Then you’re expecting too much.
It’s not like we had any real weapons.
We are kind of empty handed.
Well not having a sword when everyone else does is very tame compared to everything else we went through. We’ll live.
Who is the charitable soul that will make you a sword for free?
If the gods do they’re playing favorites.
And most if not all the students wouldn’t do it.
I don’t think the gods have any money. It’s not like they need it.
Technically the currency of Olympus is drachmas.
You may have meant the Gods themselves have no need for a monetary system though, to which point I would agree.
I know Olympus has money.
I meant that the gods don’t need it.
They’re the gods. I bet they can just essence clothing or something.
Whether they can or not, I would be very surprised if they did. The Gods seem to be apathetic at best. Straight up waiting for the chance to murder you at worst.
I’m not particularly fond of the seething hatred of the Gods that seems to permeate quite a few peoples playthroughs, but I wouldn’t put it past them to do anything as charitable as summon clothes for us. Or grant us with a weapon for that matter. At least for now; later in the story we’ll get a chance to further personalise our outfit and/or our weapon, most likely. Or perhaps not.
But I doubt the Gods will neither give us anything nor make our lives more convenient.
But if they want my mc to fight for them under those condition then they’re expecting too much
We probably had at least a switchblade or pocketknife something somewhere, it’s kind of a hobo-lifestyle essential.
It wouldn’t have been nearly as fancy as what our supposed new “peers” have, but at least it would have been ours.
Yes, but that and our crappy clothes are just another couple of humiliations and they do pile up fast.
Well I still think they must either give their demigod children some sort of allowance or gifts, or allow them to earn it somehow. They don’t do any of that for the mc though.
But their demigod children do and they obviously regulate the economy on Olympus somehow, so I don’t think they’re nearly as ignorant on this issue as you seem to be implying.
Yeah and?
They’re not gonna suddenly start feeling sympathetic.
Doubt it. Else wise we wouldn’t need to improvise a weapon early in the game.
Well then I guess your MC needs to work on their self confidence.
The demigods probably do work for it. To bad we haven’t done anything to earn it then huh? But we did just get here.
Just because they decide where the money goes doesn’t mean they can just pull out some of it to give us.
That’s just asking for everyone else to hate us even more.
We don’t know that and it may depend on the “godly parent”, maybe some give generous allowances, some less generous ones and some who make their children work for it. At this point we just don’t know.
In any case they should have started our highschool classes with forging then so we could at least have made a really simple blade for ourselves. But,no, they start with frigging useless English and one gym session.
Olympus is not a very conducive environment for that tho.
We’ve dodged their packs of psychotic little killers for nearly three years, I think that should count as a “quest” of sorts.
Besides if they seriously mean the whole we and Aeson are “one person” bullcrap we could have just borrowed one of his knives/daggers/swords for that silly ceremony.
Of course they only mean that in that we get to do most of the crap and he gets most of the glory and glamour, but still…
Well we can do our best and try.
I’m surprised they aren’t charging us with evading.
We only participate in the trials as one person.
So no real benefits.
It was probably all deliberate, I’ll just let Mara answer that one, but I agree with her that they probably knew where we were the entire time and if they really considered it vital to have us on Olympus anytime sooner, they could just have sent someone like say Hermes himself, instead of periodically sending out packs of students to, as Mara says, chase, harass and menace us.
Ergo we did one of their “quests” if they pay the other demigods for that sort of crap then they should damn well pay us too, preferably before that ball so it can actually do us some good.
I know I just said that, we get the crap he gets the glory and what glamour there is, so no real benefits for us indeed.
Yeah, being the runt who gets beaten by his supermodel peers in two seconds flat and who doesn’t even have a quiet place to think, makes that real easy. 
Yes and they throw us into their deathtraps without any sort of explanation or preparation (when we could have had at least two days to prepare, which would have been better than the nothing we get) and the only thing we can “earn” out of that is a stupid “hero” title and the reward of being stuck in our crap demigod body as it is forever the moment we receive that “reward” Which is great for Aeson I suppose but being stuck in his demigod body as it is would suck for my mc.
And I do think that “reward”, combined with some of Cronus’ terms and conditions attached to our existence is going to make it a damn sight harder than it would seem to be, provided it is possible at all, to use that essence to change our physical form and appearance.
