All in all, dying once is a tragedy, dying a hundred times is... Performance art.
Helione, the princess of the underworld, has had only two hobbies in life (divine birth?) Since she was a child:
Follow her brother Zagreos to escape from Tartarus, and steal every beautiful gem she likes.
One day she picked up a child by the Acheron River.
Black hair, blue eyes, dirty, but very cute.
With his soul burning red and wounds all over his body, he refused Charon's ferry and even gave the boatman a middle finger.
……?
Fun.
"Very good, you are mine." She passed over her stunned brother Zag and snatched away the human boy wearing strange shorts with green scales.
It would be great to collect a human being!
Since then, Tartarus's prison escape team has grown even stronger!
They are creatures from different worlds, but so what?
Being of the same age, rebellious, fighting as soon as they meet and then running away together, puppy love, how perfect!
Jailbreak? Good!
Go and listen to Eurydice? Good!
Watch Sisyphus push the stone? Good!
Are you listening to Achilles? Good!
Do you want to harass Thanatos? No problem!
Time to walk the Cerberus? Together!
Until one day, someone really wanted to take Jason away.
Helione clutched a handful of pomegranate seeds and chased her to the border of the underworld.
One, just one, as long as you feed it to him, he can stay forever.
——Like a father keeping his mother.
For the first time, the princess of the underworld could not make a decision.
Many months later, the Red Hood returned to Gotham and noticed movement behind him during a night patrol.
He turned around and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"... Oh my god, why are you so rude?" Helione appeared in a panic, her body translucent, covering her shoulders and glaring at him, "Do you know how tiring it is to climb up from hell!"
Before she could finish her words, her whole body fell down before his eyes and turned into ashes.
Jason:? ? ?
——The hell creatures don't stay in the human world for a long time, and they will die when the time is up. The experience of death... Isn't very pleasant.
A few days later, she came again. This time she stayed alive for ten minutes. She finished talking about the settings in her chatter, and then said: "I'm going to die again, bye."
After saying that, she dropped again.
The third time, the fourth time, the countless times.
You know, dying once is heartbreaking, but dying too many times... Becomes some kind of performance art.
From appearing in embarrassment to calmly entering the safe house, from studying pizza to taking away his gun and saying that he would take back Tartarus to open the eyes of the gods, Jason watched her die again and again in front of him, and finally one day she spoke while she was lying on the sofa:
"I like you."
"Oh, I like you too." She didn't look up.
"Not the kind of love you had when you were a kid," he corrected, "it's real love."
Helione was stunned, then laughed: "Oh. Then... I love you too."
Then she spread her hands: "But what should we do? We can't fall in love, I will die again soon."
Jason looked at her silently, and finally reached out and ruffled her hair, receiving a dissatisfied "Hey!" From her.
"... I will find a way."
He said softly.
Food guide:
1. Some wonderful crossovers between the game Hades and DC. The main world view is based on the first Hades game, with a large number of private settings.
2. Helione is a true god in ancient Greece, and she and Zagreos are a perfect brother-sister partner in prison escape.
3. It probably won't be very long? Because it is an if-line spin-off of the previous book "Don't Hit Your Date", I thought the setting was so fun that I opened a new one ()
4. Easy cookies, the process has a micro-surgery ending. In the early stage, it was probably two little kids making a big fuss in the underworld (?) Plus the brother Zag who was already making a big fuss in the underworld. The three children made the already annoying Hades even worse...
5. Regarding the settings related to "Hades", there will be private settings and my own understanding. After all, I have not yet reached the perfection of making dumplings (scratching my head)
Concept: Love is not about possessing the moment.
