The blond haired man turned and smiled at Percy, "oh hey Percy! Where are you going?"
"Climbing Wall Luke, where are you guys going?"
"Same, oh this is the Hermes cabin Percy, guys Percy Jackson son of Poseidon."
Percy scanned the people there some of them had the title of son of Hermes above their head the others didn't. "Wait you all are the children of Hermes?"
Luke smiled and shook his head, "no only some of them. Most are unclaimed and don't know who their godly parent is."
Percy nodded and quickly he joined the group as they made way to the Climbing Wall. On the way there Percy made friends with most of the Hermes cabin. He quickly became acquainted with the Stoll brothers, Travis and Connor both sons of Hermes.
It seemed that the ones that didn't know who their parents were had it the worst but they had the friends in the cabin they could turn to. But this began to eat away at Percy, they didn't know who their godly parents were, but his infobox did. So he knew exactly whose kid they were. So....should he tell them?
Ping!
Oh for the love of the Gods!
Quest Alert!
Tell the unclaimed campers who their parents are!
If you do,
The campers will be loyal to you
Gods will wonder where you learnt all of this
If you don't,
Guilt

YES/NO?
Percy looked at the quest and sighed. This time there was no failure option, there was just a choice to be made. Percy pressed yes and closed the box. Decisions decisions. When the group reached the Climbing Wall the Stoll brothers challenged Percy to a race to the top;
Ping!
Quest Alert!
Race to the top!
Reward,
200 Exp!
Failure,
The Stoll brothers will make fun of you for a week
YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and quickly equipped his climbing gloves for yesterday. The three got into positions and then moved at the same time. Percy managed to get the head start with his gloves and quickly moved up faster and faster until they reached the halfway point.
After a rest they moved again but this time the Stoll brothers had a trick up their sleeves. Tacking a rope with a claw on one end the threw it at Percy's leg catching it. "Hey what the-" Percy called out but then was pulled down by the combined strength of both brothers.
While the gloves will prevent a user to not fall due to a weak grip, Percy was pulled down hence why Percy fell. But as Percy fell down he caught on a hand hold a few feet before hitting the ground. Percy looked up at the Stoll brothers and he growled. He then charged upwards with his full speed.
But by the time he reached the halfway point and started on the second half the two sons of Hermes almost at the top. So Percy used his trump card, water control. He reached into his inventory and pulled out a water bottle and opened the cap with his teeth. He then sent the water upwards in two tentacle like streams which caught Travis and Conner around the waist and flung them off the wall.
Percy watched as the wind spirits caught the two sons of Hermes and Percy quickly climbed the wall without a worry.
After Percy got back down he was surrounded by the rest of Hermes cabin who congratulated him on his quick thinking. Just then;
Ping!
Quest Completed!
Race to the top!
Reward,
200 Exp!
Ping!
Due to strenuous activity you have gained + 1 Vit!
Luke approached him and gave him his trademark smile, "good job Percy I have never seen a son of Poseidon's powers used so that was an amazing sight."
Percy smiled, "thanks, I was just lucky is all."
"I'll say I didn't even see you pull out your water bottle," Travis said with a grin.
"Yeah it like came out of thin air!" Conner shouted out in surprise, "you have got to tell me how you did that!"
Percy grinned, "magic," the rest of Hermes cabin grounded at the lame joke but Percy noticed Luke looking at him with a calculating look. The moment Luke noticed Percy was looking at him the frown turned to a smile.
After spending a little more time with the rest of Hermes cabin Percy left and quickly reached the forge for his shield. He entered the bricked building and saw the sparks fly all around him, Hephaestus cabin it seemed did not take a day off or anything.
"Percy," Percy turned and saw Nina in one corner of the building waving at him, "come here!"
Percy nodded and quickly walked up to Nina. Her work bench was filled with diagrams of projects she was working on and various pieces of metal just littered around the table. "So are they ready?"
Nina nodded, "yup just finished them as a matter of fact." She then propped up his shield and Percy inspected it and saw it was perfect, he used his Observe,
Bronze Shield,
This shield is made out of bronze material and is sharp around the edges. Warriors use it to bash their opponents heads in and use the edge to cut deep.
