Olympia : Expansion Arc

Chapter 5

"That sucked." Thalia grumbled as she ate a french fry. They were now at the local burger joint after their ruthless defeat to the Valkyries.

"Yeah," Jason sighed. "You weren't kidding about how difficult they would be. I'm surprised you managed to defeat the World Boss that gave you one of the hidden classes."

Annabeth glared at Percy as he just shrugged. "I had help."

"Uh huh," Annabeth said clearly unimpressed. "He solo'd the fucking boss, which I found it hard to believe."

Percy had told Artemis all about the night where he, Annabeth and Zoe tried to go and defeat a World Boss. Artemis didn't know that that was the World Boss Percy was talking about when he got the Maestro class.

"Well, we missed our shot." Artemis took a bite out of her fry. "I guess we just need to keep looking for more tomorrow night."

"I'm free for the weekend." Thalia said. "Nico and Piper are busy with the new recruits so I have nothing better to do anyway. Plus, it's good exercise."

"Yeah, I'm up for tomorrow." Annabeth said. "We won't be doing any raids or battles any time soon, so I'm have some free time."

Jason groaned. "I'm gonna have to pass. If I'm not at training tomorrow, Reyna's going to kick my butt."

"I guess it's the four of us then." Percy grinned as he chewed through his cheeseburger. "But I don't think we can defeat a World Boss with just the four of us." Percy said with a mouthful of food.

Annabeth looked at him in disgust. "First of all, ew. Don't talk with your mouth full." Annabeth grumbled. "Second, I don't think anyone else is available for the week. And we need to keep this a secret, remember?"

"Good point." Artemis added. "I mean, there're several people in my team that I know are handy in a fight, but I doubt that they could keep a secret."

Percy was thinking if he could bring one of the Argonauts for their little raid. That's going to raise some suspicion. Plus, he didn't know anyone from the Argonauts that wouldn't act like an idiot around his friends that wouldn't embarrass him.

He was about to say something, but Jason interrupted them. "Hey guys, it's the Olympia announcement." He nudged at the TV hanging from the wall.

The Olympia logo played on the screen as one of Olympia's most prominent developer popped up into the screen, Hephaestus. Most people call him Hep.

The five of them were focused on the TV. Percy hadn't heard anything about what Olympia wants to announce from his father, so he was anxious about what they were about to reveal.

Hep cleared his throat. "I'm here to make a very huge announcement for all players of Olympia." He said, as if it wasn't obvious. "To all players, Olympia is now announcing the release of Dungeons."

"Dungeons? Like a basement?" Thalia asked but Annabeth shushed her as they listened to what Hep has to say.

"Olympia has picked and built a handful of places to host Olympia's newest Dungeon system. Dungeons serve as a large area where players can obtain rare loots by defeating gauntlets of enemies. At the end of each dungeon, there will be a never-seen-before World Boss that you will have to face. Aside from the highest of quality and rarest item drops from the bosses, they also drop hidden classes, which is something that we know most of you are dying to get." Hep explained.

The five of them were engrossed in what Hep's saying, as well as everyone in the burger joint.

"Dungeons are only available to a maximum of twenty people at a time and will take a day to reset before another team can attempt to clear it." Hep continued. "If a party member of yours depletes their health bar in the process of clearing the a Dungeon, they will be unable to continue along with their party members. If anyone exits the dungeon in the middle of clearing it, they're not able to participate in it again until the next reset. The update goes live tonight along with several patch notes. Good luck and have fun." Hep finished off as the broadcast ended.
