Chapter 3
Percy sat up in his bed and stretched. He had just finished what was probably the most boring night of his life. He had completed all the books he had brought home. His Science book, English book, and History book were lying on the floor next to the wall where he had tossed them when he was done.
"The pings should be coming in 3, 2, 1, and"
'Ping'

'You have gained a new skill!

'You have gained a new skill!
History: Lvl 6 (35%)
Your ability to recall the events of the past. You can spout up interesting facts no one cares about. You are currently at a sixth grade level.'
Percy wondered what would happen when he got to a hundred percent understanding of English. Could it go higher? Was there a cap for his skills?
'Ping'
'Due to pondering the unknown and asking the deep questions you have gained 1 WIS.'
"Wow, just from asking myself questions I can get levels. I need to do that more often."
Percy glanced at the digital alarm clock sitting on his dresser. His mom had got it for him when he was 8 while they still lived at the old apartment. She had said it was so he could learn to be responsible for himself. He was glad she had thought him that lesson. Otherwise he could imagine himself using his powers for something stupid like getting revenge on Martin Schmitty for stealing his candy bar a couple weeks ago.
Anyways getting off track here. The clock read 6:00. Percy figured he had enough time to go for a run around Central Park, stop at the library for a few new books, research his gamer powers, and still have time to get ready for school.
Percy hopped off of his mattress and got dressed. He put on a blue short sleeve shirt with a picture of the ocean on it and some green and blue basketball shorts.
He walked into the kitchen and started putting some toast into the toaster.
'Ping'
'You have created a new skill!
Cooking: Lvl 1 (5%)
The ability to cook delicious meals using a variety of tools.
15% chance not to burn it.
10% chance to double the amount made.'
Percy smiled at the new skill. He enjoyed having lots of skill. He felt like he was progressing every time he heard a ping.
Percy pulled his slightly burnt toast out of the toaster and buttered it. Percy remembered a skill he had obtained the day before.
"Observe"
'Slightly Burnt Toast
Heals 10 HP and 10 MP on consumption'
Percy blinked. He hadn't expected that to actually work. He had thought it only worked on people. Percy decided that while he was running he would try to observe as many things as possible.
Speaking of running Percy wondered how he was going to get the weights out of his mom's room without waking her up. He supposed he would just have to try to be quiet and hope he wasn't caught.
'Quest: Shhhhhhhhhhh
Sneak into your mother's room and grab the weights. Make sure she doesn't wake up.
Rewards:
50 XP
Your mother can sleep longer
Failure:
Nothing
Yes/No'
Percy read through the quest and pressed yes. He climbed out of the chair he was sitting in and tip toed up to his mother's door. He slowly turned the knob and pushed the door open slowly.
Creeeaaak
Percy froze. He looked over at his mother laying on her bed, noticed her calm even breathing and relaxed. She hadn't woken up, Good. Percy slipped into the room and picked the weights up from where he had left them yesterday. He quickly sneaked back out and slowly closed the door. When he got back to the kitchen he took a seat on a stool and tried to call his rapidly beating heart.
'Ping'
'Quest complete: Shhhhhhhhhh
Rewards:
20 XP'
'Ping'
'You have gained a new skill!
Sneaking: Lvl 1 (50%)
The ability to move around unseen, unheard, and unnoticed.
15% chance of not getting caught.
"This is one of the first truly useful skills I've gotten so far. Granted it's only been two days, but still."
Percy decided he should start his run before it got too late. He slipped on his red and black sketchers and walked out the front door of his apartment. He lived on the second story of an old apartment complex on the east side of Manhattan. The sun was just being raised into the sky by Apollo. The sky was blue and cloudless. He went down the steps to the ground floor and waved to his neighbor who was out watering his mini window garden. He strapped on the weights and started a slow jog. As he was running he observed people and things he ran by. Another jogger level 17, a mailman level 15, and even an old woman level 22.
Percy ran for a couple miles until he reached Central Park. He stopped at a bench for a minute to catch his breath after the 20 minute run.
'Ping'
'Due to strenuous exercise you have gained 2 DEX and 3 STR.'
