Percy sat down and after the class resumed again, Mr. Brunner now looking at Percy with a look of weary. Percy smiled to himself, things were going great! Sure his best friend was a goat man, and his favorite teacher was the legendary trainer of heroes, but Gamer's mind helped him not think about that to much. Things happened, move on.

Percy slowly brought out his Status page and looked at the Exp he gained;

Exp-150/400

He was close to leveling up, he just needed some more pranks like that and he would be seat! Maybe he showed prank Nancy next by putting a whoopee cushion under her seat. Percy then waited for the 'ping' and a quest to come, but it never did.

'Strange,' thought Percy, 'maybe I can't just make up quests. Well there goes my idea of making up stuff as I go along.'

Percy then spent the rest of the day trying, and failing to pay attention in class. By lunch Percy was ready to call it a day. The classes were just too much, most of the stuff went above his head. He instead focused on his next quest, finding someone who knows about video games.

Percy looked around the class, observing everyone's title, one of them must be so addicted to video games that it is their title, and Percy just found them.

Han Jack Game Lover

LV-3

Han Jack, an asian student whose parents came from south Korea. He should know something that could help Percy. Percy got up and walked over to the brown haired boy who was playing a game on a handheld device. Yup he was definitely his guy.

"Ah, hey Han," Percy said as he stood before the boy.

Han looked up from his game and looked surprise, "Percy? What do you want?"

Percy rubbed his head nervously, "well I, ah. Han I was thinking, you're pretty good at video games right?"

Han looked at Percy like he was inspected a book before slowly nodding, "yeah I'm pretty good."

"Well I was wondering wether you could help me out with a game I started playing."

"Really? What kind of game?" Han looked interested as he put down his device and gave PErcy his attention.

"Well it's kind of like an adventure game. The hero wakes up and has to do quests and all, he finds himself in..."shit think something Percy think!, "the greek world. He has to do quests and stuff. But I was wondering wether you could help me do better by giving me clues and such."

Ping! (Oh what now.)

Skill Created!

Lying, Lv-1 (20%)

This is your ability to lie to people, the higher the level the better the lie and less chance of discovery!

2% chance of success, less based on how extreme the lie is.

What?! 2%?! The fuck?! That's all the chance I have of succeeding in lying?! This game is fucking rigged!

Luckily it seemed Hand bought it as he nodded and thought about it for a minute, "okay so what are the Hero's stats?"

Percy recalled and then told them out to Han.

"Holy shit those are some bad stats! I have seen children in Skyrim with better stats than that!"

Percy sighed, "yeah, yeah you don't have to tell me twice."

"Well there is a plus point to this," Han said making Percy stunned, "this means you can chose to improve whatever stat you want. Meaning you can make your own character."

"Like what do you mean?"

"Well usually in games there are three classes, warrior, rogue and wizard. You improve the stat that helps you for each class. For example, a warrior will require an improvement on Str, Dex and Vit while ignoring the rest."

Percy nodded understanding that clearly, "but what about Int, Wis and Luc? Isn't that a disadvantage?"

"Ture but most don't care."

"So what are the best ways to improve stats?"

"Well that would be to do things that would improve them, like say for Str you should make the character lift heavy stuff, for Vit you should make him run a lot. Things like that."

Percy then connected the dots, "so let's say character thought a lot about ideas and such, would that increase his Wis?"

"Well, yeah. But that's not possible since game characters can't think. The best way to improve Wis would be puzzles and such. Reading books would improve It, but other than that I don't really know of any other ways."

"What about stat points? How do I get those?"

"You get those as you evolve Percy, but never use them."

"Then what am I supposed to do?"

"Save them for a later date, for now it is easier to train each stat by doing some work. Like since your game character has an Int of 2, if he simply read a book or two he should automatically gain a stat point if Int."

Percy's eyes widened," wow seriously?!"

"Yeah. But if Int was higher, let's say 30 or something he would have to read a hundred books just for one extra stat points. You see where I'm going with this?"

Percy nodded grateful, "yeah I do. Your are saying that it will be difficult later on to obtain sta point and to do so no by doing menial tasks. Thanks Han this helped me a lot."

Han nodded and then went back to his game, as Percy walked away Han called to him, "oh wait Percy don't forget to always save and have plenty of health potions in your inventory."

Percy looked surprised at that, "inventory?" he asked out loud and suddenly a brown box appears in front of him again causing Percy to jump in surprise and squeak "EP!"

He then quickly regained his computer and looked to find that no one was looking at him, luckley. Percy then saw that this new box was labeled inventory, duh. It had several empty boxes and something told Percy he would need all of them.

Percy slowly walked to his desk and sat down with the inventory box in front of him. He took out a pen and then pressed it against the box pushing it forward. Golden rippled appeared in the box and the pen disappeared from Percy's hands and reappeared in the inventory labeled, pen.

Percy smiled, oh yeah this was going to be good.

That night Percy was looking over his stats, inventory and skills. He would need to improve on them all. So far Percy put several things inside his inventory for safe keeping. His money, which appeared now in his status page as;

Money-50$/0D

He could also take out any amount he wished as the money came out as several bills, meaning the 50$ bill he put inside same out as two 20's and a 10 and so far the money all did not look fake, meaning he could use them.

Percy also kept a picture of his mom in his inventory, it was his favorite one with his mom carrying him while he slept on her shoulder drooling all over her.
