Original Description of the overall story universe- This story is about a middle world where fate itself has been broken. That means that those who would have lived ordinary lives, can now lead extraordinary lives, lives which could alter the overall scheme which the gods have put in place. But as these once ordinary individuals are freed from fate, the greater world is shaken as fate fails to control the order of things. While mortals squabble on the ground, will anyone look to the sky and see that it is falling? Royal road admins I am real

I thought I was nothing until one person caused my life to be nothing but a lie. I had things that was only a story could tell. Now I must find my way through it too regain my old life that was taken from me. I will post every Thursday and Sunday Hello people of the world. I hope you like my work. Don't be shy to tell me when my writing sucks but I hope you stay for the next part of the story.

A former samurai wanders unto the infamous Yoshiwara district, a place where the most base desires of man are free to roam without judgement. Hashira Sakurai wasn't there to fill the void in his heart with company from a stranger nor did he intend to blur his mind's eye with the delicious taste of alcohol... No, he was there to get rid of something for good. Rumors led him to a place called Yokai-Yo Inn, a place filled with creatures from myths and legends. Could he finally find the peace he's searching for?

By his master's request, Tadayoshi destroyed the life he had. Now he looks for the reason.

The General is devastated when his country is invaded and forced to surrender to enemy forces. Even more so, when he is threatened to work under the Conqueror lest he send his people to perish. Only for the Conqueror to be baffled to find out that having witnessed his mute brother die in his arms due to a mutiny caused by an unruly eunuch beforehand, the General has undertaken a vow of silence. Under the condition that he only take a wife should she prove she can fight and stand besides him, he promises to fight endless battles for this almighty dictator. The Conqueror laughs at this request, however needing capable generals, he proceeds to let the deaf general (his ear damaged during a blast) take command. Everything changes when a neighboring tribe allies with the Conqueror, and the chieftain's daughter is introduced in all her war-torn glory. Instantly, the Conqueror's brother, the Sixteenth prince is smitten, and the General's eyes reveal nothing. She comes to admire the war-weary General's now mature-attitude towards war while the Conqueror proposes the Sixteenth have a marriage with a Japanese shogun's daughter, a recent widow whose husband was killed by pirates. However, the Shogun's Daughter is ambushed by pirates, and as she fights her way out, she catches the Sixteenth Prince's attention. The reluctant pair are caught in a misunderstanding when she judges the Sixteenth to be sent as a bodyguard to escort her. Meanwhile, the General allows the Chieftain's daughter to be in his presence. Onlookers observe that maybe...his cold presence is starting to warm up. Unfortunately, matters at the court, Japanese Pirates, and other Oriental kingdoms threaten the safety of the burgeoning kingdom. It is said Quien mucho abarca, poco aprieta. (Who takes in/embraces a lot/much, few/little is squeezed.) What can a deaf General and his constituents do in the face of these insurmountable odds? Historical fiction drama set in Ancient China.
