The Story

After years of being unseen, someone takes notice of you, of your special set of skills. They want you to work for them - or rather for Olympus, a mysterious global agency who seems to deal with... magic?

A chain of reactions begins, one that will free a beast of a magnitude you can't imagine, and that awakens the past horrors you tried so hard to forget. How will it influence you? And how will you influence it?

In this interactive fiction on Twine, you can choose your gender and pronouns, your physical appearance, and your job (data analyst, bounty hunter, private detective). Choose your answers wisely, and you will have a few allies, plenty of enemies, and even some lovers.

The Romantic Options

Louis/Louise ARCHER

Archer was chosen as the leader of the first tactical team for a simple reason: they never betray their team. Easygoing, charming and fun, their personality shifts completely when they are in "work mode"; they turn into an overly serious person, whose mind is solely focused on one thing: their mission.  

They do everything with their heart on their sleeve, and their romance path is just as passionate as they are. When Archer falls, it is hard and fast.

Jai/Jaya MISHRA

Child of ZEUS, they were promised the title of team leader, until Archer was chosen by the Council unanimously.  Mishra's calculated nature is both a blessing and a curse for the team, as no one knows how far they are willing to go to win. They're certainly not above using their good looks and great acting to manipulate others.

Assertive and cunning, Mishra's romance path is full of teasing and tender moments, if you manage to go through their cautious nature.

Merlin/Nimue BOTHA

Although a genius first, Botha's skills with a sniper are remarkable and gave them a place in the first tactical team.  Their soft and quiet nature makes them a patient hunter.  The youngest member of the team, what Botha lacks in combat experience, they more than make up for in knowledge. 

In the romance department, however, Botha is denser than the Olympus guidebook. Their romance path is both fun and soothing, although painfully slow at the start.

NEZHA

The only person in the world who managed to go past Olympus security, NEZHA got their place on the first tactical team after their successful hacking attempt.  NEZHA is the most mysterious of your team members, as they hide their face and real identity behind their persona of a fun-loving hacker and a literal cartoon. You can only hear their voice through calls, but they do make sure that they are unforgettable.

NEZHA's romance path is full of mystery, intense realizations, and dramatically hilarious moments.

Rowan SMITH

Rowan is a thief, and a very good one, as they have become the only one who stole from the agency without going to jail. Although they were arrested, their deep knowledge of the art smuggling world gave them an out. Cocky, blunt and brave, they walk the fine line between complete asshole and extravagant genius. Their role inside your team, however, is yours to decide.

Rowan is a character that charms and annoys you at the same time, and their romance path is the same; if you can accept them at their impetuous worst, you might see them at their daring best.

Game options

Olympus strives to be a game where you can choose the personality, the actions, as well as the appearance of the main character. Your character has a set past, but you can decide their future.

The game is 18+, as it deals with issues of violence and has some potential sex scenes. Therefore, you can choose to see trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter and avoid the explicit sex scenes.

Least Jealous ----> Most Jealous

Archer, Mishra / Smith, Botha, Nezha

Now who reacts the most when they're jealous ?

Smith, Archer, Nezha, Mishra, Botha

I did answer the question here, but I will still write a bit about the order !

Archer is very secure in your relationship, and trusts you so they'd react really only when they think the other person is literally disrespecting them in front of them.

Smith is more or less the same, but with the added fact that they're insecure and they are driven by fear of losing you to someone who might be better than them. They'd react the most to you having a good time with someone else they feel threatened by (more attractive, more powerful, more "something"). However, they know it's 100% a Smith problem that they feel you don't need to deal with. They'd quietly get mad until the feeling goes away.

Mishra is only really jealous of other people close to you. They deal easily with people flirting or unimportant people (in their eyes) surrounding you, but they are envious of your bond with other people (Jeremiah, especially if you used to love him). So they feel jealous less often than Smith, but at a higher intensity.

Botha has never been in a relationship, has never shared anything before so at first they will make a lot of mistakes and try to monopolize your attention, feel envious when they see you spending time with other people, laughing without them etc. You will have to have a sit down and talk about boundaries for sure.

me (slightly delusional): omg she's talking about meee

(i've sent like three of those type of asks over the years so clearly it must be moi. my writing style is so very recognizable after all. i am the chosen anon.)

i went back and found my past asks (just to make sure i didn't just hallucinate sending them or something lol) and i really say some variation of "please be kind to yourself" in every single one, i should probably expand my repertoire of "nice words to say to people". it's not a bad phrase but i was just like. huh. i really do be talking the same way now as i did two years ago

also! every time a post of yours shows up when i am on the tumblr dot com and do my daily scroll my brain just goes yippieeeeee because it's so great to see that you're feeling better and seemingly having fun not only getting back into working on this story but also being on tumblr/interacting with people here and it just gives me a little serotonin boost every time hehe :)

feel free to ignore this ask, i really didn't have anything useful to say or a question to be answered, i just had one whole (very random and obviously not very serious) thought i wanted to share.

