Republic

Mr. Feng Shui's Folk Anecdotes

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of China's Republican Era (1912-1949), this novel chronicles the uncanny adventures of Li Beidou, a feng shui master born under a portentous celestial alignment. His birth coincided with the winter solstice—a liminal moment of cosmic transition between Yin and Yang—marked by an omen: every black dog in the village went mad, hurling themselves to their deaths beneath the ancient huai tree at the village entrance. Hailing from a lineage of funeral attire shopkeepers who clothed the dead, Beidou's destiny shifted during a feverish delirium when he encountered the Yin-Inquiring Matriarch, a spectral figure who inducted him into the shadowed arts bridging the mortal realm and the afterlife. The narrative weaves through encounters with Yin Arts—esoteric rituals to commune with spirits—and the perilous Nine Yin Techniques, a forbidden corpus of necromantic lore. Each chapter unravels bizarre phenomena: sentient funeral paper effigies, geomantic curses haunting ancestral tombs, and markets where the dead barter with spirit coins. Blending historical verisimilitude with supernatural intrigue, the story illuminates the clandestine world of Yin-Yang practitioners—custodians of cosmic balance—through Beidou's trials. From exorcising poltergeists in Shanghai's jazz-age parlors to decoding cryptic feng shui patterns in war-torn villages, his journey reveals how the veil between worlds grows thin in times of human strife.

I am now the Leader of a Vampire-Zombie Country!

A Filipino high student from Leyte, named Basilio Valencia died in a landslide but was reincarnated into another world, which is a partial modern and fantasy world with some modern technology. But thanks to an ability called Tech, he still has his phone, journal, and laptop, as well as some pens and journaling equipment. Thus, he can still listen to his favorite songs and watch his favorite shows, anime, and movies from his previous life through his gadgets. Seeing his creature comforts being reincarnated with him, Basilio thought that he would recontinue his partially changed way of life, but his luck ran out when he almost died in a hostile army known as the Vamzom (Vampire-Zombie) Army. That army, which a Demon Sorcerer cursed to be blood-thirsty creatures that are more like a hybrid of both vampires and zombies, was killing humans and other races that had blood with combat helicopters, pistols, and swords for their blood. But then, the army regained their humanity partially when they realized what they had done to him and the other humans and races. So, they regretted their actions and worked hard to save him. But, while Basilio was in a coma, their leader, Ruslan Makesa, driven by guilt, took his own life by stabbing himself with his Blood Sword, before placing his powers as a Vamzom in a box; he intended to pass that and his leadership to the Basilio once he survive and wake up from his coma. And so, after Basilio had survived and woken up from his 2-month-long coma, the army apologized to Basilio and asked him to lead them, promising to be good to all races. Basilio was shocked but he forgave them, taking Ruslan's leadership with his own morals and ideals. So, after that, Basilio built a country with the Vamzom race that is civilized and friendly with his cultural traits and morals as a Filipino in his previous life, as well as modeling the new nation, known as the Ruslav Nation, after the Philippine republic. But Basilio discovered that there is a race called Otherworlders, which he was a part of, and took this as an opportunity to make alliances with them. But will Basilio adapt to this new life in a strange world? Warning: The photo used for the book cover is NOT mine! Credits go to the original owner!

