Kami no Shōten

In an era of warring lords and ancient spirits, a forgotten god is reborn. Kaito, a seemingly ordinary boy from a tranquil Japanese village, lives a life of quiet simplicity. But when a monstrous oni shatters his peaceful existence, a dormant power awakens within him – a blinding, divine light that banishes the darkness and leaves his village in awe and fear. Cast out for a gift he barely understands, Kaito is taken under the wing of Ayaka, a perceptive Miko from Kyoto, who recognizes the immense spiritual energy coursing through his veins: the Kami no Chikara, the Power of the Gods. As Kaito trains at the sacred Kamo Shrine, he slowly unearths fragments of a past life – a life as an ancient guardian, a powerful kami who sacrificed everything to seal away a cosmic evil. But the seal is weakening. A malevolent entity, the Yami-no-Kami, is stirring, its corruption seeping into the land, manipulating ambitious warlords and dark Onmyoji to orchestrate its full return. From the shadows, a ruthless Onmyoji, Abe no Kage, seeks to unleash this ancient darkness, believing it will forge a new world order. Joined by the enigmatic ninja, Hattori Hanzo, Kaito must confront not only his own awakening divinity but also a conspiracy that threatens to unravel the very spiritual fabric of Japan. As the lines between human ambition and divine malice blur, Kaito finds himself at the heart of a gathering storm, destined for a climactic confrontation at the sacred Mount Fuji. Can a reincarnated god, now bound by human compassion, stand against a darkness he once barely contained? Or will Japan fall to the Serpent's Embrace, plunging the world into an eternal night? Kami no Shōten is an epic tale of reincarnation, divine power, and the enduring spirit of Japan, perfect for fans of action-packed fantasy, rich mythology, and overpowered protagonists.

The Book of Becoming Prologue: Discovery

The Book of Becoming — Before gods had names, before death had a meaning, Cain broke the first law. He defied Heaven, murdered his brother Abel—then resurrected him. That single act of rebellion shattered the equilibrium of creation, birthing sin, memory, and consequence. Abel returned, no longer mortal. His rebirth was incomplete, a soul rewritten by divine paradox. Now he walks the multiverse as Necros-Babel, the Almighty’s Eternal Witness, Shepherd of Endings, and Paragon of Death—the first Reaper, the shadow by which all others measure their silence. Even gods fear him, for he remembers what they have chosen to forget. Ages later, as time circles back upon itself, the Nine Ascendants rise—each embodying one fragment of the divine equation lost when Abel died: light, flame, shadow, will, void, genesis, mind, flesh, and judgment. They are not heroes. They are the unresolved ideas of gods long dead, summoned by the universe itself to restore balance to a world collapsing under the weight of its own perfection. But deep beneath the ocean floor, in the cathedral of bones that was once Eden’s foundation, Cain sleeps still—his blood crystallized into the Seal of Dominion, binding Heaven, Sea, and Void together. Should the seal fracture, his awakening will not be a resurrection but a rewrite—the unmaking of existence so it may begin again in his image. The Ascendants’ light cannot save creation without first confronting the oldest truth: to ascend, one must consume their own divinity. Each must descend into the heart of their paradox, where their virtues become their devourers, and the shadows of Cain whisper the law of all flesh—that to know God is to inherit His hunger. The final prophecy speaks of the hour when Fire meets Stillness, when the Nine stand beneath a bleeding sky and remember their mortality. In that instant, the heavens will collapse inward; time will fracture; the rivers of light will flow backward; and the sky itself will scream. And at the center of it all, Necros-Babel—Abel reborn, the first and last witness—will decide whether creation deserves to begin again… or end forever.

The Epic of Lac Viet

Tired of standard Xianxia tropes? I wrote an Epic Progression Fantasy based on ancient Vietnamese Mythology Hello everyone! If you are looking for a fresh take on cultivation, kingdom-building, and epic cosmic battles, I’d love to introduce my novel, The Epic of Lac Viet. Instead of standard Daoist tropes, this story dives deep into the untapped richness of ancient Vietnamese mythology—featuring the Dong Son Bronze Drums, the mythical Lac Bird, and the primordial Dragon-Fairy bloodline. Synopsis: The story follows Tran Kien, a calm and fiercely determined youth. When his homeland faces annihilation by the descent of the Nine-Tiered Heavenly Palace and vengeful spirits from the Underworld, he accidentally resonates with a supreme ancient artifact. Starting as a humble cultivator, Kien must navigate a treacherous path, forge alliances, and build an unstoppable army to protect his people. His journey isn't about selfish immortality; it's about pushing the boundaries of mortality to challenge the Heavenly Emperor himself. What to expect: • [+] A Brand New World: Deep lore based on actual Vietnamese ancient history and mythology. • [+] Progression Fantasy & Cultivation: Meaningful Weak-to-Strong progression, evolving into reality-warping, cosmic-level battles. • [+] Kingdom Building: Epic scale warfare, strategy, and army management. • [+] The Protagonist: Calm, hardworking, and deeply anchored by his duty to his homeland. (No harem, no mindless arrogance). • [+] Slow-burn Epic: A massive, layered world that rewards patient readers. The Best Part? As an author, I hate dropped novels as much as you do. That’s why I already have a massive backlog of 700 chapters completely outlined and drafted. I am publishing DAILY updates, so you never have to worry about this story going on hiatus.
