[A "Percy Jackson" Fanfiction] In a reality of intertwining mythologies, Eris, the Greek goddess of discord, seeks to submerge the world in an endless war, just as she did millenniums ago with the single golden apple that launched the Trojan War. As prophesied, the only ones who can stop her are a group of demigods whom are unwelcome anywhere else, protected by the only known daughter of Hestia in the monster-capital of western civilization: Houston, Texas.

Trapped, like a caged animal. Every movement controlled, like a puppet, and the puppet master: the all-powerful Motherboard. Doomed to a constant and aware resurrection, this all that is known of life for the artificial intelligence (AI) in every video game. This round, the Earth is at war with powerful and hostile aliens. Our hero, a member of the GEPA (Global Extraterrestrial Protection Agency) is forced to save the world repetitively from characters our hero considers to be friends. Our hero does not want to kill, but Motherboard commands, and they must do so, over and over again.
