Synopsis

When Lorne was transmigrated in the age of Greek mythology, he devoured three Hecatoncheires, and his body began to morph into something else entirely as he resided in the depths of Tartarus. Because of Lorne, fate began to shift. The Titanomachy didn't proceed as intended, changing the whole Greek mythology. The three original Hecatonacherieses had transformed Lorne into a new God, giving him even more power over the titans and the gods of Olympus. Gaia was troubled by the shift of events as if Lorne wasn't willing to side with the gods, then Zeus would not be able to overthrow Cronus' rule. In the end, Gaia decided to meet with Lorne in secret and asked why he refused to help the gods of Olympus. "Why should I?" Lorne scoffed. "The Titanomachy is one of the universe's biggest disasters. Do I look that stupid to you?" Upon hearing that, Zeus brought every god from Olympus to beg Lorne to help them. ""Please, you have to help us. The titans are false gods. We are the future of the entire universe!" "My dearest child, is there anything you want? We can give you anything," offered Uranus. Lorne was angered when he heard that. "Get lost! Child? You are the one who threw all the Hecatoncherieses into hell. I had to wait there for millions of years! How dare you show your face in front of me? You're lucky that you're hiding up in the sky or I'll shred you to pieces!” -The Hecatoncheires were giant creatures in Greek mythology. Their name means "hundred-handed ones", and apart from a hundred hands of unfathomable strength, they also had fifty heads. They were children of the Titans Uranus and Gaea; they were three, Briareus or Aegaeon (the vigorous or the sea-goat), Cottus (the striker or the furious) and Gyges (the big-limbed). The natural forces that were represented by the Hecatoncheires were the earthquakes and the huge sea waves.

Chapter 1Devouring Three Hecatoncheires, Lorne’s Transformation!

At any given point in time, new legends could arise. At the beginning of the universe, when heaven and earth were yet to be formed, the First God of the universe, Caius, was born. Caius was the God of Chaos. He took no form. He was a vast, endless space of nothingness.

After countless years, he gave birth to four gods of creation. The wheels started to churn, and the world began.

After that, the gods evolved and so did the Divine Court. Now, it was time for the second generation of the Divine Court to compete with the third generation of the Divine Court for supremacy.

Tartarus' endless Abyss of Hell was the true form of its namesake Tartarus, one of the Gods of Creation. It represented the bottom of the world and was a sealed territory that imprisoned countless demons and kept gods out.

At that moment, in a certain space at the bottom of Tartarus, an extremely strange scene was playing out.

Three incomparably huge and extremely terrifying monsters were being tightly entangled by an indescribable power.

The monsters were tens of thousands of feet tall, with 50 heads of various shapes and sizes growing out of their thick and long exaggerated necks. Their bodies were enveloped with rippling muscles and 100 huge hands growing out of them. They were the monsters among monsters.

At that moment, the three hundred-armed giants that were completely identical to each other were actually fused together by an irresistible divine power. They emitted a resplendent light that illuminated the entire space.

Time passed by for an unknown number of years. From the initial mass of stubborn, resistant, writhing flesh, they gradually turned into a huge egg. The eggshell glowed with inexplicable runes, brilliant light flowing across its surface. From the inside, barely seen through the shell was the flickering of a seven-colored divine light. It looked incomparably sacred and inviolable.

Lorne still could not understand why he had transmigrated, and why of all worlds it had to be Greek mythology. Inexplicably, it was as if he had fused with and swallowed the three legendary Hecatoncheires.

Now that he had taken over their nest, he had taken the form of a giant egg that was in the process of transforming. Who knew what he would hatch as.

However, when he thought of the description and introduction of the Hecatoncheires, he could not help but shudder.

These giants were extremely hideous. They each had fifty heads and a hundred arms. The moment they were born, they were thrown into the endless abyss by the father, Uranus, and imprisoned in Tartarus, closely guarded at all times.

They had remained in this dark hell for their entire lives.

It was enough to demonstrate just how terrifying these three hundred-armed giants were. Otherwise, as the sons of the first god, King Uranus, they could be considered princes. How could royalty be treated like this?

However, Lorne felt that there was another explanation. The king of gods had the ability to predict the future. He had predicted that his church would be overthrown by his most powerful sons.

Therefore, when Lorne saw these immensely powerful beings, he instantly saw their worth. Perhaps they were the ones who had the potential to overthrow the current divine court and imprison their creators in turn.

Even so, someone beat them to it. Their son, Cronus, overthrew and replaced the divine court, opening up the era of Titans and establishing the second generation of the Divine Court.

However, Cronus was still very fearful of these three brothers. They were highly dangerous and would remain locked up in Tartarus until they were rescued by Zeus, the Third God-King.

Therefore, Lorne was worried about his appearance and also worried about his future.

He did not want to end up like these three guys.

"I don't even know which era we're living in now!"

Lorne could only watch on as the giant egg slowly evolved. He looked at the dark sky outside and grew somewhat curious.

The three Hecatoncheires were still imprisoned in Tartarus Hell, which meant that this was still the second generation of the Divine Court, the era of Cronus.

