ALL NOVEL Chapter 2: Chapter 02
'Ping!'
For learning about the game mechanics and figuring out how quests work(somewhat) you have gained 1 INT!
Percy blinked, he pulled up his status screen and there it was;
Int-2
So Percy could gain stat points like this? So wise decisions made him, well wise. And learning more stuff made him smarter?
Percy the wiped all the boxes away and cleared his head trying to think, something was going on here, that is clear. But he needed to focus on the here and now, he needed to focus on himself first. He needed to be ready.
Percy then looked at the clock and saw that he was running late, again. 'Shit!' Percy thought as he ran away to the bath grabbing a towel and a change of clothes.
Ping!
Quest Alert!
You're late asshat! Get to class on time!
Reward-
20xp
Failure-
Detention
Less reputation with everyone in class
YES/NO?
'Now you have to do this?' Percy asked as he pressed yes and focused on getting ready. Quickly Percy finished his bath, put on his uniform Yancy Academy uniform and rushed out of his dorm room.
'Wait my books!' Percy cried out and then went back grabbed his stuff and made it just in time to his classroom.
"Safe!" Percy cried out and looked at his classmates looking at him odly. And Percy was looking back, not because he was uncomfortable, but because everyone of them had a name, title and level floating above their head.
Percy blinked once, twice and then quickly took his seat and sat down quietly looking at them from the corner of his eyes. This was just to weird, so his ability affected not just him, but the world as well?
Percy looked at Nancy Bobofit, a red haired girl with orange freckles and a nasty attitude. Seriously the girl was bad news, threw food at Grover, teased Percy and generally tried to steal everything in sight.
And guessed was her level was?
Nancy Bobofit Thief in the making
LV-4
Percy guessed it did take skill to steal things. Just then Percy noticed a blue box in front of him;
Quest completed,
You're late asshat! Get to class on time!
Reward-
20xp
Percy then waved the box away and then quickly pulled up his status bar and there it was,
Exp-50/400
So quest work, the experience and reward worked, and guessing by this the failures must apply as well. Meaning this power must be able to make bad things happen to him. Percy had to be careful, this was in all purposes a double edged blade. It could help him, or kill him.
Just then Mr. Brunner rolled into class and spoke, "alright settle down class!" Quickly every went to their seats. Percy looked at Grover and above his head was a name, title and level like everyone else, except this one was...different.
Grover Underwood Satyr Protector
LV-20
What the actual fuck. Percy read and re-read Grover's title and level, this is huge! The guy he's better than everyone here combined! Did this mean he is some kind of greek goat? Wait….a Satyr is a half man half goat, Percy then looked Grover's crutches, that's why he uses crutches and he doesn't let me see his legs!
'So my best friend if a goat, what's next?' Percy said as he inspected Grover that he thought about it the boy did look a little old to be a student, and what's with that goatee?
Just then Grover looked up at Percy and whispered, "to Percy you okay?"
Percy snapped himself out of a daze and quickly nodded, "yeah man, I'm good." Percy then looked ahead away from his goat friend only to have a bigger shock. Over Mr. Brunner's head was;
Chiron Trainer of Heroes
LV-?
'Okay am I finally gone mad or is everyone around me a greek myth?' Percy knew the name Chiron, and the tile, trainer of heroes kind of gave it away. Percy needed to think, he needed to focus, maybe this class would distract him enough.
After Mr. Brunner/Chiron took attendance he started to teach something Percy found hilarious, he started teaching about Satyrs. Percy grinned, this would be the perfect time to pull a prank.
Quest Alert!
Prank Grover and Chiron by making fun of Satyrs and….well Chiron.
Reward-
100xp
Failure-
Reputation lost with Chiron and Grover
They will learn you know about them and will 'take care of it.'
YES/NO?
Percy read the last part, okay that sounded dangerous, but the reward far outweighed the risk, 100xp! This was something he couldn't let go.
Percy pressed yes and then quickly waited for the right time to strike. Just as Mr. Brunner was talking about how Satyrs loved nature and such Percy raised his hand.
"Yes...Mr. Jackson," Mr. Brunner said turning towards Percy.
"I was just wondering sir, is Chiron a Satyr?"
Mr. Brunner looked shocked and then quickly shook his head, "what? No! Why did even ask that?"
"Well it's just I thought he was sir. You see there is this movie by Disney called Hercules and it showed Chiron, the trainer of heroes as a Satyr that loved to drink till he was red, party till Hercules stopped him and generally be kind of a laid back dude."
Mr. Brunner looked shocked at this and quickly shook his head, "no no no. I don't know where you heard about that Percy, but it's not true. Chiron is a centaur, half man half horse. And while I think he was a, how did you say it, a laid back dude, I don't think he drank and partied."
Grover then spoke up, "yeah Chiron was very uptight."
Percy smiled and then looked at his friend, "what do you mean Grover? Do you know Chiron or something?"
Nancy laughed, "yeah goat boy, know any greek horses?"
Percy turned around angry, but smiled inside, "Nancy a centaur is half man and half horse, not just a horse. And Grover is not a goat, he isn't some… some..," Percy turned to Mr. Brunner, "what was it a Stir sir?"
"A Satyr Mr. Jackson."
"Right," Percy turned to Nancy, "Grover isn't a Satyr! Tell her Grover," Percy said turning to Grover, "tell her you're not a Satyr."
Grover slowly sunk into himself blushing red, "I'm not a Satyr."
Percy grinned, "see Nancy Grover isn't a Satyr, heck he's much of a Satyr as Mr. Brunner is Chiron!"
Nancy, the poor girl was left blinking all the while Percy ranted but the result of obvious. Percy saw Grover blush red while Mr. Brunner looked away as he rolled to side trying to hide his face.
