    AJAX is a mythic revenge thriller rooted in ancient tragedy and modern trauma. It follows a broken ex-UN soldier living on the fringes of Venice - a man scarred by war, cursed by radiation, and haunted by visions in ancient Greek. But this is no ordinary man: he is Ajax of legend, endlessly reborn across millennia in pursuit of his ancient nemesis - Nessuno (Odysseus), now the powerful head of a global organ-trafficking empire. We're currently developing a short cript as a proof of concept, capturing the tone, mythology, and character world. The fiction could develop in a tv or podcast series blending the psychological depth of True Detective, the visual noir of The Third Man, and the existential tragedy of Greek epic.

    In the ancient world of Calradia, kingdoms rise and fall under the shadow of a single name-Yuti, the first and only bearer of the soul bound to the legendary blade. His conquest birthed the RAGNARÖK era: an age of fire, blood, and unstoppable power. His rage erased nations. His death shattered the world. For a thousand years, the blade remained sealed in stone, whispering the remnants of his fractured spirit. Until now. In the year 2620-an age where drones watch the skies but warriors still fight with steel-a girl named Teya accidentally awakens the ancient sword. When she pulls it free, the world fractures again. The spirit inside the blade speaks. It remembers everything. It remembers her bloodline. Hunted by cults, armies, and political factions, Teya is forced into a war she never chose. The sword offers power-but at a price. She must survive the legacy of Yuti, confront the darkness in her own blood, and decide whether she will repeat the sins of the past... or build the first true peace Calradia has ever known. A story of destiny, vengeance, myth, and rebirth. The past is not dead-it's waiting to be wielded.

    Medusa, yang selama berabad-abad dikenal sebagai monster pembawa maut, akhirnya bangkit melawan kebohongan yang menjerat namanya. Setelah dihancurkan oleh murka Athena demi menutupi aib seorang dewa lain, Medusa turun ke dunia bawah untuk mencari satu hal yang tak pernah diberikan Olympus: keadilan. Hades, penguasa kematian yang tak memihak, menyambutnya bukan dengan belas kasihan, tetapi dengan rangkaian ujian yang hanya dapat dilalui oleh jiwa yang benar-benar mengejar kebenaran. Dalam kegelapan yang membongkar identitas, luka, dan kemarahannya, Medusa harus membuktikan bahwa perjuangannya bukan sekadar balas dendam, melainkan tuntutan atas kebenaran yang dirampas dari dirinya. Saat Medusa melewati setiap tantangan dan berdiri kembali sebagai dirinya yang utuh, rahasia lama para dewa mulai retak. Athena merasa tahtanya terguncang, sementara Hades menimbang konsekuensi dari membuka kebenaran yang bisa memicu perang di Olympus. Medusa harus memilih: menuntut keadilan apa pun harganya, atau menyaksikan dunia para dewa runtuh oleh kebenaran yang telah lama mereka kubur.
