Capítulo 80: Gntv
Chapter 330
Percy nodded, "I see…..hey Percy," the little kid turned to look at him,
"how would you like to run away from this place."
For a moment a spark of happiness went through the kid's eyes. A
strong and warm gust of wind blew through the forest almost like it was
reacting to the kids happiness. But just as quickly as it started it ended.
The son of Pan looked down, "no, I can't. Even if I did I wouldn't have
anywhere to go."
"Well you could come with me," Percy said, "there's a place for people
like us, a camp. If you want I can take you there."
"Wait, what? People like us? What do you mean?"
Percy blinked before realisation dawned on him, "oh yeah! I haven't
told you yet have I?"
"Told me what?" Little Percy started to look weary now.
'Is he nervous?' Percy wondered, 'of course he's nervous, why wouldn't
he be? A strange guy just showed up one day asked him about his life
history and then offered to kidnap him….wow I sound like a weirdo.'
"Well you see little Percy I am technically your….ah...let's see here Pan
is Hermes's kid, Hermes is Zeus's kid, which would make Hermes my
cousin...ah… oh forget this! I'm your cousin, there, let's keep this
simple."
"Wait, you're my cousin?!"
Percy nodded, "yup, on your dad's side."
"You know my dad?!" Little Percy jumped up and was on his feet, "who
is he?! Where is he?!"
Percy shrugged, "I don't know where he is, no one does. But I do know
who he is. His name is Pan, the greek God of the Wild."
Little Percy blinked, "my dad….is a god?"
Percy nodded, "yup. And that makes you a demigod kid."
The child of Pan looked at Percy in amazement, "bu-but that's
impossible! I can't be a-be a God!"
"I said demigod kid," Percy repeated, "there's a big difference between
a god and a demigod. And yeah, you are. Tell me mini me, have you
ever felt...I don't know, different? Like does words confuse you? Have
you ever felt unhappy sitting in one place, away feeling like you needed
to jump around and do thing?"
Little Percy's eyes went wide as he nodded, "yeah but I was told that
was because I was, dys-dys, ah dys-"
"Dyslexic, yeah we all are," Percy said sighing, "it's both a curse and a
blessing, believe me, one time I mistook dog for god and believe me I
pissed off a lot of people because of that."
"B-but I can't be-wait, my dad is goat?!"
"Half goat," Percy explained, "he's basically a Satyr, half man, half
goat. A little more on the goat than man, and I should know, I had one
for a roommate for a year but did that guy smell like wet goat a lot."
"But how do you know I'm a demigod?"
Percy shrugged, "it's a gift i got from my dad,"
Lie successful!
"Basically I can sense out people like us and tell who their godly
parents are."
"But how I be a demigod?" Little Percy asked still skeptical, "I can
barely beat off my cousins!"
Percy sighed, "there's a lot more to beginning a demigod than just
being able to kick ass, sure it's a huge part of it, but still just a part. And
as for proof…..well let's see, son of Pan so….. Ah ha! Okay how about
this, have you ever felt connected to the forest? Like does being in one
make you stronger?"
Little Percy thought about it for a few second before nodding, "yeah, I
do. Plus I some times when I hide in here Justin and Greg can't find
me, sometime I'm right in front of them and they can't see me!"
Percy nodded, "that's your divine side protecting you mini me. Your dad
was the lord of the Wild, so places like this would in fact help you
because it is part of your domain."
"Cool," the other Percy said with stars in his eyes, "wait, are you a
demigod Percy?"
Percy smiled and nodded, "yup," he got to his feet and slowly pulled all
the water from the air towards himself forming a trident, "I'm Percy
Jackson, son of Poseidon."
Little Percy was practically drooling at the sight of the water trident,
"that is so cool!"
Percy smiled and released the water weapon, "so mini me, tell me, do
you want to come with me and see the rest of the family?"
"There are more of us?!" He asked excitedly bouncing on his feet, "how
many?!"
"Around 100 or so," Percy said trying to remember, "but probably
more."
"And you guys would let me join? Just like that?! And I don't have to
pay anything"
Percy nodded, "yup, you are family after all."
The moment Percy called the child family it looked like he would die
from happiness. He looked up at Percy and nodded, "I want to come
with you! But...my aunt and uncle probably won't let me."
Percy smiled, "they can try, but I doubt they could stop me."
"I don't know, my uncle is a pretty good lawyer," Percy said before
sighing, "he wouldn't let me go and do anything fun. And my aunt
would freak out if she even thought I was leaving town."
Percy scratched his chin, "hey Percy, do you actually like them? Your
aunt and uncle I mean?"
Little Percy shook his head, "no, my uncle doesn't like me and my
aunt's mean. My mom was got all my grandpa's cash, and after she
died it went to my aunt on the condition she could only use it if she was
taking care of me. So she kinda puts up with me, but no I don't like her
at all."
Percy nodded and for the first time noticed the kids clothes, it was very
fancy looking and looked like it was made out of very expensive
material.
"Okay then kid, want to run away with me?" Percy asked with a smile.
"But my aunt-"
"Relax mini me, I doubt your aunt and uncle can do anything when it
comes to us. We demigods have the Gods backing us up, and you are
extra special, you have the entire wildlife backing you up."
Little Percy's eyes sparkled again with hope, "you're serious? This isn't
a joke right? You'll take me away from them?"
Percy smiled, "yup."
Immediately the little boy tackled Percy and enveloped him in a hug.
"Thank you," he whispered.
Percy smiled and patted the boy on the back, "no problem kid. Now,"
he broke the hug, "do you have anything you want to take with you?
Anything at all?"
Little Percy looked thoughtful before his eyes light up, "yeah, I have a
few things I want to take."
Percy nodded, "okay then, let's go to your house. You go in and start
packing up, I'll be waiting outside. Grab what you need and get out of
there without anyone looking."
The kid nodded, "right, but ah, how are we getting to this camp?"
Chapter 331
Percy smiled, "leave that to me, oh and before we start," Percy said as
he placed a hand over the kid's bruised eye. He then activated his
healing skills and used 500 Mp to heal up all the wounds the kid
received.
"Wow!" Percy said blinking his eyes repeatedly, "you can heal people?!
What else can you do?"
Percy smiled, "kid I could make you a list."
The two Percy's then walked out of the forest heading towards town.
They quickly walked towards the residential area filled with rows of
houses that looked identical to one another. Personally Percy hated it,
and the way little Percy grumbled at the sight of them told him that he
hated it as well.
They walked to the 14th house on the right, it looked the same as all
the others, Percy didn't really know how little Percy knew that this one
was the right now.
"My room is up there," the son of Pan pointed to the window on the roof
to the right, "and I think my aunt's home so if I go in there and she sees
me, she might start lecturing me again. I kind of ran away in the middle
of breakfast."
PErcy nodded, "sneaking in isn't a problem," Percy then picked up the
little kid with one arm and jumped high enough to clear the ground floor
and reach the roof.
"This is so cool!" Little Percy shouted.
"Quite mini me!" Percy hissed as he slid down the roof and reached the
window. He then pushed just enough of his earthquake vibrations into
the window frame to loosen the latch on it causing it to swing open.
Percy entered the room and dropped the son of Pan off. "Just give me
a second and I'll get everything," Little Percy said as he grabbed his
bag and began flying through the room picking up things left and right.
While he was doing that Percy looked around the room. The kid didn't
have anything unique in his room, it just looked so bland and boring.
There weren't any pictures up, no photos, no books. There was
nothing, except one small table and a bed.
"I'm ready," little Percy said.
Percy looked over his shoulder in surprise, "that was fast. What did you
bring?"
"A few clothes, some cash and this," he opened his arms revealing a
small potted plant inside, "my aunt and uncle were very strict about
how my room could look and be, I didn't really have much to be
attached to, but I have this. They wanted me to get rid of it, but I hide it
away from them."
