Seal Release: Layer 2, Time: 20 seconds
STR-400(+20)=420
It seemed that each seal had a level. The first seal gave a bonus of 2 when released. The second layer gave a bonus of 4 when fully released. When Percy slipped a third seal his strength had reduced even more;
STR-12.5 (+20)= 32.5
And when Percy released the third seal his strength doubled turning into 25. When the second seal was released it increased four times that to 100 and when the last seal was removed it increased by 6 times;
Seal Release: Layer 3, Time: 20 seconds
STR-600(+20)=620
In the end Percy decided to add a total of six seals on him at all times. This reduced his strength to 1.5;
STR— 1.5(+20)=21.5
While this did leave him weak, Percy was not completely defenceless. The bonus he received form the necklace of Poseidon still kept him on the level of the average demigod. Plus this type of restriction would be extremely useful for him during peace times, which was right now.
The only problem he now had was the three tattoos he had on both arms. While they were small and kind of awesome, they were easy to spot. Percy may be brave and all, but he did not want his mother to see them, the woman would scream at him for hours on end.
Luckily his black jacket covered his arms nicely, though it was starting to get a little to small for him, thanks to his recent growth spurt.
He then turned to Body From and found that he now had 10 new buying options. Percy spent 6 points to increase the strength of Body Form to 10 times more. And 4 points on reducing the cool down time to ⅛ of the time used.
Ј Body Form— Allows user to focus all their strength in one part of their body. The focused area will gain X10 power for a desired time period. Cool down will last 1/8 as long and total strength will be reduced by half till then.
Percy then put 50 points into a stat he rarely paid attention to, LUC;
LUC-50
Ping!
You have achieved 100 points in LUC! You have gained a new perk!
Wish— Make one wish a week. 40% chance of success, less the more ridiculous the wish is.
Percy was beyond surprised at the perk he had gotten. In all honestly Percy didn't really know what to do with the perk. He didn't really have any wish to make per say. Percy shrugged, it was a thought for another day.
Percy then turned to Int and poured 17 points into it raising it to 100
INT-100
Ping!
You have achieved 100 points in INT! You have gained a new perk!
Mana Drain— Allows for user to absorb mana from the surroundings. Constant stream of 100 MP per second. (Present natural mana recovery rate is 67 MP per second. Total mana recovery = 167 MP per second.)
Percy then closed his status and finally took a deep breath. That was enough upgrades for now. He still had 119 points but his arsenal had already grown by a lot, and it was time to go back to the basics to train himself to use these new powers.
So far he has been only using what he was used to, a combination of Speed demon, Body Form and Earthquake vibrations. But now with more skills to work with he needs to reform his battle style.
Percy broke out of his ID and found himself back in the real world. It was still night time here, his watch said it was 3 in the morning. Percy didn't really go back to bed after the trials....he didn't want to.
The week he spent outside of camp in that illusionary world alone made him miss camp. It sounded silly, but Percy wanted to make sure this was really and he wasn't just dreaming this. That world he was in.....it felt so real. He was afraid that is he went to bed, he might wake up back at the Castle's place with his mother dead and him mortal.
Sigh, he was glad to be back in the real world. His mom was alive, but the thought that she would have been in danger because of him....that still scared him. Percy sighed, 'guess that was why I left Leo with her. But that stupid dog wasn't strong enough....wait.....I feel like I'm forgetting someone....'
Percy's eyes snapped open in realization as he opened his inventory and quickly found Leo there. Percy reached in and pulled the dog out all the while thinking, 'I really have poor memory when it comes to people.'
The dog looked at Percy and barked, "asshole! Where the hell am I?! And where are my beautiful caregivers?!"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "caregivers? You mean my mom and Kate? They are back in New York."
"Then where am I?!" Leo barked as he tried to shake loose, but Percy's grip was too strong.
"You are at camp Half-Blood, with me."
"What the hell is camp half-blood?!"
Percy sighed, "this is going to be a long story." Percy sat down and put Leo in front of him.
"Physc!"The dog immediately tried to run away.
Percy sighed, 'how did I know he was going to do that?' Percy then spread open his arms and activated his telekinesis easily lifting the light puppy off of the ground and into the air.
