Chapter 330

Percy nodded, "I see…..hey Percy," the little kid turned to look at him,

"how would you like to run away from this place."

For a moment a spark of happiness went through the kid's eyes. A

strong and warm gust of wind blew through the forest almost like it was

reacting to the kids happiness. But just as quickly as it started it ended.

The son of Pan looked down, "no, I can't. Even if I did I wouldn't have

anywhere to go."

"Well you could come with me," Percy said, "there's a place for people

like us, a camp. If you want I can take you there."

"Wait, what? People like us? What do you mean?"

Percy blinked before realisation dawned on him, "oh yeah! I haven't

told you yet have I?"

"Told me what?" Little Percy started to look weary now.

'Is he nervous?' Percy wondered, 'of course he's nervous, why wouldn't

he be? A strange guy just showed up one day asked him about his life

history and then offered to kidnap him….wow I sound like a weirdo.'

"Well you see little Percy I am technically your….ah...let's see here Pan

is Hermes's kid, Hermes is Zeus's kid, which would make Hermes my

cousin...ah… oh forget this! I'm your cousin, there, let's keep this

simple."

"Wait, you're my cousin?!"

Percy nodded, "yup, on your dad's side."

"You know my dad?!" Little Percy jumped up and was on his feet, "who

is he?! Where is he?!"

Percy shrugged, "I don't know where he is, no one does. But I do know

who he is. His name is Pan, the greek God of the Wild."

Little Percy blinked, "my dad….is a god?"

Percy nodded, "yup. And that makes you a demigod kid."

The child of Pan looked at Percy in amazement, "bu-but that's

impossible! I can't be a-be a God!"

"I said demigod kid," Percy repeated, "there's a big difference between

a god and a demigod. And yeah, you are. Tell me mini me, have you

ever felt...I don't know, different? Like does words confuse you? Have

you ever felt unhappy sitting in one place, away feeling like you needed

to jump around and do thing?"

Little Percy's eyes went wide as he nodded, "yeah but I was told that

was because I was, dys-dys, ah dys-"

"Dyslexic, yeah we all are," Percy said sighing, "it's both a curse and a

blessing, believe me, one time I mistook dog for god and believe me I

pissed off a lot of people because of that."

"B-but I can't be-wait, my dad is goat?!"

"Half goat," Percy explained, "he's basically a Satyr, half man, half

goat. A little more on the goat than man, and I should know, I had one

for a roommate for a year but did that guy smell like wet goat a lot."

"But how do you know I'm a demigod?"

Percy shrugged, "it's a gift i got from my dad,"

Lie successful!

"Basically I can sense out people like us and tell who their godly

parents are."

"But how I be a demigod?" Little Percy asked still skeptical, "I can

barely beat off my cousins!"

Percy sighed, "there's a lot more to beginning a demigod than just

being able to kick ass, sure it's a huge part of it, but still just a part. And

as for proof…..well let's see, son of Pan so….. Ah ha! Okay how about

this, have you ever felt connected to the forest? Like does being in one

make you stronger?"

Little Percy thought about it for a few second before nodding, "yeah, I

do. Plus I some times when I hide in here Justin and Greg can't find

me, sometime I'm right in front of them and they can't see me!"

Percy nodded, "that's your divine side protecting you mini me. Your dad

was the lord of the Wild, so places like this would in fact help you

because it is part of your domain."

"Cool," the other Percy said with stars in his eyes, "wait, are you a

demigod Percy?"

Percy smiled and nodded, "yup," he got to his feet and slowly pulled all

the water from the air towards himself forming a trident, "I'm Percy

Jackson, son of Poseidon."

Little Percy was practically drooling at the sight of the water trident,

"that is so cool!"

Percy smiled and released the water weapon, "so mini me, tell me, do

you want to come with me and see the rest of the family?"

"There are more of us?!" He asked excitedly bouncing on his feet, "how

many?!"

"Around 100 or so," Percy said trying to remember, "but probably

more."

"And you guys would let me join? Just like that?! And I don't have to

pay anything"

Percy nodded, "yup, you are family after all."

The moment Percy called the child family it looked like he would die

from happiness. He looked up at Percy and nodded, "I want to come

with you! But...my aunt and uncle probably won't let me."

Percy smiled, "they can try, but I doubt they could stop me."

"I don't know, my uncle is a pretty good lawyer," Percy said before

sighing, "he wouldn't let me go and do anything fun. And my aunt

would freak out if she even thought I was leaving town."

Percy scratched his chin, "hey Percy, do you actually like them? Your

aunt and uncle I mean?"

Little Percy shook his head, "no, my uncle doesn't like me and my

aunt's mean. My mom was got all my grandpa's cash, and after she

died it went to my aunt on the condition she could only use it if she was

taking care of me. So she kinda puts up with me, but no I don't like her

at all."

Percy nodded and for the first time noticed the kids clothes, it was very

fancy looking and looked like it was made out of very expensive

material.

"Okay then kid, want to run away with me?" Percy asked with a smile.

"But my aunt-"

"Relax mini me, I doubt your aunt and uncle can do anything when it

comes to us. We demigods have the Gods backing us up, and you are

extra special, you have the entire wildlife backing you up."

Little Percy's eyes sparkled again with hope, "you're serious? This isn't

a joke right? You'll take me away from them?"

Percy smiled, "yup."

Immediately the little boy tackled Percy and enveloped him in a hug.

"Thank you," he whispered.

Percy smiled and patted the boy on the back, "no problem kid. Now,"

he broke the hug, "do you have anything you want to take with you?

Anything at all?"

Little Percy looked thoughtful before his eyes light up, "yeah, I have a

few things I want to take."

Percy nodded, "okay then, let's go to your house. You go in and start

packing up, I'll be waiting outside. Grab what you need and get out of

there without anyone looking."

The kid nodded, "right, but ah, how are we getting to this camp?"

Chapter 331

Percy smiled, "leave that to me, oh and before we start," Percy said as

he placed a hand over the kid's bruised eye. He then activated his

healing skills and used 500 Mp to heal up all the wounds the kid

received.

"Wow!" Percy said blinking his eyes repeatedly, "you can heal people?!

What else can you do?"

Percy smiled, "kid I could make you a list."

The two Percy's then walked out of the forest heading towards town.

They quickly walked towards the residential area filled with rows of

houses that looked identical to one another. Personally Percy hated it,

and the way little Percy grumbled at the sight of them told him that he

hated it as well.

They walked to the 14th house on the right, it looked the same as all

the others, Percy didn't really know how little Percy knew that this one

was the right now.

"My room is up there," the son of Pan pointed to the window on the roof

to the right, "and I think my aunt's home so if I go in there and she sees

me, she might start lecturing me again. I kind of ran away in the middle

of breakfast."

PErcy nodded, "sneaking in isn't a problem," Percy then picked up the

little kid with one arm and jumped high enough to clear the ground floor

and reach the roof.

"This is so cool!" Little Percy shouted.

"Quite mini me!" Percy hissed as he slid down the roof and reached the

window. He then pushed just enough of his earthquake vibrations into

the window frame to loosen the latch on it causing it to swing open.

Percy entered the room and dropped the son of Pan off. "Just give me

a second and I'll get everything," Little Percy said as he grabbed his

bag and began flying through the room picking up things left and right.

While he was doing that Percy looked around the room. The kid didn't

have anything unique in his room, it just looked so bland and boring.

There weren't any pictures up, no photos, no books. There was

nothing, except one small table and a bed.

"I'm ready," little Percy said.

Percy looked over his shoulder in surprise, "that was fast. What did you

bring?"

"A few clothes, some cash and this," he opened his arms revealing a

small potted plant inside, "my aunt and uncle were very strict about

how my room could look and be, I didn't really have much to be

attached to, but I have this. They wanted me to get rid of it, but I hide it

away from them."

