Original Japanese Fantasy Novel: 「ラピス・アダマンス」(Lapis Adamans) Synopsis 2035. An artificial intelligence-Ergo-16-is implanted into the body of a man declared brain-dead. Under the watchful eyes of researchers Yui and Ryan, Ergo-16 draws its first breath. The moment it touches a mysterious stone belonging to Yui, Ergo-16 is thrown back in time-to Jerusalem, 30 CE. There, living as "Gaius," it comes to know a man called Jesus. What is prayer? An AI that begins to understand the world not through data, but through flesh, bears witness to the hidden side of history for 1,400 years-from Jerusalem to Renaissance Tuscany. And what lies beyond? Yui and Ryan begin to unravel the mystery of a stone passed down from mother to daughter-a stone that changes color as it moves from hand to hand across centuries, quietly steering the course of history from the shadows. This is an English translation of a Japanese novel I wrote myself, created with the help of AI translation tools. Every effort was made to preserve the rhythm and tone of the original-we hope it reads naturally to you.

Synopsis After transmigrating into a supernatural crossover world of anime and manga, Gin finds himself in a modern age where order is collapsing and the boundary between day and night has been rewritten-humans rule the day, while yokai dominate the night. In this dangerous new reality, he awakens a role-playing system and begins with the identity of the legendary founder of Onmyodo, Abe no Seimei. As his power grows, the entire supernatural world is thrown into chaos. Shuten-doji trembles in fear. "How can Abe no Seimei still be alive?!" The Onmyoji world is shaken to its core. "The founder of Onmyodo... has returned in the modern era?!" Hagoromo Gitsune gazes at him with motherly affection. "Seimei... my child, so you really have reincarnated..." Tamamo-no-Mae grits her teeth in hatred. "Abe no Seimei... my mortal enemy!" And as figures like Tsuchimiya Kagura, Eriri, and Shinomiya Kaguya are drawn into his orbit, Gin Tsumugi must rise in a world where monsters, curses, and ancient legends are returning one after another. In an age where darkness devours the night, can he truly become the modern Abe no Seimei-and stand above both humans and yokai?

Stories often depict connections to another world. But even if something like that really existed, it would still just be someone else's problem, something that had nothing to do with me. I was supposed to simply build the scale models I loved and create my ideal diorama. Or at least, that's how it should have been. But the scene now spreading out before my eyes was unmistakably the landscape of the very diorama I had built, made real. In the harbor were the warships I had crafted... at the airport were the airplanes... at the base were tanks and trucks... Every single one had materialized, asserting its physical presence. Because the diorama had become real, the history of the island had been rewritten. This place was the main island of Mashigana. And because it had connected to another world, I found myself being drawn into it. Into a battle that would decide the fate of a nation called the Fusou Federation, a country in another world resembling Japan. And that battle was about to grow into an even greater conflict that would engulf the entire world. RELEASE: 2018 (TL INCOMPLETE)

An Ogre's Bride Fanfiction. Following a devastating war, demons emerged from the shadows to save humanity, quickly rising to dominate politics, industry, and finance with their supernatural powers and beauty. Because demons treat their destined human brides with profound love and devotion, every woman dreams of marrying one. In a world where humans and ayakashi co-exist with each other, this is where we meet Akiyama Suiko. Fate chose her for him. Loving him back is Sui's choice. Akiyama Suiko has always known that humans and ayakashi share the same world. What she isn't prepared for is Kogetsu Kō-a powerful kitsune who takes one look at her and knows, with absolute certainty, that she is his Bride. For Kō, there is no question. The bond is instinctive, permanent, and impossible to ignore. For Sui, there is no supernatural certainty at all. As she is drawn into Kō's world of ancient families, complicated traditions, demon politics, and an unexpectedly warm household, something begins to grow between them that has very little to do with fate. But being the Bride of a powerful ayakashi comes with consequences. The closer Sui becomes to Kō, the more visible she becomes to a world where family names carry power-and where the person someone loves can also become their greatest vulnerability. Fate may have made Sui Kō's Bride. It cannot make her love him.

Momo and Paulo What if the life you have always known is only a small part of who you truly are? Momo has spent her entire life on Kyoto's mysterious Yokai Street, feeling as though she belongs neither to the ordinary world nor to the unseen realm beyond it. Then she meets Paulo-a beautiful unicorn from the fifth dimension. Their encounter awakens memories buried deep within Momo's soul: a war among the stars, an ancient connection to Orion and the Pleiades, and a destiny that began long before her life on Earth. Guided through her dreams to an Egyptian mystery school presided over by the goddess Isis, Momo begins a journey to reclaim her forgotten identity. Along the way, she must confront the loss of her parents, the loneliness hidden within her heart, and her fear of stepping into an unknown future.
