason. I wasn't asking the angry, immortal teens to like me or be nice but treating me like I'm some speck of dirt wasn't going to fly.

"You dare speak to a goddess like that, especially Lady Artemis?" One hunter hissed back.

"Ha, rich coming from the girls who thought it was ok to spy on an Olympian and shoot at us." I replied with a snort.

"It matters not if he is an Olympian, he is just another male pig, one who goes around sticking his dick in whores and easy women just like every other God, just like he probably did with your mother." Another girl sneered. A few other hunters seemed to nod their head in agreement as my anger built exponentially. I didn't really care what they said about me but they just called my dead, loving mother a whore. I tightened my grip on my bow as I stared down the girl who spoke, a brunette with emerald green eyes, who returned my steely gaze. Before I could do anything, I saw Zoe look towards Apollo with fear, reminding me that he was also here and that he surely wouldn't have taken that well. The girl not only insulted him but Leto as well considering who the twins father was, and that was definitely off limits. The only reason I hadn't done something I might regret (I definitely wouldn't have regretted it btw) was because Gamer's Mind decreased the intensity of my emotions and fast. I also still liked Lil Pheonix just a bit more than I hated this hunter.

Surprisingly, when I turned to Apollo, I didn't see him aiming an arrow at the skull of the girl who spoke ill of him and his mother. He had his bow out, as did Artemis, but they were both just staring at each other. I came to the conclusion that the only reason he hadn't shot the idiot must've been because him and Artemis were having a mental conversation and didn't hear her. The appearance of their bows led me to believe that Artemis probably wanted to kill me or capture me for knowing about Greeks whilst being Roman, whilst Apollo was probably trying to stop that by arming himself to show that I was under his protection.

After a few more minutes of staring at each other, Artemis scowled and turned around on her heels.

"We're leaving." She said commandingly as she walked off into the woods, her hunters following behind as some gave me dirty looks which I returned.

I felt a hand on my shoulder as I continued to grip my bow tightly, not having moved from my spot as I watched where the hunters just left.

"I am sorry for what they said Nick. Do not think I did not hear what they said or that I was not angered by it as well. But your safety comes first and was currently under threat. As such, me taking action against the hunter would only have ended up jeopardising that safety." Apollo explained.

I sighed, clamping down on Gamer's Mind in order to calm down before turning to face the God. "I understand and thank you for looking out for me Apollo."

"Always." He said sincerely with a smile. "Unfortunately, we have bigger problems," he continued with a frown.

"Yeah I know. I used my father's powers." I said, disheartened. See, there was a reason that I hadn't tried to train my inherited abilities yet. When I first started training, Apollo explained that when inherited powers are used for the first time, it can be like a homing beacon to the godly parent of the kid who used them. It's completely random whether it is the case for any random demigod but taking the chance was not an option for me. I had been only training for a few days with Apollo at the time but I enjoyed the wildlife I lived amongst, the cities when Apollo and I went into them for dinner and entertainment, the hunting we did together and alone. The feeling of the wind battering against my face as I ran through forests, feeling free and away from the problems that I knew were ahead of me in a few years. I didn't want to lose that because of Pluto's paranoia of Jupiter, something that Apollo understood. There was a high chance that if Pluto found out that I was alive, he would want to take me to the Underworld and neither of us knew if he was willing to do so forcefully if I didn't want to go.

So we agreed I wouldn't use my powers until we introduced myself to the council and got assurances I wouldn't be targeted so Pluto wouldn't have a reason to try hiding me. Plus, there would be uproar if I was kept in the Underworld from an overly suspicious King of the Gods. Now though, all that hiding and lack of training my powers might be for nothing. Pluto could be here any moment.

"Actually, that's not what I was talking about, although I understand your worry." Apollo said. "If he sensed you, we will deal with that as and when we need to. I'll try my best to keep my favourite cousin within the real world, I can promise you that," He said seriously.

"Thanks Apollo. What's the problem then?" I asked.

"Dian- sorry, Artemis obviously saw you were Roman yet knew of her Greek form and even sensed your power. Normally she would be lenient since I'm involved but since we had an… incident with her hunt she told me that I had to tell the Council of you today or she would since your knowledge makes you a potential threat."

"Don't some of the older hunters know of both Camps existences?" I wondered out loud.

"Yeah, cause they were around when the two camps knew about each other. But apparently they aren't the threat you are. Double standards if you ask me. Not to mention the fact that if you were a female and a part of her hunt you couldn't be touched and I know Artemis would have easily hidden you. Bunch of sexists. I bet now you wish I created my own hunt." He joked.

