Arikawa Under The Bridge

In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn’t guaranteed—it’s earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool—and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths—ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread—a path where strength isn’t just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he’s willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.

"You and I need to declare to them that we are dating." "Neither stingy love nor false feelings tell of the inner beauty of a person. Only purity in the soul, to which people's gaze is subject, is worthy to cause amazement about the fullness of the person in whom that trait is placed." "Do you know what that made me realize?" Ryo said surreptitiously, and slowly turned around. "People need care," he added slowly, with a confident tone. "Why does one's happiness not return with a coin…? Why should I endure it for more than a decade? Did I do something wrong?" she said quietly, leaning on her knees. It was the cycle of her life. *** Tokyo, 2022.

Summary of the story: "Under the Enemy Moon" In a world where werewolves have existed for centuries, two clans, the Fierce and the Nocturnes, have been engaged in an ancient war. Their conflict dates back to a long-forgotten betrayal, and the hatred between them seems indestructible. The Fierce, known for their discipline and sense of honor, are the protectors of the territory. The Nocturnes, wilder and more untamed, are known for their raw power and refusal to follow any rules. This rivalry has been fueled by centuries of conflict, power struggles, and bloody murders. At the heart of this war is Fiona, a young she-wolf from the Fierce clan, who has always been protected by her elders. But one day, during a reconnaissance mission, she comes face-to-face with Kane, a member of the enemy clan, the Nocturnes. As they clash, a strange chemistry develops between them, an intense attraction neither of them fully understands. Kane, the heir to the Nocturnes' leader, is far from the monster Fiona had imagined. He is charismatic, honorable despite the brutality of his clan, and he feels a mysterious bond with Fiona that he cannot explain. Fiona, on her part, is torn between the instinct of loyalty to her clan and the attraction she feels for this mortal enemy. Their encounter upends everything they thought they knew about their clans and their beliefs. As their relationship develops, they discover that their bond goes beyond mere attraction. Their connection seems fated, as if the moon itself orchestrated their meeting. But this union is risky: every kiss, every moment spent together fuels the tensions between their clans, putting their lives and those of their loved ones in danger. As tensions rise and war erupts once again between the Fierce and the Nocturnes, Fiona and Kane must choose between the love they share and their loyalty to their clans. Could their love break the curse of ancestral hatred? Or will it be their downfall, the final spark in an endless war? "Under the Enemy Moon" is a story of impossible love, sacrifice, and redemption, where two soulmates fight against their destiny to attempt to reconcile worlds devastated by hatred.

Yggdrasil, the world tree. A being of omnipotence that controls and guides the universe with its infinite influence and wisdom, seeking an outcome that no man or creature could comprehend. Many believe the world tree contains the universe and keeps it stable simply, but the truth is hardly ever so simple. Yggdrasil manifests the universe's will and constantly searches for a net positive outcome. However, these outcomes often come at great prices, with many of the Tree's actions resulting in the loss of millions of sentient lives. However, the Tree is Omnipotent and thus sees life at an infinite scale. This infinite view allows the tree to see the long-term effects of the decisions it makes, thus resulting in 100% net positive outcomes. However, in the past 60 years, there has been a disturbance, one from another universe entirely—a universe where pure chaos reigned supreme, and there was no overseer. This chaotic universe has begun to bleed through the universal folds of time and space, allowing interaction between the two. As a result of this bleeding, the planet most important to Yggdrasil's desired universal outcome is being overrun by the Void Seekers. In order to save its universe and destroy the Void, Yggdrasil has made a Drastic decision—a decision involving one man: Magni Gunvaldsen. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Welcome to my story, fellow humans. I have had to rewrite this story 15 times because I was never truly satisfied with it, but here I am with the final product. I have solidified the plot, given my main character a real personality, and corrected my writing style to fit the theme of the book more closely. The amount of time and effort I have put into this book is honestly frightening, but nonetheless, it is worth every second, penny, and sleepless night. I have set this novel up so that I can continue it indefinitely if need be, but I will at least have three volumes written in three years. Each novel will be 50 full-length chapters long and jam-packed with content, but I will not slack on the quality. I will be posting chapters at a minimum of 3k words once a week, and some will even go up to 6k or 7k. The first volume will focus on Magni's unique situation, emotions, and his drive for success. It will touch on many things, such as mental health, expectations, faith, and the will of others. The second volume will Focus on revenge and how the idea is flawed but, in an imperfect world, is a necessary evil. The 3rd volume will focus on the concept of destiny, the emotion of love, the correlation between the two, and the inverse. (this is when Magni's love interest will be revealed). Of course, there will still be plenty of action; this is an action novel series, but there will be solid themes of love in this 3rd volume. If that's not your cup of tea, then I don't care. I'm sure plenty of loyal readers out there will support me despite you. Welcome to a journey of a lifetime, and I hope you enjoy.

I'm mainly doing this as a hobby, but if it takes off(which I doubt it will, but one can only hope and work harder), I will put a link to my Patreon.
