"Relax, I slept in the afternoon, besides I don't need much sleep anyway," Percy smiled as he threw a blanket on Annabeth, "now sleep."
Annabeth smiled and soon she was off to her dream land. Percy sat back in the chair over Thalia's bed and began his watch. He didn't really mind, after all he didn't really need sleep. Plus now he could look at two cute girls sleep.
….
'Okay where did that come from?!' Percy yelled at himself, 'I sound like a fucking stalker!'
Percy looked at Thalia again and he couldn't help but note how long and slender her legs were. Those things could go on for miles! And her hips, god they were so thick and plump, just made him want to-
'HOLD THE FUCK UP!' Percy yelled out as he shut his eyes slamming down his Gamer's mind to drive stray thought out of his head, 'what the hell is happening to me?!'
Percy opened his eyes a bit and immediately they went to Thalia's large firm breasts before Percy shut them close again.
'Okay think Percy think! What happened to you? Why are you acting this way?! You have never even checked out a girl before?! Well there was that time with Marchasis, and Persephone, but those times they were practically naked, it would have been rude not to look! And Artemis was kind of literally on me...wait! That's it!'
Percy quickly his status and looked at his new one;
Puberty- This status will last for the next three years and will cause;
Hair growth in- face, armpits, limbs and genital area
Voice cracking up
Increase in the size of your genitals
Your emotions will get out of hand
You will have a sexual awaking
Prone to be dressed or hyperactive
You will grow taller
You will care more about your appearance
'SEXUAL AWAKENING?!' Percy's eyes threatened to pop out of their sockets when the demigod read that.
'Is that why I'm checking Thalia out?! Then why haven't I checked out anyone else?!' Percy turned to look at Annabeth, now that she was asleep she looked so calm. One could imagine what was under that sheet. Percy could just see the hint of her chest underneath and her toned stomach was clearly visible. Why hadn't he realised how hot she was?
'No!' Percy yelled out slapping himself, 'bad Percy! You are not allowed to check out your hot friends!'
He pushed down Gamer's mind and slowly he could feel the awkward sexual feelings slowly slip away. Percy needed a distraction, something, anything to get his attention away from the two hot girls in front of him.
Percy opened up his inventory and looked through the books he got from Argo. He immediately took out around 15 books or so and began reading them at normal speed in order for them to last longer.
By the time the sun came up Percy had read three books about Roman history earning his that skill;
Roman history- Lv-8 - A basic understanding towards Roman history. Slightly above common knowledge
Percy figured the only reason he got such a high level starting off was because Roman myths were basically a rip off of Greek Myth, which he was a level 15 at.
He also got one more level in physics by reading another book about the forces of nature;
Physics- Lv- 3- Basic concepts of physical science.
Of course he didn't understand anything he read, but it somehow still counted. Percy also read three books describing advanced quantum mechanics but those didn't level his skill up or give him the option to fast learn due to his low level in physics.
There were around 7 books on geography which Argo seemed to have used to try and find temples in Greece. This gave Percy a new skill all together;
Maps, Lv- X
The skill tell you how well you know certain areas;
America - 0.9%
Greece- 50%
The maps were very detailed and Argo even had notes in the side about things that weren't even mentioned in the books.
The last book however wasn't actually a text of any kind. It was a novel by George Orwell called 1984. It was a very interesting book to read for Percy, it was one of the few books he ever read for fun.
It's story was about a future where the government monitors everything, even emotions. It kind of reminded Percy about that Christian Bale movie, Equilibrium. Guess the movie was based on the book.
The book featured a man, Winston Smith, who was a thought criminal, meaning he had his own independent thoughts, something the big brother government he lived under hated. He spent his entire life hiding who he was, what he was. He repressed his sexual urges and desires to rebel until eventually he fell in love with a woman named Julia.
Together they both defied the government and had sex for the sake of sex, which again was not something the government allowed as sex was only supposed to be done to reproduce. Yeah, the government was a dick.
Eventually though Winston and Julia got caught, they were tortured, Julia was lobotomized and Winston was to be put to death. In the end the story ended in a sober note, something Percy felt connected with. It must have been the Greek in him, after all the Greeks did love them some tragedy.
While reading the book Percy related Winston's problems with his own, except they were complete opposites. Winston wanted to show off his sexuality, he wanted to be with the woman he loved, but couldn't. Here Percy wanted to not be inappropriate and control his urges, he wanted to make sure that he was always in control.
But if he didn't react to these urges Percy might end up like Winston, and believe me you do not want to be like that man, ever.
So an answer came to Percy, balance. Percy needed to both control and explore this new emotion he was feeling. He shouldn't hide it like Winston did, nor should he become a total pervert like a certain rich son of Hermes he knew who lived in Boston.
Ping!
+1 to Wis!
Percy blinked, he didn't expect that. Guess reading interpreting and applying books increases wisdom. Percy closed the book and put it away just as Annabeth was stirring.
"Percy?" Annabeth grumbled out as she rubbed her eyes.
"Hey Annabeth," Percy smiled as his eyes went to the girl's breasts before Percy regained control and looked at her sleep filled eyes, "nice nap?"
"Yeah, did you stay up all night?"
Percy nodded, "yeah, Thalia hasn't said a word."
"I see," Annabeth said getting up, "you know you should probably go back to your cabin and get some shut eye as well. I'll take over now."
Percy nodded, "right, well about that. I've been meaning to talk to you about something."
Annabeth looked cautious, "what's this about?"
"Last night, before I came back, I meet up with Hades," Percy said as he began to explain everything that happened between them to Annabeth.
"Wow," Annabeth said as her eyes sparkled with the new information Percy just dumped on her, "so there's a place that will basically make you live in a form of stasis?! It's like your storage dimension only bigger!"
