The Republic of Arisaka stands tall as the most powerful nation in the entire world. However, even this almighty superpower state of extraordinary metahumans and mages have struggled with an ancient conflict, one that has raged on for millennia—the war between humans, demons, and all sorts of supernatural beings in between. ... more>>

Hero Dimalanta is a young man that has taken up arms, working as a metahuman bounty hunter against such flesh-eating monsters ever since his early adolescence. He desires to one day fulfill his legendary namesake as Hero, even if it’s just being the Hero for the cute girl that he loves. Unfortunately, his life appears to be in a constant downward spiral of depression due to his past trauma and tragedies, as well as his current troubles and tribulations. 

On what was meant to be just a normal bounty job, Hero is nearly killed by the same demon that he was meant to hunt down, but an unexpected turn of events occurs before he meets his demise. The young Arisakan man has a fateful encounter with a compassionate angel girl, and is given an opportunity to finally achieve his dreams by this celestial beauty known as Violet Tsubasa—the chance to be the Hero, and perhaps to finally even be with his perfect dream girl, a literal angel goddess of the heavens.

Amazon Link (Complete book available to purchase!): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTQRKZ29

(The first part of this might be a bit redundant but I’ll keep it anyway)
Note: The complete version of Arisaka: Celestial Violet, is now available to purchase ONLY on Amazon by me, Mikan Citrus. Yes, I have already finished writing the book, and have published it through KDP after extensive editing, proofreading, and critical feedback from beta readers. If you do see my story for sale on any other platform than Amazon, it has either been stolen or is fake, as I will only be publishing my complete works on Amazon. This also applies for my other works, such as my side stories and short fiction, since for now I will ONLY be posting on Scribble Hub.

Schedule: The specifics are still under consideration by me, but I will be posting at least once a week, although I am leaning toward multiple times a week. Of course, if you don’t want to wait and would prefer to enjoy the entire book already, you can purchase a copy of Arisaka: Celestial Violet on Amazon right now. I won’t be posting every single part of my book outside of Amazon anyway, so expect about 30% or so of my book to be posted here as a sample—the total word count of Arisaka: Celestial Violet is over 122k words. <<less

Somewhere on the Endless Sea.... more>>

The Border Mist materialized abruptly, shrouding the once calm and grey expanse of the sea. The impenetrable veil of white mist lingered persistently, its undulations akin to a living organism, before eventually receding and vanishing, erasing its existence entirely. In the space that had been occupied solely by the sea's surface, an island emerged, boasting a serene town and a grandiose gothic palace that appeared to cast a watchful gaze upon the city.

As the mist traversed the streets, it gradually unveiled the picturesque Victorian-style city. Dim street lamps cast a faint glow upon the cobblestones, revealing numerous statues of varied sizes, shapes, and race. These statues all shared a common trait—they were oriented toward the Gothic palace.

Within the opulent throne room stood a resplendent seat of power. Positioned before the throne were additional statues, all bowing in deference to the statue of the Ruler seated upon it. Draped in a cloak, the Ruler exuded an eerie and oppressive aura, even in statue form. Silence permeated the room; no motion, life, or breath stirred.

Unexpectedly, the eyes of the Ruler's statue ignited with cerulean flames.

'Ah... what... what's...' Caila pondered as her vision cleared, the memory of darkness faintly lingering.

Surveying the hushed hall, she beheld eerie statues bent in obeisance. 'What happened? Ugh... why... why can't I move?' Caila found herself immobilized; only her eyes retained mobility. She strained her gaze downward, catching a glimpse of her hands resting on the throne's armrests. 'Am I a statue? Wha... what? No! Help! Someone, save me!' Internally, she shrieked in panic, met only by an overwhelming silence. <<less
