Chapter 62
Percy pointed at what the greek used to where instead of leg armour, "that thing. Can I not wear a skirt. I'll admit I have some fine legs but I don't want to put them on display."
"Haha, well I'm sure you can just wear a pair of jeans if you need to Percy."
Percy smiled back, "okay let's do it. When will it be ready Nina?"
"Ah, two days, meaning you can't use it for capture the flag tomorrow."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Percy said scratching his head, "well can you get it done by then?"
"Is money not an issue?"
"Yup."
"I can get it done by then," Nina then took the armour off and Percy quickly turned to walk out. But just then Percy saw a huge tire sitting in the corner of the Forge, suddenly an idea popped into his head.
"Hey Nina, can I borrow that for a second?"
A few minutes later,
Percy now stood in the Arena with a chain around his torso and the giant tire behind him. Percy quickly performed a few stretches and got ready for the run. He then moved forward, each step was like pushing up against a mountain as Percy slowly dragged the tire across the track.
The first few steps seemed easy. The next few seemed challenging, but after that it became hell. Percy's shins burned but the son of Poseidon didn't stop. He pushed himself and by the time he finished half a lap;
Ping!
Due to strenuous exercises you have gained, +2 Str and +4 Vit!
Percy closed the box and focused only on pulling the tire along. The weighted wristbands on his hands were helping improve his strength, and he was carrying a FREAKING tire! Him pushing himself increased his stamina and hence this should be the perfect exercise to improve both Str and Vit.
As soon as on round was down Percy collapsed onto the ground and started to pant. It was done, one full round done. Percy then looked around and saw several campers that were training in the Arena before were now looking at him.
"Ah...can I help you guys?" Percy asked and immediately most of them turned away leaving Percy confused.
Well whatever he had a job to do anyway. Percy got up and began his second round. By the time Percy finished the second round his Str had gone up by 2 and his Vit by 3. Now Percy collapsed on the ground exhausted. Gamer's body might make him not feel fatigue but he was still exhausted beyond belief.
Percy took of the chain around him and then moved the tire upright. He then began moving the tire back towards the forge all the while the campers were giving him weird looks. After Percy put the tire back inside the forge and thanking Nina for letting him use it Percy walked over to the Athena cabin.
Inside Percy found the Athena kids busy with their own projects so Percy just sat down and looked over all the research material he gathered on the underworld and Hades. He was prepared to go down there and fight, but he had no way of beating a god. So PErcy spent most of his time here doing research about what he could use to defeat Hades.
Annabeth walked over, "hey Percy you're early today."
"Yeah I wanted to get more work done," Percy said with a smile.
"So you're going to be here the whole day?"
"Yup," Percy smiled, "aren't you a lucky girl."
Annabeth grinned, "no Mr. Jackson you are the lucky one, you get to be in my presence all day long."
"Being vain doesn't suit you Annabeth."
"Oh please it suits me just fine," the child of wisdom said with a smile, "no get to work. We children of Athena don't like laziness."
Percy saluted and quickly got down to his business. Over the next five hours that Percy spent in the cabin, the longest he had ever spent. He read about all the myths surrounding Hades and he thinks he finally found something to defeat the bastard, or at least stop him.
Ping!
Due to constant studying you have gained +5 Int and +5 Wis!
Percy closed the box and quickly walked out of the cabin. After a quick lunch at the Mess Hall Percy went to the camp fire where the Apollo kids sang songs and everyone was in an active mode. Percy wondered why and just then Annabeth came up to him, "hey Percy got a second?"
Percy nodded, "yeah sure no problem what up?"
"Well you know that the capture the flag game is tomorrow right?"
"Ah so that's what everyone is excited for."
"Yup, anyway I was wondering want to join my team?"
"Really? Wow Annabeth that sounds great. Who all is there?"
"Well there is us, Athena cabin and Hermes cabin. And we just managed to get Apollo cabin in as well."
"Sweet. Okay I'll join, where do I sign up?"
Annabeth chuckled, "you don't have to sign anything sea head, just be there."
Percy nodded and the two talked for a while after that. Later at night Percy was in his cabin alone. He put his hand up, 'ID create: Empty.' The outside world turned red and Percy quickly grabbed his bow and arrow and left for the Arena again.
The Next Morning,
It was the second morning that Percy had gone without sleep and so far it hadn't actually affected his body. Before if he stayed up a few hours past 10 he would start getting drowsy but now he felt fine.
Ping!
Due to constant bow and arrowing your skill has leveled up!
Archery, Lv-63 (30%)
You can shoot an arrow, it just might hit it's target.
Accuracy- 63%
Due to semi- accurate shots you have gained +3 Dex!
He gained nearly half the amount of levels he gained last night, but that was alright. He wasn't going to win any trophies for a fancy shot any time soon but he didn't care about that. All he wanted is to be a good shot.
Percy then walked back to his cabin, broke the ID and then came out. After breakfast he went to Athena cabin and borrowed a couple of handheld puzzles he saw the Athena kids solve. He then went to the Forge and grabbed the tire and chain.
In the Arena this time while Percy pulled the tire with the chain around his stomach he also began to try and solve the many puzzles he had grabbed. One of them was a cube which you had to open by twisting and turning. Another was a sphere where you had to twist it until you found the secret image printed on it.
