I spent 20 minutes panicking because every single fucking word in the last chapter was in bold and the site was not loading. Note to self – never upload from your mobile ever again.
Also, I gave the first chapter to my friend to proofread and the first thing he told me was that it was cliché as fuck. I mean yeah of course the story I am trying to write is not something new but goddamit people are sooo rude nowadays.

Thanks to these dudes for reviewing.
"Maybe, you hurt your head?"
His best friend stood near the doorway of the room he was in and asked Percy.
"No, I am fine. Just a little tired."
Ok, that was a lie.
Percy did not feel tired in fact he never felt this awake or rejuvenated before. It was like someone directly injected Coffee into his veins.
"Usually, I would take you to Chiron and Mr. D but it is late now." Said Grover looking out towards the sky.
"I have to go too or else the Harpies might tear me apart if I am up after curfew"
"….. What?! 'Tear you apart' is that figuratively or literally?"
"Literally"
"Grover. Grover! What is this place?! Where is this place?! Are we in a demon camp or something?! And why would Harper tear you apart?
Percy was panicking. This was the place his unknown father wanted to send him but his mother opposed it. What if his mother knew how inhumane this camp is and that's why she didn't want to send him here. What if they ask him to join their demonic cult? What if they sacrifice his soul to the Devil? What if-
"Percy. Percy! This is a camp made for special people like you. We are in Long Island. No this is not a demon camp. And they are called harpies they clean stuff.
Oh.
"Look, Percy, I get that you are tired so why don't you sleep. Tomorrow Chiron explain everything to you.
"Yeah okay, sure I'll try to sleep."
As Grover was leaving Percy suddenly remembered something. In Yancy, Grover was not only bullied because he was handicapped or he was scrawny he was also bullied because he played games on his crappy PSP which a bully broke later.
"Hey Grover" Percy called out to him a bit nervous
"Yeah?" Grover asked while turning back.
"You used to play a lot of games. Yeah?"
"Yep, but that was before that idiot broke my PSP. Don't tell me you have never played before?" He asked a bit bewildered.
"….. Dyslexia. Remember?" Percy was a bit flustered.
Speaking of Dyslexia, Percy turned to the floating words. Even though there were only four words on the screen Percy could read them like he never had dyslexia in the first place.
Shaking his head, Percy continued "What do you do when you have some unread messages?"
"You open the mailbox." Grover stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"So, I just have to 'open' the mailbox?"
Tring!
As soon as he said the word 'open', two messages popped up.
-Congratulations on becoming a [Player]. (unread)
- [Daily Quest: Preparations to become strong] is now available. (unread)
Percy smiled brightly.
'Finally!'
Seeing his best friend's expression brighten up. Grover asked
"Why do you ask? What game is it? Do you need my help?
Percy shook his head
"No, I'll do it alone. Thank you, Grover. Goodnight. I will see you tomorrow."
"Ah…. Ok, Goodnight" Saying that Grover left.
Not wanting a repeat of what happened. Percy stood up and went to lock the door.
After coming back and plopping on the deck chair he was previously sleeping on.
- [Congratulation on becoming a 'Player'] (unread)
- [Daily Quest: Preparation to become strong] is now available (unread)
Ok so, the first message
'Confirm'
Tring!
[This System will support the growth of the 'Player']
[Failing to comply with the system's instruction will result in penalties]
[Your rewards have been delivered]
Ok, what?
The System, growth penalties, and rewards
Words with unknown meanings are being thrown in his was one after the other.
'What will it help grow and what will it reward me with?'
He decided to worry about confusing words later and opened the next message.
- [Daily Quest: Preparation to become strong] is now available (unread)
'Confirm'
Tring!
[Daily Quest: Preparation to become stronger]

"Hah…"
This was a joke. There is no way in hell he can or will willingly do it. (AN-Emphasis on willingly lol.)
But what if…...?
Percy stood and made his way to the center of the room where there was space. And slowly started squats.
1,2,3, 4,….69,…99,100
"Huff wh-why huff did I huff think this would huff be a great idea huff." Percy wheezed out.
…There was no way he was going to do 100 push-ups or 100 sit-ups. With his knees on fire, he made his way back to the deck chair and leaned back.
Staring up at the ceiling, he started to think about how the summer has not even started properly and it has already gone to shit. And now there is a chance he might be hallucinating cuz FOR GOD'S SAKE THERE ARE FLOATING WORDS INFRONT OF HIM!... sorry there.
With these thoughts in mind, Percy felt his eyelids getting heavier and fell asleep.
Around midnight, a screen popped up before the sleeping Percy.
On the screen, there was a clock that turned red when the second's hand entered the last round of the day.
57,58,59,60
As the second, a minute, and the hour hand reached 12.
Percy died…..jk
Another message popped up which said
[Failed to complete Daily Quest]
[You will be transferred to the 'Penalty Zone' for a set period of time].
I know my Vocabulary is bad. So, pls no bully :)
