"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.
Ј 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.
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;
Ј 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)
Ј 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.
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.
