Chapter 1 - Awakening

AN: I pushed up the timeline of Harry Potter because I feel like having Gamer!Harry have his power for decades would not only be OP but the age difference would really limit the interactions that I want to happen between Harry and the demigods. Comment anything you'd like to see happen in this story! Criticism is welcome!

Disclaimer: I do not in any way, shape or form own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. I'm just havin' fun!

Ping!

A strange noise echoed through the cupboard awakening Harry from the most rejuvenating rest that he'd ever experienced in his nine years of life. Slowly he opened his eyes... then rubbed them vigorously. Right above his head was a glowing, transparent blue screen.

You have slept in your own bed, HP and MP have been restored to 100%. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.

Harry just stared at the glowing screen before, as though he was in a trance, reaching out to touch it; the box disappeared immediately. What... what was that?!

"Boy!" The shouting of his uncle broke him from his confused musings.

"C... Coming Uncle!" Harry shouted back, and then deftly got dressed in the tiny space that his cupboard provided him. Right after he had shrugged on the hideously worn out clothes his Aunt gave him, he rushed out of the cupboard with his head down lest he make eye contact with the wild animals that were his relatives while they were hungry and cranky. "What would you like for breakfast?"

"Bacon, eggs and toast! If any of it is a second late or in anyway ruined, you'll be toast as well!" Uncle Vernon then laughed at his own unfunny joke.

"I want mine sunny-side up!" Dudley, the whale that he was, said.

"Mine will be scrambled." Aunt Petunia, the proper giraffe that she was, primly stated.

"Of course." Harry said this with as much enthusiasm as he could muster, which was of course not very much at all. With these mandatory not-so-pleasantries exchanged Harry started to cook his family breakfast. As you could probably guess trying to cook when your mental facilities were otherwise preoccupied with the impossible events of the morning wasn't the best idea, so of course Harry burnt himself with the popping oil of the bacon. "Ouch!"

For a second Harry just stared at the impossible thing right in front of him. Unfortunately his relatives noticed his shock.

"What are you doing boy?! Catching flies?" After another short chortle at his own joke, Vernon was back on Harry's case. "You're going to make Dudders late school! Hurry it up!"

Harry pushed all his thoughts to the side and focused on making breakfast. After finishing with making breakfast he got all of the food onto four seperate plates and turned around to serve his family. Only to almost drop the plates in shock at what he saw floating above the heads of his family.

Vernon Dursley - Grunnings Worker

Lv - 7

Petunia Dursley - Gossip Queen

Lv - 5

Dudley Dursley - Bully

Lv - 1

For a second he just stared at the floating words until finally he snapped himself out of it, gave his family their breakfast and rushed out of the house to school. He didn't allow himself to think about anything that happened this morning until he was outside of the house lest his relatives notice.

The short walk to Farview Elementary was when he finally allowed himself to question what the hell was going on, What is going on? I know it was real! I'm not crazy but what could it be? My life is a video game? I don't know anything about video games! His thoughts were answered with a...

YES/NO?

Hesitantly as though the glowing screen was going to bite, Harry pressed yes. The screen disappeared faded into nothingness and Harry went on his way, not thinking about how he was possibly crazy, only focusing on getting to school and finding a game obssessed kid to grill.

Harry walked in to class and saw that he had a good twenty minutes before anyone showed up so he decided to do what any child would do when they were handed a game... play with it. So he walked to his desk at the back of the room, sat down and started to experiment.

The first thing Harry did was try to access his skills. He knew that he had skills other than being able to resist fire, or at least he hoped he had skills other than [Heat Resistance].

"Skills." A large red screen popped up, it was basically a scrolling list with only three things on it.

- Gamer's Body, Lv - MAX

Grants you a body that is able to live life like it were a video game!

- Gamer's Mind, Lv- MAX

Grants you a peaceful mind, immunity to psychological status effects and powerful occlumency shields!

-Heat Resistance, Lv-1 (10%)

Your ability to resist all forms of heat! This includes not only the heat of fire but also the heat of things like lightning!

5% less damage taken from heat and heat based attacks!

Harry stared at the last of his skills and started to wonder. I got [Heat Resistance] when I exposed myself to heat... so are there other kinds of resistance? Harry decided to put this to the dest, he placed his upside-down hand flat against his desk and with the other hand reached into the desk to pull out a pencil. Then, taking a breath and closing his eyes, Harry stabbed the pencil into his palm. He gave a yelp that was quickly drowned out by a...

