Percy stood in the courtyard in front of the water fountain where he saw Grover talking to Juniper. It was Monday night and Percy was getting ready to test out his new powers.

He spent the day listening in class which actually raised his Int! Seriously! After the day of classes ended Percy got a ping and it said,

Due to you paying attention in class, for the first bloody time, you have gained +1 Int!

Percy was beyond excited because of the extra stat points and the fact that he had actually managed to pay attention in class! Sure he still had ADHD and all that and couldn't stop moving, but his Dyslexia now only affected him by -35%.

Meaning he understood 65% of what was being taught! This was a sign that Percy was in fact setting his life on track, he is going to make his mother proud, and make sure nothing ever happens to her.

Percy had one goal today, to discover his skills and grind them. So far he knew of only one skill he got for being the son of Poseidon, breathing underwater. There was still a lot more to go, like control water, talking to fishes, creating goddamn earthquakes and talking to horses.

First of the horses and fishes thing is probably not going to happen, since he doesn't have any fish and there are no horses around. So that left, controlling water and creating earthquakes. And since he didn't want to destroy the school, today that is, he decided to just try and control water, hence the fountain.

Percy took both hands and dipped them in water. He felt the water around his arm and he felt his son of Poseidon title activate. His body became stronger and more agile, but Percy slowly pushed all that to the corner of his mind with Gamer's mind.

Slowly he raised his hands up until he broke the water surface, he concentrated on the water under his arms and willed it to come up with him.

Slowly as Percy raised his arms above the water, two balls of water clung to his hands not letting go. Percy grinned and brought the water balls upwards and near his face. It was moving, like a big ball of jello and suddenly the balls busted all over Percy's face, drenching the boy.

'Goddamn,' Percy cursed, 'lost my concentration.' Percy dipped his hands into the water again. He felt it around his hands and again he pulled it out out of the fountain, this time holding it together as one huge ball of water. Percy brought it up and then held it there for nearly a minute.

Percy then threw the water like a real ball and it hit the fountain and splashed back down into the water pool below.

Ping!

New Skill discovered! You have discovered your skill as a demigod!

Water Controlling Lv-1 (43%)

Allows you to control any form of water from any source of water. You can reconstruct it in anyway you wish and it will obey your every command.

Cost-20 MP per minute

Mana-80/100

Regeneration-10 per minute

Percy frowned, his regeneration rate was pathetic, but it was to be expected, his Wis was only 4.

Percy learned a few things more about his powers. Each improved somethin or the other about him.

Str- his physical strength, duh.

Vit- his endurance and defence (+25 hp per level for 10 Vits)

Dex- his athleticism and precision (+10% hp regen per level for 10 dex)

Int- Mana storage rate and memory (+25 mp per level for 10 Int)

Wis- Mana recovery and mana scene (+10% mp regen level for 10 wis)

And so far he only had;

STR-2

VIT-1(+2)=3

DEX-3(+2)=5

INT-5

WIS-4

LUC-3

Which was next to nothing. This is why Percy needed to grind big time, he did have 10 points that he could spend, but like Han Jack said, he needed to save those.

So Percy turned to the fountain again after dismissing the screens. He gathered mana into his arms and the spoke, "water control."

Mana-0/100

The recovery time for him would a total of 8 minutes since his recovery rate was 10%, meaning 10 MP is restored per minute.

After 10 minutes Percy got up again and focused on manipulating water again. After another 5 minutes of water manipulation Percy crashed down again exhausted of all his mana.

Ping!

Due to constant usage skill has evolved!

Water Controlling Lv-2 (3%)

Allows you to control any form of water from any source of water. You can reconstruct it in anyway you wish and it will obey your every command.

Cost-19 MP per minute

The cost of usage went down by just one point! Percy cursed but he knew this was how he will get strong, one step at a time.

Percy trained into the night and at around 12, midnight he collapsed again into the ground what felt like the hundredth time.

Ping!

Due to constant usage skill has evolved!

Water Controlling Lv-4 (30%)

Allows you to control any form of water from any source of water. You can reconstruct it in anyway you wish and it will obey your every command.

Cost-17 MP per minute

Percy smiled at this, finally he was getting somewhere.

Ping!

Due to constant usage of Mana and constant Mana regeneration, +1 to Int and Wis.

Well this was getting better already. Percy smiled at the bonus points, it seems studying and making wise choices aren't the only ways to train Int and Wis.

Just then Percy heard somebody walking towards him, it definitely sounded like a human, not he crutches using Grover or the wheelchair bound Mr. Brunner.

