Chapter 29. Hercules
Per usual, we appear at Jump-Chans Table. "You know you are inordinately patient, eleven jumps in and the only fights you've been in were stacked so into your favour that you couldn't possibly lose"
"Yep, a overenthusiastic Jumper ends up dead, especially with me planning to go to marvel magic and DC jumps. I will go there only when I'm absolutely certain that I'll get away alive if something tries to kill me and maybe even killing it in the process."
"A good mindset to have, I didn't, got a couple of my companions back when I was a widdle jumper like yourself killed. never understood why jumpers rushed so much, time is literally all you have left that I didn't give you."
"yep, and soon we will be gods. really weak gods but hey free Divinity is still divinity."
"Don't be so sure even in this world gods are more powerful than anything you have faced before, as you are now any of them could kill you, sure it'll take a lot of effort by them but still can. But once you get the divinity Perks you be pretty strong, considering you'll probably get Magic, War, Natural Elements, Death and Souls due to your own considerable skills with Necromancy, Master of Death Title and Soul Magic."
"Death and Souls really, will be Interesting, wonder if I can pull an Alucard and Imprison the people I killed in a personal afterlife style Pocket dimension, might work, could model them after the Norse Einherji. Maybe soul Magic will help liking my soul to it, and definitely pulling an Unlimited Blade Works With Creation, And Divinity of War. which if I'm not mistaken grants me Telumancy and increased mastery of any weapons I hold."
"all valid, good idea about the personal afterlife thing, most just go to Hellsing and get it there. UBW as well in Fate/stay Night instead of just thinking and getting it more easily."
"Yeah, Well what do you think of my small army, think it'll do great things if I gave them all Watchmaker from Doctor who and made earth a no supernatural zone in Marvel Magic for a decade?"
"That is a good idea, but still if something was determined enough to kill you orbital bombardments will still hurt you, The master of Death perk will probably help against physical death."
"Yep and Facts of Life from Doctor Who. Maybe a Anti Soul Manipulation Perks and a Impenetrable minds from Say young justice along with Time Lord From Doctor who, Mixed With master of Death. basically become a cockroach that can't in any circumstances be killed in one hit and then proceed to gain power. "
"good strategy, have fun though. I know what your planning this jump," Jump-Chan says as She faded away infinity war style this time.
"you do realise we understood maybe one fourths of what you said correct?" Daphne asks now a grown ass woman of twenty four. we used up the remaining two wishes From Harry Potter and Dracula Untold to get my new companions my rings as well.
"Indeed, but you'll understand once we get to a more mundane Setting and get you Caught up with entertainment there, I could just give you my memories but that isn't as fun,".
"probably, but I need info on this setting, never watched the movie too busy fighting a war unlike Mr Demigod who could level countries over here." Ezra chimes in.
"I would if I could Ezra, but I know exactly Jack shit, except Hercules is apparently the Godly son of Zeus and Hera, who was stolen by Hades, and then stripped of divinity had to learn a lesson no one would tell him, to become worthy of his powers that he was born with. you know story of your life Ezra, and maybe Dani too." I say.
I watched like three Disney movies Before the Jump and that was Aladdin, Frozen and Moana. But I got the Gist from those three alone, generic good Guy character, generic musical villain who's probably dressed in red or black has some kind of Sidekick. There's probably the Honey Trap Love interest there somewhere, probably Reforms and dies trying to save said good guy, good guy cries and tears heal former honey trap current female lead. Good Guy awakens inner power whoops ass of Villain, and ascends to godhood. the end.
"you know, going into a world of God's and Monsters without any knowledge doesn't sit well with me." Dani chimes in.
"ladies, ladies, we've lived our first lives without any knowledge of the future and we survived, well relatively speaking, however this was and is a Disney movie universe, which is good, I'd never step foot in any Greek Myth based worlds without God Slaying weapons other wise. bunch of Cunts that the Greek gods tend to be." I say.
