Wish: Into the world of Percy Jackson

[Lysandros Evermore, Camp Half-Blood]

It's been a couple of days since we started the plan of building the tents for those who were dislocated into the Cabin of Hermes, and things are going really well.

The campers of the Olympians' Cabins started to feel like their cabins were... boring... to say the least. They even started pressuring Chiron to make a remodeling of the cabins, and after consulting with the gods, he agreed to let them do as they pleases, on the condition their remodeled cabins were to be bigger than the new tents around, in order to showcase their superior status... gods... sigh!

Another piece of news is that... I've made a new plan... the riskiest plan I ever had the pleasure of making. I call it... roll the drums!

Project Harem!

Now, I know, I know... Those are some grand plans, and the obstacles in my way (read angry pikachu) are even grander. But that is my right as a transmigrator! Freacking hell! I'm even greek! Meaning pretty much everyone in this stinky Greek Mythos is related in some way or another!

I would not even be surprised if a pair of "brothers" from the same cabin were to start dating. Divine blood means jackshit in terms of genealogy. Or maybe it does mean something, considering how fucked in the head some of those gods are.

Well, the thing is that demigods have no divine blood, only bits of divine essence, confering us with our unique abilities... and yummiability in the eyes of monsters. Really! Do monsters take divine essence for sprinkles? If so, they might actually mistake someone like Percy for a particularly big sushi roll.

Now back to Project Harem, it's not complex, nor hard to understand, but it is a bit tricky. There are steps I plan to follow so that it can become easier. The whole plan revolves around making a bet with Thalia. A bet with "The loser must allow the winner to ask for one thing unconditionally" as the terms.

At first I thought of having a fight with her, but I decided to drop the idea, as I don't really like my odds of winning against her. She is just too strong in a 1 on 1 scenario, she wouldn't give me any chance to chant my magic, and I doubt any chantless trick would even scratch her.

One might argue that I could overpower her physically, and they would not be completely wrong either, but I just suck at close quarters combat and martial arts, I have been practicing for a couple of weeks, but there is nowhere near enough to best someone who have been practicing for years, that is even more so with someone as talented as Thalia.

In short, resorting to any form of combat is a no go. So I have decided to make something luck related. Why? Because my intuition is freacking amazing! But it also needs to have a sense of skill. Otherwise I might not be able to flame her competitiveness.

And after a little brainstorming, I managed to develop an interesting game. First, we flip a coin, then, one of us look at what side ended upwards, and will say it to the other player. If the other player believes the first one is telling the truth, he says it's true, and if he believes he is lying, says cap. If the second player guesses right, he wins the round.

A simple little game, right? Well, I plan to make it so that the first to win twice in a row takes the final win. As for Thalia? I guess she is likely to agree with it.

So, after greeting some people along the way, and taking a look at the progress of the Tents, I made my way towards the training grounds to check on Thalia, and make my challenge.

Before long I arrived there and soon managed to find her. I gotta say she is kinda hot when she is focused on training. As she had her back facing me, I approached without startling her, and slowly made my way right behind her, snaking my arms around her slim waist.

"Hi there, gorgeous!" - I greeted her, just as she was about to start resisting, making her pause on her tracks.

"Can't you just, you know, warn me you were here!? I could have really beaten you up!" - She grumbled, disgrunted at my sneaky ways of greeting her, earning her a kiss on the cheeks, as I pulled her lithe boďy towards my chest.

"I'm all sweaty and I am stinky!" - She said, rolling her eyes at me.

I just laughed at her, and, drawing my face towards her nape, took a deep breath.

"Nope, you are clear, I think you smell nice!" - I said, as I kissed her in the cheeks again, placing my head over her shoulders, earning myself a small giggle.

"You pervert!" - She muttered playfully.

"Guilty as charged!" - I said with pride.

"Thalia, I've come up with a new game, want to try it?" - I invited.

"Uh? Sure! Tell me more about it!" - She agreed and I explained the rules.

"So, the first to lose twice in a row has to swear in the name of the Styx river to do whatever the winner tells him to do?" - She asked and I confirmed.

"Heh? We have just decided not to get too intimate before we are both older not long ago! Are you already regreting it?" - She teased me.

"Maybe... maybe I do want to do something naughty with you... who knows?" - I answer to her tease with one of my own - "So what about it? You in?"

Turning around and giving me a peck on the lips, she nodded, while giving a casual shrugg, as if saying it was no big deal.

"If you insist on gifting me a chance to make you do whatever I want you to do..." - She gave me a smug smile.

"Careful there, princess, or your head might soon become too big to fit in the room..." - I responded in kind.

"I can't wait to see your face when you lose!"

And so we both left the training hall and started searching for someone to act as a referee. And we soon found a familiar figure. A friendly satyr we had befriended in the past few days. Grover Underwood.

"Hey! Grover!" - I called up to him, as he seemed to be doing something, making him jump in fright, making some goat noises.

"Baaa... Oh gods!" - It seems I really scared him - "Uh?! Oh! It's just you Lysandros!" - He said feeling noticeable relief, his right hand over his chest, as if trying to calm down his wildly beating heart.

"How are you doing man?" - I asked.

"Maaaah! Same old, same old!" - He answered making some more goat noises.

"You can just call me Lys, you know? Is it about The Searcher's License?" - I shook my head at him with exasperation and ask.

"Yeah... I am studying some maps trying to improve my score so I can gain it."

"Are we disturbing you?" - Thalia asked, looking at the bunch of papers and parchments on his hands.

"Um? Baaa! No! By any means! I was about to take a break!" - He nervously denied and shook his head from side to side. It seems he is a tad bit afraid of Thalia. But I can't really blame him, as she is indeed a little scary at times.

"Can you give us a hand on something? It's like this..." - I proceeded to explain what we wanted to do.

"Oh gods! An oath by the Styx? Baaaaa! Why would you do that? Maaaaaaaa!? It's dangerous!" - He seemed shocked by this, and I can understand why.

"Relax, we trust in each other enough not to mess things up!" - I said and Thalia nodded in support.

"Baaaa! If that is what you want..." - He agreed and we now had the referee.

"Does anyone have a coin we could use?" - I ask, as I had left my wallet back in my new half finished Tent, as I had asked people to be done with it before finishing the rest of the book shaped building, so I would have a better place to sleep. Honestly, it was 100% worth it!

Groover started looking around, but didn't manage to find anything, while Thalia put her hands into her pockets and soon took out a Golden Drachma, showing it off to me.

"Oh? You found one! Great, you can start!"

Author's Notes:

The dao of the cliff is vast and wide!

How are you guys doing? I hope you are all fine! First off, thanks for all the support! You guys are the reason I find it in myself to continue the novel!

What did you guys think of his grand plan? We also had Grover showing up, after he didn't manage to help them go towards the camp, as the MC made everyone go off the radar with his spells. He seems quite scared of Thalia, maybe because she is a daughter of Zeus?

See you tomorrow with a new chapter! Until then!

Peace out!
