Ultimate Percy Jackson

Percy sighed, "yeah okay, I don't like you."

"Woof!"

"Percy is that you?" Sally Jackson walked in with a towel around her head wearing a fresh set of clothes.

"Hey mom," Percy waved to her as he held the wolf hybrid away from his body while he narrowed his eyes at the dog, "meet pee stain."

"What?"

"That's this one's new name, pee stain," Percy pointed at the dog in his hand who growled before trying, and failing to bite Percy's finger off.

"Yip yip yip yip!"

"Oh shut up Pee stain," Percy said grumbling. Just then;

Ping!

Do you really want to name your dog: Pee Stain?

YES/NO?

Percy sighe, he wasn't that cruel. he pressed no as his mother walked up to Percy and the dog before tacking him of Percy's hands, "be careful mom he's-"

The dog instead of yelping or peeing on Sally instead barked happily wagging his tail. Percy narrowed his eyes, "-he's extremely friendly."

"Oh how cute," Sally hugged the dog as she scratched behind his ears, "where did you get him?"

Lie Successful!

"I see, well isn't that thoughtful of your father," Sally said putting the dog down before going into the kitchen to make breakfast, "although Pee Stain doesn't really seem like a nice name Percy."

"Any ideas on a name?" Percy asked as he tried to touch the dog only for the little pup to snarl it;s teeth at Percy. 'Yeah okay he really doesn't like me.'

"How about….Leo," Sally said as she tossed the pup a piece of bacon she had just heated up.

Percy smiled, "isn't' that the name of your childhood dog?"

"Yup," Sally said with a smile as she scratched the pup's head, "what do think? You like that name?"

Ping!

Do you really want to name your dog: Leo?

YES/NO?

Congratulations! You got a new companion!

Percy raised an eyebrow before sighing, only he could get such a lame a.s.s companion. He closed the box and then looked at Leo who was still whole focused on his mom as she cooked some food for him. 'Well it could be worse. Imagine if I had gotten a snake or something.'

"So what's the plan Percy? It is still your birthday you know," Sally asked as she flipped a pancake.

"I...I don't really know. I feel like I should do something, but I don't really know what," Percy said as he took a piece of bacon and offered it to Leo, who promptly huffed at him turning his head in disgust.

"Hehe," Sally laughed, "guess he really doesn't like you. It's okay give it time Percy."

Percy formed and took a bite out of the bacon in his hand. 'There must be something I can do to make him like me…..ah ha!' Percy opened his status and pulled up one of his perks;

· Canidae Tamer- user of this perk can control members of the Canidae family with relative ease. This also includes magical beasts like werewolves and Hellhounds!

Percy smirked before turning to Leo, who shivered looking at Percy. "Leo, eat," Percy commanded offering the bacon to Leo. The pup snarled but it quickly ate the food offered leaving nothing behind.

Percy shook in rage, "I hate this dog," Leo looked up and smiled, "bark!"

After cleaning up the puke on his shoes Percy left the apartment giving Leo and his mom time to bond. He honestly didn't know what to do today, it was still his birthday and the +50 to his luck wasn't something that will come till next year. He needed something to do, but what?

Percy quickly found himself inside central park again quickly walking towards the lake where he and his dad had their adventure last night. He sat down on a bench overlooking the lake and smiled. Seeing water instantly made him feel better. He took a deep breath and let it out.

After spending a few minutes simply relaxing Percy opened his inventory and pulled out a level 2 skill disk along with a level 10 skill disk. He used the level 2 on his Observation skill;

Observe Lv-12 (0%)

By Observing a target one will get information about said object

-Max HP,MP, stats, info, their emotions, likes/dislikes and will give their opinion of you.

And then used the level 10 skill disk on Critical Strike;

Critical strike! Lv-23 (0%)

Chance of success- Luc+Dex

Percy smiled at this before reaching into his inventory and pulling out the skill book he got from yesterday's battle;

Ping!

You have obtained Spell book: Binding hands, do you wish to learn it?

YES/NO?

Percy pressed yes causing the book to vanish allowing the knowledge to flow into him. He quickly processed the information before his eyes shoot up in surprise. 'This...this is amazing!' Percy thought out just then;

Ping!

You have learnt the skill, Binding hands!

Binding hands, Lv-Max

Time limit- none.

Cost-1000 Mana

Percy read that thing, 'this is amazing. This has no time limit, and no limit on who I could bind! Meaning gods were up fro grabs! This was like my own magical chains of Hephaestus, and the cost of mana was extremely reasonable if not broken!'

Percy had wondered why he got only a spell book as a loot item from the dungeon even when having luck at 100. It seems this loot was more than meets the eye. Percy closed the box and quickly checked through his inventory again looking for something to do. Maybe an item to play around with or a- got it.

Percy pulled out the HNI;

HNI,

A device used by the children of Hermes and few other campers. It allows access to the H-Net which will give you access to the world without worry of monsters finding out.

The Hermes Network Interface was something Percy hadn't been using as of late. He didn't really pick up loot that was useless for him, like zombie bones or things like that, so he didn't really have much to sell. But with the amount of money he now had he decided it was time for some shopping.

Percy pulled out the piece of paper he alway kept along with the HNI and attached the device on top of the paper. The cylinder started to blink as it started booting up. The paper then became stiff as a board and the page turned black. It the turned on showing four apps, Search, Maps, Online Market and Iris Messaging.

Percy clicked on Online Market and quickly began browsing through the page. Percy clicked on 'enchanted clothes' and selected the first hoodie he saw. It was black and had a skull logo on it and under the description was written, 'Enchanted to protect from weather and sweat proof.' It seemed like some basic stuff and so it was pretty cheap, just 5 D.

Percy went back to the menu and searched for the most expensive piece of enchanted armor, and what he got was a surprise. It was not just one piece, it was a whole set.

The set consisted of a pair of gloves and shoes along with a shirt and a pair pants. Each would have the basic enchantment of protection from weather and sweat proof, but they also had more powerful stuff like;

They were flame and waterproof

The shirt was enchanted by Hephaestus to become as hard as steel when mana was poured into it.

The pants were flexible and enchanted to boost speed and agility.

The shoes were blessed by Hermes himself for speed and stealth and would not make a sound when sneaking up on someone

The gloves were designed to improve the user's strength and when mana is put in, the gloves transformed into gauntlets

Percy was drooling. The best part however wasn't the enchantments, it was the fact at all of this were customizable. He could make it into anything he wanted, anything. The price however put a stop to his good mood. The entire thing costed 100,000 D. That was a lot, even for Percy, it was time to move on. Percy eventually bought a pair of enchanted blue and black trainers for around 50 D;

Hephaestus brand shoes, Blue;

They are shoes made by a factory in greece by little gnomes who are grossly under pained. Enjoy them, you heartless monster.

Enchanted to be tear resistant and flame proof.

Durability-20/20

Percy was kind of put off by the description but he ignored it for the most part and put the shoes on, which surprisingly fitted like a sock. He threw away his old shoes and turned off the HNI. The demigod then trekked around the park testing out the new shoes.

As Percy walked around he looked at all the people there. They all looked so happy it kind of made him jealous. It was his birthday but he didn't really have anyone special to spend it with. Sure he had his mom and dad, but they didn't really count. The people in his life were great, no question about that. The demigods in camp would follow him anywhere and he would go to hell and back for them, which he did.

But despite all that, he never really had someone close….someone he could talk to and trust completely. Percy sighed, 'Fates if you three are listening to this, can you hook me up?' Percy shook his head, 'yeah right, like that's ever-'

Ping!

Warning! A person is falling right on top of you!

Percy blinked and looked up and sure enough a figure in a silver parka was falling down right on Percy. The demigod spread his arms out and grabbed the person and held the close. He then looked at the falling mystery and blinked, "Artemis?"

