Olden Kamuy

Hougu Wars

Elevator Pitch: This is a story about what are Dragon Balls coming down into a society inhabited by humans and demons (Fairies, Youkai, etc.) and various groups clashing over them to vie for power and influence. On top of being a wish-granting device collectively, what if these “Dragon Balls” are distinct magical artifacts, each with serious power that could tip the scales balance, even in regional politics? Follow the story of several protagonists dealing with different sides of a Hougu War to come! Synopsis: In a post pole shift world, divinely-powered artifacts known as “Hougu” had been traversing dimensions, appearing in the material world and enticing many to seek them for making tall fortunes, attaining great powers, building fame, and so on. As Kamui STAR had been ravaged with seeming civil wars—dubbed Hougu Wars—cyclically occurring every few decades, all in pursuit of these magical treasures by all sorts of groups, certain characters grapple with their presence, one of them coming across a sentient sword claiming to be a Sacred Hougu. The Wars would soon begin and they’d find themselves unable to keep their distance, choosing sides for better or worse. This is a TTRPG turned novel featuring 7 protagonists, with the 8th to come in Act 2, using the system of Tokyo NOVA. Characters will be shown interacting with the bizarre “megaplex” they call Kamui STAR, the capital megalopolis of a country boasting a mesh of various ethnic groups, but mostly Japanese and Russians. Instead of forming a party of their own, the protagonists would each take the side of a group in the upcoming Hougu Wars. ______________________ Note: Like most of my works, this is a slow-paced series that takes its sweet time setting things up. First seven chapters shift from one protagonist to another, and the chapters take place roughly chronologically. Protagonists: 1. Yuki: a young urchin who is a caretaker of children by day and an Onmyouji by night. 2. Exelica: an amnesiac woman from space sent on a secret mission. 3. Kagura–Hotaru: a high school girl who takes up a sword thinking someone had dropped it, only to learn she had picked up one of the Seven Hougu. 4. Lev: a cold assassin for hire masquerading as an arms shopkeeper. 5. Saya: a dorky spy of Tara Clan who happens to be an art student (despite never going to any art class). 6. Anastasia: a Hanyou hired as a hacker and hunter who struggles to find her place in the Western Ward, a place inhabited by mages and Ayakashi. 7. Hisaki: a craftsman obsessed with forging his own Hougu, joining with a powerful Ayakashi clan to further his aim. Schedule: 1 Chapter will be posted every Friday, roughly 3 PM (UTC+6). This is also posted on: AO3, ScribbleHub, Royal Road and Wattpad. Cover image is drawn by a friend known as monkoumon. It features Exelica.

Two Genders, Same Personality

Disclaimer: [This novel is a semi-spin off story of another story I, Xalysian, haven't posted yet on Webnovel. This is a modern fantasy set in a different world although acts so similarly to the real world we're in.] [Paused, do read GRaD instead... will have smut scenes in Volume 2] Agenda, like Earth, had its own history. From the beginning of time, there was a dream born from the minds of two beautiful Goddesses, Astrade and Lionella. That dream later became a world born of life, the world took on a name, Agenda, to keep on nurturing its environment overtime. Through many histories of the past from wars to legends and lastly, memories, the world finally became at peace. Free of world ending threats of the old, free of suffocation caused by the Conqueror who was the sole reason behind the countless nightmares in the olden past. Now, we're settled in a world of peace. In the modern era of Agenda, in the country of Ridgea. We set our eyes on a little incident that caused a young man and a young woman had a dispute on what was going on with their lives. Beginning from the start of their fated morning, the man had woken up from his sleep only to find a girl sleeping beside him. Excited at the sight of her bold appearance? Indeed, one could admire such beauty. Flustered from the surprise after realising it wasn't a dream? Hell yeah! One could say that they managed to hit a jackpot! However... This man was frustrated by the beautiful sleeping girl in his bed with questions in his mind. "Who the f**k is she? And why does she looked like me?" [P.S., I'm bad with synopsis. I don't know whether I should explain the world first or just go right into the story. However, this is a spin off story based on the same world as my other works (not in Webnovel yet, since I'm terrible at keeping up with my own updates).] [P.S.S., Not recommended for people under the age of 18. Several light NSFW or full on NSFW content ahead.] Tags: [Supernatural] [Fantasy] [Spin-off] [Slice of Life] [Action] [Romance] [Comedy] [Modern-setting] [School] [P.S.S.S., Don't get your hopes up, I don't intend to fully explore the spin-off series as I'm experimenting with this concept.]

My Hybrid System, Long forgotten.

In olden times, there was an orphan named Alec. Growing up without the knowledge of who his parents were, Alec was forced to live with his uncle who mistreated him and barely gave him a proper meal.  However, in an effort to get food he committed an unintentional crime whose penalty was death. When Alec was caught, he ran into the woods and was chased down by the local police officers, along with his uncle's sister, Elva. While running in the woods, he unconsciously stumbled over a tree root causing him to fall back down the hill. "No!!" He screamed as he rolled down the hill.  "Arrr!!" Alec winced in pain when he subsequently stopped rolling.  As he observed the damages he bought from the fall, he heard far away chatterings of the police officers after him. "Shit! They are nearby," Alec muttered in panic as he right away stood on his feet to continue running. However, just as he took one step farther from the place he stood, he fell inside a deep dark hole.  "No!!!!!!" Alec screamed as he went down the deep dark hole. The last thing he saw was a mild red light before passing out. "Where am I? " he asked, "What happened?" Just then a screen appeared before his eyes. [System processing…] [System activated] [You have successfully activated your Long forgotten hybrid system] "What?" This was where his ride began.  Now the fate of mankind lies in his hands as he keeps on completing quests and tasks to get stronger. The question is, will he be able to cease and defeat Lucifer? ******* Support the author with your votes. ********* Note to new readers, The first few chapters may appear similar to MVS if you have a look at it carefully but as the book goes it will take turns to become a story of its own. If you are not relaxed reading it, I will advise that you do not even begin but if you wanna stick with me till the story's transformation then I will be glad to have you as one of my readers. ********** Author's note, There might be a few grammatical errors in the first few chapters but I promise that as you read, you will get to revel the story.

Or is it made in order to protect us from the evil forces at the other side of the world's edge? That is something that we don't know.

But even so, it does not matter. For you, Admiral Cross of the Silver Front, must go to the world's edge and seek the truth there is at the world's edge. For the future of humanity.