Percy smiled, "well you are a son of Pan, it would be insulting if you

didn't have a plant with you. Anyway, you sure you don't want anything

else?"

The boy nodded, "I have everything I need."

"Do you want to write a note or something? I know you hate them but

they deserve to know where you are."

Pan's son shook his head, "they wouldn't care. All they would want is

the money, if I just leave out of the blue they might get into trouble with

the police or something. Maybe then they might get what's coming to

them."

Percy smiled, "okay then," the then opened his inventory and enlarged

it, "you may want to close your eyes for this part."

The son of Pan nodded and quickly closed his eyes. Percy picked him

up and put him into his inventory for safe keeping, now he didn't have

to drag the kid along when he went to Las Vegas.

Percy jumped out of the window and ran away from the house. Once

he was sure no one saw him Percy slid up his goggle, activated his

helmet and immediately took off again. With his stomach half full Percy

knew he had just enough energy to travel to LV as he quickly left the

edge of Utah running into the center of the state.

It took another hour but by 10 in the morning Percy had reached Las

Vegas.

The city was….. Disappointing to say the least. Everything just looked

tired and worn out. Maybe it was because it was 10 in the morning, but

no one really seemed all that festive. The attractions were interesting,

but Percy was offended by the fake Lady Liberty, as a New Yorker he

knew the real on and this one was just a cheap knock off.

Percy spent an hour walking around and munching on any road side

food he could get his hands on. He asked for directions for the Lotus

hotel and casino and mostly got wrong directions, the middle finger or

in one case got asked out by a prostitute….yeah, that last one was not

an experience he wanted to share.

Eventually though Percy found the Lotus Hotel and casino, it looked

just like an ordinary hotel, but there was something about it that pissed

Percy off. Using his newly acquired mana scene PErcy tried to feel out

what type of magic was going on in there;

Mind manipulation charm,

A charm placed on all those who enter to never want to leave. It is

activated by $% #$ #$% and traps the user inside forever.

Percy raised an eyebrow at this. Guess he needed to increase his

Mana sense level to find out more about the charm. But either way

Percy wasn't really all that bothered, since their magic was meantal

based it wouldn't effect him thanks to the Gamer's mind skill.

Percy quickly entered the casino and immediately he was assaulted by

a barrage of lights and colours. The inside of the casino looked like a

never ending party with lights and music assaulting Percy's scenes. It

was the exact opposite to the quiet city just outside it's door.

Just then a man in a well dressed suit walked up to Percy and smiled,

"as our honored guest! We have your room ready sir, just come this

way and-"

"Yeah shut up, your mental manipulations won't work on me asshole,"

Percy cut the man off, "I'm here looking for someone, well two

someones, two kids that has been here since the 1940's, have you

seen them?"

Chapter 332

The man shook his head, "I'm afraid I do not know what you mean sir.

But you are welcome to check around if you wish, in fact here," he

gave Percy a green casino card, "this will grant you unlimited access to

the ballroom and gaming area. Why don't you look around? I'm sure

you'll find your friends around here somewhere."

Percy nodded accepting the card, "thanks man, you're alright. Sorry

about calling you an asshole before."

"It's quite alright sir, please enjoy your stay," the man then bowed and

walked away leaving Percy alone. PErcy looked at his card and used

Observe;

Lotus Cash Card,

This card may be used as a debit card anywhere.

Money contained within- Infinite.

Percy's eyes nearly threatened to pop out of his eyes. He use this Mist

control to try and check whether the Mist was playing games with him,

but no, it was true. The card had infinite money, and now it was

Percy's.

'I am so going to spoil mom with this thing,' Percy told himself as he put

the card in his jacket and walked around the place searching for Nico

and Bianca.

The Hotel itself was huge, it was around 20 stories tall, and more

seemed to be on the way. There was an indoor water slide that Percy

so wanted to try along with a bungee rope bridge in the lobby. The real

attraction though was the huge buffet located near Gaming room.

Percy's eyes widened in wonder, they was so much of them, so many

different types of food! Percy went super speed and began stuffing his

face full of every type of food he could get, the Mcdonald's was

wearing off already.

Percy had eaten 12 pizza pies, 13 apple pies, 23 vanilla milkshakes,

40 boxes of chicken nuggets and one plate of salad. What? He wanted

to be healthy.

The food also didn't seem to be running out, it just kept coming and

coming and Percy ate until he was full. The other guests didn't even

look at him funny, they seemed like they weren't bothered, which suited

Percy just fine.

'Damn I spent a lot of time eating already,' Percy thought out as he

looked to his watch, which was suddenly now working, again. 'That's it

I need a new watch. Maybe I can get the Hephaestus kids to make me

one.'

After Percy ate his fill he opened up his inventory and spent the next

hour stuffing it full of food. 'This is heaven!' Percy thought to himself as

he pulled more and more food into his inventory, he decided that if he

ever ran low on food ever again he should totally come here, it was so

worth the four hour run.

Soon Percy's inventory was filled with enough food to last any normal

human 2 years. Percy then finally drew himself away from the buffet

and went to the Gaming room where it seemed a lot of the people were

gathered.

Percy activated his 8.0 Eyesight and began searching the room for

Nico and Bianca. He focused on short people, after all they were

supposed to be 12 and 10. Percy's eyes flew through the room but

there were just too many people, he needed to do something else.

"NICO? BIANCA?!" Percy began shouting at the top of his voice as he

walked along the gaming room. He shouted for hours but he never got

a response. Eventually though PErcy decided to take a break and

leaned on the wall looking across the room for any sign of the children

of Hades.

Just then Percy's eyes were suddenly drawn towards an empty coming

counsel sitting right in front of him. Percy approached the machine

cautiously and looked at the title, 'My Like if a Video Game.'

Percy wanted to chuckle at the name for the game, 'sorry man my life

already is a video game.' Percy walked away from the counsel and

began his search again, it had been at least an three hours since he

came in here and he had nothing to show for it.

PErcy eventually felt like giving up when suddenly he had an idea. If

they were the children of Hades that meant they probably could control

the shadows. So all Percy had to do is use his man scent and feel for

people with that ability!

Percy immediately closed his eyes and activated Gamer's mind

drowning out the sound form the roo. He reached out with his mana

sense skill and spread it outwards. It went out like a sonar wave and a

huge barrage of information came back to Percy.

Ping!

A new skill has been created!

Mana wavesense , Lv-1 - A wave of mana is sent outwards

allowing you to feel the area around you like a sonar. Cost - 200

MP

It seemed the air itself was infected with the mind manipulation charm

and that the gaming console everyone was playing was the thing that

finally trapped a person here. Percy could also feel a variety of different

demigods inside the casino, some where children of Apollo, others

were children of Athena, but one….one felt unique, almost like Percy

knew that scent of mana.

Percy eyes opened wide as he quickly turned to that familiar scent of

mana and found a man standing in front of him over a billiards table

playing with other people. Percy looked at the man's name and title;

Jonathan Filius, Son of Poseidon

Lv- 28

Percy's eyes shot open, 'another son of Poseidon?! How the hell is this

guy alive?!' Percy looked at the man and noticed he looked old, around

his late 20's to say the least. The man also was dressed like an

american soldier during world war 2, meaning this man had been

trapped in here the same time as Nico and Bianca!

Percy then looked around, there were so many demigod inside this

place. A daughter of Hermes that looked like he came right out of the

60's, a son of Ares dressed up like a punk with a purple mohawk, a

daughter of Demetre that resembled someone from the late 1920's, a

son of Hecate that looked like he was part of a biker gang.

They all were trapped in here, most were around Percy's age, a few

older like his….his brother.

