"Percy!" Luke called out but then suddenly a giant metal tail slammed into Luke and Grover and threw them into the opposite side of the room. The two hit the wall and immediately fell unconscious.
Percy groaned as he rubbed his head, 'god who hit me?' He head was hurt but due to Gamer's body he didn't lose unconsciousness like Grover and Luke. Percy got to his feet and stopped moving once he saw what was looking back at him.
Those red eyes belong to a massive robotic snake. Bronze metal replaced scale and in between the scales Percy could see thick wire running along its body. It's head was angular and it's teeth looked sharp, very sharp. It had a crown on it's head which kind of looked like a big trident and did I mention how sharp it's teeth looked?
Percy then Observed the thing;
Robotic Snake Guardian of Hephaestus,
Lv— 42
HP:25,000/25,000
MP:40/40
Str-45
Vis-42
Dex-43
Int-3
Wis-1
Luc-9
This snake is one of the twelve guardians of the twelve forges hidden all over America. This guardian in particular is known for it's deadly attack and have you seen it's teeth? It takes it's job very seriously and also is known for crushing its opponents to death before eating it, like a real snake.
Kill to gain— 15,000 Exp
Percy then dismissed the box and looked for Luke and Grover. He found them against the wall on the opposite side of the wall, unconscious. Percy sighed in relief and then turned to the snake, 'showtime'. He smirked and quickly pulled out his gauntlet of Kefka and put it on, "you know you should have left those two concious."
The snake narrowed it's red robotic eyes and hissed. Its body coiled around itself to form a shield of sort in case Percy would try and attack it.
"Yeah yeah I know what you were thinking. Reduce their numbers and take them out quickly. Flawless logic," Percy then summoned Zed, Alecto and Craig (Knight of the Damned) "only problem, I couldn't show my real power with them around. But now," Percy then turned to his servant who nodded in waiting, "attack!"
Alecto took to the air but found it difficult to move calso to the enemy in the small room. Percy quickly threw her his bow and quiver, "distract him."
"I don't really think arrows are going to distract that thing!" Alecto cried out as she flew away firing arrows at the robotics snake, who didn't really seem to mind.
"Zed I need you to ramn that thing," Percy told Zed who nodded. Percy gave him his blade and the servant charged that the snake who finally seemed to notice it was being attacked. The creature coilled back and then lunged forward at Zed moving in the blink of an eye.
Zed held the flat of his blade up and managed to take on the entire force of the snake head on with his incredible strength alone. The snake then moved back and quickly moved away and Zed gave chase to the beast.
Percy looked at the Knight, "can you fight that thing?" The Knight nodded, "good." Percy then took out Riptide and one of the many blade he got from the robots before. The two then charged the snake, who was now being attacked by Zed.
Percy struck between it's scales and tore the wires underneath, but the thing didn't stop moving. The snake instead moved its tail and smacked Alecto right in the face and ripped her head off. The Fury turned into smoke dropping the bow and arrow and flew into Percy's gauntlet.
Percy cursed but continued fighting with the Knight and Zed. Zed punched the snake in the mouth causing the creature to real back, did robots even feel pain? Percy saw this chance and jumped along it's scales and threw Riptide into one of it's eyes blinding the thing.
The snake started to move all over the room as it threw Percy off of it in anger. The Knight managed to grab Percy before he hit the ground and the two moved next to Zed, "got a plan boss?"
Percy shook his head, "not really Zed. That thing is basically a giant snake, the only thing I can think of is to trap it in the tunnels back there....wait that just might work. Zed, Craig follow me." Percy then waved the over and the three quickly began to run to the tunnel and sure enough the snake followed.
They ran in and Percy looked back to see whether the snake was following, and sure enough it was. "ROARRR!" It shouted out and Percy looked straight and ran faster, 'shit shit shit!'
As the came near the entrance of the forge Percy called out, "break the pipes!"
Zed looked at Percy, "what?!"
"Break the bloody pipes Zed!"
Zed sighed and immediately started to swing his blade to the side causing a lot of steam to be released in the path of the snake. Craig followed suit doing the same.
