Chapter 70:
Percy clicked map and it basically gave a google maps version of the
world. Expect in this it showed demigods reading as yellow and monsters
as red. Obviously there weren't any monsters on the map of camp Half-
Blood there plenty around big cities.
Percy then closed that and opened online market which opened up to a
website which basically was Amazon or Ebay. Percy saw several items for
sale, weapons, armour, shields, books and even enchanted items.
Percy then realised what this was, a place where he dump all the times he
didn't need! Percy then searched around and found the Sell option. He
then pulled out;
Fangs and Claws of a Fury,
The fangs and claws of a Fury and very sought after in various
circles. If you know where to search for it you might be able to get a
good prize for them.
Value-200 D
Percy then pressed sell and described what he wished to sell. Immediately
a screen came up;
Willing to buy for 200 D,
YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and another screen came up;
Please place items on the screen and a portal will be opened to take
them away.
Percy did so and suddenly a bright light surrounded the paper and the
fangs and claws disappeared and in their place was a bag filled with
drachma.
Percy put the coins in his inventory and found it was 200 D exactly. Percy
smiled and then looked through his inventory. He also had 8 ancient greek
pots in his inventory. After selling them he got 16 D.
He then closed the HNI and put it away. He opened up the loot he got from
killing Knight;
Money- 5000$
Enchanted sapling,
A sapling that can grow anywhere. It enrichens the room it's in and
gives berries that provide +200MP.
Skill book: Shadow spying
Essence of Shadow, Crafting item
Sword skill book.
The money he obviously put it in his inventory. He then took a closer look
at the sapling. It had white leaves and looked like it was already blooming
bright red flowers. Percy took the sapling and put it near the window sill so
that it got plenty of sunlight in the morning.
He then picked up the Essence of Shadow;
Essences of Shadow, Crafting item,
Used to craft object to embed the object with the nature of darkness
itself.
Percy shrugged and put it away for later. He didn't really need it, maybe he
would sell it later. Then came the Sword skill book. Last time he read one
of these it gave him his best move, he expects no less this time.
Ping!
You have obtained the Sword skill book!
Do you wish to learn?
YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and;
Ping!
Skill leveled up!

Chapter 71:
Percy read through all the techniques carefully. It seems this time he got to
chose two techniques. He couldn't use Heavenly Ice Dragon since he
didn't have Ice control. Sure he could try and make it up but he really didn't
want the technique right now. Maybe he would try and learn how to Ice
Control later but for now pass.
Heaven's Rain is definitely in, Weather controlling powers? Hells to yeah!
So all that's left was Angel's Strike and Water's Kill. So after careful thought
and deliberation Percy decided to pick Water's Kill. Why? Because it
sounded cooler to say that Angels' Strike. Come one the monsters would
laugh at him!
Percy picked the two techniques;
Ping!
Are you sure you want,
Water + Sword technique: Water's Kill

YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and the box disappeared and the memory of how to do
the two skills came into his head. Percy then waited for a moment, let the
information digest and then turned to the next thing;
Ping!
You have obtained Skill book: Shadow Spying!
Do you wish to learn?
YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and the book bursted into dust and the information went
into his head.
Shadow Spying, Lv- 1 (0%)
You can use send your mana to infected another person shadow. For
a certain time you will be able to hear whatever the person say and
hears.
Mana- 10 MP every minute it is in use
Limit- 12 hours.
Percy liked this skill. It would be the perfect for spying on people. Percy
then closed the screen looked around. It was getting late. He should
probably go to bed. But there was something bugging him. It was Apollo's
stupid curse.
The god cursed Percy for just being born and frankly it pissed Percy off. So
while he can't kick Apollo's ass right now he could do the next best thing,
showing him that even though he cursed me I can still be good at archery.
So with a grin Percy grabbed his bow and quiver and opened an empty ID
so that he wouldn't have to sneak around. He walked across the now
empty camp and came to the Arena. He walked up to the targets and
readied himself. The ID he created would make sure he was alone and
could concentrate. No noise to distract him, just him and his training.
Percy drew up the first arrow, notched it and then let it go.
Alright this is the last quick chapter you all are getting out of me.
After this I can't make any promises.
Questions,
Gauntlet's holding soul of gods- Yes they can. They can hold
anything below Primordial. They can't hold the Fates or anyone the
Fates don't want held. Percy's power's is their power, so they get a
say in it.
Percy's inventory- Basically its a bunch of boxes which hold items in
them. Percy can mentally chose which item he wants to take out,
hence why he doesn't shout, 'sword!' every time he reached for a
blade.
Putting water directly in the Inventory- Yeah that's not possible.
Anything stored in an inventory must be in a container or a defanate
shape. Hence why Percy can't store air.
Alright them that is all. Now if you will excuse me I need sleep. Unlike
Percy I don't have Gamer's mind keeping me alert 24/7. Keep sending
questions you might have and I'll do my best. Again review system
isn't working, stuck at 71 for some reason so if I miss something I'm
sorry.
Chapter 72:
As the sun came up over the red sky light found it's way over the Arena
revealing Percy shooting his last arrow at the target. His fingers were
bloody, they were cut from drawing back the bowstring one to many times.
On the target were several arrow all on the target and only a few on the
ground. Percy had spent the entire night here practising archery. He didn't
stop to rest, his Gamer's body made sure of that. His mind was clear
thanks to his Gamer's mind.
