Godly Origins

[Inspired by Origins of Olympus, and GlitchyEx3's book Origins of Peace. Also a bit by mythology]

Gods ruled the world long, long ago. They helped humans and kept the land alive, but few mortals that laid eyes on them lived to tell the tell. Many mortals that did became a god themselves or a servant to the gods.

But know the gods are gone, though they aren't forgotten. Eight of the gods however have been reincarnated as eight humans and must figure out who and what they are, and what their purpose is.
