《Perseus Jackson: A New Purpose》The laws

Zoë, Hayami and I watched the campers go by their business.
"At this rate, the campers will be completely destroyed by the monsters", Zoë said.
"Yeah", I mused, "poor things."
I tried putting up a tough and ruthless act up, bit I wanted nothing more than to help these innocent kids who had been forced into this world of pure destruction and greed.
"Have any of them even apologised to you?" Hayami asked.
I shook my head, "Nope. Their egos are as high as mount Olympus."
"I see you're enjoying yourself Perseus", a voice said. I turned to see Hestia sitting on a floating couch, smiling at us.
"Hello Lady Hestia", Zoë and I greeted. Hayami looked a little cautious. "Don't worry Hayami, she's kind and wise unlike the other Olympians." Hayami then teleported the four of us to our cabin.
"Lady Hestia", I said, "what about uncle Hades?"
She looked sad at the mention of Hades' name. "He rarely visits. He only comes to Olympians during important meetings and the two solstices despite having a throne on Olympus now."
"Why?",I asked. "After what happened to you, he's been weary of the Olympians. He is still an ally of Olympus though." I nodded sadly at this. I didn't want the Titans to fight Hades.
"Perseus, what is happening?" Hestia asked. "It's not possible for so many monsters and other ancient beings to simply appear. Who other than Gaia and Tartarus is behind this? There's no way those two would think about all this." I thought for a moment. Hestia was smart. She knew that none of this was a mere occurrence. It was a plan. I had a silent conversation with the other two about this. I'll do it, Hayami said.

"Hayami will explain", I said.
Hayami nodded and started to pace the room. "The Olympians are abusing their powers. They are being irresponsible. Beings of power are meant to maintain a balance in their realms." She continued, "The Primordials are beings who make up the very fabric of the universe. If even one of them doesn't do their job, planets, realms and galaxies will fall. Even when Gaia rose the first two times, she did her job. It is our purpose. If we do not abide by the Laws of Existance, we will cease to exist."
Hestia nodded at this. "So even you are doing your job?"
Hayami smiled at that, "yes, my very existence keeps my domain alive. It tortures and punishes both evil and good. It is the law of the universe and existence. Balance must surpass all other domains. The Olympians have no such laws. The ancient laws set up by the Fates have already been broken countless times. The Primordial council has decided act on this. Other pantheons of other gods are kept in check but the Greek and Roman have lost their purpose the most. Chaos has decided that if you don't serve your purpose, you will be erased from existence. That is what is happening now. The Titans are back, the Giants are in Greece. The end of the Greek and Roman pantheons are inevitable unless you change your ways and follow your purpose."
I was awed by this. I'd never heard of the Laws of Existance and Law of the Universe to maintain Balance.
Hestia nodded, "We Olympians are getting carried away. I shall try to convince my family to do their job. May I speak about this with them?" She asked. "Of course", Hayami replied. Hestia smiled and disappeared in a column of flames.

"Hayami, did the Primordials give you permission to tell us this?" I asked.
Zoë joined me, "even mom has never told us this."
Hayami nodded, "Yes they did, the Titans were given their warning too in the golden age, before the gods took over."
I was awed, "you were there when all that happened?"
Hayami laughed, "No silly, I was born much later." We laughed.
I was truly happy that the gods had thrown me into Tartarus. I have now found a family for myself. One that would never turn it's back on me. I silently thanked the universe for this life.

This is the beginning story of an ongoing epic written over a period of ten years. A labor of love for me. We start the story with the summary of what started it all: Project Alpha. A project conceived by the Supreme Chancellor to prevent another Hyperspace Conflict. The project; like all government run projects, spawned other 'side-initatives'. One of which results in the creation of our five main protagonist which are the main characters of the next series of stories. We start at the end of the Great Hyperspace Conflict. The prologue addressing what effect all of this has on the New Hope Era of the Star Wars saga.

A try on a virtual reality oriented story, about a guy who's absolutely mundane and anti-social but through FSK a VRMMO finds himself beingone of the worst people on the net. Maybe it's just stress relief or trying to have fun but this one is one step closer to writing a little better.You might find words that have mistaken letters in them or grammarbut I'm pretty confident in my english although it's not my main language.Lastly I would like to say report that the novel will have Mature contentof the worst sort, so please refrain from reading it unless you are an adult.
8 636Life is a game, with intrusive microtransactions.
Life is a simulation. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging we are just a part of someone's dream, lines of code existing to give purpose for some machine or anything, but why would this unknown entity add microtransactions in it? Maybe because that way it can wake up faster, by consuming parts of it's dream, until... well, who cares about an unknown entity that has nothing to do with this particular story?
