The car soon pulled up to an old looking manner that looked like it was built in the 1940's. The Collector and Percy stepped out as they walked towards the front of the manor, stopping before entering inside.
The Collector turned, "look at this," he pointed to the island in front of them. Percy did so and was amazed. If there was ever any place where a city for demigods could be built....it was this one. An island all for themselves, no need to hide, no need to run. And since it's an island the chances of monsters attacking are next to zero.
But despite all that Percy sighed, "how much?" Percy doubted he could afford it easly, even with all the money he could make from seeing each and every piece of Alcyoneus's body he would still have to work overtime to pull precious metals out of the ground. It would be a long and boring process, but he would do it.
"It's free," The Collector spoke startling Percy.
"W-what?!" Percy shouted, "it's free?"
The pale man nodded, "yes, consider it my gift to you, the prize you earned for guessing my name correctly."
Percy blinked, "is a name really worth all this? This island is probably worth billions!"
The Collector nodded, "yes, this island is worth billions, but so is a name. Don't forget that Percy Jackson," the man started into Percy's as red eyes meet green, "don't ever forget the power of a name."
Percy nodded blankly, "so.....when can I get the official documents out of the way?"
"It's already done," the immortal Jew responded, "I put it under your mother's name to be inherited by you once you come of age. Congratulations Percy Jackson, you are now the owner of an island."
Percy blinked, "holy shit."
The Collector chuckled, "I suggest your run along now, I'm sure you are eager to tell your friends the good news."
Percy blinked, "yeah...sure. But ah don't you need the boat?"
The Collector raised an eyebrow, "Percy I am well aware that you don't need a boat to travel, after all with a max speed little over mach 1 I doubt you need any vehicle at all."
Percy was nervous, "how did you know that? How did you know exactly how fast I can run? I never ever crossed mach 1 when in America, never. So how do you know that I can not only cross it, but surpass it?"
The Collector shrugged, "it's gift, like how you knew my name."
Percy was already getting freaked out. He gulped but said nothing else as he quickly turned as zoomed away in a blur of speed leaving the island and running over the water towards camp Half-Blood.
"That was awfully mean of you," the female chauffeur spoke up chuckling as she snapped her fingers turning her hair blue and her eyes sulphuric yellow, "I think you might have scared him off."
The Collector shrugged, "he's a brave boy sister, I'm sure he'll be fine."
"True, plus the island is just too good a deal to pass up," The woman grinned, "even for him."
"Are you planning on keeping up your disguise? Which one is this again?"
"Carol Dadeda, caretaker of the island," the woman said as she sighed, "and yes, how else am I going to introduce myself to him?"
The Collector raised an eyebrow, "isn't that a bit risky? We don't know if he-"
The woman rolled her eyes, "I told you, I know how he thinks, I know what he will do, and I know about his....particular powers. He won't make me out unless I want him to."
The Collector chuckled, "yes well do be carefull. You do remember the last time you got this excited."
The woman rolled her eyes, "that was one time Jojo!"
"You caused world war 1."
"Well.....fuck, forget this, I'll be careful from now on, I promise. After all," the woman's happy demeanor melted away as she narrowed her eyes, "it's about to start."
"Do you really think he's ready?"
The woman smirked, "yeah, I do. After all, he is The Gamer, there's nothing he can't handle."
Please not I will not be able to give chapters more frequently, despite it being summer, that's not the way it works in India, in fact college has already started for me.
Enjoy, hope you like the new character I'm introducing, and also, yay for porn!
Chapter 47
Chapter 47:
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 groaned as he pushed the notification away getting up. Last night had been brutal. He had spent it training himself in his new found mana control abilities.
Oddly enough it was easy to control, kind of like water control, but it also had it's own unique properties. The closest things he could compare it to would be just pure energy, if he made a construct with it it became solid, if he didn't then it would just be pure energy.
Percy yawned as he threw his blanket off of him getting up, Thalia hadn't come in last night, she was also training like crazy. Something about improving her lighting control, Percy didn't ask because her secret's were her own.
