Authors Note:
Newly updated rules. So for voting, you can vote in multiple comments. But you can only say one name. For instance, if you vote for Rachel in one comment but decide later you also want Thalia and Hera in the harem you can make another comment saying their names. You CANNOT say Rachel again. Thank you for your continued support and votes! I am watching My hero academia right now so maybe I will bring some things over from there? You will have to read to find out ;). Just so you know by the time I am done with this Percy will be broken af. Don't worry it won't happen for a long time. I plan to have him able to swipe a finger and a primordial and disintegrate them by the time he fights Kronos. A heads up, when the third person point of view comes in, get ready for an epic fight ;)
The Top 5 girls will be chosen for the harem!
Candidates:
Artemis- 21
Hestia- 15
Zoe- 16
Thalia- 10
Hera- 10
Chaos- 6
Calypso- 9
Bianca- 5
Rachel- 1
Aphrodite- 1
Piper- 1
PerzoeOTP: Btw, can you tell us when votes will no longer count?
Okay so basically if you voted for Hestia, then as soon as she officially joins the harem votes for her will no longer count. I plan on having her as one of the main girls anyways but if she gets super outvoted(which I doubt will happen with the way votes have turned out) she would be removed from the harem list. Honestly, I am surprised Hera has gotten so many votes XD
Previously
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.
Now
"Can you teach me necromancy?" I asked her. She blinked at me a few times before replying, "t-that's it? You aren't going to punish me for trying to kill you? Like, at all?" She asked in a worried tone. I frowned. "I am pretty sure the way I killed you myself was punishment enough unless of course, you want punishment?" I asked teasingly. I was surprised when a light pink blush adorned her cheeks. "N-no master. I am just surprised is all." She replied. "So can you teach me necromancy or not Ragna?" She nodded, "Yes if you have compatible mana, wait how did you know my name?" She questioned. I smiled cheekily, "Just one of my powers, now what did you mean by compatible mana?" I responded, questioning her further.
"Well from what my own master taught me, every being born with mana is more compatible with some types of mana than others. In some cases even being completely averted from some forms of it. For instance, a person who has a really high affinity for fire-type mana would be completely incompatible with water mana. There are many forms of mana, the main ones are Fire, Water, Earth, Space, Lightning, Darkness, Light, Wind, Death, Life, and Time. All other mana types are derived from these main types. For example, ice mana comes from a high knowledge of water mana. The ability to manipulate storms is from the combination of lightning and water mana. Space and Time mana are extremely rare. While almost all immortals have some form of space mana inside them, which gives them the ability to nearly instantaneously travel to wherever they want, then there is their ability to summon whatever they want to their location. But that is the complete extent of their ability to use space mana. Even rarer although just as powerful as space mana, is time mana. There are only two users of that, which are the primordial and titan of time respectively." She explained, took a few breathes, then continued. "It seems like you have an affinity for space mana, since you can summon things, and you definitely have an affinity for water mana. Honestly, I have no clue if you would even be able to learn necromancy." She finished. I just sat there for a few minutes taking it all in.

I smiled looking at my stats. My mana had gone up a lot since my increase in intelligence, also I had more than quintupled my intelligence and tripled my wisdom. I remembered the reason why I opened my stats in the first place and clicked on my mana.
Mana-350/350(+50 Mp per level)
Mana Affinities: Due to being the Champion of #!*&^ you have an affinity for every mana in existence. You can learn any type of mana.
My jaw dropped. I could learn ANYTHING?! How overpowered is that! Well, I mean I had to find a way to learn everything, but still! I had infinite possibilities in mana. I snapped out of my thoughts to see Ragna looking at me curiously, I smiled at her. "I doubt I will have a problem. Learning it. Now I must go back to my school before it gets too late." I said and activated my Soul Enslavement skill, making her vanish into smoke. I ran as fast as I could towards the exit. After a few minutes of running, I finally found it and exited the dungeon. It was dark outside and the few stars visible were out.
New Notification!
I clicked on it to see what it was.
Due to completing Lvl 5 Labyrinth dungeon, you have unlocked a fast travel point!
A fast travel point? Meaning I can teleport here? I wonder what I needed to actually be able to teleport. Pushing that thought into the back of my head I ran back to Yancy as fast as I could. I got back and saw the security guard sitting at his desk reading a magazine. He did not have a drink near him so I looked around to see what I could do to distract him. Finding a large rock I threw it at the gate as hard as I could. He got startled and quickly grabbed his flashlight. As soon as he went towards the fence to check out the noise I jumped over the gate and ran inside the school. I headed into a boys bathroom and used my powers to quickly clean all the sweat and blood off my person. Peaking out of the boy's bathroom I crept back to my dorm.
