    Summary

    In the kingdom of esports, there is a prince - Mydei. He has everything: fame, money, millions of admirers. Everything but one thing - a spark. He is a perfect victory machine, long having forgotten what it means to truly play.

    And then there's Cinderella - Phainon. He has nothing but debt, an old laptop that roars like an airplane, and a talent seen only by a handful of loyal friends.

    Their worlds were never meant to collide. But one random tournament, one temporary nickname, and one brilliant play change everything. The Prince notices someone in the crowd of no-names who makes his heart beat faster. But Cinderella, true to the canon, flees the ball. And this time, he doesn't even leave a glass slipper behind.

    Obsessed with the search, Mydei issues a 'royal decree 2.0', turning the entire internet upside down. But finding his Cinderella is only the beginning. It's much harder to convince him that he's not just another trophy. And even harder to protect their fragile fairytale from the dragons of the real world, who wear not scales, but hoodies, and are armed not with fire, but with knives.

    Summary

    When Mydeimos opened his eyes, he was met with a hellscape more terrifying than the Trial of Strife.

    Beneath a sky of red and black, jagged peaks thrust upward like blades. There was no solid ground beneath his feet—only endless piles of corpses, not a single face among them at peace.

    Mydei's next thought was of Phainon—his dearest friend, his beloved, the sworn enemy who had pierced through his spine.

    Had he succeeded?

    If the Era Nova had been completed, then where was Phainon? And what was this place?

    It's a brainworm that only lasted one version. I gotta quickly finish this before version 3.5. Contains many plot holes and a sea of OOC.

    3.5Update: Didn't manage to finish this before 3.5, how sad. But since I'm already here, guess I'll just bite the bullet and keep writing.

    Summary

    “What does dying feel like?”
    Mydei stills. He could tell him of different sensations of death. He could tell him what it feels like when life ebbs out of your veins, and you can only watch it happen. He could tell him how the swift stab of a blade snuffs life out like a wayward candle. He could tell him that the River of Souls is a cold climb, with sweet voices whispering from beyond the shore, beckoning him to join them, relish in their touches yet again, after all the time that has passed.
    Mydei gathers Phainon in his arms, burying his head in the Deliverer’s neck. Phainon is limp enough that it might be concerning, so Mydei just holds him tighter.
    “You will find no comfort there.”
    “No,” Phainon agrees, “such things are long beyond me.”

    Summary

    A new café has opened right across from where Aventurine works—and it’s driving him insane. Of all places, they had to pick there. Worse of all, it’s completely outshining his. Determined to see what the fuss is about, Aventurine spies on the competition—only to come face-to-face with the most gorgeous omega he’s ever seen.

    Summary

    “You’ve essentially lived longer, experienced more than a typical human would ever,” Cyrene added, her voice softer but no less upset. “You’ve put yourself through so much pain and suffering; your scent is just reflective of that.”
    Phainon looked away.
    “It’s just another thing that sets me apart now,” he whispered, trying to keep his tone bland in a transparent attempt to mask his pain.

     

    How much more will Phainon, who has already burnt himself to ashes for the wish of deliverance, have to pay?

     

    "My wish is...to fulfill everyone's wishes!"

     

    "In truth...I just want..."

    Summary

    The Deliverer: Hey, Stelle, this 'sugar baby' idea sounds interesting!

    The Deliverer: I even know a couple of people who'd be very interested in this offer. And they're not even completely disgusting old men!

    The Deliverer: I just really hope that pulling their sad little pods out of their pants isn't part of the evening's mandatory program!

    At that moment, the messages vanished, replaced by a short system notice.

    The Deliverer: Oops, sorry, wrong chat!

    Mydei's right eye twitched.

    One small mistake leads to: the merchants of Okhema counting unexpected profits; Phainon's acquaintances becoming wary of buying him a drink; the townsfolk following the Deliverer's every move, hoping to see more people who decide to touch him 'unexpectedly' slip and fall beside him (and the grim Kremnosian prince, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with it). We'll also see a war council disguised as a slumber party. And, of course, someday the Deliverer will learn how to smile seductively instead of looking like he's been constipated for a week... but that's another story entirely.

    Summary

    It’s him.

    Of course it’s him, Jiyan thinks to himself. Of course of all the people we’ve lost, he’d be the only one too stubborn to die.

    Geshu Lin, against all odds, comes back.

    His Forte doesn’t.

    Summary

    His sister's stories gave Phainon a love of history, but it's the tale of the Last Queen of Kremnos that gives him courage. Courage that makes him brave enough to lie when he finds the Last Queen's signet ring and seek out the last secrets hidden in the tumultuous final years of the Kremnoan dynasty.

    And the dreams give him strength to reclaim his own life. But sometimes, things are kept secret for a reason.

