《Dark Percy One Shots *NOT ACCEPTING NEW REQUESTS AT THE MOMENT*》Through the Lens 3/3
Advertisement
The gods all felt a sense of foreboding when it was known that the child of the prophecy have came at last.
After what had happened to Thalia, many of them had hoped that this prophesies child wouldn't show themselves until another decade or so.
They were wrong, Kronos and his war was nearing, there was nothing they could do to change that.
But this? This was an entirely different surprise all together.
A child of Poseidon, who had magic, who was a wizard and undoubtedly powerful was the child of the prophecy.
Most gods and goddesses left the young half blood alone, not wanting to offend the wrong people.
Not only was the boy protected by Poseidon, but since he was a wizard, the goddess of Magic herself would make sure no harm come to him. Lady Hecate protected all of her magical children as best as she could from the world of gods and monsters. The mist hid the mythological from all mortals, and it hid an entire world the wizards could have never imagined.
Perseus, as a bridge between the magical world and the mythical one, might as well be one of her champions. She was a powerful goddess in her own right, an important player if a war against Kronos was truly coming. Nobody wanted to loose her favor.
However, none of this meant that nobody tried.
Ares had challenged the boy during his quest to find the lightning bolt, did so because of the presence of an ancient being in his mind. And yet, with his power and his infinite knowledge of battle, the god of war lost.
He had lost to a child.
A child who had so gracefully and skillfully countered each advance, a child who was so very cunning and clever that he had managed to use his surroundings and what advantages he had to outsmart a god and even dealt a killing blow (which of course wasn't actually a killing blow considering Olympian gods don't die that easily).

And let it not be forgotten that this was the same child who killed a minotaur the first time he went to camp.
Zeus himself, although he wouldn't admit it, was impressed to say the least. The god of thunder had expected someone cocky, disrespectful, and brash (heck all the olympians expected the same). And yet what they got was this ridiculously intelligent kid who held himself with an elegance befitting a prince and who even respected them (Athena especially was shocked to discover that the son of fucking Poseidon ended up as cunning as any of her children, maybe even more).
But there was this undeniably uneasy feeling when it comes to certain things, things that has been questioned ever since the son of Poseidon was discovered.
What were his moralities? His true loyalties? and let's not forget that his adopted father was the dark lord known as Lord Voldemort.
It was clear to everyone that Perseus Riddle was not someone of clear conscience, he was not some golden boy or a hero like one would imagine.
No, he was the heir to a mass murderer, the heir to a leader of a near fanatical group who sought to control the wizarding world through all means necessary.
His hands were not clean of blood, all the gods knew of his actions during his second year in Hogwarts, when he let an innocent girl to nearly die because it served his cause.
A meeting had been called, how can there not be one when there was so much uncertainties regarding about Perseus's first loyalties and his morals for gods sake.
Hecate had made a deal with Voldemort, the help of his heir exchanged for help in his war. The goddess of magic knew what the dark lord wanted, knew that although he disliked muggles and those of non magical blood he did not actually want to enslave them like many thought. The man sought to fight against the bias against dark wizards and creatures, to create a world where magical beings don't have to bow to any other. He wanted to reform the wizarding world as a whole.

Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that some of his methods were.. unsavory.
The "savior" of Olympus was heading down a path nobody can deter him from, only he himself can control the course of his life and it seems like he'll soon be making his decision.

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.

I'm dead serious when I say you should look to get it published.""Overall, I think it's a great book and something I'd expect to see on a shelf in a bookstore somewhere.""I read another chapter and devoured the whole damn thing over an afternoon.""All-in-all the book was thoroughly enjoyable and very professionally written. Definitely better than almost everything else that I have encountered on Wattpad... it was a compelling read.""Your style of storytelling is lovely to read. I'm trying desperately to convince my husband to sign up to Wattpad so he can read it too."

Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.

It is heavy on the slice-of-life and does move slow. It is low-stakes fantasy.

Crossroad(formally labeled as the intermission stories)- is a novella collection continuing the tale where Hy'ruh-Ha.
