Percy Jackson and The Game of Life Chapter 3, a percy jackson and the olympians fanfic

Authors Note:

Thank you so much for your continued support! I read every comment and I appreciate your votes on the poll. Also thank you to PickleTickle869 for giving me ideas on how to train Dex. I update polls every chapter and I do in fact plan on finishing this regardless of what happens. There will probably be multiple books, don't know how many, but yeah. Maybe two books or three. One for PJO and HOO, and another one may be as a custom conflict. I plan on reading the lightning thief while writing my own lightning thief arc. Also if any stats change suddenly and seemingly for no reason, like how I changed Percy's Hp and Mp this chapter, it's because I am still working out some of the kinks of the story. If I ever change stats for seemingly no reason I will most likely put something showing why in () Next to it.
The top 5 girls will be chosen for the harem!
Candidates:
Artemis-11
Hestia-8
Thalia-6
Zoe-6
Calypso-3
Hera-3
Bianca-2
Rachel-1
Chaos-1
Aphrodite-1
Piper- 1

plebston323: Alright! Artemis is my vote btw, if I can vote twice, which I know I can't, I'd also do Thalia
Response: Okay so you can vote for as many girls as you want in ONE comment. You can only vote with one comment so make your comment count! You can comment as much as you want on other things.

Onto Chapter 3!

Last Time

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."

Now

I sighed quietly and turned around. Nancy Bobofit stood there with her posse. She was a pretty typical girl honestly, with light orange freckles and frizzy brown hair like a mouse. "What do you want Boba Fett?" I asked using the nickname I knew she hated. I decided to use Observe on her, maybe I would find out why she was such a bitch.

Description- Nancy Bobofit is the daughter of a prominent business family. Due to constant business meetings and phone calls her parents never spend time with her, leaving her feeling neglected and abandoned. She steals and acts out to get the attention of her parents. She bullies Percy because she has a crush on him and does not know how to deal with her feelings.

I raised an eyebrow. Not only was she a level above me, but she also has almost DOUBLE my Luc. She has a crush on me? I guess it makes sense why she targets me constantly. I felt bad for her honestly, I get not having a great parent, not my mom since she is amazing, but Gabe is awful. He is like a tuskless walrus that constantly smells of beer and cigarettes. I watched her face turn red slightly, I used to think she was angry when I called her that, but maybe it's because she likes me.

"I asked where the freak is Jackson. Usually, you two are joined at the hip." she hissed my last name as if it was supposed to be an insult. Let me try something. I thought to myself. I put on my most charming smile and watched with satisfaction as her cheeks turned pink slightly. "Grover is resting in my dorm. Is there something you needed Nancy?" I replied as sweetly as possible. PING!

New Skill Created!

Charm Lvl- 1 (20%)

Your smile can bring anyone to their knees! Women everywhere will fall in love with you and men shall be envious of your Godly looks!

I was astonished. That skill is going to be so useful! Charm. I said in my head as I felt the skill activate. I saw Nancy's cheeks glow bright red. "No! I, um, well, I mean, I-i'm going to go now, BYE!" She squeaked out and started power walking away. Her two friends looked at me strangely before turning around to follow their leader. I smiled and looked at charm once more.

Charm Lvl- 1 (40%)

Your smile can bring anyone to their knees! Women everywhere will fall in love with you and men shall be envious of your Godly looks!

So it went up by twenty percent. I guess it is to be expected since it's only level one. I'm sure eventually I will have to use my points to start leveling up perks once it becomes too hard to just train them. I quickly ate the rest of my food, put my tray up, and started going to the library. I walked down the rows trying to find the lowest reading level possible. As much as it stung my pride I knew the only way I could get my Modern English up was starting low then working my way up. I found a few books about children's fairy tales and started reading. After finishing the first book I heard a PING and I smirked. I pulled up my Modern English and checked the stats on it.

