Artemis shrugged as she sat down on the Fist of Zeus, "nothing much. It depends on the god, if you mean Hermes than he spends most of his time doing his duties as the messenger of the gods. But on the other hand there are gods like my brother who don't give two shits about their jobs and are more focused on getting laid or partying."
Percy nodded as he sat next to Artemis looking at the stars, "a god partying, wonder what's that like."
"Not that fun really, it's loud annoying and very boring."
"I thought that the Olympians had the best parties?"
"Well yes, but I'm not much of a party going god, I like my peace and quiet."
"I see, well I kind of get what you mean, the last party I went to was a mess," Percy said remembering that time in Boston right after he defeated Marchosias. He used the Mist to look like a 21 year old to sneak into a club with Grover Edward and….Luke.
"Wait...you went to a party?"
"Ah…," Percy looked like a deer caught in a set of highbeams, "yeah?"
"Aren't you a little young for that sort of thing?"
"Ah...yeah."
"So how did…..you used the mist didn't you."
"Ah...yeah."
Artemis shook her head, "irresponsible boy," she muttered causing Percy to look away in embarrassment. "So did you like it?"
Percy remembered the night, first he was confused by all the people there, and then came Attalia Ander. She taught him how to dance, gave him the confidence to even touch her before kissing him silly. Oh and there was also that minor kidnapping incident but that didn't ruin the night for him.
Percy smiled remembering the feeling of the woman's lips on his. Her soft auburn hair matched her red dress and her eyes shined like….wait, she had black hair. Percy blinked as slowly the mental image he had of Attalia changed to one of Artemis.
Percy shook his head clear and turned to the goddess who was still looking at him. "S-So how exactly am I supposed to get to Nassau?"
Artemis looked confused at the change of questioning but shrugged, "we got that covered," she said getting of the Fist of Zeus, "Tomorrow night, right after Clarisse leaves and your friends sneak aboard a ship will come to get you. It will be bright orange with sails of red and on it's flag with be a jolly roger with a cyclops's skull instead of a human's. The captain of the ship is…..an old friend of Hermes and will help you in your journey."
Percy lifted an eyebrow, the way she said friend meant there was a lot she was not telling him, "so who is this guy?"
Artemis smirked, "I'll let that be a surprise for you."
"Wait I know him?"
"If you know your greek mythology you will instantly know who I mean."
"Wait this guy is part of greek myth?!" Percy blinked, "you're not sending me along with some kind of nut case are you?!"
"Why do you think he will be a nutcase?"
"Is he from ancient greece?"
"Yes."
"The he is a nutcase."
"Percy I am from ancient Greece."
"Your a god, doesn't count."
"Chiron is from ancient Greece."
"He also doesn't count."
"Then who does count?"
"Monsters who like to eat demigods and people like Tantalus."
Artemis nodded, "yes Tantalus is very…..unique."
"You mean he's batshit crazy."
Artemis chuckled, "hehe, yes, he is crazy."
Percy smiled, "so...you want to get dinner or something?"
"Percy it is the middle of the night and you had dinner just an hour ago."
"I can always use a snack now and then," Percy said shrugging, "well?"
Artemis smiled but shook her head, "no Percy I must get going, the hunt needs me. We are tracking something important, something very powerful, if we don't get to it first it could mean the end of us all."
"Damn why is it always world ending consequences with you all?" Percy commented remembering what Mr. D said about why the gods couldn't help out the camp, "alright fine some other time than."
Artemis nodded, "some other time," she then flashed away leaving Percy alone in the forest.
Percy's heart dropped a little the moment the moon goddess was gone. Everything became dull and maybe it had something to do with her being the goddess of the moon or something, but the forest became darker now that she had gone.
The demigod sighed as he took the bag Hermes gave him and put them in his inventory. 'Well if I am already out here might aswell get some training done.' He sat down on the Fist of Zeus and opened his skill list looking for skills to train in. His ID create skill caught his eye, and to be more exact it was the dungeon he never used, Goblin camp;
ID Create, Lv-14 (75%)
Used to create Instant Dungeons. Higher the level, stronger the dungeon.
Current list-
Empty Dungeon- no monsters.
Monster Dungeon- Zombies
Monster Dungeon- Goblin Camp
Percy shrugged his shoulder and put a hand up in the air palm open, 'ID Creator: Goblin Camp.'
The entire world flashed red and suddenly the landscape shifted. Percy was startled but the change was over before it even began with him now suddenly no longer sitting down but standing in the middle of a large plain of grass with a tree line in front of him.
'Well this is certainly a first,' Percy said as he took out his gauntlet and Riptide. His dimensional power had literally changed the world, something that had never been done before. 'One of two things has happened, one the world changed, which seems unlikely, or two I was pulled somewhere else, like a pocket dimension of sorts.'
Percy took the second option as the more likely option and soon realised something was different in this world. He looked up to the sky, it was not red, not like before, it was blue and hanging in the blue sky was three moons. Percy blinked, 'well shit.'
Percy put a hand up, 'ID Escape.' He felt a blast of energy go out but nothing happened. Percy blinked before trying again, 'ID Escape!' Still nothing, 'ID ESCAPE! ID ESCAPE! ID ESCAPE!'
The world didn't change back and instead a box opened up in front of him;
Ping!
You cannot leave until you have defeated at the least 20 opponents!
Percy blinked, 'the rules are changing,' maybe this was how it was supposed to be, after all Percy never did immediately back out of an ID before now so he wouldn't really know the limits. Percy gripped his blade tightly and activated his marble skin technique, just in case something happens;
Marble Skin- 1,500 MP X 78 = 117,000 Defence
Percy's mana regeneration rate was at 25% per 1 minute meaning he would get all his mana back quickly. He closed the boxes in front of him and set out into the forest.
You have entered a forest!
+5 to all stats!
The trees were enormous as their branches looked as thick as Percy's waist. The demigod slowly moved deeper and deeper inside when suddenly;
Warning! Attack from behind!
Percy moved before even reading the message, he dived to the right as a rock flew passed where his head was a few moments ago. Percy rolled to the side and summoned a fireball in his hand launching it at where he saw the rock fly from.
"ARGH!" A figure fell from a tree with it's face on fire. It landed on it's neck with an audible crack as suddenly it stopped screaming.
Percy carefully walked over to the fallen being, it was green and had very little armour on. He then Observed it;
Goblin soldier
Lv- 15
HP: 800/800
MP0/0
Str-4
Vit-12
Dex-16
Int-3
Wis-2
Luc-1
A grunt of the goblin army, used as scouts and even canon fodder. There is nothing special about this goblin.
Kill to gain- 80 Exp
The goblin wasn't really worth much, barely on par with the fish soldiers he faced off with his dad. As the goblin vanished from sight it left behind what looked like a made at home slingshot and 20 bucks. Percy sighed putting the money away before continuing into the forest.
