Percy Jackson : A Gamer's Journey

A/N

First things first. I should have cleared this earlier so here I am saying it with no qualms whatsoever - I referenced the canon and 'Percy Jackson and the Game' (fanfiction website) as a base to build things a little bit since this is the first time I am writing a fanfic.

Hence, the first 2-3 chapters will be a little same however, I do assure you that things will change A LOT now since I am getting in the groove of things and written all the way till Chapter 14. So I hope you all will be a bit patient and stick around :))

Disclaimer : I do not own PJO or any of its characters.

Percy yawned as he sat on his seat as the lecture droned on. He was currently in class at Yancy Academy with Grover sitting beside him. He did not know how long it had passed since the class began, all sense of time seemed lost to him as he kept fidgeting on his seat ever since class began.

"Mr. Jackson, if I would have your attention please?", called Mr. Brunner as he just finished his lecture on the First Titanomachy.

"Sorry. What was it that you were saying?", Percy replied.

"What events led to the defeat of Kronos during the First Titan War?"

"It all started when a prophecy was issued by the Fates that Kronos' rule would end the same way he ended his father's - by one of his children cutting him to pieces with the very same scythe he used on his father Ouranos."

"Correct. And what is the the significance of Greek Mythology in the modern world?"

Percy thought for a moment before answering, "I honestly do not see the relevance since this is of a time long past gone and doesn't seem as important as other subjects such as tax planning or savings which would be helpful in the modern world."

Mr. Brunner simply raised an eyebrow at that. "Mr. Jackson, they affect the world in more ways than one", he replied mysteriously.

Percy being Percy simply overlooked it while Grover seemed a little pale from what just transpired.

Soon classes ended and everyone went their way to go about their day at the academy.

...

Far away from Earth in a remote place unknown to all save for its occupants sat three old ladies - one spun a thread while another worked the loom and measured the thread while the last one cut it as per requirements.

These were the three Moirai - Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos.

Suddenly a message popped up seemingly out of nowhere and landed in front of them. It had two simple words. But these words carried much more power and meaning than they appeared to.

'It's time'.

Lachesis took out a sea-green thread and it glowed an ethereal sea green light. Little did anyone know that this seemingly small action had more depth than anything ever. This would change the fate of the entire world itself and it rested on one particular 12 year old demigod - Perseus Jackson.

"Perhaps it is quite early for him to enter this life", mused Clotho.

"It may be but even grandmother knows how important it is. We must follow her wishes for Perseus has a major role to play in what is to come soon" said Lachesis.

Atropos remained indifferent and ignored her sisters while she continued cutting threads of various colours and sizes. If one looked closer, one would notice a hint of foreboding on her face for what was to come for the young demigod.

Seeing the sisters conversing like this with regular expressions compared to their stoic masks in front of the general populace would've made any person in the supernatural world sweat profusely and sent into a state of worry.

"He has a long road ahead. I hope he is up to the task", said Clotho as the light died down.

...

Percy awoke the next day with a sea green screen floating in front of him with ancient Greek runes running along its borders with a simple message displayed - 'Welcome to the supernatural, Perseus Jackson'

Percy stood there for a moment just trying to make sense of what exactly was going on. He tried rubbing his eyes, squinting and even went as far as slapping himself - hard just to make sure that he was't actually dreaming. Regardless of how hard he tried, there was no denying that the screen was there right in front of him with its beautiful runes lazily spinning.

Hesitantly, he reached out and touched the screen not expecting it to work mid-air but to his surprise the screen faded before the next screen popped open.

Percy had had his fair share of experiences whilst living with his mom and Gabe in New York but nothing could ever prepare him for the information displayed right in front of him. He sat there gobsmacked trying to make head and tail of the screen. Just as his thoughts could drift any wilder, suddenly he felt a sense of calm wash over him making him focus on what was in front of him and rationalise things with a clear mind. Suddenly, a notification popped up.

Gamer's Mind Activated! (click for more information)

Hesitantly, he reached out and clicked it.

Gamer's Mind is a skill which is always active. This helps the player to always stay calm and to logically comprehend the situation. Grants immunity to any psychological attacks and negates any effects.

"Huh", Percy thought. It was certainly quite a useful skill one which would help in quite a few situations. Just as he was about to explore more of it, Grover's voice rang out.

"Percy? Are you alright? You have been staring at the ceiling for the past 15 minutes."

Percy realised that Grover could not see the screen which meant that only he was the one who had access to it.

"Yeah, I am fine. Nothing going on." Percy decided to keep this a secret at the moment lest people think he was going to be even more stupid than he already was. He did not want to imagine himself being shipped to a mental facility for what he was seeing at the moment.

"Let's get ready unless you're looking for another detention for arriving late to class", the ever worrying Grover replied.

Percy threw on his uniform as he and Grover walked out of their shared dorm towards another day of inevitable torture. Little did he know that his life was going to change in more ways than one.