Percy smiled, "well you are a son of Pan, it would be insulting if you
didn't have a plant with you. Anyway, you sure you don't want anything
else?"
The boy nodded, "I have everything I need."
"Do you want to write a note or something? I know you hate them but
they deserve to know where you are."
Pan's son shook his head, "they wouldn't care. All they would want is
the money, if I just leave out of the blue they might get into trouble with
the police or something. Maybe then they might get what's coming to
them."
Percy smiled, "okay then," the then opened his inventory and enlarged
it, "you may want to close your eyes for this part."
The son of Pan nodded and quickly closed his eyes. Percy picked him
up and put him into his inventory for safe keeping, now he didn't have
to drag the kid along when he went to Las Vegas.
Percy jumped out of the window and ran away from the house. Once
he was sure no one saw him Percy slid up his goggle, activated his
helmet and immediately took off again. With his stomach half full Percy
knew he had just enough energy to travel to LV as he quickly left the
edge of Utah running into the center of the state.
It took another hour but by 10 in the morning Percy had reached Las
Vegas.
The city was….. Disappointing to say the least. Everything just looked
tired and worn out. Maybe it was because it was 10 in the morning, but
no one really seemed all that festive. The attractions were interesting,
but Percy was offended by the fake Lady Liberty, as a New Yorker he
knew the real on and this one was just a cheap knock off.
Percy spent an hour walking around and munching on any road side
food he could get his hands on. He asked for directions for the Lotus
hotel and casino and mostly got wrong directions, the middle finger or
in one case got asked out by a prostitute….yeah, that last one was not
an experience he wanted to share.
Eventually though Percy found the Lotus Hotel and casino, it looked
just like an ordinary hotel, but there was something about it that pissed
Percy off. Using his newly acquired mana scene PErcy tried to feel out
what type of magic was going on in there;
Mind manipulation charm,
A charm placed on all those who enter to never want to leave. It is
activated by $% #$ #$% and traps the user inside forever.
Percy raised an eyebrow at this. Guess he needed to increase his
Mana sense level to find out more about the charm. But either way
Percy wasn't really all that bothered, since their magic was meantal
based it wouldn't effect him thanks to the Gamer's mind skill.
Percy quickly entered the casino and immediately he was assaulted by
a barrage of lights and colours. The inside of the casino looked like a
never ending party with lights and music assaulting Percy's scenes. It
was the exact opposite to the quiet city just outside it's door.
Just then a man in a well dressed suit walked up to Percy and smiled,
"as our honored guest! We have your room ready sir, just come this
way and-"
"Yeah shut up, your mental manipulations won't work on me asshole,"
Percy cut the man off, "I'm here looking for someone, well two
someones, two kids that has been here since the 1940's, have you
seen them?"
Chapter 332
The man shook his head, "I'm afraid I do not know what you mean sir.
But you are welcome to check around if you wish, in fact here," he
gave Percy a green casino card, "this will grant you unlimited access to
the ballroom and gaming area. Why don't you look around? I'm sure
you'll find your friends around here somewhere."
Percy nodded accepting the card, "thanks man, you're alright. Sorry
about calling you an asshole before."
"It's quite alright sir, please enjoy your stay," the man then bowed and
walked away leaving Percy alone. PErcy looked at his card and used
Observe;
Lotus Cash Card,
This card may be used as a debit card anywhere.
Money contained within- Infinite.
Percy's eyes nearly threatened to pop out of his eyes. He use this Mist
control to try and check whether the Mist was playing games with him,
but no, it was true. The card had infinite money, and now it was
Percy's.
'I am so going to spoil mom with this thing,' Percy told himself as he put
the card in his jacket and walked around the place searching for Nico
and Bianca.
The Hotel itself was huge, it was around 20 stories tall, and more
seemed to be on the way. There was an indoor water slide that Percy
so wanted to try along with a bungee rope bridge in the lobby. The real
attraction though was the huge buffet located near Gaming room.
Percy's eyes widened in wonder, they was so much of them, so many
different types of food! Percy went super speed and began stuffing his
face full of every type of food he could get, the Mcdonald's was
wearing off already.
Percy had eaten 12 pizza pies, 13 apple pies, 23 vanilla milkshakes,
40 boxes of chicken nuggets and one plate of salad. What? He wanted
to be healthy.
The food also didn't seem to be running out, it just kept coming and
coming and Percy ate until he was full. The other guests didn't even
look at him funny, they seemed like they weren't bothered, which suited
Percy just fine.
'Damn I spent a lot of time eating already,' Percy thought out as he
looked to his watch, which was suddenly now working, again. 'That's it
I need a new watch. Maybe I can get the Hephaestus kids to make me
one.'
After Percy ate his fill he opened up his inventory and spent the next
hour stuffing it full of food. 'This is heaven!' Percy thought to himself as
he pulled more and more food into his inventory, he decided that if he
ever ran low on food ever again he should totally come here, it was so
worth the four hour run.
Soon Percy's inventory was filled with enough food to last any normal
human 2 years. Percy then finally drew himself away from the buffet
and went to the Gaming room where it seemed a lot of the people were
gathered.
Percy activated his 8.0 Eyesight and began searching the room for
Nico and Bianca. He focused on short people, after all they were
supposed to be 12 and 10. Percy's eyes flew through the room but
there were just too many people, he needed to do something else.
"NICO? BIANCA?!" Percy began shouting at the top of his voice as he
walked along the gaming room. He shouted for hours but he never got
a response. Eventually though PErcy decided to take a break and
leaned on the wall looking across the room for any sign of the children
of Hades.
Just then Percy's eyes were suddenly drawn towards an empty coming
counsel sitting right in front of him. Percy approached the machine
cautiously and looked at the title, 'My Like if a Video Game.'
Percy wanted to chuckle at the name for the game, 'sorry man my life
already is a video game.' Percy walked away from the counsel and
began his search again, it had been at least an three hours since he
came in here and he had nothing to show for it.
PErcy eventually felt like giving up when suddenly he had an idea. If
they were the children of Hades that meant they probably could control
the shadows. So all Percy had to do is use his man scent and feel for
people with that ability!
Percy immediately closed his eyes and activated Gamer's mind
drowning out the sound form the roo. He reached out with his mana
sense skill and spread it outwards. It went out like a sonar wave and a
huge barrage of information came back to Percy.
Ping!
A new skill has been created!
Mana wavesense , Lv-1 - A wave of mana is sent outwards
allowing you to feel the area around you like a sonar. Cost - 200
MP
It seemed the air itself was infected with the mind manipulation charm
and that the gaming console everyone was playing was the thing that
finally trapped a person here. Percy could also feel a variety of different
demigods inside the casino, some where children of Apollo, others
were children of Athena, but one….one felt unique, almost like Percy
knew that scent of mana.
Percy eyes opened wide as he quickly turned to that familiar scent of
mana and found a man standing in front of him over a billiards table
playing with other people. Percy looked at the man's name and title;
Jonathan Filius, Son of Poseidon
Lv- 28
Percy's eyes shot open, 'another son of Poseidon?! How the hell is this
guy alive?!' Percy looked at the man and noticed he looked old, around
his late 20's to say the least. The man also was dressed like an
american soldier during world war 2, meaning this man had been
trapped in here the same time as Nico and Bianca!
Percy then looked around, there were so many demigod inside this
place. A daughter of Hermes that looked like he came right out of the
60's, a son of Ares dressed up like a punk with a purple mohawk, a
daughter of Demetre that resembled someone from the late 1920's, a
son of Hecate that looked like he was part of a biker gang.
They all were trapped in here, most were around Percy's age, a few
older like his….his brother.
