After the events of the minotaur causing destruction in crete King Minos orders Daedalus to create a prison for it. And as such the great labyrinth of crete was first created on paper and then built by master architects under the watch of its creator. However a king shall never allow risks. And so King Minos decides to get rid of the only one knowing of its purpose. As such he imprisons both Daedalus and his son Icarus inside the labyrinth to ensure the safekeeping of his secret.
But can a genius be imprisioned in his own creation? And will the gods turn a blind eye? This story is not about Daedalus escape. Its about the forgotten son learning to fly. I shall not talk about Hybris, but about the blurry line between sanity and insanity that so often gets lost in the stream of time. I shall talk about Icarus.

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

Darling In The Stranxx || 016 x 002 ||
|| You probably think it was a typo in the title, but I meant to put that there for a reason || Read to find out ;) ____________________________________________________ A normal planet with a modern society, that is until 50,000 years ago, a strange meteorite crashed upon Earth and leaked its metallic liquid. The man who discovered it decided to make the metallic liquid into arrows. He then buried them underneath his homeland and in the year 2000, it was eventually discovered and monstrous beings called "Klaxosaurs" begin appearing. The arrows were a sign of hope as when exposed to the air, it chose which people to grant powers from. A visual manifestation of life energy to the user. Ordinary people cannot see it, but people who were granted with these powers can see it. It could not be harm by ordinary things, only other special people can hurt it. This was known as a Stranxx, and people who were granted these powers used it to kill the infestation of Klaxosaur. Some used it for good, some used it for bad but they didn't know that there would be a school just to train your Stranxx and fight Klaxosaurs. Thus we focus on our main protagonist, Hiro. He is Stranxxless but he has a dream, and that dream is to be known as the #1 Hero that destroys Klaxosaurs in one swoop. So he thinks that the program will help him fight the Klaxosaurs. Who knows what will happen.Complete

𝙐𝙣𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚///An Unexpected Crossover
"Pretty little god," Sukuna murmured, one hand dragging down Hermes' throat, "all dressed up and twitching like a bird that doesn't know it's already been caught." He shouldn't want him. Hermes is the God of Trickery. Quick with a blade, quicker with his tongue. Ryomen Sukuna is the King of Curses. Bloody. Ancient. Unhinged. When Olympus sends Hermes to investigate the crumbling edge of the world, he expects ruins and silence. Not a monster with four arms, two mouths, and no understanding of personal space. "You flirt like you murder," Hermes said. "Messy. Loud. Always leaving a mark." "I like leaving marks." Sukuna grinned. "Especially on gods who act like they can't beg." They should be at each other's throats. But every fight tastes like foreplay. Every threat sounds like a promise. And every time Hermes says no, he means try harder. "You want to be worshipped?" Sukuna hissed in his ear. "Then get on your knees and earn it." He was supposed to kill the monster. Not let it ruin him. Order vs Chaos. Desire vs Duty. God vs Curse. One kiss away from war. One strike away from obsession. HermesxSukuna