Soon the entrance came upon them and right then Percy turned and put to hands up, "water spikes!"
The snake moved forward but before it shut its jaws over Percy head something caught onto its sides. The snake looked back and they're coming out of the steam pipes were water spikes coming out of the opening of the pipes.
Ping!
Critical damage! 300% of the 1050 Attack = 3675 Attack!
Percy sighed as he plan had worked. He condensed the steam into water as the moved and when it was finally ready he skerwered thet fuckingsnake like a kebab. Percy pulled up his mana bar;
Percy, MP: 15/425
This condensing of the steam was mist control costed 10 MP and the Water Spikes costed 400 MP, meaning there should be 5 spikes logged into the snake right now. Percy then pulled up the snake's health;
Robotic Snake Guardian of Hephaestus, HP: 20,000/25,000
It's lesser health must mean Zed had something to do with that. Percy turned to his servants, "you guys ready?"
Zed held up his blade and in a feral voice replied, "oh yeah." The Knight simply nodded as the three turned to the snake leaking massive amounts of bloodlust that the snake started to leak a little bit of oil from the back.
Zed attacked first as he started to whale on the thing with his blade.
Robotic Snake Guardian of Hephaestus, HP: 19,500/25,000
Robotic Snake Guardian of Hephaestus, HP: 19,000/25,000
Then Craig jumps in and started attacking as well;
Robotic Snake Guardian of Hephaestus, HP: 18,000/25,000
Robotic Snake Guardian of Hephaestus, HP: 17,000/25,000
Robotic Snake Guardian of Hephaestus, HP: 16,000/25,000
Percy then charged in and began in favorite movie, "Stardust Wave!" The swords flashed away at the beast's mouth as bronze struck bronze and sparks flew. Percy kept hitting the thing until his second blade snapped causing Percy to reach into his inventory to get out another blade and continue the combo attack.
Finally with one last strike Percy ripped out several of the snake's teeth and hit the monster so hard it literally flew back a good 4 feet.
The calculations went on in his head;
[(45 Strikes x 38 VIT) + 35]% = 1745%
1745% of 250 Attack = 4362 Attack!
Ping!
Critical Strike! 350% of 4362 Attack = 15,267 Attack!
Percy panted as the snake started to groan in pain. It's life was almost gone;
Robotic Snake Guardian of Hephaestus, HP: 733/25,000
Percy looked at Zed, "want to finish this one Zed?"
The red armoured man nodded, "definitely boss." He then lifted his sword up high and brought it down smashing what was left of the monsters head. It then began to slowly melt into dust leaving behind a couple of very strange items. But just then;
Ping!
You have leveled up!

Percy Jackson is a demigod, the son of Sally Jackson and Poseidon. He has ADHD and Dyslexia making it difficult for him to sit still in class. His behaviour has gotten him trouble over the years in various schools. Percy is aware of who is father is, and wishes to find meaning in his life. Percy loves his mother, and hates Gabe, who is a dick.
Status— demigod, giving Percy — +4 VIT, +4 DEX and the ability to breath underwater, enhanced strength, communicate with fish, create earthquakes, talk to horses, control water and look cool.
Percy smiled at this and then closed the box and went to quickly pick up the loot;
2000$
Cape of Scales
Skill book of Strength
Razor Whip
A Snake sculpture
Percy picked up the money and put it away for later and then inspected the book.
Ping!
You have obtained the Skill book of Strength!
Would you like to learn?
YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and the book disappeared as a nothing box showed up;
Ping!
You have gained +1 Str!
Percy smiled and then picked up the cape. The cape had golden scales on the outside with warm leather on the inside. It looked sharp at the ends and very heavy;
Cape of Scales,
A caped that is very good at defence and offence, if you know how to use it. It's light and made out of imperial gold, hence while it looks heavy it really isn't.
Percy read this and immediately put the cape on. It was heavy, but considering it was made of metal it was actually very light. He then tossed the cape into his inventory for later, after all how the hell would he explain this to Luke and Grover?