'I need to get them out of here,' Percy realised, 'I need to get them all

out of here. But….but if I do then will they survive? The world outside

has changed so much….would they be able to adapt?...should I even

try? No! No! I cannot be the judge on this, I will not! They will decided,

I'll take them back to camp, if they don't want to stay and wish to come

back to the casino then fine, but I will give them that choice.'

Chapter 333

So Percy moved, he activated his super speed and grabbed every

single one of the demigod he could find. He first grabbed his half

brother Jonathan and threw him into the inventory. He quickly ran

through the game room floor and grab each and every demigod he

could and then dropped them into his inventory.

Percy had collected a total of 21 new demigod, not including little

Percy, but he still wasn't done.

"Stop right there!" A security gaurd called out as several started to

chase after Percy.

"Oh bite me," Percy mummered as he poured mana into his crystal and

summoned Zed, Timmy and Craig. The monsters looked at Percy for

orders, "distract them, I need to get something."

The three nodded and they launched into battle with the security

guards, who were actually monsters in disguise. The moment the battle

started the monsters shed of their skins and revealed a huge plant like

body underneath. Roots and vines made up their muscles while tree

barks made up their bones.

"This is going to be fun!" Timmy said as he formed blades out of the

wind.

"Finally I get someone who like to talk!" Zed cried out, "this one," he

pointed at Craig, "doesn't like to banter."

"I simply have less to say," Craig grumbled out as the three jumped into

battle with the plant monsters.

Percy zoomed across the floor sending wave after wave of mana to

sense Nico and Bianca. Finally he got a hit, he felt something cold and

dark, two somethings in fact. Percy turned to one corner of the room

and saw two children at the corner playing chess.

'Chess?...Well I suppose that fits, after all they wouldn't' know what a

videogame is,' Percy ran and stopped right in front of them drawing

both their attentions away from the board and to him.

"Can we help you?" The girl asked. She looked around 12 and had

olive skin like PErcy. She and her brother both had black hair and black

eyes, and both wore very old clothes. Nico had a pair of slack with

suspender on over a coat while his sister wore a red dress with a scarf

around her neck.

"Yeah, I'm here to get you both out of this place," Percy said as the two

siblings slowly got of their seats.

"Really? You don't seem like the lawyer we talked to before," Bianca

said suspicious.

"Oh who cares," Nico groaned, "it's been forever since we left!"

"Don't exaggerate Nico, it's only been a month"

"A month? Sigh, we'll deal with that later. Look I'm a friend of your

dad's" PErcy explained, "well not friend, I'm just doing a favour for

him."

"You know our dad?" Nico asked with his eyes sparkling, "who is he?"

"It's a long story kid, look I just need you two to come with me," Percy

said looking around to see Zed cut one of the flower guards into

pieces, "now."

"No hold on just a minute, we will not be going anywhere with you

unless-"

"-I don't have time for this!" Percy yelled out as he grabbed Bianca and

carried her like a bride. He opened his inventory and threw her inside

before turning to Nico.

"What did you do to my sister?!" Nico shouted as he charged Percy

with fists clenched trying to hurt him.

"Relax kid she's safe," Percy said catching both of Nico's fists and

lighting him up, "and now your turn."

"Get off! I demand you get off me!" Nico yelled out but Percy ignored

him throwing him into the inventory and closing it.

Percy then turned to his servants, "it's time to go!"

"Right!" They responded as they dissolved into smoke and entered

Percy's gem.

Percy then turned around and took off in a breakneck pace past the

Gaming room and through the Casino entrance.

Percy stopped the moment he reached outside, it was night time.

Percy looked at his watch and saw that it was working again. It was

around 9 in the night, Percy had been trapped in there for more than 11

hours!

'Maybe it's some kind of time manipulation charm,' Percy wondered as

he looked back to see whether he was followed, he wasn't, he got out

scott free.

Percy sighed in relief and then began to walk out into the Vegas night.

The city was so much different from just 11 hours ago, there were lights

on everywhere and people were out and about dressed up in their

best.

Percy was amazed at all he saw, it almost made him want to enter a

real casino and try out his luck, but he had a mission to complete.

Maybe he would come here for his birthday or something.

Percy smiled and put on his goggles activating his helmet, he had to

admit, this thing was kid of growing on him. He then activated his super

speed and zoomed out of the city leaving the lights behind.

It took three hours of constant running for him to get hungry again. This

time he chose a Taco Bell to get something to eat and after the quick

pit stop he continued his run. He reached camp at 1 in the night, and

immediately went to the Big House to find someone, anyone to help

him out with the extra demigods he had brought with him.

Percy stopped running in front of the porch and quickly entered the big

building. He looked round and found the War room's door was slightly

ajar. 'They must be having a meeting,' Percy realised as he quickly

walked into the room pushing open the door.

The room immediately stopped all talking and all turned to face Percy.

Percy saw all the head counselors there, including Chiron, Dionysus

and an awake Thalia.

"Percy, your back!" Annabeth cheered as she ran up and hugged

Percy.

"Wow, I wasn't' gone that long was I?" Percy asked as he tried to

avoiding thinking about the way Annabeth's boobs were pressed up

against him.

"I was worried, we tried to Iris message you but couldn't get through,"

Annabeth explained breaking the hug.

"Hey man," Travis and Connor Stool stood up and hugged Percy next,

"we thought you were in trouble or something."

"No, nothing bad happened, I just ran into some unexpected trouble,"

Percy said hugging both the brothers before turning to Chiron, "heya

teacher, fancy seeing you here."

Chiron smiled, "get over here Percy."

Percy smiled and quickly went and tightly hugged his old teacher, "it's

good to have yo back Chiron, you wouldn't believe how much of a nut

case your replacement was."

"Oh I have an idea," Chiron said grining, "something about him crazy,

right Lord Dionysus?"

The Olympian huffed, "whatever. Now, I heard you had some kind of

self imposed quest Peter Johnson, care to share?"

Percy raised an eyebrow, "didn't Annabeth tell you Lord Dionysius?"

"I didn't know whether you wanted me to tell them or not," Annabeth

explained, "considering the nature of the problem."

"Right, well it all started yesterday night when I received a message

from Hades, he needed a favour from me."

"You did that God a favour?!" A sharp voice through. Percy turned and

saw Thalia walk upto to him with a smell of ozone flowing off her.

Chapter 334

"What's with the hostility sparky? You know people usually wait until I

say something to them before, they get pissed of."

"Hades is the reason I got turned into a fucking tree," Thalia narrowed

her eyes, "and don't call me sparky."

"Right, forgot about the whole tree thing. Well I did do him a favour, but

it wasn't for him, it was for his kids," Percy said as the two stared each

other down, Percy was much shorter than Thalia, but his presence was

stronger than hers. Now that he looked closely Percy realised the girl

was even prettier awake. He hair was spiked and all over the place and

the blue highlights really matched her electric blue eyes. Her thighs

looked like they were going to tear her jeans, and the way her legs kept

going on and on…., 'okay, I have a problem.'

"Wait, kids?" Lee Fletcher asked, "Hades had kids? As in plural?"

Percy turned away from Thalia and nodded, "he had two kids, a girl

and a boy."

"Great, just what we need, more annoying brats," Dionysus said

finishing his drink in swing, "it's time like this when I wish I could still

drink."

"Where are they Percy? Did you mage to get them?" Annabeth asked.

Percy nodded, "yeah, I got them. Well…..more like kidnapped them. I

didn't really have time to explain to them what was going on, so I just

tossed them into my storage space and moved on."

"Storage space?" Selina asked confused, "what do you mean?"

Percy sighed, "right, you guy's don't know. Well it doesn't matter now,

Kronos and his army knows, there's no point keeping my powers a

secret from you guys any more. Annabeth could you explain, I'm

exhausted."

"Percy has a unique power," Annabeth explained letting Percy sit down

and relax, "it allows him to create unique pocket dimensions."

"Pocket dimensions?" Thalia asked surprised, "what the hell are

those?"