Quickly Percy splashed some water onto himself and ran, the water increased his Str, Dex and Vit by 20 points allowing him to easily escape whoever was coming towards him. Reaching his dorm building Percy managed to jump onto the railing on the first floor and pulled himself up.

Reaching the door to his room Percy activated his skill, Sneaking, and slowly entered his room. There he saw Grover's hand by the side of the top bunk, the goat was snoring, badly.

Percy quietly walked in, closed the door and went into his bed. He put his shoes away and took off his jeans. He laid back and slowly let sleep take over him.

Ping!

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 woke up with the same blue box over his head. He swiped it away and looked around. The time was 7 in the morning. Quickly Percy took a shower and got ready. He changed his clothes into his uniform and grabbed his bag.

Percy turned to Grover, who was still asleep, sighing Percy shook Grover up, "hey, G-man, wake up."

"Ah?" Grover said through the drool, yuck, "what time is it?"

"Around 7 man," Percy replied, it took him twenty minutes to get ready, "now get up, you're going to be late."

Grover waved Percy away and turned in his bed, "I'll be fine Percy. Just go to class."

Percy shook his head at his friends antics and quickly left his dorm. He went to the cafeteria and looked at the people waiting to get their food, there weren't many here right now, due to it being so early in the morning.

Percy's breakfast was already paid for, they took it from his fee's so he was allowed to take as much as he wanted. Only thing was he is expected to finish it all.

Seeing an opportunity, due to the few people here, and all of them being distracted by something or the other, Percy quickly got an idea.

Percy opened up his inventory and put the box over his empty plate. He reached for a stack of pancakes and placed them over the box. The food then disappeared into the inventory and Percy could see it in there.

Grinning Percy quickly loaded in as many pancakes as he could. And as he has he back blocking everyone's view of what he was doing it just looked like Percy was really hungry, that is is anyone was even looking.

Percy then closed his inventory after storing 20 pancakes in it. He then grabbed several packets of syrup which he also discreetly put into his inventory box. Finally he grabbed two pancakes and put them on his plate to eat.

He then went to a bench in the corner of the room and sat down to enjoy breakfast.

"Morning twerp," came an ugly voice. Percy turned and there was Nancy Bobofit. The annoying red haired girl sneered at Percy, "I thought you and your boyfriend were up all night bumping bones, where is all goat brains?"

Percy controlled his anger, or tried at least, "he is with your mom Nancy, it seems she has a thing for goats."

Nancy screamed, "what did you say?!"

"I said your mom is a goat f.u.c.ker Nancy! Are you deaf or something?!"

"Don't talk about my mom Jackson!"

"Don't talk about my friend Nancy," Percy replied as the girl looked as red as her hair. Percy looked at her ready to fight if she started something.

"At least I have a dad Jackson," Nancy said and walked away.

It shouldn't have hurt him, Percy was used to it. He was used to people telling him he was a bastard, that was the first thing anyone would use to insult him. He should have been used to it by now, but he wasn't.

Percy looked at the girl as she sat down a few seats in front of him. He then noticed she had a bottled water sitting next to her and Percy's mind started to spin. It would be a challenge of his powers, but isn't that what life is? Finding your limits, and then breaking them?

Percy drew on his magic and focused on Nancy's water bottle, "water control," Percy whispered and he felt his magic reach out and touch the water in Nancy's bottle. Suddenly water started to moved, it pushed the bottle left and right until it fell down.

'Shit,' thought Percy, 'I meant for it to jump out of the bottle, there was not enough force.'

This drew Nancy's attention as she looked out the fallen bottle. She then picked it up and put it up right. Percy sighed at the lucky second chance. He then tried again and this time he push the water upwards with all his will and the water burst out of the cap spraying all over Nancy's clothes.

"YA!" Nancy shrieked as Percy laughed, the girl quickly went back to her room to change leaving Percy in the cafeteria.

Percy looked at his mean and quickly began to eat, he pulled up his health and mana bar;

Health-200/200

Mana-66/100

Percy swiped the boxes away, the water manipulation was good and very easy to do. Maybe it had something to do with his powers. Maybe after he discovered the skills he can always use the skill no matter the difference in it.

Like maybe if he learned something the old fashioned way, without his powers, he would have had trouble with new things. But with his powers, water control means water control, only limited by his level.

Percy then used observe on his pancakes;

Pancakes: food,

restores 30 HP, 10 MP.

