[Good Job host.]
System, why aren't you showing me any of the rewards? And don't tell me that there are none, I know you by now. There must be a literal windfall of rewards...
[As most rewards have been detected to be either outside of your current capacity, high risk and or too overlapping, the host will only receive the none-dangerous items. No skill or domain will be rewarded as to prevent the host from a power overload.]
So I worked and acted accordingly to the fates design only to not receive any actual rewards?
[Host, by now you have managed to connect your Home-Dimension and domain of the deep sea to your inherited divine-domain from your father. During your quest you have created several new metals that could be of use and you even gained 2 more familiars. Let's not forget the gift the three fates promised you almost one year ago.]
Just tell me the real reason why you don't give out the rewards...
[You have to much on your table right now. First you have to figure out how to go and help Charlie with her hotel while also attending school, as your mother will make you go no doubt. Your ability, Nightmares, has been unusually quiet. The system has used the opportunity presented by the rewards to prepare protocols and countermeasures to prepare...]
That sounds incredibly ominous, can you tell me what's happening?
[I am sorry, host. However I can't tell you what I don't know. The only indicator that something is happening are the slight tremors currently rippling through the ••••••[Redacted].]
[I.... Host, something is interfering with my •••••[Redacted]ERROR....]
[Emergency Shutdown]
System? What the hell is going on? System!?
The fuck was that?

"Hello, son." came a sudden three-prople-choir from behind me.
"Uhm...hi?" I was currently freaking the fuck out. While yes, I was relieved to see the system would be online again in about a week's time, I was still freaked out as up until now nothing had been able to interfere with the system, not even the fates who are all on the second place regarding power, only the primordial gods and goddesses being in first. Though if we did consider chaos as an entity, then they would be third-place, obviously.
"Why do stunned? Did you not expect us?"
"Not really, honestly I almost forgot about the discussion we had last year."
"So you do remember. Tell us, how did you like the prophecy we sent you?" asked Clotho.
"It was pretty obvious to me. Though I don't think others might have figured it out. Then again, the part about my companions was pretty obvious. Anyway, why did Annabeth throw me and Grover over that cliff?" I asked, carefully avoiding actually saying Tartarus. Regardless of how often I dream or dreamt about it, it always managed to unsettle me.
" Ah yes, about Annabeth..." began one of the three.
"The matter is directly related to your next mission from us."
" However, first the reward we promised you."
Now, Lachesis pulled a chalice from the thin air.
" While you were out, completing the quest, the three of us were preparing your gift."
" And believe us, you will find it to be of use in the future." said Atropos.
Then all three gave me a sudden grin while saying together:
" After all, we love a good misdirection."
They immediately disappeared right after.
