Percy wiped the box away.
Grover was strong, very strong.
And even though he lied to him Percy still considered him his friend, after all what else can you think about the guy who is trying to protect you?
Percy needed knowledge, he needed power.
He needed to know who his dad was, that seemed like the key to everything.
And just then;
Ping!
Quest Alert!
Find out who your dad is!
Reward, Find out about all your abilities.
1000 Exp Failure, Death.
YES/NO?
Percy gulped, he was afraid, but he needed to do this.
He then readied himself and pressed yes.
Percy sat down in the library with a huge stack of books in front of him.
The first thing he did when he woke up was decided to tackle his low stat problems.
The way he saw the first thing he would need is a good head on his shoulders if he was to survive finding out who his dad was.
Why oh why did he ever except that stupid quest when death was the option if he failed?
Anyway, Percy took Han’s advice to heart and so the first thing he did this Saturday morning was go to the library.
Sure it was boring, and it was not the best thing to do first thing in the morning, but it is what needed to happen.
Percy took the first book, ‘Greek Myths and Legends.’ After all with a Satyr for a best friend he needed to know everything there was to know about Greek myth, because for some reason it’s coming alive all around him.
Percy opened the first page and immediately he was bored.
The words seemed to just fly off the page, stupid dyslexia.
Percy sighed, looks like the reading option was out.
He looked through all the pages and observing the pictures and such, trying and failing to read anything.
But just then he came on a picture of an ancient greek tablet with ancient greek words written on it.
It seemed old, really old and just as Percy was about to look away the words started to change and suddenly Percy could understand them.
The tablet spoke about Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, music, medicine and a whole bunch of other stuff, ‘but wait how could I read ancient greek?’ Percy then had an idea, it was a crazy idea, but it still was an idea.
What if he could read greek for the same reason he had a Satyr for a protector?
Maybe he had a connection with the Greek Myths, maybe it had something to do with his dad!
Ping!
For thinking things through and arriving at a logical conclusion you gained 1 Wis!
Percy blinked but quickly wiped it away, he was on a role here.
Okay, so we have a lot of Greek myths and his ability to read greek, and ancient greek at that.
So what he had to do was find books with ancient greek in them, no problem right?
Percy then spent the day searching the library and after an hour came up with one book which was a translation of ancient greek to english, hopefully this would work.
Percy quickly spent the next hour fully immersed in the book, it seemed most of the translations were wrong or off just a word or too.
Like one time they thought Donkey meant Holy.
Sure it was a dead language but Percy still found it funny some of the mistakes he found in the book.
Ping!
By reading a book about another language you have gained 1 Int!
Huh so it does count, fancy that.
Ping!
By reading a translation book and understanding it completely you have gained two skills!

Language: Modern English, Lv-2 (34%)

Percy scratched his head, this was a problem.
He needed to get better at English first before reading any book.
Percy quickly went to the basic english sections and took out easy books, the kind that kids read and began reading.
Hopefully is he has a high enough language skill he could read English better and he should be able to read other books.
Just then after he finished reading a basic fairy tale book Percy opened up his skill list and selected English.
Language: Modern English, Lv-2 (80%)
Due to your ?
you have Dyslexia and poor English reading skills, you can talk it, but can’t walk it.

Percy smiled, before it was 34%, now it was 80%.
Which means it is working.
Percy then quickly started to grind, he finally had way to control his Dyslexia, and he was going to take it.
By the end of the day, all of which Percy spent in the library which was hell I assure you his skill in English had improved a lot.
It now stood;
Language: Modern English, Lv-5 (40%)
Due to your ?
you have Dyslexia and poor English reading skills, you can talk it, but can’t walk it.
Your reading is now better, grade level-4
-45% in understanding what you read.
Percy smiled and closed the last book he was reading, it truly was an amazing feeling he had, he finally had the ability to not be a screw up.
His messed up reading skills due to his dyslexia was one of the main reasons he always sucked in class, but if he can get rid of it….then it would be the best thing that could ever happen to him.
His understanding improved by a rate of 5%, meaning at level 14 or so he would finally be rid of the stupid disability forever!
Percy then quickly left as the library was closing.
He went to the cafeteria and sat next to Grover who was munching on a salad, well what did you expect he was a goat.
Percy smiled, “hey man.”
Grover smiled back, “hey Percy.
Where were you all day?”
“I was at the library,” Percy grinning as Grover nearly choked out his food.
“You what?!” Grover asked, “seriously?”
Percy smiled, “yup, decided to do something about my dyslexia.
So I began reading at grade 1 and then slowly made it to grade 4.”
Grover looked surprised at this and then quickly patted Percy on the back, “good job man!
That’s awesome!
This is great news!
Now no one will be able to say that you’re just lazy.”
Percy grinned at that, “yup, anyway Grover I’m going to get something to eat.”
Percy then ate his dinner and quickly went to bed, eager for the next day as it was the best day of the week, Sunday.
And that meant one thing, the swimming pool was open.
Ping!