Does... does this mean that eventually I'll be completely immune to physical damage? Harry might have only been nine but even he saw the advantages of being literally invincible. This train of thought stopped when he remembered the other thing that he saw this morning, do I have a name floating above my head like Uncle Vernon? Harry jumped from his desk and rushed out of the classroom to the bathroom just down the hall. As he opened the door of the bathroom the first thing that he layed eyes on was the mirror and sure enough right above his head was:

Harry Potter - The Gamer

Lv 1

The Gamer sounded like an idiotic title to Harry but he didn't think that whatever mystical entity gave him this power would appreciate the commentary so he kept his mouth shut. Where did these powers come from?

Yes/No?

While he pressed the yes button all Harry could think was, oh god, there's question marks in the descriptions now? I still don't even understand what's happening without the question marks! Harrys internal rant was cut off by the piercing ring of the school bell. Of course like the good little child he was Harry followed the implied directive the school bell signified and walked back to class. On the way to class Harry quite a few school kids running around the halls with their levels and titles just hanging there in space always perfectly above their heads. This is going to take some getting used to.

Stepping through the door of his class Harry saw exactly what he was looking for sitting in the desk directly to the left of his own.

Dennis Sones - Obsessive Gamer

Lv 1

Quickly sitting down in his own desk Harry decided to get his very first quest out of the way. "Dennis, you like games right?"

"Uh... yeah... yeah I do." Dennis was obviously caught off guard by the impromptu question.

"Well, I just got this new game and was wondering if you could help me out?"

"Sure! What kind of game is it?"

"Uh, it's a game where you get quests and skills and stuff like that."

"Oh! That sounds like an RPG, a Role Playing Game. What's the status of your character?"

"Status?" Obviously coming to to Dennis was an incredibly smart thing to do, because right as the word slipped past Harry's lips a translucent brown window popped up in front of him.

"...arry. Harry!"

"S... Sorry! I... Uh just remembered something that happened this morning. What is was it that you asked?"

Dennis looked at him a little strangely but continued on with his question. "What's the status of your character?"

Harry proceded to list off the stats of his character, including the question marks, of course he left out the description of his life. "What do the question marks mean?"

"They either mean that you have to be a higher level than you are to know, or that it's a quest to learn more about yourself!" What Dennis said turned out to be true, and presented itself with an odd ring.

Harry just looked at the quest before him for a second, and then pressed yes. If failure means death, then so does complaceny. After this somber thought met it's close Harry focused back on Dennis.

"What does the line about points mean?"

"That's the points that you can use to upgrade any of your attributes, you know the intelligence, vitality and all that. But you should know that you need to save those points for when you really, really need them! The number of points you get is going to be constant but the difficulty of leveling up attributes is going to rise really fast."

"Okay, so don't spend points, and train. Any other advice?"

"Always carry around health potions in your inventory!"

"What's an inventory?" Harry didn't really need to ask this question, seeing as a huge white screen opened in front of his as soon as he spoke the word inventory.

"It's like a space where you can put anything! It's really awesome, you don't know how many times I've wished that I could actually have an inventory in real life."

"Y... Yeah, it sounds like an awesome power to have. Thanks for the help, Dennis."

"No problem Harry." With that they turned their attention to the front of the class where the teacher, Mrs. Abbley, was writing down some math problems. Harry's attention though was quickly stolen by a:

Harry swiped the box away, but it was quickly replaced by another one.

For deep thoughts, critical thinking and learning about your situation, you gain +2 INT

and +2 WIS

Harry checked his status window and sure enough:

INT - 3(+2)=6

WIS - 3

What really interested Harry though was that his mana bar had changed as well!

Mana - 600/600

So... for every point of intelligence I have, I gain 100 points of mana? Does everyone have this much mana? What about health, which stat affects health points? I wonder... I've created skills before, so I should be able to create a skill that lets me see other peoples stats. I just have to... observe them intensely?

So, that's what Harry did. He picked a person, Mrs. Abbley and focused on trying to see her stats. It took a second, and Harry was sure that if he had stared that intently at her body for any longer people would call him a perv. But it payed off!

Observe - Health, Mana and Info

Yes! I did it! Something occured to Harry, do I have to say the skill's name aloud or can I just think it? [Observe]. A blue window popped up in front of his face.

Jenna Abbley

Great Teacher

Lv - 5

Health - 600/600

Mana - 0/0

Jenna Abbley is an amazing teacher, she works at Farview elementary and loves every moment of it! She recently broke up with a cheating boyfriend and is on the market, so watch out fellas!

I have half as much health as her but I have way more mana. I thought mana was how you attack... does that mean I'm the most dangerous thing in the room? For a second no other thought passed through Harry's head until... Awesome! I''m already on my way to being able to protect myself.

The rest of the day passed in a blur of thought as Harry basically ignored his teacher in favor of daydreaming about the training he was going to be doing after school. Little did Harry know, the training he would be doing after school would be the least of his worries.