    Summary

    “Yield,” Phainon hisses in his ear. Warm breath fans over Mydei's cheek. His scent fills Mydei's senses, tinged with sweat and adrenaline. With the sun behind his head, Phainon is awash in near blinding white, a halo that makes the gold flecks in his eyes stand out more.

    Mydei grins, baring his teeth. “I can do this all day.” If it's a fight this man wants, then he'll be happy to oblige, as any Kremnoan would. 

    In which Mydei buys some questionable flowers, stumbles into a territorial dispute, tries to get a boyfriend, learns some frankly confusing anatomy, and fights for his happily ever after the Kremnoan way—not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “Uhh… I don’t think there’s any way for me to put this politely,” Caelus said, actually seeming to flush right before Veritas’ eyes.

    “Then say it crudely,” Veritas demanded, too irritable to drag it out. The gnawing heat in his abdomen was grating on his last shred of tact.

    Caelus set the phone down and rose to his feet, groaning and scrubbing a hand over his face. “To end the heat cycle, uh… you gotta take a lot of loads,” he finally said, pacing before the couch and sounding profoundly embarrassed. “You feel me?”

    After a mishap with one of Madam Herta's curios, Dr. Ratio finds himself aboard the Astral Express and horribly afflicted with an incredibly strange, extremely pressing condition. The only cure to this bizarre, curio-induced heat? Tricking his body into thinking he's been impregnated.

    Luckily for Veritas, a very eager Nameless is more than happy to assist— and he's bringing plenty of back-up.

    Aka: Caelus' couch finally has its Brazzers moment.

    Summary

    It's said that when the Demigods of Worldbearing and Strife finally meet, they'll fight for ten days and ten nights, much like the Titans that came before them.

    The word "fight," as Phainon discovers, is very much a euphemism.

    Or: Phainon lies back and thinks of Amphoreus.

    Summary

    Kephale and Nikador have a long, complicated history. A history that, unfortunately, has affected the lives of their chosen demigods for thousands of years. It seems almost inevitable that conflict will erupt between the Strife and Worldbearing demigods of any era. Such conflict would always lead to disaster as the balance of power shifts and innocent lives suffer the consequences.

    To ensure no more unnecessary destruction can occur, the other demigods have taken it upon themselves to always keep Phainon and Mydeimos apart. The task seemed easy enough in theory. However, a new threat arises, and tensions run high when one of their own is forced into hiding. Oronyx has once again offered their guidance to the Chrysos Heirs, but it's the last thing they expected to hear.

    Whatever the future may hold, Worldbearing and Strife are destined to meet. Time will only tell if it shall bring another calamity.

    Summary

    "Err... let's just forget all this, and I'll go drown myself in the fountain in the square."

    He actually shot to his feet, intent on carrying out the second part of his plan. But before he could take a single step, a steel grip clamped down on his wrist. Mydei yanked him forward in one powerful, fluid motion. Phainon lost his balance and, with a short, panicked cry, tumbled right onto Mydei's lap, trapped in his strong arms.

    Mydeimos leaned close to his ear, his voice a low growl, but it was laced with entirely new, unfamiliar notes - a mixture of disbelief, wild, almost hysterical tenderness, and colossal exasperation.

    "Deliverer, I swear by all the titans, you will be the death of me."

    Prince Mydeimos is tired. Tired of battles, tired of his curse, but most of all, tired of the Deliverer who runs from his kisses time and time again.

    Phainon is panicking. He desperately wants to reciprocate, but there's just one... complication.

    Summary

    Jiyan spends the first hour going over his tasks for the day. His new position allowed him some liberty to choose his missions and that day, he was slotted for an escort mission, a routine scout near the Dim Forest, an investigation of abnormal frequencies at the Gorges of Spirits and a training drill with the new recruits.

    Initially, he thought it to be no big deal; Jiyan had taken upon plenty and far more strenuous tasks before, during the war, while his body remained battered and bleeding from the previous ones.

     

    Getting pounded into a mattress for hours the night before had consequences that were shaping up to be a close second to that.

    "Why are you here, then?"

     

    This Geshu Lin could not be one of them. Jiyan's mind could never distort it into something so...placid, indulge the rain for the General who...showed him a different side – something grounding, something tethering.

     

    Geshu Lin's senseless violence was all that Jiyan would allow himself.

     

    "Because you won't stop letting me haunt you."

    The Threnodian has fallen. The skies no longer weep with the Retroact Rain.

    Geshu Lin lingers still.

    Summary

    It wasn't meant to be anything more than some friendly help. The same way Phainon's heat collar was never meant to be torn to shreds. Mydei's teeth were never meant to pierce his skin. No matter how much Phainon deeply ached for it to bear Mydei's mark.

    It was never supposed to happen this way.
