《Stages of Falling In Love》Worship

the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity
The orientation film was quite the experience. Some parts were hilarious, like the two twins who were pulling tons of pranks on the rest of the campers. Others were plain scary, he had to keep in mind to never mess with the big buff Ares girl. The camp director, Mr. D, was so cool! Can you believe it, the man he saw a few moments ago was a god! Amazing! Chiron, from what he had seen in the film, seemed to be a friendly guy (or centaur?) Imagine being trained by the same person who taught Hercules, that wasn't something you were offered every day.
Most of the film was quite informative. There were twelve Olympian gods, and they each had a cabin here (except Hades, which Nico thought to be totally unfair, he was pretty cool) which meant that Nico would be claimed by one of them. Who would be his godly parent? Hermes perhaps? He had met Apollo and briefly saw Mr. D but none of them resonated with him. But he had no way of knowing, he didn't know if the "godliness" came from his mother or his father's side. He could've asked Bianca, but he was still bothered by her decision to join the Hunters.
"Well, has that cleared things up Nico?" Grover asked. Grover still had that love-sick smile lingering on his face, which wasn't looking too good, considering he had been hit in the face by one of the Hunters.
"Yeah! So that means I'll be claimed soon?" Nico was about to burst from excitement, he still couldn't believe he was half-god.
"Yep, but for now we'll have to put you in the Hermes cabin until your parent claims you. Which side is a god, mom or dad? Oh, and we'll have to get you a Camp-Halfblood shirt." Grover said, pointing towards the large blue house up ahead.

"I," Nico hesitated. "I don't know, I just remember Bianca telling me that we were orphans, guess our parents died when we were young?" Grover gave him a sad smile and a small pat in the back.
"Well, we'll have to wait and see."
"Yeah..." They continued walking, Nico began to take in his surroundings. He could see the cabins in the distance. "Hey, where's Percy?" Nico blurted out. Strangely, Nico was eager to see the son of Poseidon. The orientation film had made it clear that children of the Big Three were forbidden, yet for some reason Percy was there. That just made him even more interesting, and from what he had heard at the very end of the film, Percy had gone to retrieve the Golden Fleece?
A real hero....

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.
