" Normal Text" ~Thoughts~ [System]

—————————————————————

The rest of King's first day at the Camp was uneventful, seriously how does one top visiting Olympus on your first day of camp? Answer you can't. Once King made his way to Chiron in The Big House he assigned an older camper, Kyle of Hermes Cabin, to give him the tour and take him to Hermes Cabin. The camp was full of nature. The 12 cabins all in a Half circle facing the lake a sight to behold. His Grandfather's cabin was overly bright. So bright that he would not recommend looking at it unless you had some sunglasses, or you were a child of Apollo. His mother's Cabin looked like a greenhouse plants growing all over the top and walls of the building it was more conservative and environmentally friendly the side that was connected to Demeter liked the cabin. Kyle finished the brief tour at the Hermes cabin when they walked in King saw the whole cabin full of children. Woah no wonder I couldn't tell the exact number of Hermes campers there are a ton of kids in here this is insane!

"Hey Kyle we got a newbie huh? Is he unclaimed?" An older boy walked over to King and Kyle. "Yeah, Max is Harlequin Liones he hasn't been claimed yet. From what I gathered from Chiron he was the source of all those explosions and monster noise in the forest the other day." Max looked at King and King could tell that Max was not as strong as he was so if there was a conflict King was confident he could take him. "A little thing like this kid causes those explosions huh? I don't believe it." Max said. "Well then maybe you'll believe my spoils of war I got from the Nemean Lion." King showed off the pelt that had gotten from the Lion as well as one of his daggers he had. "Hmm, maybe there is something to your story after all brat." Max ruffed King's hair and walked away.

King looked at all the new things that were added to the system and he would have to admit that he was quite pleased with it. His stats were very high in fact. The new skills that were added and the new items he gained were all just great. He floated on Chastiefol and just sat there in Hermes cabin looking at everything else that was added to the System and one caught his eyes.

[Upon reaching Level 10 a new feature has been added!]

[Player Store!

Buy items from all over the Multiverse. You can also sell items that you have obtained throughout the world and get money or golden drachmas!]

King opened the store tab and looked through everything available to him and was amazed at what he saw. Everything from element manipulation to healing items to swords. Upon looking at the many swords available to him he remembered that his secondary sword "Light" was broken, shattered by the beast. He started venturing through the swords and saw all kinds of different weapons. There were swords like the Sword of the Thundergod from Naruto and, the Trunk sword from Dragon Ball, and then he saw something that interested him.

[SAO- Elucidator]

~That one I need.~ King thought to himself. He clicked on the "Elucidator"

[Elucidator Blueprint S class- Blacksmithing required Level 26 minimum

[Blueprint uses (5)]

[Item cost- 3,500/ 175 D]

~Holy Hades this sword is busted here and in that show! I can drop the 175 drachmas. On something like this. I can also use the blueprint multiple times when I get better materials. This deal is a steal!~ King quickly went through the confirmation and bought the blueprint.

[Purchase added to Inventory! 185 > 10]

~Sure enough like the system stated there was the blueprint for his next weapon.~ A bell brought King out of his thoughts

"Hey newbie, come on, it's dinner time," Max yelled out to King. King floated over to the rest of the group on Chastiefol gaining him weird looks. "What we live in a world where Gods are living and monsters try to kill us because we are children of those Gods surely a floating pillow isn't the weirdest thing you saw," King stated all the kids shrugged their shoulders at his logic and they all filled out to dinner. The walk to the Big House was brief.

The Hermes table was as paced as its cabin so King just sat on Chastiefol and relaxed. They all got their food and drinks. King was led to the fire. ~To Mom, Grandfather, Lord Hermes, and Lady Hestia please let me know if my father is okay. The smoke from the sacrifice seemed to wrap around to comfort him. Thank you.~ King prayed and floated away to eat his meal. Halfway through dinner, Chiron stood up from the head table where Dionysus and some old Satyrs sat, the council of cloven elders if he remembered correctly. "Well, this has been a fine meal to conclude the second week of Camp. I am sure you all heard the explosions and monster noises out in the woods. Well, I am happy to say that there is nothing to worry about. We have a new camper. Mr. D if you would." Dionysus stood up and spoke with a bored face. "Ah yes, fine meal blah blah.. monstrous cat blah blah... everyone please give a hand to our newest camper Harlequin Liones ." Chiron, Dionysus, and Grover started clapping right away followed by a delayed round of applause because everyone wasn't sure if Dionysus said the young boy's name right. As everyone looked at King he started to glow and then got a system notification.

[PING! You have been claimed!! Your titles Child of Demeter and Legacy of Apollo will now have a boost!]

