Reach class on time to avoid getting detention with Mrs. Dodds!
Rewards:
+200 Exp
+1 Dex
Failure:
Detention with Mrs. Dodds
Yes/No
I quickly accepted and got ready. I stopped at the door, tightly holding the door handle. As I began walking out the door I felt my determination solidify into an insurmountable wall. I would become strong enough to save everyone I cared about, this time WOULD be different. Nobody and nothing will stop me, not even the Titans.
LET THE GAME BEGIN!
Now
Third P.O.V.
In the very center of the universe, on a barren and desolate planet, build upon the bedrock was a house. The quaint home was two stories high and was the only place on the entire planet that had green grass and animals on it. For about 10 Square miles a vast forest sprung up from the unusually fertile soil, the complete opposite of everywhere outside the area. Animals frolicked around, some fish jumping out of a pond and splashing back down into the crystal clear water. Inside the house, a shadowy figure sat on a small throne with a woman in front of him. He gave off an aura of power that made the kneeling woman shiver in front of him, whether it be from fear or pleasure from his unique aura that was only known to her. He was shorter than the woman, probably about 5'8" when standing, but he was unmistakably a being of immense power. The woman was taller, at a modest height of 5'9", with a curvaceous body, midnight black hair, and pale skin. Her eyes reflected the universe in which she governed. She was Chaos, but who was she kneeling before?
"I have done as you asked, the boy has been sent back to the beginning." She said simply. Although his eyes were not visible, his mouth turned up in a loving smile. "Thank you, my dear. I appreciate your help." "Might I ask why you asked him to start over? As far as I know, Kronos winning the war would not have affected you." She said looking up into the endless darkness that surrounded nearly his whole body. She internally flinched when his smile dipped slightly. She went to apologize but he raised a hand to stop her. "Stand up Chaos, you need not bow before me. Come sit with me." He said motioning to a chair that had just appeared across the small living room table that was in front of him. She nodded and took a seat. "You are correct. Kronos winning would not have affected me in the slightest. But that was not to be his fate. He was supposed to give Luke the dagger, and then the Host of Kronos would have stabbed his Achille's spot, killing himself and sending Kronos back to Tartarus." He explained, then continued. "It appears as if something interfered with destiny, and changed his fate. Now it will no longer be possible since he is above such trivial things." Chaos shook her head slightly as the person before her called fate and destiny trivial, it spoke volumes about his power. "I am sure you have much work to do keeping the universe in order Chaos, do come to visit sometime again?" He asked smiling kindly. It seemed like this entity was quite fond of Chaos. She bowed her head slightly. "Of course m'lord, I always enjoy our talks." She agreed. He chuckled slightly. "Now now Chaos, I told you not to call me lord. Just #!*&^ is fine." He chided. She laughed quietly. "As you wish #!*&^, I will see you again soon." She disappeared in a blink of black light. The entity sighed slightly and opened his hand and a remote appeared in it. He pointed the remote at the television in his home and clicked a button. It flashed to life showing a certain Son of Poseidon running down the hall to class.
"I do hope you do better this time Percy, I am rooting for you." The entity said eating popcorn that had appeared in his lap.
Percy P.O.V.
PING
Due to actually paying attention in class you have gained +1 Int!
Interesting, it appeared like I can train each individual stat I have. I thought to myself. So if I read and pay attention in class I get Int, If I run around I will get Vit, and If I exercise I will probably get Str. I wonder how I will get Dex, Luc, or Wis. I sat in my desk for a few minutes trying to figure out how to train with this new system.
PING
Due to using your brain, for once, to deduce how to get stronger with the gaming system you have gained +1 Wis.
Holy. Crap. That was all I had to do! I just have to think to get more Wis. I guess it makes sense since Wis is the application of knowledge. Wait, since when did I know that? It's crazy how just gaining one more Wis improved my thinking. I wonder how much Wis Annabeth and Athena have. Probably way too much. I looked over at Grover for a few seconds before I heard another PING.
New Skill Created! Due to constantly observing those around you a new skill has been developed.
Observe Lvl-1 (10%)

I grinned and used the skill on Grover.
Grover Underwood- Satyr Protector
Lvl- 20
Health-1000/1000
Mana-500/500
I never realized how much weaker I was than Grover when he first found me. I resolved myself to become as strong as possible before the trip to the museum and the subsequent journey to Camp Half-blood. I was knocked out of my head by the final bell of the day ringing. I grabbed my books and quickly went to my room and put them up. "What should I do first?" I wondered out loud. I did not want to start exercising suddenly and appear suspicious. I usually spent a lot of time at the pool so I headed there first. When I got there it was empty, just what I wanted. I went into the locker room and changed into swimming shorts, placing my other clothes into a locker. I walked out and stood at the edge of the pool for a second before jumping in. I quickly sunk to the bottom of the pool and nervously inhaled the water. PING

Water Breathing Lvl-Max
Due to being the Son of Poseidon, you can breathe in water!
Yes! That means I should have all my powers! Smiling I tried to focus on moving the water. Slowly I felt my mana flow out of me and enter the water. The familiar tug in my gut appeared and I pulled back. I opened my eyes to see the water moving in a vortex around me. I kept it up until I heard another PING.
-40 Mp

Water Manipulation Lvl-1 (93%)

I climbed out of the pool and sat on the edge with my feet in the water. "Status!"

