Percy reopened the perk tree on his new perk and found a multitude of options available for him. The cheapest one though was a new skill,
Empathy - Allows user to feel another's emotions. Cost- 1 point
It was cool, but not really something Percy would like to have. Percy looked at the other additions and saw one which interested him;

It was expensive but Percy knew it was worth it. After all if Percy ever decided to learn how to properly fight it would be very useful. Percy pressed yes and pied the 5 points gaining a new skill;

Percy, now satisfied closed the boxes and looked ahead at the horizon, they would take at least another 10 minutes to reach. So Percy decided to test his new powers. He walked onto the deck and looked for something to lift.
He quickly found a barrel, roughly 30 pounds when Percy checked. He placed the barrel a few feet in front of him and Percy stretched out his right hand. He closed his eyes and focused, really focused. Gamer's mind cleared his head of everything, he didn't think of anything else but the barrel.
'Move.'
Suddenly Percy felt his mind open up on command. He could feel the barrel in question, he could feel it in front of him. Slowly Percy's mind reached out along with a small tendril of mana and attached itself to the barrel.
Percy then lifted with his mind, it was a strange sensation, he never though his mind of all things could move like that. But slowly the barrel started to rattle. Percy could feel the barrel moved up slowly.
Percy opened his eyes, he had to see this with his own two eyes. He saw the barrel slowly being lifted up higher and higher. Percy's mind was calm but he could feel the stress taking over. He lifted the barrel higher and brought it closer to him. The barrel floated wobbling, but Percy had full control.
Thunk!
That was the sound of the barrel landing right in front of him as Percy finally stopped using his powers. Sweat gathered around Percy's head but the demigod didn't care. He did it, he actually moved something with his mind.
"LAND HO!"
Percy got up quickly and ran to the bow of the ship. He activated his 8.0 Eyesight and could clearly see an island far off in the horizon. The island had a bare and rocky beach with a thick forest just behind. Percy looked further inwards and saw the hint of a mountain near the center of the island, 'That must be where the cave is.'
Percy deactivated his powers and took a deep breath, 'just hold on a little longer you guys. I'm coming.'
XXXX
"We have to be careful lads," Galen said in a low tone, "I remember coming here with Odysseus the first time. The forest is filled with monsters and traps laid out by the stupid Cyclops. There is also a charm around the forest that causes everyone who enters it to become influenced to do stupid things leading you astray or into danger. Be careful."
Percy and the others nodded as the two teams slowly entered the forest;
You have entered a forest!
+5 to all stats!
Percy could also feel the mana of the charm Galen was talking about, but luckily thanks to Gamer's mind he was immune to all mental manipulations.
"Here I think I found a way," Marc said pointing to a trail leading into the forest. The sailor took one step onto the trail when suddenly something burst from the ground towards Marc.
Percy however was on alert and had moved fast enough to push Marc to the side avoiding a giant iron spike that would have otherwise skewered him.
"Merde!" Marc exclaimed as he got back up, "it's already messing with our heads. I was sure there was nothing there! Thanks Percy, you saved my life there."
"Yeah no problem. But ah guys maybe I should lead," Percy said.
Galen raised an eyebrow, "and why is that?"
"I'm kind of immune to mental manipulations. It's the only reason I'm still alive after meeting Cthulu," Percy explained making the others remember the incident.
"Any objections?" Galen asked as no one raised their hands, "then Percy, lead on."
Percy nodded and soon the team of sailors and demigod walked into the forest heading towards the mountain in the center of the island. The forest was big and filled with bugs and other type of creepy crawlies. Luckily Percy had brave men with him and -
"-A bug!" William screamed out a he ran away from a big centipede that was crawling up a tree.
Percy sighed, 'okay maybe not so brave….'
