As I open the temple door, I get smacked with a gust of wind mixed with dust. It smells of caducity and has cobwebs everywhere. You could tell this place has been here for centuries.
I grab my flashlight out of my pack and turn it on. Unfortunately I made it here at night but can't turn back now. Cautiously entering, I look around dodging webs.
I almost jump out of my skin, when I hear something move near by. I flash my light over to it and of course, there's a rat. I continue walking in further, completely mesmerized by the ancient writings and symbols on the walls.
As I continue scanning the room, my eyes land on the most beautiful thing. I walk closer feeling lured to it like its calling me.......

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
