《The Sea Prince》Chapter 1
Advertisement
I was packing my things at fast speed, I get out of my cabin and start running toward the entrance of this place....
They told me to leave.
They banished me from the camps.
She did this to me, I don't care anymore.
I was out of the camp and a sharp pain was on my right leg I look down and there's a silver arrow in my leg I look at the shooter and saw that it was my cousin Thalia who shot an arrow to me.
" that's for cheating on Annabeth and leaving her like that" she said and left.
I try to walk but I couldn't. I sit down and I take out the arrow and scream at the pain of getting it out.
I took an ambrosia coming from my bag and eat it, it tastes like the blues cookies that mom did before dying with Paul, don't get me wrong I am sad that mom and Paul died but they weren't murdered by one of my many enemies it was just a stupid drunk mortal in a car crash.
I let few tears going down from my eyes to my face, then to my clothes.
I look up at the sky and start remembering what happened few months ago.
~Flashback~
3 months ago a new camper came in camp a son of Ares he thought he was a big shot and made every one believe him well except the older camper and the mystical being in camp.
Well one day he heard I was the hero of Olympus and challenged me and of course I won but all the younger camper said that I was a cheater in this fight.
I let it go since I don't care as long I have my friends and my girlfriend everything will be alright but soon that group reduced to only the last of the seven and Annabeth, Thalia too, the rest hated me, they called me a liar, a thief, a fake friend and many others name.
For one month I was in a quest for the approval of the hand of Annabeth.
Athena and Hephaestus helped me with the ring 💍 a beautiful one and inside it was written it was perfect while doing the ring Athena and I got a better relationship.... well I could say that our conversation are friendly compared to before with all the threats from her.
Today I was coming back to camp half blood while walking inside every one was glaring at me.... everything was normal I guess, I was going to say hi to my friends but I was stopped by the death glared they were giving me.
They left me alone even them.
I was walking toward the beach and I saw kissing a blond girl maybe a daughter of Aphrodite but my blood froze when I heard the voice of Annabeth with him.
Annabeth changed position and was on him she took off her shirt and started kissing that guy..... I didn't know what to do.... be angry, furious, sad, but I didn't feel any of that I felt empty like something broke inside me and it will never be repaired again, my loyalty was broken by them..... it hurts, I heard a gasp and saw that Annabeth was looking at me the other guy looked confused but when he saw me he had a smile on his face.
I walked closer to them and give the box with the ring inside to the son of Ares.
"It will be more useful for you, with that daughter of Athena" I said.

Annabeth took it and looked inside and started crying but I knew she was acting after all I knew her for more than five years.
I got back to my cabin and lie down one my bed and started crying, I was broken, there was an Iris message that popped in my room and it was Hades that was talking.
I got up and bowed
" Lord Hades" I said.
" Hello Perseus, I have bad news for you, today your mother and your stepfather Paul died in a accident between two cars them and a stupid drunken mortal, I am terribly sorry, I give you all my condolences" he said and dismissed the IM.
This time I was crying and kicking everything in my cabin, then I heard a frenetic knock on my door and when I opened I saw Chiron glaring at me.
" Pack Your things Perseus you are banished of camp half blood and camp Jupiter for many reason but I couldn't believe that you left Annabeth for another girl,because she was pregnant of you, Perseus you are pure disappointment in my eyes you have 10 minutes to gather your things and leave" said Chiron.
Annabeth is pregnant...... Annabeth is pregnant....... from me...wait I never did it with her how is it possible I am even still virgin......so she was cheating on me....and she tell Chiron that I was cheating on Annabeth!!! She's the one that cheated...... I can't take it anymore.
I started packing and I left.
~flashback over~
Why is this happening to me, what did I do for getting this, annoyed I look at my wound healed and get up and start walking toward the city.
But soon stopped by the arrival of a god I closed my eyes and reopened them to see lord Hermes I bow to him and he seemed surprised by my behaviour.
" Percy you are summoned to Olympus at the meeting with the Olympians" Hermes said and grabbed my arm and flashed away.
Are the gods going to punish me, are they going to betray me too, surprising the gods didn't break my trust even my loyalty toward them is intact I hope they don't break it, but knowing the gods they will kill me or send me somewhere....like Tartarus.
When I opened my eyes I was surprised no one was glaring at me they looked at me with curious eyes, Well not Aphrodite, she was crying and Hestia was trying to consol her but it didn't work, looking at Aphrodite crying made me lose it again and I started crying again.
The others gods were surprised to see me crying me Perseus Jackson saviour of Olympus for two time Bane of Kronos, Gaea and many monsters.
Father was the first to react, he changed his form to a human one and hugged me.
" Percy tell me What happened Aphrodite refuse to tell us what happened after she started crying she just told us to summon you" Poseidon said. I shake my head.
" I can't ..it hurt so much.... I can't say it..... they destroyed me dad.....they all destroyed me" I said crying harder in his arms.
He tightened his arms around me.
"Hera, please sister show us his memories, please" father pleads Lady Hera.
