*** My health has been very poor this year alongside loosing my mother-in-law and cat so I'm sorry but this will be rewritten and finished when I'm well, I'm doing it all offline in my rare creative moments, hopefully with a more mature touch *** [WARNING: Mature Themes (smut, violence, murder, suicide, domestic violence, etc.)] --------- Waking up naked and alone with a murderer, without a single memory, she relies on System to understand her existence in another person's body. --------- Still don't know if you should read me? Here's a quick breakdown to help you make up your mind if this novel is right for you: This is my own twist on the QuickTransmigration System genre, giving it a more 'spiritual' twist. It explores sensitive themes throughout each arc and I will do my best to give trigger warnings at the start of chapters containing them. It is written in the first person and revolves around a female lead (FL). This is a weak-to-strong novel, she will have heavy flaws and make repeated mistakes and seem generally weak at the start, bear with her as she grows. Romance is a heavy theme within the story that contains a lot of smut, with more than one character. However, there is only one male lead in the end. The story is less about fluffy romance, instead, it's a journey of growth and self-discovery, revolving around the main storyline. Although, each Arc will have its own separate storyline that will have an impact on the main storyline with both new and reoccurring characters (so skipping arcs is not advised). I have currently written the rough drafts for four arcs at the point of writing this: 1. Ghosts & Guns 2. How do you keep a child alive in the Zombie Apocalypse? 3. Abducted by Aliens 4. Freed by the Fae Folk 5. .... --------- --------- Cover Art made by myself, using nightcafe AI Art, check out my page, I'm attempting to make novel art and character art for each arc: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/u/Raychbunni

The Names... RIYURA SHIKO! - 名前は…リユラ・シコ!

The Names... RIYURA SHIKO! - 名前は…リユラ・シコ!

Some people perform joy so completely that nobody notices they’re drowning until the water is already over their head—and Riyura Shiko has turned that performance into an art form. Fifteen years old, purple-haired, red bow-tied, and explosively cheerful in the specific way of someone who learned early that being cheerful was safer than being honest, Riyura arrives at Jeremy High not as a normal transfer student—but as a walking thunderclap in a school uniform. Officially, he’s there for a “fresh start” after an incident involving pudding, a ferret, and one tragically heroic trampoline. Unofficially, he’s there because wherever Riyura goes, normality quietly packs its bags and leaves. Jeremy High is no ordinary school. Founded in 1876 under impossible circumstances—three suicidal teenagers, letters from a descendant who wouldn’t exist for a century, and a foundation built as much on suffering as it is on survival—it attracts the broken, the chaotic, and the unexplainable. Riyura fits in immediately… and completely disrupts everything anyway. From shouting greetings at trees to challenging athletes to dribble pineapples, from staging lunchtime operas about dumplings to turning every hallway into a stage, he floods the school with a kind of absurd, relentless energy that feels almost supernatural on its own. But beneath the chaos is something quieter. Something fragile. Because Riyura isn’t just trying to be seen—he’s trying not to disappear. Over the next four years, what unfolds is everything. Not just the ridiculous, high-energy nonsense of flying fruit and social disasters, but corruption networks, government conspiracies, psychic abilities tied to Edo-period bloodlines, time manipulation, preserved souls, and a brother who dies… and comes back? Government agents become allies. Truths unravel. The very sanctuary that saved them reveals the cost of its existence. And still—beneath all of that—the people matter most. Yakamira, sharp and analytical, alive against all odds. Miyaka, opening her pencil case every morning as an act of quiet defiance. Subarashī, scars catching the light as he declares himself to the world. Jisatsu, holding steady, fourteen months without a crisis. Pan, baking at 4 AM not because he has to—but because he chooses to. None of them are whole. All of them are trying. And together, they form something stubborn and unbreakable: a family built not from perfection, but from the refusal to let each other drown alone. Then comes graduation. Osaka. Cherry University. Cherry blossom seasons that feel too soft for everything they’ve survived. And the slow, difficult realization that surviving and living are entirely different skills. And many more characters in the main stage at that as per-usual. Riyura Shiko isn’t just the loudest person in the room. He’s the one most afraid of silence. His absurdity isn’t there to make you laugh—it’s there to overwhelm you, to push past the limits of what “normal” even means, to prove that being alive isn’t about fitting in, but about refusing to disappear. The humor isn’t clean, or even traditionally funny—it’s chaotic, excessive, and sometimes deliberately irritating. Because this story doesn’t aim to be funny. It aims to feel. Loudly. Uncomfortably. Honestly. This is the complete story of Riyura Shiko. From a teenager hiding behind a crooked bow tie and a perfectly rehearsed smile… to someone who slowly, painfully learns what genuine laughter actually feels like. From impossible walls to open skies. It costs something. It leaves something behind. Neither cancels the other out. THE NAMES… RIYURA SHIKO! - RATED MA26+. Still here. That’s always been enough. Because this series has the worst humor you could ever wish for. >;)

The Origin and Meaning of Japanese Names

In ancient Japan, names were the privilege of the nobles. Commoners only had names and not surnames. In the ancient ruling class, the surname and surname first appeared. The surname was a political organization, and the surname was named according to the position of the clan in the imperial court or the place where they lived or governed. For example, the Kibe clan was named after the Kibe department in charge of sacrifice, while the Izumo clan and the Ohmi clan were related to the place they ruled. Surnames were titles given to the surname, indicating social and political status. They were similar to titles and hereditary. Each surname had a clear hierarchy, such as Chen, Lian, Jun, Zhi, etc. In the 9th and 10th centuries, the Miao character also appeared. The Miao character was a new surname after a family separated from the main clan. An ancient noble's name was like "Fujiwara Kujo Kaneshi". Fujiwara was the surname, Kujo was the Miao character, and Kaneshi was the given name. Later, the surname, surname, and Miao characters gradually merged into the modern surname. The emperor and his family were special. In history, emperors did not have surnames, only names, because they were considered descendants of gods and had supreme power. The empress and her children also did not have surnames. After the daughter married, she could take her husband's surname. Before the Meiji Restoration, commoners had no surnames. After the Meiji Restoration, there were conscription, taxation, household registration, etc. In 1870, Emperor Meiji issued the "Decree on the Allow of the Miao Character of the Commoners", but there were few responses. In 1875, he issued the "Decree on the Must Call the Miao Character of the Commoners" to force the citizens to have surnames, and the commoners began to take surnames. The commoners were not highly educated. Most of them took their surnames from the place names near their homes (such as the pine tree called Matsushita, the mountain near their homes called Shankou, the river near their homes called Watanabe, etc.), the meaning (such as longevity, millennium, Asahi, pine and bamboo, etc.), religious beliefs (believing in Bodhisattva, believing in Buddha's surname Sakyamuni, etc.), and even casually fabricated surnames (such as pig's nose, pig's feet, ox's tail, ox's intestines, etc.). Modern Japanese names were made up of surnames and given names, with surnames in front and given names behind. There were about 120,000 surnames, and about 80% of them originated from place names. Surnames were generally composed of 1 - 5 words, and most of them were two-word surnames. Names usually had special meanings, such as "pine, crane, turtle" representing longevity,"pig, bear, tiger" representing bravery, and so on. The pronunciation of a name could be read by the pronunciation, the pronunciation, and the pronunciation mixed with the pronunciation. To avoid mispronunciations, Japanese people often used a pseudonym to note the pronunciation on business cards.
