This is my latest volume of short stories and poems. Most of the stories in here relate to the main storyline I've been working on, but some of these stories stand alone. My themes fall into the horror genre. Rather than being the traditional style of horror often seen in movies, my horror reflects the true capacity of human nature.

Bruno traveled to another world and obtained the wonder construction system. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon is used to grow vegetables, The Colosseum of Rome is used to play football, The Lighthouse of Alexandriae starts the prelude to the era of great navigation, The Ruhr factory announced the beginning of the industrial revolution, actually…… I’m just an ordinary creator of spectacles. … [Like always I am not the creator of this novel just a translator that like this novel all credit goes to the original creator (陛下，奇观误国啊) this is the original title]

A myth woven with dreams, sacrifice, and a love that defies even the gods. Long ago, in the divine realm where spirits dance among stars and the breath of gods shapes worlds, two ancient beings found each other—not through power or purpose, but through love. Zenko, the majestic nine-tailed fox, was no ordinary kitsune. Feared and revered, he was a guardian spirit with eyes like silver storms and a heart hidden beneath layers of cold mystery. Only one soul could see through his mask—Shirayume, the Baku, a gentle and pure dream-eater whose presence was as serene as moonlight over snow. She was the whisper of peace in a chaotic world, and he was her eternal flame. Together, they were complete. But even in the heavens, love can become a curse. Zenko’s love, deep and wild, turned desperate. He sought to protect Shirayume from every danger, even those not yet written by fate. His possessiveness clouded judgment, and in his reckless defiance of celestial law, the gods passed judgment. Stripped of power and memory, Zenko was cast down to the mortal world—reborn as a human, unaware of the spirit he once was, but burdened by an aching emptiness he couldn’t explain. Shirayume, devastated by the cruel separation, made her own sacrifice. Forsaking her divinity, she too chose reincarnation—her only wish: to find him again, even if neither remembered who they once were. Centuries passed. In modern-day Japan, two strangers brush past one another on a busy road. He is haunted by fragments of forgotten dreams—faces in the mist, a name that slips away each time he wakes. She feels an echo in her soul every time he is near. Something ancient stirs. Something inevitable. As dreams begin to bleed into waking life, they are drawn together by an invisible thread. And as they begin to uncover the mystery of who they are and what they once meant to each other, forces beyond their control begin to move. Not all spirits want their love to return. Some secrets are better left buried. Yet destiny does not forget. In a world where past lives clash with present choices, Eternal Threads: Shirayume and the Kitsune is a haunting tale of reincarnation, divine punishment, pure devotion, and a love that spans eternity. Would you like a teaser or quote-style trailer version, like those you’d see at the start of a light novel volume or anime episode? Will fate bring their souls back together? Can a forgotten love endure across time, punishment, and rebirth? Or will the weight of their past lives keep them forever apart? A story of love’s purity and madness, of sacrifice and longing, Eternal Threads: Shirayume and the Kitsune is a heart-wrenching mythological romance where destiny patiently waits for love to awaken again.

A young boy named Arthur and his sister Athena fight in a holy war in order to obtain the wish of the divine deity. Throughout the cruel and obsessive journey they find allies and enemies who all have an obsessive desire to change their current circumstances.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
