The survivors-the twenty percent who remained-were not spared as an act of mercy. They were the threads still holding the gods together, the last tenuous connections to their purpose. Without humans, the gods would begin to fade. Not immediately, but surely.
And worse still, humanity had left something behind. Their endless curiosity, their hunger for power, their refusal to submit-it had given form to something the gods couldn't control.
The voids where humanity had once thrived began to fill with Echoes-fragments of human will, unbound by flesh. The Echoes did not mourn or fear; they hungered. They fed on what remained of the gods' powers, growing more potent, more coherent, and more dangerous with every passing moment.
The gods now face an impossible truth: the very act of erasing humanity has set into motion their own undoing. To restore balance, they must find a way to stop the Echoes. But to do that, they must confront the last remnants of humanity-both the survivors and the terrible truths they left behind.
Humanity was flawed. Dangerous. Destructive. But the gods now realize that without them, the universe itself cannot survive. And the longer the gods hesitate, the more the Echoes grow, becoming not just a
reflection of humanity's defiance but something far worse.
Not a mirror. Not revenge. A replacement

Aphrodite(18+) (Old asf)
(Book 1 of the Mythology Series) Aphrodite~ Goddess of love; fertility. She stayed in the clouds, looking down upon the humans as she helped them fall in love. She stayed in the clouds, watching as the celestial beings found their mates. She did not mind these things, but the truth was that she was lonely. After creating the powerful connection of love in the mate bond, she wanted nothing more than to experience it. But she knew that gods did not receive them... Or so she thought. ~ I tried to back away from Lucifer but he held me in place, not letting me escape his hold. Although I'm a goddess and he's a Demi god, I know he's much more powerful than me. In every single way. The asshole gets it from his father. My deranged uncle. "Lucifer let me g-" He let out another growl at my attempts to talk him out of this. But there was no talking to a demon. The hunger in his eyes made my stomach feel queasy. "Don't ever let me hear you talking about another man fucking you unless it's me or your other two mates. He won't ever touch you again unless he wants to die a slow and painful death I'll be happy to give him." I gasped and tried to break free again. "You wouldn't dare touch him!" He gave me a dark chuckle before letting go of me. "Don't dare me. I like a challenge, Aphrodite. Oh, and don't forget your words. You could never moan his name to the heavens since he has never pleasured you. It takes 3 cocks to pleasure you, my beautiful mate. He only has one." A beautiful smirk came on his lips and I narrowed my eyes at him. "There'll be punishment for that later." ------- Story on my Patreon! Link in bio!Complete

For You My Love, I'll Do Anything
"Are you certain that you know a person best?" The question, spoken in a voice chillingly cold, echoed through the assembled crowd of gods and humans, sending a wave of fear rippling through them. No one dared answer. Primordial beings rarely cared for the anxieties of mortals or even lesser deities. The speaker continued, their gaze sweeping across the silent gathering. "Do you wish to know the story of our honorable fighters for humanity? I think this will teach your arrogant selves a valuable lesson." With a snap of their fingers, Chaos transported everyone back to the blood-soaked arena where Ragnarok had unfolded. The shift was instantaneous, jarring. Confusion, fear, uneasiness, and caution were etched on every face, blurring the supposed lines between gods and humans. They shared these primal emotions, a testament to the shared experience of witnessing such a brutal and extraordinary conflict. "Enjoy," Chaos declared, the word hanging in the air like a death knell. (A reaction fic, where the Gods and humans react to the Einherjar's past life. It gets worse before it gets better.)

The war that everyone had been dreading has finally come to pass. It had effectively destroyed the land. Those that had died were lucky. The ones who survived were slowly being transformed by the radiation that blanketed the world.

Two siblings were all that stood between history repeating itself and the survival of a world that was just beginning to heal. Would evil take them? Would darkness return?

Record of Ragnarok Pt. 2
A thousand years have passed since humanity's narrow victory in the first tournament of Ragnarok. Against all odds, humans proved themselves worthy, eking out survival in a brutal contest against the gods. But to the divine, time has softened neither their disdain nor their judgment. The gods still view humanity as an unruly and corrupt race-petty, greedy, and cruel. And so, the Council of the Gods convenes once more, this time with unanimous intent: to wipe out humanity once and for all. Just as Zeus raises his voice to seal humanity's fate, a lone voice cuts through the room-Göll, a young valkyrie and sister to the legendary Brunhilde, who once led humanity to victory. Echoing her sister's courage, Göll demands that humanity be granted a final chance to prove their worth, to show that there is something within them worth preserving. Reluctantly, the gods agree to her proposal, deciding to hold a second Tournament of Ragnarok, a brutal battle that will determine humanity's fate. In this new tournament, thirteen gods, each representing divine power, justice, and fury, will step forward. Humanity will send forth the Einherjar, warriors chosen from across time-heroes, inventors, warriors, and kings-each partnered with a valkyrie who will become their ultimate weapon, a Völundr forged to match their unique skills and spirit. To survive, humanity must secure victory in seven of these thirteen battles. As the dust of ancient grudges and forgotten legends rises, humanity's fate rests once more on the courage and strength of their chosen. Can they defy fate a second time? Or will they be crushed under the weight of divine wrath?