The red haired goddess was in her 12 year old form with her bow in one hand and quiver strapped on her back. She looked surprised seeing Percy, "Perseus? What are you doing here?"

"I live nearby, though of coming for a walk, what are you doing here?"

"I was tracking a Lamia, stupid bitch threw me off the bridge," Percy looked up and found a walkway right above him and something was on top of it running away. "Shit she's getting away!"

Percy let Artemis down, "do need some help?"

Artemis scoffed, "I'm the goddess of the hunt, I doubt I would need your help."

Percy nodded, "okay...but I'm still coming along."

"Why?"

"I'm bored."

"And if I refuse?"

"Then I'll use my ultimate trump card to convince you," Artemis raised an eyebrow while Percy smiled, "it's my birthday."

The goddess of the hunt chuckled, "fine Perseus, you win. Come, I do not wish to lose sight of her. Try to keep up," she turned and ran towards the tree line leaving a smirking Percy behind.

"Oh she did not just tell me to keep up," Percy activated his Speed demon perk and vanished leaving nothing behind but dust.

Artemis looked back and didn't see Percy there. She sighed, 'couldn't keep up, sad. Very well time to focus on-WHAT IN HADES?!' Artemis looked to her left and there looking like he was taking a casual walk in the park was PErcy. The demigod winked at the goddess before he sped up. Artemis narrowed her eyes, 'oh it is so on!'

The two ran faster and faster trying to out do each other. Just then the trees cleared out into a small clearing with trees stumps lying around. Percy jumped and took out Riptide. He landed on one of the tree stumps and looked ahead to the monster Artemis was tracking.

It was big, around 20 feet long. It's top half was of a n.a.k.e.d beautiful blue haired woman with blue eyes and the bottom half was off a blue snake with a cross check pattern on it ;

Percy smiled, "this is going to be easy."

"I did not think Hubris was a trait you possessed Perseus," Artemis appeared next to him drawing her arrow taking aim.

"It's not hanburys if it's just a statement of talent," Percy replied.

"Artemiss," the Lamis hissed out, "the whore of the goddess!"

Percy grimaced, "she's not very nice is she."

Artemis ignored Percy and focused only on the Lamia,"give up monster. You can not run away from me, death is all that remains. But tell me where Kronos' force are and I will spare your life."

The Lamia spat on the ground and hissed, "I would rather die than make a deal with the likeness of you!"

Percy grimaced, "you should have not done that." Artemis let loose and arrow that the Lamia just managed to avoid with nothing but a scratch on her check. Percy dashed forward and swung Riptide down. The Lamia put both hands up and made a shield blocking the strike mid swing.

Percy grunted before he smirked and pushed his mana into the Lamia's shadow forming spikes that impaled her snake tail.

"ARGH!" The Lamia shouted as she put down the shield allowing Artemis to shoot an arrow into her shoulder pinning the monster to a nearby tree.

"You want to do the honours?" Percy asked stepping away from the monster. After this was her hunt and he wasn't a kill stealer like his dad.

"Not yet," Artemis said walking to the monster, "this is your last chance Lamia. tell me what I want to know and I will let you-"

"-ARKUM!" The lamia shouted sending blast of green energy right at the goddess.

"Artemis!" Percy yelled out as he saw the goddess fly across the clearing. He bow on the other hand flew right into the Lamia's hand who grabbed it with her tail. Percy glared at the monster as he put one hand up, "bind!"

Blue ribbons of mana flew out of Percy's hands grabbing the Lamia and tying themselves around her. The monster struggled but couldn't break free, it then snapped it's fingers disappearing in a flash of bright light.

Percy cursed but quickly moved and checked up on the downed goddess who was grunting in pain. "Are you okay Artemis?" Percy asked kneeling next to the goddess helping her up.

"I will be fine Perseus," Artemis slowly got up with Percy 's help and shook her head clear, "where is the Lamia?"

"She teleported away" Percy said with a sigh, "I did manage to bind her in one of my spells however, she won't be able to escape anytime soon."

"How good is this spell of yours?"

"Good enough, she also got hold of your bow."

Artemis clicked her teeth, "that bitch! Sigh fine, first things first we need to get my bow back."

Ping!

Quest Alert!

Failure,

Artemis will skin you, slowly

YES/NO?

Percy looked stunned at the quest before pressing yes, "right…..and how do we do that?"

"The Lamia isn't powerful enough to teleport far, she is probably still here somewhere. We just need to find her."

"Right so we need to find a 20 foot long snake who is right now tied up somewhere in Central park."

"I realise this will be difficult and a long process, if you wish you may leave."

"Neah, like I said I got nothing but time. And besides if I just let you wander around Central Park chances are you might kill someone."

Artemis raised an eyebrow, "what are you implying boy?"

Percy gulped, "I-I just meant that you might find something that would irritate you and in that process you might just want to do something about that and in that doing something might involve killing something. Which right now seems to be me. Please don't kill me."

Artemis smiled, "relax Perseus I am not going to kill you," Percy sighed in relief. But just then Artemis smile turned into a grin, the evil kind, "I'm just going to turn you into a deer."

Percy's eyes shot up, "wait!" Artemis snapped her fingers and;

Ping!

Artemis's will had concurred yours resulting in a forced transformation!

Near the north entrance of the Park a 12 year old girl in silver walked along side a brown deer with big red horns. She smiled while the deer looked like it was growing. The two got many looks as they walked around the park, but people didn't really look to much into this, after all this was New York, shit like this was just a Monday for them.

"I hate you," Percy thought of causing Artemis to smile brighter.

"Oh shut up. You look great as a deer. You have the shiniest coat I have ever seen on a deer, and those horns of your look sharper than steel. This form really does suit you."

"You really think so? Well my horns do look kind of badass and I do-HEY! Stop doing that!"

"Doing what?!"

"Distracting me!"

"Well I'm just speaking my mind. And besides I had to turn you into a deer."

"Oh really? And why is that?"

"Well I am Artemis, I can't be seen with a guy walking around Central Park like we were on some kind of date."

"First of all, who the hell would see us that something like that would even matter. And second off all why do you think this is a date?"

"This is not a date!"

"I know I never said it was, you're the one who brought it up!"

"I did not!"

"Yeah you did! You said, 'I can't be seen with a guy walking around like we were on some kind of date', see!"

"Oh you are really testing my patience here Perseus."

"Oh what are you going to do? Tell your daddy on me?"

Artemis's eyes twitched on the mention of Zeus, "no, I'll turn you into a girl."

The deer stopped in it's track and looked at Artemis, "you can't do that."

"Oh I most certainly can, and I have. So what do you say Percy?"

The deer looked at Artemis before bowing his head in defeat, "I'll be good."

Artemis grinned, "you better. Now use your sense of smell and find my bow."

Percy blinked, "what? How do I do that?"

Artemis sighed, "you are right now in the form of a Whitetail deer, they are mostly known for their amazing scents of smell and tracking abilities. So you know….smell and track."

"You have no idea how deers actually track do you?"

"Of course I do!" Artemis crossed her arms looking away from Percy, "I just…..don't know how to teach one to smell. It just comes naturally to most. You don't ask a sea how it moves do you? Or how a demigod know ancient greek naturally? Just, you know, do, and stop asking stupid questions."

Percy sighed, "why do I get the weird ones."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" Percy turned away from Artemis and looked around the park. He stopped moving and took a deep breath taking in various scents. Artemis strangle smelt like vanilla and mint mixed together, so her bow should smell the same.

Percy let the scents flow through him and slowly he started to see the park though his nose. He could smell everyone and everything. The man with heavy cologne sitting to their right with his wife who smelled of his cologne and mangos. The dog standing few feet in front of him smelt like….well a dog. And just as he started to process all this information something stuck out.

Percy's eyes shot open, "this way." The deer then charged ahead using a little bit of his Speed demon perk to run faster.