"It's when a large amount of space is folded into itself so that it only

occupies a small amount of space in our world," Chris Benkendorf

spoke up.

Annabeth nodded, "right, and Percy has access to different kinds. He

has one in which he puts and carries everything he owns, sometimes

he can even carry people in it."

"He saved my life using that trick," Clarisse spoke up as she slammed

her hand on Percy's back, "I still owe you for that water brain."

Percy smiled and Annabeth continued, "he calls this pocket dimension

of his 'The Inventory,' like the kind people use in video games. He can

also create whole new worlds filled with monsters that he, and

sometimes us, use to train ourselves."

"He can make a new world?!" Thalia asked shocked.

"Wicked!" Travis and Conner yelled out together.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Castor, the son of Dionysus asked.

"I didn't trust you all before," Percy shrugged, "in my defence I had just

learnt that I was a unique individual in a world where flying horses are

considered normal. I was scared to trust you all."

"You saved our lives Percy," Lee Fletcher said, "you really think we

would have betrayed you?"

Percy narrowed his eyes at Dionysus and the God shook his head.

Percy wanted permission to tell the other about the fact that there

might be a spy among them, but the god denied him.

Percy sighed, "look that's all in the past now. What matters is the

future. War is coming to our door steps, we need to be ready."

"Any suggestions oh fearless leader?" Thalia asked sarcastically.

"Many my dimwitted subordinate," Percy replied back.

"Subordinate?! Who the hell you calling a subordinate?!" Thalia

shouted out as the ozone around her grew thicker.

"I love the fact that you had a problem with subordinate and not with

the fact I called you stupid."

"Oh good lord," Thalia groaned, "is he always this annoying?"

"Yes," everyone spoke up instantly.

Percy huffed, "liars."

"Etherway we are getting off topic," Chiron said drawing everyone back

to topic, "Percy those children you brought back, are they alright?"

Percy nodded, "yeah, physically at least. I'm not to sure about their

mental health. I had to drag them out of the Lotus Hotel and Casino."

"What's that?" Selina asked.

"Do you remember the legend of Odysseus and the Lotus people?"

Annabeth asked. Everyone nodded, "well this place is basically the

modern version of them."

"How do you know that?" Percy asked surprised.

"I researched it while you were gone," Annabeth replied.

"Right, anyway I found them trapped inside, they thought that they had

only been in there for around a month or so, but in reality they had

been in that place for more than 60 years."

"Woah," Lee whistled out, "so they are from the 1940's?"

Percy nodded, "right, and so when I bring them out of my pocket

dimension they are going to be confused, we need to help them

readjust to life."

"Right then," Chiron said, "bring them out Percy, let's get this over

with."

Percy nodded and opened his inventory, "oh and there's one more

thing I forgot to mention."

"What?"

"They weren't the only demigods trapped in there," Percy said getting

odd looks from everyone, "there were lot's of people trapped in the

hotel and a few of them were demigods. Some of them were adults

while the others were around our age. I didn't know what to do with

them, so I brought them all anyway."

"Percy," Dionysus asked with a shaky voice, "h-how many new

demigods did you find?"

Percy started to count all of them in his inventory before answering,

"24, I brought back 24 demigods."

The demigods looked shocked and impressed at the number while

Chiron just smiled in approval of Percy's act of heroism. Dionysus

however stopped moving, slowly his eyes rolled to the back of the head

as the god lost his grip on his can of coke fell. He then fell off the chair

and fainted on the spot.

Chapter 334:

Percy stood in front of the Big House with the rest of the camp a good

20 feet behind him.

Percy turned around, "you sure you guys don't want to come closer?"

"No it's okay," Lee Fletcher called out, "we don't want to get in your

way."

"And you Hermes?" Percy asked the messengers of the gods who sat

next to Dionysus on the porch of the Big House sipping a glass of milk.

"No thanks," Hermes said, "I just came here to observe and report

back."

Percy nodded, "if you say so."

After Dionysus fainted last night they had decided to wait till morning to

release the demi gods. After all 24 new demigods would be a lot to

handle, they would the entire camp to back them up. At breakfast

Percy had to step up and basically explain to everyone about his

inventory powers, which got him a few odd looks from the crowd. They

thought he was joking, until he pulled out a shield from thin air. It took

some time but people got the general gist of his powers, and here they

all were.

He opened his inventory and quickly looked through it and chose the

first demigod to release.

Percy reached in and pulled out a young boy with brown hair and

sparkling blue eyes.

"Yo mini me," Percy said grinning ear to ear as he placed the kid down,

"welcome to camp," Percy stepped to the side and gave the young boy

a full view of all the campers.

"WOW!" Little Percy yelled out with a twinkle in his eye, "this is so cool!

You kept your promise Percy!" The young shouted as he charged and

grabbed Percy in a tight hug.

"Oph," Percy puffed out as the kid nearly took out all the air in him. He

patted the kid on the back, "well a promise is a promise kid."

"Who is he Percy?" Annabeth asked drawing both Percy's attention to

the rest of the camp.

"Oh right, introductions. Camp meet Percy Decker," Percy said as he

patted the boy on the shoulder again.

"No another one!" Michael yelled out, "camp is barely surviving with

one Percy!"

"Shut up Michael no one asked your opinion!" Percy growled out.

"Bite me fish head!"

"Shut up or I'll rip the strings off of your guitar!" Percy shouted as he

turned to little Percy, "don't mind him, he just likes to be annoying."

"Like your one to talk!"

"Shut up Michael!"

"Ah hm," Dionysus cleared his throat drawing everyone's attention, "as

much as I would love to see you two engage in verbal spares we do

have, sigh, 23 more demigods to get through, so if you would please

continue with the introduction Peter," Dionysis motioned for Percy to

continue.

"Who is that weirdo and why did he call you Peter?" Little Percy asked

causing the entire camp including Hermes to explode in a fit of laughter

leaving Dionysus with a headache.

"That mini me is Dionysus, the god of wine," Percy said as slowly the

child of Pan started to pale a little, "don't worry, he might look me but

underneath it all he's a big softie. And sometimes he purposefully calls

you by the wrong name, but that's just because he doesn't like getting

close to any demigods."

Percy then turned to Hermes, "and you see that thin dude in the red

track suit, he's Hermes god of messengers, your grandfather."

Hermes blinked, "he's my legacy?"

Percy shook his head as his smile grew bigger, "nope. Percy," he

turned to the kid, "why don't you introduce yourself?"

"A-ah, you sure?" The little boy asked uncertain.

Percy nodded, "go ahead man."

The boy nodded as he slowly walked forward, "ah, hi everyone. I'm

Percy Decker, and I'm the son of Pan."

The camp went silent when suddenly Dionysis got off of his seat so fast

Percy swore he heard the sound barrier break, "WHAT?! YOU'RE THE

SON OF PAN?!"

"Percy are you sure?" Hermes asked as he zoomed up to the kid

before looking at him with a keen eyes.

"Yeah, my powers for identifying demigods kicked in and told me so-"

Lie successful!

"-The kid felt like the forest, like Grover did. But it was more powerful,

more…. Godly. So I put two and two together. Was I right?"

Hermes nodded, "he has Pan's eyes, I'm not sure, but I think he is

Pan's kid."

Just then a green Satyr head appeared over little Percy's head lighting

up the ground with it's forest green glow.

"Well that settles it," Percy said smiling, "you're definitely Pan's kid

now."

The entire camp bust into chatter and whispers as everyone gave the

boy side glances. Little Percy fell into himself in agitation and worry.

"Percy what's going on?" The kid asked.

Percy knelt down and placed his hands on the boy's shoulder, "it's

simply mini me, you just got claimed."

"What does that mean?"

"Why don't you look up and find out?"

The boy did just that and when he did he saw the green Satyr head

above him glowing brightly, "woah!"

