Percy Is The Son Of Loki

The Duke's youngest son is Unbearable

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely…" Man, these words are simple yet very true. The one who said these words must have really been… "corrupted," hehe. Does power corrupt? Maybe. But why? Is it power's very nature to corrupt? If that's true, does that mean everyone who has power is… corrupted? And if they are, then how much? Partially, slightly, or fully? Who, then, is the most corrupt? Is it the police, who have the power of law over the people who break it? Or is it the military, with the power of weapons? Or is it the politicians, controlling the police, the military, and the infamous red buttons? Or perhaps it's the people who fund those politicians—those who control everything from the shadows. To know who is the most corrupt, we need to figure out who is the most powerful. If I asked a random person, "Who's the most powerful being?" they'd probably answer with one word: God. Well, it makes sense. I mean, God Himself says in His holy scriptures that He is the source of all power. The most powerful being there was, is, and will ever be. If He is the source of all power... And if power's very nature is to corrupt... Then does that mean "God," the source of all power, is also the source of all corruption?! I rubbed the back of my neck, my lips twitching into a nervous smile. Probably not, but then again… Angels, the second most powerful beings, worship God and cannot disobey Him. At least in Islam, they can't. Christianity? Well, that's a whole different ballgame. So I don't know—maybe. But what about the people who believe in God? There are plenty of radicals out there. I mean, I've seen enough news stories about people blowing themselves up in the name of God. Killing others in His name. Some even believe they're chosen by God, so they kill for Him. Are they believers in God? Corrupted by the Devil? Or enlightened beings who see something my dumb self doesn't? I squinted, tapping my fingers rhythmically against my thigh. Man, I don't know about Hell, but after all these blasphemous thoughts, I don't think God's letting me into Heaven either. Now, everyone's probably wondering, Why are you talking about these blasphemous things? Well, it's my grandma's fault. "What did she do?" Nothing! It's not what she did—it's what she said. When I was little, my grandma used to say, "If you have nothing to do, think about God." So, technically, it's her fault.

The ghost of my son

In a peaceful village, nestled in a valley surrounded by forests, lived a little girl named Claire. She had recently moved into an old house with her mother, after her parents had separated. The house, an ancient dwelling full of history, had a melancholic air, but Claire loved it for its tranquility. Deep down, she hoped that this new life would one day ease the pain of the separation. One winter evening, while playing alone in the living room, Claire noticed a pale, translucent figure standing near the window. It was a little boy, perhaps around her age, dressed in clothes from another era, gazing at her with sad eyes. He seemed lost and solemn. As Claire approached him, she felt an odd sense of calm. The figure slowly faded as she reached out to touch him. The next day, Claire searched for clues about this apparition. Through the old papers in the house, she discovered the story of a boy named Jules, who had lived there long before her. He had died in a tragic accident, taken too soon at the age of eight. His parents, overwhelmed by immense grief, had divorced after the loss of their child, unable to bear their shared sorrow. Jules's appearances became more frequent, and Claire began talking to him. She learned that, even in the afterlife, Jules could not find peace. He was troubled by the separation of his parents and could not bring himself to leave this world without trying to reconcile them. Claire understood that the little boy was seeking help, hoping that someone—an ordinary child like herself—could bring his parents back together and heal their broken hearts. Each night, Claire and Jules talked for long hours. She explained her own situation, the pain she felt from not seeing her father as often, the sadness of seeing her mother so lonely. Jules listened attentively while sharing his story and confiding his wish to reunite his parents. He told her, "If only they could love each other again, everything would be fine, Claire. I don’t want to see them separated in the afterlife." Gradually, Claire took the idea seriously. She began talking to her mother about Jules and his appearances, and soon, she had the courage to write a letter to her father, asking him to come back, even just for a moment, so that the family could be together, if only for an instant. One weekend, the miracle happened. Her father, touched by Claire’s letter, agreed to come and spend time with them. Claire felt as though Jules’s presence guided her every step. As the day went on, a strange but powerful sense of harmony filled the house. The tensions eased, and even though Claire’s parents knew they were not meant to be together, a new peace settled between them. That evening, after dinner, Claire found herself alone for a moment in the living room, watching the remnants of Jules’s shadow. He stood there, smiling faintly, his eyes filled with gratitude and happiness. He had not disappeared, but he seemed calmer, as if he had found peace. He gently faded away, before dissolving into the light of the fireplace.