"See i knew you could do it!" Artemis said as she ran right next to the deer. Soon the two came the a fountain surrounded by several people, "where is she Percy?"

Percy however didn't answer and instead ran right to an ice cream salesman and stood in front of the man. The ice cream man looked alarmed that a deer was right now in front of him but Percy didn't care as he started to sniff the ice cream box the man pushed around.

"Is she in there?" Artemis asked reaching for her daggers.

"I want it," Percy said pointing to the ice cream box, "please?"

Artemis blinked, "you want...ice cream?"

Percy nodded, "yup. The money I smelt the ice cream I haven't been able to think or focus on anything else."

"Perseus you can't-" Artemis started but immediately stopped as Percy slowly started to look at the goddess with pleading eyes, "-I know what you're doing Percus and it will not-" Percy's eyes slowly started to gloss over as tears started to take over the corners, "-I have loved thousands of years and I will not-" slowly a tear rolled down his check and Artemis knew she lost.

Ping!

By making a desperate looking face you have gained a new skill!

Success rate- (Luc)% chance of success

Percy smiled as he licked a bowl of blueberry ice cream with his deer tongue. It felt strange eating with a different tongue but Percy quickly got used to it. Artemis sat on a bench to his side eating a vanilla flavored ice cream bar.

"After this can we please go back to searching for my symbol of power?" Artemis asked l.i.c.k.i.n.g her cold treat.

"Sure we can," Percy said looking at her, "and why is it that most gods lose their symbols of power so easily? Like don't you guys-" Percy's ramblings stopped midway as he simply stared mouth open at Artemis who was l.i.c.k.i.n.g split ice cream off her fingers. The white sticky substance rolled between her fingers coating them fully. Her tongue licked the cream clean off before she s.u.c.k.e.d the ice cream on the stick over and over again.

"What's wrong Percy?" Artemis asked raising an eyebrow.

"N-Nothing!" Percy turned around and quickly began to finish his ice cream. He was so glad he was not human right now, otherwise she would notice the huge blush he had on his face right now. He finished his ice cream and threw the cup away into trash. "Let's go find your bow."

The two began their search again with Percy's nose taking the lead. But the image of Artemis l.i.c.k.i.n.g ice cream off her hands kept distracting his concentration. Gamer's mind then kicked in and allowed him to focus on the task at hand but slowly he got bored.

"So why are you here all alone?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like I heard from several campers you have like a team of all female Hunters that you hunt with. So I was just wondering why they aren't here with you."

"I gave them some time off, we recently have been trying to track the titans and the Gergosa, with no luck."

"The Gergosa? Why them? Sure the Titan's are like...titans, but why Gergosa?"

"Because those things once almost wiped out the entire human race Perseus. And the fact they are now alive and popping up all over the place is cause for concern. I understand that you have faced them before, is that true?"

"Yeah. My friends and I were on a quest to track Luke's movement inside Abyss. We thought he had him when he sprung his trap on us. I managed to take one down that tried to bite my arm off, and my friends took down another."

"Then you understand why we need to get this Lamia and fast, she has information on the traitor Luke and his companions, we get to talk we get the first leg up in this war."

Percy nodded and then quickly began his work again. His nose just then picked up something, something that smelt like wet rocks and scales. He looked up, "I think I got her scent." He then took them to a secluded part of the park and soon they came upon Lamia still tied up with Artemis's bow in her hands.

"Great we found her, can you please transform me back now?" Percy asked. Artemis transformed Percy back who then quickly checked to make sure everything was back to where it was, after all the last time she transformed him back she forgot about his clothes.

Artemis kneeled down in front of the Lamia and narrowed her eyes, "where is Luke?"

"I don't know who it issss you speak of, whore of Olympussss!"

"You should not have said that," Percy focused on his mana around the Lamia and made her bounds tighter squeezing the monster.

"ARGH!" The monster roared in pain.

"If you want him to stop than answer my question, or else," Artemis said as she snatched her bow from the Lamia's grasp before aiming an arrow right next to the monster's throat, "now tell me all you know."

Quest Completed!

The monster narrowed her eyes, "he and Argo are sssssearching for ssssssssomething."

"What?"

"A poisssson, ssssssomehting ssssstrong."

"Why?"

"I do not know. All I know issss that, and the fact that they are looking for a way to gain more soilderssssss."

Artemis started into the monster's eyes before nodding, "okay then," Artemis then stood up and drew back her arrow.

The Lamia's eyes widened in fear, "wait! You sssssaid you would spare me if I told you all I know!"

"I never said that, I just said I won't prolong your suffering," Artemis let the arrow fly causing the monster to explode in an explosion of dust leaving behind some drachma, a leather skin pouch and a fang;

Lamia's fang

Consuming this will cure a person of any snake venom.

Percy picked up the money and purse and gave them to Artemis, "here I don't really need these."

The goddess looked at them strangely before accepting them, "thank you, this is very good leather."

Percy nodded as he put the fnag away in his inventory when Artemis was not looking.

"Those were very….peculiar spoils of war. I have never seen someone get a bag before."

Percy rubbed his neck, "yeah I know, I'm a strange one. Anyway...what now?"

"Now I leave, you have assisted me greatly today Percus and for that I will always be grateful but now I must-"

Groan!

The sound came from artemis's stomach, the goddess was now holding her stomach in guilt. Percy smiled, "guess now it's time for lunch."

"That is kind Perseus but I must-"

Groan!

"Yeah, you're hungry," Percy said with a smile, "come on, my treat."

The goddess looked as if she wanted to argue but Percy didn't really let her argue. He grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the Park.

"Where exactly are you taking me?" Artemis asked as they exited the park walking into the city.

"I have no idea," Percy said with a smile, "what are you hungry for?"

"This was your idea, so you decided."

"Hm...how about," Percy then turned a corner and there stuck right between to huge building was a small pizzeria what smelt amazing. Percy took a deep breath and let it out, "you up from some pizza?"

Artemis sighed, "sure, why not." They ordered several slices of pizza, vegetarian for Artemis and a meat lovers delight for Percy. They took their order to go as they munched on their lunch while taking a walk around Central Park once more.

"I forget how beautiful human civilization can be sometimes," Artemis said looking at the birds in the trees and the dogs being walked around.

"Yeah I know what you mean."

"You do?"

"Well so far the last four months has been kind of crazy. I found out I was a demigod, saved my mom from the Underworld, battled monsters that are literally considered legends and I even fought an Olympian, twice!"

"Yes well I don't really consider our meeting a proper fight, it was more of me hitting you and you running away."

"Well excuse me for not wanting to get my a.s.s handed to me."

"Strange you seemed far more open to fight Ares than me, any reason why?"

Percy shrugged, "it's not because you're a woman if that's what you're thinking. I didn't really want to fight you, and I was kind of in a hurry back then, you know with my friends body decomposing every second I wasted and all. Also I didn't really like Ares so I took great p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in fighting him."

"What did you do to him? every time we asked he shuts down and Poseidon and Zeus snicker."

Percy shuckled, "yeah dad would find it funny, but why Zeus? After all I did shove the Master Bolt up Ares's behind. Gods I hope he washed that thing before he used it." Just then the sky rumbled, "guess I'm supposed to take that as a yes then."

Artemis stood shocked, "wait…. you shoved the Master Bolt up Ares's ass?"

Percy nodded, "yup. And then I shoot one right up Main street."

"You fired the Master bolt, the most powerful weapon in greek Mythology, up Ares's ass?" Percy nodded causing Artemis to burst into laughter, "no wonder he still uses that hemorrhoid pillow!"

"Wait he still used that?!" Percy asked surprised.

"Of course he does! You shoot a lightning bolt up his ass! Even for a god that's a little too much!"

Percy laughed with Artemis as they slowly reached the lake Percy and Poseidon fought on yesterday. They sat down on the same bench Percy sat on before and watched the ducks swim across the water.