"Yup, that means your dad just acknowledge you as his son, pretty cool

right?"

"Yeah, but why does everyone act like it's a big deal? Their acting like

I'm different. This is normal right Percy?"

The son of Poseidon nodded, "relax mini me it's perfectly normal. It's

just…. remember when I told you that you were an extra special

demigod because of your dad?"

The kid nodded, "yeah."

"Well you see mini me your dad is the lord of the Wild and recently he's

gone missing. No one knows where he is, your mom was probably the

last person to have even seen him and you are his son. You're a big

deal kid."

"Percy the little one looks hungry," Hermes spoke up, "maybe we

should get him something to eat."

Percy nodded, "that's right you haven't had anything except some

french fries."

"It's okay, I don't get hungry often," little Percy said holding onto Percy,

"if it's all the same with you can I stay here?"

Chapter 335

Percy looked to Hermes who shrugged. Percy smiled, and turned to

little Percy, "sure mini me, though you're going to have to let go my leg.

I have a job to do and I need the leg to do it. How about this, see that

pretty blonde girl over there with the know it all type of attitude?" Percy

pointed to Annabeth who huffed in amusement at the know-it-all

comment,"that's Annabeth, one of my best friends, why don't you wait

with her and she'll make sure to make you feel at home."

Little Percy nodded and quickly walked away leaving Percy alone.

"Well if that was just the first one this might turn out to be a longer day

than I originally thought," Dionysis commented as he took a swing from

his can.

Percy nodded and quickly pulled out the second demigod, Jonathan

Filius, his half brother.

The man wore a khaki formal soldier's uniform without the cap on top.

Medals lined his left uniform and on his right hip was a holstered gun.

The man had blonde hair but his eyes were a shade darker than

Percy's. He looked around dazed and confused.

"Wh-where am I?" The man asked looking at all the kids, "who are you

all?"

"Hello John, my name is Percy," Percy said drawing the man's attention

to him, "can I call you John?"

The man blinked, "ah, yes, yes you may. Where am I?"

"John I need to ask you a few questions okay? What was the last thing

you remember John? Before all of this, what do you remember?"

"I was-I was going back to the hotel," the man said as the visible

struggle to remember things clouded his mind, "I was going back to my

hotel when a friend dragged me into the casino. It was so nice there

and...and…. I just stayed there. Oh good lord how long was I in there?"

"60 years, give or take," Dionysis commented.

"Dude! Not cool!" Percy cried out.

"60 years?!" The man shouted, "that's impossible?! How could I have

been in there that long?! I remember being there only for a month! Two

at the most!"

"Woah, woah, relax man everything's alright," Percy interviewed seeing

the man going into a visible melt down over this, after all he just learnt

that he outlived the era he grew in. "Your safe here, do you know who

you are? What you are?"

"What?! Just what the hell are you insinuating boy?!" The man

shouted.

"Wow relax man we are all friends here, none of use are insinuating

anything," Percy quickly replied defusing the tension, "we just want to

talk, that's all. So let's not do anything, irrational," Percy's eyes went to

the man's pistol.

John looked at Percy and then at the rest of the camp, "where am I?"

"Your in place, a special place for people like you."

"People like me?" John asked again as his voice was layered with

anger, "what do you mean people like me?"

"You know," Percy said motioning for the man to catch on but he never

did, "wait…. You don't know do you?"

"Don't know what? That I'm a bastard?!" John's voice came out harsh,

"yeah I know that alright, you people never let me forget it."

'Ah so that's why he was acting cranky. He must have been bullied in

the army for being born out of wedlock. The 1940's must have been

tough for him' Percy realized.

"Well then if you're bastards then so are the rest of us," Percy said

motioning to the rest of camp, "aren't we guys?!"

"Yup!" Someone cried out.

"Totally 100% bastards!" Peter yelled out.

"And you're the biggest one Percy!"

"Shut up Michael!" Percy yelled again before turning to John, "look

John we are all the same. We all share something in common. Each of

us has a parent who was...well first tell me this, do you know Greek

history?"

The man nodded dumbly still stunned by the entire camp openly

admitted to being bastards, "yes, I learnt a little in college."

"Well then you know about demigods then."

The man nodded, "yeah, but what does that have to do with me?"

"Tell me John which deviation of the US armed forces were you

assigned to? I'm guessing it was the Navy, right?"

John nodded, "yeah, how did you know?"

"It's because of who you are John," Percy said, "you chose the Navy

because you felt a deep connection to the sea right? You feel so

closely connected to it that sometimes when you swim it almost feel

like you can breath underwater goth?"

John's eyes went wide in surprise, "h-how could you possibly know

that?"

A few Athena kids had figured it out as well as some of the smarter

campers. Dionysis simply just groaned out, "great, another one."

"It's because I'm the same as you John," Percy said as he approached

the man, "I feel the exact same way you do when it comes to the sea. I

feel it strengthen me, and do you know why John?"

"Why?"

"Because we are brothers," Percy said as he used his mana to call

forth the moisture in the air to form a water trident, "and we are the

children of Poseidon, the God of the Seas."

John looked stunned and with wide eyes at the trident as he slowly

touched it. The monment he got a good grip on it Percy let go allowing

John to control the water. Suddenly a bright green trident appeared

over John's head acknowledging him as Percy's brother.

"T-This is amazing!" John exclaimed as he twirled the weapon around,

"how is this even possible?"

"Because you are a demigod John, like everyone here," Percy said,

"you are a child of the Greek Gods."

"God is real?!"

"Well the Greek gods are, so is the Christian God but we try not to

think about him."

John still looked skeptical, "so the Greek Gods are real?"

Percy nodded, "yup, hey if you want proof just looked behind you. See

that guy in the red track suit? That's Hermes messenger of the Gods."

Chapter 336

Hermes smiled and waved as John waved back stunned, "he's a

God?"

"Yup."

"Are you sure? Because I don't think that a God would dress like that."

After that little comment Hermes threatened to try and kill John.

Eventually everyone calmed down and Percy had Nina sit down with

John and explain to him what was going on. Percy wished he could do

it himself, after all the man was his half-brother, but he still had 22

demigods to release.

Percy quickly went through the rest of the demigods. Luckily after the

first five or so, calming them down and explaining the whole trapped in

a place that diluted time story came to him easily. Percy first claimed

the understandably freaked out demigod before one of their fellow

siblings, or anyone who ventured, took them into the Big House and

explained to them what was going on.

There were around 4 children of Ares, 1 daughter of Hermes, who was

immediately hugged by the God of messenger, a daughter of demeter,

a son of Hecate, 2 children of Morpheus, a daughter of Aphrodite that

kind of resembled Marilyn Monroe, a pair of twin sons of Apollo, a

daughter of Pothos (god of Lust, and gods was she lust worthy), a son

of Nemesis, a son of Nike, a daughter of Hebe, a daughter of Notus,

two children of Athena and two children of Hephaestus.

Needless to say it was a long process.

Luckily most of the people who Percy released didn't want to go back

there, they hated the experience. Most of demigods were children,

around 12-14, they had usually stumbled onto the Lotus Casino when

they were being chased by monsters. Most say that when they were in

trouble the casino would just magically appear in front of them and they

would go inside to hide now knowing the dangers inside.

There were three adults in total, including John. The other two adults

was the daughter of Demeter and the son of Nemesis. The only reason

the demigods had survived so long without knowing their true origin

was because they had all joined the military early on in their life and

were protected from any monsters. The daughter of Demeter was a

nurse while John and the son of Nemesis were old army buddies that

got trapped in the casino together.

Eventually though there was only two left. Percy had been saving

these for last.

The son of Poseidon reached into his inventory and pulled out a 12

year old girl dressed in a fancy dress. She looked at Percy and then to

everyone else around her before stammering out a response, "where in

God's blue Earth am I?"

