Chapter 02: Leveling up
First I need to recover the relationship between campers and me. Thalia and Annabeth is the key point for that. Since They were Luke's childhood friends I can make them trust me. But the problem is Gods and Titans. I can't just run away because I will be hunted by both sides.
I went to meet Annabeth, imprisoned in a cell on the ship's lower deck. She looked like she was sleeping and I turn around to leave.
"Luke"
"Annabeth, Are you okay?"
"Let me go, Luke. You can still stop this."
"I am sorry Annabeth. I can't do that. But I am really sorry." I said as my voice took a sad tone at the end. After I leave the cell notification appeared.
<Acting>(Passive)lvl 2
Allow user to act naturally and skillfully. Your acting is 10% more realistic.
In the book, she had feelings for Luke. I can exploit it to my advantage. That sounds manipulative. I chuckled internally.
[INT +1]
Well, that's unexpected. After few hours I was walking on the streets of San Francisco. Suddenly a growl came from a corner of the alley.
I looked at the creature came out which looks like a dog that size of a grizzly bear.
[Hellhound]-lvl 15
It jumped toward me and I quickly sidestepped and slashed it across the body. As the Backbiter passed through its body it turned into yellow powder.

I felt a sudden rush of energy in my body. I took the sword and swing it a few times. My technique became more refined and fast. I need to hunt few more monsters luckily in this world you can find monsters easily.
After killing two more hellhounds I level up three times again. Suddenly my battle sense flared and I ducked down. A bumper of a car flew above my head and hit a nearby wall.
"oops, demigod didn't die." Ten feet tall giant with one eye came into my sight.
"Let me eat you little demigod" cyclops said.
"I will pass this time" I said and used observe on it.
[Cyclops]-lvl 60
Shit, all Monsters I hunted till now were under level 20 but this one is a very high level one. Cyclops swing its club before I could dodge. It hit me like a Cannonball and pushed me few meters away.
[HP 78]
'It is pretty fast for its size' I thought. Time to get serious.
[VIT:10>16]
[DEX:17>20]
[STR:13>15]
[Point:24>13]
I felt the damage I received recover at a fast pace. I activated 'Hyperactive' and I ran towards the cyclops. He raised its club again.
This time I ducked and slide under its legs slashing the knee.
"Argh" Cyclops groaned in pain while kneeling. Without wasting any time I beheaded it cutting its neck.

[You have acquired a Cyclops eye]
<Cyclops eye>
Alchemy material that increases eyesight for a short period of time.
I looked around and as expected no one noticed the battle happened here. After thinking for a while I approached one of the men standing nearby and snapped my fingers imagining the cyclops I fight few moments ago.
Suddenly the man screamed and ran away.
