《Project Goddess || Percy Jackson x Reader》XII
Advertisement
I looked over at Nico as all three of us walked towards the Underworld's entrance. Which was more difficult, considering I had landed all of us in Las Vegas. Nico had offered to shadow travel all of us there but I couldn't allow it because he still looked horrible from the last travel and I'm not going to be trapped again. So we traveled using various mortal ways. Meaning we used a variety of buses, taxis, walking, running (don't ask), and rental cars.
Nico didn't look too happy to be entering the Underworld and Percy looked uncomfortable. I squeezed Percy's hand and smiled. He smiled back.
"(Y/n)?" He said nervously as he fell in step with me.
"Mmhm?" I asked looking around wondering how the hell are we going to find a helm.
"D-do you still--" he started but I was barely listening.
"Oh! Of course! I might be able to find the helm if I..." I converted my out loud thinking into my head. I could use my godly powers but it could be dangerous...
I didn't even notice Percy recoiling, bummed he got rejected. Y'know that little sea spawn was really growing on me. Yes, he was annoying at times, but still he makes up for it by being nice and brave, and may I say, extremely good looking.
I forced the thoughts of Percy out of my head when Nico was staring at me sensing my feelings.
"(Y-Y/n)?" Percy asked.
"Yea?" I asked.
"Do you still, um, wanna, go out, with, um," He paused.
"Who, Percy?" I asked. "Who?"
"Me," he replied quietly.
"Percy!" I said startled. "We're in the Underworld on a quest! How about we have that date as soon as I get back?"
Percy mutely nodded.

"You know, I'm going to tell you something. Okay?" I said hesitantly.
"What, (Y/n)?" He asked.
"Well, actually... I like you." I said not looking at Percy, afraid to see his reaction, but at the map of the Underworld I had been given before the quest.
"R-r--" he coughed as if that would fix his stuttering. "Really?"
"Mmhm," I said smiling softly. "Now. We need to find our way to Hades to get some information about where he last had his helm."
I kissed Percy's cheek before running up to Nico to ask where it was located. I didn't even have to look back to know that Percy was standing there, dumbfounded with a glowing sword in his slack hand, pondering about what the hell just happened.
"We're almost there, (Y/n)." Nico said looking beyond the dark landforms inhabiting spirits.
I looked around. The spirits were just meandering around the area without a purpose. They looked so lost as if they were wondering where they were and how they got here. I looked at them sadly. One particular one was an old woman. She looked so happy as if she was still alive and thriving with the living.
I just wanted to reach out and... save her.
I stopped in my tracks across from the old woman. The two boys didn't see me stop and kept walking.
I slowly reached out my hand to touch hers. As soon as I did I knew something was wrong. Her soul became inflamed with a glowing light. All the other souls stopped to stare at us.
The old woman grabbed my wrist her eyes wide with fear. She spoke in a raspy voice laced with pain and anger. Yet it was the old grandmotherly voice, as if asking if you'd like sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies. "Save me, (Y/n)!" She sobbed. "Save me!"

I tried twisting my arm out of her grasp but the longer she had ahold of me the brighter she glowed and the more solid her image became. With a horrible realization I was aware I was bringing her back to life. But it wasn't just that. Her wrinkles we smoothing out, her spine was straightening out, and her grey hair was slowly becoming blonde. I was also making her young again. And apparently the other spirits realized that too because a chorus of save me!'s rang out.
Suddenly I was surrounded by hundreds of souls. They were all shoving each other to try and touch my hand. As another one touched me a cold burst of energy ran through my veins.
The woman wouldn't let go. She was sobbing and her eyes stared straight into mine. Her newly blonde hair was sticking to her tear stained face as it flew wildly around as if it had caught a breeze.
I was about the swing my other arm around to slice the soul with my sword but Percy had beat me to it. The old lady howled with pain as the living fraction of her-- she had managed to conjure out of me-- was painfully impaled with a sword and so were the other souls,
She let go. Her glowing soul disappeared into a cowering shadow and she became old again. The other souls recoiled, the same reversing symptoms happening to them.
I was breathing heavily and my heart was beating at an unnatural speed but still I started running towards Hades' palace never turning back, but I knew Percy and Nico were running right behind me. I knew Percy would want to know what happened. And I knew Nico would want to know how I did it. And I knew they both had so many questions about what had happened back there but in all honesty I had no idea.
I was fuming with anger and running on adrenaline as I sliced my sword through the skeleton guards and swung open the doors to the palace screaming Hades' name.

8 148Intertwined Destinies
Malak Elsan always thought he was ordinary. Along with his twin, he was raised by his loving parents and attended school with his friends. But when he turned eighteen, he crossed a man he had never met; yet a man who felt familiar. With danger approaching and memories regained, Malak will once again have to fight a thousand-year-old war alongside his beloved, in a world filled with bizarre creatures and magic. The story starts slowly and may seem plain, but I promise it'll get more interesting over time. The action, fantasy, and magic will be at the rendezvous!

8 217Errant
Amateur fighter Kestril only remembers two things about her mother's disappearance: a locket and the promise she made to keep her brother safe. That promise is all she thinks of when she jumps in front of a car to save her brother. She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's. Kess's locket marks her as one of the Errant- people with control over dimensions and time, and the same people rumored to have captured her brother across the city. When a military group mistakes Kess for their enemy, she swears allegiance at gunpoint, hoping to search for her brother from within. Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary. When the murder of an important Errant soldier throws the city further into civil war, Kess uncovers a plot that could undo everything she's fought for so far. The only problem? Her brother is at the head of it. Trapped between her promise to her mother and her morals, Kess finds little use for her theatrical brawling of the past. She can only hope to find her brother before it's too late. || Update: 4/24/2022 Have decided to rewrite this novel, but will continue to post chapters of this draft, possibly with commentary. Questions, comments, concerns, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for supporting me! |||| Story is finished, just getting into a publishing schedule on Royal Road for the first time. ||
8 79Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