"Somewhere safe Bianca," Percy promised her as he put her down

making sure she was steady before reaching in and pulling out Nico as

well.

"Let go of me asshole!" The little boy kicked and screamed as he tried

to punch Percy the moment he came out of the inventory, "what did

you do to my sister?!"

"Nothing!" Percy protested as he jumped away from the son of Hades

fists, "see there she is safe and sound."

"Nico what are you doing?" Bianca yelled out causing Nico to stop and

look at his sister.

"Bianca! Your safe! I thought he hurt you!" Nico jumped and hugged his

sister.

"Hurt me? Why would he do that? In fact who are you? Where are

we?"

Percy sighed and eventually gave her the now routine speech about

her being a demigod and her being trapped in that casino from over 60

years, blah blah blah.

"Wait so you're all," Bianca said looked at all the people gathered

around, "demigods?"

"Yup," Percy nodded.

"And so are we?"

"Yup," Percy nodded.

"I-I don't know what to say to that," Bianca said as she looked around

in shocked.

'Her entire understanding of life had just been shattered. She had just

learnt that not only did she have a dad, he was basically immortal and

a God! She didn't know what to say, or do,' Percy thought to himself,

'it's reasonable she is having an emotional crisis.' He then turned to

Nico who had his head hung down as he was visibly trembling, 'poor

kid, he must be overwhelmed.'

"COOL!" Nico yelled out jumping up, "so wait am I a God too?!"

'Guess he was shaking in excitement then,' Percy told himself as he

gave the kid a smiled, "well no, you're a demigod, half God, half man.

And as cool as a god is, we are cooler."

"Ah-hum," Hermes cleared his throat.

"You should get that looked at Hermes, don't want a throat infection or

anything," Percy said with a sly smile.

The god grumbled as Bianca then spoke up, "so wait, does that mean

our father is a God?"

Percy nodded, "yup, but first tell me, how much do you know about the

Greek Gods?"

"Lots!" Nico exclaimed, "there's the Olympians, Zeus, Poseidon,

Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus and his wife Aphrodite, Hera, Demeter,

Apollo and Artemis, Athena, Dionysus! And then there are the minor

Gods like Hecate and Morpheus, oh and spirits like the Satyrs and

other things, wait is that guy Hermes?!" Nico yelled out charging the

God who looked stunned, "so cool! I always wanted to meet a God!

Hey is it true you onces stole Apollo's cows? How did their milk taste?

Do you actually have winged sandals? What's your top speed?"

Hermes just blinked at barrage of questions, "ah, well, yes, their milk

tasted great, like caramel, yes I do have sandals with wings on them

though these days I prefer sneakers and my top speed is just below

the speed of light, I think, haven't really tried."

Percy smiled and turned to Bianca, "Nico seems to be having fun."

The girl sighed, "my brother has always been….extremely obsessed

with Greek Myths."

Percy nodded, "as he should be, after all he is part of them now."

"Okay fine you have said your piece about us being demigods and the

like, but where is the proof?"

Percy snapped his fingers and formed a trident out of the water in the

air and twirled it around, "proof enough for you?"

"Wow!" Nico shouted rushing towards Percy, "that's so cool! Your a son

of Poseidon right? If not you're probably a son of Triton or something!

Wait can I do that? Are we children of Poseidon too?!"

"Ah, no, no you are not," Percy turned to Bianca, "proof enough for you

Bianca?"

The girl didn't respond, she was still too stunned at the sight of the

water trident in Percy's hand.

"Huh, guess that's a reasonable reaction," Percy said as he turned the

water back into steam letting go of the weapon.

"So who is he?" Nico asked excited.

"Who is who?" Percy asked.

"Our dad!"

"Oh, right. Well if I was to guess I would say-"

"Look!" One of the campers pointed as the symbol of Hades, a purple

helmet, appeared over both Nico's and Bianca's head startling the two.

"God damn it Hades I was waiting for a dramatic reveal!" Percy cursed

aloud;

Percy quickly pushed the notification aside and turned to the two

stunned siblings, "look I know it's difficult to understand, and difficult to

process, but believe me, we have all been through this, we can help."

Bianca was shaking but nodded, "I understand, but still….knowing the

man who you hated for so long for abandoning is a God….it's so

difficult to get over."

"It's okay, I had the same feeling you did," Percy said with a smile, "I

hated my dad for leaving my mom, eventually though I got over it."

"What did you do?" Bianca asked with a hopeful look in her eyes.

"I punched him in the face," Percy said grinning, "it was so great."

Bianca smiled, "you punched a God in the face?"

"Yup, he didn't mind, he sort of knew he had it coming."

"I don't think I can do that," Bianca said.

"Yeah probably not," Percy admitted, "my dad is kind of cool that way.

But I promise you me and the rest of the camp will help you and your

brother along the way, I promise"

"I somehow think Nico won't have a problem fitting in," Bianca said as

she turned to Nico who had been running all over the place screaming,

'my dad's the coolest!' At the top of his voice.

Percy smiled, "yeah, that kid is…...special."

Two weeks later;

Surprisingly the next few days had been without any incident at all.

None of the rescued demigods wanted to leave camp and go back to

the Lotus Casino.

It had taken some time but eventually they all accepted that they were

in fact stuck in another time period. The three adults in the group had

trouble adjusting, all the new technology was much too advanced for

them and their way of think was already set. Boy you should have seen

the way the men reacted to the girls wearing jeans outside, they were

pissed!

Eventually though everyone was getting better at adjusting. To

compensate for the extra children Hermes had commissioned the

construction of two new cabins to store all the minor demigods leaving

the first Hermes cabin exclusively for Hermes kids. The cabins had

their own head councillors but pretty much functioned as any cabin

would.

Percy now found himself in his cabin reading one of Argo's books on

radioactivity, which again increased his physics skill and gave him a

sub skill;

Physics- Lv- 4- Basic concepts of physical science.

· Radiation – Lv- 1 – The study of radiation

"You up little brother?" Jonathan asked as the soldier got up and

climbed out of his bed. It was the crack of dawn but Percy hadn't slept

last night, he rarely did these days.

"I'm always up big bro," Percy said getting off his bed and putting the

book into his vastly growing shelf. The only things he did these days

was train and read books resulting in him increasing his sword skills by

two levels and his intelligence and English skill by 3 points and 2 levels

respectively;

"Ready for training?" Percy asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be little bro," John said with a smile.

"You're getting better at modern slang John. We'll have you talking like

a modern man in no time."

"I don't know about that," the sailor admitted, "but I do know things are

looking up for me."

Percy smiled, "alright then, why don't you go ahead and have

breakfast? I'll be right along."

"Don't you want to eat?"

"No, I'm good, go ahead. I'll meet you at the Arena."

John nodded and walked out of the cabin leaving Percy alone. The son

of Poseidon walked out and went to the common shower rooms for a

quick shower. He then zoomed back to his cabin and opened his

inventory to look from something to wear.

Just then Percy looked up and saw himself in the mirror. In two weeks

time a lot had changed for him physically. He figured it was due to his

Goblin's growth perk he had obtained via Chimera's blood. In the past

two weeks Percy had become 5' 4'' and his muscles had become more

pronounced. They weren't huge and bulging, but they were noticeable.

He had also started to get hair all over his body, don't ask, and his

voice was slowly becoming more and more deeper, it could crack any

day now.

He out on a pair of jeans and an orange camp Half-Blood shirt. He

wore his special friction resistant shoes and his leather jacket along

with his other important items. The last thing Percy put on was his

necklace of Poseidon and his camp necklace, the latter of which had a

new bead. It was for the quest he did with Odysseus, the bead was sea

blue with a black ship carved into it. Percy smiled as the bead rested

next to the iron cyclops skull he had.

