Previously
Happy with the ten points I had waiting to be used I pushed on the doors, and they didn't budge. Frowning I pushed with all my strength and slowly the doors slid open. A bright light suddenly flooded my vision blinding me for a second. "Hello there mortal, welcome to my arena!" A feminine voice rang throughout the large room as the doors suddenly slammed shut behind me. As my vision cleared up I cursed my luck. I stared up at the woman on her throne and muttered a phrase that perfectly summed up this whole ordeal. "Well, I'm fucked."
Now
The woman on her throne was beautiful, with pale skin, brown hair, and black eyes. There were hundreds of whispy figures in the stands, with the arena itself being filled up with at least fifty skeletons. I clenched my hand around the iron sword I wielded and used Observe on her.

Description- Ragna was a rare mortal born with the ability to use mana. A Daughter of Hecate found her and began teaching her magic. After a few years, Ragna discovered her affinity for Necromancy. After her master had repeatedly tried stopping her from using live humans as test subjects, Ragna escaped into the labyrinth to continue her research. She eventually became so adept at necromancy she turned herself immortal, forever escaping Thanatos' Clutches. She is very excited to have someone entertain her in her arena.
My eyes nearly popped out of my skull. She was an immortal human! Her stats were also more than double my own. I gulped and nervously got into a ready stance. She had a gleam of madness in her eye. "Oh, so you are going to fight eh? No begging or anything like people usually do?" She asked, tilting her head to the side slightly. I answered with as much confidence as I could," As if you would actually spare me, I have seen the eyes you have before. No, I am better off fighting." Her lips curled up into an insane smile and she laughed loudly. "You are very wise for a child. Now, let us see how long you can survive." She said and waved her hand towards me, "Kill him." I steeled my nerves and pulled up my stats really fast.

I accepted then thought about my stats. I didn't see anything that I should immediately improve so I focused back on the small army of skeletons charging me. I ducked under the first skeleton's slash, cutting him in half at the waist. I raised my shield to block another skeleton while swinging my sword at another. After a few kills, I found myself slipping into the rhythm of the fight, enjoying the rushing adrenaline flowing through my veins I front flipped over one skeleton, taking its head off, and sliced another skeleton in half vertically on my descent. I couldn't stop the grin from creeping onto my face. My previous life had broken me more than I thought. I turned and threw my shield as hard as I could, Captain America style, knocking over 10 skeletons. I ran over to the pile of skeletons and started hacking at them as they tried to regroup. That turned out to be a mistake as I felt a sword slice across my back, shouting in pain I spun around and cut down the skeleton that had cut me.
- 50 Hp(1% Damage Reduction)= -49.5 Hp

Shit man, that hit took down 1/8th of my health. I can't afford to take too many hits like that. I thought to myself and backed away from the crowd of Ragna's minions. Out of the original 50, only twenty remained.

I smiled to myself as I felt the cut on my back heal with my level up. Ragna sat up suddenly seeing how my injury instantly healed. "What is this sorcery!" She questioned. I cheekily, "You will have to beat me to find out." I replied and watched as her face reddened. "Annihilate him!" She screamed at the remaining skeletons as they all charged at me. I decided to not use my water powers yet since I wanted to keep them a secret. Also, I wanted to test the limits of this new body. I charged at the skeletons and quickly engaged them. Dodge, Duck, Slash, Stab, Block, Stab, Slash, Jump, Duck, Dodge. I repeated that sequence until all the skeletons were bones on the floor. I was panting hard. That was pushing my limits almost to the breaking. My body was almost too weak to even win that fight. I hid it as best as I could behind a mask of confidence. "Is that everything you have?! You expect to kill me with weak soldiers like that?" I challenged. I immediately knew I fucked up when her eyes darkened in anger and hate, she smiled menacingly sending a shiver down my spine. "I guess not. How about this then?" She said standing up and pointing at the bones litering the ground. I felt, something, in the air. It was reaching out from her to the bones on the ground.