Percy's eyes widened at that. He quickly ate a full pancake and pulled up his mana bar;

Mana-77/100

It was amazing, so food effected mana too. This meant there should technically be food out there which resorted 100% of his mana/health.

Percy noted that for his future and then quickly spent the rest of his breakfast using Observe on anyone and everyone hoping to level it up quickly. The information block he had when he tried to observe the Iris message needed to be fixed. And the more information he got from Observing his enemies the better.

Ping!

Through constant use a skill has level up!

Observe Lv-2 (40%)

By Observing a target one will get information about said object

-Max HP,MP, stats and info.

'Sweet',thought Percy 'now I can observe the status of the people I Observe.'

Percy then quickly left the cafeteria for the library. Along the way Percy used Observes on everything he saw. It seemed the average student was Lv-3 with their stats at 3 or 4 each. Percy was already better than them, but then again that's not saying much.

At the library Percy used Observed On every book there, or at least tried to, the result of which his Observes evolved two more levels. Percy then quickly left to go for his classes and made it just in time so as to not be late.

There he saw Grover in his usual seat and Percy quickly gave a mental command, 'Observe.'

Percy blinked once, then twice. This was new. Well at least Grover is strong enough to be his protector, until Percy is strong enough to protect himself that is. Percy smiled at Grover and sat down.

Suddenly the class became quiet as not a word was spoken. A woman walked into the class with glass on and a tight hair bun on her head. She looked like someone with the fashion scene of someone from the 80's and looked like she was from then to.

The woman turned to the class and nodded, "good morning class, I am your new substitute teacher Mrs. Dodds. I will be teaching you pre-algebra and will stay with you for the rest of the year."

The woman then began taking attendance and when she came to Percy's name she stopped for a second and then growled his name out, "Percy Jackson."

Percy felt his spine tingle as he spoke through a dry throat, "h-here ma'am." What was that feeling?

Ping!

That 'thing' is after me?! F.u.c.k!

Percy spent the rest of the class worrying over how he was going to survive, in the end it all came back to the same answer, get stronger, fast.

Percy payed attention in class and with the help of Gamer's mind looked as calm as a cuc.u.mber, but inside he was scared and he needed to do something to get rid of all the anxiety.

After classes that day Percy quickly went to the library and began reading again, this time with the promise of death making him read faster, quickly he leveled up three more times.

YES/NO?

Percy gulped and quickly pressed yes, he really needed to do this, and fast. Later that night at around 10, when Grover finally slept off Percy quietly sneaked out of his room and jumped to the ground floor.

He then quickly ran to the library, which was across the courtyard. But as he was running he heard two voice in the courtyard ahead of him. Percy's quickly ducked into the bushes and quickly crawled on his stomach forward until he saw Mrs. Dodds there talking with Mr. Brunner.

Ping!

Skill leveled up!

Percy dismissed it and focused on listening in on their conversation.

"The boy is innocent Alecto," Mr. Brunner/Chiron said.

"My orders are absolute Chiron, if the boy is the son of Poseidon I will kill him," he heard Mrs. Dodds/Alecto speak up as she growled, what is with her and growling?

"I will not stand by while you kill an innocent boy Alecto."

"Innocent? Who? That thief?" Alecto spat out, "the boy stole from my master and Zeus himself!"

What? Percy wondered, 'has she lost it? I didn't steal anything!'

"The boy has done no such thing!" Chiron roared out, "and if you harm one of my students you best be weary of my wrath."

Alecto laughed, "ha! What wrath?! You are nothing but a weak little-" Suddenly a huge wave of killing intent spread out and it even affected Percy.

Ping! Ping! Ping!

· Detect bloodl.u.s.t, Lv-4 (90%)

This skill will detect any bloodl.u.s.t directed at the user. It is an instinctive skill.

Wow, Mr. Brunner sure knows how to make a point!

Alecto coughed and spoke again, "very well Chiron I will not attack the boy. But if he is the son of Poseidon make sure to have a shroud ready, for I will kill him!"

Percy then watched as the woman transformed into a large bat like creature and flew off into the sky.

Percy watched as Mr. Brunner then also left as he rolled away. It seems Percy has some form of protection. Quickly and quietly Percy walked along the shadows of the courtyard but just as the library was in sight he felt something.

Bloodl.u.s.t detected!

!

Percy's eyes' widened, 'shit!' He dove away and in the exact spot that he was Alecto appeared but she grasped nothing but air.

'How did she find me?' Percy wondered as he hide himself, 'she must have really good tracking skills, or I still need to improve my stealth.'