'I need to get them out of here,' Percy realised, 'I need to get them all
out of here. But….but if I do then will they survive? The world outside
has changed so much….would they be able to adapt?...should I even
try? No! No! I cannot be the judge on this, I will not! They will decided,
I'll take them back to camp, if they don't want to stay and wish to come
back to the casino then fine, but I will give them that choice.'
Chapter 333
So Percy moved, he activated his super speed and grabbed every
single one of the demigod he could find. He first grabbed his half
brother Jonathan and threw him into the inventory. He quickly ran
through the game room floor and grab each and every demigod he
could and then dropped them into his inventory.
Percy had collected a total of 21 new demigod, not including little
Percy, but he still wasn't done.
"Stop right there!" A security gaurd called out as several started to
chase after Percy.
"Oh bite me," Percy mummered as he poured mana into his crystal and
summoned Zed, Timmy and Craig. The monsters looked at Percy for
orders, "distract them, I need to get something."
The three nodded and they launched into battle with the security
guards, who were actually monsters in disguise. The moment the battle
started the monsters shed of their skins and revealed a huge plant like
body underneath. Roots and vines made up their muscles while tree
barks made up their bones.
"This is going to be fun!" Timmy said as he formed blades out of the
wind.
"Finally I get someone who like to talk!" Zed cried out, "this one," he
pointed at Craig, "doesn't like to banter."
"I simply have less to say," Craig grumbled out as the three jumped into
battle with the plant monsters.
Percy zoomed across the floor sending wave after wave of mana to
sense Nico and Bianca. Finally he got a hit, he felt something cold and
dark, two somethings in fact. Percy turned to one corner of the room
and saw two children at the corner playing chess.
'Chess?...Well I suppose that fits, after all they wouldn't' know what a
videogame is,' Percy ran and stopped right in front of them drawing
both their attentions away from the board and to him.
"Can we help you?" The girl asked. She looked around 12 and had
olive skin like PErcy. She and her brother both had black hair and black
eyes, and both wore very old clothes. Nico had a pair of slack with
suspender on over a coat while his sister wore a red dress with a scarf
around her neck.
"Yeah, I'm here to get you both out of this place," Percy said as the two
siblings slowly got of their seats.
"Really? You don't seem like the lawyer we talked to before," Bianca
said suspicious.
"Oh who cares," Nico groaned, "it's been forever since we left!"
"Don't exaggerate Nico, it's only been a month"
"A month? Sigh, we'll deal with that later. Look I'm a friend of your
dad's" PErcy explained, "well not friend, I'm just doing a favour for
him."
"You know our dad?" Nico asked with his eyes sparkling, "who is he?"
"It's a long story kid, look I just need you two to come with me," Percy
said looking around to see Zed cut one of the flower guards into
pieces, "now."
"No hold on just a minute, we will not be going anywhere with you
unless-"
"-I don't have time for this!" Percy yelled out as he grabbed Bianca and
carried her like a bride. He opened his inventory and threw her inside
before turning to Nico.
"What did you do to my sister?!" Nico shouted as he charged Percy
with fists clenched trying to hurt him.
"Relax kid she's safe," Percy said catching both of Nico's fists and
lighting him up, "and now your turn."
"Get off! I demand you get off me!" Nico yelled out but Percy ignored
him throwing him into the inventory and closing it.
Percy then turned to his servants, "it's time to go!"
"Right!" They responded as they dissolved into smoke and entered
Percy's gem.
Percy then turned around and took off in a breakneck pace past the
Gaming room and through the Casino entrance.
Percy stopped the moment he reached outside, it was night time.
Percy looked at his watch and saw that it was working again. It was
around 9 in the night, Percy had been trapped in there for more than 11
hours!
'Maybe it's some kind of time manipulation charm,' Percy wondered as
he looked back to see whether he was followed, he wasn't, he got out
scott free.
Percy sighed in relief and then began to walk out into the Vegas night.
The city was so much different from just 11 hours ago, there were lights
on everywhere and people were out and about dressed up in their
best.
Percy was amazed at all he saw, it almost made him want to enter a
real casino and try out his luck, but he had a mission to complete.
Maybe he would come here for his birthday or something.
Percy smiled and put on his goggles activating his helmet, he had to
admit, this thing was kid of growing on him. He then activated his super
speed and zoomed out of the city leaving the lights behind.
It took three hours of constant running for him to get hungry again. This
time he chose a Taco Bell to get something to eat and after the quick
pit stop he continued his run. He reached camp at 1 in the night, and
immediately went to the Big House to find someone, anyone to help
him out with the extra demigods he had brought with him.
Percy stopped running in front of the porch and quickly entered the big
building. He looked round and found the War room's door was slightly
ajar. 'They must be having a meeting,' Percy realised as he quickly
walked into the room pushing open the door.
The room immediately stopped all talking and all turned to face Percy.
Percy saw all the head counselors there, including Chiron, Dionysus
and an awake Thalia.
"Percy, your back!" Annabeth cheered as she ran up and hugged
Percy.
"Wow, I wasn't' gone that long was I?" Percy asked as he tried to
avoiding thinking about the way Annabeth's boobs were pressed up
against him.
"I was worried, we tried to Iris message you but couldn't get through,"
Annabeth explained breaking the hug.
"Hey man," Travis and Connor Stool stood up and hugged Percy next,
"we thought you were in trouble or something."
"No, nothing bad happened, I just ran into some unexpected trouble,"
Percy said hugging both the brothers before turning to Chiron, "heya
teacher, fancy seeing you here."
Chiron smiled, "get over here Percy."
Percy smiled and quickly went and tightly hugged his old teacher, "it's
good to have yo back Chiron, you wouldn't believe how much of a nut
case your replacement was."
"Oh I have an idea," Chiron said grining, "something about him crazy,
right Lord Dionysus?"
The Olympian huffed, "whatever. Now, I heard you had some kind of
self imposed quest Peter Johnson, care to share?"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "didn't Annabeth tell you Lord Dionysius?"
"I didn't know whether you wanted me to tell them or not," Annabeth
explained, "considering the nature of the problem."
"Right, well it all started yesterday night when I received a message
from Hades, he needed a favour from me."
"You did that God a favour?!" A sharp voice through. Percy turned and
saw Thalia walk upto to him with a smell of ozone flowing off her.
Chapter 334
"What's with the hostility sparky? You know people usually wait until I
say something to them before, they get pissed of."
"Hades is the reason I got turned into a fucking tree," Thalia narrowed
her eyes, "and don't call me sparky."
"Right, forgot about the whole tree thing. Well I did do him a favour, but
it wasn't for him, it was for his kids," Percy said as the two stared each
other down, Percy was much shorter than Thalia, but his presence was
stronger than hers. Now that he looked closely Percy realised the girl
was even prettier awake. He hair was spiked and all over the place and
the blue highlights really matched her electric blue eyes. Her thighs
looked like they were going to tear her jeans, and the way her legs kept
going on and on…., 'okay, I have a problem.'
"Wait, kids?" Lee Fletcher asked, "Hades had kids? As in plural?"
Percy turned away from Thalia and nodded, "he had two kids, a girl
and a boy."
"Great, just what we need, more annoying brats," Dionysus said
finishing his drink in swing, "it's time like this when I wish I could still
drink."
"Where are they Percy? Did you mage to get them?" Annabeth asked.
Percy nodded, "yeah, I got them. Well…..more like kidnapped them. I
didn't really have time to explain to them what was going on, so I just
tossed them into my storage space and moved on."
"Storage space?" Selina asked confused, "what do you mean?"
Percy sighed, "right, you guy's don't know. Well it doesn't matter now,
Kronos and his army knows, there's no point keeping my powers a
secret from you guys any more. Annabeth could you explain, I'm
exhausted."
"Percy has a unique power," Annabeth explained letting Percy sit down
and relax, "it allows him to create unique pocket dimensions."