"What?! How are you doing this?! Put me down filthy male!" Leo tried to paddle away with his small paws but it only served to amuse Percy.
"Listen Leo, I'm sorry," the dog stopped struggling and looked at Percy as the demigod continued, "I know I shouldn't have done what I did. But I couldn't exactly take you with me."
The puppy forced, "you were my master stupid human. We were supposed to be together. That's why they saved me after all."
Percy put the dog down as Leo walked towards Percy and sat down, "who are they?"
"The Fates," the dog said, "my mother and father died saving my life. I......I lived, but barely. The Fates came and made a deal with me, they said that I could live on, but I would be bound to you. They promised me you would take care of me, they said I would have a home again. At first when I saw you I didn't like you because I didn't want a master. But when you left me...."
Percy said, he reached out and gently scratched the back of Leo's ear, "I'm sorry boy, I really am. I can't change what happened in the past, but I can change the future. So if you still want, I'll be your master again."
The dog nodded, "yes...that sounds nice."
Percy smiled, "great, it's a deal."
Ping!

Percy pressed yes and suddenly Leo's status page popped up;

Perks—
Percy blinked at the new additions to Leo's list, the Exp bar and skill list were new additions. But before Percy could look into it further Leo spoke up, "wait....you understand me!?"
Percy blinked in confusion, "ah.... Yeah."
"Since when?!"
"Since yesterday."
"Really?!"
"Wait...you mean to tell me you basically had a full blown conversation with me, and you didn't notice I was responding back?"
"Well you humans do it all the time! You keep talking to us asking things like, 'who's a good boy?' or 'do you want to play fetch?' I got absorb in the moment!"
Percy laughed, "I'm surprised you didn't notice!"
Leo huffed, "well I was busy rubbing my face into your mother's milk makers."
Percy narrowed his eyes, he activated his telekinesis powers and lifted Leo up.
"BARK!" "Let me go!"
Percy twisted him upside down and dropped him on his head. The puppy whined as he slowly stood upright shaking his head, "talk about my mom like that and I'll drop you even higher next time."
Leo grumbled but lowered his ears in submission, "yes boss."
Percy smiled, "well, I suppose we might as well begin first with introduction. Hey Leo, my name is Percy, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon," Percy extended his hand.
Leo sniffed the hand offered and licked it giving out a happy bark in response, "you can call me Leo!"
Percy smiled as he scratched Leo's head. "Okay Leo, tell me, what do you want to do?"
Leo looked surprised, "well....I have never really seen the forest in a long time." Leo got up and turned to the First in the distance, "can we go there?"
Percy nodded, "sure, why not?"
The pair of master and pet then left the Amphitheater and began walking across camp. Leo looked around everywhere with excitement in his eyes. He smelt the bushes, sniffed the trails.
Percy laughed as Leo charged forward into the forest. Percy followed suit and watched the dog roll around in the mud and grass simply enjoying the scent of the place.
"I'm guessing you like Forests?" Percy asked as he scratched the dog's ears.
"I was born in a Forest. Your mother's home was nice, but the wild is my home."
Percy smiled, "I know a goddess that you would love," he remembered Artemis, 'I wonder how she's doing.' Percy looked up and smiled at the full moon, 'beautiful.'
Leo went further into the Forest until he came across the stream that ran through the forest and began playing in the water.
Percy laughed as Leo splashed him with water. Percy reached down and sent a wave of water at the dog who fell on his bottom from the wave.
The two spent time walking around the Forest, Leo looked like he was having fun, and Percy was happy for him.
Soon the two sat down under a tree by the stream. Leo put his head on Percy's lap as the demigod scratched the dog's ear. The poor thing was tired already.
"Leo," Percy began, "what exactly do you want to do?"
Leo looked up, "what do you mean?"
"I mean....well what do you want to do with your life?"
The dog looked confused before speaking, "I would like to live it. What else can one do with life?"
Percy smiled, "never mind then." Percy began scratching Leo's ears again allowing the dog to relax. 'Guess I shouldn't expect a dog to understand life, heck I barely understand it.'