"Actually, yeah I do." I said in all seriousness. Apollo looked at me inquisitively. "Well, the hunters seem to think that the only vulnerable people are women and that's a reason why the hunt was created right, to help protect them? It might have been true in Ancient Greece but that's not the case anymore. 1 in 3 victims of domestic abuse are male. Plus, most of Artemis' recruits are girls who she gave a home or saved from abuse right? Did you know that 48% of child abuse victims are boys? Where's the help for them, the group that gives them a home other than Camp?"

Apollo seemed to think things through as we walked over to two chairs he conjured up and sat down. "You make a good point Nick. But why the sudden change of heart. You obviously already knew these facts." He pointed out.

"Actually, I only read about them a few weeks ago. But regarding why I am saying it now, I didn't want to put a strain on yours and Diana's relationship, not to mention how the hunters would feel about the situation, it just wasn't worth it. Now though, I couldn't give one about her Huntresses, they deserve no respect from me. In fact, this is more likely to get them to attack me, giving me a legitimate reason to put them down a peg or two. They believe they are better than us simply because we are male and I can tell they use the idea that only girls can join the hunt as a justification for their beliefs."

"Alright Nick. I'll entertain the idea. What you thinking?"

New Title: Asshole

Do you wish to accept?
[YES/NO]

To be honest, as soon as I saw that success would mean not having to wear this damn shirt, I was always gonna accept. Although the game didn't have to be so brutal with the failure consequences.

"Hmm, I haven't really thought of anything yet. Let's say it works similar to the hunt. We go around doing what the Olympians ask of us, mostly hunting monsters yes? Well then the members should probably get some of the same benefits right? Partial immortality. Could you bless them like Diana does?" I asked.

"Technically it's Artemis who blesses her hunters. But all members have to become the devout followers of the god in order for them to do so, which is why she has her oath. Other than the fact she really doesn't like men." Apollo informed. "Otherwise the blessing would drain some of the god's power to maintain, whereas becoming a devout follower of a god increases their power. If not, Artemis would be a lot weaker from the number of hunters she gives her blessing."

"That makes sense I guess." I said, pondering other concerns of mine.

"Oooh. What about uniforms?" he asked excitedly.

"What do you mean?"

"Well the hunt all wear silver Parkas. We also need a uniform. What about a golden tank top?"

"No. This probatio thing deters away everyone and everything. We wouldn't get even one recruit if they had to wear something similar." I replied instantly, causing him to pout for just a moment. Then he seemed to have another idea.

"What about a gold suit with black shirt and tie." He asked, a glint in his eye. He was probably thinking about him and ten wingmen all dressed in the things walking into a club, causing all the girls eyes to drift to us, lingering on Apollo the longest of course.

"Not really practical for hunting though. What about a… golden fleece? Like the mythical item." I suggested.

"You want to wear a sheep's coat?" He asked, confused.

"No, of course not! I meant a fleece jacket." I explained.

"Oh. Yeah, that actually sounds like a good idea. But you will need spare raincoats."

"True." And with that decided, Apollo and I discussed how his hunt would work. We decided that all members were going to be male, if we took females on then we knew Artemis and her hunt would chase us both out the country. We also decided that the partial immortality, age wise, only kicked in once you turned 21. This was a non-negotiable for Apollo as he wanted to go out drinking with every member at some point. I actually agreed with the idea, not because of the drinking part though. It made no sense to keep someone trapped in a body that isn't fully developed physically. It can only endanger them. I think the only reason Artemis does it is because girls sex drive tends to increase once they reach adulthood, meaning a lot more of her hunters would have defected over the years probably. Quite selfish if you ask me, willing to keep them weaker out of fear of losing them.

We also knew that at this point it was impossible for the council to allow this to happen if this was purely a gift to each member of the hunt with no drawbacks. Most people would leave the camps for opportunities like this, which is not something they would want. So we thought of some stipulations to the requirements to join. 1) An oath to serve Apollo. 2) An oath that the group, whatever we call it, comes first before blood relatives and any relationship. 3) Although relationships are not forbidden, no partners are allowed to travel amongst the group or live with us when stationary. 4) You are not allowed to permanently split from the group for an extended period of time, unless it's for an official quest or with Apollo's permission.

We definitely weren't making them stay virgins. Partly because its hypocritical of Apollo to make his followers stay virgins, but mostly because Apollo was absolutely disgusted with the idea, making me think more and more that he just wants wingmen that were sworn to him. I'm definitely doing the talking in the throne room.