Percy then looked up and saw the bat form of Alecto circle the sky waiting for him to slip up and run out. Percy however wasn't that stupid. He needed a plan, and a good one. Percy didn't have any weapons on him, and the only offencive skill he had was his water powers, and if he used that he was as good as dead.

Percy opened his inventory and found only one thing that could help him, a pen. A f.u.c.k.i.n.g pen. Percy sighed and took the pen out. at least the tip of the pen was pointy. Percy looked and saw the library just a few feet away from him and the window on the first floor was open. Meaning he would need his son of Poseidon perk to get in.

Percy quickly stretched out his magic towards the fountain at the center of the courtyard. He felt the water and commanded it to com towards him. Slowly a huge ball of water appeared over Percy's head. Percy readied himself, he readied his pen, which now had the cap off, and he released the water over his head.

SPLASH!

The sound alerted Alecto, who flew down like a hawk. Her talons were spread out and she saw a figure in the shadows drenched in water, this was going to be an easy kill.

Alecto attacked the figure's left arm tearing into the arm with her talons. The figure grunted in pain, but before Alecto could react his right hand moved in a blur and something sharp stabs Alecto's neck.

The Fury screamed in rage as she flew away to tend to her wounds leaving the figure in the courtyard, she would find who that person was tomorrow, after all it wouldn't be to easy to hide a wound from her talons like that.

Percy held his left hand with his right, his HP took a major hit from Alecto's talons;

HP-130/200

MP-83/100

He sprinted to the Library and the jumped up to the first floor window. He grabbed it with his right hand and pulled himself up.

Percy, once inside, shut the window closed and stepped to the side and waited to see whether Alecto would come back, she did not.

Percy looked at his pen, it was not covered in blood, Alecto's blood. Monster or not, she still could be hurt with enough pressure. That and the added strength the son of Poseidon perk gave him once drenched in water, was the only reason Percy survived.

Percy quickly took out the pancakes from breakfast that he had stored away and quickly began to eat them. A couple of pancakes later and Percy's HP was full along with his MP and surprisingly the wound he received from Alecto on his left arm was not fully healed. Not even a scar remained.

Percy quickly noted everything down and then spent the rest of the night, and I do mean the whole night, reading through all the books he could find. Percy's mind didn't cloud up die to sleep nor did his reading speed decrease. The boy read and read until the sun came up.

Due to you being a demigod you have Dyslexia and poor English reading skills, you can talk it, but can't walk it. Your reading is now better, grade level-College+

You will understand exactly what you read.

Percy put down the last book and smiled. He did it. He finally did it. He no longer had his Dyslexia holding him back. He could finally be a good student and a good son for him mom's sake.

Percy then quickly snuck out of library just as it was opening up again. It was 7 in the morning and Grover was asleep. Percy snuck back into his room, quickly changed and went for breakfast. After storing some more pancakes in his inventory Percy quickly finished his food and went to the library, and this time he was determined to read to increase his Int.

After an hour of reading and five books later Percy gained +2 Int.

Int-8

Percy smiled at that and quickly went to class arriving just before Mrs. Dodds. Percy quickly took his seat and smiled at Grover, "hey G-man! I think I'm finally getting somewhere with all my reading!"

Grover smiled, "that's great Percy! You will probably do-" Grover than paled and looked over Percy's shoulder. Percy turned around and there was Mrs. Dodds, the old bat.

"Mr. Jackson," she said in a cold tone, "I see you have injured your arm."

Percy knew she was lying, she couldn't have seen that he had his sleeves down the whole time. "Ah no Mrs. Dodds I haven't injured it."

"Really?" She asked with a raised eyebrow? "Please show me your left arm then."

Percy rolled up his sleeves and the Fury quickly inspected it for any sign of injury. She even pitched it to make sure there was no makeup on. She finally gave up, "very well Mr. Jackson."

She then turned and walked away from us.

Ping!

Skill leveled up!

Percy looked at Grover, "what's her problem?"

Grover simply smiled and looked away not answering the question.

Percy simply shook his head and looked straight ahead listened to the class.

Ping!

Due to you listing in all your classes you get +1 Int!

Percy smiled at this. He had managed to pull of another full day of school without getting distracted, and his reward was obvious. He then decided to reward himself and gave himself the day off.

Still in his school uniform Percy decided to go for a walk around the campus, just to take in the sights and give himself some breathing time.

