4 Chapter 04
Just then Grover walked in with a look of exhaustion on his face, "hey Percy."
"Hey G-man," Percy said waving at Grover and dismissing all the boxes, "why are you so late?"
"Mr. Brunner called me into his office," Grover explained as he sat on a chair leaving the crutched to the side, "wanted to talk about my grades."
'Grover must have a worse lying level than me,' Percy said as he smiled at his friend. Grover simply relaxed while Percy kept observing him, he was trying to see the goat legs, something which would prove that Grover was a Satyr. But after a minute of Percy observing Grover's legs a box showed up.
Ping!
By observing Grover you have created a skill!

Percy then closed the box and looked at Grover again, "observe," he whispered.
Suddenly a box popped up;
Grover Underwood Satyr Protector
Lv-20
HP:1500
MP:2000
The Satyr assigned to protect Percy Jackson the son of ? His duty is to make sure Percy is safe and if he succeeds at this he will get the chance to make his dream ture by searching for Pan. Grover like Percy and thinks he is a good friend, even if he embarrassed him in class.
Percy wiped the box away. Grover was strong, very strong. And even though he lied to him Percy still considered him his friend, after all what else can you think about the guy who is trying to protect you?
Percy needed knowledge, he needed power. He needed to know who his dad was, that seemed like the key to everything. And just then;
Ping!

Death.
YES/NO?
Percy gulped, he was afraid, but he needed to do this. He then readied himself and pressed yes.
Thank you all so much for your Reviews and your support, I literally sang when I saw all the follows I got.
Now to respond to all the questions, yes Percy has low stats, there are several reasons for this. One I wanted to start from the ground up. Two Percy was never really all that smart or strong, he was just...well awesome. He had the attitude of a hero and I intend to give him the strength.
Also I am aware that his demigod powers are not much but I have a plan for that. You see I'm going to make Demi-god a type of ability that can be improved upon, and right now he isn't even a teen, his demi-god scent isn't even strong enough to attract monsters. Hence why the demi-god status gives him only a +2 in Dex and Vit. Just say he is a level 0 demigod.
Percy sat down in the library with a huge stack of books in front of him. The first thing he did when he woke up was decided to tackle his low stat problems. The way he saw the first thing he would need is a good head on his shoulders if he was to survive finding out who his dad was.
Why oh why did he ever except that stupid quest when death was the option if he failed?
Anyway, Percy took Han's advice to heart and so the first thing he did this Saturday morning was go to the library. Sure it was boring, and it was not the best thing to do first thing in the morning, but it is what needed to happen.
Percy took the first book, 'Greek Myths and Legends.' After all with a Satyr for a best friend he needed to know everything there was to know about Greek myth, because for some reason it's coming alive all around him.
Percy opened the first page and immediately he was bored. The words seemed to just fly off the page, stupid dyslexia. Percy sighed, looks like the reading option was out. He looked through all the pages and observing the pictures and such, trying and failing to read anything.
But just then he came on a picture of an ancient greek tablet with ancient greek words written on it. It seemed old, really old and just as Percy was about to look away the words started to change and suddenly Percy could understand them.
The tablet spoke about Apollo, the Greek god of the sun, music, medicine and a whole bunch of other stuff, 'but wait how could I read ancient greek?'
Percy then had an idea, it was a crazy idea, but it still was an idea. What if he could read greek for the same reason he had a Satyr for a protector? Maybe he had a connection with the Greek Myths, maybe it had something to do with his dad!
Ping!
For thinking things through and arriving at a logical conclusion you gained 1 Wis!
Percy blinked but quickly wiped it away, he was on a role here. Okay, so we have a lot of Greek myths and his ability to read greek, and ancient greek at that. So what he had to do was find books with ancient greek in them, no problem right?
Percy then spent the day searching the library and after an hour came up with one book which was a translation of ancient greek to english, hopefully this would work.
Percy quickly spent the next hour fully immersed in the book, it seemed most of the translations were wrong or off just a word or too. Like one time they thought Donkey meant Holy. Sure it was a dead language but Percy still found it funny some of the mistakes he found in the book.
Ping!

Percy scratched his head, this was a problem. He needed to get better at English first before reading any book. Percy quickly went to the basic english sections and took out easy books, the kind that kids read and began reading. Hopefully is he has a high enough language skill he could read English better and he should be able to read other books.
Just then after he finished reading a basic fairy tale book Percy opened up his skill list and selected English.
