Fifty years after the cataclysmic Second Jewel War, the Land of Spade has flourished under the legacy of Kaipo Kasumi, its once-fractured realms now united in an era of peace. But peace is a double-edged sword, for in the shadows of tranquility, a new and insidious evil stirs—one that threatens to unravel everything the heroes of old fought for. As dark forces emerge from the cracks of a fragile peace, the next generation of mages must rise to confront an adversary unlike any before. Will they uphold the legacy of their predecessors, or will the weight of history crush them? The fate of five universes rests in their hands, and their journey will test not only their power but the very essence of who they are.PS: If you haven't read previous series of The Land of Spade, it's totally fine!

Death in Cold Wateris a literary crime novel set in the shadowy corners of New York’s artistic and intellectual circles. It blends the mood of noir with the quiet melancholy of forgotten words and abandoned truths. It’s not just about who pulled the trigger — but why silence can be deadlier than a gunshot.

If you enjoy stories that unravel slowly, that whisper instead of shout, and that treat every detail like a clue — then I hope this journey resonates with you.

"Ring! Ring!""I'm coming!" Who is here at this hour?He pondered. He got out of bed at 9 PM and walked over to the doorbell camera. "What?" On the other side was a beautiful Japanese woman.She had beautiful white skin, with beautiful black eyes and beautiful black hair with red stripes on both sides of her head. She looked so serious, yet she had such a blissful and excited aura of hers. She stood almost as if all of her gears in a machine were running all at once trying not to go too fast and fly out.As he opened the door, she outstretched her hand through the small slit in between the door and the door frame.As the door opened fully, she held out her hand expecting a handshake and said,"こんにちは。" (Hello.)"What!?"He was so confused, and his brain was as empty as his stomach. Just as he attempted to outstretch his arm, he slightly tilted forwards before falling backwards and passing out in front of this random Japanese woman."はぁ？！" (Huh?!)She said before she rushed to his side and caught him before his head smashed against the wooden floor.________________________________________________________________________「リン！リン！」

"I'm coming!" (今行くよ！)こんな時間に誰だろう？彼は考えた。午後9時にベッドから起きて、玄関のドアベルカメラのところへ向かった。

"What?" (えっ？) 反対側には、美しい日本人女性が立っていた。

彼女は美しい白い肌をしており、美しい黒い瞳と、頭の両側に赤いラインが入った美しい黒髪を持っていた。とても真剣な表情をしていたが、どこか幸せでワクワクしたオーラを放っていた。まるで、すべての歯車が同時に動きながらも、暴走しないように必死で制御されているかのように立っていた。

彼がドアを開けると、彼女はドアと枠の隙間から手を差し出してきた。

ドアが完全に開くと、彼女は握手を求めるように手を差し出しながら言った。

「こんにちは。」

"What!?"(えっ！？)

彼はとても混乱し、頭の中は空っぽ、まるで空腹の胃のようだった。手を差し出そうとしたその瞬間、体が少し前に傾き、そのまま後ろへ倒れて気を失ってしまった。目の前の見知らぬ日本人女性の前で。

「はぁ？！」彼女は叫んで、すぐに彼の元へ駆け寄り、彼の頭が木の床に打ちつけられる前に抱きとめた。

Sacrifice for the sake of duty was a concept that Onegama Yuna, beloved Princess of Seiiki Kingdom, understood well. And the highest price she'd pay would come from securing protection against slaver raids that terrorized her people-Agreeing to marry the 2nd son of the Charlotte Family, a man she knew nothing about. Slow burn. Slight canon divergence after WCI arc.

A random idea pops into my head.

What if there was a world where instead of elemental powers being air, water, fire and earth, it was hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium and so on?

So I decided to make it happen. Welp, enjoy.

I'm finally back for the last time. Thank You, Lord!

Inheriting a dilapidated ancestral manor, the protagonist discovers it to be an inn exclusively for "lost yokai." Each chapter unveils the tale of a unique spirit – a forgotten river deity, a land god whose incense has faded – while the main narrative interweaves the burgeoning conflicts between humanity and the non-human realm.