As he was walking along the north facing gate of Yancy Academy Percy noticed nothing odd painted on the school building face the North. This building was the administration office and right below the principles window was a blue triangle. Percy recognized it as a Delta symbol.

Ping!

You have spotted the entrance to the Labyrinth: Dungeon Lv-5

Do you wish to enter?

YES/NO?

Percy looked at the symbol and then at the blue box in front of him. If what it was saying is true then this was the entrance to a dungeon, like the kind in video games where one could fight monsters and gain treasure and such. But Percy knew he wasn't ready for it, not yet anyway.

Percy pressed no and then quickly left for the cafeteria, he had a plan. Percy first went to the back of the cafeteria where he picked through the recycle bin and found several empty bottles. He then stored them all in his inventory and ran to the fountain in the courtyard.

Percy quickly filled each and every bottle with water and then put them back in his inventory. Now that he had enough water for his son of Poseidon perk Percy needed a weapon.

Quickly Percy walked to Mr. Brunner's office, by this time the man would be at the teacher's lounge eating dinner with the rest of the teachers. And since Mr. Brunner is Chiron, who trains heroes as a job, he is bound to have some weapons lying around in there.

Percy stood in front of the window to Mr, Brunner's office, which was in the ground floor because of his wheelchair. Percy lifted the window up and climbed in. He then snuck around the office using Observe on everything incase a weapon was being hidden in the form of something else.

Ping!

Skill leveled up!

Sneaking, Lv-4 (1%)

Allows you to sneak up on someone.

25% chance of not getting caught.

25% chance of critical strike.

'Huh,' Percy wondered, 'must have had a high amount of experience.'

And just then something stood out to Percy in his many uses of Observe. On Mr. Brunner's table was a common looking disposable ballpoint pen. On it's side were the words, 'Anaklusmos.'

"Riptide," Percy said out loud as he read it's Observe box;

Anaklusmos

Anaklusmos or Riptide is made out of celestial bronze, a rare and powerful metal that is very effective when used against beings from the divine world(monsters, demigods, gods etc.). It does not harm mortals. It has two forms one as a pen and one as a sword. To release its sword form simply take off it's cap. And to make it into a pen tap the cap on the blade.

It is charmed so as to never be lost as it always appears in the owner's pocket few moments later. It is a blade used by Hercules himself given to him by Zoe Nightshade, the original owner. Riptide draws it's power from the sea and hence is every effective when used by a spirit of the sea or by a child of the sea.

Attack-100

+50% when used against monsters.

+100% when used by a child of the sea.

Percy picked up the pen and uncapped it and it suddenly transformed into a 3 foot long bronze blade. It's hilt is flat and pointed upwards with gold rivets, it's blade is double sided with it's name emblazoned on it's spine.

Percy held it tight as he got a good grip on the leather, the blade was perfectly balanced and looked like it was crafted for Percy and Percy alone.

Quickly Percy recapped the sword/pen and put it in his inventory and quickly looked for some armor in Mr. Brunner's room. Unfortunately he couldn't find any thing else of note, except a shield which was hidden behind a shelf.

Bronze shield

This shield is made out of bronze material and is sharp around the edges. Warriors use it to bash in their opponents heads and use the edge to cut deep.

Weight-40 KG, Durability 10/10.

Percy tried to pick up the shield but found that his Str was far too little for this. So Percy opened his status and put in an extra four points raising it to 6.

STR- 6

Now Percy lifted the shield, and though it still was a little uncomfortable the shield would save his life.

Percy put the shield in his inventory and quickly jumped out of Mr. Brunner's office. PErcy then ran to the cafeteria and walked in and grabbed a large plate of food. As Percy ate he slipped half of the food into his inventory for later.

Percy then talked with Grover and they two went back to their room. Percy pretended to sleep and after Grover started to snore Percy got ready to go out.

Percy quickly wore a blue hoodie with a pair of jeans and sneakers. He then snuck out by using sneak and quickly the demigod reached the north facing gate. He looked to the Principle's window and saw the blue delta symbol from before.

Percy slowly approached it and then,

Ping!

You have spotted the entrance to the Labyrinth: Dungeon Lv-5

Do you wish to enter?

YES/NO?

This time Percy pressed yes and suddenly the blue delta symbol glowed and the wall opened up to form a small passage way into the building. Percy looked in and saw a set of stairs that lead deep into the Earth.

Percy took out his bronze shield and Riptide from his inventory. He then poured half a bottle of water over his head and put the rest away for later. He popped open Riptide's cap causing the sword to enlargen.

Percy then walked down into the dark dungeon.
