Waking up from… whatever the game did was definitely strange, but it did confirm that everything that happened wasn't some messed up delusion created by my subconscious to help ease me into death, but I couldn't help but wonder what was happening when I awoke, mainly because I was sitting in a bus full of kids, time frozen around me and a large blue textbox in front of me
Welcome to the Percy Jackson and The Olympians Universe.
Currently you are on the bus taking Yancy Academy to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the start of the books plot.
Your Background: You were born in this world to a single mother who told the doctors your father died before you were born, your mother lived until you were 4 years old before dying and you were sent to live with her sister, whom has been abusive towards you for the past 8 years, and has sent you to boarding schools so she doesn't have to put up with you. Earlier this year, you were transferred to Yancy Academy and has gained a reputation of being a loner and never talking to anyone with the exception of Percy Jackson and Grover Underwood.
That really doesn't help, most demigods get told their godly parent died before their birth, and unless my mother was referring to Hades or Iapatus then it could really be anyone, sighing lightly, I clicked off of that text box as another appeared behind it.
Multiple skills have Been added to your Skill List, however all skills correlating to your godly parent has been locked until you have been claimed.
Due to your Godly Parent, Class has already been selected, please choose a specification out of the options below:
[Illusionist[Necromancer[Thief[Assassin[Ranger]
Please Note; that choosing a specification only increases your skills that link with your specification.
Damn, but since these link in with my father he has to be some darkert type God, but that is a long list of deities and i'm not sure most of them fall into the average of my stats.
Shaking those thoughts away, i look over the five options. I like the idea of being an Illusionist, the ability to fuck with peoples heads without having to do something is way to over powered, just look at Itachi from Naruto, probably the best genjutsu user the world had.
I'd rather not be a necromancer, because, while I like the idea of just sitting back and relaxing while fighting, having other people fight my battles for me is just plain boring.
Thieves are fun to play as they have high sneak skills, amazing pickpocketing abilities and can cause a shit ton of mayhem, but thats in video games, and while pickpocketing may be a skill I need in the future,it's not a main priority right now.
Assassins are, again, fun to play as, being able to kill people without them knowing ive killed them is fun, plus assassins are highly skilled and are basically better thieves, but again, assassins can be boring with the whole, stick to the shadows thing they've got going on.
Finally is ranger, which is a definite maybe. Ranger, as the name suggests, fight from a distance, normally with guns or bows, but have very little to do with up close and personal fighting. While i do like fighting from a range, im probably not gonna be picking this, as it has the least amount of bonuses available.
Thinking it through, I selected the Assassin Specification Class, mainly because they've all the other specifications rolled into one, and because it'll be the most fun to play as.
You have selected the Assassin specification.
Class Gained:
[Assassin] - Lv 1/100
Gain 2 Charisma and 3 Dexterity and Endurance Per Level
Multiple Skills Gained
Thank you for finishing the tutorial, the game will begin now.
With that, the text boxes disappeared and time restarted.
As time retarted around me the world came to live, the bus rumbled as it moved, noise erupted around me from my fellow students, cars whizzing past, the thunder rumbling quietly in the sky, it made me slightly deaf for a second before my ears adjusted to the sudden noise.
In this moment of deafness, i took a glance at where i was situated on the bus, as it turns out, I was sitting alone in the back of the bus, in the corner, it seems me being a loner was correct, but apparently I was the 'scary loner type' as people would glance over at me every few seconds before quickly averting their eyes.
As this was happening I took to examining what I was wearing, which seemed to be a pair of ripped black jeans with an ipod and a set of earbuds inside the pocket which I instantly put in, somewhat relieved when music from my world started playing, a pair of black converse high tops, a plain black jumper and, surprisingly, Jewellery, it appeared that my ears had been pierced at some point, from the information placed in my head of my backstory.
