Percy used his legs to pull Riptide out of the tentacle and landed on the wooden deck of the ship, 'wood? Since when are ships these days made of wood?'
Percy pushed that question aside and turned to the giant octopus;

Dave is a giant octopus that was always made fun of by his friends for being so big. So he is considered a very lonely creature of the sea. He likes to play with whales and other large creatures but in the end he is alone. Right now he is attacking a ship because they woke him up.
Kill to gain— 20,000 Exp
"You no good stinking human! I'll eat you all!" The octopus roared out as it moves it's tentacles around while the crew of the ship attacked it with their weapons.
'Wait...did that thing just talk?' Percy blinked when suddenly it hit him, 'no it didn't talk, I can understand it!' He was the son of Poseidon after all
"Hey you there stop!" Percy yelled attracting the crew's and the Dave's attention, "stop fighting for one second!"
Dave the octopus looked at Percy before slowly moving it's tentacles. The ship's crew also stopped attacking the octopus and looked at Percy with a look of surprise and shock.
"You can understand me?"
Percy nodded as he tossed Riptide aside and held his hands up, "yeah I can."
"Are you a water spirit?"
"Something like that," Percy replied, "look I know you're kind of pissed and all, and I did just try to cut off one of your arms, but ah you could please stop attacking the crew?"
"Why should I!?" Dave roared out startling the crew.
"Wait!" Percy yelled stopping the crew from moving, "let me handle this." He turned to the giant octopus again, "I know you're pissed, and you have every right to be, but could you like settle this later? I really need these guys to kind of save the lives of my friends."
"Humph," The giant octopus humphed, "and why should I do anything you say?"
Percy sighed, he really didn't' want to threaten Dave, it seemed like a nice guy-ah, a nice octopus, but some people never change. So Percy poured his Bloodlust outwards and looked at the octopus right in the eyes, "if you don't leave right now I'll turn you into a popsicle" Percy then used his ice control to freeze the water near the octopus,
Dave's looked at Percy with eyes filled with fear, "you don't have the strength."
Percy smiled as he froze even more of the water with some of the ice creeping onto Dave's body and slowly biting into his suckers, "try me."
Dave narrowed his eyes, "you think a little bit of ice scares me?! I'll fucking squash you like a bug!"
Percy sighed, "worth a shot," he then launched himself at Dave with his right hand drawn back. He charged up his hand and punched the octopus right between the eyes, "Giga Impact!"
Dave's body was ripped off the ship as he flew back 20 feet into the ocean. Some wood was broken off as well but luckily the hull wasn't damaged. Percy landed on the deck of the orange ship and sighed, the quest hadn't even began and already he was fighting monsters.
"Well now who exactly might you be?" A voice asked drawing Percy's attention.
The demigod looked and saw the crew of the ship slowly surround him. With more time to properly look at them he realised that they were all dressed like sailors for the age of explorers. Most had some form of leather on on them, be it from vests or boots, along with very light clothes.
Thier skin was bronze, probably due to the days spent sailing under the sun and most of the had a weapon of some sort. Most of the crew looked well over 50 with only a few younger men among them.
"My name is Percy Jackson, you guys were supposed to pick me up," the son of Poseidon explained eyeing the men around him. They didn't look like they were proper sailors, if anything they looked more like pirates.
[Ah so you're the little one Hermes wanted us to bring aboard,] said a manly voice. PErcy's eyes winded as he recognized ancient greek being spoken with his mind automatically understanding it.
[Who are you?] Percy replied back in the dead language, not really knowing how he could speak it.
[I'm surprised Hermes didn't tell you who I am,] said the voice coming from behind the group of men around Percy, [usually he is more than happy to show me off to everyone.]
[Well they said they wanted it to be a surprise,] Percy replied back as he tried to look through the people around him and find the mysterious man talking to him.
"Well then move aside men, let the boy see who is to be his captain," said the voice in english. The crew in front of Percy moved aside making a pathway. Slowly a man walked through the path, his hair was long and brown with a receding hairline. His eyes were dirty blue and on his face was that oh so familiar smirk that every child of Hermes had on. The man wore a black long coat with gold trimmings which hugged him tightly showing off his thin frame. On his side was a greek style sword similar to Percy's own except his was pure white.