"Pocket dimensions?" Thalia asked surprised, "what the hell are
those?"
"It's when a large amount of space is folded into itself so that it only
occupies a small amount of space in our world," Chris Benkendorf
spoke up.
Annabeth nodded, "right, and Percy has access to different kinds. He
has one in which he puts and carries everything he owns, sometimes
he can even carry people in it."
"He saved my life using that trick," Clarisse spoke up as she slammed
her hand on Percy's back, "I still owe you for that water brain."
Percy smiled and Annabeth continued, "he calls this pocket dimension
of his 'The Inventory,' like the kind people use in video games. He can
also create whole new worlds filled with monsters that he, and
sometimes us, use to train ourselves."
"He can make a new world?!" Thalia asked shocked.
"Wicked!" Travis and Conner yelled out together.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" Castor, the son of Dionysus asked.
"I didn't trust you all before," Percy shrugged, "in my defence I had just
learnt that I was a unique individual in a world where flying horses are
considered normal. I was scared to trust you all."
"You saved our lives Percy," Lee Fletcher said, "you really think we
would have betrayed you?"
Percy narrowed his eyes at Dionysus and the God shook his head.
Percy wanted permission to tell the other about the fact that there
might be a spy among them, but the god denied him.
Percy sighed, "look that's all in the past now. What matters is the
future. War is coming to our door steps, we need to be ready."
"Any suggestions oh fearless leader?" Thalia asked sarcastically.
"Many my dimwitted subordinate," Percy replied back.
"Subordinate?! Who the hell you calling a subordinate?!" Thalia
shouted out as the ozone around her grew thicker.
"I love the fact that you had a problem with subordinate and not with
the fact I called you stupid."
"Oh good lord," Thalia groaned, "is he always this annoying?"
"Yes," everyone spoke up instantly.
Percy huffed, "liars."
"Etherway we are getting off topic," Chiron said drawing everyone back
to topic, "Percy those children you brought back, are they alright?"
Percy nodded, "yeah, physically at least. I'm not to sure about their
mental health. I had to drag them out of the Lotus Hotel and Casino."
"What's that?" Selina asked.
"Do you remember the legend of Odysseus and the Lotus people?"
Annabeth asked. Everyone nodded, "well this place is basically the
modern version of them."
"How do you know that?" Percy asked surprised.
"I researched it while you were gone," Annabeth replied.
"Right, anyway I found them trapped inside, they thought that they had
only been in there for around a month or so, but in reality they had
been in that place for more than 60 years."
"Woah," Lee whistled out, "so they are from the 1940's?"
Percy nodded, "right, and so when I bring them out of my pocket
dimension they are going to be confused, we need to help them
readjust to life."
"Right then," Chiron said, "bring them out Percy, let's get this over
with."
Percy nodded and opened his inventory, "oh and there's one more
thing I forgot to mention."
"What?"
"They weren't the only demigods trapped in there," Percy said getting
odd looks from everyone, "there were lot's of people trapped in the
hotel and a few of them were demigods. Some of them were adults
while the others were around our age. I didn't know what to do with
them, so I brought them all anyway."
"Percy," Dionysus asked with a shaky voice, "h-how many new
demigods did you find?"
Percy started to count all of them in his inventory before answering,
"24, I brought back 24 demigods."
The demigods looked shocked and impressed at the number while
Chiron just smiled in approval of Percy's act of heroism. Dionysus
however stopped moving, slowly his eyes rolled to the back of the head
as the god lost his grip on his can of coke fell. He then fell off the chair
and fainted on the spot.
Chapter 334:
Percy stood in front of the Big House with the rest of the camp a good
20 feet behind him.
Percy turned around, "you sure you guys don't want to come closer?"
"No it's okay," Lee Fletcher called out, "we don't want to get in your
way."
"And you Hermes?" Percy asked the messengers of the gods who sat
next to Dionysus on the porch of the Big House sipping a glass of milk.
"No thanks," Hermes said, "I just came here to observe and report
back."
Percy nodded, "if you say so."
After Dionysus fainted last night they had decided to wait till morning to
release the demi gods. After all 24 new demigods would be a lot to
handle, they would the entire camp to back them up. At breakfast
Percy had to step up and basically explain to everyone about his
inventory powers, which got him a few odd looks from the crowd. They
thought he was joking, until he pulled out a shield from thin air. It took
some time but people got the general gist of his powers, and here they
all were.
He opened his inventory and quickly looked through it and chose the
first demigod to release.
Percy reached in and pulled out a young boy with brown hair and
sparkling blue eyes.
"Yo mini me," Percy said grinning ear to ear as he placed the kid down,
"welcome to camp," Percy stepped to the side and gave the young boy
a full view of all the campers.
"WOW!" Little Percy yelled out with a twinkle in his eye, "this is so cool!
You kept your promise Percy!" The young shouted as he charged and
grabbed Percy in a tight hug.
"Oph," Percy puffed out as the kid nearly took out all the air in him. He
patted the kid on the back, "well a promise is a promise kid."
"Who is he Percy?" Annabeth asked drawing both Percy's attention to
the rest of the camp.
"Oh right, introductions. Camp meet Percy Decker," Percy said as he
patted the boy on the shoulder again.
"No another one!" Michael yelled out, "camp is barely surviving with
one Percy!"
"Shut up Michael no one asked your opinion!" Percy growled out.
"Bite me fish head!"
"Shut up or I'll rip the strings off of your guitar!" Percy shouted as he
turned to little Percy, "don't mind him, he just likes to be annoying."
"Like your one to talk!"
"Shut up Michael!"
"Ah hm," Dionysus cleared his throat drawing everyone's attention, "as
much as I would love to see you two engage in verbal spares we do
have, sigh, 23 more demigods to get through, so if you would please
continue with the introduction Peter," Dionysis motioned for Percy to
continue.
"Who is that weirdo and why did he call you Peter?" Little Percy asked
causing the entire camp including Hermes to explode in a fit of laughter
leaving Dionysus with a headache.
"That mini me is Dionysus, the god of wine," Percy said as slowly the
child of Pan started to pale a little, "don't worry, he might look me but
underneath it all he's a big softie. And sometimes he purposefully calls
you by the wrong name, but that's just because he doesn't like getting
close to any demigods."
Percy then turned to Hermes, "and you see that thin dude in the red
track suit, he's Hermes god of messengers, your grandfather."
Hermes blinked, "he's my legacy?"
Percy shook his head as his smile grew bigger, "nope. Percy," he
turned to the kid, "why don't you introduce yourself?"
"A-ah, you sure?" The little boy asked uncertain.
Percy nodded, "go ahead man."
The boy nodded as he slowly walked forward, "ah, hi everyone. I'm
Percy Decker, and I'm the son of Pan."
The camp went silent when suddenly Dionysis got off of his seat so fast
Percy swore he heard the sound barrier break, "WHAT?! YOU'RE THE
SON OF PAN?!"
"Percy are you sure?" Hermes asked as he zoomed up to the kid
before looking at him with a keen eyes.
"Yeah, my powers for identifying demigods kicked in and told me so-"
Lie successful!
"-The kid felt like the forest, like Grover did. But it was more powerful,
more…. Godly. So I put two and two together. Was I right?"
Hermes nodded, "he has Pan's eyes, I'm not sure, but I think he is
Pan's kid."
Just then a green Satyr head appeared over little Percy's head lighting
up the ground with it's forest green glow.
"Well that settles it," Percy said smiling, "you're definitely Pan's kid
now."
The entire camp bust into chatter and whispers as everyone gave the
boy side glances. Little Percy fell into himself in agitation and worry.
"Percy what's going on?" The kid asked.
Percy knelt down and placed his hands on the boy's shoulder, "it's
simply mini me, you just got claimed."
"What does that mean?"
"Why don't you look up and find out?"
