Last Time~
"There are some timelines where he surpasses your power by many multitudes, there is one where you are even his mother, then he goes to an alternate universe and takes you as a wife. Well, you from that universe at least. Another is where he is a strange entity with no memory of his past. But at the same time vastly older than you and more powerful than you are. Somewhere he has similar powers to the ones I gave my dear champion. There is even one where he ends up making love to the entire hunt!" The entity said the last one with a slight laugh. Chaos leaned back in her chair. "So there really is a multiverse, with truly endless possibilities…" She said quietly. The brown-eyed deity reached over and placed a calming hand on her shoulder. "Worry not child. It is none of your concern. You should never even have to deal with dimension jumpers. Although if you do, I am sure your forces or my champion could deal with them." He said. She nodded, relaxing slightly. "Well then, let us get back to our show." The strange god said, leaning back into his own seat. Once more focusing his attention on the massive flat screen in front of him.
Now~
I decided to head to the camp armory. After seeing the dual-wielding skill on that skill scroll, it gave me the idea to try some things I had not in my previous life. It took a few minutes but I finally managed to reach it. It was a decent-sized shed, probably about 20x25. More than big enough to store weapons for a small force. I opened the creaky door and turned on the light inside so I could see. I used Observe on everything I saw. After 10 minutes of continuous use of Observe it leveled up twice, and I only ended up finding a few things of note.
Observe Lvl- 9 (23%)
Celestial Bronze Katana
This sword was used by a Greek demigod of Japanese descent in the early 1900s. With incredible sharpness and excellent balance this blade was able to even cleave through celestial bronze armor.
Damage- 400
Durability- 232390/250000
Crossbow
This old-fashioned crossbow is enchanted to fire explosive celestial bronze bolts. The bolts can be fitted with small concussive blasts or even greek fire.
Celestial Bronze Bolt- 600 Dmg
Explosive Bolt- 400 Dmg + 200 AOE Dmg
Greek Fire Bolt- 400 Dmg + 400 Dmg Per second(until Extinguished)
Mana Pistol
This is a desert eagle made of lightweight celestial bronze, that utilizes the user's mana to form bullets of different metals. 9 round capacity at .357 Magnum
FMJ- 20 Mp Per Clip
Celestial Bronze- 30 Mp Per Clip
Imperial Gold(explosive)- 60 Mp Per Clip
Enchanted Silver- 100 Mp Per Clip
(Enchanted Silver is deadly to all beings, mortal or immortal)
FMJ- 200 Dmg
Celestial Bronze- 500 Dmg
Imperial Gold- 400 Dmg + 300 Explosive Dmg
Enchanted Silver- 700 Dmg
Out of those three the mana pistol had to be my favorite. I mean come on! Who the hell doesn't want a freaking desert eagle! Rummaging around a little more I actually found a lone silencer that fit it. Throwing the silencer into my inventory I turned on the safety and stuck the pistol in my jeans, covering up the grip with my shirt. It was definitely uncomfortable but it will do until I get a holster. I hope I am good with this pistol, since my archery skill is abysmal right now. I thought to myself, taking a look at my archery skill.
Archery Lvl- 1 (23%)
While you might originally have had some talent in archery, that was completely ruined by a curse Apollo placed on all of Poseidon's sons after the incident with Orion. You are just lucky you have this skill, that way you can eventually become the best!
Accuracy- 2% (+2% per level, boosted by Expert Marksman)
While I am definitely grateful for Expert Marksman boosting all long-ranged skills, Apollo is definitely on my shit list this time. I was walking around camp, trying to think about what to do for strength training, when I bumped into Beckendorf. "Hey Percy, you should watch where you are going." The giant of a man said. I rubbed the back of my neck and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry man, I was just thinking," I replied.
"About what? If you don't mind me asking." He asked in his usual gruff voice. "Well, I am kind of worried about capture the flag tomorrow, I have been doing some training by myself, but I do not know if I am strong enough to face the Ares cabin." I lied.
Lie Successful!
"Hmm, I can't think of anything that I could do personally. But if you ever need any armor or weapons, I'll make it for the right price." He said before he started to walk off. Then I suddenly got an idea. "Wait a second Beckendorf," I told the master smith. He turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Could you make weighted arm and ankle bands?" I asked him. He looked thoughtful for a few seconds before nodding. "Shouldn't be too hard. Anything specific for them?" He asked. "Could they change weight on command?" I questioned. He nodded. "I suppose we could do that. It is going to cost extra though." He replied. "How much?" I asked, putting my hand in my pocket, getting ready to pull out some drachma. "Ten Drachma, and it will be done by tomorrow." He stated the price. "I'll give you fifteen if you make it tonight." "Deal," he said and I handed him fifteen drachma.