Percy gasped when he saw the man's name and level. "Ah so you recognize me," the captain said with a smile, "I must admit that's fast, even for a demigod."
"Y-you're-"
"Yes I know," the man smirk grew bigger, "but since you can't seem to bring yourself to say it allow me to introduce myself. I am Odysseus, former king of Ithaka, hero of the Trojan war and grandson of Hermes, that last part I was forced to always say by the god of thieves himself."
"You......you are supposed to be dead," Percy finally managed to say looking at the man who was one the first legendary heroes of humanity.
"So are the Greek gods," Odysseus replied with a smile, "now tell me little one, who are you?"
Percy gulped as used Gamer's mind to calm himself, "I-I'm Percy, Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon."
The legendary hero of Greek myth nodded, "hello Percy and welcome to my ship, the Ascension."
Alright here you all go since so many of you asked for it I decided to skip a day of college and finish the chapter up. Now tell me I'm awsome.
Oh also remember the Goblin King I used? Well that was partly inspired by a manga called RE: Monster, which is an awsome manage that I highly recomend. The story flows easly and you have a very interesting lead, who is a goblin. It's not exactly a traditional gamer fic but that''s why it's sooo goood.
And one more thing, this is a shout out to a very good Fan fic I read recently, it's called the Unstoppable flash by DarthManwe. It's a crossover of the Flash and Kim freaking Possible, and I know what your thinking but I promise you it's well worth a read and I promise you won't regret it, ever. So please check it out and give that great writer all the love and reviews he deserves.
Alright I'm done, also please note there will be no chapter for the next two weeks. Please don't ask or else I will want to write and not study and fail. And you don't want me to fail do you? Because if I do than there is no new chapters for a month! Whahaha
Also this has not been Beta'ed, sorry.
Chapter 27
Chapter 27:
You have slept in a bed, or something; HP and MP have been restored 75% each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Sun light can in through the window and hit Percy's eyes waking the son of Poseidon up. Percy rubbed his eyes and yawned and slowly looked around. He found himself in a hammock with several sailors sleeping near him. They smelt like rotten eggs and burnt rum. Percy sighed as he wiggled out of his hammock and got down.
The sailor's quarters was dirty and filled with the personal items of various crew members. Percy stretched and closed the message box he received before going back on deck. Outside on the deck people were already hard at work. Percy looked around and saw a few of the crew tending to the broken parts of the ship fixing what they could in time to set sail.
"Finally awake are you?" Asked a stranger smooth voice. Percy turned at there standing by the edge of the boat was a man with a very thin frame and long blonde hair tied back in a pony tail.
"Ah, yeah, I am," Percy replied looking at the man closely. The blonde man looked European and had a slight french accent in his tone. His shirt was white and very baggy, like something that was made in the 1600's.
"Good that is good," the french accented man said giving Percy and wide smile, "my name is Marc, Marc De Davee, but please call me Marc."
"Hi Marc I'm Percy, Percy-"
"Jackson, yes I am very much aware of you are Mr. Jackson," Marc said with a smile as he walked over to the side to pick up a plank of wood, "you made quite an impression yesterday,"
"Oh? Oh yeah!" Percy said remembering the deal with the giant octopus, "yeah I suppose the would leave an impression."
"Indeed it would," Marc said as he then began to hammer the plank of wood in place over the damaged area along the side of the ship.
"Need some help with that?" Percy asked.
"No it is fine. After all this is my job," Marc replied before looking over Percy's shoulder, "though I do think you will be getting your own assignment soon enough,"
[Ah, you are up I see,] a voice spoke in ancient Greek.
Percy turned and looked up to the upper deck and found Odysseus looking down at him. The captain was wearing the same black captain's coat with gold trimming and on his side was his white blade. The son of the sea nodded, [that I am captain.] Percy replied in flawless ancient greek.
"So have you ever been on a ship before lad?" Odysseus asked switching back to english.
"No, not really."
"Really?" Odysseus said raising an eyebrow, "you're the son of Poseidon and you have never been on a ship before?"
Percy shrugged as he waved bye to Marc and walked up the stairs to the upper deck, "I just never got the chance."
