Percy woke up at 7am bright and early, yet he felt something was off, and then as he opened his eyes he saw it…

You have slept in your bed; HP and MP have been restored to 100% each. All ailments and negative statuses have been cured.

Percy closed his eyes; he must be having a wild dream…

That's it, I've decided, no more playing GTA… At least for today. Percy opened his eyes once more and saw the words again, and reached out to touch them, yet his hand just went right through it, like a hologram. As he did this the box rippled and disappeared, at which point he decided he had one wild imagination.

As Percy stretched, and wiped the drool off of his face, he got up off of his bed and stubbed his toe on his night-stand, "OWWWWWWWWW".

'Ping!'

Percy jerked up, he must be going crazy, but then he looked up.

Skill created!

Skill Physical Endurance, Lvl-1 (5%)

Your body's endurance and durability has increased and you take less damage from attacks, if you call stubbing your toe on a night-stand an "attack"…

1% less damage from physical attacks.

"What in the heck is going on?", Percy thought to himself as he thought of the box disappearing, it did so.

"No, no, no. Today is my birthday, no crazy stuff will be happening to me!" Percy said to himself. Percy thought back to the other strange things that have happened to him in his admittedly short life, like when he saw that weird one eyed dude, or when he saw some weird old ladies staring at him. He decided to think more recently, back to what he did the other day. He played video games with his mother, ate some blue cookies and had a great time, and now he is seeing boxes that make him think of video games…

"Might as well get this over with and do some testing, else it's the asylum for me…" Percy thought, "Uhhh, 'Player!'"

Nothing happened.

"Help screen!"

After multiple more tries his frustration was building up. I wasn't exactly a patient person.

I took deep breath and relaxing, as no one ever got anywhere nor made any logical decisions while angry. After another couple of minutes of experimenting I finally got a response from;

"Status!"

A blue box appeared before him and read;

Perseus (Percy) Jackson

Health-150/150

Mana-500/500

Title-The Gamer, Momma's boy(100% affection from mother), Hidden genius(+5 INT)

MONEY- 18$/0D

Perseus (Percy) Jackson is a ?, and the son of Sally Jackson and ?. He is a smart kid but his mother asked him not to draw attention to himself for some strange reason, but still encouraged him to learn as much as he could. He currently goes to Yancy, and is in first grade, not that he needs to be there at the rate he's learning anyway… Percy is unaware of who his father is, all he knows is that he is lost at sea. He loves blue food and the ocean. He wishes that his mother could have anything in the world, and would do anything to make that happen.

Percy blinked.

He blinked again.

Then he snapped. The last thing he heard was cackling laughter, as he fell back onto his bed unconscious, as if he never woke up in the first place.

The Fates smiled after laughing (madly cackling) to themselves for a few minutes, on and off.

"Yes" The Fates spoke in unison, "This is perfect".


Percy slowly came to, as he wiped the fuzziness out of his eyes. He woke up the see;

You have slept in your bed; HP and MP have been restored to 100% each. All ailments and negative statuses have been cured.

"Well" Percy thought, "I guess I wasn't dreaming"

For thinking intelligently about this crazy amazing ability you now possess you gained 1 WIS.

WIS-8

Great. Thinking back to his stats, he was honestly pathetic not counting his WIS or INT, at least for his age, that'll have to change. Now that he thought about this he felt very… calm and accepting about all of this, which was strange, usually he'd freak out, hm…

As he thought this, a box appeared;

Skills-

A Gamer's Mind(Passive)

Allows user to calmly and logically think things through. Allows peaceful state of mind and immune to psychological effects.

…Well then I guess that explains it. Looking at his other skills he saw

A Gamer's Body(Passive)

Grants user a body that allows real life to be played as a game.

Skill: Phyical Endurance, Lvl-1 (5%)

Your body's endurance and durability has increased and you take less damage from attacks.

1% less damage from physical attacks.

As Percy processed this all he realized if what he saw was true… His life was a game, and he was essentially a noob. It hurt somewhere deep inside when he realized that, seriously.

