Percy liked this skill. It would be the perfect for spying on people. Percy then closed the screen looked around. It was getting late. He should probably go to bed. But there was something bugging him. It was Apollo's stupid curse.
The god cursed Percy for just being born and frankly it pissed Percy off. So while he can't kick Apollo's ass right now he could do the next best thing, showing him that even though he cursed me I can still be good at archery.
So with a grin Percy grabbed his bow and quiver and opened an empty ID so that he wouldn't have to sneak around. He walked across the now empty camp and came to the Arena. He walked up to the targets and readied himself. The ID he created would make sure he was alone and could concentrate. No noise to distract him, just him and his training.
Percy drew up the first arrow, notched it and then let it go.
Alright this is the last quick chapter you all are getting out of me. After this I can't make any promises.
Questions,
Gauntlet's holding soul of gods— Yes they can. They can hold anything below Primordial. They can't hold the Fates or anyone the Fates don't want held. Percy's power's is their power, so they get a say in it.
Percy's inventory— Basically its a bunch of boxes which hold items in them. Percy can mentally chose which item he wants to take out, hence why he doesn't shout, 'sword!' every time he reached for a blade.
Putting water directly in the Inventory— Yeah that's not possible. Anything stored in an inventory must be in a container or a defanate shape. Hence why Percy can't store air.
Alright them that is all. Now if you will excuse me I need sleep. Unlike Percy I don't have Gamer's mind keeping me alert 24/7. Keep sending questions you might have and I'll do my best. Again review system isn't working, stuck at 71 for some reason so if I miss something I'm sorry.
Chapter 12
Chapter 12:
As the sun came up over the red sky light found it's way over the Arena revealing Percy shooting his last arrow at the target. His fingers were bloody, they were cut from drawing back the bowstring one to many times.
On the target were several arrow all on the target and only a few on the ground. Percy had spent the entire night here practising archery. He didn't stop to rest, his Gamer's body made sure of that. His mind was clear thanks to his Gamer's mind.
Only now did Percy begin to appreciate his gifts. He did need to sleep anymore, he only needed to do it if he was injured. He didn't to eat also if his HP was high, he only did it because he liked eating.
Truly Gamer's Mind and Body were a very useful skill to have. The results of which floated before Percy in a blue box;
Archery, Lv-40 (30%)
You can shoot an arrow, it just might hit it's target.
Accuracy— 40%
Percy had done it. He had done all this in one night, just imagine what he could do in a week, and then two weeks. Percy had also raised his Dex by 8 and his Str increased by 12 causing Percy to raise his weights to 50 pounds each.
Percy looked up, 'the sun's up already?' Seeing this as his cue to leave Percy gathered all his arrows and went back to the Poseidon cabin. The then thought, 'ID escape.' Causing the red sky out there to break and turn blue again. Percy could hear the sounds of birds chirping now and smiled as he saw various people run across the camp to the Mess Hall.
Percy may not need to eat anymore to survive but that didn't mean he didn't like eating food in general.
Percy put away his bow and quiver in his inventory and then walked out of the cabin. He then walked to the Mess Hall and grabbed himself a huge plate of meat, cheese and grapes, truly the food of the Gods. He gave some for his dad and ehne no one was watching shaved most of it into his inventory.
Percy then began to eat what was left slowly as he made plans for the day. Percy then pulled up his stats;
STR-24
VIT-22(+4)=26
DEX-28(+4)=32
INT-23
WIS-22
LUC-19
Not bad, not bad at all. Today maybe he should—
"Heya Percy!" Travis Stoll called out interrupting Percy's train of thought.
Percy looked up and saw both the Stool brothers standing over his shoulder with identical grins. "Oh hey guy's what's up?"
"Did you use it?" asked Conner as he tried and failed to control his laughter.
"Use what?" Percy asked confused.
"Use the HNI," Travis explained.
"Oh yeah I used it," Percy said smiling, "I managed to make some drachma sealing some useless junk on the online market."
Travis and Conner looked like owls as they stared at him, "wait your telling me the first thing you did when you got access to the internet was go shopping?"
"Ah..yeah?" Percy replied hesitantly.
"Wow," Conner said actually surprised, "so you didn't look at porn?"