Apparently I'd done them myself with a needle a couple years ago, after saving up enough money to buy a shitty pair of earrings, not only this but i had a long silver chain around my neck that had a black cross hanging off of it, apparently, it was my father's before he died, and my aunt refused to touch it which is interesting
However any peace I had was destroyed in a few minutes as soon the bus pulled to a stop and Alecto called for everybody to leave the bus. As we slowly exited the bus, one row at a time, I instantly notice the glare see levels at Percy when he walked past, though, she seemed to have the exact opposite attitude when I walked past as she sent me the nicest smile she could muster.
As we walked around the museum I kept my attention solely on Percy and Grover, my music blasting through the earphones I was wearing, not particularly caring about the lessons we were being taught by Chiron
It was about an hour into our trip when Chiron pulled us into the Greek section of the Museum, specifically to where the stele depicting the fall of Kronos was kept, as we neared it, I silently took the earphones out of my ears and started paying attention, something that caught both Chirons and Alectos attention, not that either of them openly displayed their curiosity at the action, but since they were surrounded by mortals they let their guards down enough for me to tell
Despite the obvious depiction of his father's demise, Chiron went on to explain about the other things in the room first, the Trojan War, The Odyssey, The labours of Herakles, before he turned his attention to the main reason for this trip, just as Percy's voice echoed through the room.
Now, I personally, had no opinion of Nancy Bobofit, but from what knowledge io was given, the previous me that 'existed' here, was effectively courted by the bobofit girl, in some weird attempt to get some dark, mysterious boyfriend. It didn't work out well for her and left her humiliated, even more so when her attempts at bullying were completely ineffective against the past me.
So while I don't have an opinion of her, my character does, one that i have to stick with. Which was why, while Percy answered Chiron's question about the image on the stele, i was thinking of ways to get back at Nancy, io was Percy's 'friend' after all.
Which was why I was blindsided when Chiron turned his question on why it was important in real life, to me instead of sticking to just Percy. I paused slightly before making a move to answer, everyone quieting down when Chiron called on me.
"It's important to learn from the stories, don't go back on your word, Jason and his marriage to Medea, Don't anger those more powerful than you, Odysseus' Odyssey, There's a fine line between love and war, The Iliad. If we learn from the stories of the past we shouldn't make them in the future, if we don't then history will repeat itself." I paused in my speech and looked Chiron in his ancient eyes, "Is that the answer you were hoping for, Mr. Brunner?"
If anything, Chiron's eyes twinkled more at the question as a smile broke across his face, "Excellently put Mr. Rose. If we can not learn from the stories of the past, how do we progress to the future. Full credit Mr. Rose, Mr. Jackson. Now, I do believe it's time for lunch, Mrs Dodds, if you would lead us back outside."
instantly, the Fury in disguise turned away from the crowd and lead the students away from the room, I was soon to follow them before I heard Chiron's voice "Mr. Rose, a word before you leave."
For a split second, I thought my cover was blown, that Chiron knew that I knew that I was a demigod, but instead the centaur smiled "This is the first time you've committed yourself to your studies Mr. Rose, what's brought this change?" I thought for a second, my previous self never committed to his lessons, just listening to music on his ipod shuffle or sleeping instead, he didn't care about learning because he was smart enough to pass with ease, the blood of my godly father coming into play there.
so , sticking to my character as much as I cared to, I simply shrugged and placed the earphones back in my ears, bringing out the device as I walked and pressing play on my song. Chiron just chuckling as he followed me out, which led me directly to the scene of Percy summoning the water to pull Nancy into fountain and Alecto go screeching over and pulling him back inside the museum.
The weird part was, was that, when Nancy walked past me, she fell flat on her face, supposedly tripping on nothing while my mana dropped by 1 MP, strange.
It wasn't long before Chiron disappeared back into the museum and a perky blonde woman that I could only assume to be Mrs. Kerr appeared on a bench, she didn't even blink at the sudden change leading me to believe that the Blonde woman was just a construction of Mist created Chiron.
It was only seconds after Chiron went into the museum did he exit once again, parking his wheelchair in the same position it was in before he entered, and settling in that position as if nothing had happened, though I did notice that he turned his head to look at me with squinted eyes clearly thinking about something before turning his eyes back to the book he was reading.