Its true, even in say Percy Jackson, Hera was completely Willing to kidnap and put a demigod on ice on a technically workable but ultimate lucky chance for seven goddamned months before mind wiping his ass. Zeus blew up a building Killing of God knows how many mortals just to kill Two of Hades's Children, and was willing to kill Percy because he was born and they were one of the nicer Myth based God's.
"That is True, for now make your choices, if suggest getting the God Race, and Olympian at the very least." I say once Done tell me your Choices. also take the Monster Magnet Drawback Everyone, you'll need the extra 400. CP. and tell me your choices and I'll input them."
"sure, Dorian, will get right on that." Sirius chimes in and they all take a seat at the table.
Around fifteen minutes later they've all made their choices.
"I decided to go with origin Support and Race God. Took the Monster Magnet Drawback, Innocent Soul for free with support, Immortality for free, Creation for a discounted 200. And Olympian for a discounted 300, in the Items section I choose, Support network for free with Support, quiver of thunderbolts for a discounted 100, and the Island for a discounted 200." Daphne says.
'The entire God perk tree and all support items,' good choices I say internally.
"I went with the Drop in origin and God race. Took peacebringer for Fee with Drop in. Immortality for free, creation for a discount 200. Olympian for a discount 300. the items, myths and legends for free, assets for a discount 100, and Greek Kingdom for a discount 200."
"I went with the Hero origin and God race. took the Perks True hero for free, immortality for free, Creation for a discount 200, and olympian for a discount 300. The items legendary jumper because well free, bag of spoils will help with monster magnet and all the monsters well end up killing, and Import my Weapons and armor into heroic gear and get a shield as well, and give us some of the godly material from this world to scan for discount 200."
"i went with the Villain origin and God Race. took Dread lord for free, Immortal, Creation and Olympian for a total 500, the items dressed to Opress cause it's free, monstrous minion and choose Nemean Lion for a discount 100, and took assets for 200. don't have a use for pool of souls. "
"excellent choices, While I could just give creation and Olympian, you needed to purchase them cause well jump fiat might now apply to the creation of life or the whole get domains for everything you are good at."
"understood," they all chimed in.
"I myself spent slightly over budget in this one. I went with the race God, my origin as Support, however the Origin really doesn't matter much. except for the free Perk. I took the Monster magnet Drawback for 400 CP giving me a total 1600. Got the Innocent Soul perk for free with Support. Potioneers for 200, Craftsman for 400, Myriad Appearance for 200, Immortality for free with God, Domain at a discount with God at 100, Choose Domain Knowledge, Creation at discount for 200, Olympian at discount for 300. and the item support network for free, totalling 1800 CP and reducing my bank by 200.
"You aren't usually willing to dip into the bank Dorian even with the what's it up to now 13000 CP you have banked up? Why use it here?" Dani asks. she's right I didn't want to use my Banked CP up, mostly because I needed a third of it for one jump in the near future.
"Well, I wanted the God tree in its entirety, and while I could get the Domain Knowledge on my own I don't know how to get it and 100 CP felt a small sacrifice. I'm pretty sure it'll boost my Sorcerer's tower by a bit, possibly, Potioneer and Craftsman because I don't have any Support Perks all offence or defence or neutrality enforcing ones, also with Potioneer and Craftsman, synergize with Olympian and I'll gain the domains of Crafts and Potions, so say I make a potion and you make the same potion using the same ingredients chances are mine will work a hundred times better, faster, stronger and last a hundred times longer as well. and I really need a blacksmithing perk, and craftsman will suffice. The Myriad appearance basically gives us Shapeshifting and with olympian that'll make us all gods of Shapeshifting and potentially remove that limitation."
"and you can give Daphne the Potioneer and Ezra the Crafting as well, Daphne always did potions well." Dani chimes in.
"yep so that's it and this is another vacation, world I suggest we walk around Greece and the earth, look at the Indian pantheon, maybe the Egyptians and Irish if we want to, and generally have fun, it's a Disney movie so the main character will probably have a happy ending regardless of our interference hence no need to interfere at all. A vacation world again with even less work than in previous world, perfect time to get our little army started on Elemental magic From Game of thrones and give them Ludicrously large mana Reserves don't you think?"