'Ping'
'Due to continuous usage your observe has leveled up twice.
Observe: Lvl 6 (17%)
The ability to observe your surroundings. Currently tells Name, Title, Lvl, HP, MP, and description.'
Percy stood up and stretched a little. Then he walked over to the library across the street. When he walked in he was greeted by rows upon rows of books about anything he could imagine. Science, politics, the arts. They had it all. He also saw a few glowing books here and there scattered throughout the library.
Percy walked over to the area that had instruction booklets and picked up one called RPG: How to play.
He sat down on one of the couches and started skimming the contents.
He paused when he came across something entitled Inventory: Storing made easy. He quickly flipped to that chapter and read it through. He hadn't even considered that such a thing was part of his abilities. There was only one way to know for sure.
"Inventory" Percy tried not really expecting anything to happen.
Too his surprise a big screen appeared in the middle of his vision. There were rows and rows of inventory slots. The first box had something inside it. Percy pulled it out of the slot. It looked like a large fang from a dog except the tooth was to big for a normal dog. It had a string tied through a small hole on the top of the tooth. Percy used observe on it.
'Hellhound Fang Necklace:
This tooth is from a Hellhound. (Obviously idiot. Read the name.) It was dropped as a spoil of war when it was killed by Percy Jackson. The Fang on this necklace has been charmed by Distracia. Once a person wears this fang it gives them the ability to control Hellhounds. WARNING this only works once.'
Percy put the necklace around his neck and felt a rush go through him.
'Ping'
'You have discovered a new skill
Hellhound Control: Lvl 1 (0%)
The ability to speak to and control hellhounds.
Limit: 1 Hellhound.'
Percy opened his inventory again. He decided to keep his necklace on because it looked cool but he took off the weights and placed them inside one of the slots. He closed down his inventory and decided to check out a few of the glowing books that were on the shelves. He picked one up and a screen popped up in front of him.
'Would you like to learn a new skill: Judo?
Yes/No'
Percy stared at the screen. There were probably fifty of these in the library. He could potentially learn 50 skills just by clicking yes a few times! Percy pressed yes and watched as the book dissolved into nothing.
'Ping'
'You have discovered a new skill!
Judo: Lvl 1 (0%)
A form of martial arts focused on using holds and leverage to unbalance your opponent.
Current Skill: White Belt'
Percy smiled. This was his first fighting ability. If he started training it he might be able to hold his own if he gets into another fight.
Percy chanced a glance at the clock hanging next to him. It was 7:30 already! Percy sighed, staring longingly at the beautiful glowing books scattered among the oak shelves. He got up from his seat and walked out of the library. He would be back he swore, and he would use every skill book in that library.
Percy started jogging down the sidewalk after adding the weights from his inventory. The weight wasn't as bothering as it was when he first started using them. He could barely feel the strain anymore. On the way home he continued observing everything he could. When he reached his house he hesitated with his hand above the doorknob. He had to figure out a good excuse for why he wasn't in his bed! He had forgotten to leave a note for his mom.
Percy decided to wing it. In hindsight he probably should have figured out a story first. His mom didn't believe him when he said he went for a walk and he got lectured for a few minutes though. When he finally got up to his room he quickly stripped of his clothes and hopped in the shower. He ignored the Son of Poseidon bonus that popped up. After he got in he pulled up a box that had popped up while his mother was ranting.
'You have discovered a new skill!
Lying: Lvl 1 (10%)
Your ability to withhold and manipulate the truth.
10% Chance of lie working'
Percy facepalmed. Ten percent! Only Ten percent! 90% of his lies would fail. That was kind of sad to be honest.
Percy quickly finished his shower aware of his dwindling time until school. When he stepped out he decided to try something he said he would last night. Percy focused on the water and tried to will it to go back into the shower. Slowly the water began to flow off of his skin like a floating river slowly heading towards the drain. When it had all disipated he stopped and realized what he had just done. He had defied the laws of the universe.
'Ping'
'You have discovered a new skill!
