Percy Jackson: the Winter Gamer

Alexander stood in the sick bay, looking at his unconscious friend. He had been worrying that he might not wake up, that whatever he fought outside border of camp had actually killed him.

It stung. He had finally made a real friend again and now, he was ripped away from him. He didn't even notice the temperature drop in the room until he saw Percy shivering, still fast asleep. He turned away. Percy needed rest right now, so rest he would give him.

The hermes cabin head councillor was waiting for him. According to the script over his head, he was Luke Castellan, an college age man with sandy blonde hair, clear, blue eyes and a pointed nose, wearing an orange 'Camp Half Blood' T-shirt, "Hey, so you are the fresh blood I heard so much about. Of course, what most focus about is the boy currently in the sickbay, he killed the minotaur after all. Good to meet you, I'm Luke"

Alex shook his hand and refocused on the camp. From the sickbay, he could see all the cabins, they housed the demigods here, one for every Olympian, with the undetermined and children of minor gods getting put in cabin eleven, Hermes, the god of travelers. It had all been explained in the orientation film.

"From now on, you will eat with us, sleep with us, train with us. We are like a happy family- a very crammed happy family", he explained, "I would suggest you keep your eyes on your valuables. Hermes is the god of thieves after all"

"That won't be a problem", Alex smiled, looking through his inventory, several crudely made weapons, a few hundred dollars, a dozen Drachma, some food(it regenerated hp! Only a little bit but still, it could save his life) and some ambrosia and nectar he had nicked from the infirmary.

[Ambrosia]

Food of the gods, heals 50 hp per square

Compared to his other food, which healed one or two hp per apple or what have you, this was astronomically high regeneration. He could be at 1 hp and with just a sip of nectar and a square of ambrosia and he would be fully healed. Of course, there was the risk of burning up from the inside out but still, it was an amazing tool to have.

"That's what they all say, until the Stoll twins clear out their backpack, filling it with stones so no one notices there are things missing", he snickered. It seemed to Alexander like that scenario came along often. It was too specific to be just a joke.

They walked past the cabins, Ares, blood red with barbed wire fences, Hephaestus, made of brick and billowing out smoke, until they arrived at cabin eleven. Luke walked him into the cabin, "Hey guys, meet our newest camper, This is Alexander, Alexander, those are your family"

"Determined or undetermined?" one of the campers, a girl his age(Amelia Cricket), asked.

"Boreas", he said. 

In a tone that sounded like, 'of course it's another minor god', the camper who had asked muttered, "Well, welcome to our cabin, Alex"

"Thanks", he laughed nervously. He didn't quite know what to make of all this attention. On the one hand, he liked being the center of attention, on the other, he felt extremely awkward.

"Well, you have seen the orientation film, still, if you ever need someone to guide you somewhere, don't hesitate to ask me", Luke smiled as if he was plotting something, he had that mischievous glint in his eyes that some of the other campers here seemed to share. Probably a hermes thing, "For this next week, you can roam, explore a bit. All I want you to be here for is meals and bedtime. I think one week will be enough to familiarize yourself with the camp's layout"

"Sure will do", he nodded, walking off. To where? Why to the tree named Thalia. He had seen on it a holographic skull, meaning there was a dungeon there. He pressed his hand against the bark and the system notified him of a dungeon entrance.

[Dungeon: The battle of the pine tree

Difficulty: Middle

Do you wish to enter?

Y/N]

Yes.

With a flash of light, he stood on a hilltop, monsters of all shapes closing in on him, no, on them. He wasn't alone. Next to him stood a girl in punk outfit, with short, black hair, lots of leather and lots of spikes.

"Well this is new", the girl said. She was around his age, twelve, maybe thirteen.

"Are you Thalia?", he asked, a dumb question, as her name was displayed abover her.

[Thalia Grace]

"Yes I am but that doesn't matter right now. The battle begins anew an hour after it has ended, it always does and it has been 50 minutes, so, I suggest you draw your weapon", Thalia explained, drawing her sword. Alexander pulled a weapon from his inventory, "You intent to fight with… that?"

"I don't have anything better", he shrugged.

"A newbie, great, let's hope you won't die. If I die, I just reset but you-?"

"I'll be careful", he nodded, as, with a ding, the quest appeared.

Wow, multiple A rank skills and an A rank stat too! Damn, was this what all children of the big three became once they were properly trained? It was awe inspiring. He didn't have time to marvel at her stats, for the monsters began attacking. They rushed up the hill. Thalia threw lightning bolts at them, whilst Alexander impaled them with ice lances. They still marched on though and soon, they found themselves in claw on sword combat. They were on the losing side, until he thought of something, "Thalia, let's combine our forces to create a storm, a big one?"

"Sure, let's try", as they were fighting, they channeled their will into the skies and a storm cloud appeared, the wind picked up and soon, lightning and hail as big as basketballs were raining down on the monsters. They were easy pickings after that.

[Quest completed! Your rewards will be distributes]

"So- what exactly is happening here?"

"I don't really know, I have been fighting for years, this is the first time I got a partner", she eyes him up and down, "that storm… are you a child of zeus too?"

"Nope, Boreas, I-"

[The dungeon is rejecting you. You will be pushed out. You may enter again in a week]

With a flash, he was back in front of the tree. The holographic skull was still there, only this time, it was grayed out and read: 6:23:59:45

It was ticking down.