Based on what he knew in his previous life, the three Hecatoncheires were only able to escape from Tartarus with the help of the third generation God-King Zeus. The reason why Zeus helped them escape from that literal hell was because the Olympian gods led by Zeus were being pushed back in the battle against the Titans led by the second generation Divine Court, headed by Cronus.

At that point in time, Zeus'official wife, the third generation diva Hera, suggested that Zeus sought out the three Hecatoncheires. Only then did Zeus finally save them. The hundred-armed giants did not disappoint Zeus'expectations. They were able to throw 100 giant rocks, each as large as mountains in one go, forcing the Titans back. In the end, Zeus won.

The three of them ended up as the guards of Tartarus.

The greatest contributors were reduced to guard duties. Even Zeus was fearful of the divine powers of his three uncles.

Lorne thought that it was extremely unfair. Now that he had replaced these three fellows, he definitely would not allow himself to fall into this situation and help Zeus. To hell with it!

"A single giant is already so powerful. If I am to be the sum of all three, what would I end up as?"

Lorne was looking forward to his strength after transforming.

So what if he turned out three times as hideous? In this chaotic era of warfaring gods, strength was all that mattered.

"To think that one day I would end up as a deity in Greek mythology!"

Lorne's heart went through a series of fluctuating emotions as he sighed.

He did not have any plans after transforming, but he knew that he needed to get out of this place. As for the Battle of the Gods, they were none of his concern.

According to the records of his previous life, the world ruled by Cronus was known as the Golden Age. Humans lived happily with the gods without any worries, and they listened to their will sincerely. Humans did not have to worry about food, disease, and death. Their bodies were strong and powerful.

Lorne did not think this was a bad thing. Compared to the Silver Age of Zeus, humans at least lived and worked in peace.

He was now a god, but he still viewed humans as his kind.

Although humans disrespected the gods and blasphemed the gods for various reasons, they were still on relatively good terms in this age.

He saw no need to change this situation.

Just as he slowly transformed, the Olympian gods led by Zeus were standing on the peak of Mount Olympus, and the Titans led by Cronus were standing on the peak of Mount Othrys. The two sides looked at each other across the sky, having a staredown of mythical proportions.

"Zeus! You unfilial son, how dare you rebel against this king?"

Cronus looked at the mighty Zeus in annoyance. He could not help but ask.

Zeus looked at the gods behind him and could not help but be in high spirits. His heroic spirit soared to the sky. When he heard Cronus' question, he took a step forward and shouted back, "Father! You have brought this upon yourself! If not for your savagery and brutality, why else would we rebel?"

Catgirls And Dungeons

—WSA 2025 Entry— I was on my way home with my friend when suddenly, I spotted a beautiful catgirl cosplayer with white hair. But something felt off. I couldn’t recall seeing her in any anime, manga, or games I had ever come across. Confused, I asked my friend standing next to me. To my shock, my friend’s response sent chills down my spine: "Huh? What catgirl? What are you talking about?" Suddenly, a truck came barreling toward the girl. Without thinking, I rushed to save her. In the end, both of us were hit by the truck. Now, I finds myself reincarnated in another world, in the body of the very catgirl I had seen. But... who is this girl? How is she related to the dungeons that keep popping up in the new world? Read to find out. ------------------- It's really fun, with a lot of catgirls cute moments that let you explore what it's like to become a catgirl. (Like, what do they eat? Do they hate bath? Does their tongues have spike? Can they survive falling from high above?) There's a lot of sweet romance development and of course, some spicy chapters. But on the other hand, there will also be some intense action and dark moments as the story progresses. MC will be very confused emotionally and can be a bit annoying at first since she has to adapt to the catgirl genetics. Don't expect smut chappies right away because there has to be at least some relationship development. Slice of life slow start, slow burn, a lot of action later on.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill

Every hero starts with power. He started with dust. One moment, the classroom buzzed with teenage chatter. The next, silence fell. Students blinked—and opened their eyes in an ancient hall carved from gold and marble. The air shimmered with divine magic. And at its center stood a goddess—flawless, proud, unbelievably beautiful and wrapped in flowing white. It was a divine summoning performed by a divine goddess. Among them was Vritra… and his stunningly beautiful mother. While others received blessings, powerful physiques and grand titles, Vritra was given a skill so pathetic it made even the goddess wrinkle her nose. An ability—so pitifully weak that it drew laughter, scorn, and even disgust. But that wasn't the worst part. Betrayed and cornered inside the labyrinth, Vritra had two choices: die… or fall into the death trap. A death canopy with no exit and no chance of survival, the only option was to slaughter the demons endlessly for months. Finally!! He forced his dormant skill to awaken, after killing thousands and hundreds of thousands demons and devouring them, becoming a broken ability. ****** White robes. Cold arrogance A sinful revenge. White robes can stain. And in the dark, even divinity can moan. And then there was his mo— guilt in her breath, shame in her eyes, whispering apologies between gasps in her son's ear, doing what had to be done… for both their sakes, giving birth to a morally wrong relation. ________________ Absolutely no NTR, none at all!!! Extra chapters based on response I receive, that's all for now, peace out!!

Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat!

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.
