Back story for my short stories
I'm giving you a short explanation of my short stories so that you are not completely lost as you read them.
They are all based in a large peninsula that is magically separated from the rest of the world, it is self-sustaining and has no trade outside of the country, and a small archipelago of islands nearby The point of the barrier was to protect the people of the country and islands from outside demonic/devilish influence, I will explain that bit in a moment, but the demonic/devilish powers seeded sleeper cults inside with other refugee who pass down and recruit people to create portals to bypass the barrier. Which is one of the many dangers the heroes are against.
Sorry, There going to be more explanation than I planned so bear with me.... now that I am typing this I have to some how share this information with my future readers in more entertaining way... maybe I still with short stories for that too...
So the next key thing is that the world is primarily controlled by demonic/devilish influence, and did an experiment of forcefully merging magic with embryos to make super-powered magical humans to fight in their armies against human rebels so they can focus their demonic armies in other agendas, the first successful child was merged with thunder and lightning magic, place holder name Zeus, Zeus is eventually kidnapped by the rebels and taught human ways, and he begins to fight for and lead the rebels, and eventually learns of and retrieves what he calls his siblings, other infants turned into weapons. bring war against the rebels to stand still the super soldiers being too much for the demonic/devilish powers at the moment. so they offer the magic soldiers and their followers the peninsula and on both sides cast the barrier that protects it, and over time Zeus and his siblings are worshiped as living gods. Until they begin to go mad and start causing cataclysmic events, floods, volcanoes, undead hordes, etc., etc. a hero emerges. With assistance from the churches of the gods, they put them into a slumber, but occasionally things disturb the gods' sleep and cataclysmic events occur over the centuries. being the second main danger of the heroes.
Lastly, the peninsula was originally lived in by the Sidhe empire or fairy kingdom, but centuries before Zeus birth, they had already created splinter realm. because they foresaw the coming of hell on earth. still many denizens are retreating, to the said realm, the queens and noble Sidhe family created three heroes to protect the portals and assist the final bit of fleeing citizens. The most powerful of the the three heroes is the one to create the slumber spell for the living gods.
Okay, so that is all the back story I think it necessary, and again I am sorry for the info dump. one of the aims I am going for with some of my short stories is to do mix of fantasy, horror, and mystery, think H.P. Lovecraft with more magic and sword, little less crazy, and bit more action...

What's most important is that you have goals, or you want to participate on a team that already has a goal. completing projects is how we win in life.