Money- $1,255/15D
He walked off after pocketing the money and I resumed my walk through camp. I drifted towards the beach where I saw a couple kids sitting on the beach. They were just staring out at the ocean while talking. The longer I looked at them I started feeling… something. It was like a void that sucked in happiness. Like a black hole sucking in light.
PING!
You have gained two new skills!
Hope Sensing Lvl- Max
This allows you to sense another person's level of hope.
Hope Instillation Lvl- Max
As the champion of Hestia you now have the ability to instill hope into other beings. Especially when there is a distinct lack of hope.
Cost- 10 Mp per minute/ Per person
"Sad isn't it?" A feminine voice came from next to me. I turned my head to see a familiar 12-year-old Hestia next to me. She was gazing at the children sadly. "It is. I understand that gods have their duties. But you would think that they cared enough to even just claim their children." I told her. "Some see it as pointless. They are called minor gods after all. Their children will still be in my nephew's cabin. Some do not even know they have children." She replied. I shook my head in disappointment. "They are anything but minor. Iris for instance has a job as important as Hermes himself. Relaying messages to the entire godly world. Nemesis keeps the balance, even among the gods. Charon ferries mortal souls to the underworld. Styx keeps and upholds all promises on her name. Those are important jobs that require a lot of effort. There is nothing minor about them." I told her, anger present in my voice.
She placed her hand on my shoulder, causing me to relax. She gave me a small smile, with a kind of pride and sadness in her eyes. "I know, and I agree. But there is nothing we can do. Not for them, or their children." She said sadly. I shook my head. "You are wrong. There is nothing you can do, but there is something I can do." I told her and walked over to the three kids. One girl had black hair and brown eyes, the other girl had blonde hair and blue eyes. The boy with them was black-haired with golden-brown eyes.
"Hello." I greeted them. The blonde in the middle gave a wide smile. "Hey, you are Percy Jackson, right? I saw your fight against Luke, that was epic!" She said excitedly. I gave her a smile. "Yeah, I am. What are your names?" I asked them. The black-haired girl was the next to answer. "I am Emma Convington, This is Angelina Smith and Jason Abrams." The now introduced Emma told me. "It's nice to meet you. Can I ask you three a question?" I asked. "It's nice to officially meet you too Percy. Ask away." Jason told me. "Do you know who your godly parents are?" I asked them. I immediately felt their hope drop even more, as Angelina shook her head. Activating Hope Instillation I put 60 mana into trying to make them feel better. Thankfully it worked as they lifted their heads to look at me.
"We were never claimed by our parents." Emma told me sadly. I got on my knees in front of them and leaned back on my heels. "Would you like to know?" I asked gently. "Of Course we would! But our parents don't care enough about us!" Jason said bitterly. Angelina grabbed his arm and squeezed it. "Jason! Don't say that. I'm sure they do, they have their own duties to attend to. But yes, he is correct. I would love to know who my mother is." Angelina told me. I smiled at them. "What would you say if I knew a way to find out who your parents are?" I asked. "I would call you a liar, but you have an honest soul, that much I can tell. So tell us, how do we find out who our parents are?" Emma asked. I was shocked for a second. She could tell what my soul looked like? That gave me a good hint as to who her parent was.
"Give me your hand Emma." I told her holding out my own hand. She raised an eyebrow at me and gave me her hand. I gently held her soft hand in my own and discreetly activated Observe making it look like I was concentrating on her hand.

Description- Emma Convington is the daughter of Austin Covington, a doting father who did everything he could to make her happy and have a good life, until he died in a car crash two years ago. Since then Emma has lived at camp, wondering who and where her mother was. She is hopeful that Percy can tell her who her mother is.
Well shit man, that really sucks. I hope knowing who her mother is will end up making her life better. I thought to myself. I looked up at her and smiled fondly. "Your mother is Psyche, Goddess of the human soul." I told her. Her eyes showed shock, and recognition. "There is not way you know-." Jason started but stopped as a symbol appeared above Emma's head. It was an eye. Like the third eye you see in tv shows. I guess that is a representation of the soul. I heard a choking sound and looked back at Emma to see her crying uncontrollably. I was about to ask what was wrong before she launched herself at me, crying into my shoulder. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." She repeated over and over again. I smiled and held her as she calmed down. Thirty seconds later she was back in her previous spot on the sand with a bright smile on her face. "Thank you so much Percy." She said wiping a few tears off her face.