Percy then remembered something that Leo said to him before, "hey Leo, remember what you said back in Kate's place?"
The dog barked, "you mean how I said you abandoned me? Don't worry I forgive you boss."
Percy rolled his eyes, "thanks Leo. But no, I mean the other thing. You mentioned something me training you?"
Leo nodded, "yeah, part of my deal with the Fates was that the only way I could ever grow up was if you trained me. They mentioned something about leveling up, or some other human term."
Percy blinked, 'wait... can Leo level up? He isn't just an ordinary pet, technically he is my companion and he does have his own Exp bar....so maybe he can. And if the Fates told him that was the only way it could happen then it must be true.'
Percy stopped scratching Leo and spoke, "hey Leo, do you want to get stronger?"
Leo perked up the moment he heard that, "yes!"
Percy smiled, "you sure? It will be difficult."
Leo nodded again, "I am sure."
Percy smiled, "right then, get up. It's time to train." 'Maybe now I can also train my new powers along the way.'
Percy bent over and touched Leo's back with one hand and immediately pulled them both into an ID. The sky turned red and Leo started to look around in panic.
"Where are we? I can smell..... Dead flesh everywhere," Leo said taking a sniff of the air.
Percy nodded as he reached into his pocket and felt two pens in there, Riptide and Waverider. Percy decided to use Waverider for now, after all he basically got no practical use with said weapon. "I took us into a training area filled with enemies. They aren't that strong, for me. But they should be more than a challenge for you Leo."
Leo snarled showing off his sharp teeth, "don't underestimate me human."
Percy smiled as he took out Waveride and spunt it twice turning the weapon into its trident form. "Alright remember you are going to be facing zombies, basically dead and rotting humans. Aim for their neck and we should be good. If not I'll step in."
"I don't need your help," Leo huffed.
Percy smiled, "call it an insurance policy."
Leo looked confused, "what is an insurance policy?"
Percy sighed, "never mind. Just....let's just go."
The dog and demigod then turned and walked into the forest. They barely went ten steps before a zombie jumped out of the forest and started to attack them. "Attack Leo," Percy said as he opened his skill list looking for something new to use against the zombie.
The dog barked and pounced on the zombie. Leo bite into the zombies leg and pulled with all his might dropping the zombie onto the ground. The dog then jumped up and began tearing into the zombies neck ripping out flesh until only bone remained.
Suddenly the zombie's hand came up and punched Leo on the side sending the dog tumbling over. The zombie then got up and approached the downed pup. Leo was struggling to breath, the punch had broken a rib;
Leo, HP: 20/50
The zombie however wasn't at all effected by having his throat split open;
Zombie, HP: 250/300
The zombie looked at the downed form of Leo and snarled. Leo looked up in pain and growled in anger. The zombie then pounced forward, but before it could do anything else Waverider found itself piercing the zombie's body causing the monster to explode into dust.
"Not bad Leo," Percy said bending over his beaten dog, "you managed to harm him."
"I'm in so much pain," Leo whinned, instantly making Percy feel sad.
"I'll have you healed up in a second," PErcy said as he placed a hand over Leo's body channeling his healing skill. 450 MP went into Leo, but the dog's wounds quickly repaired themselves. Percy then drew a blood rune on Leo's forehead and put in 30 HP and 200 MPA into reviveing all lost health. It was a long process, but when Percy was done Leo was good as new.
"Wow master! I feel great! You the best master ever!" Leo barked in happiness wagging his tail.
Percy smiled, "thanks buddy. Okay, let's see how much strongers you got," Percy pulled up Leo's stats;
Leo, Exp— 25/100
The total exp a normal zombie gives is 50. If Leo got only 25 then than means the experience points was split in half, 25 for him, 25 for Percy.
Percy sighed. In all honestly he knew what was wrong with Leo, the dog had been domesticated for too long. He had been a pet for over a year and had to fight his base instincts of a fighter. He was a wolf, not a dog, but the way he acted Percy couldn't call him anything but.
'Hmm, in that case...'
"Hey Leo, let's try something new okay?"
The dog barked, "okay!"
"Alright, so the next monster you see, simply scratch him with your claws and then run away, I'll take care of the rest."