Hydrokinesis: Lvl 1 (45%)
The ability to will water to do anything you want it to.
Cost: 50 MP/min'
Percy stepped out of the bathroom and got dressed, still elated by the magnitude of what he had done.
Percy walked into the kitchen with a silly grin on his face.
"Percy, why are you smiling? Did something happen?" Asked Sally Jackson as she wondered what could have happened to make her son so happy.
"Oh nothing."
'Lie Failed'
"Sure hon, whatever you say." She replied. She would let him have his secrets. "You need to get to school it starts in 20 minutes."
"Alright, bye mom, love you."
Percy walked out of the door with his backpack slung over his shoulder. He speed walked to school and got there with 7 minutes to spare. He walked past a couple of his school mates and muttered a quick good morning. He opened his bag and placed all of his books into his inventory although he made it look like he placed them in his locker. Then he headed to Mr. Manscat's room. He sat down and pulled out a notebook. He was going to be the best student at this school if it killed him.
Needless to say it almost did.
Percy was walking towards his next class when he heard Mr. Manscat call his name.
"Percy please stay behind after class."
Percy waited at his desk for Mr. Manscat to address him. When everyone had left the class he closed the door and locked it. Percy was instantly on guard. He pulled out a water bottle from his bag just in case.
"Ahh, fresh demigod. Haven't had any for a while."
Mr. Manscat turned around. His eyes were blood red and his face was slowly shifting. His eyes were condensing into one big eye. His hair was retracting into his scalp and he was getting larger.
Percy used observe on him.
'Mr. Manscat Teacher at P.R.A.T
Lvl 18
HP:1000
MP: 100
Mr. Manscat was always made fun of by the other Cyclops because his name sounded human. When this happened he would bash their heads in with his fists.
Kill to gain: 500 XP'
Percy gulped, "this thing has 1000 HP. How am I going to kill it?"
Percy decided it would be better to aim for the eye first so it would go blind. He uncapped his water bottle and poured a little on himself.
'Ping'
Son of Poseidon perk activated. 100% increase to HP regeneration, increased MP by 1000, and Adds 20 points to STR.
Percy quickly allocated 1 point to STR and 9 to DEX. He would need to dodge the Cyclops hits or it was over. His new stats were:
Percy Jackson Son of Poseidon
Level: 2 (20/150)
HP: 125/125
HP Regen: 6/min (6+100%=12) 12/min
MP: 300/300 (300+1000=1300) 1300/1300

DEX: 20 (201=21) 21
INT: 13 (13-1=12) 12
WIS: 4
LUC: 0
Stat Points: 0
Suddenly Mr. Manscat roared and charged at Percy. Percy nimbly avoided the attack and pushed him into the classroom wall. Percy ignored the ping and quickly used the water to form a spike and tried to send it through his head. Percy however wasn't used to his Hydrokinesis yet and only managed to stab his right arm. He tried to do it again but he wasn't quick enough.
The Cyclops picked himself up and charged again. Percy wasn't ready this time and was smashed into the opposite wall.
'HP: 75/125'
Percy groaned, that was almost half his health Two more and he'd be out.
Percy tried to think up a plan. Wait the Cyclops has only charged at me. If it continues to do that then I can form a water spike right where it's moving towards.
Percy got up and yelled, "Oy, Pea Brain." (I'm sorry the temptation was too great.)He threw a piece of a broken desk at the monster.
It turned around when the stick hit it. It grunted loudly and then roared. It started running at Percy Percy conjured 2 water spikes one at head level and one at chest level behind him. At the last second he jumped out of the way and thrust the water forwards. The Cyclops dissolved into golden dust as it fell to the floor. Leaving behind a book and 10 gold coins. He quickly stuffed everything into his inventory and ran to his next class. When he sat down he was bombarded by messages popping up all over.

AN: Here's chapter three, hope you guys enjoyed. Feel free to review. I can always use the help. Let me know if you see anything I should change or add to make the story more interesting. I'm kinda making this up as I go along, the only thing I'm sure of is that it will be a Percy/Artemis story. So feel free to suggest something to me if you feel it is needed.