Description- Percy Jackson is the son of the mortal, Sally Jackson, and the Elder Olympian, Poseidon, making him a demigod. Being a demigod means Percy has severe ADHD and Dyslexia. He loves his mother dearly and hates his stepfather who is a dick.
Status- Being a demigod grants Percy +3 Str, +2 Vit, and +2 Dex. Being the Champion of #!*&^ grants Percy freedom from the fates and the ability to make his own destiny, allowing him to interfere with prophecies and change the fate of others.
I was confused as to why my Hp and Mp were so high, Dismissing it for now I hit my new title Son of Poseidon and there was some interesting information.
Title- Son of Poseidon
Effects- Grants Percy the ability to breathe underwater, control water, summon hurricanes, summon earthquakes, and talk to most aquatic creatures as well as horses. While in contact with water you gain +2000 Hp and +1000 Mp, +20 Str, +20 Vit, and +20 Dex, while having double the mana and health regeneration per minute!
I raised an eyebrow at the summon earthquakes part. I had no clue I had the ability to summon earthquakes. I knew I could summon hurricanes ever since my battle with Hyperion in my first life. Now that I think about it, that could be why Mt. Saint Helens blew up, I must have summoned an earthquake that made the mountain erupt simultaneously releasing Typhon from his prison. PING!
Due to going over events in your past life and deducing what happened, you have gained +1 Int.
I swiped the box away and opened my status page again. I clicked on my actual stats and read what showed up.
Str- 2(+3)=5 (Physical Strength and increases Melee and unarmed damage)
Vit-1(+2)=3 (Endurance and defense, +50 Hp per level 10 Vit)
Dex-3(+2)=5 (Athleticism and Precision, +5% Hp Regen per level for 10 Dex)
Int-2 (Mana Storage and Memory, +25 Mp per level for 10 Int)
Wis-2 (Mana recovery, +5% Mp regen per level for 10 Wis)
Luc-0 (Your overall luck, higher the luck the better rewards you get for killing monsters)
I mulled over everything I just learned. My luck is abysmal which makes sense, I always had the worst luck of anyone I knew. I should probably figure out how to level that up as soon as I can. Next, I clicked on Points and money.
Points-10 (Points can be used to level up any stats or any skills by one per point invested)
Money- 0$/0D (USD as well as Drachmae)
Well, I just found how I am going to level up Luck. Before investing my points into anything I decided to check out all of my skills. "Skills," I said quietly and the screen popped up in front of me.

Hmm. All of my skills look pretty easy to level up, well except for Physical Endurance. Once I get to camp I will be able to do that, but since it requires me to take damage and then having to heal myself, I will need to find someone I can trust to help with that. I will put 5 points into luck one into Vit and 2 into Int and Wis respectively.

So I can create my own quests. I wonder if it works for everything. I clicked Yes for the Hardcore Training and No for Tides and Moon. Like I would ever get a date with Artemis to begin with. She barely found me tolerable after saving her from under the sky after all. PING! Oh great what now?
Due to figuring out how the quest system works(kind of) you have gained +1 Int.
Cool. So now I am halfway done with two of the 4 needed base stats for the quest. I stood up and looked at the clock on the wall behind me. "Shit!" I cursed, it was 5 Pm, meaning I had spent over an hour in here. I only have half an hour before dinner. I ran into the locker room and quickly changed after willing myself to dry. I wanted to get a start on homework before dinner so I made my way back to my room and sat down at the desk. I looked at the clock, 25 minutes left. I could spend 15 doing the work and make my way to the lunchroom for dinner. I started with my English work first. I honestly could not make heads or tails of anything since the letters kept swimming around my vision and constantly forming different patterns. PING!
New Skill Created!
Modern English Lvl-1 (5%)
Due to having Dyslexia you have an extremely hard time understanding the English language. Reading Level-1
-80% in understanding what you read (+5% per level)
Wow, I can only understand 20% of what people teach me. That sucks a lot. Maybe after dinner, I can go to the library for an hour or two and check out some books. I sighed and swiped the box away looking up at the clock. Dinner was in 14 minutes. I went over to my bunk and laid down to rest for a few minutes before heading out. After nearly drifting off to sleep I forced myself to wake up and look at the clock. 5:27 Pm. Crap, I got up and put my shoes back on, and ran to get in line for dinner. While standing in line I used Observe on as many people as possible, hearing multiple pings for my efforts.
Observe Lvl-4 (6%)
By using the skill Observe, you get information about the target of your gaze.
-Name, Lvl, Hp, Mp, Information about them, and how they are feeling.
Now I will always know how people are feeling, which can help greatly when deciding what to talk about. I grabbed food and sat down at an empty table. I tried using Observe on my food and was surprised by what I found out.
Chicken Wings
Regens 10% of Hp and 5% of Mp
Orange Juice
Regens 15% of Hp and 10% of Mp
Cheese Burger
Regens 20% of Hp
So I can use food and drinks to regen Hp and Mp. Good to know. I wish I had an inventory or something to store stuff in. I nearly jumped out of my seat and looked around to see if anyone had seen me. The reason for that was because a box appeared in front of me. It said Inventory at the top and had hundreds of spaces. There was a scroll bar letting you view the whole inventory. I clicked the word Inventory for more information.
Inventory
A pocket dimension that Percy Jackson can use to store nearly anything in. There is a stasis field inside of the inventory which stops time, keeping all food fresh when put inside. You can expand or shrink the inventory using the small arrows on each corner of the inventory box.
This is amazing! If I can manage to keep food stocked in my inventory I basically cannot die as long as I continue to eat. I wonder if there is anything that restores Hp and Mp to full. The only thing I can think of that might do that would be ambrosia or nectar. Once I reach camp I will have to use Observe on them. I began to dig in savoring the taste of my burger and wings, washing it down with the orange juice. Just as I was about to finish I heard a very annoying voice pipe up behind me.
"Where is the freak, Jackson? I thought you didn't go anywhere without your girlfriend."