The boy did just that and when he did he saw the green Satyr head
above him glowing brightly, "woah!"
"Yup, that means your dad just acknowledge you as his son, pretty cool
right?"
"Yeah, but why does everyone act like it's a big deal? Their acting like
I'm different. This is normal right Percy?"
The son of Poseidon nodded, "relax mini me it's perfectly normal. It's
just…. remember when I told you that you were an extra special
demigod because of your dad?"
The kid nodded, "yeah."
"Well you see mini me your dad is the lord of the Wild and recently he's
gone missing. No one knows where he is, your mom was probably the
last person to have even seen him and you are his son. You're a big
deal kid."
"Percy the little one looks hungry," Hermes spoke up, "maybe we
should get him something to eat."
Percy nodded, "that's right you haven't had anything except some
french fries."
"It's okay, I don't get hungry often," little Percy said holding onto Percy,
"if it's all the same with you can I stay here?"
Chapter 335
Percy looked to Hermes who shrugged. Percy smiled, and turned to
little Percy, "sure mini me, though you're going to have to let go my leg.
I have a job to do and I need the leg to do it. How about this, see that
pretty blonde girl over there with the know it all type of attitude?" Percy
pointed to Annabeth who huffed in amusement at the know-it-all
comment,"that's Annabeth, one of my best friends, why don't you wait
with her and she'll make sure to make you feel at home."
Little Percy nodded and quickly walked away leaving Percy alone.
"Well if that was just the first one this might turn out to be a longer day
than I originally thought," Dionysis commented as he took a swing from
his can.
Percy nodded and quickly pulled out the second demigod, Jonathan
Filius, his half brother.
The man wore a khaki formal soldier's uniform without the cap on top.
Medals lined his left uniform and on his right hip was a holstered gun.
The man had blonde hair but his eyes were a shade darker than
Percy's. He looked around dazed and confused.
"Wh-where am I?" The man asked looking at all the kids, "who are you
all?"
"Hello John, my name is Percy," Percy said drawing the man's attention
to him, "can I call you John?"
The man blinked, "ah, yes, yes you may. Where am I?"
"John I need to ask you a few questions okay? What was the last thing
you remember John? Before all of this, what do you remember?"
"I was-I was going back to the hotel," the man said as the visible
struggle to remember things clouded his mind, "I was going back to my
hotel when a friend dragged me into the casino. It was so nice there
and...and…. I just stayed there. Oh good lord how long was I in there?"
"60 years, give or take," Dionysis commented.
"Dude! Not cool!" Percy cried out.
"60 years?!" The man shouted, "that's impossible?! How could I have
been in there that long?! I remember being there only for a month! Two
at the most!"
"Woah, woah, relax man everything's alright," Percy interviewed seeing
the man going into a visible melt down over this, after all he just learnt
that he outlived the era he grew in. "Your safe here, do you know who
you are? What you are?"
"What?! Just what the hell are you insinuating boy?!" The man
shouted.
"Wow relax man we are all friends here, none of use are insinuating
anything," Percy quickly replied defusing the tension, "we just want to
talk, that's all. So let's not do anything, irrational," Percy's eyes went to
the man's pistol.
John looked at Percy and then at the rest of the camp, "where am I?"
"Your in place, a special place for people like you."
"People like me?" John asked again as his voice was layered with
anger, "what do you mean people like me?"
"You know," Percy said motioning for the man to catch on but he never
did, "wait…. You don't know do you?"
"Don't know what? That I'm a bastard?!" John's voice came out harsh,
"yeah I know that alright, you people never let me forget it."
'Ah so that's why he was acting cranky. He must have been bullied in
the army for being born out of wedlock. The 1940's must have been
tough for him' Percy realized.
"Well then if you're bastards then so are the rest of us," Percy said
motioning to the rest of camp, "aren't we guys?!"
"Yup!" Someone cried out.
"Totally 100% bastards!" Peter yelled out.
"And you're the biggest one Percy!"
"Shut up Michael!" Percy yelled again before turning to John, "look
John we are all the same. We all share something in common. Each of
us has a parent who was...well first tell me this, do you know Greek
history?"
The man nodded dumbly still stunned by the entire camp openly
admitted to being bastards, "yes, I learnt a little in college."
"Well then you know about demigods then."
The man nodded, "yeah, but what does that have to do with me?"
"Tell me John which deviation of the US armed forces were you
assigned to? I'm guessing it was the Navy, right?"
John nodded, "yeah, how did you know?"
"It's because of who you are John," Percy said, "you chose the Navy
because you felt a deep connection to the sea right? You feel so
closely connected to it that sometimes when you swim it almost feel
like you can breath underwater goth?"
John's eyes went wide in surprise, "h-how could you possibly know
that?"
A few Athena kids had figured it out as well as some of the smarter
campers. Dionysis simply just groaned out, "great, another one."
"It's because I'm the same as you John," Percy said as he approached
the man, "I feel the exact same way you do when it comes to the sea. I
feel it strengthen me, and do you know why John?"
"Why?"
"Because we are brothers," Percy said as he used his mana to call
forth the moisture in the air to form a water trident, "and we are the
children of Poseidon, the God of the Seas."
John looked stunned and with wide eyes at the trident as he slowly
touched it. The monment he got a good grip on it Percy let go allowing
John to control the water. Suddenly a bright green trident appeared
over John's head acknowledging him as Percy's brother.
"T-This is amazing!" John exclaimed as he twirled the weapon around,
"how is this even possible?"
"Because you are a demigod John, like everyone here," Percy said,
"you are a child of the Greek Gods."
"God is real?!"
"Well the Greek gods are, so is the Christian God but we try not to
think about him."
John still looked skeptical, "so the Greek Gods are real?"
Percy nodded, "yup, hey if you want proof just looked behind you. See
that guy in the red track suit? That's Hermes messenger of the Gods."
Chapter 336
Hermes smiled and waved as John waved back stunned, "he's a
God?"
"Yup."
"Are you sure? Because I don't think that a God would dress like that."
After that little comment Hermes threatened to try and kill John.
Eventually everyone calmed down and Percy had Nina sit down with
John and explain to him what was going on. Percy wished he could do
it himself, after all the man was his half-brother, but he still had 22
demigods to release.
Percy quickly went through the rest of the demigods. Luckily after the
first five or so, calming them down and explaining the whole trapped in
a place that diluted time story came to him easily. Percy first claimed
the understandably freaked out demigod before one of their fellow
siblings, or anyone who ventured, took them into the Big House and
explained to them what was going on.
There were around 4 children of Ares, 1 daughter of Hermes, who was
immediately hugged by the God of messenger, a daughter of demeter,
a son of Hecate, 2 children of Morpheus, a daughter of Aphrodite that
kind of resembled Marilyn Monroe, a pair of twin sons of Apollo, a
daughter of Pothos (god of Lust, and gods was she lust worthy), a son
of Nemesis, a son of Nike, a daughter of Hebe, a daughter of Notus,
two children of Athena and two children of Hephaestus.
Needless to say it was a long process.
Luckily most of the people who Percy released didn't want to go back
there, they hated the experience. Most of demigods were children,
around 12-14, they had usually stumbled onto the Lotus Casino when
they were being chased by monsters. Most say that when they were in
trouble the casino would just magically appear in front of them and they
would go inside to hide now knowing the dangers inside.
There were three adults in total, including John. The other two adults
was the daughter of Demeter and the son of Nemesis. The only reason
the demigods had survived so long without knowing their true origin
was because they had all joined the military early on in their life and
were protected from any monsters. The daughter of Demeter was a
nurse while John and the son of Nemesis were old army buddies that
got trapped in the casino together.
Eventually though there was only two left. Percy had been saving
these for last.