Percy then picked up the whip next. It was silver with a blue leather holder and blue spikes at the end;
Razor Whip,
A whip that is extremely sharp when mana is called thru it. This whip is extremely dangerous do not, I repeat do not use it for BDSM. Got it?
Attack 25
Percy tossed the whip into his inventory, it may not be needed right now but it would still be cool to learn how to do use it later. Heck if he got a hat as a coll archeologist bag he could be Indiana Jones!
Percy then picked up the last thing that fell from the snake. It was a perfect statue of the snake he just defeated, only it was about 9 inches long and was black all over.
Snake Sculpture,
One of the 12 main sculpture used to unlock the secret vault of Hephaestus, Collect all 12 and gain access to Hephaestus's main armoury.
Percy quickly understood what this thing was. It was like a collectable in a game that unlock extra content, only this time it unlocked the freaking secret vault of the forge god!
After Percy put that away he dismissed Zed and Craig. He then walked back to the main room to see Grover and Luke still unconscious, but safe. Percy then walked towards the podium and smiled, this was it. This was the thing that will help him get his mom back.
But as he walked to the podium he realised something, where the hell was the giant chain? There was nothing there on the podium. He couldn't see it before due to the army of robots and the giant snake.....wow that sentence sounded weird. But either way he couldn't see it before, but now he could and there was nothing here!
Nothing except a note. The paper was white and the ink was black and written on it was;
To whomever finds this note,
Physc! You are shit out of luck sucker! Oh yeah sure I know what you were thinking, 'hey let's go steal Hephaestus's forge he never checks it anyway.' I thought the same thing, only difference is I thought of it too and I got here first. So tough nuts bitch!
-Edward Neak,
Son of Hermes.
Percy looked up and sighed, it seemed somebody was going to die. Edward Neak you just made my shit list.
Alright so here we go another chapter for another week.
Questions,
Minotaur fight inspired?: Ah no I made it up on the go. If it resembles something then I don't know. And I have never heard of something called 'is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon?'
Schedule: I don't really have a seat date for each chapter I'll just publish it whenever I can that way you guys might get more chapters out of me. Also if I say only one chapter a week I'll be like 'neah man I already did I chapter this week' so I try to not make promises.
Whitebread: Yeah okay totally honest here I did not actually realise I was copying White Beard's powers when I gave Percy his Earthquake fist thing. I just thought 'hum what if Percy could punch out Earthquakes?' And then bamn, there it is. But now that I do realize this things are going to get much more interesting.
The level 63 archery mistake: Yeah sorry about that. I had my own file containing all the skills in it and such. I must have copy pasted the wrong thing. It should be fixed by now.
Yay! The reviews system is finally fixed! Also no new chapter for atleast a week from now. Meaning maybe next Friday or something, I'll try to write it up sooner but I'm going to my mom's place for the weekend to...socialize with my cousins. I swear I have more of family members than Percy.
Chapter 14
Chapter 14:
Percy then picked up all the loot the robots from before left behind. The metal was good and having like 50 or so weapons that could kill monster would be a major plus point. Percy also took several shard of the light that shattered in the beginning of the battle, it could be made into a lamp or something in the future.
Percy then tried to absorb the soul of the gigantic robotic snake, it would be so cool if he could do that. Just imagine him riding into battle on that thing! But alas there was a little problem.... THE THING DIDN'T HAVE A FUCKING SOUL! Sure okay yeah he knew it didn't have a soul, it being a robot and all. But come one! He kicked it's bronze ass fair and square!
Percy ranted about this for a few moments before he dragged Luke and Grover outside, they were still out of it and Percy didn't want to wake them up, plus great strength training. Eventually all three were out of the forge of Hephaestus and Percy quickly washed his face with water from the stream and waited for the two to wake up.
But as Percy waited he began to think to himself, 'who the hell is Edward Neak? The name sounds familiar but Percy didn't know why. He said he was the son of Hermes...maybe Luke would know.'
Percy then pulled up his status;