I took this moment of peace to approach the nervous looking Grover, I would need to take a look at my skills soon, because nobody seemed to notice me move, and Grover, a satyr with enhanced senses still jumped in surprise when he saw me, and for a minute, i swear i saw a set of numbers appear above his head.
"Silver" he exclaimed dragging the attention of the people closest to us who turned around as soon as they noticed me, "You scared me there" i didn't reply straight away, my thoughts were distracted by a skill that had appeared in a text box just in my peripheral vision, silently casting 'Observe' Grovers stats appeared next to him

Grove was… pretty weak, but then again, this is just the start of canon. Focusing back onto Grover i felt like id kept him in silence for long enough, even if it was just a few seconds, "He'll be fine in there, Percy's… strong" it was strange hearing my voice when talking now, my voice was monotone and dull, and didn't really express any emotion
Grover looked at me slightly surprised, sure I was friends with Percy and to a degree Grover, my past self never really went out of his way to express his thoughts about either of them.
Grover didn't reply instantly, turning his eyes fearfully back to the museum doors in time for a confused, haggard Percy to exit where, Grover let out a breath of air and nodded slightly "Yeah, yeah he is"
It was at this moment when Percy started to make his way over to us that i finally took a seat next to Grover, this trip would end soon and then we would have to return to school, in the books, it was never said at what point this field trip took place in the school year, but from what I knew, we only had a month or two before school ended, which was good as they would hopefully fly by.
"Silver?" Percy's voice broke my thoughts when he was close enough, a small nervous smile on his as he came over "What are you doing over here?" it seemed that Percy went to see Chiron before Grover so he was probably already suspicious of Mrs. Kerr
"I was telling Grover that Mrs. Kerr wouldn't be to harsh on you and not to worry." both Grover and Percy were startled at the name, Percy's eyes widened in shock and slight suspicion, while Grovers eyes were a mix of worry and shock, this was fun, i'll enjoy messing with him and Chiron these next few weeks
Grover however, was quick to jump onto my sentence as he smiled nervously and confirmed my thoughts before dragging Percy into a random conversation which i made no part to be a part of, instead, taking a look at Percy's stats
Perseus 'Percy' Jackson (Child of Prophecy)

Species - Demigod (Greek - Poseidon - Doubles stats when in water)
Mentor - None
Alignment - Chaotic Good
HP - 340/340

On just raw power, percy was pretty strong right now, especially since he had absolutely zero training like other demigods, of course, his intelligence wasn't that high, naturally, but he was cunning and that's what mattered.
It was soon after Percy returned that the tour around the Museum ended and we returned to Yancy, leaving me to my own thoughts about what would happen in the coming weeks
Two months passed and school was coming to an end, meaning now was the time for me to inform Chiron that I knew about the mythological world. Not much had happened in the past months, Percy went about confused as to who Mrs. Kerr is and making references to Mrs. Dodds but nobody knew who she was
Other than that, I kept being the anti-social self my past version was, which was a good thing as it meant I could improve myself, sitting alone in the library, reading, was a good way to advance my INT and WIS stats, running around the school, doing push ups, etc were good ways to increase my STR, END and DEX stats.
Although talking to people increases my Charisma, i haven't really forced myself to interact with people so my Charisma has only risen naturally by a few
Not only was being alone good for passively increasing my stats but I spent most of my time in an ID:World, luckily the world spawned weapons for me to fight with, which was good, but I did learn something… annoying. Learning skills that require magic can only be created or learned through having a high enough INT stat, being taught ity or getting it from a spellbook.
Which would be great if spellbooks were often to come across, but unfortunately, they weren't and finding a magic teacher would be annoying in this world as i would have to learn from either a child of Hecate or Hecate herself, well, there are other magic wielders in this world, the Norse and the Egyptians, but learning from them so soon after entering the demigod world would be suspicious
So while I haven't learned any new skills magic based, physical skills were easy to obtain, sword-fighting, spear-fighting, Archery, Daggers, Knives, Axes and Hatchets and guns were some of the skills I'd gotten, all of them levelling up quickly thanks to the perks given to me from the Assassin specification
Moving on from skills, i had levelled 9 times putting me at level 10 and had sorted out the points given to me, with them being 3 stat points per level, as well as a Gacha token, which I had been saving until I had free time to use, and since I'll be leaving soon, it'd probably be best to do them now.