"Pity that," Odysseus said as he took a swing from a mug on hand. Percy quickly than used Observe on the living legend;

It's Odysseus, fucking Odysseus. Open fucking Wikipedia and check for him yourself, you lazy ass hole.....fine.
Odysseus was the king of Ithaka before he was called to fight in the Trojan war. After the war he spent 10 years at sea and eventually came back to his homeland of Ithaka. A lot of shit happened along the way and if you want to know about all of that read a fucking book!
Likes: Knowlegde, Adventures, fried fish
Dislikes: Poseidon, cyclop's, husbands and Seagulls (they shit on everything)
Thinks Percy is an okay kid, doesn't really hate him
Feeling super hungover
Percy was happy to hear that Odysseus didn't hate him for being the son of Poseidon. It would be.....unfortunate to have the guy who's going to take you on his ship hate you."Is that rum?" Percy asked as the sweet alcoholic smell hit him as soon as he came a few feet next to the man.
"Yup," the captain said taking another swing.
"Is it really a great idea to be drinking so early in the morning?"
Odysseus looked up from his mug and smiled, "do you know how to swim Percy?" The captain asked.
"Yeah I do," Percy replied raising an eyebrow, "why?"
"No particular reason," the greek hero replied taking another sip of his rum.
"But why did you even ask?"
"Because of that," Odysseus pointed over Percy's shoulder. The demigod turned just in time to see a wooden pole smack into his stomach throwing him overboard.
Percy fell into the sea with the water breaking his landing. He quickly swam back up and used the water to raise himself back onto the ship.
"Ha ha!" Odysseus pointed and laughed, "that was bloody hilarious!"
"A warning would have been nice!" Percy yelled as he inspected his clothes, which were already dry.
"Well it would but I didn't feel like it."
"And why's that?!"
"Because you commented about my rum," the former king of Ithaka said with a shrug and a sip of his drink.
"And it's your fault for not realising where you were standing," said a gruff voice. Percy turned to see a big man with strong arms and a big gut walk towards them. He wore a black button up shirt with red flowers printed on it and a pair of white slacks. The shirt was left open showing off his big gut and hairy chest but underneath all that Percy could see the muscular body of a sailor;
Galen, Quartermaster

The quartermaster of the Ascension and the right hand man of Odysseus himself, Galen has made a name for himself in the sailing world. Known by many names, 'The Caller','The spawn' or even 'Tom'. Galen is known worldwide for his temper but also his heart.
Likes: His crew and captain.
Dislikes: Demigods
He hates Percy already, must be a new record or something.
He is feeling angry and frustrated.
"Ah Galen meet Percy," Odysseus said as the large man walked up to the captain. The hero of Troy was big but this man dwarfed even him. "Percy this is Galen my second in command, the ship's quartermaster."
Percy nodded extending his arm out for a handshake, "pleased to meet you Mr. Galen."
The big man looked at the hand and humphed dismissing Percy. 'There's that hate for demigods I heard so much about,' though Percy as Galen turned to Odysseus, "captain I need your permission to increase the number of work hours for the sailors."
"Really?" The captain asked with a raised eyebrow, "aren't we already working them to the bone?"
"It's not enough," Galen said crossing his arms over his wide chest, "if we want to get to Nassau in three day's time we need them to work longer."
Odysseus smiled, "well we won't need to, know that Percy's here," Odysseus said looking at the son of Poseidon.
Percy looked at the hero of Troy with his mouth wide open, "what?"
Galen scoffed, "the stupid brat wouldn't know the difference between an anchor hitch and a cleat hitch."
Percy narrowed his eyes, "actually I do know the difference asshole."
Galen glared, "what'd you call me punk?!"
"You heard me dickwipe!"
"Alright enough!" Odysseus yelled, "I will not have anyone fighting on my ship understood?! Galen Percy is a guest and you will treat as such!"
The quartermaster of the ship huffed but nodded, "understood sir." He saluted the captain and walked away going down to the depths of the ship to wake up the rest of the crew leaving Percy and the hero of Troy alone again.
"What's his problem?" Percy asked crossing his arms and frowing.