Only now did Percy begin to appreciate his gifts. He did need to sleep
anymore, he only needed to do it if he was injured. He didn't to eat also if
his HP was high, he only did it because he liked eating.
Truly Gamer's Mind and Body were a very useful skill to have. The results
of which floated before Percy in a blue box;
Archery, Lv-40 (30%)
You can shoot an arrow, it just might hit it's target.
Accuracy- 40%
Percy had done it. He had done all this in one night, just imagine what he
could do in a week, and then two weeks. Percy had also raised his Dex by
8 and his Str increased by 12 causing Percy to raise his weights to 50
pounds each.
Percy looked up, 'the sun's up already?' Seeing this as his cue to leave
Percy gathered all his arrows and went back to the Poseidon cabin. The
then thought, 'ID escape.' Causing the red sky out there to break and turn
blue again. Percy could hear the sounds of birds chirping now and smiled
as he saw various people run across the camp to the Mess Hall.
Percy may not need to eat anymore to survive but that didn't mean he
didn't like eating food in general.
Percy put away his bow and quiver in his inventory and then walked out of
the cabin. He then walked to the Mess Hall and grabbed himself a huge
plate of meat, cheese and grapes, truly the food of the Gods. He gave
some for his dad and ehne no one was watching shaved most of it into his
inventory.
Percy then began to eat what was left slowly as he made plans for the day.
Percy then pulled up his stats;
STR-24
VIT-22(+4)=26
DEX-28(+4)=32
INT-23
WIS-22
LUC-19
Not bad, not bad at all. Today maybe he should-
"Heya Percy!" Travis Stoll called out interrupting Percy's train of thought.
Percy looked up and saw both the Stool brothers standing over his
shoulder with identical grins. "Oh hey guy's what's up?"
"Did you use it?" asked Conner as he tried and failed to control his
laughter.
"Use what?" Percy asked confused.
"Use the HNI," Travis explained.
"Oh yeah I used it," Percy said smiling, "I managed to make some
drachma sealing some useless junk on the online market."
Travis and Conner looked like owls as they stared at him, "wait your telling
me the first thing you did when you got access to the internet was go
shopping?"
"Ah..yeah?" Percy replied hesitantly.
"Wow," Conner said actually surprised, "so you didn't look at porn?"
"No."
"Not even a little?"
"No."
"Didn't shop for any playboys?"
"Nope."
"What did you do all night?!" the two brothers yelled together causing
Percy to chuckle nervously.
"I was training," Percy explained, "my archery skills suck so I wanted to
practise."
"They don't just suck Jackson they are non existent!" Michael Yew called
out from the Apollo table.
"Shut up Michael! And stop listing to other people's conversations!"
"I can't help it Percy my dad is the god to truth! I have to interfere when
someone tells a lie!"
Percy chuckled and turned back to the Stoll brother, "so no I didn't visit any
porn sights yet."
The two nodded, "alright then we just wanted to say and see whether you
got the HNI working. See around Percy!"
Percy waved them away and turned back to his stats. Now where was I?
Ah yes, improving his Int and Dex. It was true he had a high amount of
stata but he needed more. But maybe he could do that later, for now let's
focus on improving Vit.
The speed Percy felt when fighting the Knight of the Damned was
exhilarating. It was like a drug and Percy wanted more. But first he needed
to get some things fixed.
Percy walked out of the Mess Hall and when he was alone walking down
the main path, pulled out his plated armour. The poor thing was torn apart
from yesterday's battle. Percy slung it over his shoulder and then went to
the forge where again he walked to Nina's table where the girl was working
on a bronze sphere of some kind.
"Hey Nina," Percy called out with a smile.
"EP!" the cried out and turned to see Percy there. Nina then saw Percy and
smiled, "damn Percy are you a ninja or something?"
"Hehe, I wish. that would so cool! Imagine it me being all stealthy and shit!"
"Hehe yeah it might be a little fun. Anyway what can I help you with?"
Percy then pulled up his armour and laid it on her workbench, "my armour
got pretty messed up. Think you can fix it?"
The daughter of Hephaestus looked at the piece and formed. She took out
a plate and inspected it against the light and found no fault in it. "This is a
good peice Percy, something most Greek demigods don't were. But it's far
too messed up. It's torn at the leather and if you fixed it it would be a patch
job at best."
Chapter 73:
"I see," PErcy replied with a frown, "so what do you suggest?"
"Well..." Nina then took out a roll of paper and spread it out showing a
greek designed armour, "I can make it into this. I'll turn the leather into the
Greek armour and put the plates on top."
Percy nodded, "okay quick question can I not be wearing a skirt?"
"What?"
Percy pointed at what the greek used to where instead of leg armour, "that
thing. Can I not wear a skirt. I'll admit I have some fine legs but I don't want
to put them on display."
"Haha, well I'm sure you can just wear a pair of jeans if you need to Percy."
Percy smiled back, "okay let's do it. When will it be ready Nina?"
"Ah, two days, meaning you can't use it for capture the flag tomorrow."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Percy said scratching his head, "well can
you get it done by then?"
"Is money not an issue?"
"Yup."
"I can get it done by then," Nina then took the armour off and Percy quickly
turned to walk out. But just then Percy saw a huge tire sitting in the corner
of the Forge, suddenly an idea popped into his head.