Calling for my inventory, a large screen with an unlimited storage space inside, I grab out the small golden coins, watching as the inventory shift into a large spinning wheel, thousands of different sections attached to it with writing so small i couldn't even see what was said on them
Seeing a large 'Press Here' appear in a box in front of me, i follow the games instructions and tap the box, watching as it unfolds into a larger text box
Welcome to the Gacha Wheel
Where you can spend a gacha token and receive something random from the Gacha Wheel, anything Magic Types to Armour is situated on this wheel, what will you gain?!
To spin the Gacha Wheel, simple flip a Gacha token towards the wheel and the currency will be accepted, spinning the wheel
Good Luck Gamer.
(Quick A/N here guys. I'm putting this here to inform you all that this is actually randomised, I have a massive list of things from other animes, books, etc and put them all on a spinning wheel in a random order, so you guys know that I can't really control what he gets from the Gacha Wheel)
Clicking of the text box, I take one of the coins in my right hand, flipping it towards the colourful wheel as it dissolves and the wheel begins a psychedelic and long spin, before eventually stopping on one of the random compartments of the wheel, a blue text box appearing in front of me yet again, with Big Bold words splayed across it that shook me
Darkness God Slayer Magic (Fairy Tail)
I didn't get a moment of rest as a thick black book appeared in my lap as the text box dissolved, hesitantly, I used observe on the book in front of me
Darkness God Slayer Magic
Rarity: World Item
Description: A book containing the secrets to Darkness God Slayer magic, that teaches and allows the reader to become the Darkness God Slayer.
I almost fainted, i had been updated on the rarity system from the game a few days after my arrival and i went into the ID:World for the first time
The rarity system was fairly common, You started with a Common Rarity, then Uncommon, Rare, Ultra Rare, Exotic, Legendary and then World Items. Legendary items were difficult to come across but not impossible, and were really powerful, but a world item meant that this was the only copy of the book in existence.
Tapping the book, i got another textbox asking if i wanted to assimilate the book but I cancelled that for now, i would do that after meeting chiron, i still had 8 of these tokens. Flicking the next token, i wait until the textbox appears
Outburst (My Hero Academia)
This time, instead of a book appearing it was a small, green crystal ball, from the name of it I could faintly remember something about an outburst from My Hero Academia, but not vividly, so like before I cast observe on the crystal
Outburst
Rarity: Uncommon
Description: The ability to force people to laugh hysterically, a quirk owned by Emi Fukukado, also known as the Pro Her, Mrs. Joke.
While not as powerful as my first prize, it could be useful, as well as embarrassing, and was definitely something I could use to my advantage in the future. Moving on i grabbed the next coin and flipped it in, 7 to go.
'Excalibur' Rapidly (Highschool DxD)
I definitely recognised the blaze that appeared before me, one of the seven Excalibur fragments from highschool DxD, the part of Excalibur that increases the users speed. It was cool, but not useful, and from the quotation marks around the name Excalibur it just proves my theory correct, that the church never actually had excalibur since the Tale of King Arthur was Celtic and because Sir. Gawyne threw it back to the lady of the lake upon Arthur's death. Sighing to myself, i threw the sword in my inventory and flicked another 4 gacha tokens towards the machine
Ring of Minor Strength (Skyrim)
Amulet of Improved Archery (Skyrim)
White Lion Summoning Contract (Naruto)
Captain America's Shield (Marvel)
The first two were both boring and useless, i wouldn't be using either of them, so they'd stay in my inventory, The White Lion Summoning Contract from the naruto universe is cool and i'll probably sign it soon just to have an animal to command, and finally Captain America's shield.
I… wasn't really impressed with the shield at all, I would never use it and because of the… many Marvel universes it was just listened as a common item, if anything i'd sooner mount it on my wall, in fact, I probably will do.