"You know something ,Perseus you are a decent man," Artemis said breaking the silence.

"Why thanks you coming from you that means a lot," Percy said sarcastically.

"I am serious Perseus, you impressed me before with your loyalty to your friends, something which is rare."

"No, it's not."

"Why do you think so?"

"Why do you think I was loyal to them?"

"Because they were your friends."

Percy nodded, "yeah, and more than that they were my family, or the closest thing I had to one. And I wasn't they only on there who was loyal to them, they were also loyal to me."

"That may be true Percy, but only you were willing to go to the Underworld to bring them back, do you really think they would do the same for you?"

"Yes, I do."

Artemis smiled, "not a moment's hesitation, good, that is good."

Silence won again as the two simply enjoyed the sight and the weather. The sun was shining, lucky not to harshly to cause a heat stroke but just warm enough to make everyone brozy with sleep. "So what's your deal?" Percy asked breaking the silence again.

"What do you mean?"

"well it's just that in camp everyone goes on and one about how much you hate men and how I was lucky you didn't get me, but...well… we just spent the after together and you didn't really seem all that hateful."

Artemis chuckled, "oh don't be ridiculous. I don't blindly hate every man I see, I would have to certifiably insane if that was the case."

"You hated me when we first meet."

"You were my mission and usually I would be sent to capture very bad men"

"Then why did you turn me into a deer? The first time I mean."

"You pissed me off, so forgive me for losing my temper and transforming you into a deer okay?" Artemis snapped crossing her arms.

"It's I forgive you," Percy shot back angering the goddess.

"Cheeky brat!" Artemis said punching Percy in the shoulder.

"Wow that hurts!" Percy grabbed his shoulder rolling off the bench in pain, "damn that godly strength!"

Artemis chuckled, "oh get up. I expect that man who fought one on one with Hyperion and survived to tell the tale be able to take a few hits now and then."

Percy groand as he got back on his seat, "it still hurts."

"You want me to kiss it and make you feel better?"

Percy nodded rolling his sleeve, "yes please," he said smugly daring her to do it. Artemis narrowed her eyes before turning away causing Percy to grin.

They stayed silent for some time before Percy asked, "so you're not a man hatter, so why the rumors?"

"It was what I did in the past mostly," Artemis said looking at the sun though the leave on the tree branch above them, "during ancient greece woman were treated….poorly."

Percy nodded, "if even half of what I read is true that's an understatement."

Artemis nodded as well, "so you understand what I mean. Back then women were nothing more than property to be used or traded. Married women were treated worse than trash, and if a man cheats on a woman it is her fault for not satisfying him," Artemis's face turned cold as she clenched her arms in anger.

"So you punished those who mistreated women."

Artemis nodded, "correct. I protected those who couldn't protect themselves. Soon it became a legend that if you mistreat a woman I would come to punish those responsible."

"So….sort of like a greek boogeyman that targeted assholes and protected women?"

Artemis's cold features melted away as she laughed out, "haha, yes well I suppose you are right Perseus."

Percy chuckled, "so you aren't much of a man hater than you are the boogy man huh?" Artemis's laugh grew louder, something which made Percy happy to hear, after all it sounded so beautiful even a tone deaf man could appreciate it. "So...you know in ancient greek legends how whenever a mortal assists a god in a task they get a reward right?"

Artemis blinked, before frowning and sighing, "all right what do you want?" 'You men are all the same, always wanting something or the other. Stupid boy'

"I want you to call me Percy," the demigod said surprising the goddess.

"What?"

"I want you to call me Percy, none of that Perseus bull shit."

Artemis was understandable surprised at the request. "Is that all? You know you can ask for a lot more right?"

Percy waved her off, "neah you have nothing I want. Just call me Percy, for love of the gods please call me Percy. Perseus makes me feel so old!"

Artemis smiled, "alright then, Percy." The demigod smiled at the goddess as the two slowly feel silent. The warm wind blew across their face as the sun warmed them both up. Their lunch made them feel sleepy as slowly they both drifted asleep. Percy didn't need sleep but he still could fall asleep and right now that's all he wanted to do.

"Percy?" Percy heard his mom call him startling him awake. Percy looked around and saw Artemis lifting her head off his shoulders rubbing her eyes. One of her hands were interlocked with his and Percy immediately pulled away before she realised what happened. He looked up and saw his mom there carrying Leo with one hand.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Percy asked as he and Artemis stood up. The Sky was dark now, they must have been asleep for hours.

"Leo wanted to go for a walk so I took him out, and you weren't home yet so I got worried," Sally said as she turned to Artemis with a smile and a bow, "Lady Artemis."

"How did you know it was me?" Artemis asked surprised.

"You have a bow and you are wearing silver," Sally said with a smile.

"Right….so you are Poseidon's lover, Percy's mother," Artemis said nodding, "you have raised a very responsible son madam, he is someone worth being friends with, and that's coming from me so you know I mean it."

Sally chuckled, "well I tried my best but Percy got his heart from his father."

"Bark!" Leo barked drawing all attention to him instead.

"Yo Leo," Percy said as he tried to scratch behind the dog's ear, hopeful he hated him a little less now.

"Bark!" Leo then tried to bite Percy's fingers off, guess it's going to take a little longer.

"Is that your dog?" Artemis asked as she reached out to touch him.

"Yeah but be careful he-" Percy's words died in his mouth as Leo allowed Artemis to pet him, he ever looked like he was bloody smiling. "Guess it's just me he hates."

Sally chuckled, "give it time love I'm sure he will come around."

Percy sighed. Artemis stopped scratching Leo, which gained a m.o.a.n of sadness from the dog, "alright I have wasted enough time here," she turned to Leo giving the dog a bright smile, "bye Leo!"

"Woof!"

She smiled at Sally, "bye madam," and then turned to Percy who smiled at her, "see you...Percy." She then vanished in a flash of light, Percy and Sally had enough time to close their while Leo simply looked away.

Percy then walked back home with his mom. Sally smiled, "so…..Percy huh?"

"Not. One. Word"

"I don't need words," Sally said as she pulled out her phone with her free hand displaying a picture on screen, "all I need is this."

Percy played as on the phone was a picture of Artemis and him, with the goddess sleeping on Percy's shoulder. They looked so peaceful with their hands interlocked together, if a stranger saw this they would think this was a picture of a couple.

"Get rid of that right now!" Percy yelled trying to grab the phone only for Leo to bit into his arm, "ouch!"

"Oh my little boy is growing up so fast, seducing v.i.r.g.i.n goddess, next thing I know I'll be a grandmother!"

"Mom!"

"What? She is the goddess of childbirth after all."

They argued for a long time. All through summer actually. In the end Sally didn't delete the photo instead hiding somewhere Percy would never find it…..what? You want me to tell you where? Hell even I don't know where she put the thing!

Percy let his mom take care of Leo, mostly because he didn't want to put up with the dog, but also to serve as protection for him mom. Leo would probably grow up pretty strong, and since he basically treated Percy's mother like a goddess it would be the best bodyguard for her while Percy was away.

He did however managed to train him a little. The 'Canidae Trainer' perk allowed him to control and understand Leo to a certain degree. He couldn't communicate back with words, but he could send Leo commands mentally and send positive, or negative emotions over. The two still hated each other, but they came to a neutral position, Percy didn't mess with Leo and the half hellhound wouldn't mess with him, or pee on everything he owned.

Percy eventually went back to camp and quickly began training his friends again. He gained another level before the summer was over and several of his skills had leveled up as well;

Percy Jackson

It was very useful, Percy tended to use the perk in short burst. Just before he landed a hit he would activate this and deactivate it after the attack. That along with his Earthquake style attacks resulted in a devastating hand to hand combat provise.