Seeing Leo sitting by the TV made Percy smiled as he scratched the dog behind the ear waking him up. "Time to get up bud, we have a long day ahead of us."
Leo yawned, "are we going for a walk?"
Percy nodded, "yup. A nice long walk."
Leo mumbled, "good. I'll see you then."
Percy chuckled as Leo put his head back down returning back to sleep. The demigod quickly grabbed a towel and his phone as he walked out of the cabin. As he closed the door behind him suddenly somebody cried out;
"SUPRISE!"
Percy turned around in a flash dropping his towel as his hands immediately went to his pocket. Percy blinked as he realized standing before him in front of his cabin was all his friends. The head counselors, Michela, Clarisse, Annabeth, Nina, Mera, Nico, Decker even Peter from the Ares cabin was here.
"Ah, guys? What's going on?" Percy asked looking at his grinning friends.
"Don't tell me you forgot!" Michael shouted out as everyone else chuckled.
"Forgot? Forgot what?" Percy asked.
"Told you he would forget," Annabeth mumbled, "and even after all the efforts we took waking up so early in the morning just to surprise him."
"Will someone tell me what's going on?!" Percy asked desperately, "I'm really starting to freak out here guys!"
"Simple fish head," Thalia's familiar voice called out as the small group of demigods in front of the Poseidon cabin parted allowing Thalia to walk towards Percy with a cake in her hand. The cake was blue with a single light candle. On it were the words 'Happy Birthday Percy' written on it with deep blue frosting.
"Holy shit," Percy mumbled as Thalia stopped in front of him, "it's my birthday."

Percy was amazed at this, he had forgotten his birthday, again! He pushed the boxes away and looked at Thalia. She smiled at him as she presented the cake.
Percy grinned as every slowly began to sing happy birthday. Percy smiled at them all and quickly blew out the candle causing everyone to clap.
"Enough clapping!" Michael shouted, "let's eat this bad boy!" everyone chuckled but agreed with Michael's suggestion as the Poseidon cabin was filled to the brim with demigods.
Michael and the guys immediately jumped onto Percy's bed and turned on the TV, a documentary about Greek culture was playing. The girls quickly made a small group for themselves as they sat around gossiping while Nico and Decker were in one corner plotting their next prank with the help of the Stoll brothers.
Percy helped Thalia serve the cake as he smiled at her, "did you make this yourself?"
Thalia blushed, "yeah," she whispered in a low tone, "how did you know?"
Percy reached behind Thalia's ear as he took out a smudge of flour left behind, "you're a very messy cook."
Thalia blushed, "damn it. I thought I got all of it."
Percy chuckled, "it really doesn't matter," he kissed her on the check, "thanks Thalia, this is the best birthday ever."
Thalia kissed Percy back as the two began to serve everyone cake.
"Is eating cake the first thing in the morning really such a good idea?" Decker asked aloud.
"Shut up Decker! No one asked you!" Nico shouted at his friend, "and if you don't want your cake I'll just take-"
"-Nope!" Decker cried out as he grabbed the plate and moved it away from Nico's greedy hands, "no thank you."
Nico huffed as everyone chuckled at their antics. Percy chuckled but Decker was right, they did need more than just cake. So Percy opened up his inventory and started pulling out food from the Lotus casino that he had stored up in there.
All in all it was a good small party where people just sat around talking. Today was already starting to look like a good day.
After the heavy breakfast Percy and his small band of friends made way to the Mess Hall where the meet the rest of the camp. Everyone quickly went their own way while Percy and Thalia sat down together at the Poseidon table. They had been doing so for sometime now and people didn't really seem care, and since no one stopped them they continued to do so.
Percy sat next to her hand in hand, "so what's the plan for today?" Thalia asked Percy.
"Well I was hoping that we could take a day off," Percy told her with a grin, "maybe visit your brother in camp Jupiter, see how their doing. Then...I don't know, maybe see my mom and then.....well I honestly don't know."
"What did you do for your last birthday?" Thalia asked him.
"I went dungeon crawling with my dad."
