greek gods in new york

30

Three years later, a summer morning in New York City.

I yawned and walked from the bedroom to the living room, rubbing Xiao Ke's head in a daze.

"Girl, breakfast is on the dining table, remember to eat it later." My dad's voice came from the sofa.

"Uh-huh……"

I looked up blankly at the clock on the wall, it was already 10:30.

What kind of breakfast is there? Is there still time for lunch after eating!

Probably because my expression was too obvious, the dad on the sofa laughed out loud: "I know you can't get up, so make something real, and have breakfast and lunch alone."

"Aren't you home for lunch?" I noticed that my father was dressed very neatly, as if he was going out.

"Give Xiao Ke back to Hades," my dad replied, "the husband and wife are finally back."

Ok.

Four years ago, Pluto and Empress Pluto took Cerberus into my house on the grounds of traveling.

Who would have thought that this well-known loving couple had been traveling for four full years, and it wasn't long after they came back.

I looked at Xiao Ke, it was still wagging its tail at me foolishly, it seemed that it was looking forward to going home, and it didn't realize that it would be separated from me after returning home.

Three years is neither long nor short.

When I solved "that thing", I was only 16 years old, which happened to be 2019.After that many things happened in the world.

After I became one with the Outer God, my father, Ares, the god of war among the Greek gods, finally woke up from the state of losing his soul.

After a few months, he quit his job as a truck driver, went to have a few drinks with his old friends, and after reconnecting, he sat in a high position in the New York Police Department.

I don't know exactly how my dad did it, but he assured me that it is absolutely legal and that Ares is capable of doing his job.

In any case, since then, my family has completely got rid of the abject poverty class. Since then, I have been living alone at home for a long time, and I have officially said goodbye to the life that can barely maintain food and clothing.

We didn't move, though, and I didn't transfer schools.

My dad said that since the courses have been arranged and we have won awards, there is no need to rely on private secondary schools to refresh my resume.

I agree, mainly because of Meryl and Pandora.

Just half a year after my dad transferred to the New York Police Department as a boss, "Death Stranding" was officially released.The game, which is completely different from the expectations of the public, has ushered in a polarized word-of-mouth, and has set off a fairly intense discussion among gamers.

As a fan of the game producer, Meryl naturally supported her unconditionally, and changed her usual gentle and restrained style, and used the keyboard to fight the opponents for [-] rounds.

As for me, because of the video game god, I rarely play it myself.

The BB in the game is cute and cute, but the "BB" in reality has a human name: Louise.

I withdrew all the energy of "that thing", so the fetus living in the petri dish not only lost its own value, but also lost the specialness brought by "that thing".

So the video game god used a little bit of divine power to transform her from a simple energy storage device into a real child.

Now she is three years old, and she is a cute loli who can secretly pick up her mobile phone and make video calls with me, squeaking and chatting in childish language.

That alone makes me support Meryl's point: Death Stranding is a good game.

And damn it, Max Mikkelsen and Norman Reedus are really handsome.

And what I didn't expect was that the reviews about "Death Stranding" would be reversed later with real-world events.

Just a few months after the game was released, a global virus has been raging to this day.This led to Meryl's protracted "war" being won without a fight-who would have thought that what Hideo Kojima was making was not a sci-fi game, but a real game! In "Death Stranding", the setting that everyone has to stay behind closed doors and live by the courier has become a daily life.

And in 2021, when the epidemic was still lingering, I got the admission letter from the Ivy League University as I wished.

After winning the knowledge competition and choosing the correct AP courses according to the plan, my student profile cannot be said to be particularly good-looking, but it is definitely outstanding in a community middle school.

When he was applying for the school, my dad spent half a day thinking about it at home, and finally made up his mind to go out with a bottle of expensive whiskey.

Turning to the next day, I, Pandora, Benji, and several grandsons of God Stove—that is, a few dolls in the New Year pictures, gathered together to eat hot pot in Lord Stove’s shop. Benji mentioned this .

"You don't know the scene, Nicole."

The elite young man dressed in British style had lingering fears: "Your father pushed the door in with a wine bottle in such an aggressive manner. I really thought he was going to smash whiskey directly on Athena's head!"

I dropped the mutton into the pot again with a chopstick, and Pandora picked it up quickly and took it away.

"My dad went to find Athena yesterday?!" I looked up in shock.