"See I told you Jason! Our parents do care!" Angelina exclaimed to Jason. I could feel hope burn bright in them both, welling up like a roaring tsunami. I held out my hands to them both and they placed their hands in mine. I used Observe on them both.

Description- Angelina Smith's father, Robert Smith, is a clear-sighted mortal who knows his daughter is a demigod. Due to owning his own construction business, he is often away for months at a time. During his time away he sends his only daughter to camp where she will stay safe. Angelina is elated that Percy is able to tell who a demigod's parents are, and hopes to find out about her own mother.
Hot Damn! That is some insane luck. I would expect nothing less from a Daughter of Tyche, goddess of luck and fortune. I said in my head.

Description- Jason Abrams never knew his mortal father, who had died when he was young. He was in an orphanage when a satyr had found him at a young age and brought him to camp. He has been living here basically alone ever since. Not having many friends. Jason is nervous about finding out who his mother is.
I smiled at them both. "Angelina your mother is Tyche, Jason your mother is Nemesis." I told them. Their eyes lit up with joy as two symbols appeared above their heads. A cornucopia for Angelina, and a scale for Jason. Angelina wrapped her arms around me just like Emma did and Jason furiously wiped away his own tears. "Thank you so much. Oh my gods! We have to tell the others!" Jason said and grabbed my hand, yanking me up. "Come on you two!" Jason yelled, getting the girls into action. Jason dragged me along. We came upon the entirety of the hermes cabin in the arena, along with some kids from Athena, Aphrodite, Ares, Hephaestus, and Apollo. In total there were about 70 Demigods filling up about half the arena. They all stared at us as we ran in, the Ares cabin giving me dirty looks. Luke looked at us strangely. "Jason, Angelina, Emma. You three are skipping sword classes again huh? And Percy. You have been skipping almost all your classes. Where have you four been?" Luke asked, Staring us down. Jason seemed to be unfazed by the accusatory stare. "That does not matter right now! We know who our parents are!" A collective 'WHAT' echoed throughout the arena. The other thirteen unclaimed kids ran forward. "How did you find out?" A small boy asked. Jason, having let go of my hand when we got here, pointed at me. "He told us! At first I thought he was crazy but then all three of us got claimed!" Jason said excitedly. The entire arena looked at me expectantly.
I nodded. "It's true, I can tell all thirteen of you your parents. Just give me your hands." I told them. And just as I said, I told each of them their parents.

The entire arena watched with awe as a symbol appeared above the heads of every demigod whose parent I named. Some said it was a trick, a mist illusion. But the obvious rise in power output by the claimed demigods put that thought to rest. I looked up at luke, who had a mixture between respect and anger in his eyes. I gave him a knowing smile which seemed to shake him up a bit. I continued staring into his eyes until I noticed a tiny bead of sweat drop from his forehead. I looked back down at the previously unclaimed demigods swarming me, giving their thanks. The youngest of the group, Carmen Golding, grabbed my hand and gave me a bright smile. "You're our hero!" She said with the adorable voice of an excited young girl. Her eyes shining with admiration and hope. From the children who could easily be identified with the least amount of hope, they were now shining beacons of it in my vision. Other than Alabaster Torrington. Whom I doubted would stay with us, as his hatred for the gods runs much deeper than being ignored.
PING!
New Title Aqcuired: Hero of the Unclaimed!
Hero of the Unclaimed- The previously unclaimed demigods give their undying loyalty to you, as you were the one who showed them their parents do in fact love them. You have have given them something nobody else could have, and for that they are eternally grateful. You have a boosted reputation with all demigods in Camp Half Blood, and they are more likely to trust you now.
I smiled internally at the new title I gained. I didn't care about a reward, I just could not stand to see them so sad. I knew how it felt, wondering if your absent parent cared about you. Whether they considered you a mistake, if they hated you. It was a crushing feeling for a child to have. Now they know their parents do care. "I'm no hero, I just hated to see you all sad like that. I know how it feels to wonder who your godly parent is. To wonder if they love you. Now you all know that they do pay attention to you, and that they do love you." I said, addressing them all. Carmen hugged my arm. "Thank you." She said one final time.
"Alright everyone, let's get back to sword fighting lessons. Percy, are you joining us this time?" Luke asked, giving me a weary stare, though he hid it well. "Sure, why not." I said, bringing out Riptide. So for the next hour I trained against Luke, once more improving my sword skills.
That Night In a Dream
I sat at a large round table. In a well lit room that reminded me of some of the older Victorian Era dining rooms. Nothing too fancy, but not plain either. "Hello Perseus." I heard from behind me. I stood up and turned around. Seeing some people I never expected to meet.
"Well hello Lady Nemesis."