Modern English Lvl-2 (1%)

Due to having Dyslexia you have an extremely hard time understanding the English language. Reading Level-1
-75% in understanding what you read (+5% per level)

So it goes down five percent per level. Which means I now understand twenty-five percent of what I am being taught. So eventually I should be able to cure my dyslexia! I won't be a failure in school anymore! PING!

Due to reading and thinking logically you have gained +1 Int!

Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!. I was nearly jumping out of my seat with excitement. I could improve so much! I won't fail in school anymore. I looked around for a clock and finally found one over the checkout desk. 5:50 Pm. The library closes at 8 Pm so I could spend 2 hours in here, then check out anything I wanted to read overnight. I quickly ran around and grabbed every book I could hold in my hands, Most of them reading level 1 or 2. I sat down in a corner of the library with about 20 books of various sizes. I opened one up and began reading.

2 Hours Later

I stood up and stretched my sore limbs. It had been a very productive 2 hours. I had ignored the multiple PINGs I heard go while reading and decided to finally look at what had leveled up.

Due to reading constantly you have gained +2 Int

Modern English has leveled up!

Modern English Lvl- 4 (30%)

Due to having Dyslexia you have an extremely hard time understanding the English language. Reading Level-2
-65% in understanding what you read (+5% per level)

I smiled to myself. It was working. Despite how hard it was for me to read with each level of Modern English I found it easier to understand. Slowly but surely, words were no longer swimming around the page. I grabbed a few extra books and checked them out of the library before walking back to my dorm. I had trouble turning the knob since I had like 8 books in my arms but I managed to get inside. Grover was on the top bunk reading something, he looked shocked as he saw me shut the door. "Are those books perce?" He asked, bewildered. "They sure are Grover, I finally decided that it was time to start improving my grades," I responded heaving the heavy books onto the desk. I sat down and leaned back into the chair looking up at his smiling face. "That's amazing man, but what about your dyslexia?" "Well, I am just trying to deal with it. Maybe, if I can start to find out which words are which I will be able to deal with it easier." I told him plainly, I still was not sure if I should tell anyone about how my life was a LITERAL video game now. "It might work. I am gonna head to bed man, don't stay up too late alright?" He said putting his book down and covering up. I smiled, he really was a great friend. "I won't, just gonna do some more reading before heading to sleep." I told him before opening up a book and starting to read.

Next Morning

I woke up with a start seeing that I had unintentionally fallen asleep on my desk. I blushed slightly and wiped up a small puddle of drool before looking to see what time it was. 6:25 am. About an hour and 30 minutes until school started.

You have slept on an uncomfortable surface. Hp and Mp restored by 50%, all physical ailments and negative status effects have been cured.

PING!

Due to reading constantly you have gained +4 Int.

So me staying up until 3 am was worth it. Status, I called out in my mind.

Percy Jackson

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 whistled quietly. My intelligence was so much higher than my other stats. I decided to change that, but that was something that would have to take place after school today. I didn't want people asking me why I was suddenly exercising like my life depended on it. I pulled up Modern English to check on the progress for it.

Modern English Lvl- 7 (23%)

Due to having Dyslexia you have an extremely hard time understanding the English language. Reading Level-4
-50% in understanding what you read (+5% per level)

A small victory dance later I realized something, in the matter of a day, I had gone from understanding only 20% of what I read to 50%! Which meant my dyslexia was halfway cured. I looked over my stats once more and decided to start working on Str. For that, I started doing push-ups in the floor next to my bed. I was fine at 5, at my arms starting tingling at 10, at 15 my arms burned, and at 20 my arms gave out. I cursed slightly, irritated at how weak my body was. I would have to change that but it would take some work. Sighing, I sat on my bed when I heard a satisfying PING go off in my head.

Due to exercising you have gained +1 Str.