Once we had ironed out all the details, including me finding a way to make it almost impossible for the council to say no, the sun was already setting. Apollo had ordered us a Chinese whilst we were discussing the group, which we were currently eating. I don't know how he got the delivery driver to give it to us personally in the middle of the woods but who was I to complain. We had also decided on a name for the group. The Archers of Apollo. Seems a bit culty but it was that or the Brotherhood of Apollo, which was not happening. This wasn't Assassins Creed.

"You know Nick, the way you talk and the ideas you have are impressive. If I didn't see you're in a kids body, I would have thought you were an adult," Apollo said with pride.

"I am technically 72." I joked. He was closer to the truth than he thought though. The more and more I lived this life, the surer I was that I had an old one where I was at least of drinking age. My inherent knowledge and wisdom, not to toot my own horn, despite my stats were just too vast for that not to be the case. I was still an immature idiot though.

"Fair enough." He chuckled before looking up at the sky. "We need to go visit someone before we leave for Olympus."

"Who?"

"A friend." Was all he said, smiling as he did before putting a hand on my shoulder and teleporting us away.

After I got over the motion sickness that came with godly teleportation, I looked around to find I was in a typical American diner, except for the fact it was completely empty spare two women who were currently sitting in a booth right in front of us. They seemed to ignore Apollo and I, currently arguing about something. They were definitely sisters, their features too similar not to be, and were both wearing Greek chitons. They both had silky black hair and Onyx black eyes. Except the one on the lefts pupils were milky white and looked like a liquid, swirling about and trapped by her irises.

"It should be taken into account." The woman with white pupils said to the other.

"They don't have memories of them, Mnemosyne, and it is just this current life for which they should be judged," the woman on the right argued.

"But is still the same soul, even if they have chosen rebirth and been dunked in the Lethe." The woman with the white pupils, now known as Mnemosyne, the Titaness of Memory, pointed out.

"That is the risk they take when they choose rebirth. They are specifically made to forget their memories so as not to be judged for their previous actions in the next life. It's the risk they take to get to the Isle of the Blessed. It is the law and it is righteous justice."

"And what if I gave a soul back its memories of its old life, before judgement, after it lives one worthy of Asphodel. Would your rules say the judges take those memories into account? Where is your justice then?" She asked with a smirk, clearly trying to rile up the still unknown woman.

"That would never happen anyway. To give one's memories back is an Ancient Law that I inscribed myself into stone upon its creation and is one you would never dare break. Lets just stop this pointless argument. We have guests." The unnamed woman said as they both turned to look at Apollo and I.

"Apollo." Mnemosyne said with a nod before looking at me expectantly, waiting for me to introduce myself. I shook my head out of my shock before replying. After all, I had just heard a woman say she had the ability to create unbreakable laws.

"Nick Dhana. A pleasure to meet you Lady Mnemosyne. Lady Themis." I greeted both individually with a small bow of the head. Both seemed slightly amused by this.

"I do not remember saying Themis' name whilst you were here yet you recognise her?" Mnemosyne asked with a raised eyebrow, causing Themis to scowl at her sister, clearly insulted by the surprise Mnemosyne would show at her being recognized.

"You look like sisters. Since I knew you were Mnemosyne, Titaness of Memory, that narrowed down the options and when you spoke of her 'law and justice,' It made things painstakingly obvious. She is Themis, Titaness of Good Counsel, Law, Fairness and Divine Order." I explained.

"Told you he was a smart kid." Apollo said as he took a seat next to Mnemosyne. This forced me to sit next to Themis, which I wasn't opposed to in any way.

"Indeed you did. Now what do you need from me?" Mnemosyne asked.

"Nick and I have a meeting with the rest of the Olympians soon. He may know certain things that could end up being dangerous, meaning the council might try to get rid of certain knowledge he has. However, I am unable to get through to his memories as there is a protection placed on him. I am not the strongest at this though, with Juno and Bacchus being some of the few council members who are more skilled in the art. I wanted to see if you could get through his mental block. After all, if you can't, then no Olympian can," Apollo explained.

"Interesting. A mental protection that can withstand an Olympian's prying. This might take a few minutes as there are multiple ways to access the memories of a demigod but I am happy to check." Mnemosyne said, proceeding to look at me and close her eyes before anyone could reply.

I felt a slight tug at my head, a sign Mnemosyne was trying to enter but it was easily shrugged off. I just sat in silence as the tug continued, moving to different areas of my head as it did so.

Themis spoke up after a minute or so of said silence. "You're struggling with something child?" She asked. I faced to look at her and saw her looking at me curiously with a warm smile.