I shivered after feeling her mana. It reminded me of the underworld. Slowly the bones flew towards a central point and began knitting together. In a flash of dark light, a new entity had been formed. It stood at about 8', with a Bulky frame entirely covered in armor. There was a rams horn helmet engraved onto the chest plate. The helmet's inside was shrouded in darkness, with four massive tusks sticking out from the sides of the headpiece, two long ones on the bottom and two shorter ones forming horns at the top corners. It held a massive double-sided ax. Quickly using observe I shuddered at seeing its stats.

I swallowed some saliva in my mouth before switching to a new sword. I started to circle it, waiting for it to move or attack, as my mind worked on overdrive. It is completely invulnerable to damage except for one spot? Like how I was with the curse of Achilles. But even that spot can only be hit when It does a specific attack? How will I know which attack it is? My mind raced before I was broken out of my thoughts when I evidently stepped too close to it. Two glowing red spheres appeared inside the helmet and it turned to look at me. It slowly started moving towards me, each step shaking the ground underneath it. It's like watching a giant snail moving. I thought to myself and let it get near me. It started to swing horizontally, I leaped back as fast as possible, holding a shallow cut on my stomach.
-10 Hp(1% Damage Reduction)= -9.9Hp
Health- 490.1/500
Shit man! How the hades did it swing so fast! I thought to myself as I trembled in shock. I managed to calm myself down and started running circles around it looking for a weak point in his armor. After a few seconds of searching, I found a crack on the armor covering its back. Ironically, it was in the same place as my Achilles heel. I rushed forward and tried to slash it, but my sword just bounced off. I retreated quickly seeing it try and turn around to hit me. After a minute of dodging attacks, it did a new move. It raised its ax high into the air and swung down impossibly fast. I barely dodged the attack as the ground shook from the force of his ax hitting the floor. I stood back up seeing the hulking mass of armor struggling to pull the ax out of the floor. Now! I shout to myself and run behind it. I stab my sword towards the weak point at full force and smile victoriously as it sinks into the armor. The monster let out a metal roar and jerks its ax out of the ground. I quickly back up to see what kind of damage I caused.
50 dmg + Str x 300% x 5% x 1000%(Weak Point) = 1,858.5 Damage!
Ferrous Wroughtnaut
Health- 4,141.5/6000
"Tch" I cursed my luck. I had been hoping to take it down in one hit but no suck luck. If it had not been for the weak point damage It would've been almost nothing to the Ferrous Wroughtnaut. I could see the hate in its eyes. It started moving forwards again and I had to dodge another attack. It only swung down once every few minutes so it was just a waiting game.

Health- 424.5/6000
Finally, after hitting it two more times in a period of almost five minutes it was down to 424.5 Hp. One more hit and it would be dead. It seemed to recognize that as well since it suddenly charged at me. I tried backing away but it swung diagonally much faster than I had anticipated. I cried out as his ax crashed into my chest blowing me backward into the arena wall. A crater formed upon my impact and I slid down the wall onto the floor barely able to breathe, with stars dancing across my vision.
Warning! You have sustained major injuries! You have 6 broken ribs, 5 fractured ribs, and a concussion.
-400 Hp(1% Damage Reduction)= -396 Hp!
Health- 94.1/500
I coughed up blood and glared at the approaching enemy. Well here goes one of my trump cards. I thought to myself as I opened up my inventory. I pulled out four cheeseburgers.
Cheese Burger
Regens 20% of Hp
Ragna and the Ferrous Wroughtnaut watched in what I can only assume is fascination and shock, seeing as I pulled food from thin air, and swallowed the four cheeseburgers. I smiled at them both through blood-stained teeth. I felt my bones reconnect and my internal organs heal. Spitting out a blob of blood I looked at my Health.
Health- 494.1/500
The Ferrous Wroughtnaut got over its shock and swung its ax down faster than it had done previously, but this time, I was ready. I got low to the ground and ran towards the enemy as fast as I could. I did a baseball slide between its legs while its ax slammed into the floor once more. Standing up I drove my sword into the weak point on its back. My sword broke off inside of the hulking set of armor. It gave a final roar before falling to its knees and face planting onto the ground. It dissolved into white smoke leaving behind its loot.