Str- 3(+3)=6

That was good. With the bonus I got from being a demigod my Str was generally above most other kids my age. Except for a few outliers who were just freakishly strong. I think the highest Str I had seen in a mortal so far was 8. That was on one of the kids who was basically a mini bodybuilder. Kind of makes me wonder what Str stat the strongest humans would have, like the ones who have the world deadlift records. After spending a few seconds thinking it over I got back down on the floor and decided to try and get some more exercise in. A few crunches, situps, and squats later I was covered in sweat. PING!

Due to exercising you have gained +3 Str

Str -6(+3)=9

Sitting down at my desk I finished the homework I had gotten last night for the first time in months. I smiled to myself, feeling accomplished I got ready for the day.

Later that day

Walking into my dorm I put on a hoodie and quickly walked outside. I saw the gate guard drinking coffee in his chair. If he sees me leave he will tell the principal, I can't afford to get in trouble right now. Thinking fast I reached out with my powers to the coffee next to him making it jump out of the cup and onto his lap. I heard him curse loudly as hot coffee spilled on him.

-20 Mp

PING!

Water Manipulation Lvl-2 (0%)

Due to being the Son of Poseidon, you have control over water!

Cost- 19 Mp Per Minute (-1 Mp per level)

After running my eyes over the notification I dismissed it, hiding behind the booth as the security guard angrily stalked inside, presumably to the bathroom to clean up. I pulled up my hood and hopped over the gate, dashing towards Central Park. I panted softly sitting down on a bench after reaching the park.

PING!

New Skill Created!

Running Lvl-1 (26%)

Congrats! You can run. You are as fast as the average adult male.
Speed- 5Mph(+.2 Mph Per level)

I guess I was that fast due to being a demigod. I knew that being a demigod gives you the ability to improve at a much faster rate compared to mortals, along with increased strength and stamina. I would have to improve that if I was to survive. I got up and started running towards the Hudson, that way I could level up Running, Water manipulation, as well as maybe getting a few stat points.

3 hours later

I sat along the bank of the Hudson using the water to clean all the sweat off my body, of course after purifying it as much as I could. I looked over at my notifications to check out the results of my training.

New Skill Created!

Water Purification Lvl- 1 (47%)

Using this skill allows you to purify water.
Cost -50 Mp per gallon (-1 Mp Per level)

I was sad at how much this skill cost to use. Otherwise, I would purify as much of the Hudson as I could.

Water Manipulation Lvl-4 (54%)

Due to being the Son of Poseidon, you have control over water!

Cost- 17 Mp Per Minute (-1 Mp per level)

Running Lvl-4 (76%)

Congrats! You can run. You are as fast as the average adult male.
Speed- 5.6 Mph(+.2 Mph Per level)

Due to strenuous activity, you have gained +2 Vit and +3 Dex

Vit-4(+2)=6
Dex-6(+2)=8

I moved the water back into the lake and sighed happily. I could feel myself becoming stronger and it was invigorating. Slowly but surely, I was regaining the body I had before I was sent back. I wonder what my stats were like before I fought Kronos, I doubt there is anyway for me to...

PING! #!*&^ Has granted Percy Jackson permission to view past stats!

What the actual fuck?!

My mind went blank looking over my old stats. It would take forever to get back to that! And all my skills were insane as well! Who is this mysterious person that showed me stats from a different timeline as well? The same person who gave me these new powers. Just how powerful are they to do this? I will think this over later, I need to get back to school now. I thought to myself and started jogging back to school. I was going through the forest when I saw a strange notification hovering over a pile of rocks.

You have discovered a dungeon!

Labyrinth Lvl- 5

Enter: Yes/No

Now that I think about it I remember Clarisse talking about an entrance into the labyrinth in Central Park, guess this was it. Why the hell not right? Clicking Yes a few of the stones slid away opening into a dark path. I opened my inventory and pulled out a water bottle keeping it at my side as I stalked into the hallway. After a few seconds of walking, I came upon a larger hallway. Inside were skeletons with old shields and swords. Some had raggedy armor pieces that looked hundreds of years old. "Observe" I whispered.

