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

Percy closed the box and then turned to another book he got. This one was in the form of a white skull box. Percy picked it up and like expected;
Ping!
You have obtained the Skill book: Marble Skin, would you like to learn it?
YES/NO?
Percy immediately pressed yes and the book dissolved and percy got a nex box;
Ping!
You have learnt the Skill, Marble Skin!
Marble Skin, Lv-MAX
A skill that uses Mana that hardens your skin into marble. The more mana you use the denser it becomes.
Defence— (Amount of mana used) x Vit = Durability
Cost— depends on the user.
Percy looked at this skill in wonder, it seems this one can't be leveled up and relied full on how much mana he had, meaning he needed more, much more if he wanted to use it properly.
Percy then closed and leaned back onto his table, he had a lot of things to do. He needed to improve his stats, which he could do over the summer. Get some more money so that his mom can leave Gabe. And most of all he needed to find the lightning thief, so that his mom won't die. Damn the stupid quest why did he even except?
Percy shook his head and then sighed, somedays it was tough being this awesome, but today was...nice. It was a nice break from his dungeons and Greek fighting. It was a day he spent making a friend and grinding, it was different and a day Percy would remember.
Just as Percy got off the table and walked away he saw a rubix cube on the desk, 'is that Grover's?' Percy wondered as he picked it up. He then started to mess with it, trying to make the colours match. Just as he nearly got one side done he heard it;
Ping!
Due to constant use of your brain to figure out puzzles you have gained 1 Wis!
Percy looked at this and then back at the cube and then back at the screen. He then smiled like a cat and dismissed the screen. He then spent the rest of the night trying to solve the cube, his attention so focused he didn't even notice all the blue notification boxes popping up all around him.
Elsewhere,
The Fates looked at the scene of Percy solving the Rubik cube and smiled.
"It is good we gave the cube as a gift," one of the Fates said with a smile.
"Even if it looks like cheating," another said grumbling.
"In war, all is fair," the third replied in a neutral voice.
"We are not in war," the grumpy one said crossing her arms.
"Yet," the first one replied still smiling.
"Then it is time to meet him," said the neutral one, "after all Perseus Jackson has a role to play in all of this."
The next day,
Percy woke up, his head still a little cloudy but it immediately picked up due to Gamer's mind.
Ping!
You have slept in you own bed; HP and MP have been restored 100% each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Percy closed the box and then noticed several others all around him all saying the say thing,
Due to constant use of your brain to figure out puzzles you have gained 1 Wis!
In total Percy had gotten an extra 5 Wis points last night. 5! He pulled up his stats and there it was;
WIS-13
Percy smiled at this and his smile further grew when he saw the now finished rubik's cube sitting on his desk. Percy then quickly got up and went to get ready for the day, after all he still one final exam to do today.
The day of departure,
Percy sat on his suitcase near the main office and was waiting for Grover, the boy begged Percy to not leave without him, but he and Chiron still haven't returned from wherever they were so Percy decided to just wait until the last possible second and then leave.
After his last exam Percy spent the day grinding again in the ocean. As a result his swimming leveled up as well as his Water Control. He even tried out his sword move, Stardust Wave and let's just say it's AWESOME! And after all that hard work you better believe his Vit went up by a point as well.
Just then Percy noticed Nancy come down and wave at him. Percy smiled and waved back to the girl and saw that she was with an older man, most likely her dad if the similar hair colour was anything to go by.
Percy frowned at that, this guy was an irresponsible dad for making Nancy feel the way she does. To make her think she could only gain his attention by being a thief. The old Percy would have brushed it off as not his problem, but the new Percy?
The new Percy that was Nancy's fried? He was pissed and he was going to do something about this.
Percy put on a smile and got up from his seat. He walked over to Nancy and her dad who were just a few feet away. "Hey Nancy," Percy said smiling at her.
"Hey Percy," Nancy smiled back, a real smile, it seems she was happy her dad himself was here to pick her up while the man was indifferent to them both choosing instead to talk in his cellphone to a board member.
Percy frowned at that but immediately turned to Nancy, "hey Nancy I think Mr. Brunner was searching for you."
Nancy blinked, "he is?"
"Yup," Percy said, thank god for his lying skills. "I think he is in his office."
Nancy nodded, "thanks I'll go see what's up," she then turned to her dad, "daddy a teacher is calling me I'll just-" her father held his finger up to his lips and then quickly shooed her away. Nancy sighed at this but quickly left leaving Percy alone with the businessman.
The moment Nancy was out of sight Percy turned to the man, who was still on his cell. Percy's smile fell and he snatched the man's cellphone. Nancy's father looked at him in surprise, "hey!"
Percy held on finger up and put his ear to the phone, "I'm sorry but the person you are talking to is busy, call later." Percy then cut the call in crushed the phone under his shoe.
"What the hell are you doing!" Nancy's dad shouted looking sick, "that was a very important call! And that phone is 600$! What type of-" Percy cut him off and grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him down to eye level.
