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.

Cosmic Curtaincall

A Denizen of Infinity discovers a newborn universe seeking the only thing Infinity does not have: An End. Of any kind. Out from infinity and into the finite plane, Athelei manifested beside the initial point of creation. Now, not one, but two Big Bangs will wreak havoc upon the nigh-endless emptiness. What else would you expect when a paradoxical, high-dimensional being steps into a world similar to ours? A Holy Light? The birth of a God? Pft. The natures of matter are unaligned. Nay, they are opposite. The rules of physics are simply incompatible. Annihilation was all that awaited what comprehensible physical form Athelei had ownership of. So, Athelei simply extracted his existence, leaving his infinite body to mesh with the energies of the newborn universe. He then stepped forward to walk through an ocean of time, seeking a timeline and a specific time at random. Now, Athelei was floating in the midst of a thriving universe... But then, a seemingly human emotion tugged at him, as human thoughts bubbled into his mind. "Something's.... wrong..." In more ways than one. =} What's wrong with this universe? {= Aside from the typical planets, galaxies, atoms, and other scientific rules, other magical features had mutated into existence due to the universe's special creation. There are three unique Systems, weird and baffling alien races, magical lifeforms, jaw-dropping technology, and Unknown Mystical Phenomenon. The universe is also not populated by 99.999999% empty space. There are weird places where things can live that are not planets as well as more accessible transportation systems that beat wormholes. Who knows? Maybe some kind of tower just pops into existence—a magical tower with a height of at least a few lightyears. In short, instead of a fantasy world, we have a fantasy universe. A perfect place for an MC with an unquenchable curiosity despite his... artistic (read, psycho) desires.

Shadow Fighters

Part One, The Magnar. A cloaked man walked in through the doorway and looked around at all the artifacts displayed around the cottage. His soulless, empty eyes scoured the room, ghoulish thrills running up his spine as his eyes sought only one thing. "Can I help you?" A sweet voice chimed and he barely contained himself from breaking her neck for severing his concentration. He turned to her but didn't offer a reply. And then his eyes caught the glint of blue behind her. A slow smirk crept on his lips. The sapphire stone just lay there, immobile, shining in all its glory, tiny white webs creating a mesh on the immaculate surface, embedded into the rustic slab of metal. After years of searching and here it lay, on show for everyone to see. His slithery voice hissed out a question and a compliment about the stone and it's owner, which made the petite woman blush. His tongue curled at the roof of his mouth, hands as pale as a ghost, rubbing themselves together as if planning a big scheme. And then he was gone, the lapels of his black tailcoat flicking around the corner. Later that night, as she collected the dishes after dinner while rubbing her protruding belly affectionately, the woman told her husband about the strange man and his piqued interest in the stone. The man froze midway, carrying his wailing daughter in his arms as his mouth half-opened to comfort her. His eyes shone in fear as the candlelight bounded off of his face. His face paled and even the little girl stopped crying as if sensing her father's apprehension. "It's happening," he whispered anxiously, gripping his daughter tight. "What?" The woman stumbled back and cried. "It can't be! That was over a 100 years ago!" "It's starting again," he said frightfully and just at that moment, the window of the living room shattered.
