《Project Goddess || Percy Jackson x Reader》VI

The first thing I thought of was: who else are we bringing on the quest? It would be me, Percy, and then who? Wasn't having 3 people on a quest sacred or something? And may I include, there isn't really a problem or anything, so what was the point of this quest?
"(Y/n)!" Will yelled barging into the cabin. "C'mon, a god is here!"
I bolted to the door. "Who?!" I demanded. "A god?!"
I was more than excited, I'd get to see my family again! I was very much homesick, I mean who wouldn't be homesick for a place like Olympus? I ran outside. A large crowd had already formed. I shoved my way to the front.
You would not believe who was there. I couldn't believe who was there.
"Hades?!" I exclaimed. Cue the odd looks. I coughed. "I mean what are you doing here Lord Had--"
"No need for formalities, (Y/n), I've lost it." He said panicked.
I mentally facepalmed. Only the almighty god Hades could loose his Helm of Darkness. "Seriously." I muttered. "How the heck do you do that?! Isn't it--"
"Should we talk in private." He looked at the large group staring at us. We started to walk away, leaving the group, which was hard because they followed us.
Someone tapped my shoulder, it was Will. "How are you so close with him?"
"Oh," I said, how could I say: oh yeah, he helped make me existant. Which, if you think like me, sounded different since I was a 'daughter of Apollo'. I internally laughed and shuddered the the thought of Hades and Apollo hooking up. "He, uh, helped me find camp."
Will looked at me for a moment before responding. "Oh, okay. He seemed like he needed you so you should probably go." I left reluctantly.

"What do you want me to do Hades?" I snarled.
He looked taken back, "can you find it for me?"
"I'm not a demigod, I'm not a pawn you can use to do stuff you're too lazy to do."
"Right now, all your friends think you are."
I sighed. "Fine. Whatever, I'll do it."
"Good, because it would've bee slightly awkward. Because the prophecy Rachel told earlier was addressed to you about my Helm."
"I'll agree to do it if you tell me where you last saw it, everything you know about it, if it was stolen or you being you lost it, what it looks like, where I'm going on my quest, and when I'm going home."
"I last saw it-- hey, did you just ask when you're going home? (Y/n), you know the answer to that question." He said sadly.
"Yea, uh, nevermind." I said feeling disappointed.
"I think its somewhere in the Underworld--"
"Nope," I interrupted. "Sorry, Hades, but that's not my favorite place."
"Please, (Y/n)?" He asked.
"If it's still in the Underworld the why can't you get it?"
"Because if Persephone finds out I lost my Helm... Bad... I have to stay in the palace and act natural."
"Fine, I'm only doing this for Persephone so she doesn't think she's married to a bigger idiot than she already thinks."
"Thank y-- Hey! That's no way to talk to a god."
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said sarcastically. "You, Lord Hades, are a really big idiot for loosing something that's on your head."
He glared at me. "I should've asked Nico or Percy. Surprisingly they have less of an attitude."
"Thank you." I grinned.
"So, you'll do it?"

"Whatever, Death Head." I said.
"I hate that nickname. How about something more like If You Don't Stop Giving Me An Attitude I'll Kill You?"
"For me how about, I'm Immortal."
"Mine should be something like, I Can Throw You Into Tartarus."
"Always a pleasure to see you too, Death Head."
"Nooo it should be Death Bringer... or something powerful. Not Death Head."
"You're starting to act like Apollo."
He glared again. "I'm done trying to talk sense into you."
"That was sense?" I asked laughing.
"I'm making Nico come with you on this quest. He will help you through the Underworld."
"I'm part Athena, I've got this, Hades."
"Too bad." He said before zapping out so I couldn't protest.
It wasn't that I didn't like Nico. Heck, I've never met him! But if he's as annyoing as his father, I'm leaving him with Percy and flying solo.
"Wow, maybe I do need some manners." I said out loud.
A tree nymph gave me look that obvious said, she's crazy, before poofing away in a cloud of leaves.
I started walking back.
"(Y/n)!" Percy said coming over to me. "What'd Hades say?"
"Well I know what our quest is about now."
"That's good, right?"
"And I know who's coming with us."
"Who?"
"Nico di Angelo." Percy made a face I can't quite explain. "What about him?" I asked.
"We just, uh, have a long history..." He said.
"Like what?" I asked.
"It's not important." He said hastily.
"You sure?"
He gave me an uncertain sideways look before responding. "Yea."
It was very clear to me that there was something that happened between them that Percy didn't want me to know. Which, I was going to find out.

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)
8 209Spiral of Chaos

8 200Criminal Lord
Terry Isenburg, the greatest assassin who killed thousands of powerful officials and even led an army of people to reform the world had finally killed his final target after many years of suffering and effort. Changing the world was in sight. Until he was betrayed... Although, even in the abyss of death, two choices were placed before Terry. Enter the Trial or Hell? Watch how the man who nearly took over the world now attempts to take over a world of sword, monster, magic, and one hella strong tarantula... I made this story because I always wanted a dark fantasy isekai with a hella fine backstory rather than an idiot being run over as well as having sustainable, epic scenes with a badass main character. All of which I believe my story has. (Although I'm bad at managing levels and experience and I have little imagery since I hate imagery) One other thing, the first volume may be kinda boring/repetitive but I can guarantee loads of badass action in volume 2 so please stick around. (I would also appreciate the views) If you like or dislike the story, please write a comment or review about this story to help me improve, but please don't hate on the story without explaining why. I also hope that you readers share the story to give me more support. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the story. [The cover is something I made poorly but it represents something in chapter 9-10]
