At fourteen, Alec is biding his time in the cold, confining walls of an orphanage, counting down the days until his fifteenth birthday, his self-imposed deadline to escape. The orphanage is no home—it’s a place of harsh rules and harsh people, a prison he longs to leave behind. But as his plan to escape takes shape, Alec finds himself haunted by visions of three mysterious men, each more strange and powerful. In one vision, Alec sees a fierce, commanding figure—an older man with a wild white beard and eyes slit with flashes of lightning. This man perches on clouds, his gaze like thunder, his presence a storm waiting to strike. In another vision, Alec is drawn to a man with the calm of the ocean in his eyes, the kind of calm that can turn deadly with a moment’s notice. His serene smile hides the force of a tempest, and he appears on tranquil beaches or luxurious yachts, exuding both peace and power. The third man is a contradiction, always laughing and swaying as though drunk, his gaze dancing with fire and eyes pitch black. Yet beneath his boisterous demeanor, a darkness clings to him, thick and suffocating, like a shadow he cannot shake. Each of these men has one request for Alec: they want him to be their vessel. They come to him one by one, pleading, promising, but Alec refuses, unsettled by their otherworldly presence and the ominous weight of their demands. Who are they, these figures who appear from the sky, the sea, and the shadowy depths? And why do they want him—a lone boy desperate for freedom—as their vessel? As his birthday approaches, Alec faces a choice that could reshape his entire future. But freedom has its costs, and so does the mystery that pulls at him from the depths of his own visions.

A young archaeologist is gazing at a huge stone block, his heart filled with curiosity and awe for ancient civilizations. His gaze seems to travel through time and space, back to the cradle of human civilization - the Mesopotamian plain. There, the ancient Sumerians created the world's earliest writing and urban civilization. Their wisdom is like brilliant stars, illuminating the beginning of human history. As time passes, the sparks of human civilization ignite in different regions. The glory of ancient Greek city-states is remarkable. Athens' democratic system, Sparta's martial spirit, and the wisdom of numerous philosophers have jointly forged the glory of ancient Greek civilization. During this period, thinkers like Plato and Aristotle have had a profound influence. Their pursuit of truth and reflection on human nature have laid the foundation for the development of philosophy in later generations. In the far east, Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and established a vast empire. The construction of the Great Wall testifies to the tenacity and wisdom of the Chinese nation. It is not only a military defense line but also a symbol of the unity and struggle of the Chinese nation. Qin Shi Huang's great unification opened a new chapter in Chinese history, and his political system and cultural policies have had a profound impact on later generations. In India, the glory of the Maurya Dynasty and the spread of Buddhism have influenced the entire Asia. Ashoka's rule brought India to an unprecedented prosperity, and the teachings of Buddhism spread to neighboring countries along with trade and cultural exchanges. The compassion, wisdom, and peace concept of Buddhism have injected new vitality into the development of human civilization. As time goes by, medieval Europe fell into darkness. The constraints of feudalism, the oppression of religion, and frequent wars made the people of Europe live in dire straits. However, the dawn of the Renaissance brought new hope. The masterpieces of artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo have become treasures of human civilization. With their outstanding artistic talent, they have demonstrated human creativity and the pursuit of beauty. The Silk Road connects the east and the west, bringing the blending of trade and culture. Chinese silk, tea, and porcelain are transported to the west through the Silk Road, while western spices, gems, and cultures also enter China. This ancient trade route not only promotes economic development but also strengthens exchanges and cooperation between different civilizations. At the same time, wars are constantly changing the world pattern. Alexander the Great's eastern expedition spread Greek culture to the east and promoted the integration of eastern and western cultures. The western expedition of the Mongol cavalry swept across Eurasia and established a vast empire. Although wars have brought destruction and pain, they have also promoted exchanges and integration between different ethnic groups.

Dr. Alexander Matthews, a myth-obsessed professor, never expected his latest research trip to Greece would lead to actually becoming Hercules.