The son of Poseidon reached into his inventory and pulled out a 12
year old girl dressed in a fancy dress. She looked at Percy and then to
everyone else around her before stammering out a response, "where in
God's blue Earth am I?"
"Somewhere safe Bianca," Percy promised her as he put her down
making sure she was steady before reaching in and pulling out Nico as
well.
"Let go of me asshole!" The little boy kicked and screamed as he tried
to punch Percy the moment he came out of the inventory, "what did
you do to my sister?!"
"Nothing!" Percy protested as he jumped away from the son of Hades
fists, "see there she is safe and sound."
"Nico what are you doing?" Bianca yelled out causing Nico to stop and
look at his sister.
"Bianca! Your safe! I thought he hurt you!" Nico jumped and hugged his
sister.
"Hurt me? Why would he do that? In fact who are you? Where are
we?"
Percy sighed and eventually gave her the now routine speech about
her being a demigod and her being trapped in that casino from over 60
years, blah blah blah.
"Wait so you're all," Bianca said looked at all the people gathered
around, "demigods?"
"Yup," Percy nodded.
"And so are we?"
"Yup," Percy nodded.
"I-I don't know what to say to that," Bianca said as she looked around
in shocked.
'Her entire understanding of life had just been shattered. She had just
learnt that not only did she have a dad, he was basically immortal and
a God! She didn't know what to say, or do,' Percy thought to himself,
'it's reasonable she is having an emotional crisis.' He then turned to
Nico who had his head hung down as he was visibly trembling, 'poor
kid, he must be overwhelmed.'
"COOL!" Nico yelled out jumping up, "so wait am I a God too?!"
'Guess he was shaking in excitement then,' Percy told himself as he
gave the kid a smiled, "well no, you're a demigod, half God, half man.
And as cool as a god is, we are cooler."
"Ah-hum," Hermes cleared his throat.
"You should get that looked at Hermes, don't want a throat infection or
anything," Percy said with a sly smile.
The god grumbled as Bianca then spoke up, "so wait, does that mean
our father is a God?"
Percy nodded, "yup, but first tell me, how much do you know about the
Greek Gods?"
"Lots!" Nico exclaimed, "there's the Olympians, Zeus, Poseidon,
Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus and his wife Aphrodite, Hera, Demeter,
Apollo and Artemis, Athena, Dionysus! And then there are the minor
Gods like Hecate and Morpheus, oh and spirits like the Satyrs and
other things, wait is that guy Hermes?!" Nico yelled out charging the
God who looked stunned, "so cool! I always wanted to meet a God!
Hey is it true you onces stole Apollo's cows? How did their milk taste?
Do you actually have winged sandals? What's your top speed?"
Hermes just blinked at barrage of questions, "ah, well, yes, their milk
tasted great, like caramel, yes I do have sandals with wings on them
though these days I prefer sneakers and my top speed is just below
the speed of light, I think, haven't really tried."
Percy smiled and turned to Bianca, "Nico seems to be having fun."
The girl sighed, "my brother has always been….extremely obsessed
with Greek Myths."
Percy nodded, "as he should be, after all he is part of them now."
"Okay fine you have said your piece about us being demigods and the
like, but where is the proof?"
Percy snapped his fingers and formed a trident out of the water in the
air and twirled it around, "proof enough for you?"
"Wow!" Nico shouted rushing towards Percy, "that's so cool! Your a son
of Poseidon right? If not you're probably a son of Triton or something!
Wait can I do that? Are we children of Poseidon too?!"
"Ah, no, no you are not," Percy turned to Bianca, "proof enough for you
Bianca?"
The girl didn't respond, she was still too stunned at the sight of the
water trident in Percy's hand.
"Huh, guess that's a reasonable reaction," Percy said as he turned the
water back into steam letting go of the weapon.
"So who is he?" Nico asked excited.
"Who is who?" Percy asked.
"Our dad!"
"Oh, right. Well if I was to guess I would say-"
"Look!" One of the campers pointed as the symbol of Hades, a purple
helmet, appeared over both Nico's and Bianca's head startling the two.
"God damn it Hades I was waiting for a dramatic reveal!" Percy cursed
aloud;

Percy quickly pushed the notification aside and turned to the two
stunned siblings, "look I know it's difficult to understand, and difficult to
process, but believe me, we have all been through this, we can help."
Bianca was shaking but nodded, "I understand, but still….knowing the
man who you hated for so long for abandoning is a God….it's so
difficult to get over."
"It's okay, I had the same feeling you did," Percy said with a smile, "I
hated my dad for leaving my mom, eventually though I got over it."
"What did you do?" Bianca asked with a hopeful look in her eyes.
"I punched him in the face," Percy said grinning, "it was so great."
Bianca smiled, "you punched a God in the face?"
"Yup, he didn't mind, he sort of knew he had it coming."
"I don't think I can do that," Bianca said.
"Yeah probably not," Percy admitted, "my dad is kind of cool that way.
But I promise you me and the rest of the camp will help you and your
brother along the way, I promise"
"I somehow think Nico won't have a problem fitting in," Bianca said as
she turned to Nico who had been running all over the place screaming,
'my dad's the coolest!' At the top of his voice.
Percy smiled, "yeah, that kid is…...special."
Two weeks later;
Surprisingly the next few days had been without any incident at all.
None of the rescued demigods wanted to leave camp and go back to
the Lotus Casino.
It had taken some time but eventually they all accepted that they were
in fact stuck in another time period. The three adults in the group had
trouble adjusting, all the new technology was much too advanced for
them and their way of think was already set. Boy you should have seen
the way the men reacted to the girls wearing jeans outside, they were
pissed!
Eventually though everyone was getting better at adjusting. To
compensate for the extra children Hermes had commissioned the
construction of two new cabins to store all the minor demigods leaving
the first Hermes cabin exclusively for Hermes kids. The cabins had
their own head councillors but pretty much functioned as any cabin
would.
Percy now found himself in his cabin reading one of Argo's books on
radioactivity, which again increased his physics skill and gave him a
sub skill;
Physics- Lv- 4- Basic concepts of physical science.
· Radiation – Lv- 1 – The study of radiation
"You up little brother?" Jonathan asked as the soldier got up and
climbed out of his bed. It was the crack of dawn but Percy hadn't slept
last night, he rarely did these days.
"I'm always up big bro," Percy said getting off his bed and putting the
book into his vastly growing shelf. The only things he did these days
was train and read books resulting in him increasing his sword skills by
two levels and his intelligence and English skill by 3 points and 2 levels
respectively;

"Ready for training?" Percy asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be little bro," John said with a smile.
"You're getting better at modern slang John. We'll have you talking like
a modern man in no time."
"I don't know about that," the sailor admitted, "but I do know things are
looking up for me."
Percy smiled, "alright then, why don't you go ahead and have
breakfast? I'll be right along."
"Don't you want to eat?"
"No, I'm good, go ahead. I'll meet you at the Arena."
John nodded and walked out of the cabin leaving Percy alone. The son
of Poseidon walked out and went to the common shower rooms for a
quick shower. He then zoomed back to his cabin and opened his
inventory to look from something to wear.
Just then Percy looked up and saw himself in the mirror. In two weeks
time a lot had changed for him physically. He figured it was due to his
Goblin's growth perk he had obtained via Chimera's blood. In the past
two weeks Percy had become 5' 4'' and his muscles had become more
pronounced. They weren't huge and bulging, but they were noticeable.
He had also started to get hair all over his body, don't ask, and his
voice was slowly becoming more and more deeper, it could crack any
day now.
He out on a pair of jeans and an orange camp Half-Blood shirt. He
wore his special friction resistant shoes and his leather jacket along
with his other important items. The last thing Percy put on was his
necklace of Poseidon and his camp necklace, the latter of which had a
new bead. It was for the quest he did with Odysseus, the bead was sea
blue with a black ship carved into it. Percy smiled as the bead rested
next to the iron cyclops skull he had.
