Percy looked at that and frowned.
For a child of the god of the sea he expected his swimming to be a lot faster than that.
So he spent the rest of the day and afternoon swimming back and forth from each end of the pool.
Each time moving faster and faster.
Ping!
Swimming skill leveled up!
Swimming, Lv-6 (10%) Your speed in swimming is that of an average swimmer-2.5 miles an hour.
Percy shook his head at this and then began swimming faster and faster again and again until his head started to spin due to vertigo, but then suddenly his vertigo stopped, due to the water healing him.
Ping!
Ping!
Ping!
Ping!
The pings kept on coming but Percy ignored it all.
He needed to get faster, he wanted to get faster.
Nothing else mattered!
After swimming until it was time for the pool to close Percy finally got out of the pool and saw the blue box showing his swimming skill.
Swimming, Lv-10 (30%)
Your speed in swimming is that of an advanced swimmer-4.5 miles an hour.
Percy now finally smiled, that was a good speed.
But not fast enough.
Next Sunday he was going to double it, at least that is the plan.
Percy then went to a shadowy area and quickly drew out a towel from his inventory and his shirt from before.
After drying himself off and putting his shirt on Percy stuffed the towel inside the inventory box and quickly left for his dorm.
His eyesight was perfect, not affected by the chlorine at all, must be a perk of being the son of Poseidon.
As such Percy decided to quickly go back to the library to read some more.
That night Percy sat in his bed with a belly full of food and a few extra points.
He had improved his English again by reading mostly books relating to Greek myth and such, seeing as how he was a freaking demigod!
His skill level now it came to; · Language: Modern English, Lv-7 (40%)
Due to you being a demigod you have Dyslexia and poor English reading skills, you can talk it, but can’t walk it.
Your reading is now better, grade level-6
-35% in understanding what you read.
Technically Percy could now understand everything they would teach in his class, but he got bite by the bug.
The bug that all gamers got.
The bug of perfection.
Percy didn’t want to stop, he wanted to keep going, and he will.
Every day he would spend in the library until his Dyslexia did not hold him back any longer.
Percy nodded to himself, this was the start of his new life, where he wouldn’t be a loser any more.
Where his mom won’t have to always take care of him.
Where he could kick Gabe in the dick!
Percy smiled and then looked at his inventory, he didn’t have much money, just 50$.
He needed to fix that, money would help his mom and him, maybe some quests would allow him to get some cash or something, if that is even possible.
Just the Percy noticed the towel he showed into his inventory box and took it out.
He touched the towel and saw it was still wet, strange it should have dried by now.
Percy then put it in the laundry chute and then suddenly had an idea.
He was curious about his powers, out of all which his inventory stumped him the most.
What exactly happened to the stuff he put in there?
Where did it go?
He needed to know.
So Percy took out his flip phone and set it on record.
He opened his inventory and then put his phone inside as it was still recording.
Then Percy waited, he moved and sat in a different place and the opened up his inventory again.
He pulled out his phone and found it was still recording.
A total of 10 seconds was recorded before Percy stopped it.
The video showed the phone being pressed into air, it seemed Percy couldn’t see his inventory screen through a video.
Then suddenly the scene changed and the phone now recorded a different area of the room, the place where Percy was.
This means that the inventory box was a type of stasis field.
Anything in it must be frozen in time and space, something that will be very very usefull.
Imagine it hot food whenever you want!
Percy then wanted to experiment some more.
He opened the inventory and the moved the box up and down with one hand.
It seemed it was possible to move the box by pinching one corner of it.
He then expanded it and reduced the size, so far it seemed the inventory could grow and shrink to any size.
Percy then opened the inventory box and placed it below the edge of a table.
Percy then pushed a book that was on the table, off the edge.
It fell down until suddenly it disappeared into the inventory box.
Percy pulled the book out and placed it back as he thought of what he had just seen.
His inventory box could possibly be the most powerful tool in his arsenal.
Just imagine it, someone shoots a bullet at him he opens the inventory in front of him, large enough to cover himself, and the bullets would all go into the box.
He would be protected.
Ping!
Due to your experimentation you have found a loophole in the system!
Your Int is raised by 1!
Percy smiled at this and sat back down on his bed.
He needed to get a move on.
After he mastered English he will start reading books to increase his Int.
He will need to be smart in order to get rich and help his mom.
The second thing he will need to do is find out how to fight, due to all the reading he has been doing lately Percy has become closely acquainted with some of the Greek Monsters, and let’s just say he doesn’t want to meet any of them in dark alley or in a bright alley or in any alley.
Basically never.
It was now 10 PM and Grover still hasn’t come, where was that Greek goat?
Percy shook his head and quickly left his room, it was passed curfew but what’s the point of life if you didn’t live a little.
Ping!
Quest Alert!
Find Grover without getting caught!
Reward, 50 Exp ?
Failure, Detention, Loss of respect from Mr.
Brunner/Chiron YES/NO?
Percy pressed yes and wondered,’oh what’s this a mystery prize?
That’s never happened before’, Percy thought, ‘what could it be?’
Quickly Percy snuck out and walked into the courtyard.
If anything Grover will be in place with the most greenery, being a Satyr and all.
Suddenly Percy heard two voices coming from near the fountain.
One sounded like Grover, the other did not, it sounded…mossy?
If that was a word?
Percy quickly snuck into the bushes and quietly moved in the shadows as he slowly came closer to the fountain in the center of the courtyard.
Ping!
What now?
Skill created!
Sneaking, Lv-1 (20%) Allows you to sneak up on someone.
10% chance of not getting caught.