We keep going around in circles and discussing the same few points over and over.
It might be better to let certain matters drop? I don’t think anything new is coming from this discussion tbh…
The voice of reason? Here? Never!
But I do get why people continue this circular debate, we are all awaiting the next installment.
I don’t understand why people see bad discussions in circles. Discussion in circles has been the base of philosophy and theology. It is not useless, it helps to understanding other opinions. What is happiness? Have angels gender? How many angels could fit on a needlepoint. But maybe is because I am Spanish and for us is normal
That only works when the circular discussion brings up new ideas, views and theories, not when everything anyway gets suffocated by the exact same arguments over and over again no matter what.
Yup. That’s so true. Hahaha…Spanish TV shows usually chew the same topics for weeks. Specially if it’s about Politics and Economy. It’s better to just catch up with the news once weekly.
I was going to share my POV but I prefer to wait for the update before making a long(er) post. It does seem like almost all of the points discussed will change (such as the clothes, the ceremony etc.) And I’m pretty sure Saint will stop invading our personal space 4ever (which I believe was just once, at the beginning) since it seems like it bothered quite a lot of people (my MC didn’t care and I would have totally forgotten the detail if it wasn’t mentioned so often by the…non-fans of our dear brother hahaha).
Anyways, regardless of the changes, my MC is still going all Kratos on the Gods.
And Sage. I don’t care if the whole scene of her attacking us at school gets deleted, I still want revenge for that. Lol She pissed me way too much. My MC is innocent and payback will be a bitch.
I just wonder how you do it from the first page you had me hooked
Totally our tv is all about circular discussions lol . And about Sage attack I really think it won’t be changed. I have a strong feeling about it . However, I could be wrong 
I’m wondering why we can’t just admit what we did to Sage’s brother at least somewhat nicely. The most we get to confession when we don’t want Poseidon as a dad is patronizing it seems like unnecessary conflict. The options seem much more applicable to one who didn’t kill him.
My mc regarding Saint doesn’t mind him. He’d be happy for another brother. Everything bad that happened is a result of unreasonable circumstance or personal preference and my Mc doesn’t hate people until he finds active malice. I’m mean even if you dislike someone for their personality it doesn’t mean they’re bad.
My MC seems suspiciously similar to yours, at least in this aspect.
Also, my MC ‘trusts’, so to speak, other easily. Though how much, is another question altogether…
It depends each one life. If you have suffered abandoning for your family or parents it’s more easy that you don’t trust the people that have abandoned you. That makes mistrust in people too. It is not bad mistrust people like all you seem to imply. It is just another way to see life, and practical if everybody seem to bullying and try to killing you.
Our mc had suffered all his her they all damn childhood. They were abandoned several times for their parents and for they fake parents. They were let to rotten at 15; sending assassins and probably having to sell their bodies for money. Then Saint treated like shit and doesn’t want tell you a thing and worse he was an asshole . He could say just Sorry Pc I can’t tell you anything or i would be in trouble. I am sorry for having to attack you… nope, he was an ass laughing about my pc and acting like mister bully. Then provoked me a comatose status and WHAT DOES HE DO WHEN I AWAKENED? APOLOGIZE? HELL NO STALKER ME touching me like a rapist. Then he say he doesn’t trust me in my face but five seconds later HE SUMMONED ME LIKE MARA WAS HER SLAVE… of course, Mara didn’t go he could summon zeus if he dare… He is an asshole, and totally garbage and the chocolate fountain he did it on PURPOSE … i hate saint more than Gods. Because Gods are immortal and don’t understand really how humans work. They are other creature. Saint is human and knows the harm he is caused to us, he just like being a bully asshole.
Like always my opinion each one has one and all are correct for their characters
Can’t emphasize enough how traumatic this part is, having dealt with trafficking and sexual assault victims professionally.
Compounded by the fact that all this time everybody else was living lavishly on Olympus and probably laughing at our plight.
Yes, like I said, a simple, honest admission that he was forbidden to tell us anything actually relevant would have helped, of course Saint is never honest with us.
Well my mc still hates his “dad” and possibly Hermes (being the god who was supposed to supervise those damned seekers) more, but Saint is definitely the human character I dislike most.
