"Existence is no longer a free right. It is a privilege, a reward... a crime."
After witnessing her father fail to claim his rights to exist and knowing the truth behind her mother's disappearance, Arian Benedictus Zhu became a rebellious child whose sole purpose is to destroy the Superior Courts of Mankind's Life and Existence. She is trapped in a world where gods and goddesses have dominated the world of humans; a world where a person can only exist for two decades for free. After which, every mortal must go under a trial every decade in front of the deities to narrate how "proper" they have been living and defend their will to exist. There are six lower deities: Goddess of Time, God of Emotion, Goddess of Kindness and Love, God of Honesty, God of Mercy and Forgiveness, and Goddess of Universal Affinity. Seated inside the Higher Court of Existence is no other than the most powerful and divine Goddess of Existence, whose final verdict determines a mortal's fate.
There are only two verdicts: worthy or not worthy. Failure to obtain a worthy verdict from the Higher Court of Existence immediately ceases a mortal's existence and he is wiped out from mankind.
However, there is another option that Arian Zhu is tempted to take. She wanted to rebel against the Goddess of Existence, to wreak havoc at all costs against her power. She would rather kill herself than allow the deity the satisfaction of convicting her not worthy of existence. There is one choice that she could accept that would save her from the verdict.
It is the highest form of all crime and a death sentence just by even considering it.
Arian had to become a Thief of Existence.

She was not the woman she appeared to be. Behind those sharp eyes and cold composure was a soul shattered by betrayal and heartbreak. Once, she had known laughter, softness, and trust-but those days were long buried beneath layers of pain and rage. The scars of her past had carved away the girl she used to be, leaving behind a woman with a heart frozen in ice. Trust was a luxury she could no longer afford, and love? Love had become a cruel illusion she no longer believed in. All that remained was a single, burning desire-revenge.

She had become a devil in the eyes of many, but they didn't know the story behind the flames. And then, he came. A man unlike any she had ever known-warm where she was cold, gentle where she was fierce. He saw the thorns and bled willingly just to hold the rose. He didn't flinch at her anger or retreat from her silence. Instead, he embraced her darkness like it was a part of him. To him, she wasn't broken-she was beautiful in ways the world failed to understand. He loved her not despite her demons, but because of them. For the first time in years, she felt the warmth of something unfamiliar-hope. He would give up everything for her: his name, his pride, even his morals. Not because he was weak, but because his love for her was that strong. He didn't want to fix her-he only wanted to hold her, to show her that she didn't have to fight alone.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

The God-Emperor the Ten Year War
(A rewrite of the King of the Gods the Titanomachy) I remember the life I lived before this one-a life of fleeting mortality, ignorance, and helplessness. But that life ended, and in its place, I was reborn-not as a man, but as Hades, eldest son of Cronus, King of Naziru, First Throne of the Triarchs, Supreme Chief, All-Father of the gods... the architect of destiny itself. I was given a second chance to rewrite the past, to bend time and power to my will, for the Great Devourer comes-a force that will consume everything I love, every world, every life. And I will not fail. I will master all pantheons, forge empires from the bones of gods, and carve my name into history so absolute that even eternity will bend to my design. I am Hades. I am the king of all thrones, the inheritor of every divine secret, the master of life, death, and fate. The world may tremble at the shadow of my ambition, but it is my world to protect-and my enemies, even gods, will learn that I am no mere son of Cronus. I am its savior, its conqueror, and its last hope. #ReincarnationFantasy #ModernGods #MythologyReimagined #GreekMythology #TimeTravelFantasy #DarkAcademiaMythos #GodRebirth #EpicFantasy #PoliticalIntrigue #DivineDrama #FoundFamily #ProphecyAndFate #FromMortalToGod #HadesPOV #RebirthOfTheOlympians
