2 01: Sewers
I woke up in a dark place.
But it wasn't dark as I could see in the dark, my eyes quickly adjusted and I could see everything around me. There was a pungent smell of feces and a lingering scent of something else... I don't think I've ever smelt that. I smelt like sulfur if I ever smelt sulfur before.
It was then that the cliche reincarnation scenario happened and I received the body's memories. This body is 6 years old, son of Nyx and another mortal man that abandoned me when I was just 2 years old, after a monster attack. Nyx sent her divine protection to try and help me but this world is different from the original Percy Jackson world. The stronger the God, the stronger their offspring would be, right? Then what would mean I am really strong, right? Right! But there is another thing. Nyx doesn't give a fuck about her children, she had only a few of them and I was a complete accident. Chaos sent her down as a punishment and she could only go back to them when she left an offspring behind.
Nyx did it, but she asked the Fates why her mother/father wanted her to do that, and the revelation shocked her.
I had no fate. The Fates couldn't see how I would end, so I was an anomaly, I wasn't supposed to exist but Chaos insisted I should. I can think about that later! Now I need to figure out where the fuck I am!
Everywhere I look I see darkness as I am in a sewer, but where is this sewer located, also why the fuck am I in a sewer? I mean, the shit scent would probably mask my Demigod scent that must be so strong because of my mother... Also, my mother's divine protection is that at night monsters won't notice me much. Recently I started to change as I grew up and i think I am going to get my powers today. After all, why would my reincarnated consciousness be awakened today of all days? On my 6th birthday. And soon enough:

I was surprised, to say the least, Who gave me this minor system wanted me to know my progress and let me know how strong or how many skills I had. I am nonetheless grateful to them, but now I have better things to do such as Eat! I am fucking hungry right now and there is a delicious prey near, I can smell them, and they can smell me, after all, I smell like lavender. I mean, not literally because I am in a fucking sewer and my body smells like shit, but I am talking about my Demigod scent. Monsters can smell it just as I can my improved senses give me the ability to smell Demigods... Unless I am also a monster.
Soon came the growling sounds of a dog, but I knew it wasn't a dog at all, but a Hellhound.
These little nasty things can bite, but I bet they taste amazing! Oops, why did I thought that? Must be the Night Beast Hunger thingy, you are not yourself when you are hungry. When I saw the huge wolf-like black creature and was about to attack... It bowed. Oh shit, was I about to eat one of my siblings? After all, Hellhounds are the spawn of Nyx and Cerberus... Wow, Nyx was kinky, wasn't she? The Hellhound bowed to me and suddenly I hear a voice coming from it: "Lord."
Heh?
Lord? Who? Me? I'm not a fucking lord, if I were a lord, I would be the lord of stupidity. "Your mother has sent me here to bring you a gift... For your sixth birthday." The Hellhound was a strange one, it was too tiny and too intelligent. I don't trust this creature. "Oh? How do I know if what you speak of is true?" I won't trust him. "You may ask your mother, my lord." I looked at him suspiciously, held my hands together in prayer, and asked:
'Mother. If this... Wolf that speaks of you is telling the truth, please send me a sign.' Suddenly, a voice crept into my head: "He speaks the truth, my child... My Astérie Enychta."
-Scene End-
Author Note:
I was searching for Greek names and I had a small idea, so I searched for the words
Star and Sky
Astérie = Star in Greek
and
Sky = Ouranos.
But I thought, I don't want an mc names Ouranos, so I searched for Starry Night. I came upon the name Énastri Nýchta, I fused Énastri with Nychta and came up with Enychta. It sounds Greek to me...
