AN: Alright, I'm a big fan of 'my life is a game' style stories and I've seen them for Harry Potter, for Naruto, for RWBY…but never for Percy Jackson. One of my readers told me about one after I mentioned my plan to do this story to him but that's one single story. I feel that this is an area that needs to be explore so explore it I shall! FOR THE LEGION!

AN2: Doing movie ages for this story.

A game of Fate

Chapter 1

-Percy-

Sighing he lay on his bed at Yancy Academy, thinking over the past few weeks of his life. Ever since the trip to the museum his life had taken a turn for the worse which he hadn't even realized was possible bar a few massive things that could go wrong. Ever since he had seen Ms. Dodds turn into a monster and explode into dust, he was sure he was going crazy. Nobody else remembered her! Even his best friend Grover kept insisting the demon math teacher wasn't real despite the fact that he could tell his friend was lying. Now he was debating whether or not to even study for his exams. He knew that most of the teachers here would fail him instantly and he was already expelled…but he didn't want to disappoint Mr. Brunner.

He was just about to force himself to try studying, again, for the third time, when there was a bright flash of light in front of him as he squawked and fell off the bed. Looking around nothing seemed different until he glanced out the window and saw that a bird was frozen in mid-air. Gaping he thought it was a trick of light or there was something in his eye as he rubbed them furiously before focusing on the bird but, sure enough, it was still frozen. He was distracted though by two sentences that appeared floating in mid-air.

Observation skill unlocked!

Observation has gone up by one level, Observation is now level 1!

"What the Hell?" he asked confused before he saw a second flash out of the corner of his eye as he turned around to see a letter laying on his bed. Picking it up he read.

Hello Perseus Jackson,

By now you'll likely be wondering why the world is frozen and why sentences are appearing in mid-air in front of you.

"Got that right." He grumbled, starting to think he was either dreaming or someone had slipped him some drugs when he wasn't looking.

The simple answer is that we have turned your life into a Video Game that you control. The longer answer would be that the Greek gods are real, and you are a son of Poseidon. We are the Fates and we are doing this for a couple reasons, the main one being that great evil will soon be rising and you are needed to fight against it.

Sincerely Clotho, Atropos, and Lachesis (A.K.A the Fates)

"What's the second reason though?" he asked after pinching himself to find that he wasn't dreaming and deciding if he was hallucinating he might as well enjoy the experience and play along. As he asked the question, a statement appeared at the bottom of the letter.

We got bored.

"Seriously?" he said, bemused by the situation his mind came up with.

"Yep. Now you can pause or start the world by thinking 'game start' or 'game stop' and while the world is paused you can access your menu. Here you can look at your map, check your inventory, see your active quests, your skills and level, any attributes or perks you currently have, as well as set your options. We wanted to make it so you could save and reload your world but that would be too much interference. Even what we're doing now is toeing over the line.

"Pretty straight forward so far." He said with a nod, deciding to enjoy his temporary video game life as he knew from a project he did earlier in the year that hallucinogens could only last up to twelve hours.

Thank you. Now, you'll have starting skills as a son of Poseidon but you can activate other skills by experimenting with other things or finding 'skill books'. All godly powers stem from Chaos who is the ancestor of every Greek immortal so you have the potential to activate any power but some will be harder than others. Anyway, we wish you luck and will try to talk to you when we can. Have fun!

"Thanks Fates." He said cheerfully as he called out "Menu!" and saw five boxes with little tittles above them reading 'Map', 'Inventory', 'Quests', 'Level, Skills, Attributes, and Perks', and 'Options'. Clicking on Inventory he found a 'deposit' area as he put the letter on it and saw it appear in a box in his inventory area as well as the stats of his 'armor', I.E. street clothes.

Next he opened up his Map to find a pretty detailed map of his campus with moving dots for the different students and teachers, those he knew having names above their dots. Quests showed a couple different ones. Clicking the currently active one he read:

Finish inspecting new Life System. Reward: 50 XP

Nodding he checked the second Quest which read:

Finish year at Yancy Academy without dying. Reward: 200 XP (side objective: make a C or higher on Latin Exam. Reward: 100 XP and a level bonus for language skill)

Nodding impressed with the quest and reward his mind came up with he clicked 'Level, Skills, Attributes, and Perks' to see what was there.

