He is living in this dark humid room for 15 years already. The man is a bit malnourished with thin arms and legs. His face pale and large eyebags carries his lifeless eyes. "I am waiting for 15 years goddammit! When will they release the fricking game?!!" The man punched weakly the armrest in his couch. "I sacrificed everything for this game! My time! My money! My life! When will the game be released?!" Punching the armrest multiple times, the man laments at the reality of the world. Covering his weeping face, he begged with all of his heart and emotions alone. "Please release the game, I am going crazy. Please release the game, I might kill someone. Please release the game, I might die at this rate." Sitting in a couch, a man in his thirties watched a video replay and cried all alone. He is living in this room for 15 years already, waiting for his own salvation be brought to him. He weeped silently in his couch, in his dark humid room, and prayed with all of his heart. And with faith and belief in his heart, His prayers did get answered. *** Three days time after his episode, the man lines up towards his nearby game store. Inside his mind, he is very excited and hyped about this game that he waited for who knows how long. [Finally! Finally!! The game is released! Hahaha! Yes!! The most awaited masterpiece of a game developed by the greatest game developers is near within my reach!] With his already weak legs, maintaining balance while trembling with excitement is a task usually very difficult for him. But with the glorious masterpiece of a game in sight, he endured. He waited hours and endured hunger along with the hot steaming breaths of people around him. He endured. Finally, with the end goal in sight, he stepped inside the nearby gamestore. He weakly and slowly walked towards the reception desk. Because of the influx of people, only one person is allowed to enter the store. Reaching the desk, he gripped tightly his trembling arms. With a stuttering voice, he said, "C-can I have o-one console please?"

He comes into this new world, with a penchance for fun and chaos, and wants.

(Percy Jackson books/some canon changes/single female love interest/strong male protagonist/bonus gifts) (Atlas will have some boosts, and somewhat stronger powers than his other demigod bretheren. but they will mostly stick within the realm of his godly parents’ wheelhouse) (also I do not own the Percy Jackson story franchise, I only own the original characters I create and add to the story)

Personal Taste

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] "What if everything went exactly as we wanted it to? But then, if everything in life went as planned, what fun would that be?" _____ Pretty, chubby, and innocent 23-year-old Cordae has always dreamt of living a stress-free, long life. Creating a beautiful life for herself has been her ultimate goal, but it turns out that even a "beautiful life" is as expensive as anything else in this world, as she can't even afford a beautiful life as well as a long one. Cordae is terminally ill and is sure to die anytime soon. But regardless of that fact, she's determined to fulfill her dreams of making a beautiful life for herself, even if it's just for a little while. She's equally hell-bent on wanting to know what "loving someone romantically" feels like and is resolute in her determination to experience such. Her life suddenly takes a surprising turn as she crosses paths with Liam Xander; a 28-year-old, cold-hearted, business tycoon who grew up with the mentality that "love" is nothing but a word that comprises of four letters. But that made him the one for Cordae. Liam perfectly fits the description of whom she wants, as she doesn't actually want anyone to fall for her or anything of that sort; all thanks to the fear of leaving them all alone when she eventually dies, but wants to love someone romantically in order to at least, fulfill one of her numerous dreams. Their totally distinct worlds collide. The mysteries surrounding Liam will slowly be uncovered. Will Cordae be able to handle whatever Liam throws at her? Will Liam be able to see that "love" isn't just a 4-lettered-word? Will they be able to overcome whatever comes their way? ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ ↡ PS - Cover photo NOT mine. Photo credits to the rightful owner.