Do not be delusional my dear, I am talking about you. You're my serotonin boost ! Love you !!

Archer: I won't answer cause possible spoilers ? not exactly this, but they do have PTSD.

Mishra : The first thing they would seek out is your comforting touch. Mishra might like to seem tough and cool but after a nightmare like this one, the pain is too fresh and it's impossible to hide their emotions. When their eyes find you gone, they finally lose it. They jump out of the bed and call your name in panic. You'll come back to the bedroom to answer them, asking them what's wrong and their legs would give up on them. It'll take a long time and a lot of comforting them before they open up about their nightmares.

Botha: They hate dreaming. Most of the time, it makes no sense and you wake up forgetting about it. Two of the things they hate the most. This nightmare was an another level of pain. They know you didn’t die. You’re actually right there, next to them… When they pet the bed and find it empty they bolt up. Be rational, they think. They didn’t die, they try to convince themself. They would start to frantically look around for you until they find you and envelope you into a tight hug. "Don't go far from me".

Nezha: They wake up with tears and immediately try to grasp onto you so they can ground themself. Finding nothing, they'll panic even more and stumble out of bed, breaking things around them as they search for you. All the commotion would brought you back to the bedroom. As soon as you step into it, they throw themself at you and the shock would make you fall. "Why weren't you here?" They'd sob and cry as you hold them. They'd be glued to you for a while.

What would the ros think of an mc who is adorable when they are mad? Like the angriest cinnamon role?

Also how would they react if the mc was mad at them but still needed to be touching them? Like holding hands but not wanting to look at them.

And finally how would they act if the mc threatened them with the worst punishment imagineable, no more kisses!

This is the cutest

Archer: they would be the most affected by this MC. They love their physical touch moments with you. Plus, one look at that adorable face and they would feel their heart skip a beat. When your hands sneak into theirs, and you say that this doesn’t mean that you’ve forgiven them they feel their knees wobble. They’d reach out to kiss your frown away when you make that final threat. They would feel like they have just been hit by a truck. “No more? Until when?” They would hit you with their puppy eyes to change your mind. They can't do anything else until you've forgiven them.

Mishra: They can be stoic in front of the adorable face, and stop their fingers from responding to your gentle caresses because they're mad you're mad. But the threat, the threat was too much. They would pick you up on their shoulders, and lead you to an isolated place where they can thoroughly make it up to you. And they keep up with your threat, no kisses. Until you beg for them that is.

Botha: The least bothered by the difference between adorable and angry. They can see you are angry, clearly, why would they think it's adorable ? Why are you angry ? Is it because of them ? What can they do ? With the touch but no look, would be too confused to react properly. Would let you do as you please without complaining. And when you threaten to not kiss them anymore, they're even more confused. "I'm sorry, how can I earn them back?"

Nezha: Horror. Misery. Despair. All words that are lacking compared to what they're feeling. They would be amused at first, by the adorable way your nose scrunch and your mad face. They would stifle a laugh when you bury your head between their shoulders because of course you can hug them without looking at them, it's perfectly reasonable. But if you deprive them of kisses, how will they survive? In their best Braveheart voice "You can take my life, but you'll never take my kisses"

! Children asks mean obligatory reminder that this is all in good fun, children will literally never be mentioned in the game. Head-canon what you will if you don't like my answers.

Archer: Yes ! They come from a big family, and loved having many siblings. Would want the same for you and them. If it was solely up to them, they'd want 4. Maybe a fifth one, when the others are a bit older.

Mishra: Could go either way, but would want to be experience being a parent. They really admire theirs, and would like to expend your family. One would be enough for them.

Botha: First instinct would be no. They now have a good relationship with their family, but they were alone a lot because of their parents work. Which makes them doubt they could be a good, present parent like they wish they had. Would agree if you can reassure them about these issues. If you do have children, they'd want two, so that they can be together when they're not there.

Nezha: Would freak out a lot about being a parent, because they think they can barely be responsible enough tu survive themself. They would have to be responsible for raising another human being? Are you sure it's a good idea? They do think they'd make cute kids though. If you reassure them, they agree to have one kid first to see. Then, as they grow up, they'd tell you they want another. If you agree, the same happens again a third time. Three is definitely enough though.

Archer: is really empathetic so knows exactly what your gesture means. Sighs, nuzzle their head in your neck and thanks you. It does help them a lot. Would offer a massage to help you relax as well. And if the massage leads to other things, they're perfectly ok letting your frustration out in another way.

Mishra: would act annoyed, say they're not a dog, but if you try to stop it they'd catch your hand and tell you they didn't tell you to stop. Would be petted for a little while, awkwardly stand up when they feel better and try to pretend this never happened. Would come back with your favorite food to thank you and show you support.

Botha: at first, they are unsure how to react and freeze. They can recognize your attempt but it doesn't make them feel better. After taking a deep breath, they'd take your hand in theirs, and hold it for a while. Maybe even kiss it if they're feeling bold. They are very grateful for you, and want to give you some comfort as well since you both feel shitty.

Nezha: Doesn't even question it and accepts the gesture. They have enough energy and are talkative enough for the both of you. They would immediately launch into a tirade to talk their feelings out as you pet them. Would talk about everything that made them feel shitty that day, and complain for you if you don't. When they're finally finished, they do feel a lot better. Would spend time with you after that, doing whatever you want together (I imagine MC and Nezha together in the way toddlers parallel play lol)

I'm sorry if I'm not the most imaginative about this, but I think (and hope) everyone has the same reaction to this ? Feeling loved, wanting the other to feel loved as well by saying it back with words or with touch.

If it's the first time they've said it, I could see them react differently.

under the cut for nsfw

That said, I'm real glad to hear you're in a better place personally, and also that you were able to come back to this project that was so dear to you. I hope it'll become dear to you again. Five years of progress is a lot to lose, and I have the utmost hope that what you turn it into will be just as good, if not better. It will grow and change with you.

And likewise I am proud of you for putting a set time on yourself for weekly writing to make sure you're not pushing yourself too hard. The story will take the time it takes; and as long as you have fun and don't push yourself to hard, it will all be worth it—Regardless of whether it ends up a full story, or a halfway project. Because you made it exist, in any form it ends up being.

I am also of course very excited to hear that it and you are back, and I wish you the best of luck here in 2025. And look forward to see what changes are made. Life's been rough on you the past few years, so I hope this year is kinder to you.

Many well wishes, and thank you for feeling comfortable sharing your journey for the nosy ones (myself included).

Thank you. You are very insightful, and made me think about a lot of things outside writing that I felt under pressure but for no reason besides me panicking over life and the time I have spent on earth, the time I have left and what I want to do but haven't done and I think I am spiraling again so I'll stop thinking about it for now lol...

Archer: Contrary to some other team members, they don't read a lot and prefer to watch movies instead. Their guilty pleasure is 100% regency novels movies, and after seeing a movie adaptation they probably bought many Jane Austen's novels, but never actually read them.

Mishra: Official answer: a pretentious and very long book that will make them look cool and smart at the same time, like War and Peace or Les Misérables. They have some very fancy edition in their library. Real answers, Twilight. They've read the books multiple times, it was their fandom growing up. Will deny vehemently. It's hidden in their bedside drawer.

Botha: They read a lot, and officially their answer might change depending on the book they've read lately, but really their answer is La Morte d'Arthur. It was their bed time book when they were little, and it's a confort book to them. (although, for the author, this book is impossible to finish lol)

Nezha: This is tough. They also prefer movies to books, and probably don't have a favorite one. If pressed for an answer, they'll give you a random one they had to read for school as a kid.

To all of you who send me these messages throughout the years (and some of them I suspect are from the same person ❤), I love you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish you your days are filled with joy, that all your projects succeed and a good health for you and your loved ones. And everything else you wish for.

Yes, Botha was mocked as a child for their name, so for their everyday life they prefer to go by their last name instead of their first name.

Archer: 😂 they use it for everything, even if it's not funny

Mishra: They would never send emojis, it's unprofessional and sophisticated. Can't help but to use 🤨 and 🤦

Botha: :) lol they don't use emojis because they're not on their phone a lot and use their computer mostly, even to text other people. I can see after a while Nezha remotely teaching them weirder and more complicated symbols like (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Nezha: ✨ everything feels cuter and smoother with that emoji
