The Book Of Beginning (PJO X Male OC)

Zach Theoran didn't believe in monsters-until one tried to kill him.

For fifteen years, life at Westover Hall was nothing special-just a blur of detention slips, boring classes, and a constant feeling that he didn't quite fit. He was stronger, faster, and quicker to anger than any normal kid-but never enough to make sense. At least, not until two strange new students showed up and flipped his world upside down.

Monsters were real. The gods of Greek mythology? Real too.

Turns out, being the son of a Titan doesn't come with birthday cards-it comes with monsters that want you dead and a prophecy that could destroy the world.

Lukas Herles had been fighting monsters long before Zach knew they existed. As the son of Heracles, the god of strength and bravery, he was built for battle-and he had the scars to prove it. For years, he'd stood alongside Percy Jackson, facing down everything from minotaurs to Titans.

He was there when Zeus's master bolt vanished. There when the Golden Fleece needed finding. And when Artemis disappeared? Lukas didn't hesitate to join the quest to bring her back. (Yeah-he's been around since day one. Don't overthink it.)

Strength wasn't just a power-it was a burden. And when Lukas met Zach, he recognized something familiar: a kid carrying more weight than he let anyone see.

With the Titan King Kronos rising and war on the horizon, Zach has two options-fight or die. And whether he likes it or not, his fate is tied to the gods, to Percy Jackson, and to a battle that could tear the world apart.

Because when you're half-god? There's no such thing as normal.