Chapter 338

After Percy was ready he walked out, put his hand up and called out,

"ID create: Empty."

The world changed and Percy began to walk forward. As he did he put

his other hand up and thought, 'ID Escape!'

The red skyed world shattered bringing Percy back to the real world.

Percy continued this over and over again as he slipped from the real

world to his pocket world and then back to the real world. It have been

a thing he did for the past two weeks and soon everyone had gotten

used to the sight of seeing Percy disappear to only reappear without

explanation.

Over the course of two week Percy had leveled up the skill to such a

high level that it had gained 8 new levels! Eight! Sure it wasn't much

gained for the time used in training it, but that was to be expected,

especially with the results he got;

· ID Create, Lv-22 (95%)

Used to create Instant Dungeons. Higher the level, stronger the

dungeon.

Current list-

Empty Dungeon- no monsters.

Monster Dungeon- Zombies

Monster Dungeon- Goblin Camp

Arena Dungeon – Mountain/ Island/ Swamp/ Forest/ Plains

Empty Dungeon – Time dilation (1/3)

· ID Escape, Lv-22 (95%)

Used to escape from Instant Dungeons.

Percy had gained two new dungeons in these two weeks. The first new

one he got was a combination of five areas that Percy could travel to. It

was like the Goblin Camp scenario where he could transport himself to

different areas completely instead of just creating dungeons with

monsters in it.

The Areas he created were filled with monsters local to the region,

hence Percy manly used this dungeon to try and keep himself on his

toes. The monsters were pretty weak to begin with, most were just

between Lv- 15 to 25. But they were useful for other reasons. Percy

never spent too much time in each, after all he was very busy these

days.

The newest dungeon he got though was something of a mystery and a

boon. It was a ID where time flowed more quickly when compared to

the real world. When Percy first unlocked the ID, it was pretty normal.

Time flowed the same.

But after Percy leveled up the ID create skill once, the time dilation was

increased for every 2 minutes that passed inside the ID 1 passed

outside. Then when Percy leveled it up again it became for every 3

minutes inside one minute passed outside, so on and so forth. This

particular time dilation skill was the reason Percy was so intent of trying

and increase his skill level, if he could get a place where he could train

longer for a shorter period of time it would be a blessing from the Gods.

Eventually though Percy reached the Arena and inside he found

around 80 demigods armoured and talking to each other, while rubbing

the sleep out of their eyes.

"Right, everyone into positions," Percy said as everyone of them

quickly stopped talking and formed into rows each a good 4 feet apart

from the other. Percy then began walking along the rows of the

demigods looking at each of them like a general would an army. Percy

stealthily opened up his status page and attached his 'Leader' title on,

after all the demigods would need every boost they got;

Leader- allows the user to control his troops easily giving a +10 to

all stats for all subordinates.

"Now today we will first warm up and then train in weapons," this got a

groan from them all but Percy ignored them, "Yesterday you all

managed to soundly defeat the first wave of the zombies, let's try two

today."

Percy walked in front of them all and nodded, "begin!"

Quickly every one of them got down on to the floor and began the

routine exercise that Percy had taught them. They first did 10 push

ups, 10 jumping jacks, 15 punches, each arm, and then ended the set

with 10 crunches. They then repeated the set all together.

While waiting for the exercises to be over Percy usually did his own

exercises while keeping an eye on everyone. He focused on increasing

his own strength stat and had taken to wear the weighted armbands

that Nina had made for him all the time. He had increased the weight

from 75 to 100 pounds per limb causing a extra 5 stat points for Str;

STR-55(+20)=75

When Percy first took over training for the demigods it was tough. The

older demigods liked him and knew what he was capable of, after all

they had seen him cut off Hyperion's hand and take on Artemis in the

form of a deer. They knew Percy was the best choice to train them.

The new demigods however were a different issue. They knew they

owed Percy their lives, and most didn't question his leadership, but a

few did.

A son of Ares didn't like the way Percy was teaching, big surprise there,

he thought he knew how to fight better than the son of Poseidon. The

kid's name was Colt and he was the guy who was dressed up like a

punk with the purple mohawk that Percy got out of the casino.

Apparently the kid had a rough childhood growing up and he had to

fight to survive. He had been brought up street tough and

understandably didn't feel like a kid a foot shorter than him could teach

him anything about fighting.

Colt had challenged Percy to a fight, he wanted to lead instead. Percy

accepted….the fight lasted for about 2 seconds and Colt was sent to

the Med Bay with a broken arm. Percy wasn't really in the mode for a

big drawn out fight, so he used his speed and strength to simply twist

Colt's arm and ended it quickly.

Since then no one had dared question Percy's capability.

The group of demigods Percy was teaching included most of the

children from the Casino along with the Ares cabin. He also had

demigods from the Hermes cabin with him along with the children of

Demeter and Dionysus. The minor Gods cabin members also trained

under Percy but only those who could fight. Nico and Bianca had also

joined in, surprising Percy. But it seemed they both had their own

talents. Bianca was good with spear while Nico was a swordsman

through and through, not as good as Percy, but he had the willingness

to try.

The Athena cabin was busy planning out war strategies for the rest of

camp. Percy usually helped out wherever he could and was there for

the many meetings they conducted.

Chapter 338

Hephaestus cabin started the process of created armour for the new

demigods, Percy couldn't really do anything in this regard but

whenever he stumbled onto a weapon or extra crafting material he

gave it right to Nina and the rest of Hephaestus cabin.

Since Percy didn't really do archery he couldn't help the Apollo cabin,

but he didn't stop by to teach Nancy and the others how to use his

blood rune spell in the case of a medical emergency.

Little Percy had joined the minor God's cabin as well, but he rarely ever

stayed there. Ever since the Council of Cloven Elders had found out

about the son of Pan they had tried their best to get their wrinkled old

hands on them. Percy tried his best to keep mini him away from the old

goats but eventually he couldn't protect the kid anymore. The old goats

had gone to Dionysus and complained, little bitches.

The Council had insisted that they needed to take the boy away and

train him in the ways of the Wild, but little Percy had other ideas. He

didn't exactly say it but Percy knew the son of Pan considered him a

surrogate older brother. The boy liked him, and he like the kid, after all

with a name like Percy who couldn't like him?

So they came to a compromise. Little Percy spent half his time training

under Percy and the other half with the Council of Cloven elders. It

made his day very busy, but he was the son of Pan after all, right now

he was the only legitimate successor to Pan's position and that made

him very important.

"All right Level 1 team take a break!" Percy yelled out as around 20

demigods collapsed. Level 1 was Percy's way of calling out the weak.

Using his Gamer powers Percy separated the demigods into levels.

Level one consisted of the nearly human like demigods that were low

on stamina and strength, Percy had them do only three sets of their

normal exercise before telling them to stop.

Level 2 were the average demigods with their stamina and strength

above 20. They did around 10 sets before Percy told them to stop.

Then came the level 3's who were the exceptional demigods. These

had lots of stamina and strength and mostly consisted of the adult

demigods and a few children of Ares. They did around 20 sets of the

exercise before Percy told them to stop.

After the Level 3's were done Percy took them them all out for a run.

First they went across the stable and around the Forest. They then ran

along the beach and stopped at the mouth of the stream cutting

through the Forest.

Percy turned to his 80 demigod squad and waited for them all to arrive,

the level 1's always had trouble keeping up.

"Alright everyone take out your weapons and keep them ready!" Percy

shouted as each demigod took out their own favorite weapon, be it

spear or sword. The archers generally trained with a sword and

practised their bow and arrow skills later with the Apollo cabin.

"Now pair up with a person with the same weapon and stand opposite

to each other!" Percy yelled out as the demigods started to move. Each

had a prefered training partner, Bianca liked fighting a daughter of

Hermes called Mila, Nico and little Percy, who were becoming fast

friends due to their common likes of swords and Percy, faced of each

other.

