As far as her eyes could see, war ships littered the blood red seas in the dusk. Where the simple fishing villages stood, there were now stockades. The memories of her blood soaked path centuries ago returned. A sole survivor. Except this was not Echizen where her journey first began. The reality was in Hakata bay. She reminisced as the cold wind rushed past her face. She will never flee her new home. Her old homeland across the seas no longer existed. Opening her glowing red eyes, a flaming sword manifested in her hand. Humans were not her concern. Unseen to the mortal eyes were the foreign supernatural beings accompanying the human invaders from the first landed ship. Looking upwards, the rolling thunder roared in the gathering clouds - she knew the signal. The strong winds started to pick up as the sea tidal waves grew larger and larger. Familiar dances of the Yamato dragons within the clouds made her smile. Ame has spoken.
"What are you waiting for...," a deep voice whispered gleefully as darkish wisps started taking on human forms in combat gear.
"Let's start...", she gripped her sword and charged forth.

Back to the days when ancient China was known as Kure (呉) and Japan was Yamato (大和), humans transversed the rough seas for cross cultural exchanges. Unknown to the humans, the Kami, also known as gods or deities, as well as supernatural beings, known as yōkai or ayakashi, trailed along invisibly with them from the great continent. Some establishing themselves slowly like their human counterparts as they integrated with native Yamato and Emishi beliefs, while others failed to get any reception and faded out of existence in the new lands.

Having been presumed dead, Akira woke up without any recollection of who he was. The only thing he does remember was his name, and the memory of a vivid ravenette with blood red eyes, along with her kind smile. However, there is another thing he does remember. Something he's good at. "Kill. Kill them all." As he slowly regains his memories, he begins to remember the things he's done. The pain he's felt, the regret he soon comes to bear, the sins of innocent lives he's taken. Remembering all this only furthers his drive to forget the pain and to bury it. But that's something that isn't easy to do, especially when those that he's killed keep reminding him and telling him to join them in the Underworld. However, there's only one person that can always reassure him. The familiar ravenette.

A Full Moon Is Poison to Some, to Others, Magic (One Shot)
"What do you believe in, Midoriya?" He asked simply. "What?" The man sighed, "Call me superstitious, but I believe in things that most men don't. Those beliefs are ingrained in me, they dictate my actions and they've saved my life. My gut tells me man should never have entered this place, so I listen." He looked serious and yet unbothered all at once as he turned his face towards the sky, taking his cigarette to tap the ash off into the sea. "If you believe in anything at all, I'd get back on this damn boat kid." Izuku was many things; Reckless? Certainly. A Coward? Never. **WARNINGS: Referenced sexual and physical assault, torture, blood, gore, violence. PLEASE read with these in mind.** P.s. This is about 20k words so strap in. -------------------------------------------------------------- This was first written for the MerMay 2023 challenge on AO3.

The Kami Chronicles Book 2: Tides of the Fallen Sea
The storm has passed-but the sea has not gone silent. Weeks after the Blood Moon's fall, Camp Tsukikage stands on uneasy ground. The kami whisper of shifting tides and old powers stirring beneath the waves. The ocean itself grows restless, and the god of storms-Ryūjin-no longer answers the prayers of his followers. When the first signs of flooding strike the coasts of Japan and yokai begin washing ashore, Jack "Shin" Ryker and the Tidebreakers are summoned once more. Their mission: descend into the Sea Palace, Ryūjin's legendary underworld domain, and uncover what force has bound their divine father in silence. But the journey below the surface is nothing like the mortal world. The depths are alive with forgotten gods, sunken temples, and ancient creatures that even Ryūjin once feared. Old friends will fracture, new allies will emerge, and the line between god and mortal will blur beyond recognition. As the Blood Moon Cult rises anew under the serpent's call, Jack will face the truth behind his power- that every storm has a heart, and every tide demands a price. The sea remembers its own. And it's coming to collect.Concluida

A TAIL OF NINE
Kitsune have more names than there are stars in the sky, but I only have one--Jack Jericho. Call Kon of the Many Tails whatever you want-fox-spirit, monster, kitsune, myth-to me, she's one thing-mom. But everybody's got a past, and hers is about to catch up to both of us. I always knew there was more to her than keeping me safe during the war between Glass and Stone that almost took out a town called Dooms, Virginia. Hey, with a name like Dooms, I guess you should expect an apocalypse or two. When I was a baby, my parents gave me to a crazy cult lead by a magic-wielding, Bible-beating psycho called the Glass Man. To get his way, he was willing to kill whoever he needed to. Even me. An army of monsters and people took him out before he could. Most people don't know about that stuff. People like thinking that magic is fake and that the world is boring. They want to believe that monsters are just things you read about in books. But a very real and powerful monster is coming after Kon and will stop at nothing to get her! No matter what, I'll die to keep her safe! I may look normal, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. To save Kon, I'm gonna have to fight my way past wolf-monsters, humanoid crows that call themselves the Widow Boys, and even more! I thought I knew what I should be afraid. I didn't. But I'm about to find out ...Concluida