"Hey Nina, can I borrow that for a second?"
A few minutes later,
Percy now stood in the Arena with a chain around his torso and the giant
tire behind him. Percy quickly performed a few stretches and got ready for
the run. He then moved forward, each step was like pushing up against a
mountain as Percy slowly dragged the tire across the track.
The first few steps seemed easy. The next few seemed challenging, but
after that it became hell. Percy's shins burned but the son of Poseidon
didn't stop. He pushed himself and by the time he finished half a lap;
Ping!
Due to strenuous exercises you have gained, +2 Str and +4 Vit!
Percy closed the box and focused only on pulling the tire along. The
weighted wristbands on his hands were helping improve his strength, and
he was carrying a FREAKING tire! Him pushing himself increased his
stamina and hence this should be the perfect exercise to improve both Str
and Vit.
As soon as on round was down Percy collapsed onto the ground and
started to pant. It was done, one full round done. Percy then looked around
and saw several campers that were training in the Arena before were now
looking at him.
"Ah...can I help you guys?" Percy asked and immediately most of them
turned away leaving Percy confused.
Well whatever he had a job to do anyway. Percy got up and began his
second round. By the time Percy finished the second round his Str had
gone up by 2 and his Vit by 3. Now Percy collapsed on the ground
exhausted. Gamer's body might make him not feel fatigue but he was still
exhausted beyond belief.
Percy took of the chain around him and then moved the tire upright. He
then began moving the tire back towards the forge all the while the
campers were giving him weird looks. After Percy put the tire back inside
the forge and thanking Nina for letting him use it Percy walked over to the
Athena cabin.
Inside Percy found the Athena kids busy with their own projects so Percy
just sat down and looked over all the research material he gathered on the
underworld and Hades. He was prepared to go down there and fight, but
he had no way of beating a god. So PErcy spent most of his time here
doing research about what he could use to defeat Hades.
Annabeth walked over, "hey Percy you're early today."
"Yeah I wanted to get more work done," Percy said with a smile.
"So you're going to be here the whole day?"
"Yup," Percy smiled, "aren't you a lucky girl."
Annabeth grinned, "no Mr. Jackson you are the lucky one, you get to be in
my presence all day long."
"Being vain doesn't suit you Annabeth."
"Oh please it suits me just fine," the child of wisdom said with a smile, "no
get to work. We children of Athena don't like laziness."
Percy saluted and quickly got down to his business. Over the next five
hours that Percy spent in the cabin, the longest he had ever spent. He
read about all the myths surrounding Hades and he thinks he finally found
something to defeat the bastard, or at least stop him.
Ping!
Due to constant studying you have gained +5 Int and +5 Wis!
Percy closed the box and quickly walked out of the cabin. After a quick
lunch at the Mess Hall Percy went to the camp fire where the Apollo kids
sang songs and everyone was in an active mode. Percy wondered why
and just then Annabeth came up to him, "hey Percy got a second?"
Chapter 74:
Percy nodded, "yeah sure no problem what up?"
"Well you know that the capture the flag game is tomorrow right?"
"Ah so that's what everyone is excited for."
"Yup, anyway I was wondering want to join my team?"
"Really? Wow Annabeth that sounds great. Who all is there?"
"Well there is us, Athena cabin and Hermes cabin. And we just managed to
get Apollo cabin in as well."
"Sweet. Okay I'll join, where do I sign up?"
Annabeth chuckled, "you don't have to sign anything sea head, just be
there."
Percy nodded and the two talked for a while after that. Later at night Percy
was in his cabin alone. He put his hand up, 'ID create: Empty.' The outside
world turned red and Percy quickly grabbed his bow and arrow and left for
the Arena again.
The Next Morning,
It was the second morning that Percy had gone without sleep and so far it
hadn't actually affected his body. Before if he stayed up a few hours past
10 he would start getting drowsy but now he felt fine.
Ping!
Due to constant bow and arrowing your skill has leveled up!
Archery, Lv-63 (30%)
You can shoot an arrow, it just might hit it's target.
Accuracy- 63%
Due to semi- accurate shots you have gained +3 Dex!
He gained nearly half the amount of levels he gained last night, but that
was alright. He wasn't going to win any trophies for a fancy shot any time
soon but he didn't care about that. All he wanted is to be a good shot.
Percy then walked back to his cabin, broke the ID and then came out. After
breakfast he went to Athena cabin and borrowed a couple of handheld
puzzles he saw the Athena kids solve. He then went to the Forge and
grabbed the tire and chain.
In the Arena this time while Percy pulled the tire with the chain around his
stomach he also began to try and solve the many puzzles he had grabbed.
One of them was a cube which you had to open by twisting and turning.
Another was a sphere where you had to twist it until you found the secret
image printed on it.
Hence the strangest tradition of camp began. When many campers came
to the Arena to train that morning they were both shocked and impressed
at what Percy was doing. He was dragging a tire while solving puzzles with
his hands. What's next? A unicycle? Well it would help with balance.
After spending the entire afternoon doing this, Percy ran out of puzzles to
solve. He then stopped and took the chain of his body and put all the
puzzles away. Percy then looked up at the boxes floating in front of him.
Due to solving several puzzles using your head you have gained +4
Wis!
Due to you dragging a tire and having weighted wristbands you have
gained + 4 Str!
