《Make it Stop [PJO Mortal AU]》Chapter 3

Semidio High, Room 19
The blonde-haired boy leaned against the window. History... sigh. He could think of a million things he could be doing, instead of sitting here in this classroom listening to the teacher drone on and on about things in the past and how they changed the world.
One thing, for example, could be serving at the diner. At least there he knew that he'd be working for something-his salary, which had to be saved for the bank. He sighed, drawing a slip out of his pocket. It was the letter from the bank, which stated he and his mom only had a month to repay their debts, which was surprisingly less time considering how a year had flown by since--no, don't think about it. He was already working overtime, and had yet to receive his pay for the week.
The ringing bell drove him out of his thoughts. He dashed into the hallway, and ran to his car. Sticking his keys in the ignition, he waited for the car to start.
The brown-haired girl was annoyed. She waited for the limo to pick her up as her "friends" chatted about the latest gossip and fashion trends. Resting her elbows on her knees, she looked away and spotted a familiar figure. The blonde boy, who had bumped into her earlier in class. He was running toward the parking lot-to his car, she figured. He didn't notice the paper that had fallen from his pocket.
Curious, she walked over, ignoring her friends' calls. "Piper, come back! We still need to talk about your love life!" Drew called, not seeing her clench her hands into fists. The girl picked the paper up. Debt Balance, it read. Her eyebrows raised at the number, and yet she knew that with her dad's career, it could be paid off in no time, and his account balance wouldn't even have the tiniest dent.

The girl sighed, and pocketed the slip. She made a mental note to give it back to the boy tomorrow, maybe even in an envelope with some cash in it. She liked to help people, and who knew? Maybe it was just the thing to catch her ever-ignorant dad's attention.

This is the story about the second war between nephlims and humans.This is the story of how everything ends. -- (21JUN2020 story will be active for another week, I unfortunately do not have a backlog so I can't extend my chapter updates until another port call. I do not know when the next port call will be so I will be on another Hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. Scribblehub is not blocked on my work computer so I will be able to update my story on that website. It can be found here.) This story is a draft, I'll be doing my best to update monthly; work might get in the way of that so some update might be delayed an extra week or so. There will be roughly 31 chapters in total (I have the entire plot written down for the first book and the overall plot written down for the entire series.). (Summary is also a WIP and will change later to better fit the story. Any advice on how to write a summary for multiple POV's would be amazing)

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?

Author's note: Things to expect: - Adventure, magic, and myth? Sure - Action and a bit of dry humor? Why not~ - OP MC & VILLAINS. - Mind the tags. It's a litrpg and slow-paced. - Oh! MC is a bit suicidal! Things not to expect: - Romance. I've no intention of adding romance in the foreseeable future. - Good grammar (Fair warning: I'm not native and might have some issues with the language. I hope you guys will be helpful and kind to point out the wrongs.) Greetings! 'The Direwolf Sorcerer' is my first work, so be supportive and kind by pointing out my flaws. Thanks! ( This went by the name 'I died & reincarnated as wolf in fantasy world' almost a year ago in RR. Due to personal reasons, I dropped it only after 4 chapters. Now I'm writing it again, just with a new title.) *UPDATES EVERY SATURDAY I've plans for the cover art, but that's for later.
