If you're here, then you probably like mythology. That's good. Helpful, even. Because mythology as you know it is about to get a bit of a twist.
In these pages, one of our best and brightest will regale you with some industry secrets, sharing the story of her first quest after becoming the mythological equivalent of a secret agent. A person you may know from the old stories as a "hero," who, nowadays, looks more like a normal person than you'd expect. A super buff normal person, but still.
If you're at all intrigued, read through the prologue. You may enjoy our mini crash course. And who knows? Maybe you'll enjoy the story after that.

Hades Legacy (Hades Series #3)
*to be edited: please excuse any continuity errors and / or mistakes in regards the writing quality of Hades* Ellie is just like every other normal eighteen year old girl in the world, except for one big reason. She's the daughter of Hades. And an immortal goddess in charge of managing suicide in the world. And she's been locked in the darkness of the Underworld for her entire life. So basically, her life couldn't get any more abnormal if she tried. Ellie longs to experience life like everybody else her age, but for as long as she can remember her parents haven't let her travel up to the surface, and she's been forced to imagine the upper world through the stories her mother told and the books she read. Until, one day, her parents finally give in and let her go up to the surface to see the world through her own eyes, and her world explodes with colour. Then, just when she thinks her life couldn't get more exciting, she stumbles across a very particular green-eyed god; one who throws her perfectly organised world into complete chaos and shows her what it means to live in the light. But what Ellie doesn't know, is that the Fates have a prophecy for her. A prophecy that she couldn't escape if she tried. A prophecy that has tangled it's gnarled fingers into the threads of her life, and may just throw the world into the darkness Ellie has spent her whole life trying to escape. "He's the son of Aphrodite, she's the daughter of Hades. He's light, she's the oncoming darkness. He advocates for love, she's the embodiment of death. What could possibly go wrong?"

Unwanted- COMPLETED ✔ (EDITING)
"Do you really love me?" What happens when an introverted girl meets one of the most popular guys in school? Nothing good, let me tell you that. She's bullied, has a messed up past but, what about this cool new guy she meets? Will he be any different from her or will he be just another jerk that makes her life a living hell? It's just some things can't be kept secret. But this, this her story of how everything changes. Her life will never be the same. A/N Everything is just weird in the beginning so please just bare with me here, it will improve as you go along. It's so kind of obvious that I was a beginner when I started this so I never knew what POV to put it in. Also, this is the new description I made for this, hope it's less cringey. Prepare for a unusual, confusingly cheesy since I wrote it, twist ending. Tbh, I don't think I will edit any time soon, lol. Adios beautiful people! XOXOComplete

Last days chronicles
In the twilight of existence, the whispers of the ancients have reached a fever pitch. The prophecy of Parakletos, the primordial seer, has long been veiled in mystery, but the veil is now lifted, revealing a catastrophic fate that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the realms. For millennia, Parakletos's visions have foretold the coming apocalypse, but the specifics of its arrival and unfolding remain unknown, for even the most powerful of primordials has its limits. The seer's prophecies have revealed the first six cataclysmic events that will herald the end of days: - Death itself will meet its demise - Hope will succumb to the void, leaving only despair - A banshee's final wail will shatter the silence, signaling the end of days - A cursed womb will unleash a horror beyond comprehension - A succubus's deadly seduction will ensnare the unwary, birthing a new era of terror - Peace will be vexed, and death will reign supreme As the end times unfold, the gods and demons tremble with fear, knowing that the fate of creation hangs precariously in the balance. Will you dare to bear witness to the unraveling of the realms, or will you succumb to the darkness that awaits? The choice is yours, but the outcome is inevitable.

Set Me As A Seal ✓
A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------Complete

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