I only had to gacha tokens left and since throwing for items in at once worked, I threw the two coins in as well, honestly, part of me wants this to be over with while part of me doesn't, mainly because I want to get my meeting with chiron out of the way so I can assimilate the Darkness God Slayer spellbook.
Nothung (Demon Sword)
Light Devil Slayer Magic (Fairy Tail)
While none of the last 4 items interested me, the two I received then were amazing. Light Devil Slayer Magic. That would be powerful, especially combined with the Darkness God Slayer Magic, plus when I absorb these spells i'll get a bad ass tattoo like the God and Devil slayers from the show, but the one from the two to truly interest me was Nothung
Nothung, from what i remember, was another name for the Demon Sword Gram from Norse Mythology, but if it was the Demon Sword Gram, it would simply be named that, meaning that Nothing contains a part of the original Gram, either it's Dragon slaying properties, its durability or its sharpness, and from the gleaming edge of the blade, I would bet it the blades sharpness.
Collecting the two new items and throwing them in my inventory with the rest, I exit the room I was in and wander the halls of Yancy academy before eventually finding myself outside of Chiron's office, knocking on the door and waited a second before the centaur bid me inside.
Chiron's office was plain, the walls were white, and the room was spacious so his wheelchair could fit, as well as a long mahogany desk with a computer situated on it as well as a pile of paper. When I entered the room, the centaurs eyes widened in slight surprise but he smiled earnestly
"Mr. Rose, a surprise to see you, what can I do for you on the last day at school?" he seemed honest, like he genuinely cared and I could agree that he did, his emotions said so, but I wasn't coming here to play games, I wanted to get to camp as soon as possible.
Taking a seat across from him, i sat silently for a second, staring him in the eyes, before answering calmly "I know about Greek Mythology being real, and I assume that you do as well considering that you and Grover are in chorts together."
Chirons eyes widened slightly as a small bit of panic entered, before he controlled his face and replied in a kind voice "I've no idea what your ta0"
I cut him off, i want to leave "at the museum a perky blonde woman by the name of Mrs. Kerr appeared from seemingly nowhere and everyone coincidentally forgets about the fury, Mrs. Dodds, or whom I would guess to be Alecto, Grover isn't a good actor and his goat legs have been spotted by me many times in the past year, and you haven't exactly been subtle as i've seen you enter your Centaur form before."
Chiron sighed, and nodded his head as he watched me, saying nothing as I continued. "Since there are no prominent Centaurs in Greek Mythology, i'd assume you were Chiron, but then id wonder what Chriosn was doing in a school of all places instead of training heroes, but then my thoughts occured and I deduced that a demigod was probably here, and since you focus on myself and Percy the most out of all your students I'd come to the conclusion that we were demigods. The question I have, however, is what happens now?"
The centaur sighed deeply, massaging his forehead as he mumbled something beyond my comprehension, before looking up at me with a small smile
"You always were the clever one." the centaur shifted slightly before continuing "There is a camp in Long Island called Camp Half-blood, where demigods are trained to be heroes." I nodded in understanding to the centaurs explanation before he continued "Preferably you'd go there, where you'll be safe from the monsters of our world, if you do come, you'll have the option to be a year-round camper of only stay for the summer, returning to school for the school year."
Once again, I nodded "I'll go to this camp, it'll be better than staying with my aunt." beyond that Chiron explained that i could not tell percy yet and that grover was going to tell him today and that he would call for somebody to take me to Long Island
meanwhile , I headed back to my room to assimilate the spells I had.
So that's it for this chapter guys. I hope the ending didn't feel to rushed, but I wanted to start his life at camp as soon as possible.
As I mentioned earlier, the Gacha Wheel is completely randomised spinning wheel I created and if you have any suggestions for things to add to it, make sure to let me know. I'm trying to keep a healthy balance between having powerful things and weaker things but I have a load of things really powerful, like multiple versions of God/Dragon/Devil slayer Magics etc and as you can see, sometimes he'll get multiple powerful things. He did receive another two slayer magics but I thought they wouldn't be apricated so early on so I dropped them for another two items.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed,
See Ya Next Time,
ImASickBoi
