This is my FIRST ever fanfic. I have never written anything before. So I really hope you guys will read this and let me know how I can improve. Thank you so much for reading!
Warning: Rated M for adult concepts including sex, gore, blood, monsters (demons, witches etc), and just an pure badass OP Percy. :)
I had no clue what was happening. As I stared at the stars in the sky, a cool breeze washed over me causing me to shiver. I tried to move, but I couldn't even feel my body. I tried to look around and noticed there a large wooden door in front of me. There was a lamp on either side of the door lit by a candle inside them. I closed my eyes and tried to remember how I got here.
Suddenly, the scene before me shifted to Camp Half-blood, or whatever was left of it. I saw myself on my knees bound by heavy chains. The chains were made from some unknown metal but they seemed to be draining my power. I saw myself screaming and shouting. I turned around and what I saw shocked me deeply.
The camp was complete destroyed. All the buildings were in rubbles and there were large fires all around the camp. Then I saw the bodies. The ground was filled with bodies…of my friends. I saw Clarrise lying motionless on the ground with a spear in her hand. I saw the Stoll brothers lying in a pool of their own blood. As I looked around, I saw all my friends on the ground. They were all dead.
I saw myself screaming at the top my lungs and eventually I saw myself pass out. I tried to remember what happened after that, but a sharp pain in my head caused me to stop. Just then, the door started to open and I could hear two voices laughing.
The first voice was that of a woman. It was soft and comforting and calmed me down a little bit. The other voice was of a man. It was loud and powerful, yet it sounded kind. The door opened completely and I could see two surprised sets of eyes looking at me.
The woman looked beautiful with brown eyes and black hair flowing down to her waist. She was dressed in a simple short sleeved dark green dress covering her entire body. The man on the other hand seemed to be covered in armor with a large sword hanging from his hip and looked a few years older than the woman.
They looked so huge I was afraid and screamed in fear, or at least tried to. My voice came out as a loud cry with gurgling sounds…like a baby. Then I realized something; they looked huge because…I was really small. I was a baby!
The man looked at the woman and asked her "a baby? I wonder who left it here. What should we do Emily?"
The woman bent down and picked me up and cradled me in her arms. She turned to the man and said "well…for now we have to take care of the baby, otherwise the baby will die. We can figure out the details later Shamus."
Then exhaustion got the best of me and I drifted off to sleep.
TIME SKIP: 5 years later,
I was running around doing my chores as quickly as I could so I could train. Emily looked at me with a smile and yelled "be careful Percy! Slow down, I don't want you getting hurt." She was as she was cooking dinner, while Shamus was cleaning his armor. He sighed and said, "listen to your mom Percy."
However, that didn't stop me. I quickly washed some vegetables and gave them to my mom with a big smile on my face.
"I am done! Can I please train now?" I asked my mom with big puppy eyes.
My mom sighed and said "Yes, but only for an hour. Lunch will be ready soon. And don't do anything too crazy." I quickly nodded and ran outside and went behind the house. I quickly spotted the familiar big rock and went over to it.
I then tried to pick it up with all my strength and then tried to walk around carrying it. After a few minutes, I couldn't carry it anymore and I dropped it.
Just then a woman from the house next door came outside and asked, "training again today Percy?"
I just nodded and started doing pushups. I have been following this routine for the past 2 years to become strong. I remember the feeling of being helpless and I never wanted to feel that way again. Every night I would remember the scene from Camp Half-blood and it would make my blood boil. I engraved that feeling of being powerless into my heart, so I would never forget it.
Soon my arms were at their limit and they gave out as I fell on the ground panting hard. I quickly pat my clothes down to remove any dirt and went back inside the house.
"Percy, could you please fetch some water? By the time you get back lunch should be ready" said my mother.
"Yeah, sure mom." I said as I quickly grabbed a pot made from clay and left the house. I followed the usual dirt path around the village to go down to a river just outside the village.
"Percy! Where are you going?" shouted a familiar voice as a smile crept onto my face.
I turned around and replied, "Just going to fetch some water Elia." Elia was one of my best friends. She was a petite girl with very curly hair and big eyes. We used to play together and even talk about how we would hunt monsters together when we grew up.
"Let's play later tonight okay?" I said. She smiled and nodded and replied, "You better get me some food when you come!"
I chuckled and continued on my way around the village. I went through the market saying hi to all the people there. It was very loud: the merchants were shouting out prices for their goods, the artisans were making pots and other items, and the weapon shops all had people in armor trying out all sorts of weapons.
As I was walking through the market, several women came and pinched my cheek saying things like "oh my, look how much our little Percy has grown!" and "Percy, you need to come around here more often." What's with old ladies and pinching cheeks? It's like every time they see me, they act like it's their first time seeing a small child. I rubbed my swollen cheeks as I continued walking.
As I walked past the food shops, the smell of fresh fruits and roasted meat filled my nose. I was instantly hungry and heard a loud growl come from my stomach. I looked around and saw everyone laughing and looked down in embarrassment as everyone started going back to doing their work.
"Haha, our little boy is hungry. Here, have an apple," said an old guy to my right as he tossed me an apple.
