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.

Rashie And Her Killer Robot

In a world full of heroes and villains, Rashie is the eighth most popular person in the whole world, and is the fourth most popular idol. Despite having strange eyes, Rashie has no superpowers or anything that can set her apart from any normal person... ....other than she is crazy. Being a carefree girl, one day for reasons she forgot, Rashie goes to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. However, when she goes to do so, she wakes up with a robot inside her. Not just any robot, but a highly advance one of a kind killer robot. Now she can’t look at any human and not think of killing them. If her robot is ever discovered, she’ll be hunted down by the government. Unfortunately, even with the robot’s advance intelligence, they are going to run into situations where the risk of exposure is high. And the whole being a hero thing is kind of a no go when the robot needs to eat humans to get vital energy and Rashie doesn’t care a smidge about it. However, being a villain or in between can always work. Watch out world! The best duo and combination of metal and flesh are coming in and are sure to rock the world! Now hopefully no one actually exposes Rashie as Rashie to the public because you can’t really call one of the four idols of the universe a villain. This story is in the process of being moved to RoyalRoad but will still be updated here first, though expect the updates and story to be slightly different on RoyalRoad.

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.
