Percy Jackson Artemis Collar

Jackson was a normal high schooler until one day on his way to school he was caught in the crossfire of a gunfight and died due to his injuries in the hospital. When he opened his eyes he found himself in a grand library that went on further than he could tell. After some time wandering around he came across a man who introduced himself as the primordial spirit of time, stories and knowledge, Brakos. Brakos explained that the multiverse was real, and he loved to watch people create grand things with their imaginations, write their own stories, and go on grand adventures. When he watched Jackson, he saw the potential he possessed. He was ecstatic but was upset when Jackson was shot and made arrangements for his soul to come to him when Jackson died. Jackson, still processing what Brakos is saying asks “What is going to happen to me now?” Brakos replies “Well that is up to you. I am giving you the chance to essentially become an Iseki character in any world of your choosing.” Jackson looked shocked hearing about this and took a minute to process everything again with Brakos patiently smiling at him. “Ok, but I have a few questions first.” Jackson suddenly said Brakos replied with a smile. “Sure, I will answer them to the best of my ability.” for a while, Jackson asked question after question with Brakos answering them. After a few hours of this, Jackson decided to think about what he wanted for this and after some time said something that Brakos had never expected. “Brakos I want to be reincarnated in a world with magic. In that world, I want to become the primogenitor (Primogenitors are creators/first of a race. Like Adam and Eve are the first humans in the bible) of a race I can call my own. One I can create and give power to. To be the leader of a people I can call my own and one I can work to defend and help grow.” Brakos stood there wide-eyed and speechless, trying to make sure that he heard that right. Then He looked at Jackson and smiled thinking ‘This kid is smart, I may have finally found someone who can surpass even my expectations.’ He laughed “Hahaha. Ok if that is what you wish I know just the world to send you to but I must warn you. Just becoming a Primogenitor is a dangerous thing there and the race you create will depend on how you go about it and you may not like what you create. Not to mention that this world also has other primogenitors and they may try to kill you once they realize what you are and lay claim to what you have created.” Jackson smiled and said ”That’s fine I already have a plan on how I will create the race and how to protect myself. I just need your help in fine-tuning it as I don't know how it would work or even if it's possible.” Jackson proceeds to explain his plan and Brakos can't help but be amazed at the creativity of this human child. “Ok, I understand but I do have one question. What shall be the name for this race that you create?’ Jackson smiled and spoke, “This race shall be known as the Draconians." _____________ TLDR Jackson is a person that reincarnates into another world as a primogenitor (they are creators/first of a race like Adam and Eve are the first humans in the bible) and brings forth a new race called the Draconians. A special type of dragon. To create this race he gains a special book that can alter reality and allow but to change parts of his race. To most, it will look like he is taking notes about an existing race but in reality, he is changing the race itself. Follow Jack as he learns about the world he lives in now as he goes to a magic school, gains the powers of spirits and even becomes the creator of a brand new race that can fight against the gods themselves. _____________ Not a harem or romance novel. Will be a BL eventually but will not be the focus of the story. Just want to build up the world right now.

Waking up in familiar surroundings, Artemis thought that it was all a dream—the galactic dimension full of colorful stars, the systematic voice that appeared in his head, and the cute chibi sphinx that introduced itself as the system—were all part of a dream, just like what he read from various transmigration novels. Not until the system finally transmigrated him to his first world did he realize that everything was real. A system bound him without his consent and forced him to travel from world to world. But that’s not what made him shaken up like being hit by a thunderbolt. It was how the narrator had been regarding him as a "HE" when it was supposed to be a "SHE". “What the heck is wrong with you, stupid system?! Why am I always in the vessel of the second male lead instead of the second female lead? Shall I return you to the main system for a fix?!” “It’s not this system's error that you are always assigned to the second male lead vessel. It was because you are a male that you are having the second male lead as a vessel.” Artemis who became a dumb: “...” Knowing that he couldn’t find answers from his system, Artemis could only follow the system and did his best to reach the highest rank in order to meet the creator and ask for the answers. This is another quick transmigration story about Artemis, who suddenly found himself became a man and was being chased by a phoenix-eyed man that he could not help but press down underneath him.