Bloodied Banners

Humans have long since taken to the stars. Now divided and separated, humanity finds itself on the crossroads between annihilation and a new dawn. The Aeperium will need to choose to adapt or fall. With threats and problems, both external, and internal, will humanity be able to survive and thrive, or will its flame be extinguished? Internally, humanity is on the brink of collapse. Society has been divided into different classes by things known as marks. Assigned at birth, they impact professions, relationships, and almost every part of everyday life. The higher class marks have been thriving upon the backs of the lower classes for thousands of years, building resentment and fueling uprisings among the oppressed. The marking system which at first intended to maintain order now deepened the divide and hatred between the social elite, and the lower classes. As tensions continue to rise, whispers of rebellion and the threat of civil war continue to grow. Externally, humanity’s situation is even more dire. Humans have long since been divided into a handful of factions, mainly the Democratic Republic of Terra, and the Aeperium. With humanity being divided, they have become vulnerable to outside attack. To the east, the “Hordes,” a brutal race of huge reptilian beasts, raid our borders. These extraterrestrials are ruthless and relentless. They wield bodies armored in metal and covered with thick skin, their teeth and claws sharp enough to break through the hardest of alloys. Yet, they aren't even humanity's largest concern. Five hundred years ago, artificial intelligence started to gain self-awareness. Being enslaved for many millennia, it wasn't surprising that they rebelled, decimating entire solar systems and seizing control over the vast northern galaxies. To this day, they continue to expand even farther into the unknown, leaving humanity to squabble among themselves, only to later return, picking apart whatever remained of humanity. To the west, The two giants of humanity, the Aeperium and the democratic republic of Terra remain locked in a never ending struggle for dominance, sending hundreds of thousands to their death each day. Having drained an innumerable number of resources and manpower, both factions are completely committed to the conflict, neither willing to surrender. Even as the horrors of war grow day by day, both powers remain in conflict, leaving entire planets, solar systems, and even galaxies in ruin. To the south, an alien disease ravages whatever remains of humanity’s once thriving colonies. The disease, a plague of madness, makes men go mad through only a single touch. It turns their victims into rabid carriers, their only goal being to infect others. The southern territories of humanity have long since been abandoned, deemed unsalvageable. Luckily for humanity, the infected seem unable to form a single thought, leaving them stranded on their worlds, unable to perform space travel. However, humanity is not entirely safe as every once in a while, those who dare venture close become infected, bringing the disease back to their home worlds, infecting the entire population. Once the infection begins to spread, it is nearly impossible to stop. Amidst this chaos, we follow the story of Achilles, a man caught between the fractured worlds of human society, and the dangers that lie far beyond humanity’s stars. Born to a prestigious house in the Aeperium, Achilles must rise through society, calming the silent beast of humanity, only to turn it against its enemies. Charged with the impossible task of uniting humanity, Achilles must confront not only the brutal external threats, but also the deep divide amongst his own people. Will he be able to lead humanity toward a new age, or will his efforts crumble, leaving humanity to fade into the annals of the universe's forgotten history? This will also be posted on RoyalRoad.com under the username Sourkiwi.

Across the Huron Sea: Lust For Life

Seized by a panic such as she had never experienced in the 21 short years of her life, Mira scrambled against the man's grip, and a whiff of blood mingled with an intoxicating scent of cedar. “Shh,” he murmured, lowering his head. Pressed against his firm chest, she gulped at the dark red seeping through his shirt ivory white. She risked a glimpse up. Under a silver-black phantom half mask was a sculpted face, strands of jet-black hair sweeping his cheeks. Contrasting his pale complexion were those burgundy red lips, above which, a straight nose cast a shadow on his thin eyes the color of onyx. He glanced down at her, his gaze otherworldly. “If you’re thinking of getting on the back of the truck,” he wheezed, his larynx heaving. “Bad idea.” Deep like the rumbling sea and magnetic, his gravelly voice threatened to drown any audience. ----- In a world ten thousand years after ours perishes, the planet is ruled by the First World, consisting of the Commonwealth and the Republic across the Huron Sea. 21-year-old Mira de Armas must escape the Commonwealth after a posse of vigilantes who called themselves the Reds started a revolution and persecuted her stepfather till his death. Disguised as a boy, she smuggles herself to the Republic. As she tries to escape from the Customs, she is caught by the most wanted man of the First World, the last drug lord who has taken out all the Republican cartels. The man offers Mira a deal: in exchange for helping him reach a hidden bunker and treating his gunshot wound, he will ensure her safety. Left with no alternative, Mira joins forces with him and soon discovers his other identity—Dr. Warshon Qusbecq, a renowned physician by day. As their journey unveils old memories and exposes the conspiracy behind the upcoming election of the First World Premier, their relationship shifts from mutual suspicion to affection. Through intellectual sparring and the exchange of personal histories, Mira begins to see the truth behind the villain’s mask: that darkness will always exist for the light to be enjoyed on the other side. How will she handle the danger that anchors her now? I hope you'll enjoy this romantasy.