Chapter 338
After Percy was ready he walked out, put his hand up and called out,
"ID create: Empty."
The world changed and Percy began to walk forward. As he did he put
his other hand up and thought, 'ID Escape!'
The red skyed world shattered bringing Percy back to the real world.
Percy continued this over and over again as he slipped from the real
world to his pocket world and then back to the real world. It have been
a thing he did for the past two weeks and soon everyone had gotten
used to the sight of seeing Percy disappear to only reappear without
explanation.
Over the course of two week Percy had leveled up the skill to such a
high level that it had gained 8 new levels! Eight! Sure it wasn't much
gained for the time used in training it, but that was to be expected,
especially with the results he got;
· ID Create, Lv-22 (95%)
Used to create Instant Dungeons. Higher the level, stronger the
dungeon.
Current list-
Empty Dungeon- no monsters.
Monster Dungeon- Zombies
Monster Dungeon- Goblin Camp
Arena Dungeon – Mountain/ Island/ Swamp/ Forest/ Plains
Empty Dungeon – Time dilation (1/3)
· ID Escape, Lv-22 (95%)
Used to escape from Instant Dungeons.
Percy had gained two new dungeons in these two weeks. The first new
one he got was a combination of five areas that Percy could travel to. It
was like the Goblin Camp scenario where he could transport himself to
different areas completely instead of just creating dungeons with
monsters in it.
The Areas he created were filled with monsters local to the region,
hence Percy manly used this dungeon to try and keep himself on his
toes. The monsters were pretty weak to begin with, most were just
between Lv- 15 to 25. But they were useful for other reasons. Percy
never spent too much time in each, after all he was very busy these
days.
The newest dungeon he got though was something of a mystery and a
boon. It was a ID where time flowed more quickly when compared to
the real world. When Percy first unlocked the ID, it was pretty normal.
Time flowed the same.
But after Percy leveled up the ID create skill once, the time dilation was
increased for every 2 minutes that passed inside the ID 1 passed
outside. Then when Percy leveled it up again it became for every 3
minutes inside one minute passed outside, so on and so forth. This
particular time dilation skill was the reason Percy was so intent of trying
and increase his skill level, if he could get a place where he could train
longer for a shorter period of time it would be a blessing from the Gods.
Eventually though Percy reached the Arena and inside he found
around 80 demigods armoured and talking to each other, while rubbing
the sleep out of their eyes.
"Right, everyone into positions," Percy said as everyone of them
quickly stopped talking and formed into rows each a good 4 feet apart
from the other. Percy then began walking along the rows of the
demigods looking at each of them like a general would an army. Percy
stealthily opened up his status page and attached his 'Leader' title on,
after all the demigods would need every boost they got;
Leader- allows the user to control his troops easily giving a +10 to
all stats for all subordinates.
"Now today we will first warm up and then train in weapons," this got a
groan from them all but Percy ignored them, "Yesterday you all
managed to soundly defeat the first wave of the zombies, let's try two
today."
Percy walked in front of them all and nodded, "begin!"
Quickly every one of them got down on to the floor and began the
routine exercise that Percy had taught them. They first did 10 push
ups, 10 jumping jacks, 15 punches, each arm, and then ended the set
with 10 crunches. They then repeated the set all together.
While waiting for the exercises to be over Percy usually did his own
exercises while keeping an eye on everyone. He focused on increasing
his own strength stat and had taken to wear the weighted armbands
that Nina had made for him all the time. He had increased the weight
from 75 to 100 pounds per limb causing a extra 5 stat points for Str;
STR-55(+20)=75
When Percy first took over training for the demigods it was tough. The
older demigods liked him and knew what he was capable of, after all
they had seen him cut off Hyperion's hand and take on Artemis in the
form of a deer. They knew Percy was the best choice to train them.
The new demigods however were a different issue. They knew they
owed Percy their lives, and most didn't question his leadership, but a
few did.
A son of Ares didn't like the way Percy was teaching, big surprise there,
he thought he knew how to fight better than the son of Poseidon. The
kid's name was Colt and he was the guy who was dressed up like a
punk with the purple mohawk that Percy got out of the casino.
Apparently the kid had a rough childhood growing up and he had to
fight to survive. He had been brought up street tough and
understandably didn't feel like a kid a foot shorter than him could teach
him anything about fighting.
Colt had challenged Percy to a fight, he wanted to lead instead. Percy
accepted….the fight lasted for about 2 seconds and Colt was sent to
the Med Bay with a broken arm. Percy wasn't really in the mode for a
big drawn out fight, so he used his speed and strength to simply twist
Colt's arm and ended it quickly.
Since then no one had dared question Percy's capability.
The group of demigods Percy was teaching included most of the
children from the Casino along with the Ares cabin. He also had
demigods from the Hermes cabin with him along with the children of
Demeter and Dionysus. The minor Gods cabin members also trained
under Percy but only those who could fight. Nico and Bianca had also
joined in, surprising Percy. But it seemed they both had their own
talents. Bianca was good with spear while Nico was a swordsman
through and through, not as good as Percy, but he had the willingness
to try.
The Athena cabin was busy planning out war strategies for the rest of
camp. Percy usually helped out wherever he could and was there for
the many meetings they conducted.
Chapter 338
Hephaestus cabin started the process of created armour for the new
demigods, Percy couldn't really do anything in this regard but
whenever he stumbled onto a weapon or extra crafting material he
gave it right to Nina and the rest of Hephaestus cabin.
Since Percy didn't really do archery he couldn't help the Apollo cabin,
but he didn't stop by to teach Nancy and the others how to use his
blood rune spell in the case of a medical emergency.
Little Percy had joined the minor God's cabin as well, but he rarely ever
stayed there. Ever since the Council of Cloven Elders had found out
about the son of Pan they had tried their best to get their wrinkled old
hands on them. Percy tried his best to keep mini him away from the old
goats but eventually he couldn't protect the kid anymore. The old goats
had gone to Dionysus and complained, little bitches.
The Council had insisted that they needed to take the boy away and
train him in the ways of the Wild, but little Percy had other ideas. He
didn't exactly say it but Percy knew the son of Pan considered him a
surrogate older brother. The boy liked him, and he like the kid, after all
with a name like Percy who couldn't like him?
So they came to a compromise. Little Percy spent half his time training
under Percy and the other half with the Council of Cloven elders. It
made his day very busy, but he was the son of Pan after all, right now
he was the only legitimate successor to Pan's position and that made
him very important.
"All right Level 1 team take a break!" Percy yelled out as around 20
demigods collapsed. Level 1 was Percy's way of calling out the weak.
Using his Gamer powers Percy separated the demigods into levels.
Level one consisted of the nearly human like demigods that were low
on stamina and strength, Percy had them do only three sets of their
normal exercise before telling them to stop.
Level 2 were the average demigods with their stamina and strength
above 20. They did around 10 sets before Percy told them to stop.
Then came the level 3's who were the exceptional demigods. These
had lots of stamina and strength and mostly consisted of the adult
demigods and a few children of Ares. They did around 20 sets of the
exercise before Percy told them to stop.
After the Level 3's were done Percy took them them all out for a run.
First they went across the stable and around the Forest. They then ran
along the beach and stopped at the mouth of the stream cutting
through the Forest.
Percy turned to his 80 demigod squad and waited for them all to arrive,
the level 1's always had trouble keeping up.
"Alright everyone take out your weapons and keep them ready!" Percy
shouted as each demigod took out their own favorite weapon, be it
spear or sword. The archers generally trained with a sword and
practised their bow and arrow skills later with the Apollo cabin.
