After Abandoning Apollo [Greek Mythology]

My new novel, Afterparty, is currently updating. My upcoming novel, Brought Back to Life by My Nemesis, is open for advance collection. · Cassandra dies in an accident. A fellow who claims to be the god of love tells her that if she helps punish the arrogant Apollo, she can have a second life. And how is she supposed to punish him? Why, by stealing the heart of Olympus’s most handsome man and then mercilessly trampling it, making him suffer the pain of unrequited love and bow before the power of love. Cassandra: This is a deal where I clearly come out ahead. Hooray! So she takes on the identity of Daphne, daughter of a river god. After Apollo falls for her and makes a passionate pursuit, she runs away at once, then turns into a laurel tree right in front of him, ending in a tragic bad ending. The god of love keeps his promise, and Cassandra is reborn. When she opens her eyes again, she’s a princess of Troy. This is bad! Even though she’s never read The Iliad, she knows Troy is doomed. The worried impostor princess Cassandra accompanies her mother to make offerings at a temple, but mysteriously gets lost in the corridor and wanders into the depths of the temple. There, a golden-haired god plucks the strings of a lyre, surrounded by a dazzling glow, as if he’s been waiting for her to enter. He looks up and smiles at her. “Daphne.” Cassandra: …Could you first explain why you’re wearing my arm, a laurel branch, on your head? · Apollo knew from the start that Daphne wasn’t as simple as she seemed. He suspected she had an ulterior motive. But he loved her. You came, and I was seized by madness. My heart burns with desire, your breath cools it. Sappho, Fragment LP48 * You don’t need to know Greek Mythology to enjoy this story. Happy ending. * Another incident caused by Eros, Olympus’s most helpful citizen x * 【Please note】The modern parallel-world extra is a standalone story with conflict and emotional ups and downs. It is not pure fluff. Reader feedback has been divided: some like it even more than the main story, while others found it hard to accept. As the extra is quite long, I strongly advise against buying the entire novel at once, in case it isn’t to your taste -3- * The cover uses Arthur Rackham’s 1921 illustration “as Daphne was, root-bound, that fled Apollo,” which is in the public domain and came from a commercial stock-image website.

We can’t stand the sight of each other. When a bounty job requires a team, if I’m in, he’s out; if he’s in, I’m out. But who could’ve guessed that I’d end up working with that guy after all? Because the client is paying way too much. The difficulty of the job lives up to the high fee, as does our team’s all-star lineup: Infiltrate a biotech corporation’s laboratory and steal a secret revival drug. Before the job starts, I remind myself to keep my guard up. That guy’s the type to stab his teammates in the back the moment we get our hands on the goods, then make off with the entire reward. Things go wrong during our retreat after the job is done. As for the outcome, I die. My last memory is of my nemesis’s face rushing toward me at lightning speed. Maybe it’s a hallucination caused by blood loss, but he looks stunned and furious, as if he can’t believe I had the nerve to die before him. Tch. Even in death, that guy won’t leave me alone. What bad luck. When I open my eyes again, I’m lying in a place that looks like a laboratory. There are marks from an IV on my arm, and the air reeks of blood. There’s also an empty medicine bottle lying on its side beside me. I take a closer look: Isn’t this the revival drug we were after?! I look up in shock and suddenly find myself staring into someone’s eyes. My nemesis is sitting on the lab table next to me, turning a syringe over in his hand as he stares at me without a word. * The main story is told in third person. Theme: You only get one life, so live it brilliantly, freely, and without restraint.
