What do you consider a hero? Someone who saves every life possible? Someone who always does what right? The protagonist of a story? Someone who would never take a life no matter the reason? My point is, no one can agree on the definition of a hero. What one person considers a hero may not be what you consider a hero. So I say there is no such thing as a "true" hero. A true hero would ideally fall under all these categories. But that's impossible.
The story I intend to tell you is not a hero's story. Because I simply believe they can't exist. No. The story I intend to tell you is the story of people doing what they can for what they care about. Because that's the best you can get. I simply ask you lend me your ear and stick by me while I tell you this story. All you need is an open mind and some patience as this tale of gods, mortals and everything in between unfurls.

The Terrors Saga
In the beginning, there was Chaos. And from Chaos and the Earth, Gaea, were born the first children: the Terrors. Beings of pure, primordial power, their very existence was a threat to the nascent order of the cosmos. Feared by their own parents, they were betrayed and sealed away in a timeless prison, their names erased from history, their vengeance sworn in the dark. Now, eons later, the machinations of the gods have unwittingly shattered their cages. The eleven Terrors-walking cataclysms who command earth, wind, fire, time, pain, doom and death itself-are free. They have returned to a world grown soft under the rule of upstart deities, and they intend to unmake it all. The Olympians, once mighty kings and queens of creation, are broken, their reign ended not by heroes or Titans, but by the vengeful return of their grandmother's firstborns. Forced into a desperate pact, they must now serve as advisors and heralds to these ancient forces, guiding their wrath toward the one enemy who threatens them all: Ouranos, the First Sky, who has returned to claim a silent, sterile cosmos under his sole dominion. As god and Terror alike maneuver for the coming war, an ancient prophecy echoes through the halls of fate, a grim promise of the bloodshed to come. This is not a story of heroes. This is the story of the end of ages. It is a tale of betrayed children, vengeful gods and fallen kings turned desperate pawns, and of a war that will break the sky, where the only choices are annihilation or subjugation to the oldest and most terrible powers ever born. #WattysAwards2026Complete

A real story... My story.
This story really is my life and this is the first time I am actually telling the whole story about how I came the monster I am, and how the monsters I met on the way have shaped me into it. Also how I became darkness and how no one really excepts me and how music is all I can usually think about. This tells who has done what and the whole truth comes out about what people have done to me and why it effected me and if you don't want to hear about a story about depression, and finally read a story where things don't go right where the girl doesn't get the guy and the ending isn't happy then your reading the wrong story. This is not a love story it's a real story of a fucked up life I live in everyday. This is the story about me and me only.Complete

King of the Gods: The Titanomachy
Imagine this: You're just a college student, buried in mythology textbooks and caffeine, dreaming of becoming a world-class expert on ancient gods and forgotten legends. That was my life-simple, grounded, normal. Then I died. No warning, no grand exit. Just darkness. Game over. Or so I thought. Because next thing I know, I'm standing before her-Veritas. A cosmic being with eyes like galaxies and a voice that shakes the soul. She didn't ask. She didn't explain. She just chose me... and sent me back as Hades. Yes, that Hades-the Greek god of the Underworld. You'd think my mythology degree would give me an advantage. Spoiler: it didn't. The myths? Twisted. The stories? Half-true at best. And the gods? They're nothing like the sanitized tales we tell. They're ancient, powerful, and terrifyingly real. Now I'm a mortal soul trapped in a divine body, caught in a web of politics, monsters, forgotten laws, and secrets older than time. No guidebook. No second chances. Just me, trying to survive in a world where every mistake could spark a war. Think you know the gods? Trust me-you don't. Open the book. Step into my shadow. And see what it really means to be a god.Complete

DIVINE - A Persephone And Hades Retelling
"I've told you, Hades, I can not become your mistress." she sadly told him. She had always lived in her mother's shadow, and if she followed Hades, she would once again be living in another's shadow. Even though she loved him, she did not think she could stomach it. "I do not want you to be my mistress, Persephone, I want you to be my queen," he confessed to her. She snapped her head up to meet his eyes, searching for any sign he wanted to take his words back, but there was no remorse. And just like that, she fell ever so slightly more in love with him. "Your queen?" she asked, she had to be sure. Strangely the word had slid off her tongue gracefully as if it had belonged there. "Yes, become my queen," he told her once again, taking back the step she had taken. "Rule besides me as the goddess of spring and the Underworld." The words don't seem to make sense in her mind. --- Further description in the book --- #1 - MYTH RETELLING (as of October 1st, 2021) #1 - GODDESS OF SPRING (as of Nov 23rd, 2021) #1 - HADES TOWN (as of Jan 13th, 2022) #1 - HADES AND PERSEPHONE (as of Feb 9th, 2022) #1 - GREEK MYTHOLOGY (as of March 29th, 2022) #1 - QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 4th, 2022) #1 - PERSEPHONE AND HADES (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of April 20th, 2022) #1 - KING OF THE UNDERWORLD (as of Dec 22, 2022) #2 - HECATE (as of Nov 4th, 2021) #2 - DEMETER (as of Jan 29th, 2022) #2 - KING AND QUEEN (as of Feb 21st, 2022) #2 - PERSEPHONE (as of Sep 20th, 2023) #3 - GREEK MYTH (as of May 6th, 2022) #4 - MYTH (as of April 21th, 2022) #4 - RETELLING (as of May 10th, 2022) #4 - UNDERWORLD (as of 26th, 2023) #6 - HADES (as of April 8th, 2022) #6 - DIVINE (as of May 6th, 2022) #41 - OLYMPIANS (as of Feb 9th, 2021) #55 - GREEK (as of May 8th, 2022) #61 - OLYMPUS (as of May 8th, 2022)Complete

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

Better keep your head down-down Da-da-down-down Da-da-down-down They're gonna tell you what you wanna hear Then they're gonna disappear. Gonna claim you like a souvenir Just to sell you in a year You better keep your head down-down Da-da-down-down Da-da-down-down." The gods have chosen. Fourteen of the most influential deities electing champions to carry out their bidding, and potentially save the world. Only problem; not one champion appears to have a single clue what to do. Of course, you have Cassidy, a firey Alabama girl with legs for days and status problems. Then we have Nari, a troubled young lady who has spent the last month in an Illinois-rooted psychiatric facility. Or perhaps the saving grace of the group would be Cali, a young Chicano known for his charming looks and lack of manners. Perhaps the hope for humanity lies in the hands of Myrtle, a God-fearing Christian with a loud anxiety response and deep worry stemming from every sentence spoken to her. Only time will tell which heroes rise to the occasion, and which ones plummet, bringing everyone else down with them. Oh, and did I mention the time travel?