"Now pair up with a person with the same weapon and stand opposite
to each other!" Percy yelled out as the demigods started to move. Each
had a prefered training partner, Bianca liked fighting a daughter of
Hermes called Mila, Nico and little Percy, who were becoming fast
friends due to their common likes of swords and Percy, faced of each
other.
"Now where the hell is Thalia?" Percy muttered and just then the
daughter of Zeus walked out of the forest with sweat covering her body.
"Sorry I'm late!" Thalia yelled out, "I kind of got caught up with all the
training."
Percy nodded, "it's cool, at least you came."
Thalia hadn't joined up for Percy's training, she did her own thing.
Percy understood, they was he was teaching was not focused on
increasing one particular demigod's skill but everyone's. Thalia on the
other hand needed to become stronger than the average demigod, and
she knew it. Percy could see the pressure of being the child of
Prophecy getting to her, she had been training longer and harder than
anyone else, except probably Percy.
"Spears to me!" The daughter of Zeus yelled out as the group split into
two. Percy was an amature with a spear, he barely had a skill over it,
so he enlisted Thalia's help for the basic weapons training.
After everyone was ready Percy yelled out, "begin basic attacks!"
Soon everyone was in a flurry of movement striking out against their
opponent. Percy kept watch over everyone, usually by using his super
speed to zoom all over the place. When he noticed someone executing
an attack wrongly he stopped them and taught the right way.
This was his days now, he was a leader and a teacher. And the
teaching thing gave him a few levels up on his teaching skill;
· Teaching, Lv-30 (40%)
You impart on your student a piece of what you know.
(Wis+Int)% how much the student understands
+80% if their Int is lower than yours.
Needless to say Percy was a great teacher thanks to this skill. His
Wisdom was 53 and his intelligence was 83 allowing hs students to
learn 134% of what he was trying to teach, this mean that not only did
they understand what he was trying to teach them, they also apply it. It
made them increase in skill very fast often times developing their own
type of fighting style.
Beep Beep! Beep Beep!
Percy then looked down at his his new celestial bronze watch which he
had Nina make for him using a celestial bronze ingot he got as loot. It
was digital and made out of the celestial metal making it to be nearly
indestructible.
There was also a notification system that Percy had asked for. This
way whenever he had a random idea he wanted to try out, or
something brilliant came to him while in the shower or anything he
could record it instantly.
Right now the watch had just alerted him about his hourly dumping of
mana into his Marble Skin skill.
This was something he just recently figured out during one of his
showers. It was the fact that his Marble Skin defence had no time limit.
It also didn't have any limit to said mana dumping. This allowed for a
HUGE loophole for Percy to exploit.
Chapter 339
So what he did for every hour on the dot, as long he was awake, Percy
dumped all of his mana into this skill increasing his defences
constantly. It had been around 12 days since he started this.
Percy quickly walked into the sea nearby activating the domain boost;
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
+1000 HP(+1000 HP due to necklace of Poseidon) = +2000 HP
+1000 MP (+1000 MP due to necklace of Poseidon) = +2000 MP
Every Time he was about to boost his marble skin powers he entered
into a body of water. Whether that meant going into the sea, a river or
even just pouring water on himself to activate the domain boost
depended on where Percy was.
Percy now had;
Mana-5,750/5,750 (+1000) = 6,750 (+20% more mana, +1350) =
8,100 (+2000 MP)= 10,100 MP
And he put all of his mana into the skill.
Defence- 10,100 x 115 Vit = 1,161,500 Defence
Percy had done this for around an average of 21 hours a day, since he
rarely slept at all these days. This meant that including this recent
boost to his powers Percy's total defence came up to;
252 hours X 1,161,500 = 292,698,000 Defence
Yup, that was a lot. But considering that Percy has to now fight Titans,
who could give the Gods a run for their money Percy still felt like he
was unprepared. Sometimes when Percy was free for an hour for so,
he would just enter and exit the sea causing himself to respawn the
water domain boost adding on to his total defence. But these days he
rarely had the time.
Percy eventually returned to his group of trainees and soon they were
done with their practise.
"Alright everyone line up! It's time for my training!" Percy yelled out as
he took out Riptide readying himself for a fight.
Most of the demigods groaned while a few, like Thalia and John,
became serious and ready for a fight. This was the reason most hated
weapons training, at the end of it Percy took on all of them at once.
Percy spun his blade around a couple of times, "ready?" The demigods
who complained before got into position next to the others. "Okay then,
fight!"
Percy charged forward and attacked a group spear wielding demigods.
They had lowered their weapons to pierce him with but Percy was
faster as he jumped up and landed behind them hitting them all with
the flat of his blade.
"Out," Percy said. The demigods all groaned and quickly all left before
Percy moved towards the next group of demigods.
Percy quickly dispatched of all the swordsmen with a flick of the wrist
mostly just disarming them or knocking them off balance.
"YAAAA!" Nico yelled out as the boy charged Percy only for the
demigod to trip Nico at the last second.
"Sorry Nico, better luck next time," Percy then turned and blocked a
swing for John. Percy blocked and pushed the weapon back as the two
brothers attacked one another.
John had been trained in hand to hand combat by the army and had a
bases for attacks. Hence he was one of the best swordsmen they had,
but he was still no match for Percy.
Percy knocked him to the side, the demigod was starting to sweat now,
he wasn't tired, not in the least, but he felt the training work. Percy then
quickly took care of the rest of the demigods leaving Thalia for last.
"Ready sea brain?" Thalia asked as she spun her spear around.
"Think you can actually hit me this time sparky?" Percy teased as
Thalia growled at him.
The two cousins narrowed their eyes as they slowly circled around the
other. This was one of the reason Thalia agreed to help train the
others. She wanted to fight Percy. Maybe it was the Zeus in her, but
Thalia didn't like Percy being in charge, she usually kept her distance
from him whenever he was training or even talking to other demigods.
So far the only interactions the two have shared was the occasional
chit chat along with these daily fights.
Taliha made the first move, like always. Percy counted on her
impatience as he quickly went on the defence blocking everyone one
of the girl's attacks. He spun away from spear thrusts and deflected all
those he couldn't dodge. He waited for his moment before he sprung
into action.
Percy blocked and then deflected Thalia's spear so hard it flew out of
her hand. He then charged forward and swung the flat of his blade at
Thalia. The daughter of Zeus however didn't back down as she
collapsed her knees and fell back on the ground forcing Percy to
change the direction of his attack in the last moment.
Thalia then gabed the bracelet on her left hand and shouted, "Aegis!"
This caused a shield to form out out it blocking Percy's blade at the last
second. Percy was stunned looking at the shield and Thalia took this
opportunity and pushed Percy to the ground and got on top him
pushing the shield down on him.
"Still scared of this thing Jackson?" Thalia asked with a smirk.
"No Grace, I just got to close to you and the smell just hit me really
hard," Percy shot back. The way Thalia sat on top of him was really
making him hot under the collar. Her hips were rested right on his own,
the part that disturbed him the most were her long muscular things.
They gripped his hips tightly to make sure he couldn't move to the side
as she pressed up against him.
'I need to get her off me before things get weird!' Percy told himself as
he finally managed to push Thalia off of him and he jumped back.
Thalia quickly grabbed her spear and the two began circling each
other.
Percy really hated that shield, it wasn't his first time seeing it, Thalia
had used it before on him. The shield was special, it was a replica of
Aegis, the shield that was imprinted with the face of Medusa onto. The
face of medusa was scary to say the least, Percy didn't mind it though,
after the first time he kind of got used to looking at the shield. But there
was still some sort of charm around it that made him want to back
away every time he got close to it.
Thalia charged again as she swung at Percy. The demigod ducked
under the attack and kicked Thalia in the gut sending her backwards.
Percy then began attacking the demigoddess relentlessly as he kept
hitting Aegis with Riptide. He then swung his blade widely knocking the
protection of the shield to the side before swinging at Thalia's neck.