"No."
"Not even a little?"
"No."
"Didn't shop for any playboys?"
"Nope."
"What did you do all night?!" the two brothers yelled together causing Percy to chuckle nervously.
"I was training," Percy explained, "my archery skills suck so I wanted to practise."
"They don't just suck Jackson they are non existent!" Michael Yew called out from the Apollo table.
"Shut up Michael! And stop listing to other people's conversations!"
"I can't help it Percy my dad is the god to truth! I have to interfere when someone tells a lie!"
Percy chuckled and turned back to the Stoll brother, "so no I didn't visit any porn sights yet."
The two nodded, "alright then we just wanted to say and see whether you got the HNI working. See around Percy!"
Percy waved them away and turned back to his stats. Now where was I? Ah yes, improving his Int and Dex. It was true he had a high amount of stata but he needed more. But maybe he could do that later, for now let's focus on improving Vit.
The speed Percy felt when fighting the Knight of the Damned was exhilarating. It was like a drug and Percy wanted more. But first he needed to get some things fixed.
Percy walked out of the Mess Hall and when he was alone walking down the main path, pulled out his plated armour. The poor thing was torn apart from yesterday's battle. Percy slung it over his shoulder and then went to the forge where again he walked to Nina's table where the girl was working on a bronze sphere of some kind.
"Hey Nina," Percy called out with a smile.
"EP!" the cried out and turned to see Percy there. Nina then saw Percy and smiled, "damn Percy are you a ninja or something?"
"Hehe, I wish. that would so cool! Imagine it me being all stealthy and shit!"
"Hehe yeah it might be a little fun. Anyway what can I help you with?"
Percy then pulled up his armour and laid it on her workbench, "my armour got pretty messed up. Think you can fix it?"
The daughter of Hephaestus looked at the piece and formed. She took out a plate and inspected it against the light and found no fault in it. "This is a good peice Percy, something most Greek demigods don't were. But it's far too messed up. It's torn at the leather and if you fixed it it would be a patch job at best."
"I see," PErcy replied with a frown, "so what do you suggest?"
"Well..." Nina then took out a roll of paper and spread it out showing a greek designed armour, "I can make it into this. I'll turn the leather into the Greek armour and put the plates on top."
Percy nodded, "okay quick question can I not be wearing a skirt?"
"What?"
Percy pointed at what the greek used to where instead of leg armour, "that thing. Can I not wear a skirt. I'll admit I have some fine legs but I don't want to put them on display."
"Haha, well I'm sure you can just wear a pair of jeans if you need to Percy."
Percy smiled back, "okay let's do it. When will it be ready Nina?"
"Ah, two days, meaning you can't use it for capture the flag tomorrow."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Percy said scratching his head, "well can you get it done by then?"
"Is money not an issue?"
"Yup."
"I can get it done by then," Nina then took the armour off and Percy quickly turned to walk out. But just then Percy saw a huge tire sitting in the corner of the Forge, suddenly an idea popped into his head.
"Hey Nina, can I borrow that for a second?"
A few minutes later,
Percy now stood in the Arena with a chain around his torso and the giant tire behind him. Percy quickly performed a few stretches and got ready for the run. He then moved forward, each step was like pushing up against a mountain as Percy slowly dragged the tire across the track.
The first few steps seemed easy. The next few seemed challenging, but after that it became hell. Percy's shins burned but the son of Poseidon didn't stop. He pushed himself and by the time he finished half a lap;
Ping!
Due to strenuous exercises you have gained, +2 Str and +4 Vit!
Percy closed the box and focused only on pulling the tire along. The weighted wristbands on his hands were helping improve his strength, and he was carrying a FREAKING tire! Him pushing himself increased his stamina and hence this should be the perfect exercise to improve both Str and Vit.
As soon as on round was down Percy collapsed onto the ground and started to pant. It was done, one full round done. Percy then looked around and saw several campers that were training in the Arena before were now looking at him.
"Ah...can I help you guys?" Percy asked and immediately most of them turned away leaving Percy confused.
Well whatever he had a job to do anyway. Percy got up and began his second round. By the time Percy finished the second round his Str had gone up by 2 and his Vit by 3. Now Percy collapsed on the ground exhausted. Gamer's body might make him not feel fatigue but he was still exhausted beyond belief.
