To keep his children from overthrowing him, Cronus, the second-generation king of the gods, swallowed every child he had with his wife, Rhea.
The children lived inside his belly, growing up in a pitch-black chaos.
Until one day, a girl and a stone fell in.
"Uh... where is this?"
Their newborn younger sister didn't seem to understand just how miserable her situation was.
"If nobody minds, could I... turn on a light?"
The darkness around them brightened, and the young gods opened their eyes.
He Liya transmigrated to the age of Greek mythology and became Heliadora, daughter of Cronus, the second-generation king of the gods. While other people who transmigrate into Greek mythology get to fall in love, all she can do is farm inside her father's pitch-black belly. Her siblings may have divine powers, but they've never seen the world outside. Without knowing the "names" of things, they can't create their "forms."
Heliadora said there should be land, so Demeter made the fields fertile.
Heliadora said there should be water, so Poseidon brought forth oceans and streams.
Heliadora said there should be minerals, so Hades made ores grow beneath the earth.
Heliadora said there should be food, so Hestia built a hearth.
Heliadora said there should be reproduction, so Hera brought male and female creatures together.
Later, Zeus rescued his six siblings, and the seven children joined forces to defeat their father, Cronus.
But when the celebration began, the world told Heliadora she could return, but would have only ten years to live.
Heliadora returned without hesitation.
After living ten more years in the modern world, He Liya quietly waited for her death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the age of myth.
Now she was human, unaffected by any divine magic or curse, and destined to grow old and die.
"Why are you tied to this mountain? Uh... should I help put you back?"
Helia picked up the liver from the ground. Zeus's vulture didn't dare approach, letting out a piercing cry.
She put the liver back into the prophet's chest.
The liver is where human emotions reside.
1. Heliadora will not regain her divine powers after returning.
2. All the siblings of the divine royal family go mad in various ways over Heliadora becoming human, but the CP is Heliadora x Prometheus (lol).
