Japanesemythology Stories

In the final years of Japan's Heian Era, the world is slowly collapsing beneath war, curses, and monstrous beings known as The Fallen. Legends speak of a hidden realm called Paradise - a perfect world beyond pain and suffering - but anyone who seeks it is never the same again. After surviving the destruction of his village as a child, young samurai Renji Akamori wanders across a dying Japan carrying a cursed blade tied to Paradise itself. Alongside a mysterious shrine maiden and a group of broken outcasts, Renji battles demons, immortal warriors, corrupted nobles, and horrifying creatures born from human desire. But the deeper he searches for the truth... ...the more he realizes Paradise is not heaven. It is something far worse.

[Cloak of the Dusk Series #1] Nimue Morana Sonnet was an ordinary archaeologist, that is, until her half-sister passed away. Now, she has only one path ahead of her. She must confront her true identity as a soul reaper, and to achieve this, she needs to venture into the Hollow Land and strive to survive. Upon entering that realm you will come across a game that you may not survive, and it is this peril that she yearns to face. It is all for the sake of vengeance. Nimue never understood the Deathly Hallows or the truth between life and death. All she knew was that she was about to die and needed to find a way out. It wasn't until her doctor described the connection between soul reapers and hollows, as well as the reasons for her impending death, that she began to comprehend. Not until a man in a black cloak leads her during the hours of 4 AM to 4 PM. It is in this place where the shadows draw her nearer. Moreover, despite her attempts to escape her fate as a soul reaper, it is the red knot that binds him to her. How can she evade death if it is death that is approaching her? {Written in Taglish} Warning! R-18. 🔞 Not suitable for very young audiences.

Existence continues after death. Your grandma always told you that, but you didn't believe her until you woke up on the other side. A world where the monsters she whispered to you about roam freely. And you have been reborn as a monster, just like them. But you're not out of the woods yet. A mix of fate, bad luck, and debt from your life has you enrolled in the 'Kami Kyoso'. A tournament of youkai from the other world, fighting for the entertainment of the gods and a first class ticket into heaven. It's a brutal fight where newly reborn youkai like yourself would usually be trampled, but there's hope yet. You have a mysterious, suspicious, godly sponsor in your corner. He might be a bit strange, with reasons you couldn't possibly hope to understand. But he also might just get you through this and onto the better parts of your eternal existence. Maybe. It's a bit of a toss up, at the moment. Even with your doubts, your confusion, your fear, you will survive. You are desperate to survive, you must survive. You're scared, but you will survive. You will win. You will fight, you have to. - Credits: My co-writer Penelope, and my beta-reader Isa!

The veil is a mystical sheet that protects the entirety of the human world from the other side. The veil is cracking, slowly but surely. The world has no choice but to call upon the Kami. The Kami are being petty though; the last time they bestowed power to the humans, bad shit happened. They still have a grudge about how much time and energy they wasted protecting them. Even with the overall refusal amongst the citizens of Takamagahara, Amaterasu rules that every higher Kami, including Susanoo, must endorse a human of their choosing in the next 10 years. Amaterasu doesn't find this very pleasing either, but what choice does she have? If the veil breaks, and the other side takes over the human world, they might find the ambition to challenge the higher beings. Amaterasu cannot take such a chance. With the cracks in the veil increasing, what will happen when Susanoo makes a hasty, last minute decision and chooses the person least fit for the job? ------------------- Here we go again.

NOW A WATTPAD FEATURED LIST STORY!!! Being the best comes with a terrible price. Slade Wilson, AKA Deathstroke, is among the finest assassins and mercenaries in the world, but every relationship he’s ever had has ended in carnage and betrayal, whether with father or brother, wife and child, friend and ally. Of all those he’s ever cared about, only two are left. One is his daughter Rose, known among costumed adventurers as Ravager. She’s a member of the Teen Titans, but she’s never felt entirely at home among them or anywhere else. Even though her father trained her mercilessly and dosed her with the same serum that made him what he is before he turned on her, he's all the family she has. The other is Yukime Kuwano, a professional henchman who seems to live and breathe secrets. She’s been his lover for two years, and she’s searching for something in this world or the next. Slade wants his daughter to continue her training and follow in his footsteps. Knowing how little Rose trusts him, he's come up with the perfect bait to lure her back: someone she can trust. A new mother. Yukie is all the things he isn't--warm, reliable, and kind. Yukie thinks she's taking her lover on vacation to Japan as a way of saying goodbye to both him and the world. Her interest in the supernatural is leading her places where there is no turning back. But when Rose unexpectedly joins them in Tokyo, they bond so quickly and so naturally it's like they're already a family, just as Slade planned. The question now is: Who will get what they want, and what are they willing to sacrifice to get it? (Busy being rewritten into an original story called 'Snowblood' in the hopes I can get it published.)