"All hail Harlequin Liones, child of Demeter the goddess of harvest and agriculture. Grandchild and legacy of Apollo god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, and poetry." King stopped looking at his status screen looked at the symbols above his head and gave a million-watt smile that would make Apollo proud. Cheers erupted from the Demeter and Apollo cabins. King floated over to Cabin 4's table to meet all his maternal siblings. King was happy to be with them. "Hi Harlequin, it's great to meet you. My name is Liam. I'm the head of Cabin 4. I also guess I'm your older brother." Liam said ruffling King's head. [Observe], King activated his ability and was disappointed in what he found about his older brother.

Liam Jones

~Luck17

Liam is the head of Demeter Cabin and the oldest camper there. He is really helpful and knowledgeable about plants. He is often seen in the strawberry fields picking the harvest. Since he doesn't give off too much magical power he is not a year rounder.

~None of my siblings on either side is strong. That's disappointing. Honestly, it seems Liam here is the strongest in Cabin 4.~ King was brought out of his thoughts by Liam asking a widely thought question. "Hey, Harlequin you're 6 from what Chiron told me earlier so, how come you have a pillow? Also why and how is it floating?" "You guys can call me King, that's what my dad calls me. Also, this isn't a pillow it's Chastiefol my weapon." King announced. " Yeah, right runt what are you going to do smother us with the pillow to kill us." An Ares Camper said to cause a round of laughter. "So is it genetic to call me runt? Your father called me that too up on Olympus you know right before he got giddy over this pillow." "Yeah, right kid I bet it was your daddy or mommy that helped you and killed the monster before it got you." King shook his head at the kid's arrogance. " I can not in good health summon a weapon in a dining place. It's rude and my parents taught me manners ." "Oh King go ahead don't mind us we could use some quality entertainment," Dionysus called out to him watching the scene from the sides. "Spirit Sword Chastiefol First Configuration: Chastiefol!" King called out light and in a bright light Chastiefol repaired completely and now sat in King's hand. " Well, then Ares Camper care to dance?" King asked, taking up an offensive stance. "My Name is Devon the counselor of Ares cabin and if this is a challenge I accept."

[Ping!

"Okay let's take it outside as you can tell my fighting can get explosive but it was a Nemean Lion after all," King said with a smirk. Chattering spread throughout the room as the two made their way out to the training grounds. "Place your bets everyone on who you think will win." This caught his attention. King made his way to that voice and asked " What's the odds?" "Well, the odds are 25:1in Drachmas and 300:1 in mortal money. Devon wiped the floor with little Harlequin." King smirked ~Hello, another trip to the Player store.~ "Put me down for 10 drachmas and $4,500 on Harlequin Liones." The Hermes camper looked at King like he was stupid. " You gotta pay up, little boy before the fight boy." King handed him the money and said. "Make sure to have my money ready once I win. All of it, which if I'm right, is a little over 250 drachmas and a little over 1.35mil dollars. I sure hope you can pay it would be embarrassing if you can't." King then walked off again to face Devon in this "fight". At the training grounds Devon was there already with a sword in hand. "I thought you ran away punk." King scoffed at that comment. "Just let me know when you get tired of getting beaten up by a 6-year-old," King replied. Chiron walked up and said, "It isn't too late you know for both of you to stop acting foolish and just make up." "Chiron we'll be fine I won't hurt him too badly," King said, smirking and staring down at Devon.

[Devon McGrath

~Luck: 21

Like most Cabin 5 campers Devon has let his Magical training fail. But his physical strength is something else to behold. One solid punch from him would take any normal camper out which excludes you and his cabin mates.]

King got into a defensive stance with Chastiefol ready to fight. "Okay everyone this match between Harlequin Liones and Devon McGrath will start soon. No killing or Maiming blows. The fight stops once one of you can no longer go on or forfeits. The use of overly aggressive magical attacks is forbidden. With that being said, the fight begins!" Devon lunged at King very slowly. Something weird happened to King as Devon began his assault.

[Ping! Future sight Activated!]

King's eyes turned an ominous green and he saw right through Devon's attacking side, stepping a downward sword swing and then ducking under a follow-up punch. Then his eyes turned back to normal and King punched Devon in the stomach knocking the wind out of him

[-250 damage]

Devon was on the ground. King asked, " Do you yield?" Devon got up angrily and started to swing his sword at King's stomach and chest but King dodged every blow and then jabbed at the inside of Devon's leg drawing blood and making the older boy take a knee.

