What to Expect:
- JN Light Novel Inspired: This story is my native English speaker 'take' on the JN Light Novel.
- Gradual Start: Chapters 1-9 develop the world / characters / rules of the System.
- Rapid Evolution: Chapter 10 and onward the story gets much darker as Echo evolves.
- Custom System: LitRPG with occasional stat screens + Power-Stealing for rapid growth.
- Romance Elements: There's an MC and Side Character straight romance. LGBTQ+ representation is present. All sexual content is strictly 'fade to black'. Nothing explicit.
- Point-of-View Swaps: The story is primarily told from Echo's POV, but there are well-marked breaks to pivot to his party, side-characters, and villains.

With a fallen god calling to him in his dreams, and the hint of an unnatural, dark plot forming in the distance, he soon learns that the extraordinary comes with a steep cost.

The story of the legendary traveler, the all-knowing servant of the God of Knowledge, the greatest author, cartographer, and collector of magicks; the story of Samuel Bragg, is a truly extraordinary tale.

The Great God Zeus Lives! He is not as gracious as billions upon billions thought. Once imprisoned, he has now escaped, and the fate of the Universe lies with him. His treachery will reach the most outer rims of space and the darkest secrets that no one should see are to be revealed. The creatures that were imprisoned, the monsters that were vanquished are returning and not one soul will be safe. Even death will not take away the agony that is about to be unleashed.

The device nicknamed the “Godmaker”, can give these nine species god-like powers, but only if they are able to withstand the pain and anguish that it inflicts. Each of them must relive their worst moments in their life and the stronger the pain the more powerful they become, only if they survive.

Olympus is now their home. Their old lives are gone. The only hope of the Universe is for them to be reborn. This is the New Beginning! <<less
