The Cryopod to Hell Classic is the original version of TCTH, written based on the original writing prompts, expanded into a full series, with 490 chapters of fun adventures. However, it is extremely flawed, with paper thin characters and plotlines that don’t resolve properly. It abruptly ends at the finale of Route C, and was never finished with a proper ending. Classic is best read after Refresh so you can appreciate where the story came from. As its own story, Classic has too many flaws for anyone to recommend reading first.
I don’t know what I’m about to do. I loathe Adams. I hate him. I want him dead. He killed someone I cared about dearly. I can’t say I loved Phoebe, but she was certainly important to me. Cassiel followed along beside me as we walked towards the castle, one more time. She kept glancing…
In a flash, I’m at Phoebe’s side. I duck down and wrap my left arm behind her and my right hand grabs the knife. "Phoebe… don’t be dead don’t be dead please don’t be dead…" I pull the knife out quickly and cast a spell. " HEAL!! " But the wound doesn’t close. My lip…
I calmly walked down the corridors of the castle, noting the horrific levels of destruction apparent everywhere. The titanic battle between Hope and I had caused incredible amounts of damage to the castle. The pillars in various areas were in ruins, the floors were littered with bits and pieces of rock, marble, and gold from…
My chest heaved and my breath silently escaped as I gasped for air. My clothes were in tatters. Thankfully, Hope was in no better of a position. We’ve been fighting for thirty straight minutes. Entire sections of the castle are destroyed. He’s as badly beaten up as I am. Having absorbed god only knows how…
I chased after Hope. He’s got everyone fooled good, though I’m sure the high ranking generals who were at that table know who he is, as does Adams. This must be at the highest levels and nothing below. However, Hope was already only 50% my normal strength when I summoned him. Now that I’m unfathomably…
King Adams warned me that there was a rogue clone on the loose. "Hope has gained sentience and turned against us, this is your fault, you guys need to help me stop him." But I didn’t expect to see this. Slayer stood next to me as he pointed at the… thing in front of me….
My aura rippled with power. I felt overwhelmed by the amount of energy blasting out of every pore in my body. It was like I was a mountain top, and the energy fleeing my body was the water of Niagara Falls smashing down into a tiny soup bowl below. With a single movement, my arms…
As I hung suspended from the ceiling, I concentrated, deep in my mind, and spoke his name. Gabriel. Again, the blackness around me melted away, as my eyes opened and I could see once again. Whiteness surrounded me as I began free-falling through the sky. Infinitely falling, falling for an eternity, it was a feeling…
Nobody had expected such a fantastic display of battle prowess as the one that occurred on that day. Hercules and the thousands of angelic and godly spectators stared with fascination at the battle that was to take place before them. Zeus stood perfectly still when the battle started. Kronos laughed. "Letting me have the first…
Hercules walked alongside his father, the great god, Zeus. As the god of thunder and lightning, he possessed explosive power, and a temper to match. He was in the top ten gods, but when it came to his actual abilities, he was feared and respected by all of them. He had known for a great…
