Mythology Genre Novels & Stories

I am afraid but I must fuel my curiosity. My fingers trail over books as I use my eyes to search. “History of the Great Wars. Wolf-Clan Genealogies.” Useless!! In a corner, I find a smaller shelf with older, cracked bindings. One title stands out: Creatures of Myth and Scarcity. I pull it free, coughing at the plume of dust, and sink to the floor in a pool of blue velvet. I open it. Swan Mythology. It is exactly what I am looking for.

Just want to say that before that, I was really into Xuanhuan, Cultivation stories (Chinese web novel genres), which was roughly translated/called Eastern Fantasy by many people. However, time came when I got tired of usual tropes. If you were familiar with the genre, you would know then how long the chapters were and how repetitive it could become. Also, I became a bit peeved that they called it Eastern Fantasy, when in fact there are just so much more about eastern fantasy than cultivation and Chinese mythologies. Eastern means the whole of Eastern part of the globe. My country, Philippines is definitely part of it. There are many other nations that are part of it. In short, it is not only

“Listen to me carefully. The Great Dream is the creator of The Myth; he then divided his power and merged with nature after the process of The Myth was completed. At that time, a golden seed leaded the Myth. The golden seed is a direct descendant of the Great Dream and only appears once every five hundred years.”

During the heyday of ancient civilizations thousands of years ago, many supernatural beings, including gods, lycans, werewolves, vampires, sorcerers, and other shape-shifters had very strong interactions with each other as well as with ordinary humans. It was a beautiful and prosperous time. It was a time when all living beings lived happily and respected each other, but today it has become one of the most well-known myths among humans. But did you ever wonder that there was an another story where the most known mythological gods had almost zero participation? A story where other supernatural beings ruled the areas which were situated beyond the gods reign?

"Please don't mention them in the same sentence." Ianthe will never be like the snake that is Genevieve. I don't ever see her betraying me like my ex-girlfriend. "Oh my Goddess!" My mother looks at me in shock. "She's your mate, isn't she? I should've seen it before! The way you're so over-protective of her and the way you looked at her at my house, you've finally found your mate! Am I right? I mean I've been suspecting it, but with you one just never knows."

Mythology. In general, others referred to it as a study and interpretation of often sacred tales or fables of a culture known as myths... Some define it as the collection of such classical old tales and mythical cultural stories which deal with various aspects of the human condition... May it be good or evil. I paused reading as I heard indistinct rustling sounds in the surroundings of this large dark room. I roamed my big doe eyes across the dark surroundings yet I can not find anything strange except for the disarrayed arrangement of books on the gigantic shelves.

Ken asked, equally interested after hearing that Jeremy belongs to the literature department. Jeremy caressed the book and involuntarily smiled. "Simply put.." Jeremy began. "It's a representation of Greek mythology, Latin Folklore and further afield legends in a way—enjoyable to read." Ken shook his head as if understanding what Jeremy said but then wrinkled his brows. "Mythology?" Monroe pushed Ken's elbow which was rubbing against her chest and interrupted. "Is it in your curriculum? Or just a reference reading?" "I am reading it out of sheer curiosity." Jeremy flapped the pages of the book. "In an online blog, I saw somebody comment that Metamorphosis is just a more readable version of t

I left out all the Idris info to him, not knowing if my brother knows him or not. “A Phoenix Aurora? How did you know about them? No one ever speaks of them anymore since they have been extinct for so long.” He looks at me truly puzzled by what I have said. “You see a Phoenix is the Lord of all creation, before everything from the very beginning. Men invented books depicting of a “human god” the all mighty that made everything from nothing. This is not true. The Phoenix, is the most rare mythical creature to have ever lived. Noone has seen one in hundreds and thousands of years, they have the power to build life, the power of true creation. But alas, they have died out a victim of their own

“Yes, horror is the only modern genre that’s as fatalistic as classical tragedy. But one is considered by critics to be the pinnacle of fiction and the other is considered the nadir.” “You know you get the cutest little furrow in your brow when you get all serious.” “Blow me,” said Sam chucking a zippo at Jimmy’s head. “Only if you furrow your brow for me.” Jimmy took a hit from the bong and said, “You’ve thought quite a bit about this haven’t you?” “Yeah, I have. It means something y’know. The ancients used mythology as a way of exploring a lot of important, unspoken things about their lives. The closest thing we have to that is horror, it’s our way of exploring the unspoken matters in life

Instead, because rationality had been quietly losing ground for days, I heard myself say, “Folklore.” Judith’s brows rose just slightly. “Local?” “And… broader.” I tried to sound casual. “Wolf myths. Shape shifter stories. That sort of thing.” Judith did not laugh. That, somehow, was worse. She only nodded and came around the desk. “Back left corner. Mythology, regional legends, comparative folklore. We also have some fiction if you want the less academic versions.” Less academic versions. Like I was shopping for bedtime stories instead of trying to decide whether my life had cracked open into impossibility.
