Percy popped on his bed and stretched himself. His Gamer's body helped him with his fatigue but Percy could still feel how exhausted his muscles felt. Percy then remembered something, he had loot which he still had to go through. Pulling up his inventory PErcy quickly pulled out the two skill books he got from the museum.
Scroll of sword techniques
Skill book: Marble skin
Percy first picked up the scroll and opened it;
Ping!
You have obtained the Scroll of sword techniques, would you like to learn it?
YES/NO?
Percy picked yes immediately and the scroll bursted into yellow flames as Percy consumed it's knowledge. But just then two boxes showed up.
Ping!
Due to use of a skill book skill has leveled up!

Percy looked at the options available to him and wondered which he should chose. The first one was useless for him. Sure it was cool and all, something Zed would no doubt get plenty of use out of, but not him.
The third one was obviously one tailor made for Percy, it begged to be used by him, but he was torn, between that one and Stardust Wave.
The thing is, the attack Water's Kill didn't seem all that hard to make. Heck the attack was so simple in concept he could probably make it up like a new skill. But then again why take the risk? There was no guarantee he could replicate the attack, nothing to say Water's kill was a unique move that could be copied.
But Stardust stream is a unique move, and it's limited only by Percy's stat points. Maybe he should risk it. He did plan on improving his stats in Dex later in the future, maybe he should make an investment now and he will reap the reward later.
Percy shook his head, oh this is getting irritating! Percy got up and looked into his table and found a penny. 'Head's I take Stardust Wave, tails I take Water's Kill.' And with that Percy let it up to the coin to decide his fate.
He flicked it up and the coin spun. It landed on his palm the head's side up. 'Well that settle that,' Percy said as he clicked Stardust wave from the three given options.
Are you sure you want, Sword combo: Stardust Wave?
YES/NO?
Percy quickly pressed yes and the other two options disappeared and the knowledge of Stardust Wave flew into Percy's head.
Ping!
Congratulations! You learned Stardust Wave!

Percy closed the box and then turned to another book he got. This one was in the form of a white skull box. Percy picked it up and like expected;
Ping!
You have obtained the Skill book: Marble Skin, would you like to learn it?
YES/NO?
Percy immediately pressed yes and the book dissolved and percy got a nex box;
Ping!
You have learnt the Skill, Marble Skin!
Marble Skin, Lv-MAX
A skill that uses Mana that hardens your skin into marble. The more mana you use the denser it becomes.
Defence- (Amount of mana used) x Vit = Durability
Cost- depends on the user.
Percy looked at this skill in wonder, it seems this one can't be leveled up and relied full on how much mana he had, meaning he needed more, much more if he wanted to use it properly.
Percy then closed and leaned back onto his table, he had a lot of things to do. He needed to improve his stats, which he could do over the summer. Get some more money so that his mom can leave Gabe. And most of all he needed to find the lightning thief, so that his mom won't die. Damn the stupid quest why did he even except?
Percy shook his head and then sighed, somedays it was tough being this awesome, but today was...nice. It was a nice break from his dungeons and Greek fighting. It was a day he spent making a friend and grinding, it was different and a day Percy would remember.
Just as Percy got off the table and walked away he saw a rubix cube on the desk, 'is that Grover's?' Percy wondered as he picked it up. He then started to mess with it, trying to make the colours match. Just as he nearly got one side done he heard it;
Ping!
Due to constant use of your brain to figure out puzzles you have gained 1 Wis!
Percy looked at this and then back at the cube and then back at the screen. He then smiled like a cat and dismissed the screen. He then spent the rest of the night trying to solve the cube, his attention so focused he didn't even notice all the blue notification boxes popping up all around him.
Elsewhere,
The Fates looked at the scene of Percy solving the Rubik cube and smiled.
"It is good we gave the cube as a gift," one of the Fates said with a smile.
"Even if it looks like cheating," another said grumbling.
"In war, all is fair," the third replied in a neutral voice.
"We are not in war," the grumpy one said crossing her arms.
"Yet," the first one replied still smiling.
"Then it is time to meet him," said the neutral one, "after all Perseus Jackson has a role to play in all of this."
