Chapter 3: Percy gets an eye-full of …...
Ughhh , I groaned trying to open my eyes. Key words 'tried' to, for no sooner had I opened them even a millimeter, I cried out in agony. It felt like someone was trying to skewer it with hot pokers …. Not to mention the headache, felt like an exploding volcano … like one those infamous hangovers I've heard so many adults complain about. My muscles ached in places which I did not even know existed …. It felt like I've been trampled by a hoard of giants.
As I tried to remember exactly what had happened last night for my body to feel like this when suddenly

Hmmm, I can increase all my stats bar wisdom from grinding. Well I can level it by making good decisions but not patient enough . I mean who wants to sit down and think …. Shrudder….. to make a decision.
No thank you. Short cut here I come.
So I dumped 20 points into WIS. No sooner had I done it, I felt, like a veil has been lifted from my mind. I realized how exactly I could've have defeated the dracaenas easily without much trouble if only had u used my mind a bit better or my surroundings. A whole lot of possibilities opened up in my mind, unraveling like a sinuous serpent , un-coiling itself from a long hibernation. I just felt wow.
Talk about wise decision. Who says I'm dumb. Woot woot woot. Hell yeah oxford here I come.
WIS HAS INCREASED BY 2 FOR LOGICAL THINKING.
Wis: 30
Now that's just low. Way to mock me when I'm down … like kicking a man in the nuts when he's already suffering from diarrhea ….. or making fun of a woman for accidentally tearing her dress at the seams in public ….. oh damn this ADHD …. Why couldn't this be gone instead. T-T.
Ok enough drama Percy …. Now man up.
Lets see loot ….. wooo shiny shiny….. nooo focus Perc, focus ….. Ahem … yes loot.
I see a neat pile of golden coins, 2 books, an orb and a golden dagger.
The gold coins looked ornate and felt heavy. One side the picture of a burly man carrying some kind of a ….. errrrr ….. staff … bolt in his hands . The other side had an eagle engraved on it.
Were these real gold coins …. Wow I would be rich in a few days with just a few of these. Well ,Secure future here I come.
OBSERVE
Golden Drachmas: Made of pure gold it is the currency of the gods, they are used in the mythological world as currency. Cannot be sold in the human world in the current form.
Well there goes my college fund. This is just bullshit … pure bullshit … I tell you.
Hmm …. Wait a minute, what if I melt them into a gold bar or stick, then maybe I can sell them. This bears further thinking with a very intelligent, all knowing mentor …. Namely … the internet.
Thank you greater wisdom. A thousand kisses to whomever the deity of wisdom is.
The orb was a very pretty, warm to hold, pulsating liquid filled satin red sphere. Holding it felt like holding on freshly ripped out but still beating heart and the colour was mesmerizing …. I always did like red…. Red shirts, red paunts, rust, blood …. Okkk stopping here … no more distractions.
Observe
Soul sphere: 10 soul shards make a soul sphere. It contains a soul . can be used in healing or rituals or alchemy.
This is a special soul sphere that will grant the user a random perk and matching skill. Can be used only once.
Would you like to use it now?.
Logic says I should use it now so that I can level it up quickly…. So accept
Perk gained:
Blessings of Hades: Allows the user to use the power of the lord of the dead. Increases reputation with undead, ghosts, dark gods and Hades himself (& his brood as well) by 50%. Gain a 30% increased affinity with shadow and dark magic . Gain skill in necromancy 2x faster. Metal and gem crafting easier.
Which skill do you want to learn NOW ?
Necromancy: The divination of the dead.
Shadow sneak: travel through the shadows.
Shoton: The world is a giant crystal. Summon all gems from nearby grounds.
Metal bending: First step is earth, the next is metal. Control all nearby metals DEPENDING ON LEVEL AND SKILL.
Hmm tough choice ….
Disposable minions are nice , necromancy would guarantee that. An image comes to my mind ,"An endless army of the undead with me in the lead, wearing a horned helmet, back armor adorned with blood runes, an evil looking sword at my hip". WOW.
Shadow sneak in nice. With this I can be an unstoppable assassin killing people from their own shadows.
Shoton or crystal release … an image of me sitting on a diamond throne adorned with rubies , wearing expensive clothes surrounded by a harem , comes to my mind. ….. very tempting ….. I mean unlimited resources is nice.
Metal bending is not really my thing.
Well all things considered I chose ….
Duh necromancy ….
I mean which boy doesn't want an undead legion at his beck and call.
….ping….
Skill learned Necromancy .
NECROMANCY: level 1:
Allows the user to summon an undead minion. Can summon more at higher levels. Can reanimate corpses at higher levels.
You can learn another skill when current skill reaches level 30.
….ping….
Well that's nice. Maybe I'm not as fucked as I felt. Hmm if I increase my luck I should get better chances and loot…. Logic dictates so….. again have to experiment later.
Now the books. One of them was a grey leather covered with nice metallic golden edges with the picture of an inverted triangle while the other was a pure white leather covered book with crimson edges having a sphere embossed in it. Both looked stunning.
Let's see. The grey book was ….
You have got the skill book 'Instant dungeon'.
Would you like to learn it?
Yes No
Woot … wow now this is a very useful skill. Shame I hadn't thought about creating it before myself. I wanted to kick myself .This would give all the space needed for my training and free experience and LOOT. Heal yeah I accept.
As soon I pressed yes ,the book disappeared in a burst of red haze which was absorbed into me. I could feel as knowledge seeped into me from an invisible depository enabling me to create sub-dimensions, break out of them and even manipulate them to my will. And the power, it felt like a drug induced high.
You have learned the skill 'Instant dungeon'.
Instant dungeon: level 1
Uses 100MP per dungeon creation.
Allows the user to create a sub dimension for various purposes.
Forms: empty.
LOVELY. I will soon be a rich man ….. I could feel it in bones. Ahh all these things make me so happy …. Like chocolate, milkshake, jewels, girls …. Ahaaaaaaa ….. FOO…CUS Percy… focus.
The second book turned out to be even better. It was a healing skill. I accepted it without blinking.
Divine Ocean heal: level 1

Heals 50HP,50MP,all status effects, diseases and minor curses (without soul shards).

This is … this is a goldmine. A totally BS skill . But I'm not complaining. I immediately used it a few times until my hp and mp were fully restored and presto.
Divine Ocean heal has gained a level.
Divine Ocean heal: level 2

I knew I was going to abuse the hell out of this healing skill. Booyeah … .
Well there goes my skill list and now I will head home. Yup a hot bath with a nice steaming mug of coffee (of course decaff, I've too much energy as it was) sounds nice.
Now only if I could remember the way home. Hmmmmmmmmmm….