He had also trained and improved several of his skills;

At the end of camp Percy had gotten his camp necklace on which were two beads, one was a green trident showing his parentage and the other was a red sword. When Percy asked Annabeth what it meant she told him it was a sort of thank you gift from all the campers. A symbol of him going to the Underworld to bring half of them back from the dead. Needless to say Percy wore it with pride.

At the end of summer Percy went back to Yancy academy for the seventh grade. In all honesty he was glad to be doing something so….normal again. The fact that his only job nowadays was studying and not going into the Underworld and fighting monsters was relaxing, he could have done without all the homework though.

However this time when school started Percy realised something, he understood every single thing in the book. EVERYTHING! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S F.U.C.K.I.N.G LIKE?!

All his life he had been called an idiot, useless. His fifth grade teacher told him he wouldn't amount to anything and for a time he believed the bitch. But now with his Int at 34 Percy realised right now he was the smartest person in class, and everyone knew it.

During the first set of exams Percy didn't just pass, he dominated. The highest scorer in the class used to be Han, the guy who taught Percy about the basics of video games, at around 80% or something. Percy got 100%, in every single thing.

the teacher of course thought he was teaching, so they made him take another test. He got 100% in that as well. It was honestly like a dream. The school even called his mom over and told her about how, 'they had discovered a genius' in Percy and how 'she should make him live up to his full potential.'

Sally did nothing but smile, she was proud of Percy, and that made Percy happier than ever. That was the whole reason he wanted to use the gamer ability for. At the end of the meeting Sally asked Percy what he wanted to do, and the demigod, not wanting to disappoint his mother, agreed to skip ahead.

Eighth grade was strange to say the least for Percy. Most of the boys were looking at the girls all the time, and most of the girls were so wholly focused on their own looks they kind of reminded Percy of the Aphrodite kids. He kind of felt alienated at first but eventually they accepted him into their group and the demigod got along great with the older kids.

And so the year went on. Percy gained two points in Int by Christmas and also a few peculiar new skills;

Scrince!, Lv-X

A branch of knowledge that deals with the physical world.

Physics- Lv- 1- Basic concepts of physical science.

Chemistry- Lv-1- Basic concepts of chemical science.

Botany- Lv- 1- Basic concepts of science dealing with flora.

Zoology- Lv- 1- Basic concepts of science dealing with fauna.

Math!, Lv-X

A branch of knowledge that deals with numbers.

Algebra- Lv- 1- A branch of math where symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities.

Geometry- Lv- 1- A branch of Math dealing with lines and structures and surfaces

Calculus- Lv- 1- A branch of Math that deals with Integrals and differential equations

Applied math- Lv- 1- Math the can be used in the real world.

Percy didn't know what these were at first, but after a little research and questioning Han a lot he found out this was basically the starting of a knowledge tree. It would be commonly used in games in regard to skills, unlocking new ones after one masters an old skill. It seems Percy got the same deal, except it was for his studies and not his usual skills.

Over the year Percy learnt a lot of things. He basically read through half of his school's library making his english skill;

Language: Modern English, Lv-26 (90%)

Due to you being a demigod you have Dyslexia, but with hard work you have overcome your disabilities and you're reading is now near grade level-College+

+70% reading speed

And giving him seven more points in Int;

INT-43

At with all that knowledge Percy started a side business in the school, he started touring. He didn't really charge money, he just did it to make more friends. Nancy was one of the few people he taught first and soon more came from both the eighth and seventh grade. Soon he had leveled up his teaching skills;

Teaching, Lv-25

You impart on your student a piece of what you know.

(Wis+Int)% how much the student understands

+60% if their Int is lower than yours.

He also took a surprising interest into zoology, especially marine zoology causing it to become a sub skill;

Zoology- Lv- 2- Basic concepts of science dealing with fauna.

· Marine Zoology- Lv-3- Basic concepts of science dealing with marine creatures.

Percy also learnt other things over the years time. And he learnt it from his servants. The idea of learning from his servants was an idea he got from something Annabeth said sometime ago when they were in a cab going to the trap Luke set up for them. She mentioned how cool it would be if Alecto could be used to teach others all she knew.

And so Percy did just that. He learnt all he could from Alecto and Marchosias and between the two he learnt a lot. From Alecto he learn how to form runes made out of his blood. They basically allowed him to do a lot of different things from animating a statue to giving himself a temporary +5 STR stat boost. He had to draw most of the runes using his own blood and that cost him HP;

Runes, Lv-12 (21%)

Symbols used to bend reality depending on what the user wishes.

Library of rune formulas;

Animation spell- Animate an object. Cost- 20 HP+20MP per feet of object's surface.

Temporary boost- Boost a stat for 1 minute. Cost- 10 HP+300 MP

Protection- Make an item protected from all harm, Defence offered- +1000HP. Cost- 1000HP

Heal- Heal a person, Restoration = Amount of HP used. Cost- X HP+200 MP

Summon Water- Summon large quantities of water. Cost- 10 HP+100 MP per liter

He had practised the runes day in and day out. He still had a lot to learn and even his gamer skills wasn't helping in increasing the time it took for him to learn it all. Alecto once mentioned it took years for some to even know how to do a handful of runes, the fact Percy knew 5 already was nothing short of amazing.

From Marchosias he had learnt demon spells. They were more like curses than spells and by the time Percy learnt the first one he was shit scared of what he could now do;

Demon Spells, Lv-9 (42%)

Spells made in the depths of hell.

Library of Demon spells;

Revenge of the Dead curse- Causes the victim to be tormented by souls of the dead, either those he loved of those he hates. Cost- 1000 MP + 1 Human soul

Bad Luck curse- Destroys all luck a victim has for a d.e.s.i.r.ed period of time. Cost - 750MP per hour.

Maggot Infestation curse- Wherever the curse hits will soon be infested with maggots. Cost 300MP

Mind Destruction curse- Destroys a victim's psyche. Cost- 1 Human soul.

And these were the really friendly ones. Needless to say they were not Percy's all time favorite skill. The curse that needed human souls were something he avoided on principle, in fact the only reason he even learnt them was because Marchosias insisted that he needed to, somethin bout a right of passage or something. In the end the only spell he was really good at was the bad luck curse which he used often on people who pissed him off.

But thankfully his year at school wasn't always all studies and no play. Over the year he had gained a sort of name for himself, 'The Nephilim,' which basically meant people called him a half-angel and half-demon.

This was because of the two different ways people thought of him. Usually he acted like an angel from heaven, kind to teachers, helpful to fellow classmates and all around nice guy, but piss him off….

One time the P.E. teacher picked on a fat kid in Percy's class and called him names basically scaring the boy for life. Percy didn't like that. He snuck into the teachers room that night and stole every single pair of u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r the man had and burnt them all. He then replaced the u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r with ones that was filled with itching powder and for weeks the teacher didn't know why his privates kept itching.

But Percy wasn't done there, not by a long shot. He also burnt the man's Playboy collection and covered his sheets with poop he got from Leo. And to finish it all off he snuck into his room again and shaved his head clean.

The teacher quit the next day.

And so the rumours began, piss Percy Jackson off and you will see hell. But that teacher wasn't the only person Percy targeted. There was this 9th grader that tried to bully Percy, tried being the key word. After kicking his a.s.s publicly Percy then threw him into the school's bio dump. The bully smelt like degrading plants for days.

At the end of the academic year Percy found himself in his dorm room with his roommate, Chad. Chad was oriental looking and loved anime, almost to the point of obsession. Along the year Percy was forced to watch several shows that the guy likes and even though they were strange at first h grew to like them.

"So you going to the fair?" Chad asked looking up from his manga.

"Yeah, Nancy invited me," Percy responded as he packed away the last of his clothes inside his suitcase.

"Ohh Nancy huh," Chad asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"Shut up," Percy said throwing a pillow at the boy who laughed it off.

"You two should just kiss and get it over with. All that tension is going to-"

"There is no tension thank you very much!" Percy yelled as his face started to heat up, "we are just good friends!"

