Percy blinked out the temporary blindness that the teleportation caused, "I have got to learn how to do that."
Percy walked to the Mess Hall all the while wondering whether Zeus would take his warning seriously. Percy understood Dionysius's point, if they just started assembling their forces every time someone said Kronos was raising it would soon become the divine version of, 'the boy who cried wolf.' But with that being said Percy would still consider Zeus an idiot if that man didn't at least try and search for the Titan.
The Mess Hall was full like always with everyone eating merely and smiling. Percy walked in, everyone was sitting according to their cabins, everyone had siblings to talk to, everyone except Percy.
The lone son of Poseidon walked to lunch line and pilled up a huge amount of food. He put most of it in his inventory, it could once again prove to be useful. He sacrificed a small portion to his dad and then began to eat his meal alone.
This was one of the camp traditions Percy hated. It just shoved the fact that though they were all called his family, in the end Percy was alone. He ate his meal in silence as everyone else talked and behaved merry, Michael and Marcus used to shout out jokes or tired to talk to Percy, but in the end they went back to their meals.
After the food Percy went outside only for Michael to call him, "Percy? Where are you going?"
Percy shrugged, "I want to just go and take a nap. It's been a long day, I didn't get any sleep on the boat and well... "
"Right, got it," Michael nodded, "me and the other guys are going to the beach for a swim. If you want to..."
Percy smiled, "thanks Michael. I'll think about it."
Michael nodded and the two went their separate ways. In all honestly Percy had a lot on his plate right now. With Annabeth being pissed at him and his return to camp, things just seemed…..difficult to deal with.
He needed some peace and quiet.
Percy walked into the Poseidon cabin and found it just as he left it, minus the broken window from the time Artemis threw him through it.
Percy opened up his inventory and took out his old clothes and threw it into the hamper for washing. He took off his armband of Cerberus, broken watch and several necklaces and put them on the side table. Percy then decided to take a quick shower, it had been three days since his last proper one. The only reason he didn't smell was because of all the times he swam in the ocean.
Percy washed his head and quickly put on a set of boxers and an orange camp t-shirt before falling into bed exhausted. He didn't need sleep, Gamer's body and Gamer's mind took care of that problem, but Percy still liked to sleep, it was the one of the few things he still did that made him feel normal again.
You have slept in you own bed; HP and MP have been restored 100% each. All ailments and negative status effects have been cured.
Percy groaned as he got up again. He looked at his broken watch and saw that he had slept for around four hours. It wasn't much but it was something. Percy looked around, the last three days he always had something to do, something to say to someone or just have fun. But now it was all over and Percy was frankly clueless on what he wanted to do.
Percy shrugged, 'might as well read some of what I and Elsa stole from Argo.' Percy opened up his inventory and browsed through the book he got. He quickly took one out and;
You have obtained the book containing the skill: Basic Botany
Would you like to learn?
YES/NO
Percy pressed yes and the book dissolved into nothing filling Percy up with knowledge.
Ping!
Your skill for Botany had leveled up!
Science!, Lv-X
A branch of knowledge that deals with the physical world.
Botany- Lv- 2- Basic concepts of science dealing with flora.
Percy was impressed, he honestly didn't care about plants, not his thing. He did have an extra subsection in zoology for marine life, but it seems some skill books level up already existing skills. Interesting to note.
Percy then took out a book on basic physics and learnt that as well;
Science!, Lv-X
A branch of knowledge that deals with the physical world.
Physics- Lv- 2- Basic concepts of physical science.
Percy took out a book on understanding genetics and one on advanced zoology and quickly pressed yes for both of them. The first one worked out well;
Science!, Lv-X
A branch of knowledge that deals with the physical world.
Genetics- Lv- 1- study of heredity and variations of inherited traits.
It was it's own branch unaffiliated with anything else. But the second book didn't work for Percy. Instead he got this message;
You cannot learn this book. You do not meet the requirements.
For learning 'Advanced Zoology' you need to have Zoology at Lv- 5
This meant that Percy had limits, he need to raise his knowledge levels before he could actually learn more. Percy put the book into his inventory and pulled out one labeled 'The History of Animals,' it wasn't exactly a zoology text book and it didn't activate when Percy touched it, but neither did Percy's school texts, so maybe he had to read it to gain more levels in zoology.
Percy activated his Speed demon perk and his 8.0 Eyesight and began reading his book in super speed. Gamer's mind helped him understand everything as he read it and in 20 seconds PErcy had gone through the entire book.
Ping!
You have leveled up a skill!
Zoology- Lv- 3- Basic concepts of science dealing with fauna.
Percy in no means remembered everything he read with photographic memory, but he did understand what he read. He knew animal classification, the breeding habits of mammals and a thorough understanding of evolution.
Percy looked through his inventory for what else he could read and advance his knowledge. Soon after an hour and 20 books Percy had gotten a bigger library of knowledge.
First off he had gained a new skill, not just a new subsection, a new skill;
History!, Lv-X
A collection of knowledge based around the past. You know….history.
Greek History- Lv- 15 – A deep understanding to Greek History. You may not posses all the knowledge about the subject
It was strange why he just got this now. But after thinking about it Percy realised he had only touched upon a few great articles here and there whenever he read anything. When it was to do research to find the chains of Hephaestus he read one or two article, never a whole book start to finish.
He also gained a few more levels to different skills;
Science!, Lv-X
A branch of knowledge that deals with the physical world.
Physics- Lv- 2- Basic concepts of physical science.
Chemistry- Lv-3- Basic concepts of chemical science.
Botany- Lv- 2- Basic concepts of science dealing with flora.
Zoology- Lv- 3- Basic concepts of science dealing with fauna.
Marine Zoology- Lv-3- Basic concepts of science dealing with marine creatures.
Genetics- Lv- 5- A strong base for the study of heredity and variations of inherited traits.
