Sakashima’s economy and everyone’s quality of life are in peril!... more>>

Everyone is blissfully ignorant except Central Bank Chairman Matsuda and those in the highest echelons of government. When the crap hits the fan and the truth can no longer be denied, the Sakashiman people will want answers… and the blood of those responsible!

Fortunately there is a solution. UN-fortunately the only man alive who can help is a broken shell of his former self; a man destroyed in the past by none other than Chairman Matsuda.

Can this man find the strength to let bygones be bygones and lend his aid? What could Matsuda offer our hero in return for his assistance? Can a high-functioning sociopath like Matsuda even be trusted to deliver on his promises?

Find out in… A Palace of Sea Urchins.

* Hi. This is my first time writing a novel, and I’m kind of writing this as an outline and a place to storyboard.

It’s nice to write the whole story so I could just put down my ideas for each chapter and make things easier for me when making the webtoon adaption!

I plan on making the comic version after I’ve finished writing a few more chapters, so I hope you guys enjoy! <<less

I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. ... more>>

In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". <<less

Nomad is immortal, but he wishes he wasn't.... more>>

He thought he was doing the world a favor by slaying the Demon King, but he got a curse instead: a shard that gave him eternal life. Everyone wanted a piece of him, literally, so he found a hidden spot and crawled into the metal cocoon that would freeze his body and mind. It was the only way to survive the hunt. However, when he wakes up, he finds he's been asleep for three centuries. While the world's different, his enemies are not. He's got no choice but to travel the world to avoid trouble and search for peace.

But peace is hard to find when you take a bubbly [Chef] as your apprentice, have the vengeful widow of the long-dead Demon King as your enemy, and have a bunch of Hunters and Gods on your tail.

While Nomad is tired of living, he's not ready to die just yet. He has to find a way to break his curse, or at least protect his shard from falling into the wrong hands.

Avery Romarich thrust the sacred sword Lerasil into the heart of the Legendary Demon Dragon, Jommon. He ended the long war between humans and the Demon Kingdom of Azzaroth, which had lasted 100 years.

After a string of murders across the multiverse, an unfortunate kid finds themselves at the end result of the killings. Killed themself, they awaken only to find their body changed, and glitching. And that, in itself, is far from the worse of it. The voices of everyone who were murdered are inside their mind, talking. Their memories are messing with theirs. And, to top it off, their body is in constant pain.

Now, questioning their existence, being reasonably insane, suffering from a severe case of psychosis, and with a thirst for revenge and hope for a cure, they decide that the only way to get both is to go out into the multiverse themselves. Only...that might be easier said than done. Not that they can't do it, but mainly because they're a danger to everyone around them. They are a being in constant pain, hearing tons of unknown voices talking at once, and not knowing what is real and what isn't... and a child doesn't know how to "hold back".

[The Horror Genre doesn't mean that this is a horror story. There are just themes of horror. For the Evil Protagonist, yes, they will do stuff that, to others, are evil and even monstrous. However, they don't act evil nor are they evil truly. The Genderless Tag is true as, despite sounding like a little girl, they cannot be discerned as male nor female, and it will stay that way for a long while. Finally, there might or might not be any romance] <<less
