For some reason Argo had a lot of books on genetics. But then again the man was basically a modern day Frankenstein so it really wasn't all that surprising. After Percy had reached lv- 5 in genetics he had gone ahead and learnt advanced books increasing his level again and giving him new sub skills;
Genetics- Lv- 9- A strong base for the study of heredity and variations of inherited traits.
· Genetic engineering- Lv- 1
· Medical genisis- Lv- 1
· Microbial genetics- Lv- 1
· Human genetics- Lv- 1
Percy understood concepts that confused him before, he understood DNA, chromosomes, heredity values, amino acids, enzymes and so much more. And that's not all, his understand went into different fields as well, like understanding how to cure a hereditary disease or make a baby with a stronger immunity system.
Percy understood why this subject fascinated Argo, Percy understood that deep within Percy's own DNA was the genetic material of a God. Meaning if Percy could find and isolate that particular set of genes, he could theoretically find a scientific basis for all his powers!
Percy blinked…..did he just use the words 'isolate', 'gene,' and 'theoretically' in the same sentence? Percy shook his head, he better be careful lest he becomes as void of morales as Argo himself.
Percy closed the boxes and put the books he read into the bookshelf in front of his bed. He didn't need them any more and it would be a waste to carry them in his inventory. Plus if he kept his books out in the open like this people might think he was a smarty pants.
Percy went back to bed and opened his inventory to look for something else to do, when just then something stuck out. it was the piece of paper that Luke had slipped him before he left. Arriving to the son of Hermes this paper had the reason why Kronos wanted him alive and why he had been targeted.
Percy didn't really know what that second part meant, he always thought he had been targeted because he kept pissing people off. Percy took out the paper and opened it up. It read;
A half-blood of the eldest Gods
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
And see the world in endless sleep
The Hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
A single choice shall end his days
Olympus, to preserve or raze.
Percy's eyes went wide in horror. Panic spread out fast but luckily Gamer's mind took over calming him down.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" Percy screamed out. He read this thing again and again as slowly he calmed down.
'Okay let's look at this rationally. First thing's first, what is this? A prophecy, duh. But what does it mean? And who's it for?' Percy told himself as he read the first line again;
A half-blood of the eldest Gods
'Okay so who are the elder Gods? In Greek myth it's my dad, Zeus and Hades. And do they mean Elder Gods as in Cthulhu?...please let it not be them. Okay fine, but what if they don't mean Greek myth? What if...no, no Luke said this is the reason why Kronos wants me alive, meaning it is Greek and nothing else. So that means the prophecy is talking about the only demigod of the big three alive right now, me.'
Percy sighed and pinched his nose, this was not how he wanted this day to go. He looked at the second line;
Shall reach sixteen against all odds
'Okay pretty simple, they just mean that whatever is supposed to happen to me will happen in like….two years? Well fuck.'
And see the world in endless sleep
'Okay now this is creepy as fuck. What the hell do they mean by endless sleep?! Do they mean sleep sleep or fucking dead?! Does that mean I'm the only person that will be alive when this happened?!'
The Hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap
'And then I die, great. This prophecy just get's better and better. And what's the cursed blade? Should I be worried about someone cursing me and the curse acts like a blade, or is it an actually cursed blade?'
A single choice shall end his days
'Another line about me dyeing, great, great, always excited for that.'
Olympus, to preserve or raze.
'So...my choice will decided weather Olympus survives or not? SHIT! No wonder everyone wants me dead! This things literally just told me I have the power to destroy the Gods!'
Percy closed the prophecy and began to think. His head was swimming with ideas and theories. There were so many things going on that Percy couldn't make heads or tail of it.
Percy took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He started at the beginning, the first quest he ever got, Alecto was sent after him because Hades thought he had the bolt, he didn't. He then found out he was being targeted because he was the son of Poseidon and was a direct confrontation of the pact made by the big three.
'Dad told me they made that pact because they didn't want their children to influence the world to much….but what if it was also to stop this prophecy from happening?'
