In a world where the whispers of the gods can be heard by those who truly listen, a young woman named Elara finds herself trapped in a cycle of unrequited love. Every morning and night, she offers heartfelt prayers to Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, yearning for her destined soulmate. But when her pleas grow too frequent and too desperate, the enchanting goddess becomes exasperated with Elara's relentless requests. In a twist of fate, Aphrodite decides to grant Elara's wish-but not in the way she expects. She summons Ares, the formidable God of War, whose tumultuous past with Aphrodite is shrouded in mystery and passion. Ares is a warrior of unmatched strength and intensity, embodying everything Elara thought she wanted, yet his presence brings with it a whirlwind of chaos and conflict. As Elara grapples with the challenge of winning Ares's heart before time runs out, she discovers that love is not merely a fairytale; it's a battleground filled with trials, tribulations, and unexpected truths. With the clock ticking and the gods watching closely, Elara must navigate her feelings for the brooding god while uncovering the depth of her own strength and desires. Will she find a way to connect with Ares, or will their divine differences prove insurmountable? In this enchanting reimagining of Greek mythology, Elara learns that love is as fierce and unpredictable as the gods themselves, and sometimes, the heart's true calling comes from the most unexpected places.

Y/n L/n had always aspired to be like one of the heroes that legends were written about. Unfortunately, no matter how much one desires something, they can't always achieve their wish. So no matter how many times Y/n tries to learn how to fight with a sword, tries to detect his enemies, or works on complicated footwork, he will never be a warrior. For he is blind. Rendered sightless from birth, and he is incapable of being a warrior at any capacity. So, it's a cruel, twisted joke when a Trickster God comes to Y/n in his dreams and tells the boy he's chosen for a divine quest. That quest, you ask? To hunt down and kill one of the most ruthless monsters that terrorizes the coastal town of Aegium. Medusa. However, there is an astounding amount of lack-of-foresight and planning - from everyone, all around (even the author). And just maybe, Y/n can be the hero he's always wanted to be. In an entirely different way, of course. _____ Preview: Not many Greek warriors entered the Gorgon's cave in such a bold, abrasive manner anymore. They especially did not wave their swords in the air wildly about their person and declare: "Why do you think I am here? I've been sent on a godly quest to defeat a tentacle monster!" "Pardon?" the Gorgon asked, surprised into speech by the (h/c) man's words. "Or maybe some kind of serpent. The gods weren't very clear on that part now that I think about it," the strange man continued, his back still turned to Medusa. ...It had been a long while since Medusa has felt this out of his depth. (Just wait until he learns that this man doesn't turn to stone). _____ Ft. Gay Medusa.