Percy took of the chain around him and then moved the tire upright. He then began moving the tire back towards the forge all the while the campers were giving him weird looks. After Percy put the tire back inside the forge and thanking Nina for letting him use it Percy walked over to the Athena cabin.
Inside Percy found the Athena kids busy with their own projects so Percy just sat down and looked over all the research material he gathered on the underworld and Hades. He was prepared to go down there and fight, but he had no way of beating a god. So PErcy spent most of his time here doing research about what he could use to defeat Hades.
Annabeth walked over, "hey Percy you're early today."
"Yeah I wanted to get more work done," Percy said with a smile.
"So you're going to be here the whole day?"
"Yup," Percy smiled, "aren't you a lucky girl."
Annabeth grinned, "no Mr. Jackson you are the lucky one, you get to be in my presence all day long."
"Being vain doesn't suit you Annabeth."
"Oh please it suits me just fine," the child of wisdom said with a smile, "no get to work. We children of Athena don't like laziness."
Percy saluted and quickly got down to his business. Over the next five hours that Percy spent in the cabin, the longest he had ever spent. He read about all the myths surrounding Hades and he thinks he finally found something to defeat the bastard, or at least stop him.
Ping!
Due to constant studying you have gained +5 Int and +5 Wis!
Percy closed the box and quickly walked out of the cabin. After a quick lunch at the Mess Hall Percy went to the camp fire where the Apollo kids sang songs and everyone was in an active mode. Percy wondered why and just then Annabeth came up to him, "hey Percy got a second?"
Percy nodded, "yeah sure no problem what up?"
"Well you know that the capture the flag game is tomorrow right?"
"Ah so that's what everyone is excited for."
"Yup, anyway I was wondering want to join my team?"
"Really? Wow Annabeth that sounds great. Who all is there?"
"Well there is us, Athena cabin and Hermes cabin. And we just managed to get Apollo cabin in as well."
"Sweet. Okay I'll join, where do I sign up?"
Annabeth chuckled, "you don't have to sign anything sea head, just be there."
Percy nodded and the two talked for a while after that. Later at night Percy was in his cabin alone. He put his hand up, 'ID create: Empty.' The outside world turned red and Percy quickly grabbed his bow and arrow and left for the Arena again.
The Next Morning,
It was the second morning that Percy had gone without sleep and so far it hadn't actually affected his body. Before if he stayed up a few hours past 10 he would start getting drowsy but now he felt fine.
Ping!
Due to constant bow and arrowing your skill has leveled up!
Archery, Lv-63 (30%)
You can shoot an arrow, it just might hit it's target.
Accuracy— 63%
Due to semi— accurate shots you have gained +3 Dex!
He gained nearly half the amount of levels he gained last night, but that was alright. He wasn't going to win any trophies for a fancy shot any time soon but he didn't care about that. All he wanted is to be a good shot.
Percy then walked back to his cabin, broke the ID and then came out. After breakfast he went to Athena cabin and borrowed a couple of handheld puzzles he saw the Athena kids solve. He then went to the Forge and grabbed the tire and chain.
In the Arena this time while Percy pulled the tire with the chain around his stomach he also began to try and solve the many puzzles he had grabbed. One of them was a cube which you had to open by twisting and turning. Another was a sphere where you had to twist it until you found the secret image printed on it.
Hence the strangest tradition of camp began. When many campers came to the Arena to train that morning they were both shocked and impressed at what Percy was doing. He was dragging a tire while solving puzzles with his hands. What's next? A unicycle? Well it would help with balance.
After spending the entire afternoon doing this, Percy ran out of puzzles to solve. He then stopped and took the chain of his body and put all the puzzles away. Percy then looked up at the boxes floating in front of him.
Due to solving several puzzles using your head you have gained +4 Wis!
Due to you dragging a tire and having weighted wristbands you have gained + 4 Str!
Due to you dragging a tire around in circle you have gained + 5 Vit!
Percy then put the tire and puzzles back in their respect building and walked along the stream. It was a tiring day and Percy had actually managed to do something good today. Since the capture the flag game was tonight Percy didn't want to push himself too much.
