[I died and was accidentally reborn as an angelic monstrosity, so now I’m building a holy dungeon-tower that is tall enough to reach the gods; so that I can complain about it! But the humans think that I am trying to destroy the world.]
____________________________
The senselessness of so much of the world’s death and suffering is made apparent to the dying paladin, Isaiah, in his final moments before he perishes and is, shortly thereafter, reborn into a comparatively quiet and peaceful existence as a simple blackbird.... more>>

However, the powerful magic of the god whom Isaiah himself had served in his prior human life upends this latest existence, as a spell goes awry, turning the entity instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal.

Isaiah, desperate to return to its simple life as a blackbird, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen by the eyes of the world in order to reach the reclusive gods who reside in the heavens above and make them undo the transformation in a bid to allow itself an escape from the complex suffering of intelligent, self-aware mortality.

* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales *... more>>

Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems.

What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way.

Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book:

“Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…”

On the continent of Moravia, eight empires have united humanity into a coalition of kingdoms that killed the world’s gods and have sworn to uphold peace amongst mortals.

One fateful day in autumn, thirteen people were saved by angels with an agenda: one of these people would become the next God, while the others would become shinigami. The catch? These god candidates are spread across the world, and they have 99 days—until the end of the year—to either find allies against or hide from someone who claims to be the new Kira. But even among these alliances, everyone has their own agenda... ... more>>

This is a loose rewrite of the source material. The Arrows' powers are modified for story purposes. All the angels stay the same, but except for Mirai Kakehashi and Kanade Uryu, most of the god candidates will be different, as many of them are no longer from Japan. Some will play familiar roles but with a twist. Saki Hanakago will have some of the biggest changes, since I felt that her character was very weak and generally unlikeable, especially as the main female. Hopefully I did everyone justice! <<less

Here, we see the entire world of Zasshu Empire along with the rest of the cosmology and history from the perspective of a cryptic and mysterious author named M, also known by his other alias as Kuro and 'The Informant'. The author's life is unknown as this is the only copy remaining that was found available in public.... more>>

Strangely enough, the pages seem to manifest themselves as soon as more secrets are discovered and unfolded. The descriptions in this book seems to contain mostly information about various Youjuu and supernatural beings. Along with information of specific beasts, whose power and abilities are described as 'threat levels'. It also deals with characteristics and the countermeasures used against various beasts when one encounters them.

However, everything recorded here are within the knowledge of this mysterious author as it may be prone to misconceptions, hypothesis' and overall lack of a proper research. So take everything with a grain of salt.