"Sure man, whatever you say," Chad said waving Percy off.

The demigod scuffed and walked out of their room, "wear a c.o.n.d.o.m!" Chad shouted behind as Percy slammed the door shut. Percy sighed, Chad was kind of right in that regard though. No not the c.o.n.d.o.m part, the tension part.

Last year Percy found out Nancy liked him through his Observation skills and that was why he became friends with the girl. But back then he thought she liked him as a friend, but only recently he figured out how she really thought about him. She didn't just like him, she liked him.

Over the year Percy had to pretend he didn't know she liked him in that way. It got super awkward super fast because what exactly was he supposed to do? 'Oh hey Nancy, look I know you have a crush on me but like I'm totally not interested.'

Nancy was sweet and all, and very very cute, but she was mortal, and if Percy started dating her then he would have to explain about him being a demigod and that was another whole can of worms he didn't want to deal with right now.

So he continued to just treat her as a friend. He made sure they were never alone by always inviting someone else to join them in conversations or tutoring classes. He felt like an idiot really, a super cute girl liked him and he was doing his best to friendzone her. Stupid.

Percy walked out of Yancy academy and towards the town next to the school. Inside the small quiet town was a huge carnival set up right next to ocean, and that was where Percy agreed to meet Nancy.

He quickly walked to the carnival and walked in, moving towards the Big Wheel where they agreed to meet. The Carnival was filled with giant machines and games with bright lights set up all over the place. But Percy didn't really care for all of that. He ignored them all and kept moving forward until he reached the Big Wheel.

Nancy wasn't all that hard to find she wore a red skirt and a pink tank top with black heels. Her hair was straightened with freckles visible, but they didn't do anything to reduce her beauty, if anything they enhanced it. She looked at Percy and smiled and the son of Poseidon knew he was way out of his comfort zone right now.

"Right on time Percy," Nancy said with a smile.

"I try," Percy shrugged before looking at the Big Wheel, "you want to go on that first?"

Nancy shock her head, "no,we'll do that later. Right now I'm really hungry."

"Food it is," Percy smiled as he lead her to the food court he passed by. As they walked Nancy slowly came closer to Percy, close enough that the son of Poseidon could feel her body giving off heat. She then quickly grabbed Percy's arm and locked it in place making it impossible for him to escape.

'God damn my arm hurts!' Percy thought to himself as he took her to the food court, 'I have literally had a monster bite into it and even then it didn't hurt this bad!' Sure okay he was exaggerating by Nancy still had a very strong grip on him.

They reached the food court and got a couple of slices of pizza, 1 for Nancy and 3 for Percy. What? He was a growing boy. The two walked around the Carnival eating their food and simply enjoying the sights around them. Percy finished his slices first and even helped NAncy finish the rest of her food, "so where to first?"

Nancy smirked, "that," she pointed to a giant Cranium Shaker. You know that thing where two people are put into a small steel cage that is then used like a bloody sling shoot spinning so fast up is down and right is left? Yeah that thing.

Percy gulped, "s-sure."

Nancy smirked, "you scared?"

"N-no! It's just, that thing looks old," Percy pointed to the rusted parts of the machine, "we could just break off and fly across the sky."

Nancy smirked, "it's okay. I don't think god would be that cruel."

"Well depends on which god," PErcy muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing, let's just get this over with," Percy sulked the whole way there, something which Nancy found adorable. The line for the Cranium shaker was short, something that pissed Percy off even more. Eventually it was their turn. The small metal carriage they were put into was rusted, badly. Percy was shit scared, he really didn't want this thing to break off.

He used blood control and made the blood inside his right index finger come out by cutting himself from the inside. He made the blood flow out to the surface of the carriage and created the Protection rune on the surface of the carriage using 1000 MP. He then used the moisture in the air to form a water bubble that healed his cut before turning to smile at Nancy.

"You look better," she mentioned.

"Yeah I just figured it was time to face my biggest fears in life."

"Being tossed around in a small metal cage?"

"No being stuck in a small metal cage with a beautiful girl," Percy spoke before he realised what he said. 'Shit! Why did I do that?! I am trying to make her not like me not call her beautiful!'

Nancy on the other hand blushed and didn't say anything. The ride then started, Percy's carriage lifted itself up into the air and slowly started to spin itself head over heels. It wasn't bad at first, but then the carriage started to move around the main mast spinning faster and faster. It spun to the left before coming to a jerking stop, which flipped the carriage, and then spun the the left. The thing basically treated them like a pair of nunchucks.

Percy's head started to spin, "GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY THING!" Nancy however threw her hands up into the air and yelled out in joy. The ride lasted for a few minutes but from Percy it was a life time.

When they got off Percy fell to his knees and panted. His food threatened to come out but somehow Percy held true;

Ping!

You now have motion sickness! Enjoy!

Percy grumbled as he pushed the box away getting on his feet. "Are you okay?" Nancy asked standing next to him.

"Water," Percy muttered as they walked to the canteen to get a glass of water. Percy downed the whole thing in one go and instantly he felt better.

"You shouldn't have eaten so much pizza," Nancy said with a smirk.

"You shouldn't have insisted on riding that death machine!"

"Oh stop whining. Okay you know what you can choses the next ride."

Percy smiled, "oh you are going to regret that."

For the next hour the two pulled the each other from one ride to the next. Eventually they found themselves sitting inside a cart on the Big Wheel. Percy smiled as he saw the sun set across the sea. Nancy sat close to Percy cuddling up next to him shivering.

"You cold?" Percy asked her.

"Yeah, I knew I should have worn a jacket," Nancy muttered. Percy smiled as he took off his leather jacket offering it to the girl.

"Here, I'm good," Percy said with a smile.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, now take it before I change my mind."

Nancy smiled and put on the offered jacket. She blinked, "wow, this is warm. What's this made out of?"

'A demon from hell,' Percy thought, "not sure, just leather I think."

Lie Successful!

Ping!

Due to constant use a skill has leveled up!

Lying, Lv-14 (20%)

This is your ability to lie to people, the higher the level the better the lie and less chance of discovery!

70% chance of success, less based on how extreme the lie is.

Percy pushed the notification aside as he and Nancy sat in silence. "Today was fun," Nancy said first.

"Yeah, thanks for inviting me."

"Well who else was I going to call?"

"I don't know...Jena?"

"Jena is great and but...well you were my first friend here Percy. You helped me out a lot, who I was a year ago is so much different from who I am now. My parents ignore me less, my sister is less of a bitch to me and for the first time ever…..I feel happy as me. And that's all thanks to you Percy," Nancy turned to Percy who blushed.

He felt himself heat up from the way she looked at him, with eyes filled with want and happiness. "I can't really take all the credit Nancy you-"

"-Percy."

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Percy looked at the girl as she slowly leaned closer. Percy's brain screamed at him to move, to stop her. He knew he couldn't ever have a proper relationship with her, even trying would result in nothing but drama. He started to panic but he couldn't bring himself to look away from Nancy's eyes. Suddenly blue turned to silver as another girl appeared in the place of Nancy.

'Artemis?' Percy though as he tried to move away from the girl. He didn't understand why he was thinking of Artemis, he didn't get it, however Nancy didn't let up. She moved forward until their faces were inches apart and slowly she closed the distance. Percy was holding his breath when-

GROAN!

Percy snapped his eyes open as he felt the entire Big Wheel shake. Nancy stopped as well and the two turned to where the noise originated only to see a giant monster standing right next to the wheel, and it wasn't just any monster, it was a Gergosa standing at 23 feet tall and it was currently reaching for their pod.

The Gergosa closed both hands around the pod and pulled it out of the Big Wheel. The metal bolts attaching the pod to the giant machine g.r.o.a.n.e.d but quickly broke. The Gergosa brought the pod next to it's face and tried to eat it whole.

