Percy Jackson and the Art of Gacha

Well that was funny. But I had to get on with my plan for today.

So I switched into Form 2.

The black flames once again traveled up my body and my body changed with each centimeter they traveled.

First my feet became hooves then fur began to grow ontop of my new scales. My hight increassed as in changed. Slowly they reached my hips and stomach. When they reached my shoulders they stopped only to travel down my arms and changing them into the long limbs I had seen in the nightmare.

Things changed when they went up my neck. It just exploded. Black fire flew everywhere only to dissipate before hitting anything. So here I stood. In the full glory.

I felt awesome during the transformation. It was like someone was layering warmth over my entire body.

It was time to look into the mirror just to see how much I actually changed.

Once I stood in front of it the difference was clear. I was now, even without the horns, bigger than Kampe, standing at 5 meters.

My shoulders were broader too and my chest and abs were just woah.

I was built like a fridge on steroids or the human equivalent of a tank.

I could probably crack a watermelon with my thighs.

My heads were just as impressive. The dragon head sat on the left while the wolf one sat on the right. The undead head sat right in the middle.

There was no skin or even flesh on its face. It was just a skull with horns. Except for the edges of the face and the ears. The ears were wolf-like and covered in fur. The teeth of it were those of a predetor, long, sharp and massive. If others were to see it they would think I was wearing a mask instead of it being my face. The eyes were hollow with small white flames flickering inside.

The wolf head was a threat in and of itself. It's ears were similar to those of the middle head, the fur was black as well and the horns, which were long and facing forward, were framing its face and maw. Its eyes were silver in color and looked like they were dissecting you. Its teeth were just like the middle heads.

The dragon head on the right had black scales and backwards facing horns. They were thick, long and sharp. The eyes of this head looked like molten gold,as if they were thinking about it's next project and how to finish you of the fastest way. Its fangs were the same as the other ones.

All of them looked like they can open their maws far and I was proven right when I had to yawn. I could probably fit an entire head inside them.

My necks were covered by a mane that would make many monsters jealous. I would never need a shawl in this form of that I was sure.

I could also move my heads in different directions if I wanted to and broaden my line of sight with this.

It was time to start fusing stuff. First I cut of several hands full of my fur. Then I cut my palm and bleed into a glass I had readied for this purpose. The cut healed soon after sheading about 20 ml of blood. Then changed back into my main form.

I opened the system, chose the grimoire and added the fur and blood. But I wasn't done yet. I added my own blood and the venom of the snakes as well. But then I wondered why that was even possible. After communicating with the system it turned out that my nightmare form counts as part of the system just like my main body.

[Does host wish to fuse the grimoire with the provided materials?]

But I remembered something.

"And five kilograms of celestial bronze, too."

[Done. Commencing fusion.]

Congratulations host on getting your first soul bound item. Displaying item description.

[Would you like to continue the fusions?]

Yes I would like that. What other things can I fuse?

[Host you can fuse all of the items you have with these materials.]

So what would happen if I fuse the headphones with the bronze?

[The headphones would become stronger. But I advise you to fuse the cures suppression items with the Iron instead as it would increase and maybe add to their functions.]

What about the compound bow?

[It would be best to fuse it with equal parts of iron and bronze.]

What about the book? Would it have any effect if I were to fuse it with something?

[Host is advised to record it first inside his grimoire before using both iron, bronze, fur, blood and venom to fuse it with.]

I took out the Book of Midnight Rituals and held it in one hand while holding the grimoire in the other one.

Suddenly both of them opened and the pages of the ritual book began turning faster and faster until it snapped shut. I dismissed the grimoire again and did as the system advised.

[Congratulations host on getting the new grimoire: Rituals, Curses and Black magic.]
