Chương 3: Rebirth
Darkness.
Complete and utter darkness.
I was just sleeping in my bed. Trying to get up inspite of my aching chest,... and then nothing. Did I die?? Or am I in a Coma???
Who knows? The only thing I seem to be able to do is think.
.
.
.
I don't know how long I've been here... just thinking... back to my life... 40 years of existence and I had accomplished a decent amount.
But with nothing else to do other than think... I inevitably started "thinking"... thinking about my how and why my life was the way it is.
Like pieces of puzzle, things started falling in place... as I connected every little event and action to my demise... suddenly things became a lot "mechanised" as saw the meaninglessness of life.
About how my life was a big lie constructed by a society I was born in. Work hard, follow the law, go to a job... why? cause money. Everything has a price food, a house, healthcare... but why? they don't "own" anything. They were born just as clueless as I was... they all came alone, with nothing with them and they died alone leaving everything behind... soon to be forgotten in the sands of time.
The crushing depression of "Meaninglessness" caused something to crack in me.
"HEY!!! SOMEONE!!!!! PLEASE...H-Help. Just let me die. So I can no longer think.", was what I screamed out but I heard nothing... no voice came from me... no one came for me.
Something kept cracking all the time.... as all that I heard was nothing... all I saw was nothing... Nothing was found... nothing gained... just a zero sum. That's all our existence amounts to... yet we want to keep on living... why? it's so painful... Death... is the only salvation.
*BOOM*
I regained my sense of self as I "sas" my shattered consciousness was now coalescing and shot into the darkness.
I saw the light for the first time... a wall... with opening to pass through. After passing through the wall, I collided with a ball of black light.
"I new my condition was rather serious... but this... it's too much. *tch* This explains a lot.", The blurry figure of man came into view, who just faded just as he finished speaking.
Once the mixture of my shattered consciousness and the energy blended... I just passed out as a wave of "Life" washed over me.
The next I opened my eyes was when I saw a Giant dropping me his mouth.

P.O.V. Narrator
Rhea, The Titan Goddesses of Fertility and Motherhood, the sister-wife of Kronos, was just sitting in her throne with a hand on her large belly; looking into the distance thinking of something.
"Hades... that's what I'll name you, my boy will be the mightiest of all the Titans.", just as she finished naming him a beam of light entered her womb, making her go in severe pain.
It would turn out that she was going in child labor.
After hours of excruciating pain, Rhea gave birth to child... it didn't look like a Titan nor did the power oozing from it felt like that of a Titan... it was much stronger than that of newborn Titan.
But it did nothing to sway the love Rhea held in her heart for the child. "My Hades... ", Rhea said as she admired her child in her arms, completely ignoring the fact that she was now small... the size of a normal human.
Though changing height is not a difficult feat for a Titan... but the context of the situation is what astonished the King of the Titans who just entered Rhea's chamber sensing a new energy signature.
"CRONUS!!! I CURSE YOU!!! YOU WILL SUFFER THE SAME FATE AS ME!!!!", The long forgotten words of his father, Uranus, exploded like a bomb in Kronos' head.
He walked up to Rhea, snatched the baby from her arm and threw him down his throat.
Before Rhea could even rebel and display her shock, Kronos punched her in the face and the force of the blow, the after effects of childbirth and her still growing height caused her to just knock out and start bleeding.
"Hades huh!! Well he's no more now. I will not allow my reign to end.", Kronos just left the chamber leaving the exhausted and bloody Titan behind.

P.O.V. Inside Kronos
The little boy Hades kept falling down the esophagus of Kronos but a thin shield of black light covered the boy, protecting him from getting crushed by the exaggerated peristalsis of esophagus which is most likely Kronos' doing.
However as he was falling he was also growing up quickly as the black light was sucking up the energy Kronos has from within.
By the time he slams in the Pit of Kronos' stomach, he'd already grown up to look like a young man.
He kept laying there for about 10 years when suddenly a woman fell on Hades, "*AAAHH* GOD DAMN IT!! My balls!! MY BALLS!!", having his testicles crushed by the weight of a free falling woman seemed have woken up our MC.
—"Sorry!! I didn't know you were here!! Are you ok? Who are you?", the unknown woman asked in concern of inconvenience she's caused.
"I'm fine... just give me some space...", our MC stood up slowly, still holding his balls as the pain resided.
"Who are you and where are we???", Hades asked as he stood up and slowly he started remembering things. 'Wait!! I was supposed to be dead!! Who was that guy?!? Why are my emotions and mind so stable?!? I should have been insane.'
—"Oh! My name is Hestia. Are you by any chance Hades?", Hestia asked in curiosity at the missing brother her mother crys about at nights.
"Huh. Yeah I'm Hades but more importantly why are you naked??"
—"Why is that a problem? You are naked as well."
"Huh. HEY! LOOK AWAY!! Go shoo."
—"Whatever weirdo.", Hestia walked away to a corner while Hades ran the other way covering his junk.
'Think! Think man. Apparently I'm a God now. So I can do God stuff, just gotta think of a long piece of cloth that's more than enough.', Hades thought to himself as a long black sheet which now covered himself with.
*Sniff*sob*
"Hestia!! Are you ok over there? HESTIA!?!", listen to the sounds of the gentle woman crying Hades walked towards Hestia's direction to check up on her.
"Why are you crying? I wasn't insulting you when I said you're naked, I have no problem if you're a exhibitionist. I'm not here to judge."
—"What are you talking about? Don't you know that our father ate us and he also beats our mother!!", Hestia answered in anger as she now realised her situation.
"Oh that. Well I promise we'll be out of here at some point.", Hades replied seemingly not bothered by the things happening to them.
—"Anyways... what are you wearing? I'll try it as well.", saying that she made a long white cloth and dressed in it.
"I don't know... a toga maybe. It's all I could make as I was being restrained by this place. Looks like daddy want to de-power us and crush us here. Anyways let's go make a camp somewhere."
And so the two Gods walked away from the entrance of the stomach, in search for a base.

A/n:- yo readers. As you can see I changed the order of Birth and a bit of hint towards the Prime Hades.
I'll be using God Of War game world as the foundation alongside the actual Myths and then expand them to the DC-VERSE.
I'll be using the New 52 Earth and the Doomsday Clock continuation as that's my favourite one cause it retains the best of the Old comics while including the new stuff.
But that's far off in the distance. And for any of the people out there wondering that will he be going through a shonen style training montage... well you'll be disappointed to know that won't be happening. What will be happening is family drama Greek Mythology style.
And he will master his powers like in 2 or 3 tries. I've always thought what's the use of being a God if you've still got to train like a human.
It especially pisses me off when God like or straight up God characters are nerfed down. If you want an example read "reborn as a celestial" the MC is the son of a celestial and Gaia and even after more than a hundred years of "training" is still weaker than Thor. wtf
Adios amigos
See you at end of my Hiatus.
