So we've heard stories from around the world that pertained to certain cultures and/or religions. Some explain some crazy phenomenon, others explain how some things came to be.
And the fact not many people now this is sort of shocking seeing how many myths and legends are the inspiration of so many things we love... and the source of many tropes.
So this book is dedicated to spreading that knowledge.
Far warning though, because many these myths and legends were passed down through oral tradition, there may be a version of the story that's different from a version you may know. I do requests and it doesn't have to be just Greek. I'll do Norse, Egyptian, well any story.

The Peacekeepers: Secret War
Christian theologian and philosopher Augustine of Hippo once said, "The purpose of all war is peace". In the world we live in today, this saying is one much too true. The Great War, the Second World War, the Vietnam War... these are all examples of such a catastrophe. Which ever one is made topic for discussion, the results are still the same - millions dead, and if not, suffering the aftermath. Despite all this, the sacrifices weren't in vain, as the necessary peace was kept. However, a war rages on, and this time, it could end the world. Two secret organizations, the Peacekeepers, who makes it its mission to protect the world, and the Southpaw, who's bent on destroying it. Hiroyuki Watanabe, a fellow Peacekeeper, is part of this war. A soldier, one too young. Along with his team of brave souls, the boy endeavors to end this secret war, before it ends humanity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: This was and still is my very first story. To elaborate even further, it was also my first time writing anything at all. My original intentions were to test the waters and see how it appeals to any and every reader that comes across it. So having mentioned that, it might not even count as a 'story', it more or less can be looked at as a 'prototype' of one. For any factual inaccuracies or misrepresentation of real-world concepts and ideas, those are on me, and I apologize if ever. I myself am still learning and trying to get the hang of things. On the other hand. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.Complete
I Got Stuck In My Favorite Webtoon
I'm stuck in a Webtoon. Sounds cool, right? No. I should have watched Love Game in Eastern Fantasy a little closer instead of skipping through half the series. The only way home? Convince the dangerously handsome Legendary General to gift me one of his most prized possessions. Will I survive long enough to find my way back or will I lose myself in a story that isn't mine? *** This is a work of fiction that's set in a fantasy world. While inspiration has been drawn from various historical and cultural elements of Imperial China, it should not be considered an accurate representation of the history, politics, social order, spirituality, philosophy, or customers of those eras. Also heavily influenced and inspired by Love Game in Eastern Fantasy.Complete
Living a Lie
A time back in ancient Greece, where gods and goddesses existed, there was a group of kids who had their true heritage hidden away from them. For they were not born of just Greek gods and goddesses, they also had parents of a different religion, whether it be Nordic or Egyptian. And that wasn't accepted in Greece, no that was something worth killing for. Sorry the description of this story is so crappy, I promise that it is a lot better than what the description entails. And I do plan on writing a sequel soon which will be ten times better than this one, I hope.Complete
Book 1: Calm Before the Storm
Thank you giving this series a chance, I really appreciate it :) This takes place a year after The Sun and the Star where the primal beings of Greek, Egyptian, and Norse mythology are allying with each other in order to put the world into chaos, leading a group of half-bloods to try and stop them. This is the first book in a series I started a few years which I moved to Wattpad, so if the wording or grammar's weird that's why. Special thanks to Goddessof_Madness for making the coverComplete
𝒟𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓉𝓎/-/FEM-READER X GREEK MYTHOLOGY/-/
The stories of the past always fascinated you. Particularly, stories about how ancient people saw the world, how they interpreted what was happening and why. This is what led you to Greek mythology. Now, you never believed in Greek mythology, or any religions to be honest. But honoring it brought comfort to you. Or maybe it was just doing weird rituals, to be honest. You were still doing weird rituals before you got into mythology. But either way, this is what led you to the incident. One moment, you are worshiping your wizard Furby that you jokingly call "The Oracle", and the next you find yourself in Mount. Olympus, home of the gods. A/N: I don't usually write straight people so we'll see how long it takes before I cave and Y/N starts crushing on all the goddesses

Join them in faraway lands, ancient kingdoms and even actual hell, as they gear up for war and show what they are made of...mostly radioactive metals and blue goop, but also courage and love.
