《People Meet Percabeth》Fredrick Chase

Frederick
I am Fredrick Chase. Father to Annabeth Chase. And today she is coming to visit. I know that I haven't been the best dad ever... but anyway, I am excited! We have been cleaning up the house, non-stop! (A/N HAMILTON!) I hear the doorbell. That must be her!
"I'll get it!" Bobby shouts. I sigh and clatter down the stairs.
"Whoa! Who are you?" Matthew asks. I look at the door. In the doorway stands two teenagers. One is Annabeth. She is not the little girl she used to be. The other is a teenage boy, who looks vaguely familiar.
"Annabeth is that your boyfriend?" Bobby asks, rudely.
"Annabeth. How lovely... to um... see you?" Helen, my wife, says awkwardly. She and Annabeth didn't have the best relationship.
"Why don't we come inside! Helen made cookies!" I say. Two minutes later, we are on the couch.
"So Annabeth? IS THIS YOUR BOYFRIEND?" Bobby asks, insistently.
"Yes, this is my boyfriend, Percy Jackson." Annabeth says, unblushingly. PERCY! This tall handsome man is that little scrawny kid from a couple years ago? Wow.
"Wait, Annabeth. When did you get a boyfriend?"
"About a year ago." I feel stricken. A YEAR AGO!?! And she never told me.
"How come you didn't tell me?" At this, Percy pouts.
"Yeah Wise Girl! Was I not important enough?" Annabeth laughs and gently slaps Percy.
"You know you are very important." Their faces turn serious and they intertwine hands.
"Annabeth, answer your father! How come you didn't tell us?" Helen practically shouts. Annabeth's face turns harder than steel.
"First of all, I am seventeen. You will not address me in that tone. Second, I didn't tell you because I didn't want to. It is my life, I can control it. Third, two months after the Titan War ended, Percy disappeared for months. Then, there was another huge war. Percy and I we fell into living hell. I can't say it. It is where monsters go to die." My mind flashes back to college where I learned about Greek Mythology. Tartarus. My baby girl fell into Tartarus. I gulp.

"Tartarus," says the insensitive side of Helen. "You fell into Tartarus?" Annabeth squeezes her eyes shut and recoils into Percy. A lone tear leaks from one of her eyes. Percy glares at Helen. Whoa. The glare wasn't even aimed at me and I am still scared. Helen sinks back into the couch. Percy turns back to Annabeth.
"Come on Wise Girl. We are going home. Come on Annie... Blackjack is waiting... We can get donuts!" Percy leads Annabeth out of the house. But right before he goes, he looks back.
"If anyone of you hurts Annabeth, you will pay..." I look back, knowing that Annabeth is in good hands.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