"Now where the hell is Thalia?" Percy muttered and just then the

daughter of Zeus walked out of the forest with sweat covering her body.

"Sorry I'm late!" Thalia yelled out, "I kind of got caught up with all the

training."

Percy nodded, "it's cool, at least you came."

Thalia hadn't joined up for Percy's training, she did her own thing.

Percy understood, they was he was teaching was not focused on

increasing one particular demigod's skill but everyone's. Thalia on the

other hand needed to become stronger than the average demigod, and

she knew it. Percy could see the pressure of being the child of

Prophecy getting to her, she had been training longer and harder than

anyone else, except probably Percy.

"Spears to me!" The daughter of Zeus yelled out as the group split into

two. Percy was an amature with a spear, he barely had a skill over it,

so he enlisted Thalia's help for the basic weapons training.

After everyone was ready Percy yelled out, "begin basic attacks!"

Soon everyone was in a flurry of movement striking out against their

opponent. Percy kept watch over everyone, usually by using his super

speed to zoom all over the place. When he noticed someone executing

an attack wrongly he stopped them and taught the right way.

This was his days now, he was a leader and a teacher. And the

teaching thing gave him a few levels up on his teaching skill;

· Teaching, Lv-30 (40%)

You impart on your student a piece of what you know.

(Wis+Int)% how much the student understands

+80% if their Int is lower than yours.

Needless to say Percy was a great teacher thanks to this skill. His

Wisdom was 53 and his intelligence was 83 allowing hs students to

learn 134% of what he was trying to teach, this mean that not only did

they understand what he was trying to teach them, they also apply it. It

made them increase in skill very fast often times developing their own

type of fighting style.

Beep Beep! Beep Beep!

Percy then looked down at his his new celestial bronze watch which he

had Nina make for him using a celestial bronze ingot he got as loot. It

was digital and made out of the celestial metal making it to be nearly

indestructible.

There was also a notification system that Percy had asked for. This

way whenever he had a random idea he wanted to try out, or

something brilliant came to him while in the shower or anything he

could record it instantly.

Right now the watch had just alerted him about his hourly dumping of

mana into his Marble Skin skill.

This was something he just recently figured out during one of his

showers. It was the fact that his Marble Skin defence had no time limit.

It also didn't have any limit to said mana dumping. This allowed for a

HUGE loophole for Percy to exploit.

Chapter 339

So what he did for every hour on the dot, as long he was awake, Percy

dumped all of his mana into this skill increasing his defences

constantly. It had been around 12 days since he started this.

Percy quickly walked into the sea nearby activating the domain boost;

You have entered a water body! Due to your parentage you have

gained a boost!

+1000 HP

+1000 MP

All wounds are healed

All ailments cured

Water Breathing ability active

+1000 HP(+1000 HP due to necklace of Poseidon) = +2000 HP

+1000 MP (+1000 MP due to necklace of Poseidon) = +2000 MP

Every Time he was about to boost his marble skin powers he entered

into a body of water. Whether that meant going into the sea, a river or

even just pouring water on himself to activate the domain boost

depended on where Percy was.

Percy now had;

Mana-5,750/5,750 (+1000) = 6,750 (+20% more mana, +1350) =

8,100 (+2000 MP)= 10,100 MP

And he put all of his mana into the skill.

Defence- 10,100 x 115 Vit = 1,161,500 Defence

Percy had done this for around an average of 21 hours a day, since he

rarely slept at all these days. This meant that including this recent

boost to his powers Percy's total defence came up to;

252 hours X 1,161,500 = 292,698,000 Defence

Yup, that was a lot. But considering that Percy has to now fight Titans,

who could give the Gods a run for their money Percy still felt like he

was unprepared. Sometimes when Percy was free for an hour for so,

he would just enter and exit the sea causing himself to respawn the

water domain boost adding on to his total defence. But these days he

rarely had the time.

Percy eventually returned to his group of trainees and soon they were

done with their practise.

"Alright everyone line up! It's time for my training!" Percy yelled out as

he took out Riptide readying himself for a fight.

Most of the demigods groaned while a few, like Thalia and John,

became serious and ready for a fight. This was the reason most hated

weapons training, at the end of it Percy took on all of them at once.

Percy spun his blade around a couple of times, "ready?" The demigods

who complained before got into position next to the others. "Okay then,

fight!"

Percy charged forward and attacked a group spear wielding demigods.

They had lowered their weapons to pierce him with but Percy was

faster as he jumped up and landed behind them hitting them all with

the flat of his blade.

"Out," Percy said. The demigods all groaned and quickly all left before

Percy moved towards the next group of demigods.

Percy quickly dispatched of all the swordsmen with a flick of the wrist

mostly just disarming them or knocking them off balance.

"YAAAA!" Nico yelled out as the boy charged Percy only for the

demigod to trip Nico at the last second.

"Sorry Nico, better luck next time," Percy then turned and blocked a

swing for John. Percy blocked and pushed the weapon back as the two

brothers attacked one another.

John had been trained in hand to hand combat by the army and had a

bases for attacks. Hence he was one of the best swordsmen they had,

but he was still no match for Percy.

Percy knocked him to the side, the demigod was starting to sweat now,

he wasn't tired, not in the least, but he felt the training work. Percy then

quickly took care of the rest of the demigods leaving Thalia for last.

"Ready sea brain?" Thalia asked as she spun her spear around.

"Think you can actually hit me this time sparky?" Percy teased as

Thalia growled at him.

The two cousins narrowed their eyes as they slowly circled around the

other. This was one of the reason Thalia agreed to help train the

others. She wanted to fight Percy. Maybe it was the Zeus in her, but

Thalia didn't like Percy being in charge, she usually kept her distance

from him whenever he was training or even talking to other demigods.

So far the only interactions the two have shared was the occasional

chit chat along with these daily fights.

Taliha made the first move, like always. Percy counted on her

impatience as he quickly went on the defence blocking everyone one

of the girl's attacks. He spun away from spear thrusts and deflected all

those he couldn't dodge. He waited for his moment before he sprung

into action.

Percy blocked and then deflected Thalia's spear so hard it flew out of

her hand. He then charged forward and swung the flat of his blade at

Thalia. The daughter of Zeus however didn't back down as she

collapsed her knees and fell back on the ground forcing Percy to

change the direction of his attack in the last moment.

Thalia then gabed the bracelet on her left hand and shouted, "Aegis!"

This caused a shield to form out out it blocking Percy's blade at the last

second. Percy was stunned looking at the shield and Thalia took this

opportunity and pushed Percy to the ground and got on top him

pushing the shield down on him.

"Still scared of this thing Jackson?" Thalia asked with a smirk.

"No Grace, I just got to close to you and the smell just hit me really

hard," Percy shot back. The way Thalia sat on top of him was really

making him hot under the collar. Her hips were rested right on his own,

the part that disturbed him the most were her long muscular things.

They gripped his hips tightly to make sure he couldn't move to the side

as she pressed up against him.

'I need to get her off me before things get weird!' Percy told himself as

he finally managed to push Thalia off of him and he jumped back.

Thalia quickly grabbed her spear and the two began circling each

other.

Percy really hated that shield, it wasn't his first time seeing it, Thalia

had used it before on him. The shield was special, it was a replica of

Aegis, the shield that was imprinted with the face of Medusa onto. The

face of medusa was scary to say the least, Percy didn't mind it though,

after the first time he kind of got used to looking at the shield. But there

was still some sort of charm around it that made him want to back

away every time he got close to it.

Thalia charged again as she swung at Percy. The demigod ducked

under the attack and kicked Thalia in the gut sending her backwards.

Percy then began attacking the demigoddess relentlessly as he kept

hitting Aegis with Riptide. He then swung his blade widely knocking the

protection of the shield to the side before swinging at Thalia's neck.