"Listen and listen well," Percy said with an icy voice, "your daughter is a sweet girl. She doesn't deserve a no good father like you. She thinks the only way to even talk to you is to cause trouble. She cries for your approval and yet you ignore her. She cares about you," Percy said, "but you don't deserve it. So listen well. From no one you will pay attention to your daughter, you will show her how much you love her because she still give a damn about what you think now, if the day she doesn't give a crap about you is the day you lose her forever. Sp you will pay attention to her and give her the love she deserves...."
Percy's eyes then slowly shifted into a darker tone they looked like the sea before a storm, "because if you don't I will rip your head off."
Ping! Ping! Ping!
Due to use of the skill Bloodlust and making Mr. Bobofit nearly piss himself the skill has leveled up thrice!
You scare the shit out of your enemies
25% chance of working
20% scary
Percy then let go of the man and walked away. He grabbed his bag and left in order to catch his bus leaving a scared father behind. After that day Nancy Bobofit noticed her dad act strangely around her. He cared more for her, paid more attention to her and got his mother to do the same. And he also started to have this look of fear every time she mentioned Percy in front of him for some reason.
Percy walked up to the bus terminal and waited for his ride. It was a long wait but Percy didn't mind, he was to excited to finally go back home! While there PErcy used Observe on everything in order to level it up. But just then Percy's Observe picked up something.
On one of the park benches in a secluded corner of the terminal were three women weaving a pair of big blue socks. Thier Observe boxes were such.
The Three Fates,
#$ $# %^%#$%^%&*&^*%^^^#% $%# !
Percy look bewildered at that. If they were a high level or something then the only thing that his Observe would show was a question mark. But this made it seem like Observe didn't even work on them. Percy looked up at the woman and they looked at him.
Percy then knew what to do. He picked up his bag and approached the three women. He stood in front of them and grinned, "so what can I do for you ladies?"
So yeah I decided to take a slow pace for this chapter just because...well this isn't a story which is a game, this is a story about game in real life. So like a combination of both. And this is probably what Percy do anyway so I thought, heck why not?
Also to answer a few questions;
Alecto's soul— You see Percy's power's were given by the Fates and that basically trumps every other divines powers, unless their really powerful. So Percy's gameming powers are powerfull and the rules of the games are absolute. Hence why Alecto's soul, though powerful in it's own right, is trapped.
Hade's control over Alecto— this is reason is similar with the one above added to the fact that Hades is just Alecot's employer not master. So while his control over her is there, it's more like a boss to employer kind of deal.
The difference between son of Poesidon and the dungeon +1000 HP/MP bonus— The difference is mail this. For the SoP bonus Percy needs to be covered in water giving him the +20 stats and all that. For the +1000 dungeon bonus, it's maily an evnermtnal perk, meaning Percy has to be in a place with a lot of water in it. So let's say while in a swiming pool Percy has the +1000 bonus and the SoP, but if he steps out he will only hav the SoP bonus due to him being wet but not in a body of water. This is confusing I know.
Anyway I hopeI have answered all your questions properly. Please keep the Reviews and your praise coming, in fact my new diet for the year is to eat REVIEWS and REVIEWS only. And please do feel free to ask any further questions you have.
Chapter 7
Chapter 7:
"A bold one isn't he," one of the Fates stated as she spun a thread.
"Well we expected nothing else did we?" another said measuring it.
"After all that is exactly why we chose him," the last replied cutting the string.
Percy looked at this process with calculating eyes. He then pointed to the first one, "Clotho" the second, "Lachesis," and the last, "Atropos."
The three nodded as Lachesis spoke up, "very good Perseus Jackson very good indeed."
"Oh please call me Percy," Percy said rubbing his head.
"Well then Percy I must ask," Clotho asked, "do you like the abilities we gave you?"
"Y-you?" Percy asked with a jaw wide open, "you gave me these powers?! Why?!"
"A long story, which you don't need to know," Atropos replied in a neutral voice, "yet."
Percy looked at all three but their faces didn't give anything away. Percy sighed, "so what can I do for you?"
"What makes you think we want you to do anything for us?" Atropos asked with a cough, "and what makes you think you can even help us?"
Percy shrugged, "why else would you be here?"
Clotho laughed, "very good Percy," she then snapped her finger and Percy saw a box appear in front of him. Percy quickly grabbed it before it fell down and the title read, 'Greek Legends' with a bookmark sticking out.
Percy opened the book and on the bookmarked page was the battle between the Gods and the Titans."We are you showing me this?" Percy asked as he skimmed over the pages.
"The Titan Kronos rises again," Lachesis said, "and the Titan war will begin anew."
"Again why tell me? Shouldn't the Gods be the ones you tell?"
Clotho shook her head, "they don't care. Because this was isn't for the soul of Olympus, it's for the soul of all the demigods. Kronos wishes to use the demigods that feel betrayed by their parents to win back his throne."
Percy's eyes widened, "wow. I didn't realise that there were other demigods out there. I thought I was the only one."