"It's a good thing he didn't come to find fault," Benji said. "Aris came to ask Athena to do something. Nicole, your dad wants Athena to write you a letter of recommendation."

At that moment, I can no longer describe my feelings with emotion.

My dad, God of War Ares, bowed his head to his "old enemy" for many years because of me.

Although I know my dad loves me very much, but to this point, I still cry at the hot pot and all my friends.

But Athena didn't take my dad's whiskey.

According to Benji, she just asked for my student file, looked at it, and felt that my ability and grades deserved a letter of recommendation.It's like the big pie that Loki drew for me back then - put a beautiful resume in front of her, even the picky Athena would not embarrass me for no reason.

She had signed the letter of recommendation that Benji had drafted after all.

A letter of recommendation from the Minister of Education of New York, the weight of which is needless to say.After that, I got my wish and got the admission letter from the Ivy League University, which is also a matter of course.

But I didn't apply to Harvard.

It was Columbia University that finally offered me an olive branch.

My dad was very happy - because Columbia is in New York, which means I don't have to leave home to go to college.Dad said he'd missed me growing up and wanted to make up for it.

I am also very happy about this, in case the epidemic situation in New York worsens, maybe I can still take classes at home.

Moreover, I am not the only one who goes to school locally in New York.

Meryl will also stay in New York. She has not received an admission letter from the Ivy League, but she is about to become a freshman in the Department of Computer Science at New York University.Meryl was also very happy about this—her goal was New York University, which was no surprise.It's great news to still be in the same city with your best friends after high school.

Pandora went to Caltech, intending to inherit the mantle of Hephaestus and engage in aerospace.

Of course, the best thing for her is not to be admitted to a prestigious university, but to be a girl who has never changed for thousands of years, finally becoming an adult!

This is my credit.

The golden apple removed all negative effects, but the power of "that thing" remained in my body.This means that I, like the new god, have my own abilities.

I just used my "divine" power a little bit, so that Pandora can grow normally like us.

For thousands of years, she finally got rid of the appearance of a 16-year-old girl and the tragic fate of having to study in one high school after another since the whole world entered a civilized society.

—In short, everything is getting better.

"What about that night?"

I stood in the living room and asked my dad: "I will come back later, am I still waiting for you?"

My dad shook his head: "Aren't you going to meet your future classmates? Don't wait for me, I'll meet Aphrodite."

Me: "Uh."

My dad laughed out loud: "Don't make that expression, just reminiscing about the past. Do you think Aphrodite still likes me now?"

Now, Aphrodite, who is the fashion devil, is probably going to dislike my middle-aged single father, even if he is still very handsome.

But what kind of handsome guy is there in the fashion circle?

"Then, eat well," I muttered, "Say hello to Aphrodite for me."

My dad sat on the sofa and waved his hand to indicate that he heard it.

After I finished washing, he took Xiao Ke and left.After I finish my meal and pack up my affairs, I will go out according to the planned time.

The admission letter sent to me by Columbia University is Spanish major.

I hope that one day, I can visit Fernando's hometown as I thought.

But before that, I have to take care of my future life.After receiving the admission letter, I met a few future students of the same major on the Internet-this is also the credit of the god of new media.After we got acquainted with each other online, we planned to get together first to meet each other.

In the afternoon, I arrived ten minutes earlier to the agreed coffee shop.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a few familiar friends sitting by the booth by the window.Although we hadn't met beforehand, we had exchanged photos, so I recognized them immediately.

only……

Several young men and women were sitting together, and sitting among them was a little boy with blond hair and blue eyes who looked about ten years old.

I:?

What's going on, I didn't remember that there were young geniuses among the future classmates I contacted?

When I walked in, a girl with pointed ears turned her head.She looked at me, startled: "Nicole?"

I am me."

Then she suddenly revealed a surprised expression.

"Nicole," my future classmate said with a smile, "you never said that you have such a cute younger brother!"

I:? ? ?

Ah? ? ?

When did I have a younger brother, why didn't I know? !

This boy looks to be ten years old. Ten years ago, my father was still a fool. He couldn't have hidden an illegitimate child for so long!

I do have a few cheap brothers who have never met, but——

Oh.

When I met the delicate face of the little boy, I suddenly realized.

In Greek mythology, my dad Ares and Aphrodite had a son who often appeared as a little boy with wings.

The little Cupid was named Eros, and he is better known by his name in Roman mythology.

That is Cupid.