PING!
Skill has leveled up once!

I passed by Mr. Brunner's(Who is actually Chiron) office. I heard him having the same talk with Grover that I did in my first life. Good to know I won't be asked any questions when I get back to my dorm. I knew they were discussing when to take me to camp so I just kept creeping back to my room. After I got back to my dorm I quickly changed into pajamas. I sighed happily as I sank into my bed. I fell asleep and entered the first demigod dream of this life.
Dream Start
I stood inside a cozy home the location of which I did not know. I willed myself to float over to the windows and looked outside. There was a lush forest with many animals roaming about. Before I could take in any more details a voice sounded behind me. "Ah Perseus, I was wondering when you would come to visit me." I turned around to see a man shrouded in what looked like pure darkness sipping a cup of coffee. He walked over to the couch and sat down. Slowly the darkness around him started to disappear, he looked as average as a person could get. He wore a baggy hoodie and some black workout pants. His face was covered by a hood, and despite the hood not reaching far enough out the top half of his face was still covered in darkness. Only his mouth, with a smile displayed, showed. His head turned towards me. "W-who are you? Where are we? How can you see me?" I asked in rapid succession. He chuckled slightly. "Well, monsters and deities can sense you when you have a demigod dream can they not? For someone of my power to see you in your dream state is even more simple than breathing." He replied and took a sip of his coffee. "Now where we are is an easy answer as well. We are in my home at the center of the universe. Now as to who I am, well, I am the one who gave you the power of the game as well as sent you back in time." He replied. This is the guy who gave me my new powers and sent me back? But he looked even weaker than I do. I thought to myself. His smile widened and a joyous laugh came from his mouth. "Looks can be deceiving Perseus. Yes, I am the one who gave you your powers. Despite my appearance that was also a simple matter for me." He replied to my thoughts.
"Soooo, " I drawled, "Why have you brought me here, sir?" I asked nervously. He kept the same smile and replied, "I did not bring you here my dear champion. Our connection did. You have progressed far more than I had expected honestly. It is hard to believe in just a few days your connection to the power I granted you have grown to the point where you can reach me in a place only Chaos and I have access to. You truly have the potential to become a singularity." I looked at him confused, " What is a singularity?" I questioned. He frowned slightly as if just realizing what he had said. "I am sorry but you are not powerful enough to learn about that yet. Maybe once you are able to go against an Elder God I will tell you." He replied. I was even more confused and worried. I barely managed to beat Ares on my first quest, then I barely beat a weakened Hyperion during the Battle of Manhattan in my previous life. How could I ever fight against someone like my father or uncles?
He responded to my thoughts, " Train and grow. That is all you can do. No matter how long it takes, do not let the mistakes of your past become your future once more. I have given you a chance to start over. Very few get a second chance, and literally, nobody gets sent back in time for a redo. Well, at least not in this universe." He ended his somewhat uplifting speech on a cryptic note. In this universe? Is he talking about a multiverse or something? Like other versions of me? I thought to myself. My only response was a knowing smile on his face. "It seems like you are waking up, remember, you are MY champion. You are above fate! You now have the power to control your own destiny. Use it well, my champion." He said as my dream slowly faded into darkness. My last image of my strange patron was him drinking his coffee once more while looking on a phone I had never seen before.
Dream End
I woke up and looked over at my clock. It said 6:30 A.M. I hung my legs over the bottom bunk and stared down at my hands. My patron was right. I am free from the fates, no longer their toy. I will never let anyone control my life like that again. Never again. I will save everyone I failed the first time. I repeated those words in my head over and over again. Clenching my hands tightly, gaining confidence in those words. It felt like my whole body was being filled with power. I stared out into the distance, eyes glowing with a newfound light. Determination filled my body, will power overflowing. "I will defeat Kronos. And not even the fates themselves will stop me." I said to no one in particular. But I knew that names had power. I knew the ones responsible for my suffering in the past had heard my challenge. Even if they did not know it was me that said it. They knew someone would come to challenge them, but no matter how much they prepared. They would lose.
Authors Note:
I am so sorry this took so long to upload. I kind of went through a writer's block spell, as well as becoming lazy due to some personal things that happened last week. I got very depressed and lost my motivation. BUT, I AM BACK. I will be writing the next chapter after work later today(it is like 3 am when I am writing this I need to get to sleep soon XD). I will be doing longer chapters, hopefully. The next chapter will include some time skips since I don't repetitive training until he goes to the museum. The next chapter will be the fight against Alecto for sure. It would have been this chapter but I did not have time to write 5k words for this. I appreciate every single person who has stayed here this long and has waited patiently for this chapter. I love you all!
