Artemis Straddles Percy

"From the Start, I Foretold the Immortal's Demise"

Above lies the endless expanse of the sky, a vast canvas painted in shades of blue and adorned with wispy clouds. Below, the sturdy, unyielding earth cradles the roots of towering trees, the whispers of grass, and the rich tapestry of life that thrives in its embrace. And occupying the space that graciously separates the two is air—the invisible breath that carries scents, songs, and the laughter of both the vibrant and the desolate. To the left, in the shadowy recesses where reality bends, linger the spectral figures of ghosts—echoes of the past, hinting at stories untold and lives once lived. They drift through dimensions, reminding the unsuspecting of remnants and regrets. To the right, the world of humans pulsates with life, ambition, and chaos—each individual a world unto themselves, striving, yearning, and often clashing against one another. Yet, at the very center of this cosmic arrangement stand the immortals, enigmatic beings who straddle the line between the mortal and the divine, their wisdom and power beyond the grasp of any mere mortal. For Jiang Bai, a newcomer thrust into this intricate tapestry, the world is not merely a staggering display of chaos. Armed with the most advanced Divination System known to existence, he possesses a unique ability to read the flow of fate and probability. To him, nothing in this world is unexplainable, and no individual’s destiny lies beyond his calculative reach. It is a gift—and at times, a weighty burden. Just after undergoing the life-altering journey of transmigration, he finds himself caught in an extraordinary encounter. He meets a legendary immortal—a figure exuding an aura of ancient wisdom and power. With an air of urgency, the immortal seeks Jiang Bai's insight, requesting a reading of his fate. As Jiang Bai channels the energies around him and peers into the threads of destiny, he is struck with a profound shock. The reading reveals an impending doom—the immortal has only thirty seconds left to dwell among the living. Stunned and deeply shaken by this revelation, Jiang Bai can't help but question the whims of fate. Was this a mere coincidence, or was there some deeper design at play? The gravity of the situation sinks in as he recalls the dangers woven into the very fabric of the human realm—a perilous landscape rife with schemes of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of cultivation. Each ascension toward immortality is shadowed by trials, and Jiang Bai knows all too well the treachery that lurks behind smiles and camaraderie. Faced with a monumental decision, Jiang Bai must navigate the blurred lines that separate ally from foe, illusion from reality. With the specter of mortality weighing heavily upon him, he recognizes that before he strides into the unknown, he must diligently assess his safety—a habit forged from his intrinsic cautious nature. On the brink of embarking on what promises to be an unpredictable journey, he turns to his Divination System, seeking guidance for the day ahead. “System, should I go out today?” he inquires, his heart racing with the anticipation of what lies beyond his immediate surroundings. With a calculated ease, the System responds, “Today is favorable for venturing out. Engage in activities such as cleaning and exploring the mysterious locales that beckon. However, heed this advisory: steer clear of marriage and intimate relations, for entanglements may prove hazardous in the treacherous world that awaits.” With a mind brimming with possibilities and the foreboding weight of destiny at his back, Jiang Bai steels himself. The world is poised on the cusp of an adventure, fraught with peril and promise, and he is determined to decipher the pathways ahead, one calculated step at a time.

Quickwear: The Second Chance System

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.

Aurora is a seer and a powerful witch who has yet to aknowledge her powers, only Artemis knows of it. Lucian Mithandir is in exile recruiting an army to fight Prince Castellan of house Taelin for the throne of Prophis. Artemis wants no parts of this war, but he is very aware whoever wins the war will later turn to Maldonia. Artemis has no clue that a bigger war is coming which will set out kingdoms on fire, Aurora has seen it in her dreams and it's for the Sweet Waters Throne in Maldonia. The end is uncertain but the ways are clearer, who will sit on the throne after the war to end all wars. 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.

The one who had been alerted of an incoming attack, Trixion tried to look back at the perpetrator of said attack however the attack had already reached him and he was unable to react to it anyway. "You were a worthy opponent, Krimson Khaos...."

That act had killed nearly 10 million Empyreans and from then on out he was known as a hero to the whole world, he was someone who even in his final moments managed to bring the enemy to their knees. They were correct however it was not in his final moments it was in the final moments before the end that led to his new beginning.