" No need to plead brother we are family you only have to ask" she said.
An enormous screen was summoned and cables flew toward me and connected themselves in my head, luckily it didn't hurt.
The screen opened to see the first day that son of Ares came to camp.

I hide my eyes in my father torso and try to not listen to the background of my betrayal.
I could see the face of the Olympians from the day one to today, some of the gods did comment my memory with threats some glared at their children other were completely surprised by what they saw.
Then the quest from Athena every one was happy for my courage to ask Athena for her approval.
Then today when I saw Annabeth cheating on me, my now not so friends, my mother and Paul even and the banishment from both camps, I swear I saw Demeter throwing cereals to the screen, then when Thalia shot an arrow at my legs Artemis was in complete shock.
Then the screen faded with the cables I looked around the room and saw that all the female in the room were in tears and the male some of them were crying too Hermes was hugging Apollo both crying in each arms, even Zeus had tears on his eyes.Athena was ready to commit murder I am sure that a lot of gods will help her.
Zeus cleared his voice.
"Perseus......once again we gods offer you immortality and join our ranks as a god" Zeus said.
"Lord Zeus, I apologize but I must refuse again " I said bowing.
I looked up and saw Zeus he wasn't angry at all, it seems that they had a mental conversation in their head.
" Then will you accept a job" Zeus asked.
" a job?? What kind of job??" I ask. Zeus and the others gods had a look of triumph in their eyes.
" You Perseus, it's like a super agents like those mortal call it, each one of us Olympians will bless you and you will have partial immortality, you will do missions for us destroying the evil in the worlds and other dimension" Zeus said.
This doesn't look bad, I could forget about them and have new life like this.
" if it is like this I accept"I said and every god sent me a smile.
" then I will go first" said Zeus getting up.
A white sphere was in his hand and throw it at me, but stopped in front of me.
" Now you have partial immortality, you can control the winds, lightning and travel with the lightning too and you have access in my domain" Zeus said.
He sat down on his throne and Hera stood. With a brown sphere.
" My blessings will give you the right to read minds" she said and sat down I bowed and thanked her. Then father got up with a blue sphere in his hands and throw it at me.
" son my blessing will power up the powers you already have" father said I bowed and thanked him.
Then Demeter got up and throw me a green sphere.
" my blessings will upgrade your stamina and your strength, but you have to eat cereal don't forget about that" said Demeter I bowed and thanked her for the gift.
Athena got up and throw me a grey sphere.
" My blessing will make your mind quicker, smarter and it will get rid of your dyslexia and give you my knowledge " she said and I bowed and thanked her, finally no more dyslexia.
Next was Apollo who got up and threw a golden sphere toward me.
"My blessings will make you able to heal others, sing, and be better with a bow.... detect the truth and sun travel" he said I bowed to him and thanked him for his gift.
Then Artemis got up and throw me a silver sphere.
" my blessings will make you faster at night ,have a better visibility in the night, moon travel and be a lot better with a bow" she said I bowed and thanked her.
Ares got up and throw me a crimson red sphere.
" my blessings will give you the ability to wield any weapon without difficulty" he said and sat down I bowed and thanked him for his gift.
Then Aphrodite got up and throw me a pink sphere.
" my blessing will give you immunity to charmspeak or any way to mess with your brain" she said and sat at her throne I bowed and thanked her for her gift.
Hephaestus got up and throw me an orange sphere.
" my blessings will give you the knowledge to build anything" he said and sat down I bowed and thanked him for his gift.
Then Hermes got up and throw a yellow sphere toward me who stopped in front of me like the other ones.
" my blessing.... well it will give you the ability to lie, to understand all the language and speed" he said, I bowed and thanked him for his gift.
Hestia got up and shot me a bright red sphere.
" my blessings will give you the control over fire, fire travel, summon food, prepare food" she said, I bowed and thanked her gifts.
Dionysus got up and throw me a purple sphere.
" my blessing will give you the ability to never get drunk, to always stay with your sanity, you can give the others madness" he said, I bowed and thanked him for his gift.
Then Hades got up and throw me a black sphere.
" my blessings will give you the right to control the shadows and the earth, as long your feet touch the earth you will always heal, you can shadow and earth travel" Hades said I bowed and thanked him for his gift, I looked around me and saw 14 sphere each different colour they all started rotating around me at fast speed and they all penetrated my body, I couldn't see anything everything was white then the light ended I looked around and the gods were shielding their eyes from the light.
Then they looked at me surprised, I felt a little breeze and looked down I was only in my boxers the rest of my clothes were gone, I felt something on my back, I looked behind me to see two majestic white wings.
" well your body did change, I can feel the raw power in you and wings but the rest didn't change, oh and you don't have any scars anymore" said Poseidon in front of me smiling. He summoned a mirror and he was right I didn't change at all well if I don't count the wings behind my back.
I looked at the gods everyone was okay well not Apollo he was blushing a lot while looking at me I wonder why? And father was glaring at him.
" well Perseus you should start your mission now, Athena will give you your mission, information and everything you will have to report to us your mission when you end it" said Zeus.
