Divine Headaches: Hades' Guide to Pantheon Level Drama

Hades, Lord of the Underworld, has had enough of being the boogeyman of the Greek pantheon. After eons as the brooding, underappreciated ruler of the dead, he decides it’s time for a change—one that might improve his reputation and give him a break from his unchanging duties. So Hades does what any ancient, immortal god desperate for a rebrand would do—he becomes a licensed therapist. Welcome to the Underworld Wellness Centre, where divine beings are invited to unpack their trauma instead of unleashing it on humanity. What begins as a well-meaning attempt to improve his reputation (and perhaps prove he is the only functional adult in the Greek pantheon) quickly spirals into chaos. Because gods, it turns out, are terrible at self-reflection. His clients range from serial cheaters allergic to accountability, narcissists with control issues, and immortals nursing mommy and daddy issues older than civilization itself. And just when Hades thinks he understands dysfunction, deities from other mythologies start booking appointments—each one more volatile than the last. Between marriage crises, existential meltdowns, and one terrifying goddess who can’t decide whether she wants to devour him or seduce him, Hades finds that managing the dead was significantly easier than managing the living egos of the divine. The question is no longer whether Hades can fix them. It’s whether immortal natures are as unchangeable as the fates that bind them… and whether the Lord of the Dead can survive the emotional (and physical) carnage of his own clients.
