Percy turned to his right and there sitting back in a comfortable looking chair was a man covered in red armor with a red skull as a helmet.
His chest was designed to look like a ribcage while his knees and elbows looked like skulls as well.
Behind him was a large red blade that looked about 5 feet long, almost as big as Percy.
“Welcome explorer!” the red armoured man said with a wave of his hands, “you have taken your first steps towards a new world!
The world of the dead!
See before you all the skeletons of those who stood where you stood and failed.”
Percy’s eyes widened, all these skeletons….were all like him?
He looked at the red man who was still monologuing.
“And now Mr.
explorer, you die.
But in your death you will be reborn as my minion and you will serve me.
And that will be a great honour I assure you to serve me, the great ZED!”
Percy raised an eyebrow, “Zed?
That’s your name?
Zed?”
The man nodded, “yes, scary is it not?”
“Ah…not really no.”
“Nonsense Zed is a wonderfully scary name?”
Percy scowled at that, “not really.
Zed is kind of a weak name.
Like the kind you give a dog you just adopted from the pound.”
The man scowled, or at least looked like he was scowling, he was wearing a helmet after all, “Zed is a plenty scary name!
My mother said so!”
Oh this is was to easy, “really did your mommy also say your were handsome and say there was no one scarier than you?”
The name nodded enthusiastically, “yes, now you understand why Zed is a scary name.”
“Mama’s boy.”
The man looked shock, “I am not a mama’s boy!”
“You are totally a mama’s boy.
I beat she picks out your armor as well huh?”
“As a matter of fact yes my mother did pick out my armour but that has nothing to do with this!” Slowly some of his skeletons started laughing at Zed, “silence!
I am not a mama’s boy!” Percy simply shrugged and then,
Ping!

5% chance of working “Enough of this!” Aed roared out and everything went silent, “you boy will die and I will enjoy feasting on your meat!”
Percy gripped Riptide tighter, ‘looks like the only way out of this is throught it.’
Ping!
Quest Alert!
Survive the horde of skeletons!
And then defeat Zed!
Rewards, +3 stat points ?
Failure, Death YES/NO?
Percy quickly pressed yes and got ready for the fight of his life.
He reached into his inventory and grabbed as many water bottles as he could.
He threw them into the air and cut them open with Riptide.
Most fell to the round while some splashed on him.
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 Percy grinned at that box, it seemed the large puddle he now found himself standing in counted as a water body so this environmental advantage of his kicked in.
As long as he was in this water puddle he was safe.
The skeletons then charged, it seems Zed was curious as to how Percy could summon water bottles out of nowhere, but after he saw Percy’s smile he decided that is was better to kill first and ask questions later.
The first wave of skeletons crashed onto Percy but the boy held his ground.
With the +20 bonus of the son of Poseidon perk Percy had enough strength to not only push the skeletons back with his shield but he managed to cut down half of them with his blade.
Percy then moved like a force of nature in the form of a human.
His blade spun faster and faster and moved in a blur as he cut down skeleton after skeleton.
Suddenly a spear found itself between Percy’s ribs.
The pain was bad, but the HP lost was worse.
Percy’s Gamer’s body and Gamer’s mind kicked in.
He pushed through the pain and pushed the spear out of his body.
He felt his blood drip out and onto the stage, and Percy finally had enough.
“Water control!” Percy shouted and challenged his mana into the puddle he and the skeletons were standing in.
Suddenly the water under the feet of all the undead skeletons turned into spike and the skewered the skeletons, tearing them apart.
Ping!

Percy now stood, his HP and MP low;
HP-560/1250 MP-600/1125
His regeneration rate was improved due to his environmental advantage, but it wouldn’t be enough.
He had exhausted himself so much and it was only the first wave.
There were still two more left.
Percy needed to think, he needed a clever plan in order to escape this.
Most of his powers are useless here.
The only thing that can help him is the Water Spikes attack he just made up.
That would be great, but the skeletons know about my water and will be afraid to come close.
Percy then noted most of the skeletons were looking at him in awe and fear, he needed to take advantage of this.
Quickly Percy reached into his inventory again and took out several pancakes and started to stuff them into his mouth.
Zed and the rest of his skeleton army just looked on in wonder as Percy kept stuffing himself over and over again with food.
Where did it all come from, and more importantly where did it all go?!
Zed finally shook his head clear of his stray thought and looked to his army, “don’t just stand there, get him!”
The skeletons looked at Percy and then at Zed and then sighed, they hated their boss.
Quickly the ones with spears stepped forward and threw their weapons at Percy, hoping to end this without getting to close.
Percy saw the weapons coming for him and quickly acted.
He summoned the water around himself, “water shield” he cried out and all the spears impaled and stopped right into the shield.
Percy then manipulated the water and gathered all the spears on the surface of his shield.
He turned them around and then launched them full force into the crowd of skeletons kills tens of them in one strike.
Ping!