Athena got up
" your first mission will be in another world where the Titan escaped, in that world the mist doesn't exist your goal is to send them back peacefully if they want or send them to Tartarus and you have to watch out from the mortals they have heroes from the Dc universe like The justice league and the young justice and also the villain, when you finish your mission you will come back and I will give you a new mission, do you understand??" She said, and I nod...
" well you can't go like that so here" she said and touched me at the same time as Aphrodite touched my shoulder.
A new flash around me and I had a reaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyy short toga on me.
" What did you do I was gonna give him an armour and look what you did!!!!!!" Screeched Athena
" Don't worry Owl head it just the look it a combination of our both gift your armour and my beauty I won't let an angel go like that. Even if it's look like that it have the same priorities has your armour you can try if you don't believe me" Said Aphrodite admiring her work.
I looked at myself ,the toga stopped at my tight and one of my nipples was exposed, if this clothes can protect me I don't mind wearing it and it doesn't bother my wings .I look around the gods and see that they all have the same expression except Apollo whose face was even redder than before.... I wonder why? This time father was glaring at him murderously.
" Lady Athena I am ready to go" I say bowing to her.
"Here you go" she said opening a golden portal.
" the portal will send you to the first Titan Hyperion" she said I nodded and flying in.
Titans here I come.
Somewhere in earth a giant man in a shining armour was destroying a city and the mortals were attacking him with everything they got but nothing worked the soldier flew the place and let the mightiest heroes of the planet stop the Titan of light.
They didn't know who they were fighting until they reached the place and saw the Titan.
Wonder Woman fell on her knees, the other heroes looked at her in worry but only saw her frightened expressions but still determined.
" what's wrong Diana??" Asked Superman.
She looked at him.
" this will be a long fight and a really hard one maybe some of us might die at his hands" she said but everyone heard her.
" explain" said batman.
She nodded and started.
" that man over there is Hyperion Titan of Light an immortal being sentenced to Tartarus by the gods of Olympus" she said while tightening her hand on her sword.
The justice league marched toward the Titan and started a full attack on him but as princess Diana predicted they were losing the battle and soon Hyperion was gonna kill one of them and she was right with his spear he was gonna stab the green arrow but he didn't because of a flash in the sky. The clouds were so bright.
Then an angel with raven hair and beautiful sea green eyes with majestic white wings came down.
He descended until he was close to the justice league the angel looked at the Titan with a normal expression, the justice league didn't know what to do if he was an allie that could be good but if he was a enemy they will go down easily but they were eased by the terrorized voice of the Titan.
" Y- You h-ow c-c-can you be here??" He asked pointing his spear at the angel.
"Hyperion I am here for you I give you two options you go back alone without anyone getting hurt anymore or i will send you personally to Tartarus" the angel said in a melodic voice.
Every member were looking in worry at the angel what could he do to make a Titan scared.
"It won't be hard to send you back again and please go back peacefully there are 11 other Titan that I have to take care of" he said to the Titan, the league were shocked there are eleven other being like this one around earth and they were overpowered only by one of them.
The Titan without warning shouted beam of light toward the angel, after he finished there were no angel in the sky Hyperion was celebrating.
" are you done yet, you are getting slow Hyperion for a being of light!" Said the angel behind him.
Then the angel stabbed the Titan through the heart and we saw the sword through the body of Hyperion.
" Y- You how???" He managed to say.
" do you think you can kill me after all I survived??? You're getting old to be a villain you should take retirement from being a villain and have few vacation in Tartarus, you should stop listening Kronos" he said getting his sword out of the body.
"Y-Yeah you *cough* *cough* you are right" Hyperion said coughing some golden blood, then he turned to dust.
The angel was getting ready to get away but Superman stopped him.
" why did you kill him" said Superman in front of him in the air.
The angel looked at him.
" I didn't kill him, in fact he can't die, I just sent him somewhere else with the name of Tartarus a prison were he belong for the next millennium" he said again trying to get away but stopped by superman.
" I am superman who are you???" He ask, the angel eyes widened and regain they former aspect.
" I apologize I can't tell you, Lady Athena told me to avoid the justice league this is a good bye" he said this time flying faster than could the eyes see and disappeared.
" he just sent a Titan with just one blow in Tartarus and he was sent by lady Athena personally" said Wonder Woman with clear respect in her eyes.
In the other side we had batman who was contacting the young justice to track down the angel and follow him.
And somewhere else some saw the fight and was really interested by the angel what could be his power how much destruction he could do.

The Humble Life of a Skill Trainer
For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few of them. Which was a problem because while his profession of a Skill Trainer was perfectly legal, it was frowned upon by most of the kingdom. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring. Or, so says the Tailors Guild. The same could be said by the Blacksmiths, the Bakers, the Butchers, the Candlestick Makers, the Mages, and every other Guild with enough money and clout to complain. But still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and so he has managed to start his business and keep it under the table. To a degree. With many a bribe. But his quiet anonymous life of research, practice, and training was about to change. When the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