The Bastard who's been denied his true claim to the Sweet Waters throne with the mighties fleet in the world and King Artemis of Maldonia who has Aurora and dragons breathing fire. ~ Excerpt Scene ~ "Are you ready? A dragon is not a horse my love" Aurora expressed her concerns. "The dragons are ready to be claimed, Your Grace. I think it’s the perfect time for Artodo to take the skies and be claimed. He and the King have great relationship. He just needs to understand the words that’s all. "Torgo explained while looking at both Aurora and Artemis. "I understand the words." Said Artemis. "Incendio for fire and Valar for him to fly. I know some Low Moor too." It seemed Aurora wasn’t easily convinced, "Knowing the language of our ancestors doesn’t mean you can hang on to the dragon and take to the skies, especially since you are not just practicing. You are taking the dragon to the Mines, in clear daylight." "Exactly, that is the only way we can silence Lord Leoric. I cannot let him take advantage of my sister, I have to try…" Visera interrupted. "He’s ready, I can see it in his eyes." She said with a smirk. Aurora ordered Torgo. "Bring him outside," in Low Moor. Torgo nodded and walked inside the darkened cave with a fire torch. All five dragons were inside the cave perfectly chained. He went after Artodo, the biggest of them all. The black beast, standing at forty feet from head to tail with a wingspan of twenty feet. A terrifying beast to even stare at. Artemis took two deep breaths. "According to my ancestors history, the youngest dragon rider to ever took the skies was ten years old. You’ll be fine." Aurora teased Artemis after she noticed how nervous he was. The dragon keepers placed a saddle on Artodo’s back and two strong handles made of iron and wood for Artemis to hang on to. Then, finally Aurora walked to Artodo — the black beast. She pulled in Artemis and they both touched the dragon’s right eye, soothing him before the take off. "This is your rider now Artodo, you are to obey him from this day forward to the last, as your mother commands." Aurora said this is Low Moor while the dragon hissed slowly. The dragon hissed and Aurora took it a sign that Artodo understood him. She took a step back and let Artemis take over. These two weren’t strangers to one another. Artemis’s touch wasn’t strange to Artodo and he silently lowered his left wingspan for Artemis to climb up. Carefully and slowly, Artemis mounted the black beast. It was no secret that he was scared. When he was on top of the dragon, Artemis smiled looking down and he suddenly exclaimed. "You all look like tiny bees from up here!" Aurora, Visera, Torgo and the dragon keepers laughed. Aurora walked to him and they looked at each other. Their dream finally came true; "Promise me, you’ll come back alive." Said Aurora. "I promise." "And that you will not burn the Mines to the ground. If she disagrees with you, perhaps it’s time to let her go." This was what Artemis truly needed to hear so he may stop his obsession with saving his sister. When he was ready, he shouted to Artodo. "Valar Artodo," and right there the dragon’s feet pounded the ground heavy as it prepared for takeoff.

Throughout my life, I have yearned for the kind of love my father had for my mother. The way he looked at her with utter adoration made me long for the same. After my mother passed away, my father continued to live for me, defying the normal urge of a wolf to join their mate in the afterlife. He stayed strong, raising me as a single parent, and his love for me has never been in doubt. When I was 13 and discovered my wolf, I met my mate. It was unusual because mates are typically found at the age of 10, but mine was older. He promised to wait for me until I was of age to complete the mating ritual, and I trusted him. However, when I was 15, the alpha at the time, Percy Woods' father, announced that my mate, Percy, was to marry my childhood babysitter, Ralyn Smith. Their wedding was set to take place on Percy's birthday, just three months away. I was devastated and humiliated. Even Ralyn apologized to me in a letter. Percy claimed it was for the good of the pack, but for me, the pain was unbearable. I knew I had to leave the pack before the wedding and never return.