Due to you dragging a tire around in circle you have gained + 5 Vit!
Percy then put the tire and puzzles back in their respect building and
walked along the stream. It was a tiring day and Percy had actually
managed to do something good today. Since the capture the flag game
was tonight Percy didn't want to push himself too much.
Well alright that was a lie, there was no such thing as pushing yourself too
much when you just dragged a tire across a field for the past three hours.
There was actually something Percy wanted to do ever since he came to
camp but he was to preoccupied with training and fighting for his life. And
that was going to the beach for a swim.
He walked to Fireworks beach and smiled at the sight of the ocean. The
wind blew across his face and the smell of the salty sea was begging him
to come inside. Percy took off his shirt and put it in his inventory. He then
ran across the sand and the moment his foot hit the sea water he felt
energised.
Ping!
You have entered a water body! Due to your parentage you have
gained a boost!
+1000 HP
+1000 MP
All wounds are healed
All ailments cured
Water Breathing ability active
Percy ignored the box and swan deeper and deeper into the sea. Percy
then swam along the coast and saw several sea nymphs setting along the
mouth of the stream that separated the Forest. They waved to him and
Percy awkwardly waved back.
Just then one of the nymphs jumped into the sea and came at Percy. Percy
was stunned at her speed and realised she might have been faster than
him. She then appeared in front of him and spat water on his face.
Percy looked at the nymph and narrowed his eyes. The nymph's eyes went
wide as it turned tail and swan, but Percy wanted revenge.
Percy kicked off after the nymph and cased the spirit all over the ocean.
Percy used the water to make him faster and caught up to the girl quickly.
He grabbed her ankle and using his water control threw her upwards.
The nymph shrieked in fear and then landed back into the water with a big
splash. Percy then laughed his ass off as he saw the poor girl get angry.
Then suddenly Percy felt it;
Bloodlust: from the nymphs in front of you.
Percy looked up slowly and needless to say there they were. All the
nymphs Percy saw before now stood in front of him cracking their arms
with a look of vengeance on their face.
"Come one guys let's not do something we'll all regret," Percy said as he
slowly moved back away from them.
"YAAA!" the nymph's cried out as the charged after him. Percy turned and
swam with all his might;
Ping!
Your skill leveled up!
· Swimming, Lv-15 (80%)
Your speed in swimming is that of an advanced swimmer-7 miles an
hour.
Chapter 75:
'Not now!' Percy then swam to the coast but before he could reach it he felt
something tug on his pants. Percy then saw one of the nymphs holding
him in place while the other brought back their fists.
"Oh shit."
A few minutes later,
Percy found himself on the sands of the beach with bruises all over his
body. Let me tell you one thing, never piss off a nymph, or her friends.
Those things were twice as dangerous as human women when pissed off.
But they were twice as beautiful too so it kind of added up.
Percy then put on his shirt and walked back to camp. After dinner at the
Mess Hall Percy quickly went to the Shed where he got an extra set of
greek armour, the ones with the funny skirt. He put on his helmet of troy
and readied he sheild. He then went to the area outside the Forest where
most of the camp was now gathered.
He quickly spotted Annabeth and Luke and walked over to them, "hey
guys!"
"Hey tire pusher," Luke said with a grin.
"Really? That's the best you guys could up with?" Percy asked, "I prefer
the hero of the unclaimed."
"Gave yourself that did you?" Annabeth asked with a smile.
"Nope, Michael did."
"Michael Yew of the Apollo cabin?" Luke asked and Percy nodded, "well
then hero of the unclaimed glad you can make it."
"Yeah we were just about to begin," Annabeth said turning to Dionysus
who was standing before all of the members of camp.
Percy the listened halfheartedly as the Olympian went on and on about the
rule which were basically, the streak was the separation point between
both sides of the forest. The entire forest was open game and no maiming
or killing.
Percy nodded absent mindedly to whatever the god was saying as he
thought to himself, 'is this guy really a god? Like an Olympian god? He
doesn't really do much does he.'
After that Percy went along with Annabeth and Luke as they took their
team, blue team, deep into the forest. They then came across a big stone
formation that Percy remembered seeing when he was in the ID: Zombie
world.
"This is Zeus's Fist Percy," Luke said pointing to the rock pile, "this is
where we are making camp." A few sons of Hermes then climbed onto the
rocks and put the flag on top.
"Why do they call it Zeus's Fist?"
"Well from one angle it looks like a fist," Annabeth explained.
"Well from where I'm standing it looks like a pile of rocks."
"Yeah I know. Greek people are weird. Just accept it and move along. Only
way to be sane," Annabeth said and they both turned to Luke who was
addressing the entire team.
"Alright the Athena cabin and I have made a battle strategy. Archers get on
the trees along the coast, if I know Clarisse and I do, she will send a lot of
people through the beach where they can get more space to move. We
want them inside the forest so push them there. Once they are there
Hermes cabin members will take care of them. Children of Athena we need
traps all over the place, protect the base and make sure to give hell to the
one who manage to cross the stream."
Percy then raised his hand, "what do I do?"
"Ah..." Luke then scratched his head, "what are you good at other than
sword fighting?"
"I'm good at sneaking around," Percy said with a shrug.
"Really?"
"Yeah, that's how I found out about the Greek world. Spied on Grover
when he was making kissy faces with Juniper over an Iris message. Not
the best way to tell a kid he is a demigod, but meh."
