《Perseus Jackson: A New Purpose》They Apologise
Advertisement
The next morning, we were woken up by Hypnos. It was probably the most ironic thing in the universe. 'The Primordial of sleep wakes someone up.'
I quickly got ready and met up with the rest of the family in the dinning room. It was a room about the size of the Olympian throne room with a single long table where all of us sat together and ate. For the first time in a long time, all of us were there together. Zoë had returned from her mission, which was to make Hercules fade before he entered the mortal world. She was done with it, so Zoë, Hayami and I sat together on one side, while Eris, Hecate, Aether and Hemera sat opposite to us. Mom and Dad sat diagonal to us at the head of the table.
Once we had finished our meals, mom snapped her finger silencing all of us. "Today," she said, "the domains of the Olympians gods have been transferred to the Titans. Helios and Selene have been brought back from the realm of the faded as Apollo and Artemis are extremely weak and at the very edge of existence. That is all for now." All of us nodded at that. Some looked thrilled, while others didn't seem to care less.
"I think it's time you paid them a visit," Zoë whispered in my ear.
Hayami nodded, "try nocking some sense into them." I nodded at that and teleported to the Olympian throne room.
What I saw there made me burst out laughing. On the thrones were eleven old human sized beings, who looked to be on their deathbed, with their feet dangling off from the thrones. Beside their thrones were the immortal campers and minor gods who had sided with the Olympians. They all looked at me with guilt evident in their eyes. I smiled back at them. "So, still afraid to admit your fault?" I asked.

"What do you want Jackson?" Zeus spat out. "Tut, Tut, I've left that name behind, you should know that," I said.
"We're sorry for what we did to you," Hephaestus said. "I'm sorry I did not stand up for you when you were accused for no reason."
I nodded at him. At least he had the decency to admit his wrong. "I'm sorry to you all that it had to end this way. I've forgiven you all long ago for what you did. I'm happy now with a family that loves me and cares for me," I said. "If you all had behaved like gods and brought out a change in the world, you would have stayed in power. Instead, you all acted like hormonal teenagers and went about having affairs with mortals and being extremely irresponsible."
"Immortality is not a gift," I said to my ex-friends, "It's a responsibility... to serve your purpose in this universe and maintain a balance in existence. The Titan pantheon is now established and rooted into the world. It cannot be removed, unless for a big war that you guys aren't up for. You gods cannot attack it. You still have enough juice left for a year or two depending on how to spend it. Go around the world and use what power you have left for good. Bring a balance into the world and take over your domains. Involve yourselves in the mortal world. Don't shut Olympus out of fear like you did after the second Giant war. And don't be paranoid about something that could be a threat. Nurture it and care for it to make it one of your own. Don't repeat what you did to me or what your father did to you. Serve your purpose." I said to the Olympians.

They nodded their heads guiltily. "We are all sorry for what happened," Athena said. The other Olympians nodded. I could see that it took a lot of will power for her to overcome her ego.
My previous friends stood up and walked towards me. "Perseus, we're sorry for what we did to you and we hope that you stop hating us," Jason said. "I'm sorry for boasting at camp and misusing my powers."
I nodded at them,"serve your purpose," I said before disappearing from the throne room and appearing back in the Mansion of Night and meeting up with Hayami.
"That went rather well," she mused. I laughed, "you have no idea how long I've been waiting for some sense to be knocked into their skulls."
She laughed. She then took my hand and ran through the Mansion of Night, my home, taking me Nyx knows where. But I was happy now and content with my life. I had a feeling that the Fates were done with me for a while. So I laughed along with Hayami and ran about my home, going with the flow of the universe. Afterall, I had A New Purpose now.

Ancient cities, abandoned starships, temples and fortified bunkers all contain artefacts and devices far in advance of what humans have been able to produce. Technology that feels more akin to magic, so powerful it can allow a single person to dominate a star system. But these relics of another time have been left well-defended and behind bewildering and impenetrable security measures.There are those who are compatible with the alien technology, who can augment themselves to face the evermore extreme protocols in the depths of the alien ruins, and by doing so attain greater power. And there are those who just want to sell what they find to the highest bidder.The rewards are high, but you have to be prepared to go further and risk more to discover the greatest secrets of a civilisation that vanished long before the first human walked upright. Secrets that could irrevocably change humanity’s future, or end it.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.

The secret of the arrivals. One that Ulf Hammargren had searched for since he became one of them but also one that was kept from the public. As more secrets unveil he unwillingly accepts why they have to be kept hidden, but when Principal Kareyoshi starts hurting his friends Ulf is caught in a moral dilemma as Christina Agerman uses her fame to bring down anyone would harm those they love. Warning: mature content. This volume shifts from the shounen / shoujo category to seinen / josei, and most definitely not in a nice way. I'm not referring to porn, which I personally wouldn't consider R-rated. Once again, you have been warned.