Crack!

The monster broke it's teeth on the hood of the pod, it looked confused it would usually eat right through metal. Inside the spear the hood was covered with Percy's blood in the form of a protection rune.

"What is that thing?!" Nancy yelled out.

"Wait, you can see that?!" Percy asked surprised.

"Of course I can!" Nancy said but just then the Gergosa got bored of it''s toy. It drew back the pod and threw it into the ocean.

"HANG ON!" Percy yelled out as the pod flew faster and faster across the air. The impact of the pod on the surface of the water would destroy the enchantment Percy put on it, they needed to escape.

Percy pulled himself of the seat, fighting the G-force he felt, he drew back an arm, 'Earthquake From' he thought as he activated his Earthquake powers and his Body From perk.

Body Form Activated: Right Arm

His arm glowed green as slowly every muscle in his arm grew larger and more prominent. Percy then smashed his arm right into the pod door breaking it off.

BOOM!

That was the sound of him breaking his own enchantment. He powered down and grabbed Nancy and before the girl could even think he held her tightly before jumping out of the pod.

"YAAAA!" Nancy yelled out panicking in Percy's arms, but the demigod had activated Gamer's mind causing all distraction to disappear. Percy held her tightly and put his back to the water below, he then poured 500 MP into Marble skin turning his back into stone;

Defence- 500 x 78 Vit = 39,000 Defence

He grimaced as suddenly his world turned cold and wet.

Damage- 5000 HP!

Here's a helpful tip, if you think you can survive a fall by aiming for the water, you're an idiot. The water felt like cement when Percy's back hit it. But luckily for him the damage wasn't to bad, heck the fall didn't even break his marble skin defence. And as soon he hit the water his domain perk healed him up instantly.

Percy quickly commanded the water to pull himself and Nancy and himself to the surface where he made a frozen surface for them both. The girl was panting hard, water had gotten into her nose and so she started having a coughing fit.

"You okay?" Percy asked pulling the girl up onto the icy plain.

"I think so-where did this ice come from?" Nancy looked at ice underneath her feet as she slowly stood up.

"No idea."

Lie failed!

Percy sighed because like the box said Nancy looked suspicious, she wasn't buying his excuse, "look I'll explain later, but for now we have to get away."

The two turned and sure enough the Gergosa stood on the edge of the pier looking at them with hunger in it's eyes. It then took a step forward and jumped into the ocean. The water came up to it's head at first but as it moved deeper and deeper in the water slowly began to take more and more of it.

"Stupid thing," Percy whispered as he stood up with a smile as the monster slowly moved towards them.

"Percy we need to go!" Nancy yelled terrified at the sight of the monster approaching them.

"Relax Nancy."

"But Percy-"

Percy turned to the girl and smiled at her cutting all off protest. His smiled was warm and reassuring, "trust me Nancy, I got this."

Nancy nodded and Percy turned back to the monster. The now was in reach of them as it lifted its arm high into the air before bringing it down hard. Nancy bowed down with her hands crossed over her head in fear, but Percy smiled.

The demigod lifted his hand up like he was about to catch the monster's hand and suddenly out of the ocean rosse a gigantic arm made out of water. It mirrored Percy's own moment as it closed itself around the Gergosa's hand. Percy then used his free hand to control the water around the Gergosa's body. He then closed it into a fist causing the water to crush the Gergosa into little pieces of gore.

Gergosa HP: 100/18,000

Percy raised an eyebrow at this. There was literally nothing above it's neck left. …...Oh wait the neck. Percy then sent a spike of ice right through the neck and head of the monster causing it to vanish into nothing.

Percy lifted the water up to collect the Loot the monster drooped. 200$ and a stuffed black dog carnival toy. Percy put the money away before handing the dog to Nancy who was simply looking at Percy with awe.

"Here I got this for you," Percy smiled.

"WHAT THE F.U.C.K IS GOING ON!?" Nancy yelled out.

Percy grimaced but chuckled, "I'll explain soon, just hold on for now."

"Hold on? Wh-" the ice platform they were standing on started to move, Percy used his water control to do so taking them back to land. Percy helped Nancy get off the icy platform which Percy then destroyed with a flick of his writs. "Percy what's going on? What was that thing?"

"We need to get somewhere safe Nancy, I'll explain then," Percy said as he dragged Nancy back to Yancy academy. Percy had plans upon plan made by the time they reached his dorm, and Nancy had questions upon questions ready to be asked.

Percy threw open the door startling Chad. The boy looked shocked first before he smiled, "you know girls aren't allowed in here Percy."

"Not now Chad," Percy said as he grabbed his packed bag turning to Nancy, "Nancy I know you have a lot of questions right now, and I promise you I will answer them all, but right now you are in danger, and it's because of me. So I need to get away from you as far as I can, got that?"

"Perseus Jackson you better answer my questions or else I swear to god-"

Just then the door slammed open startling the two mortals but the lone demigods was on the move. Percy drew Riptide and was about to uncap it when he saw two blonde haired girls walk in. "Nina? Annabeth? What are you guys doing here?"

The daughter of Athena panted, "we need- to get- you out-"

"Oh for the love of the gods work on your stamina Annabeth," Nina scowled before turning to Percy, "we got news of someone planning on launching an attack on you. Looks like you handled it though."

Percy nodded, "yeah I did. Was there any casualties?"

"None, at least nothing was reported, I think the Mist covered most of it up. New said it was freak accident and that the carriage was empty, any witnesses?"

Percy turned to Nancy, "just her."

"Ah Percy what's going on? Who are the two blonde beauties?" Chad asked, but no one really bothered to answer him.

"Yes Percy who are they?" Nancy asked in a frosty tone, "and how exactly do you know them?"

"Ah, I said I would explain later didn't I?" Percy said rubbing his neck.

"And who are you" Nina asked with narrowed eyes causing Nancy to turn her attention to the Forge god's daughter.

"Nancy Bobofit, and you?"

"Nina."

"No last name?"

"You aren't worth wasting my breath over pronouncing my name."

"And you aren't worth the air you breath."

"Why you little-"

"Enough!" Percy yelled causing the two girls to stop arguing, instead they tried to each other with looks. "Nancy," Percy turned to her, "I promise I will explain everything to you, but right now I need to go. I promise I will tell you everything when I come back, but until then please understand."

Nancy looked like she wanted to argue but she instead sighed and nodded. Percy smiled and just then Nancy grabbed Percy's head and kissed him full on. Percy's eyes widened in shock while Annabeth gasped in surprise. Nina on the other hand turned from shocked to confused to enraged in a split second.

Nancy broke the kiss slowly as a bride of saliva connected their lips. She licked her lips, "you taste amazing."

"Haba Haba Haba," Percy stammered out still in shock. This wasn't his first kiss, Marchosias made sure of that, but this was the first time he kissed someone he knew and liked.

"Okay we need to go, now," Annabeth said breaking Percy out of his state of confusion.

"R-Right," Percy turned to Nancy with now a big blush on his face, "I-I'll see you around."

Nancy nodded. She took of his jacket which she was still wearing and gave it back to him, "remember your promise Percy."

Percy nodded putting his jacket on as Annabeth pulled him out. Nina glared at Nancy who smirked back. Lightning passed between them as a gauntlet was thrown, Nancy 1, Nina 0.

Percy and Annabeth walked out of the school quickly, with Nina just behind them. The quickly reached the main road and continued to town. "How did you get here so fast?" PErcy asked.

"We didn't, we got the warning about the attack a few hours ago, we took a bus over here."

"A few hours ago?! Why didn't you Iris message me?"

"We couldn't, something was blocking the signal, something powerful," Annabeth said as reached the outskirts of town.

"Okay, so what do we know so far?"

"Somebody wanted you dead."

"Yeah real short list that is," Nina added sarcastically.