Thalia blinked, "you cleared a dungeon with your dad? Poseidon? Like the God."
Percy nodded, "yeah, I know. Bloody bugger stole my kill. He was all like, 'I didn't think you could handle it Percy,' but I could see the way he was looking at me, just wanted to steal my experiance points."
Thalia chuckled, "alright then, note to self, don't take Percy's experience points. So you have no plans for today? Nothing?"
Percy shrugged, "I'm not really a birthday planner kind of guy."
"What did you do before? You know, before all of this?"
"Well I.....I stayed at sea, I just.....stayed at the sea," Percy smiled remembering the fond memories, "my mom would take me out to the lighthouse we rented out in Montauk and we would spend the week there, just the two of us. I loved looking out at the see, it just.....relaxed me I suppose. Gods, looking back I so should have realised I was a son of Poseidon even then!"
Thalia smiled, "maybe. But let's get back to buisness, I want today to be the best day in your life, well one of anyway, so I was thinking why not go to an amusement park or something?"
Percy smiled, "an amusement park? Really?"
"What? No ood?"
Percy shook his head, "no...no, that sounds awesome," Percy grinned, "never been to one before. Well I have, but that one was abandoned and I had to fight off robotic spiders with video camera Hephaestus set up to try and catch Ares and Aphrodite making out."
Thalia raised an eyebrow, "was that the time you and Luke had to retrieve the shield of Ares?"
Percy nodded, "yup."
Thalia nodded, "well I promise, no monsters, no robotic spiders and no Gods. Just you, me, and everyone else in camp."
Percy blinked, "what? Thalia we can't bring everyone with us! They aren't immune to their scent! With the whole camp there we are bound to draw every monster right to us!"
"And that is why I'm here," a familiar voice called out behind Percy.
The demigod turned and saw Edward standing behind him with a large silver briefcase by his side. The son of Hermes looked around as a look of nostalgia came over him, "even after all this time it hasn't changed a bit."
"Ed? What are you doing here?" Percy asked as he got up to give his older friend a hug.
"Hey Percy, and happy birthday," Edward said with a smile returning the hug, "and I am here to give you a present."
Percy stepped to the side as Ed put his briefcase on the table and opened it. Inside was filled will green pills each placed inside tiny individual plastic bags. A quick count told Percy that there was enough for the entire camp, with a lot left over.
"Good job Ed," Thalia said with a grin, "you pulled through."
Edward scoffed, "why do you act so surprised? I told you I would have it ready didn't I? Please, have some faith daughter of Zeus."
Thalia rolled her eyes, "yeah yeah money pants, sorry if I offended you, please accept my most sincere of apologies," she said pouring on the sarcasm.
"You know when you say it like that that I kind of feel like you don't appreciate me," Edward said forening.
"Okay what is going on?" Percy asked, "I seriously feel left out."
"Well you girlfirend here," Edward emphasized the word grinning at Percy, "called me up and asked for a favour. A sort of birthday present for you."
Percy turned to Thalia, "you asked him to make the pills?"
Thalia nodded, "yup, we knew they worked, so I figured why not? So I figured, 'hey Percy's birthday is coming up, and everyone in camp is working super hard, so why not give them a break?' And just like that got the awsome idea of an amusement park."
Percy blinked, "seriously? How did you even get Ed's number?"
"I got it from your phone," Thalia said with a shrug, "by the way you should really store that in your inventory."
"I don't get a signal in my inventory," Percy told her, "so nobody would be able to call me if I did that."
Thalia shrugged, "anyway, so I planned this all out, aren't I the best girlfriend ever?"
Percy smiled, "yes, yes you are," he then kissed Thalia deeply as he wrapped his hands around her waist.
They broke the kiss when Percy suddenly had a thought, "but how are we going to get tickets for an amusement park? There are at least 150 demigods here, we can fill a normal park all on our own!"
"Already got that covered," Edward spoke up as he pushed the green pills away revealing a stack of tickets inside the briefcase. He passed them to Percy who looked them over;
Full day pass to Splish Splash water park!
