《Perseus Jackson: A New Purpose》The Primordial Council
Advertisement
As I was teleporting to my room, I lost control over the darkness. It pulled me from my current path and spat me out in the backyard of the mansion. I usually avoid this part because it ends abruptly and falls into endless darkness that only my mom and dad have power over. It then passes into the void, which only the Primordials are allowed into and is dangerous for even them.
My mother Nyx appeared in front of me, "Percy, the council wishes to meet you."
Cool, when are they coming?" I asked like a little kid.
She shook her head. "They aren't coming here, we're going there."
I was a bit confused, are we going to their individual domains? Nyx saw my confused expression and replied, "we're going to the throne room and before you ask, it's in the void."
I nodded. "So when do we leave?" I asked.
"Right about now," she said, and we dissolved into darkness.
We were a part of the darkness for longer than I expected. Then I realised that the universe was made in the void and we were probably traveling through a few light years. I wondered how long it would take for Hemera and Aether to get to the throne room.
We soon appeared in a huge room that made the Olympian throne room look like a changing room. There were a bunch of spots for what I assumed were for thrones. Erebus was sitting on his throne, it looked like what was at home.
Then it dawned to me that the other spots are empty because the other Primordials' thrones are probably in their domains.
Nyx' throne appeared and my mom sat on it. As she did, a wave a darkness overcame the room. I grew to almost the same height as my mom.

"Sit here Perseus," she said as a pure black throne appeared next to my mom, but at a lower level. My mom also sounded more serious and in power, letting her aura flow all over the place.
Soon, the room trembled and two other thrones popped up next to my mom's, both bright, Aether and Hemera. As they appeared into their thrones, the aura rolling of them added to Nyx's. I realized that if a mortal was here, they would have disintegrated on the spot.
The other Primordials soon started to appear along with their thrones. The room was full of super powerful beings all looking at me. I realized that if they were mad at me, I would just seize to exist. My mom put her hand on my shoulder reassuringly, "Calm down Percy, they're your family."
I smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, something changed in the atmosphere. A throne appeared in with another Primordial on it, but as it happened, the ground started trembling and the thrones of the Primordials raised themselves a good 20 feet above the floor.The Primordial council was now in session and the guy who just appeared looked extremely powerful.

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
