Ancient Greece is full of legends and monsters and heroic figures with tragic flaws that remind us of our own shortcomings. Most of the time, the heroes are masculine manly men over thirty that single handedly save the day. Yeah, right.
Let's replace the Superman with an overconfident young man.
That is the beginning of a truly epic tale.

MYTH-TAKEN IDENTITY - a 2025 ONC novella
An introverted, recluse gamer accidentally finds out she's the reincarnation of a Greek god/goddess, and is stuck in a world-altering time-loop until she figures out WHICH god/goddess she's destined to become. ***** Ophelia Jones is...well, she's nothing. She asks for nothing. She WANTS nothing. Just to stay in her dark basement-apartment, do her mindless data-entering job by day, play video games by night. She refuses to participate in a real social life, and won't read the news or be active in the LGTBQIA+ scene that she belongs in. No, Ophelia is done giving a sh**. She'd rather live in her fantasy world, ignoring the real world around her. That is, until a mysterious puddle surfaces in her backyard, and she jokingly wonders if it'll be a portal to another world, someplace better - and she falls into it. Oh, she's transported to a new world, all right -- but not a parallel world or an alternate universe. She's transported to the past; into mythology, specifically. Greek mythology, to be even more exact. Because according to Alfie, her "spiritual guide", she's a reincarnated god or goddess, and has to figure out who. Problem? SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GREEK MYTHOLOGY. ONC prompts 37 + 5Complete

*For fans of Percy Jackson, Greek/Roman mythology and epic historical battles* "In hindsight, knocking someone out with a thousand year old artefact was probably not a good idea."

Gen-O Book 1: Gods and Monsters
After the fall of Cronus and the Titans, Greece has become one of the most advanced nations in the ancient world, modernizing at a rate hitherto unseen, thanks in no small part to The Olympians whose influence has sparked the Olympian Generation of Greece. But as Greece enters this new generation of modernity, many humans both good and bad are now finding that they can be the heroes of their own stories, and that they don't always need the Olympians to solve everything. For years the Olympians have run things unopposed but now will have to face the new challenges of a new world that they helped create.Complete
The Forbidden Rhapsody
You think you know all the stories: the names of Kings and the faces of Gods. You re-enacted the battles in child's play and imagined the monsters that made you sweat cold at night. Yet these fantasies were but shadows gasping in the darkness - distorted, fragmented memories forbidden by the Gods. The time has come to unveil the age of heroes and creatures, when defiance for the sake of glory or love left trails of ruin and waste. It was the age when minds awakened from the shadows of Olympus to face the retribution of the Gods, and Earth was the playground of the immortals.Complete
Defying Fate
I read a Tumblr post while back about Odysseus meeting and adopting the prophet Cassandra, who had been cursed so that "Nobody would believe her." Of course, if he's going to adopt Cassandra, whom he never met in the original story... why not adopt the kid he was supposed to toss over a wall, and perhaps change the fate of what's supposed to happen along the way? But having a seer on board is not as helpful as I (or he) thought it would be... The goal is once again to keep everybody alive on the journey home, but the gods have different plans for Odysseus and his crew, and they may be bigger than one mortal man can handle. Disclaimer Disclaimer: the first few chapters are not accurate. I may update it in the future to be more accurate to the original myths, but this is an AU anyway, so, take it with its grain of salt. I'm just here to have fun.