I looked at the ax in shock but decided to look at it later since I still had to defeat Ragna. I turned around to look at her. She was PISSED. Her face was bright red. "How dare you kill my Ferrous Wroughtnaut! Do you even know how long it takes to create them?!" She screamed at me. I snorted, "Like I care you psychotic bitch, now come fight me, unless you are too weak to do it yourself." I taunted. The one way I knew to get an immortal to fall into a trap was to insult their power. She turned nearly purple and jumped down into the arena and charged at me.

I smirked at the new skill but quickly steeled myself. I had to play this safe since currently, she was faster AND stronger than me, although not by much. A large staff appeared in her hand and she swung it down at me. I raised my shield to block it and was pushed back from the force behind it. She smirked at me. "Even if you defeated my minions you cannot defeat me, boy. I will kill you and incorporate your soul into my own personal army!" She exclaimed and tried to attack again. I pulled another sword from my inventory to block her attack but felt my hand numb slightly upon contact. I gritted my teeth and pushed her back with all my strength and slashed at her stomach.
50 dmg + str x 5% = 62 dmg!
Health- 9,938/10,000
She held her stomach and glared at me. I cursed my strength, What can I do to take her by surprise? The water bottles! I thought to myself. I pulled out three water bottles and threw them at her. She swung her staff at the bottles, splashing water all over herself and the ground. She smiled smugly at me, "Was that supposed to do something child? It does not matter what little tricks you try and play, once you are dead I will have your soul spill all its secrets to me. Especially, how you pull things out of thin air." She said confidently. I could not wait to show her just how wrong she was. I pulled out my last water bottle and poured it over my head.

I smiled, enjoying the familiar feeling of strength water gave me. Apparently, she noticed too and looked at me curiously. "What exactly are you? The water seems to make you stronger... but that would mean!" She looked at me in alarm and I grinned devilishly. "I am a demigod," I told her simply. Before she could even react I called upon my powers and made the water on the ground and on her body turn into spikes to stab her.

I put 1,000 Mp into my water spikes and watched in morbid fascination as spikes of all sizes pierced into her body. She collapsed to her knees.

She coughed up blood, "S-son of the sea god then?" She asked leaning back staring up at me. I nodded in acknowledgment. She suddenly burst into flames throwing me back. I screamed out as some of the water on my skin evaporated and left me burned.

I moved the water that was left on my body to the burns and began healing them. I angrily stared at Ragna, who looked at me shocked. The wounds on her body were cauterized but she was still on her knees. "H-how are you alive!" She screamed. I ran to her and grabbed her by the throat, holding her in the air. "That attack barely did anything to me. Now, time to die." I replied. I raised my sword, "Wait-!"Shink. The sound of a sword slicing through flesh rang out as my sword stabbed her heart. She coughed up more blood before going limp in my hand.

She dissolved into smoke leaving behind her staff. I gathered up all my loot and looked over it.

I was a little bit confused with the experience I needed to level up to level 8. I guess level 6 needed 1,200 experience and it doubled after that instead of raising up by 200 as it had done previously, or by 400 in the case of level 5 to 6.

Soul Enslavement Lvl- Max
This skill allows you to enslave the enemies you have defeated. Their power will be calculated as (Int+Wis)% of their original stats.
I whistled out loud. That was a VERY powerful skill. Which means... I could possibly enslave gods or titans. I smiled a bit imagining myself leading an army of monsters, gods, and titans against my enemies. I shook myself out of that train of thought and activated my new skill. "Soul Enslavement" I called out and many different souls appeared before me. I looked through them and found the one that stood out more than anyone else, the soul of Ragna. I reached out towards her soul and used the skill on her. Every other soul faded and she appeared before me. "What is your will master?" She asked kneeling down. I was silent for a second and she looked up at me, I could see the fear in her eyes. I sat down on the ground in front of her, Indian style, and gave her my first command.
Authors note:
Hey guys, sorry this took so long. I am off for the next few days so I plan on writing more. Leave your theories in the comments about what Percy's first command to Ragna will be. Also yes I did use the same power leveling system for Soul Enslavement as the gauntlet of Kefka uses. I personally could not come up with anything better so yeah. Leave any suggestions you have in the comments or feel free to Pm me directly if you have questions. I always answer Pms plus I sometimes reply to comments. I love all of you guys who are supporting me through this! I appreciate every single vote and comment.