The team laughed, Luke especially, "alright Percy go nuts. I think you can
take care of yourself."
"Any idea where they might keep their flag?"
"There is a tree clearing over on the other side, it should be there
somewhere. Knowing clarisse though she probably has a lot of people
guarding it, so be careful."
"Wait you don't think Percy can actually pull this off do you?" Annabeth
asked worried, "he barely had a week's training!"
"Relax Wise Girl, have some faith in me," Percy said with a grin, "I promise
I don't suck that much."
Annabeth sighed but before she could respond they all heard a couch blow
signalling the beginning of the battle.
"Alright everyone move out!" Luke cried as he charged ahead with the rest
of Hermes cabin.
Percy readied Riptide and ran into the forest. As soon as he was out of
sight Percy pulled up and empty ID, 'ID create: Empty!'
The sky went red and the noise of footsteps went away. Percy then ran
across the empty forest and quickly crossed the stream. He then reached
the other side of the Forest crossing the stream without a look. Eventually
after a few minutes of searching Percy came upon a large clearing where,
if he was in charge, he would put the flag and people to gaurd it.
Chapter 76:
Percy then thought out, 'ID Escape!' The red sky cracked and all the noise
of the normal world filled the night. There was the sound of swords
crashing all over and Percy saw 5 children of Ares guarding the flag.
The five campers still hadn't noticed him so Percy went into the shadows of
the trees and hide there. 'This is going to be easy,' Percy then took out his
bow and quiver and readied himself. His archery was at a 63% accuracy
rate and since he was hidden right now his stealth skill had a 35% of
critical.
Percy took out a blunt arrow and aimed it at one of the children, he pulled
back the arrow and then released. The arrow flew and hit one of them on
the knee. The camper went down and soon the rest of them moved to him
to see what was wrong. During that time of distraction Percy another arrow
through the left biceps of another Ares kid causing him to fall down in pain.
He didn't get any critical but at least his aim was true enough, even though
he aimed for the last guy's legs.
Percy the tossed his bow and quiver into his inventory and took out
Riptide. The Ares children spotted him running towards them and quickly
brought up their shields. Percy smirked and then jumped, used their
shields as a diving board and landed in front of the flag. He grabbed the
handle and then ran away.
"Come back you coward!" they called after him.
"Bite me!" Percy called back as he ran into the forest. Percy then thought,
'ID Create: Empty,' and he and the flag were transported to the red skyed
dimension.
Ping!
Due to constant use a skill has leveled up!
· ID Create, Lv-10 (21%)
Used to create Instant Dungeons. Higher the level, stronger the
dungeon.
Current list-
Empty Dungeon- no monsters.
Monster Dungeon- Zombies
Monster Dungeon- Goblin Camp
· ID Escape, Lv-10 (21%)
Used to escape from Instant Dungeons.
'Huh guess I got a new dungeon,' Percy noted and then dismissed the
boxes. He then began to walk to the stream and just as he reached it he
called out, "ID Escape!"
The red sky shattered and the noise of battle came back. Percy then
casually walked out of the forest and crossed the stream holding the flag
pole behind him.
He then put the flag on his team's side of the forest and waited for them to
realise the game had been won. Yeah he was way to OP for this.
As Percy began to wait for everyone to notice he had won the battle a
growl came out of the Forest. Holding up Riptide Percy turned and saw a
big hound walk out of the tree line. It looked big black and scary with teeth
red with blood and eyes that were sulphuric yellow.
Percy Observed this thing;

Percy's eye winded, what was a beast from Hades itself doing here?!
Shouldn't it be in, well Hades? The beast then growled and looked like it
was about to pounce on Percy, the son of Poseidon smirked, "Does the
little doggy want to play?"
The Hellhound growled and charged Percy jumped back into the stream;
You have entered a water body! Due to your parentage you have
gained a boost!
+1000 HP
+1000 MP
All wounds are healed
All ailments cured
Water Breathing ability active
Percy then drew Riptide to his left and with his free left hand brought two
fingers up, "Water's Kill."
Chapter 77:
The water from the stream then jumped out at the Hellhound. the monster
jumped up to try and escape whatever Percy was doing, but the water
followed it. It grabbed the monster's four limbs and brought it down on the
ground. The water then helped the beat over there while Percy coated
water.
The water covered his blade like a second skin as Percy readied his blade.
He then dashed forward at the beast and swung his blade across the
monster. As Riptide sliced through the beast the water on it started to spin
like a buzzsaw cutting into the beat and turning it into minced meat before
it burst into golden dust.
Percy then searched the loot it dropped and found 50 $ and a tooth. After
he put it away a voice called out, "Percy?"
Percy shot up and turned to see Annabeth there with a cap in her hand,
"Annabeth? What are you doing here?"
"I heard something growl and saw I came here to make sure nothing
happened. I saw you taking care of a Hellhound, Percy what's going on?"
'Did she see me picking up the Loot? No the golden dust of the hellhound
was everywhere she couldn't have seen it.' "I don't' know Annabeth the
Hellhound just attacked and I took care of it. I thought the camp's barrier
was supposed to make sure these kinds of things didn't happen."
Annabeth nodded, "yeah they were, something must have happened.
Somebody must have summoned it here."
