《Project Goddess || Percy Jackson x Reader》VIII
Advertisement
I almost started feeling sorry for Percy. But then I remembered it was his fault and the little sea spawn could've just told me and everything would be resolved by now. After our fight Percy had stormed off to his cabin and I hadn't known what to do so I just stood there fumming with maddness. I started to wander off on the forest trails again.
I finally sat on a rock pondering if I had done the right thing. I suppose it wasn't my busness but still... Maybe, perhaps, it was my fault. I got up, not enjoying my pity party and started walking farther into the woods. It wasn't until I was far enough in the woods that the trees hid the sky making me think I had walked until nightfall, when I heard someone softly humming.
Without hesitation, I started towards the noise. It was only slightly off trails when I saw something that looked like a man made landmark. On it were windows which were open. I could hear the soft humming becoming louder.
I knocked on the door, then internally exploded. What was I going to say after they answered? 'I think your humming was pretty'? Nope, (Y/n), nopity nope nope, that's too creepy and stalkerish... So I did the most logical thing. I hid behind a tree to see who was humming. The humming stopped. The door opened.
"Hello?--" A guy opened the door but stopped when he saw nobody was there. The guy had curly brown hair, brown hair, and he was sort of short, but he was definitely cute in a different way I can't quite explain. He closed the door.
The humming returned and soon he started singing.
Just like fire, burning out the way
If I can light the world up for just one day

Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like magic, I'll be flying free
I'mma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire--
I had just knocked again. He opened the door more quickly. "I told you to stop ding dong ditching me, Sto--" He said angrily, but then seeing wh was there his face softened. "Hola, chica." He smiled.
"Hi, I'm (Y/n) and I'm kind of hiding from my responsibilities so can I stay here for a little bit?" I asked.
He only looked mildly surprised, "sure! I'm Leo Bad Boy Supreme. Do you want anything?"
I laughed before shaking my head and coming in. Inside it was a mess; gears and random mechanical parts littered the place, there were empty water bottles and soda cans everywhere, and there was black grease everywhere. My Hephaestus side missed these sort of places... a lot. I saw Leo tinkering with something.
"Can I help?" I asked.
He looked over at me, "who's you're godly parent again?"
"Apollo."
"I'm not sure if you'll get it..."
"Try me." I said smirking.
He smiled at me, "okay, princesa, I'm trying to repurpose these mirrors to use it as a type of communicaton device."
"So what you're trying to do is transmit a live video between the two mirrors so the two people can see each other? Like a Iris Message just without having to have water, right?"
"Yea," he muttered only half listening and focusing on the two mirrors.
"Can I try something?" I asked.
He looked slightly hesitant, "uh, sure."
He moved out of the way so I could stand in front of the two mirrors. Leo stood across from me on the otherside of the table watching me like a hawk as if he was prepared for me to mess up. Since he was standing right there I couldn't just nuke the two mirrors with some of my godly magic and make it have a connection with a bit of magic. Connecting the two mirros with demigod magic would limit the range the mirrors could withstand without the connection cutting out.

Leo was still staring at me making me quite nervous.
I picked up a spool of wire and wire clippers. I unraveled some of the wire and cut it, eyeing the length. I flipped the mirrors to the back side. Leo had already had many wires tangled in the back all of the wires were fumming with pulses of magic.
"I can't seem to figure out why it isn't working--"
I had the wire clippers in my hand and I had sliced one of the wires.
"Hey!" Leo yelped and snatched the mirror out of my hand.
"Leo! I'm doing the right thing! Let me help!" I snapped and grabbed the mirror back. I attached the piece of wire I had already cut and attached it to a different part of the mirror. I did the same to the other mirror.
Leo exhaled an annoyed breath. He had realized I was right.
"Hey, Leo what's that?" I asked and pointed behind him. He looked behind him. While he had my back to me I shocked the mirrors with some of my magic to bond the connection.
"What?" He asked.
"Oh, nevermind. Well I'm done."
"Thank you, princesa!" He kissed me on the cheek, I knew it was obviously a friendly kiss.
"No problem, Bad Boy Supreme." I said smiling. "I suppose I should go."
"Uh, yeah." He said.
I left and walked back to camp where Nico was looking for me.
"Where have you been?" He demanded.
"Walking." I replied. "Why?"
"We're about to leave for the quest." Nico said before running off to his cabin.

8 1715[ The Administrator ]
She used to be a bright child. She was just not fortunate enough to have a normal life. Ill and bed-ridden, she slowly lost affect and cut herself off from outer reality, as her only joy was to construct a complex fantasy world. And eventually, she met her demise. Nevertheless, her story did not end here. Who is to say that Death is our last path? For her, it was just the beginning. She had been given a second chance. Reborn as a Goddess in the very own world that she created, it was now only up to her to write her own story. ‘This time, let’s try to live normally.’ Warning: Slow Character Development, Frequent Hiatus About the releases: Do not expect regular releases. I can no longer stick to a specific release schedule, so the chapters will be released once the entire arc is done, which implies long hiatus periods between arcs. About the tags: Although there are game elements, there are absolutely not the focus of the story so this isn't exactly a LitRPG.
8 135Technically Sentient
Technically Sentient is the uncomfortable answer to the Fermi Paradox: bureaucratic inertia. There's also a shark cop in there too. And a human meat tank and a bunch of greys down on their luck and a viral bioengineered killing machine and a T-posing AI and a cat. But they're not important, in the grand scheme of things.
8 182Wolf's Cry
I always thought less of myself than what my real potential was. Until that day, until that moment. What changed, I still do not know, but something did and the monster, that I am now, was born. I died that moment, not physically but mentally and I was reborn or reincarnated as I might paraphrase.P.S : COMPLETE
8 181Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