(This Story Takes Place In AU So, Don't Expect To Go Things As It Was In the Original Mahabharat.) Hindu x Greek x Norse (Mythologies Included) ******************* My name is Aditya. I am a seventeen-year-old who used to live in Kurukshetra, Haryana, and, of course, an orphan. Life was ordinary until a tragic accident took me away from the modern world—only to be reborn in a time I had only read about in history books: the Mahabharata era. As for how I got to this conclusion? Well, the answer to that question lies with the man-god sitting far away from me with a mischievous smile on his handsome face—Lord Krishna. It seems my memories awakened at a significant moment: the Swayamvara of Draupadi. Standing amidst an assembly of kings and warriors, I watch as Karna is insulted and humiliated for his lower caste. The tension in the air was palpable, and I realized that I was witnessing one of the most pivotal events in the Mahabharata. My heart raced with both excitement and dread. But as I tried to process this, something even stranger happened—a voice echoed in my mind. [Welcome, User! You have activated the Gacha System.] What on earth? Or rather, what in the Mahabharata? Before I could even fully comprehend the situation, I felt a strange pull within me, like an invisible force connecting me to something far greater. The system interface appeared in front of my eyes, listing various abilities, weapons, and companions—all locked behind a gacha mechanism. Apparently, I had been reincarnated not just as a mere observer but with a cheat ability straight out of a video game. The Gacha System allowed me to draw random skills, weapons, or even templates from the grand pool of every mythological lore. But there was a catch: each draw required "Fate Points," and earning those points meant altering the events of this world. As I stood there, watching the unfolding drama with Karna, I realized that I was no longer just a bystander. I had the power to change history, for better or worse. But meddling with destiny in such a grand tale came with unimaginable consequences. What if I anger the gods? What if I change the fate of heroes like Arjuna, Karna, or Bhishma? The weight of it all hit me like a thunderbolt. Still, one thing was certain—I couldn't let things play out the way they did in the original story, not if I had the power to make things right. With the Gacha System at my side, I had the chance to rewrite the Mahabharata itself. But I needed to be cautious. Lord Krishna’s knowing gaze seemed to pierce through me as if he already knew about my unique circumstances. Was he testing me? Guiding me? Or simply waiting to see how my actions would shape the future? Then let's start with this event itself. ********************** Disclaimer: Remember, this is a fanfiction about Mahabharata. Not "Original" Mahabharata. I have no intention to harm anyone's religious belief, I am just writing a what-if story from my perspective. If you don't like it, So I kindly request you not read further this.

In this modern mythological tale, Dhruv, an unsuspecting mortal, finds himself in Vaikuntha, questioning whether this is truly the end of his journey. Instead of peace, he meets a mysterious man in a suit, who ultimately reveals that Dhruv cannot enter heaven due to "arrows of regret"—a metaphor for his unfulfilled purpose. Offered a chance to return to Earth for 90 days to make amends, Dhruv agrees to the terms, unaware that the mysterious man is none other than Lord Vishnu in disguise. Upon accepting the deal, Dhruv embarks on a chaotic and humorous journey through the underworld, meeting Yamaraj, the god of death, and Gorgo, a nervous demon with horns, who comically reacts to Dhruv's presence as though he's a harbinger of disaster. As Dhruv navigates the strange, labyrinthine bureaucracy of the underworld and the daunting task of creating a "happy ending" for himself, he finds himself in an unusual mix of existential crises, dark humor, and supernatural chaos. With gods in disguise, reluctant demon assistants, and divine missions laced with humor, Dhruv's journey becomes one of discovering the true meaning of life, death, and purpose. This story is a refreshing take on mythology, where the mortal and the divine collide in unexpected and often hilarious ways, challenging Dhruv to find his own redemption and bring fulfillment to his life's story...

In this world, mythical creatures known as anitos and diwatas (spirits and deities in Philippine mythology) reside within a mysterious tower that no one can fully comprehend.

The protagonist, Enzo Reyes, is a descendant of the legendary warriors of old, yet he is one of the weakest participants in the tower’s trials