Percy's eyes winded but before he said anything Luke's voice called out,
"Percy? Holy shit Percy you got the flag!" Luke then came out of the forest
running towards Percy.
Suddenly the entirety of camp was all around him as his team carried him
on their shoulders cheering for him, "Percy is the best! Percy is the best!"
Percy smiled at this but his head was filled with one question, 'who sent
the Hellhound after him? Who would want me dead? Who would gain the
most from me not living? Hades? No he thinks I have the lightning bolt.
Was it...the only person who would gain from me dying is the lightning
thief. If I died then I wouldn't be able to say that I wasn't the lightning thief,
meaning war would break out among the Gods and the real thief would be
scot free.'
Ping!
For coming to a logical decision you have gained +1 Wis!
Percy closed the box and quickly focused on what was going on around
him. The people who had him on their shoulders brought him to the camp
fire where there was a party going on. Food was all over the place as well
as drinks.
Percy however couldn't enjoy any of it because he was constantly being
dragged to one group or another. Most congratulated him on a battle well
won. The Stoll brothers kept asking him how he managed to sneak past all
of Ares cabin to which Percy replied, "trade secret."
After half an hour of talking with people he knew Percy finally excused
himself and was practically drooling over himself when he saw the huge
plate of steaks there. His fingers shook as he reached for the food and-
"PERCY JACKSON!" Oh great what now.
Percy then turned and saw a huge figure in the fire. It stood over 8 feet tall
and was covered in flames with bat wings behind it and horns on it's head.
"Where is Percy Jackson?! I Hades command you, bring him to me!"
'Oh so this guy is Hades? Well he just saved me the trip,' Percy then
walked up and took a water bottle out of his inventory. He opened the cap
and then moved the water into spheres and made them float high up in the
air away from view.
Percy then walked up the fire and grinned, "you called?"
"You! Lightning thief! You shall bring the master bolt to me!"
"Well that's great and all but I don't have it! I'm not the lightning thief!"
"You lie! You have stolen it! I order you to bring it to me!"
"Well how would like to suck me balls?" The campers then all went white
and looked slacked jawed at what Percy said.
"Wh-what did you say?"
"I'm sorry I'm sorry what I said was, how would you like to suck my balls?!"
Percy then ordered a water ball down. Percy then threw the water ball at
Hades's fire face causing it to sizzle and release a lot of smoke.
"Stop that!"
"No," Percy replied and then threw more and more water balls at Hades's
face.
"Enough!" Hades screamed, "if you ever want to see your mother
again you will come to Hades with the bolt or I will kill her!"
Percy narrowed his eyes, he was hoping he had more time to get more
training in, but Hades was forcing his hand. Percy then commanded all the
water and the drinks gathered at the camp fire into the air and sent them
all at Hades, "never threaten my mother!"
"Wait wh-!" Hades was then drenched and the fire was put out. Percy
huffed at the ashes and quickly turned away.
"Chiron I'm going, now," Percy called out to the half-man half-horse
creature.
"Understood Percy," Chiron said walking alongside Percy, "come with me.
You need a prophecy from the Oracle first before you leave."
Percy nodded as chiron lead him to the Big House. Inside Chiron told him
to go the attic and will find her there, he also told Percy to be ready to see
something startling.
Percy then opened the attic door and walked up to the room. It filled with
several things like paintings, shields, weapons and….is that the ark of the
covenant? Either way the room was filled with dust, but there in the
shadows of the attic was a figure whose face was hidden
Chapter 78:
"Ah, hello? Oracle lady?" Percy asked as he approached the woman. As
Percy came closer he realised that the thing he was talking to was a
mummified body with brown hair and was dressed up as a hippie from the
sixties.
Suddenly the mummy moved and it's eyes glowed green. A green smoke
came out of it's mouth and a chilling voice spoke, "I am the ssspirt of
Delphi, speaker of the prophecies of Phoebussss Apollo, Slayer of the
Mighty Python. Approach, seeker and assssk."
Percy gulped and walked forward,"wh-what is my quest?"
"You shall go wessst, And face the God who has turned. You shall find
what was stole, and sssee it safely returned. You shall be betrayed by one
who callssss you friend, and you shall fail to ssssave what matters mossst
in the end."
The green mist then moved back into the mummified body and all life went
out of it's eyes as it once again transformed into a corpse.
"Wait what?" Percy cried out, "who is it that will betray me?!" Percy then
started at the Oracle, Observe;
The Oracle of Delphi;
The spirit of the Oracle lives in this mummified body. Cursed by
Hades after the death of his lover and the attempted murder of his
two children by Zeus, the spirit of the Oracle has been unable to
move on due to this curse. The only way to break this curse is to
fulfill the Great Prophecy thereby releasing Hades's children from it.
Great just great, more of Hades's bullshit. Just what Percy needed right
now. Percy sighed and quickly exited the attic and meet with Chiron on the
ground floor. The centaur stood in the porch of the Big House with arms
crossed and a frown on his face.
"Why the long face Chiron?" Percy asked.
"Percy? Oh, nothing. I am just worried. Annabeth informed of a Hellhound
attack on you during capture the flag. Why didn't you tell me Percy?"
"Well I was kind of busy with all the people who wanted to talk to me and
then getting threatened by the king of the Underworld and all. I think
someone must have summoned it inside camp."
Chiron nodded, "yes that seems very likely."
