The Tragic Story Of Medusa

In a world choked beneath the shadow of Lunara, a dark satellite controlled by ageless, seemingly invincible immortals, a fugitive slave named Jiiku discovers a power beyond comprehension – crimson lightning that flares to life within him. This power, born from a mysterious box coveted by the immortals, makes him a target, hunted across a scarred landscape. He finds an unlikely ally in Riku, a young man with the chilling ability to conjure ice, and together, they become symbols of defiance, sought after for their skills and hunted for their secrets. Their perilous journey draws them into an alliance with Aethrya, a rebellious immortal who has turned against her own kind, seeking to shatter the tyranny of her father, Zaldra. Armed with unique weapons forged by an exiled Fire Djinn, the trio must navigate treacherous terrains—from cursed forests and shifting labyrinths to the frozen peaks of ancient mountains. They face relentless, unseen enemies, and challenges that test the boundaries of their strength and loyalty. Their quest leads them to a hidden truth: the key to defeating the immortals lies in destroying the very source of their power. But this path forces them to confront not only external threats, but also buried secrets, unexpected betrayals, and the sacrifices demanded by a world teetering on the brink of oblivion. This is more than a fight for survival; it's a desperate bid to reclaim freedom from an eternal, inescapable darkness, culminating in a final, earth-shattering confrontation where the fate of both mortals and immortals hangs in the balance. The lines between friend and foe will blur, loyalties will be tested, and the true cost of power will be revealed.

Based on the tale told before us, Medusa was a beautiful maiden who was seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Then, the Greek hero Perseus beheaded Medusa, and he used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. However, the truth was far more complex. Poseidon had attempted to seduce Medusa and failed; he then forced himself upon her. Her lover at the time, the powerful goddess Athena, saw that Medusa had fallen to the seduction of men, and in her wrath, she cursed Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Athena then kicked Medusa out, far from her temple and home. Medusa met Perseus, but he did not kill her. Instead, he was given an artifact by Medusa that would help him on his journey, and Medusa chose to disappear from the earth. She lived in seclusion, far from the human world, wrapping her snakes in a turban if she needed to venture into the human realm, and lived alone for centuries. While the other gods and goddesses walked among humans, Medusa's tale was told as a villainess, an evil woman. That is, until a young woman in her twenties named Elysia, a beautiful woman with a heavenly voice who was not afraid of Medusa, walked into the deep water near Medusa's territory. Medusa watched the young woman from afar, and knows that she's indeed blind. Medusa and Elysia slowly became friends and daily companions, and Medusa began to grow fond of her. However, Medusa's fears started to build - would Elysia run away if she knew the truth about Medusa? Would she stay, or would she disappear? Everything descended into chaos when Poseidon and Athena found Medusa. One is finally realizing that she was mistaken about Medusa centuries ago, and the other one still want to pursue her, can't forget about Medusa. Will Medusa finally find happiness, or is she doomed by her curse?

My birth was never meant to be. Some call me a mistake. Others call me a prophecy. But my blood tells a different story. In my previous life, I was no one— A man with an empty existence, forgotten by the world. No one respected me. No one greeted me with warmth. I was invisible, a shadow passing through life, unnoticed and unwanted. When I died, I thought it was the end. But in that exact moment, my death changed two fates. One was mine. The other… belonged to an ancient being from mythology—Medusa. Once, she was doomed—a cursed Gorgon, betrayed, hunted, and fated to fall. In countless timelines, in countless myths, she was slain. But in this world, something changed. Perseus did not kill Medusa. She ascended—not as a monster, not as a victim, But as a Queen. And I… I was reborn as her son. Now, I am hunted by gods who see me as a mistake that must be corrected. Despised by mortals who whisper my name as an omen of misfortune. Rejected by a world that never wanted me to exist. Because I am something that should not be. A fracture in fate. A living contradiction. A walking defiance of the gods’ will. To Olympus, I am an error. A flaw in the great design. And so, they seek to erase me. To wipe me from history, to crush me before I can claim a place in their world. But this time, I refuse to disappear.