[-467 damage Plus bleeding Affect]

King now spoke to Devon in a more serious tone, "Yield, I have cut you deep in the thigh and I am only playing defense so yield and go get healed." Devon saw red and went to thrash out at King this time taking the offensive he came around and disarmed Devon and placed the tip of Chastiefol under his neck. "Chiron this fight is over," King told the old centaur his eyes were cold, becoming serious about ending the fight. "Harlequin takes the fight!" King removed his sword from Devon's neck and then walked away. "It was a good fight but you lost your cool and then the match. It was fun sparring with you. Maybe if you get your emotions in check we can do it again. Now time to go get my money." King said turning away from Devon at the last sentence. King found his way to the Hermes Camper that had taken down the bets. He floated up on Chastiefol and spoke, "Well kind sir I believe you owe me money and quite a bit." King walked up having jumped off Chastiefol and held out his hand. The Hermes Camper seemed reluctant but handed King a decently sized pouch. King looked at the older boy with an upward eyebrow. "Well, kid since you're new to his world. It's an enchanted pouch I got off a Hecate kid can store as many items in there as you want depending on the size. That size can hold 5 different items but as much of that item as you want." King nodded it was a smaller version of his inventory. King then asked him, "How do I know what's in the bag then." The older boy took the pouch, "Αποκαλύπτω'' he spoke which King translated in his head Reveal the pouch now had black etching on the side explaining the contents and sure enough it was his money but it wasn't the amount he was expecting 950,000 Mortal Dollars, 2,300 Drachmas "That's more than I expected in Drachmas and less in mortal money why is that?" King questioned. "Well, it's because someone came in and bet on you in cash it was mainly Demeter Cabin and Chiron the odds increased in your favor more, and then boom less mortal money and the other way happened with the Drachmas. Also, the amount of people who call the campground home is insane so when people pool together money not to mention the nymphs and other creatures that have their own money when that gets going there is some serious cash around. You know kid you just got so much money off me why the heck do you care honestly you just made a killing didn't you?" King shrugged and walked away finally looking over the rest of his Notifications.

Floating away from the training grounds he looked into his Inventory and saw something he had forgotten.

King made his way to the campfire and was greeted with a face he wasn't suspecting.

[Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth, Level???]

King was wide-eyed at the child poking at the flames stirring the coals. King floated up to her and stayed there sitting on Chastiefol around the flames enjoying the warmth. Hestia took a moment to notice him. She looked at him expectantly and then frowned when he didn't make eye contact back. "Why are you frowning?" King asked Hestia. She jumped a little at this and looked at him again. "So you can see me! I thought you couldn't that's why I was frowning." "Well, Lady Hestia it's an honor to meet you." Hestia looked at him and studied him. "It is nice to officially meet you Harlequin Liones. No need to be so formal with me Hestia is okay on its own." King nodded. "My nickname is King. My father gave it to me when I was a baby. What are you doing here Auntie?" Hestia giggled at King's use of the Aunt title for her. " I always hang around the hearth after all hope- " is strongest at the hearth" King finished her sentence. It was his favorite quote from the original series. He knew it by heart. "Yes, that is exactly right, King. Where did you hear that from?" Hestia asked. "My father has said it from time to time." Hestia made her way closer to the young boy and he gestured for her to jump onto Chastiefol. " Oh my!" She exclaimed as she sunk into the pillow. King Chuckled and helped Hestia get a better spot. "Thank you for help. Also, thank you for the sacrifice earlier and you'll be happy to know Hermes, Apollo and I made sure he got home safely." King gave Hestia a million-watt smile. "Thank you so much for that I appreciate it." She nodded.

After a few minutes of watching flames King spoke again, "Well Aunt Hestia I should go to Demeter's cabin and get settled in. I'll try to visit you often so you won't get bored." Hestia wrapped him into a hug and gave her thanks as she slipped off Chastiefol and flashed away in flames. So cool. King floated off and made his way to cabin 4. He knocked on the door before opening it. "Why did you knock? You live here, you know." A voice said with a giggle. King looked around and noticed the rows of beds and kids all in the cabin. Then he turned his head in the voice's direction. King saw a young girl.

[Emma, Child of Demeter, level 8]

"Looks like a younger brother finally showed up." Emma stated, " Liam and the other boys in the cabin made sure to get you a bed ready. We were all impressed to see a child of Demeter fight one of Ares Campers. After all, most of us just help with nature spirits and the strawberry fields. Nice to know we have a fighter now." Emma skipped away to go talk to some of the other kids. King floated to where the boys were and was met with applause. "Well, boys there he is the guardian of Demeter cabin," Liam said once the clapping stopped. "Please tell me that does not stick," King said. The other boys laughed at his misfortune. After a few minutes of talking King was left to his vices. Finally lying down in his bunk with Chastiefol King got to look at his screens.

[Due to Demeter a new skill has been unlocked!

[$955,800/ 2,310D]

~The world of Shinobi huh? Sounds like Naruto and probably is because the system says a different world.~ King thought to himself. ~If time flows there as well to make the characters match my age it will be best to go there later once some other major events are happening.~ King rolled over, closing his eyes and the player window, and drifting off to sleep