"If I was to guess, I would say the lightning thief did it."
"Why are you so sure?"
"If I died then my protests would die as well. The Gods would be left
thinking I was the one who stole the bolt and with that being said they
would start their war. It just seems logical."
Chiron nodded, "yes it does. Do tell me what did the Oracle tell you?"
Percy repeated the prophecy and Chiron looked disturbed at this. "Alright
Percy it is decided, your quest will be this. Go to the west, if what the
Oracle say is true, and it always is, you will find the bolt along the way. You
need to reach the underworld and come back here by the 21st."
"Where is the entrance to the underworld?"
Chiron grumbled, "Hollywood."
"...I'm not really all that surprised. Alright then see you later Chiron."
"Wait Percy you need to pick two others to join you on your quest."
"Do I have to?"
"Yes you do," Chiron said with a stern look, "you need someone out there
to look out for you Percy."
"Okay…. is Grover better now?"
"Yes he has been spending his time with Juniper lately but if you ask I'm
sure he will say yes."
"Alright Grover and…. Luke."
"Luke?"
Percy nodded, "yeah. He's a good sword fighter and a great leader. He is
also old enough to know anything we would need to do. Also we are going
to the Underworld, would be handy to have theif with us, just in case."
Chiron nodded at Percy's reasoning, "a well taught out reason Percy. Very
well I will inform the two now, you on the other take this time to get ready
for the quest."
Percy nodded and soon student and teacher split up. Percy quickly walked
to Athena cabin where inside was just as busy as always. Percy walked in
and nodded to a few of them and went to his desk. He then picked up all
the notes he had made about Hades and how to trap a God and began to
leave before Annabeth came in his way.
"Percy where are you going?" Annabeth asked with concern.
"I have a quest Annabeth. I'm going west to Hades to save my mom."
"So that's why….," Annabeth said pointing to the notes in his hands.
"Yeah, the more I know about Hades the easier I can beat him."
Annabeth nodded, "smart move Percy. Quick question who's coming with
you?"
"Grover and Luke. I need Grovers help in case we run into an animal or
something and Luke's help incase we get stuck in a prison in Hades."
Annabeth nodded, "I see…. you going to pack your stuff now?"
"Yeah Annabeth. I'll you later. We all are leaving early tomorrow," Percy
and after a quick chat with Malcolm and the other campers Percy left the
cabin and walked to his own.
The entire night Percy spent checking and rechecking everything he had.
He needed to make sure everything was perfect.
He got loads of food, from the many days he had been sneaking it into his
inventory. His weapons were all sharp and ready. His armour would be
ready only later so Percy will have to make do without it.
After it was all finally done, Percy sighed and went to bed. The moment he
closed his eyes he fell asleep.
Ping!
You have slept in you own bed; HP and MP have been restored 100%
each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Percy woke up and saw it was a little passed 6. He quickly showed a few
things like clothes and his shield into a bag he got from the camp After all if
he didn't have a bag and kept pulling things out of the air things would start
to look a little suspicious.
Percy then made sure Riptide was in his pocket, it was, and then he went
to the entrance of the camp and walked passed it towards Thalia's tree.
There waiting on him was Luke and Chiron with the former having a bag
slung over his back similar to Percy's.
"Hey Percy," Luke called out.
"Hey Luke, were you waiting too long?"
"No just got here," Luke said and just then they saw Grover come out of
the camp as well, well running more like it. Then then reached PErcy and
stopped panting all the while.
"Out of shape G-man?"
"S-shut up P-Percy. Unlike you demigods we Satyr's don't have enhanced
stamina," Grover said with a girn.
"Well now that you're all here we can begin-"
"WAIT!" a voice cut in. The group turned and once again someone from
camp was running towards them. This time it was Annabeth and she had a
package in her hand. She reached them and smiled, "good you guys
haven't left yet."
"Why are you here Annabeth?"
"To give you this of course," Annabeth replied and gave Percy a book with
papers sticking out in various places and even a few book marks here and
there, "it's a book about the entire of US where you should go and what
you should avoid, demigod edition. Athena cabin has been making it for
some time and we thought the best test run for you would be this."
Percy then Observed it;
Book of US,
A book which contain vital information about the Us and all the
important areas in it for demigods. Listen to this book and treat it like
the bible.
Percy smiled and put the book inside his bag, "thanks Annabeth I'm sure
we will be able to put this book to good use."
Annabeth smiled and Luke then spoke up, "alright guys we need to move,
if we get to New Jersey before noon we can catch the train to L.A. from
there. If all goes well. But it won't so let's see."
Percy grinned, "you are such a pessimist Luke."
"What ever sea head, let's just get going."
Percy smiled and the three began their quest to find the lightning bolt. But
as they were going Percy couldn't shake this feeling of despair in his heart.
It was like something was about to happen. And he and his friends would
be in the middle of it.
Alright here you go the chapter for this week. I chose Luke because it
would be cool to see Percy fight him over the pit and all that. Also
more drama that way. Needless to say the plot has gone right through
the window.
Question,
Can Percy control other elements?: Yes, but am I going to do that?
Probably not. Maybe later like if he get's on Zeus good side or
something (which will never happen)
Marble skin?: Yeah It's still there Percy just never got a chance to use
it. He doesn't need to train in it so he doesn't really need to use it and
in all battles he had so far made him use his MP for offence not
defence.