"I wonder what I can do with this, so many ways to abuse the system, if this is actually a game, I could…"

'Ping!'

Quest Alert!

Find out more about video games and how to become amazing at them.

Rewards –

250xp

YES/NO

Huh.

Percy read it and quickly tapped the YES button.

"That's strange" I thought, I got a quest as soon as I thought about something similar to a goal I was setting myself, hmmm…

Experimentation time. I quickly thought of a quest, that'll be going down the stairs to get food with a 1,000,000 experience reward.

Nothing happened.

Oh well, worth a try.

As he was about to go off into his thoughts about his new abilities and his new quest he heard his mother call "PERCYYY, WAKEEE UPPP!"

He looked at his clock and saw it was 9:00am, meaning school started soon, "Damn", Percy thought, I passed out for that long?

'Ping!'

Quest Alert!

Get ready fast!

Reward- 50xp

Failure-

Mom is disappointed in you on your special day.

Feel crappy all day and be late to school.

YES/NO

Percy quickly tapped yes and said "COMING MOM!"

As Percy got up, he went to the bathroom and went through his daily routine, brushing his teeth, taking a hot shower, which felt like a million bucks, and singing like there was no tomorrow, (not that he'd ever admit that), and getting ready for the day.

As Percy finished up in the bathroom he quickly walked into the kitchen he heard his mother say;

"Happy birthday Percy! Blue pancakes today, specially made!"

You might be wondering why Percy likes blue pancakes, well he has no idea. It was just instinct one day and hey, what isn't better when it's blue anyway.

As soon as Percy saw his mother he looked at her strangely, luckily she was still cooking.

She had a name above her head, and a level.

Hers read;

Sally Jackson - Best mom EVER

LVL-18

Percy quickly thought of the box disappearing, which dismissed it, and sat down at the kitchen table. As soon as he did so he heard an alert;

'Ping!'

Quest completed,

Get ready fast!

Reward-

50xp

Excited he finished his first quest; he checked his status to see his experience.

EXP-100/500

So he thought to himself, 4/5 of his total before leveling up good, good. As soon as he thought this he heard his mother finish up cooking.

As his mother turned around and gave him a plate of blue pancakes she gave him a hug, saying happy birthday again. As she pulled back she looked into my eyes and I automatically knew I was going to be questioned. There isn't hiding anything from my mother. It must be some secret mother technology…

"Percy, is something wrong?" My mother asked me, sounding quite concerned.

"No mom just had a weird dream that's all." I lied.

'Ping!'

Skill created!

Lying, Lvl-1 (80%)

This represents your ability to tell lies successfully, the less outrageous the lie, the better the chance!

1% chance to not be caught lying.

"Weird. I'm assuming it's just a one percent bonus on top of how high my typical chance of getting caught in a lie is, for example, saying I'm sick might have a 60% chance of working depending on my delivery and how I act, but with this skill it'd be 61%.", I rambled in my thoughts.

I saw my mother looking at me curiously with a bit of hidden worry in her eyes but I could see she quickly dismissed it, moving on saying;

"What do you want to do on your special day?"

I immediately thought we were going to have an awesome day at the beach, as that's my favorite place to go.

"Let's go to the beach!"

My mother, who obviously expected this, chuckled, "Yes, yes of course, we'll go after school. How could I have forgotten after you asking me to go for the last week."

I blushed, "That so isn't fair, don't you know you can't tease the birthday boy?!", I thought. Then my mind caught up with what she said, "YAYAYA we get to go really?" I said excitedly.

"Yes Percy, finish your food and get ready for school."

I don't think I've eaten my pancakes that fast in forever; I usually like to savor to bluely goodness. Now, I was usually hyper, but now I was excited and hyper, a deadly combo for a 6 year old, my food stood no chance before my might.

As I finished the pancakes up I decided to do as my mom said and get ready for school, who knew what this day would bring about, especially with my new powers...
