In every pantheon, a board just appeared randomly. In the Norse, it appeared in Valhalla, however, due to Norse being so big, it also appears in other locations.
In Egypt, it appeared in the 21st nome and the 1st.
In Greek, it appeared in camp half-blood. Rome, it appeared right outside the city.
Attempts at removal have proven useless. Magic and physical attacks have proven useless as they phase right through it.

Meanwhile, Percy was sleeping in class and his mind in yharnam.
Percy had spent what seemed like hours researching on rituals. It was honestly kind of amazing what these can do.
Gehrman was watching over, and if Percy made a mistake, a cane would hit him in the back.
Then Percy would fix the mistake, or repeat it all over again.
With a deep breath, Percy whispered "Begin."
Almost immediately he doubled over in pain. But this pain didn't last long as Percy's resilience proved superior.
Once the ritual finished, Percy stepped out of the circle. It was best to do this ritual now rather than later. Since the older he gets the more resources he would need.
Physical immunity was honestly something that Percy was after, so he did.
Percy slashed himself with his dagger, only for the dagger to bounce harmlessly off of his body without so much as a bruise.
"Nice," Percy smiled. Now it was magic and the like that could have him.
He was going to need to experiment with those since being immune to physical attacks placed him well above normal beings.
"Not bad," gehrman said.
"You might be a scholar if you keep trying," he continued but there was a dangerous edge to his voice.
So began Percy's testing to see what kept him from harm.
Swords, bullets, and the like bounced harmlessly off him. While flames, lightning, and magic stuff can harm him.
[You have received a request.
In a lonely winter apocalypse, a girl is desperate for a friend. Surrounded by the dead who cannot acknowledge her presence.
Be acknowledged as a friend by Hel]
Percy smiled before he put his weapons onto his back. Then he got warped, much to his discomfort.
Percy landed on his knee inside the frozen wasteland. Dead souls were scattered across the wasteland.
The wasteland itself doesn't seem like much, people turn to him but ignore him. Percy walked through the ghost and began looking for his target.
"Alright I'm sick of this," Percy put two fingers to his lips to whistle loudly.
"There's no need," he heard a female voice behind him.
The shadows morphed around his feet, and a few feet from him and a girl appeared.
(Thank God she didn't turn into a Loli -Mikey)
Percy placed a smile on his face and then made for a respectful bow.
"Hello ma'am, my name is Percy," he said.
The woman took a whiff of Percy and recoiled back. Which Percy found rude .. nah who was he kidding she probably smelled the blood.
"How are you alive?" She asked, with a hint of fascination mixed in.
Ah, so that's what she smelt, Fair enough death God.
"Mmm, that's a question I asked myself. I haven't received your name yet miss?" Percy asked.
"...hel," the woman responded.
Percy looked around and hummed. He could see why this woman would be lonely, this underworld sucked.
Percy held his hand forward and summoned a flame, but it went out immediately due to how cold it was in this place.
Percy sighed before putting out flames that would heat his teapot. Finally, after making tea, he offered hel a cup.
"It's tea," Percy said. He forced the snow into a couple of seats and sat down and began overlooking the vast wasteland.
"...how did a Greek demigod end up here?" Hels curiosity finally got the best of her.
Percy smiled playfully.
"Someone rang for a friend, of course, who am I to not respond to my first customer? Now cheer up, I have so much planned," Percy said.
"But I can't leave helheimr," hel said. Her hand was hesitant, she definitely wanted to leave with him.
"You just leave that to me," Percy said as he winked. With a snap of his fingers, they were both on earth.
Percy smiled and then proceeded to go to the nearest trash can and barfed his breakfast.
"Ugh, still hate dimensional travel. Messes with my body," Percy said as he cleaned his mouth.
Hel surveyed her surroundings and the crowded streets. Her first taste of humanity in so many years.
Now that's not to say she hasn't tried, she could enter dreams but that's all.
"Welcome to New York. Now then whe-" Percy began saying.
"Percy?" A voice came from the crowd
It was then that the king felt true fear. Percy's head snapped to where the voice came from.
"Mom?" He asked and low and behold there was Sally already at their location.
"Percy you're supposed to be in school," Sally sighed and looked at Percy's friend.
"I'm terribly sorry for what my son has brought you into," Sally said as she looked at hel.
Hel meanwhile laughed, and when Sally focused further, she knew that this girl was a god. Like how she was able to know about Poseidon.
"Mother met hel. She's a new friend I made," Percy smiled at his mother.
Percy saw his mother's knuckles turn white as she clenched her bag harder. It was obvious to tell she was nervous.
"That's nice Percy," she said as she returned to normal, although she seemed to be surveying our surroundings.
Touche mother.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Jackson," hel said.
Percy smiled at the half-undead girl beside him, His eyes showing amusement.
"Mother, why don't you come with us? You can use a break too. It's all covered by me," Percy smirked as he held up a card.
Medusa had given him a Lotus casino card, so money wasn't really an issue.
...
At the carnival, Percy's senses were off. He felt something stalking him, that much was obvious.
Percy made sure not to let it be known to his mother, but one glance at hel and Percy knew that she too knew they were being followed.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to the bathroom," Percy said before swiftly departing.
Inside the bathroom, Percy found a dead body, and above that dead body were words written in blood.