Weight-35 KG, Durability-12/12
Percy was impressed, he lifted it up and felt it was lighter. Before it weighed 40 Kg and its durability was 10/10. Percy looked at Nina, "it's lighter. And more durable."
The daughter of Hephaestus nodded, "yup. I managed to reduce the weight and make it light by melting it and reforging it completely. It's basic smithing 101."
Percy looked at that in surprise, "wow. I'm impressed. And did you get the weighted bands done?"
Nina nodded and quickly searched around the table. She then pulled up four black wristbands with the omega symbol on it. "These are charmed to weigh exactly the same. All you have to do to change their weight is press the omega on one of them and verbally tell the weight you want them to be and poof, instant weight."
Percy looked at the band in wonder as he used Observes;
Weighted Wristbands x 4,
They can change their weight to any amount the user desires when the omega symbol is pressed.
At present weight is 1 g.
This was amazing, far better that what he wanted, Nina went above and beyond it semmed. Note to self always ask Nina for information on armour and weapons.
Percy quickly took out the 25 D needed for the assignment and added a tip of extra 5 D. He added the coins to Nina who counted the coins.
"Wait Percy you gave me an extra 5 drachma," Nina said turning to Percy who was already putting on a wristband on each arm.
"Ah yeah. These weighted wrist bands are far more than what I expected so consider it a tip," he then put the other two on his feet, "wait shouldn't the ones that go on my feet be called ankle brands?"
Nina shrugged, "it's just a name. Anyway thanks Percy if you need anything else don't hesitate to ask."
Percy nodded, "thanks Nina you're brilliant." Percy then turned and quickly left the forge with his shield in tow leaving behind a blushing Nina.
Outside Percy made sure he was alone and then threw his shield in his inventory. He was attached to that shield, it was his first after all.
Percy then looked at his new wrist bands and pressed the omega symbol of his right band, "20 pounds?" Suddenly the bands started to pull down to the earth and Percy felt his arms were being pulled down. Percy slowly however straightened up and began to slowly walk. He was going to do, no, he needed to do this.
Percy then began walking around camp and he started to use his ID create skill and ID escape skill as he went along camp. That way he would be improving his Str stats and improve his ID skill level. Tt would seem strange if Percy just kept disappearing and reappearing in different place, due to the ID skill, but Percy would make sure he only used his skill when people weren't looking.
During the evening Percy finally got a hand of the 20 pounds on his limbs and could now walk normally. He also got this;
Ping!
Due to constant use two skills have leveled up four times!
ID Create, Lv-9 (40%)
Used to create Instant Dungeons. Higher the level, stronger the dungeon.
Current list—
Empty Dungeon— no monsters.
Monster Dungeon— Zombies
ID Escape, Lv-9 (40%)
Used to escape from Instant Dungeons.
And he finally go some extra stats in his Str;
STR— 12
His strength raise up by 5 points in one day! Sure it took the whole day but it was worth it! Percy then walked up to the Athena cabin and entered. Inside was chaos, like usual but Percy managed to find Malcolm in the chaos, "hey Malcolm why is everyone in a state of panic?"
Malcolm looked at Percy and looked shocked, "Percy? Where the hell have you been all day?"
Percy motioned to his wristbands, "I got these new weighted bands I wanted to try out. Why what going on?"
"Everyone was worried about you!" Malcolm cried out, "you weren't there during lunch, we thought something had happened to you."
"Why would anything happen to me."
"Well because... you know."
"What?"
"Well because you are a son of Poseidon. Zeus and Hades are going to be pissed and they would probably try to attack you, the camp though something had happened, and adding to the fact people kept saying the saw you dissappeard and reappear all over the place!"
Percy cursed, 'shit, looks like I have to be little more careful when training my ID skills.' "I'm fine Malcolm, I'm ready for my study session today though."
The son of Athena sighed and quickly brought out several books, "here read these for today. I swear Percy you go through books faster than some of the people here."