Regressor Of Light Son

Synopsis: In a world torn by ceaseless wars and ruled by dark ambitions, Lysian Valthor once stood as a ruler of light and shadow, commanding a powerful kingdom and the loyalty of countless subjects. His rise to power was built on manipulation, ruthlessness, and an unyielding desire to reshape the world. But his hubris led him to a tragic fall, and in his final moments, he found himself cast back into the past, regressed into the fragile body of a child. Now, as a mere shadow of his former self, Lysian wakes in a world that seems both familiar and foreign. His mind retains the memories of his past life, the knowledge of power, manipulation, and war. But his body is weak, vulnerable—his former strength nothing more than a distant echo. The mysterious Duality of Fate system, a strange force that has now become part of him, gives him both guidance and a constant reminder of his past choices. However, Lysian has no desire for immortality or eternal life. His only goal is survival—and revenge. The continent of Varema, once a land of potential, is now a fragmented battleground. King Valthor Skaar of Vahlan, a cruel and oppressive ruler, reigns with iron fists, while to the south, the undead Emperor Galoth of Sardis uses necromancy to fuel his unyielding army. Hidden in the shadows are factions that manipulate others for their own twisted desires, all vying for control and power. Lysian must now navigate this brutal world, relying on his intelligence and manipulation to outwit his enemies. Despite the fragility of his new form, he is far from powerless. With the knowledge of his previous life, Lysian begins to rebuild himself, carefully weaving his way through the web of power struggles that define Varema. Each move he makes is calculated, each alliance fragile, and each betrayal closer than he can anticipate. But the greatest threat Lysian faces is not just the world around him. It is the fate that binds him, the forces beyond his control that seem determined to shape him into something he no longer wishes to be. His past life was a cycle of ambition and downfall, but this time, Lysian will not let fate dictate his future. "Regressor of Light Son: Bound by Fate, Reborn in Shadows" is a story of ambition, manipulation, and survival in a world where every decision could lead to destruction. Lysian’s journey is one of dark strategy and power as he seeks to rewrite the rules of the world and escape the chains of destiny that have shackled him for far too long.

I am the Son of Luck!

Qin Chen, a modern young man, finds himself waking up in a cultivation world, inhabiting the body of a man with the same name. Yet instead of excitement, he feels a deep sense of irony as he delves into the memories of his new body. His fate is a cliché straight out of the cultivation novels he used to read: born into a low-ranking family, orphaned from a young age, poor cultivation talent, and a lover eventually taken by someone else. It all felt like the basic template for a protagonist in a novel! However, unlike weak and slow-growing main characters, Qin Chen quickly realizes something. If this world truly mirrors a cultivation story, then as the protagonist, he is Heaven's favored child, protected by limitless luck. "I am the center of this world, shielded by destiny. What do I have to fear?" Qin Chen thought with a grin. Defying great clans? Toppling powerful sects? Kidnapping royal princesses? All of that is just another day for a protagonist blessed with extraordinary luck. Qin Chen believes that as long as he is Heaven's chosen one, no danger could truly kill him. He has complete faith in the plot always saving the main character at the last second. But unlike the typical cliché protagonists, Qin Chen refuses to be naive, foolish, or soft. He understands that this world is harsh and brutal. Therefore, he vows to move forward with boundless courage, take what is rightfully his, and destroy anyone who dares to stand in his way. Unfortunately, living as a protagonist is not as easy as he imagined. [Ultimate Villain System Activated] [Main Mission: Kill Qin Chen]

The Rise Of Loki

A lone figure stood amid the wreckage of where once reigned a pantheon, his broad back radiating an unfathomable aura of power as his golden irises swept over the debris that once housed some of the most powerful existences in this universe. "oh.. you survived that ?" Loki asked with a hint of surprise as his eyes fell on the bloodied blue-haired God barely clinging to life a few meters away Poseidon couldn't even muster the strength to respond as his eyes stared at Loki in pure terror. His mind couldn't help but think, 'What did my brother do to offend such an existence?!' Suddenly, Poseidon felt a cold chill run down his spine as a gust of wind flew passed him, before he could muster the strength to turn and face what could possibly make him feel more dreadful than the green-haired demon before him, the demon uttered three words that made his blood run cold "Fenrir.. eat him." ========= This story is strictly fictional. It revolves around a down-and-out Loki who rises to the pinnacle of existence. It will have some similarities to what is already known in the myths; however, due to my lack of knowledge on the matter, most of the story is entirely original, with only a few elements added as I learn more through my research along the way. As I said, it's strictly fictional. ========= NOTE: I am not a professional writer and have zero experience. This is honestly just to gain experience as well as a hobby but constructive criticism is always welcomed. I will try to upload 2-4 chapters a week with each chapter having at least 1200 words