Player: Perseus Achilles Jackson

Level: 1

Current Quest: 'Finish Inspecting new Life System'

HP (Health points): 100

DP (Divine power): 100

Experience to next level: 0/50

Perks (Please note can be a power buff or a curse):

1. Blood of Poseidon: when in water all abilities go up ten levels, DP gains a 100% recharge rate, all Poseidon Starter skills have a 150 % learning curve, and HP and DP triple.

2. Curse of Artemis: Archery starts out at zero and gains negative levels making it impossible to improve while affecting you

3. Curse of Athena: Makes Intelligence and Wisdom skills increase at only a third of the rate they would normally

4. Demigod battle awareness: In a combat situation situational awareness increases two hundred percent

Scowling at the curses he had to admit it made sense as both were very arrogant goddesses who hated his 'father' according to the myths. Athena due to their rivalry and Artemis because of the Orion incident. Moving on he checked his skills next.

1. Control of liquids: Level- 5/1000: Gives control of any liquid near you. At current level you can only control water, the cleaner the better.

2. Storm summoning: level- 3/1000: Allows one to summon various storms or their individual effects. Currently you can only summon a weak rain storm.

3. Earth Control: Level- 3/1000: Allows one to control the very earth itself. Currently you can only cause incredibly small earthquakes which couldn't damage anything.

4. Animal speech: Level 5/1000: Allows you to speak with and gain the support of various animals and even monsters if it gets high enough. Currently you can only talk with Equine creatures such as Horses or Zebras as well as sea creatures.

5. Swordsmanship: Level 10/1000: The art of fighting with a sword. The higher the level the more damage you will do and the easier it will be to use a sword. Currently you can only use a sword that fits you but when you're high enough level any sword will work flawlessly for you.

6. Control ships: Level 2/1000: The art of controlling ships with your thoughts. The higher the level the more complicated ship you can move with your mind.

7. Navigation: Level 3/1000: The ability to tell where you are, how fast you're moving, and which direction you need to go. You can currently only do it on water.

8. Languages: Level 4/1000: The ability to understand any language you see or hear, be able to tell what language it is, and use that language yourself. You can currently only use it for Greek and what you know of English.

9. Health Regeneration: Level 4/1000: The ability to have your wounds heal at a rapid pace. Currently only works in water.

10. Observations: Level 1/1000: The ability to see something and figure out more about it, from its name to its level. Eventually can be used to find weaknesses. Currently only gives basic information.

Nodding he looked down at what was crucial for any part of an RPG, the attributes and saw that this game he was hallucinating had ten.

Attributes. Five points are gained with every increase in overall level. May also be raised through overall training.

Note: Curse of Athena only slows down raising Intelligence and Wisdom through training, not through perk point distribution.

WARNING: Once allocated they cannot be changed.

Current unused points: 20

1. Strength: 12

2. Speed: 5

3. Intelligence (makes it easier to learn information and remember it): 3

4. Wisdom (knowing when and where to use information): 3

5. Cunning (thinking on the fly): 10

6. Charisma: 4

7. Accuracy: 0* (Kept low due to curse of Artemis)

8. Constitution (resistance to poison, alcohol, and manipulative magics): 8

9. Luck: 9

10. Endurance (stamina): 7

Frowning he put ten points into Intelligence and ten into Wisdom before shuddering at the feeling of his mind beginning to work differently. He would normally put them in something else but he knew that if he wanted that side objective for the final exam he'd need the mental boost.

Turning to his options menu he saw it was simply how he wanted to organize his menu, the only really helpful things he found were that he could make it so that the notifications would only be heard by him and not seen as well as pausing the world for a couple seconds as they informed him as well as the fact that he could apparently have background music.

Closing up the menu he heard a notification saying that he had completed a quest and then another saying he had leveled up. Quickly opening his menu again he put the five new points into Intelligence and then turned to his text book.

"Game start." He declared as the world started up again and he moved over to his desk "Time to study."

AN: Percy's face when he realizes this is real, MWAHAHAHAHA

AN2: Now I've never done a story like this so any advice would be appreciated.
