New York :
" Dan, I had enough. It's that lunatic or us. Choose one ", a woman yelled at the man in front of her.
" Come on, cat. Are you really going to ask me to send a child to an orphanage? ", the man said.
" Yes, choose that lunatic over us. And we'll never seen you ever again ", the woman said.
" But cat- ", " enough dan, choose. You have 10 seconds. It's either him or us ".
" Fine, I'll leave him at the orphanage tomorrow ", Dan said.
" I can't even bare his presence for another minute. Do it now ", Caitlin said.
" Fine ", Dan sighed and goes to his first son's room.
But as he opened the door he is stunned to a note on the window taped.
" Good bye, tell that bitch that she can keep the house now ".
" Also father, you're pathetic to be a puppet in the hands of someone cheating with your best friend ".
His eldest son seems to have dropped quite a bit of a bomb for him. Dan has doubts earlier all the time, seeing this note, his doubts only increased. Taking a look around the room, he found his son's clothes and few other things are missing. Sighing he took the note away with him to downstairs and told Caitlin what happened. The woman jumped in joy not even caring she is pregnant with a child.
Meanwhile the culprit who dropped the news is currently weaving through the shadows. A voice told him," head to camp half-blood. You'll be safe there. It's in the long island of New York ", the boy stopped for a second and changed his direction to the long island.
He is not near long island, he is in another corner of the New York. And this shadow travel is taxing on him. His name is Victor Grey. He is a demigod son of Hecate. The Goddess of magic, mist, crossroads, witchcraft, moon etc.,
Currently he is under the moon, so his power or stamina whatever this shadow travel thing is using, it's quickly getting regenerated. But his mother told him not to use shadow travel much. Reason, she said he will die if he uses the power too much and he doesn't even have the proper control on this.
Sometimes he hit things like concrete blacks and poles in the way while travelling through shadows. That's the reason, and more than that, he knows how dangerous this world is. The reason, a few days ago, a man's soul entered his body trying to take over and kill him.
Unfortunately for him, his system or whatever it is, that is providing protection is still loading at that time. And the power from his divine parentage awakened killing the man's immediately and devoured it. From the memories of the man, he is able to realise how terrifying this world. The man don't know much about this world though.
He only saw two movies or something on this one and then reincarnated here by a mysterious form in which he filled this universe. The universe of Percy Jackson. But bro, he didn't expect he would die in the hands of someone who helped is supposed to take over.
And Victor also realised he somehow changed when he absorbed the soul of that man. His previous younger and innocent self seemed to have gotten a little rude and naughty. Though he also gained confidence in himself. Not to mention this cheat he received.
It seems to be some kind of point to prize system he can kill monsters, win duels, improve himself, and finish some quests given by the system to get points. Although he can refuse the system mission if he wants to. There is no punishment mechanism on this one.
Victor also developed some inappropriate thoughts after his soul is merged. That is he is more treated towards opposite genders. Victor slapped himself many timesafter realising this. According to those memories, it's never a good thing to develop these feelings especially at this age where he didn't even hit puberty.
He is only 7 or maybe 8, after that bitch of a step mother appeared in his life, everyday is like a hell. He never wanted to see her ever again. Taking a deep breath, he looked back just once before disappearing,' be careful old man. That crazy woman may kill you in your sleep one day '.
Victor is walking down the street, when growls and snarls are heard. He sighed. Raising his hands a barrier of kist descended immediately around him, he vanished from their sight, but victor is just walking towards them casually. After he got the memories, he developed this ability by himself. Using mist to conceal his presence, scent and even power emnating from him.
He named it concealment. He can't think of a good name for now except for that one.
" It seems you using the mist well. As expected of my son, just like your mother, even though no one taught you this. You invented it by yourself ".
' why is mother praising me all of a sudden? Wait, isn't there a rule forbidding divine parents from having too much contact with their children? ', Victor thought. Then he said with a blush," thank you mother ", he is really blushing, it's his first time hearing a praise in years and it's also the first praise from his mother.
" I can guide you in magic if you want to. But you need to get to camp half-blood. My help outside that camp will be limited and lord hades or that guy zeus can block me anytime ".
" I'll go there as fast as I can mother ", Victor said.
" Good, don't worry too much though. I will assist you when it's necessary ".
" Hmm okay ", Victor said. What he don't know was, the man's soul also brought forth a butterfly effect. Hecate is good to him because she saw a vision of future and also made a prophecy using her power. Her son will be the center of change in many things, he will change some prophecies and some destinies that are already set in stone.