"Thanks Mark," I said as I ate the apple and walked towards the weapons shops. This was my favorite part of the market. There were many adventurers outside the shops trying out different weapons and armors. I just stood there mesmerized and continued watching people practice.
As I watched the adventurers, I felt a rough hand on my shoulder and heard "soon you will also get your own sword and armor Percy." I turned around to find a very strong looking man in his mid-30's covered in very expensive looking armor and a spear in his right hand.
"I know, I am very excited James. Shouldn't you be hunting monsters or something" I asked as James laughed loudly.
"Even adventurers need to take a day off boy. Just ask your father" he said and left me to join the other adventurers. I then realized I still had to fetch some water and made my way down to the river.
The river was not too far from the village. It was in the outskirts of the village and I skillfully navigated the woods since I have been going through them for the past 2 years. I quickly gathered enough water for my family in the pot and started going back.
I loved the forest. The fresh smell of pine trees, the beautiful colorful flowers and the dense trees truly made it a wonderful place. Grover would have loved this place. Grover…thinking about my friends made me sad.
It also made me think about my current situation. I wasn't on Earth. My parents thought me about this world. It was a planet named Agaria. The place where I lived was called Makais. It wasn't technologically advanced like Earth, but at the same time it was. This world was like a giant game. There were adventurers, guilds, dungeons, and basically everything behaved like a game from Earth.
Also, there was the mystery of why I was here in the first place and why I started out as a baby. This world was filled by magic and I knew I had to master magic if I wanted to become strong.
Just as I was pondering about my life, I heard a lot of screams. I quickly rushed back to the village and the sight I saw could only be described as hell. All the houses and the shops in the market were destroyed. Every house and building was on fire and there were monsters all around the village. They looked like wolves, but had a distinct pattern on their bodies. They had two lines on either side of their bodies running down their backs and the lines seemed to glow red. Their eyes were shaped like a diamond and were pitch black with a white pupil. And finally, on their foreheads was a circle which glowed white with a star-like symbol inside the circle. The monsters had killed and chewed on the people like they were toys.
My family…my friends…my neighbors. They were all dead. I tried to move but I couldn't. I was so scared that my body just froze. Just then I saw a blur of black somewhere on the other side of the village. It was Elia! I was about to scream her name, but just then one of the monsters started circling her. She tried to run but it slashed her with its sharp paws. Elia screamed and fell on the ground. The monster then chewed on her body and threw the leftover to the side like she was nothing.
I felt a sudden rage build up inside me. I had never felt so angry. This was the second time I had watched my friends and family die and once again I couldn't do anything to save them. I felt my entire body shake in pure rage and there were black, smoke-like curls coming out from under my feet.
As I was about to let out my rage, the world went blank and I felt like my body was being transported in a million pieces to some distant galaxy. I saw black holes collide, new galaxies being formed, and stars collapsing and dying.
My entire body felt like it was being pierced by a million blades and then everything again went blank. Then, everything stopped. I wasn't moving anymore and I could finally feel my body and wasn't in pain anymore.
In the darkness, several lights of different colors started forming. I couldn't make out their forms, my eyes could barely make out the blob of colors floating.
"Welcome Perseus Jackson, my champion" a calm female voice coated with power announced. It seemed to be coming from the red light and my mind was racing. How did this person…or whatever these lights were, know my name? And what was this about me being her champion?
I could feel power beyond anything I have felt before. Even the Olympian gods didn't radiate this much power.
"w-who are you?" I gulped and asked as my voice cracked. I was too scared to even speak normally.
"You will know when the time is right. For now, know this. All of us here have recognized everything you have been through. You have faced your worst fears…twice. And we have agreed that you are worthy of being my champion. Our champion" the voice replied as I just quietly listened.
"We will bless you with our powers. You will have more power than you can imagine. But know this Perseus Jackson, when the time comes, you will find out about us. But you shall never tell anyone about us. If you do, all your powers will be taken away, and you shall face our wrath" the voice continued and that last sentence contained so much power that my body just shook uncontrollably as I nodded.
"Before we bless you, here's a little present from me" the voice said as a small glowing marble floated over to me.
"Swallow the marble when you leave here. You will gain a companion in your adventures and help you learn more about your powers." I just nodded as the marble disappeared and appeared in my pocket.
"Farewell, my champion. May you always prevail" the voice declared and suddenly the biggest orbs of lights near the voice went into various parts of my body. Wherever the orbs entered my body, my skin glowed in the color of the orb and random symbols appeared on the surface and then it just sunk into my body. I guess this was the blessing the voice was talking about. Then the orb from which the voice seemed to come from went into my heart and I could feel my entire body heating up.
Then everything was covered by darkness as I was once again transported back to Agaria. Once again, I felt like my body was being torn and stabbed with a million blades until it stopped. I was laying on the ground and opened my eyes to find myself in an unfamiliar place. I swallowed the marble I found in my pocket as instructed.
Just then a female voice inside my head said, "Hello adventurer…welcome to your new life." A screen then popped up in front of me and it said:
