Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 246

Neo stared at Athena.

The room was dimly lit, the flickering flames of a nearby brazier casting long shadows on the marble walls.

The scent of aged parchment filled the air, mingling with the faint aroma of burning incense.

He wondered how much he should reveal to ask her about the novel and his reincarnation. After thinking for a bit, he decided to be direct.

"I'm from the future," he said.

"I know. Ares told me through telepathy." Athena answered while her expression remained unreadable.

Athena could use telepathy.

With it, she was able to know everything that occurred during the meeting in a single second.

The golden light from the brazier reflected in her piercing gray eyes, which lingered on Neo as if she had something to say.

Suddenly, Neo opened his mouth.

"This was my favorite book."

"Son of Zeus?" she asked when Neo pointed at the notes in his hands.

"Yes."

Athena tilted her head, confused.

She had been with him for quite some time and had never seen him show interest in novels.

"I read it when only 10 chapters were released. The novel was a daily serialization on a novel platform."

Neo's gaze softened, and a small smile played on his lips.

"I still remember the author's notes about how they were hoping their readers enjoyed the released chapters and that they would love more feedback," he chuckled, reminiscing about the past.

"You read it when only 10 chapters were released…?"

The meaning of his words slowly dawned upon her.

"You…"

"I'm a reincarnator," Neo continued. "The novel you've written contained the knowledge of the future. It helped quite a lot. That's why I wanted to thank you."

Athena was stunned.

She never expected she would meet a reincarnator so early.

The faint hum of magic resonated in the air, and the shadows around them seemed to ripple slightly.

As a Child of Mana, Athena had always had prophetic dreams.

A lot of those dreams were nonsense, but some showed glimpses of the future.

True reincarnators, transmigrators, possessors, regressors—she had seen them in her dreams. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

A lot of her novel plots were based on them.

Maybe Son of Zeus was the same.

"I know you didn't know you were writing about the future when you wrote this novel," Neo said. "But I still want to ask a few things."

"Go on," Athena said while trying to suppress the tremor in her voice.

She clasped her hands tightly in her lap, her composure barely intact.

She was starting to believe Neo was truly from the future.

However, whether Ares and the others would agree with her or not was a completely different matter.

"What happens in the last volume?" Neo asked, his gaze intense.

"A battle between Arthur and the [Gods of Beyond]," Athena replied.

Neo frowned.

The mention of the Gods of Beyond made his brows crease. It was another name for them.

"What were our gods doing?" Neo asked the question he had always been curious about. "Other than the problem with the Gods of Beyond, there are a ton of problems that could be solved if those gods—you guys—descended into the world for a second. Why didn't you bother helping us?"

"Uh…"

Athena looked away, her brows furrowed in thought.

"I never wrote the reason because the serialization stopped due to the apocalypse."

"So you don't know the reason," Neo said flatly.

"I have multiple reasons, but I never decided which one I would choose and add in the novel," Athena admitted.

An author always had multiple scenarios for any arc or volume.

The same was true for Athena.

Neo sighed, knowing blaming Athena wouldn't change anything.

He asked her to explain all the scenarios to him.