Skeleton Warrior

Title- Servant of Ragna

Wis- 1

Kill to get: 20 Exp, $5, ?

So despite being higher level than me, the skeleton is weaker. So level does not completely dictate strength. Good to know. I opened the water bottle and pulled the water out with my powers.

-17 Mp

I crept down the hallway, inching closer to the lone skeleton. I willed the water into a sword, the same leaf shape as Anaklusmos, and stabbed it through the chest. It died quickly and quietly. It disappeared into white smoke and left behind a sword and shield. I used Observe on the loot I got.

Iron Sword

An old iron sword dropped from the undead remains of an ancient warrior

Dmg: 50 + Str

Weight: 3 Lbs, 20/20 durability

Value- 1D

Iron reinforced Shield

An old shield with iron reinforcements

Weight: 12 Lbs, 18/20 durability

Value- 1D

I picked up the 5 Dollars and put it in my inventory. I then picked up the shield and sword. The sword was awkward to carry since it was not well balanced, and the shield was a bit heavy. I would definitely need them both to survive here though.

"Damn," I said out loud. Those are some good skills. Especially critical strike and Sword Mastery, though it would be a long time before it would reach the level it was in my old life. Feeling more confident than ever before I ran farther into the dungeon to fight more skeletons.

Five Minutes Later

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!" I screamed running away from the two dozen skeletons chasing after me. I ran as fast as I could before finally reaching the end of the hallway. Cursing I turned around and threw my shield like a frisbee knocking a few skeletons down, slowing the rest down enough for me to get out two water bottles. I pulled the water out with my powers and grinned evilly. "Hah!" I yelled and sent a thin wave of water at all the skeletons. The sharp blade of water cut through almost all the skeletons killing them instantly. I ran up to the last two and sliced off one's head. Ducking under a slash from the last skeleton I cut off its left leg making it start to fall over. I moved my sword to its neck and its head was cut clean off after falling on my iron sword. I wiped the sweat off my brow and looked at all the loot I got smiling. After gathering all the loot this is what I got.

Five points got to make them count. I thought to myself. After debating whether or not to use them immediately or not, I decided to wait to use them later. I ventured further into the dungeon, killing small parties of skeletons with my powers as well as my sword and shield combo to decimate anything in my path. I leveled up again and arrived before a set of doors, ten feet high and about six feet wide. They looked like the old wooden doors you would see on castles, reinforced with iron and large bots holding everything in place. Before stepping inside I took another glance at my loot.

Happy with the five points I had waiting to be used I pushed on the doors, and they didn't budge. Frowning I pushed with all my strength and slowly the doors slid open. A bright light suddenly flooded my vision blinding me for a second. "Hello there mortal, welcome to my arena!" A feminine voice rang throughout the large room as the doors suddenly slammed shut behind me. As my vision cleared up I cursed my luck. I stared up at the woman on her throne and muttered a phrase that perfectly summed up this whole ordeal. "Well, I'm fucked."

Authors note:

Hey guys, sorry this chapter so long. I've been getting used to working so it took me a while to get this done. I want to give my thanks to everyone who favorited and followed this story. It made my day Tuesday to look at my story and see how many people liked it with only 2 chapters! I will probably be incorporating a few perks or skills from Percy Jackson and the Game into this story since honestly some of them are pretty genius. Such as Goblins Growth so Percy reaches his prime faster, which means he gets stronger faster. Also, I will be doing something similar to the gauntlet of Kefka, where Percy can claim and summon the souls of some of his defeated foes. The next chapter will be largely fighting hopefully. I am going to listen to some music to pump me up so I can write an epic fight. Also I plan on having Percy meet the mysterious #!*&^ in a few chapters. I hope you are excited for that. Try and write your guesses in the comments for this chapter. Continue voting in the poll as well please. I will be taking votes for girls until they are introduced into the harem, Hestia will be first most likely so if you want her to be in it be sure to vote for her! Have a lovely day my amazing readers!