I sighed. She was right of course; my thoughts were all focused on one subject. The Ancient Laws. But maybe Themis could help, it was what she said that caused this train of thought.

"You said you wrote the Ancient Law regarding Rebirth right?" I asked, to which she nodded. "I just always thought the Ancient Laws were just there, a set of rules existing before the Gods and Titans themselves, not created by them."

"Some Ancient Laws are not written and made official by me by orders of the Olympians, some are. For example, the fact that a god cannot enter another's domain or just challenge them at any moment were both Laws that existed before I was born, perhaps made by the Creator herself, even I don't know. But the Ancient Law that says A god cannot steal another's symbol of power directly, that is one created by Zeus to keep his Masterbolt safe." Themis explained. 'And the man was too arrogant to include demigods and mortals in that Law, which will come back to bite him soon enough' I thought. But that wasn't what was currently distracting me.

"And what of the origins of the Law that says the gods cannot raise their children or even directly interact with them just because they want to?" I asked as a look of understanding passed over Themis' face, whilst a frown appeared on Apollo's. The reason this was currently on my mind was because Pluto hadn't appeared since I controlled the shadows not too long ago, meaning he had either not sensed it or just did not want to meet me in person. He could think that he can't meet me in person but he had done so with Hazel during the Giant War and Nico literally lived with him so he's clearly willing to break a few laws. Plus, as someone who's free from fate, do the Ancient Laws even apply when regarding myself. It was troubling me to say the least.

"It is one ordered by Zeus and the council. I add Laws at his request in exchange for my freedom," She said sombrely. I looked at Apollo questioningly. He always talked so fondly of his children and was always sad about the fact he couldn't visit them at all. So this didn't make sense to me. He seemed to expect my questioning too as he began talking immediately.

"It was not the not the council's decision," he said with a frown, "Zeus came back one day saying he had it created, probably knowing he couldn't hide the fact he wanted it added. Most of us were against it and voiced our anger but he cut us off, saying that our children needed to be independent, become strong enough to fight the monsters of the Greek world, mortal and mythical. We all knew it was crap, he just wanted to be able to do whatever he wanted with a woman and then forget about her and the child, only claiming them and parading them round if they improved his image. But it was still the early days of the Council then. The elder gods were still grateful to Zeus for breaking them out of their Fathers stomach. We younger gods were new, afraid of losing our seats of power if we did anything drastic. Although it was a big part of the reason why Poseidon, Hera and Athena agreed to entrap Zeus and make him promise to be a better ruler."

"The Law was also not just made without consequences," Themis added, confusing me. "You see child; I cannot just create any Law for Zeus as he pleases. Some can't be made at all; it is just impossible for me to do so. Otherwise, someone like Kronos would have had me create an Ancient Law that he could not be usurped by another. And even when they do find loopholes, to inscribe a new Ancient Law does not come without repercussions, most occurring without me being able to stop them. I am the Titaness of Fairness for a reason."

She hesitated for a moment but continued, "I might get in trouble for letting you know of this but you seem like a good child, one who would put this to use well and piss off Zeus as an added bonus. When the Law about interactions with demigod children was requested by Zeus, I let him know two other Laws would come to be if he did so. Both of which he was willing to accept."

"TWO!?" Apollo hissed, "He only told us of one. That we were allowed to help demigods on their quests in return for a favour being done by them of equal magnitude."

"Exactly why I said I might get in trouble for this. He probably only told you that one in order to try and show he did it for our children." Our. She said our yet I hadn't heard of any demi-Titans in the books or since I had escaped Las Vegas. I guess it wasn't too important so I decided to not question her use of that particular word and let her continue. "There was another Law he kept secret in order to make sure demigods never had knowledge of it. It basically states that when a demigod completes a quest to help a god or does something for a god, the god must accept a request of the demigods as long as it can be argued that it provides fair compensation and does not subsequently threaten or weaken the god physically. In other words, you do something for a god, they owe you by Law. He kept it secret for obvious reasons as if they never made a request or never knew about the Law, a demigod couldn't hold him to it." Themis explained.

My jaw dropped at the revelation. The consequences of this were huge. Think about it. The two Laws that were repercussions of implementing one that restricted interaction with their own children were very similar, except the secret one gave demigods all the power. They could request anything of equal magnitude to the favour they did for a god and the god would have to grant it. What I could do with this information. I need to hop onto the quest for the Masterbolt now. Returning two symbols of power to stop World War 3 and a civil war on Olympus would give me almost free reign over what I could ask for.

And I would make sure I asked for something big.
