Teenage Life Crisis
This eBook is PG-13. Mature content added. Zeus' children always made fun of him and it totally made him mad, but his wives told him that they were just children so just go with it. But when they were already in their adulthood, they still, surprisingly, act like children. So when Zeus just got really, really pissed off, he creates an immortal who has multiple powers, and its most powerful abilities are time travel and the ability to change someone or something into a different form. So Zeus orders the immortal to turn his children to teenagers and sends them to a world that is new to them. Read the story of Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Athena, Dionysus, Hermes, Hephaestus and Hebe to see if they can fit in, have good friends, find love, and if they can handle the madness of what they consider as the 'future' and what we call now as the 'present'.Complete