Can other people enter Percy's ID?: Yes they can. If Percy is holding
them when creating an ID they can come with him. Also is a being is
strong enough, like a god, than they can ripe into Percy's ID and pull
him out.
Roman and Greek Percy?: Yeah sorry no. A little to late for that. You
see PErcy's gamer power is absolute. It's the Fates power, yes? So
they know everything and so Percy's power knows everything. Hence
when he looks at his bio it should say, 'son of Posedion/Neptune'. But
it's kind of too late for that. Plus it would just complicate things.
Chapter 79:
From camp Percy and his teammates got into the caamp van, which kind
of looked like the kind you kidnapped children in. Their driver was named
Argus, a being made by Hera as a security gaurd for the camp. He was
covered in eyes and didn't really speak, he was the first step for every
campers quest.
Soon they came to the bus terminal in the outskirts of Manhattan and they
waved goodbye to Argus who smiled. Percy then went to the bus terminal
and got three tickets to a trip straight to L.A.
Soon the three were waiting for their bus as a quite atmosphere settled
between them. Percy spoke up breaking the silence, "so…..the nymphs at
camp are kind of cute huh?"
Luke chuckled, "hell of an ice breaker Percy."
Grover laughed, "yeah. When we ever have an awkward situation we want
to get out off we'll call you."
Percy shrugged, "well at least I'm trying something."
"Well you're not wrong," Luke said with a grin, "they are pretty hot."
"Yup," Grover nodded his head, "the perfect creature of nature. They are
smart, beautiful and very….healthy."
"Don't you have a girlfriend?" Percy asked with a knowing smile.
"Well yeah I do but ah….. please don't tell her I said that. She will kill me,
very very slowly," Grover said with a pleading look.
"I don't know. It did seem like you loved the nymphs a whole lot. Especially
their….healthy bodies. What do you think Percy? Should we tell Juniper?"
Luke asked turning to Percy who was looking a little confused.
"Wait quick question when you guys say healthy bodies you mean like the
fact that they are very good swimmer right?" Percy asked with a
questioning look on.
"Ah...no Percy we don't," Grover replied with a sigh, "what we mean
is...ah...gods why did I have to be the one to explain the birds and the bees
to you? Why I mean is-"
"Boobs," Luke cut in, "we were talking about how the nymphs have huge
jugs."
Percy's face went red and he finally got the picture. Now that he thought
about it the nymphs that beat him up the other day did have some
huge….ah...boobs. Wait why am I stammering in my own head, that's just
silly. Let's try this some more times so that I don't stammer, boobs boobs
boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs boobs. There
we go. Wait a minute….
"So wait when Grover was talking about their healthy bodies he was talking
about thier boobs?"
Luke and Grover nodded and the former replied, "yup, perverted little
goat."
"Hey!" Grover cried out.
"Then we definitely go tell Juniper," Percy replied and smiled seeing
Grover's frightened look.
Thier bus came soon after that and Percy and the other two got on quickly.
They sat in the middle where there were fewer people with Percy and luke
on one side and Grover on the other. Poor Satyr had to sit next to a fat
man in a wife beater who smelled like beer and nachos. But better him
than me.
As the trip began the last two passengers got on and immediately Percy's
Bloodlust detect went off;
Ping!
Bloodlust detected! In front of you - Tisiphone and Megaera!
Percy recognized the names immediately. They were the other two furies,
Alecto's sisters. Well shit now what. Percy looked around nervously and
realised the back of the bus was less crowded with the last three rows
deserted.
"Luke Grove get up and follow me," Percy said and got up from his seat.
He then turned to see them look at him questionably, "now."
Luke nodded and Grover was more than happy to abandon his seat.
"What's going on Percy?" Luke asked with worry in his voice.
"How good are you at manipulating the mist?" Percy asked as he sat in the
last row occupying the center seat getting a view down the bus at the two
Furies who were slowly passing the middle of the bus.
"Very, why?"
"We have two monsters on our tail, when I say so put the mist up around
the back three rows and make sure the mortals can't hear us."
Luke nodded, "okay but I won't be able to hold it up and fight," Luke said
as he sat at Percy's right and started to suddenly use the mist, the Furies
were now five rows away.
"Grover when I say so grab the one on my left, got it?"
"R-right Percy," Grover said stammering and took his seat to Percy's left.
Percy then lowered his head to look like he was sleeping and the Furies
were now in front of him and the others as Percy felt Luke use the Mist to
block out everything else.
"We were waiting for you sea spawn," said one of the them with a raspy
voice.
"Ah I'm sorry but who are you?" Percy asked with a confused look on his
face.
"We are the Furies Tisiphone and Megaera," said the other, "and you killed
our sister!"
Luke's eyes went wide and grover became white. "Oh yeah now I
remember," I said with a look of recollection, "in my defence the bitch failed
me in pre-algebra." The two sisters growled and Percy quickly opened up
his inventory, "now Grover!"
The Satyr grabbed one of them while Percy quickly took out Riptide and
shoved the other one down the rows of seats on his right. He then swung
Riptide and cut off her head. He then moved, not even looking at her body
as it turned into dust, and kicked the other Fury into the left row of seat.
Percy then swung Riptide at her and cut her along her left arm, but she
wasn't dead. She then jumped out of the seat and grabbed Percy by the
neck and pushed him into the opposite row.