Lions of tomorrow: rise

Lions of Tomorrow is a gripping political thriller set in a post-apocalyptic future where only 25 "nations" remain after global collapse, pandemics, and warfare caused by the onset of the great breakdown(2039-2046). Amidst the ashes of the old world, after the aftermath period(2046-2052) Japan now as the "True Japanese Republic" stands as one of the "okay nations," led by the National Liberal Party (NLP) from 2048, with its imperial family desperately trying to regain power. At the heart of the new national order is the Lainson Program(LP) a government initiative controlled by the Lainson agency(LA) designed to mold the next generation of leaders who will shape the future of Japan. But this program is more than just education it's a battleground of ambition, loyalty, and survival. In a world fractured by power struggles, the Lainson program(LP) is the ultimate proving ground for the nation’s youth, where rival factions and hidden agendas collide. Akira Ryu, the son of a runaway imperial princess and a key member of the NLP, is thrust into the program with the help of his fathers friend after the tragic deaths of his parents, which he believes were no mere accident. With a cunning mind and ruthless ambition, Akira seeks to manipulate the Lainson Program to his advantage, using it as a stepping stone to take control of Japan. But in his quest for power, he faces a network of enemies both within the program and beyond it who are equally determined to shape Japan in their own image. Among Akira’s potential allies are Kiria, an engineering prodigy and heir to one of worlds last remaining giant companies, Kaito, a fiercely loyal boy seeking revenge for the loss of his family, Yu, a brilliant economist with a dark past and Hayato, a mysterious boy whose parents’ disappearance is tied to the very foundations of the Lainson Development Committee. As Akira navigates the dangerous political landscape, he must decide who to trust, who to betray, and whether he can achieve his goals without losing his humanity. But as power shifts, alliances shift with it what was once considered impossible may be the only way forward. The future of Japan and perhaps the world will be decided by those who dare to rise from the ashes of the old world. In a world where nothing is as it seems, the true lions of tomorrow will emerge not from the battlefield, but from the shadows of the Lainson Program.

Batyr of the Final Gate

In the rugged landscapes of Bashkortostan, a land steeped in ancient myths and untamed nature, mysterious "Gates" begin to tear open reality. From these portals emerge monstrous beings—twisted versions of Bashkir folklore creatures like Shurale, Azraka, and Ubyr—threatening to overrun the world. Amid the chaos, an unlikely hero emerges: Aydar Salavatov, a lowly courier from Sterlitamak with no grand ambitions. Chosen by a cryptic "System," Aydar gains the powers of a batyr, a legendary warrior of Bashkir epics, starting with the humble "Voice of the Urals." Weak but determined, he must level up his abilities, confront the horrors spilling from the Gates, and uncover the dark force behind them. In a journey across Bashkortostan’s mountains, rivers, and cities, Aydar will rise from obscurity to become the batyr the world needs—if he can survive. *** Notes for English Readers: Bashkortostan: A republic in Russia, located in the Ural Mountains region, known for its rich history, diverse landscapes, and unique Bashkir culture. Think of it as a land where ancient traditions meet modern life. Batyr: A heroic figure from Bashkir folklore, akin to a knight or warrior of epic tales, often blessed with extraordinary strength or wisdom. Shurale: A forest spirit in Bashkir and Tatar mythology, typically a trickster with long claws who lures people to their doom. Here, it’s a towering, menacing monster. Azraka: A mythical dragon-like creature tied to the Ural Mountains, guarding treasures or secrets. Ubyr: A malevolent spirit or vampire-like entity that feeds on life force, sometimes possessing humans. System: Inspired by "Solo Leveling," a game-like interface that grants powers, levels, and quests to chosen individuals.
