Description

A newly deceased man gets a tour of the Underworld and notices a lone figure repeatedly pushing an immense boulder up a steep hill, only to watch it roll back down again. "What's that about?" he asks his guide.

"Ah that: That is a long story."

 

(Greek mythology au set in the Underworld, Kaisoo & Xiuchen pairings)

Foreword

Self-prompted: I enjoyed working on this story and once again trying something new with a fest fic. This was originally published in the Exo Mythology fest (Gods & Monsters).

Thanks to my dear indigomini for help with the poster!

Chapter 1: My greek-mythology nerd self is loving this very much! I regret only discovering this now. I love the mix of angst and humor in this one. I love that this story doesn't really have a happy ending, because staying true to where they are, they are dead and they are in hell. This fic is really, really amazing!

Chapter 1: Woah this is cool! I love greek myth and EXO and this is just pure genius! Hahha the part that cracked me up the most was when King Kyungsoo killed the bard named Chanyeol because he laughed way too much at his own joke *evil satansoo*, I also love that you made the 3 headed cerberus into Mongryong, Toben and Vivi too cute!

Chapter 1: Yo this was sad as . Not really in like a 'Omg I'm crying' kinda way but in like a 'Damn, that's their lives now' way :/.
But, I love Greek mythology so reading this was pretty nice, and seeing who was who was cool too ^^. And I wonder what Jongin chose in the end.

Chapter 1: I love baekhyun here. He's laidback comical character brings life to the boring underworld. If i cant see baekhyun in this life, i wish to see him in afterlife then. XD