"You know I'd call you paranoid but after reading those comics back in Hancock I think your just being Wary enough." Dani says.
"Yep, and after magic going to give them all myriad appearance as well. just cause I want a two hundred thousand strong, Shapeshifting, asskicking mage army."
The others shake their heads at my antics, having gotten used to it in the past century or so in Dracula. My plans per Usual were actually Right on track it was indeed a vacation world, but we got a lot of good stuff out of it, such as Hydra blood which was an excellent poison, Centaur blood again Extremely effective acid based poison, I mastered forging Goblin Steel, and using Craftsman could make truly Wondrous things, most of the time I spent ruling beside Dani in our own little kingdom which was named as Althea. She was Queen and I was apparently King Consort, my wife's kingdom is progressive bitches. she was queen I was just the idiot married to her. Daph was our Potioneer, and Ezra made weapons for our armies, while Sirius was technically a free warrior who helped plus out whenever there was a monster attack and due to monster magnet that tended to be like every five days.
About our domains from Olympian, it turned out very specific instead of general, I was now The God of Weapons, War, Warriors, Magic, Lightning, Fire, Water, Earth, Crafts, Potions, Spears, Death, Souls, Innovation, Memory, Intelligence, Knowledge, Animals, and Shapeshifters.
Dani was now the Goddess of Rulers, Magic, Fire, Air, Lightning, Water, Spears, Dragons and Shapeshifters
Daphne was the goddess of Ice, Wind, Water, Magic, Daggers, potions and poisons.
Sirius was predictably enough the God of Darkness, Shadows, Magic, Earth, Heroes, Warriors, Canines and Shapeshifters
Ezra was the Goddess of Fire, Air, Scythes and Warrior Women, Magic and Shapeshifters
We all had the Magic Domain in common because after shared my Perks with them they are all nearly as good as me at using it, not as knowledge able considering I had nearly a quarter venture of advantage of Sirius, Ezra and Daphne. and my hypothesis about Olympian plus Myriad Appearance equalling shapeshifting Domain was true. The I could now easily shift into anything there were limits, I couldn't become a say three hundred meter tall fire breathing dragon, but I could become a hundred meter tall fire-breathing dragon.
That wasn't saying how much the other domains impacted me, when before I Could confidently say I was a demigod with a spear now I was actually a god with my spears. all my elemental magic consumed a tenth of the mana they used to and were ten times as powerful and effective. I could now Spam Hammer of the gods without any problems for at least seventeen to twenty times without issues.
War did indeed give me Telumancy, one look at a weapon, any weapon gave me knowledge, how it was forged, by whom was it forged, from what was it forged its entire history, its usual usage patterns, and its abilities and any enchantments or defects it may have. That along with Creation gave me the most amazing UBW knock off. Except mine was superior. I could recreate a weapon with all its enchantments and abilities and history, but I also improved in anything that could be used in any war or as a weapon. say I got a A Class enchanted weapon and recreated it, it would be AA in my hands. rising by a rank instead of deteriorating. and simultaneously removed anything that could be considered an imperfection in the weapon.
My Magic Domain was similar, I saw a spell and automatically deconstructed it, then proceed to improve it or create a counter to it. I was now certain I could create a personalised magic system in say a few decades max. Creating new spells became ridiculously easy. magic cost was reduced further than ever with the elemental domains. all my other Domains had similar abilities granted to me. Crafting especially made my Self taught Smithing so much better. Necromancy and Soul Magic went into another realm entirely, I could manipulate peoples souls from a Thousand miles away without any rituals or spell, just as easily as I manipulated fire or water. I believe my domain for animals came from my Farmville Jump.
Dani and I had a exercise for our magic domains. stand twenty feet apart, create a new spell and throw it at the other, the other would take control of said spell in flight change it into another new original spell and send it back. the first would the take control of the spell change it mid flight into another new spell and on and on we we go. Similarly the group came up with various exercises to master their domains and that was basically how the next decade went considering this little kingdom didn't exist I. Canon Hercules nor his little posse ever came here and we had minimal interaction with Canon.