"Right, so most probably Luke or Argo commissioned the hit on me," Percy said as the quickly reached the bus stop that would take them to New York where they could then take a cab to camp.

"Yes, and those two are the only ones with the ability to create Gergosas right now."

"Okay but how did they get it in here? I remember the attack. One moment it was all sunshine and rainbows, the next there was a giant n.a.k.e.d man standing next to my pod."

"What were you doing in the Carnival anyway?" Nina asked.

"I was with a friend," Percy said, right now Gamer's mind was working overtime to stop him from blushing like a tomato.

"The girl we just saw stuffing her face into yours?" Nina asked with narrowed eyes.

"Ah...yeah, oh look our bus is here!" Percy exclaimed as he and the other got on. He paid for their tickets and soon they were off.

The three sat in the back away from prying eyes as Percy began speaking again, "so any idea on how the Gergosa suddenly appeared?"

"Teleportation?" Annabeth suggested.

Percy nodded, "possible."

"Invisibility cloak," Nina said.

"I would had heard it's footsteps coming, so no."

"Maybe you were distracted," Nina frowned crossing her arms, "after all I'm sure if little miss puffy lips was with you that Big Wheel pod might have gotten very steamy."

Percy couldn't hold the blush anymore, "nothing happened!"

"Bullshit! They why did she have your jacket?!"

"She was cold!"

Annabeth sighed and shook her head as the two demigods argued from a few minutes. Eventually the settles on a, 'don't talk about it' policy, which both parties agreed upon. The time went by quickly for them all as they spent most of the bus ride talking about their summer and sharing stories.

Annabeth had gone to see her dad during Christmas, they were on talking term but yeah things could have been better. Nina on the other hand had spent most of the year inside camp working away in the forge and Percy could see she had grown visibly taller and her arms were far more prominent.

The bus drove all night long and around mid-night it reached in New York. They got off and quickly got a cab that took them to Camp. During the car ride Annabeth and Nina slowly fell asleep with them leaning on Percy's shoulders leaving the demigod awake and nervous.

"Are they your sisters?" the cab driver asked.

Percy looked at the rough looking man and smiled, "yeah kind off."

"Ah so girlfriends eh? Ah the kids these days and their wild relationsh.i.p.s," driver said chuckling.

"No no no no they aren't-we aren't-"

"Haah,relax kid, just pulling your leg," the cabby smiled. Percy smiled back and slowly everything became silent.

Ping!

Warning! Titan ahead!

Percy's eyes snapped up and just as the box said Hyperion stood right on the middle of the road in all his flaming glory. Percy moved, his instincts took over immediately as he grabbed Annabeth and Nina kicking the taxi door open and dashing out using the Speed Demon perk.

He put them on the side of the road before turning around to grab the driver, but just then a spear made of fire pierced through the car igniting the fuel inside.

BOOM!

Percy was blown back a little because of the explosion but he held on. The noise woke Nin and Annabeth up who quickly came to his side.

"Percy what happened?!" Nina asked as she took off her necklace which had a mini hammer pendant that grew into her large weapon she preferred to use.

"Hyperion," Percy said with narrowed eyes as slowly the Titan of the East walked slowly out of the flaming wreckage of their car. Annabeth started to shake, this was the same monster who killed her the first time, and she was not going to let it happen again. Percy took out Riptide and the gauntlet of Kefka before equipping them both on. He then gathered mana around his hand and sent it out in the form of the Bad Luck curse.

The curse flew in the form of a red beam which Hyperion tried to deflect back with a wave of his hand, but fortunately the curse contacted as Percy could see the Titan's luck slowly go down to zero;

Hyperion, Kronos lite

Lv-?

HP:?

MP:?

Race-Titan

Str-?

Vit-?

Dex-?

Int-?

Wis-?

Luc-0

The third most powerful titan of all creation, Hyperion if ferociously loyal to Kronos who helped free him from his prison in Tartarus. Hyperion is know to be cruel and sadistic in his battles as he likes to torture his enemies before killing them. He is a master at controlling fire.

Like: Selene, Fire, Cronus, Theia

Dislikes: Too many to count, Percy Jackson

He wants to kill Percy for cutting off his arm.

He is very happy.

'What the f.u.c.k?!' Percy thought, 'his dislikes are too many to count but I get a special mentions?!' But it was logical since Percy did cut the dude's right arm.

"So we meet again Percy Jackson," Hyperion spat out the name like it was made of broccoli.

"Hey now no need to sound so rude," Percy said summoning his servant from the gauntlet, even going as far as to summon Cerberus back from the Underworld who appeared via shadow travel.

"Your pet's didn't save your friends last time Jackson," Hyperion said eyes the monsters.

"Yeah well they and I are both a lot stronger now," Percy said as he slowly approached Marchosias who was growling at the titan, "get the girls away from here as fast as you, got it?"

"Got it," the winged wolf responded. Percy then turned to the titan and dashed forward along with the rest of the servants. Annabeth and Nina made to move forward but before they could even move Marchosias turned into her human form, this time she still had her wings, and grabbed the two demigoddess. They struggled but before they knew it they were already half way to camp.

Percy and Craig attacked Hyperion with their blades causing the Titan to jump back and draw his own blade. Zed then jumped in and swung his huge blade down on the Titan who blocked it with his own blade, "we played this game before boy, and I will beat you, just like I did last time!" Hyperion then exploded out in flames blasting Zed backwards sword in hand, luckily he was still in one piece.

"It is good they are gone, after all it is only you I am after," Hyperion said with a snarl.

"I'm guessing you were the one who transported that Gergosa into the Carnival," Percy said eyeing the titan.

"You guessed right demigod."

"Is it because of the whole me cutting off your arm thing?" The titan roared in disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e as he charged Percy, "I'm guessing it's because I cut off your arm."

Cerberus intercepted the running titan who summoned a flaming shield to stop the monster. The three headed dog burnt itself but managed to push Hyperion back where Craig was waiting for him. The Knight of the Damned finally managed to wound the Titan by cutting into his side drawing blood.

"You insolent brat!" Hyperion yelled out as he blasted Craig point blank with a beam of fire, but that was just a distraction.

Percy charged ahead and swung at Hyperion from the right hoping to catch him off gaurd. But the Titan was anything but. His stump of a right arm exploded out in flames taking the form of a flaming sword that blocked Riptide. Percy let go of the handle from the sheer heat alone, but instead of moving back he moved forward with open palms.

"What the-" Hyperion began but stopped seeing blood runes carved on the palm of Percy's hands. They were runes used to summon water and right as they were inches from Hyperion's face Percy activated them.

WOOSH!

The water threw Hyperion off balance dosing the Titan with 20 liters of water that cost him 200 HP and 2000 Mana;

Percy HP: 4,720/5,000

MP:1,025/3,025

Hyperion wasn't getting up as the water affect him badly, especially 20 liters right to the face. Percy panted as Alecto pulled him to his feet, "you used to much mana in that last one."

"I need take him down," Percy said as he recalled Zed back inside. The three headed dog went back to guarding the Underworld and Alecto grabbed Percy as they flew quickly in order to catch up with the winged demon and her two passengers.

They eventually reached the border to the camp where Alecto spoke, "something is off."

"What's wrong?" Percy raised an eyebrow.

"The barrier, it's weakened," Alecto said as she slowly descended to the bottom of the hill leading to camp.

Percy recalled Alecto and just then Marchosias stepped into view still in her human form with a smirk on her face.

"Are they safe?" Percy asked as he walked to the border, the demon following closely next to him.

"They are."

"Why is the barrier weak?"

"I don't know, but if I had to guess I would say something is wrong with the source of the barrier's power."

Percy's eyes widened in horror as he ran ahead recalling Marchosias into the gauntlet. He reached Thalia's tree and found half of camp surrounding it. Annabeth walked out of the group with tears in her eyes, "Percy-it's Thalia's tree, it's dying."