Percy smiled, "what's the famous saying, know your enemy?" Percy then turned to the book he got, 'Secrets of the Underworld.' He wasn't an idiot. He was going to the underworld and he knew how dangerous such a place can be, hence why every time he was here he always read up on something related to Hades and the Underworld in order to know more about who he was going to face off.
After that Percy got two boxes;
Due to constant reading you got +1 Int!
A skill has leveled up!
Language: Modern English, Lv-20 (20%)
Due to you being a demigod you have Dyslexia, but with hard work you have overcome your disabilities and you're reading is now near grade level-College+
+35% reading speed
Percy closed the boxes and quickly left the cabin with the rest of the children of Athena to the Mess Hall. There they once again split apart, Percy went to sit alone while the rest of the cabin tables were all full. After finishing his food Percy quickly grabbed a bottle of water and a torch light. He slipped out of the Mess Hall and went to the Forest.
Percy went deep into the place. He then quickly reached a small clearing in the trees and he stopped there.
Percy then took out the water from the bottle and spread it thinly in front of him causing a mist to form. Percy then shined a torch threw the artificially created mist and a rainbow was formed. Percy took out a drachma and tossed it into the rainbow and spoke, "Oh Iris Goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering," the words Percy learned from Annabeth the other day, "show me the Fates."
Suddenly the rainbow started to discolor and move about in a funny way. This wasn't what Annabeth said would happen, did I do something wrong? Then the message stabilized and an image appeared.
It was of the three Fates themselves and the spoke as one, "Percy Jackson, we were expecting you to call us."
Percy grinned, "then there are somethings you three don't know."
"We never said there wasn't," the three spoke up.
"I didn't really think it would work, Iris messaging you I mean, but I really needed your help."
"You are right normally it would be impossible to call us like this, but we made an exception for you. Now what is it you need?"
Percy then gathered his thoughts and spoke, "I was just wondering, ah.....is it alright to tell people about my powers? The gaming ones I mean not the Poseidon, that everyone already knows. Although now that I think about it I really shouldn't have-"
"Enough," the Fates said stopping him, "you blaber when you are nervous."
Percy scratched his head, "yeah. But anyway, can I?"
"That is up to you. You may do whatever you wish with your powers. Tell anyone even show them, but you must never reveal that it was us that gave them to you."
Percy nodded, "so can I use my powers to find out who the unclaimed campers were and then tell them that?"
The three Fates looked at each other and then one of them handed a bag of drachma to the one on the left.
"Ah what was that?" Percy asked.
The one that got the money spoke up, "I bet that you would use your power to help the unclaimed, Atropos bet that you will use them to train other campers."
"Wait I can do that?" Percy asked bewildered.
"That's for you to find out," the three said together again, "good bye Percy Jackson."
And with that the Iris message disappears leaving Percy alone in the Forest with a flashlight and a water bottle. Percy threw them into his inventory and walked back to camp.
He quickly made way to the camp fire in the center of all the camps and sat down next to Luke and the Hermes camp. Percy then began to talk to them all the while looking at each unclaimed stats.
Percy then met a guy named Mark Copper and according to his bio her was the son of Triton. Percy read that and then realised who he was immediately. His Gamer's mind helped him freak out when he figured out who Mark was. Mark was the son of Triton, who is the son of Poseidon, and yes that does mean Percy is technically his uncle.
This is incredibly weird for Percy because Mark was a teen that stood at 5 foot 6 and has a runner's build. He had blue eyes and very frizzy hair. The moment Luke introduced Percy to him Percy spoke up, "wait are you as son of Poseidon?"
Mark looked at Percy and then blinked, "ah..no. I'm sure I would know if I was the son of Poseidon."
"You sure? Cause you feel all sea like and well.... you sure?"
"Percy what do you mean he feels sea like?" Luke asked intrigued by this.
"Well you know...sea like?" Percy said holding his arms out, "don't you feel the different demigods here?"
"Wait you can feel the demigods?" one of the unclaimed asked, "like you can feel their aura?"
Percy nodded and then;
Ping!

There we go, Percy wiped the screen away and looked to see most of the campers looking at him. "Can't you guys like tell the difference between a child of Ares and a child of Athena by looking at them?"
