Angela Carter recently published a bestseller, “The Dragon’s Heart”. Many people love her book and many people have read it. But one day something…. unexpected happens… A character from her book shows up begging for her help. What can Angela do? Perhaps with the help of magic from within her book she can live out her own story......

This story has no meaning, it has no plot. It's just here to be experienced, and interpreted as you wish to.

Based on a dream I had a long time ago. This is dedicated to anyone who likes quiet, existential horror

Masashi Kishimoto's manga series "Naruto" follows Naruto Uzumaki's journey to become a respected ninja. The manga was adapted into an anime series (2002-2007) and dubbed in English (2005-2009). This book analyzes each episode of the anime series, from Season 1 to Season 5, going beyond a simple summary.

I started out writing poetry as almost exclusively sonnets. The Shakespearean and Italian sonnet forms are still my very favorite. But over the past decade or so I have written and published a lot of haikus. I like the constraint of a specific form (primarily the 5-7-5 syllable format per line), but also the ability to say a lot in very few words. I alo like to use linked haikus to create longer works. Here, I will post some new and older haikus that may be new or previously published online or in my two books of poems. I'll try to post here fairly regularly for awhile if readers read and enjoy them, so if you also like the haiku form, please check in from time to time. And thanks for viewing my simple musings.

This is going to suck I’m not good at poetry 😁.

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.

"This is going to hurt," said the red kitsune as she placed her hands on her daughter's shoulders. Do you really want to do this?"

Naked and wrestling with her feelings, Emma gave a stiff nod.

Hurry up!" she whispered, kneeling down. "You better do it before I fall in love with him."

Having lost her powers and experiencing a curse that controls her life, Emma has no choice but to accept her fate. As a result of her complete dependence on Jake, she navigates this new phase of her life with him by her side.

In the end, she truly fulfills her promises and finds who is responsible for the death of Osana. However, it is someone none of them had anticipated.

For centuries, cousins Idiaand Uwahave lived quietly in Andradia, training as apprentices of Efe, the Sun Tree, under the watchful eye of their great-grandmother. Though their days are simple, they dream of exploring the wider world together.

When strange anomalies appear within the tree’s convergence point, they are sent to investigate with the other Conduit apprentices at the Temple of Aramathi. What begins as a short journey soon becomes a perilous odyssey.

As the world begins to unravel, the apprentices find themselves hunted by unknown factions, pursued by awakened beasts, and drawn into a mystery older than any of them could have imagined—one that threatens not only the trees, but the very fate of Eldoria itself.

Вот три варианта перевода в стиле "ранобэ" с сохранением динамики и игровой эстетики:

Вариант 1:

"Тестер игр + симулятор стратегий = билет в межмировой капкан! Эссенция бессмертных и магия элементов сталкиваются у Сумеречной Крепости — утраиваем скорость эволюции духовных зверей, ковам доспехи из материалов двух миров! Кровавый дебют у Лунного Озера обратил Школу Кровавого Зла в бегство. Эльфийская принцесса с древними секретами переходит на его сторону, пробужденный Сянлю шипит из глубин... Когда Патриарх Кровавого Зла и Повелитель Бездны блокируют врата, Лу Фэн усмехается: «Законы миров? Всего лишь ступеньки для моего марша духов! Эта победа — лишь ключ к ТРЕТЬЕЙ ТРЕЩИНЕ!»"

Вариант 2:

"1 час в день × 3-кратная скорость симуляции = самый дерзкий укротитель двух миров! Духовные звери пожирают элементальные ядра, обретая магические даньтяни; латники в защитных талисманах рубят культистов Кровавого Зла как капусту! От триумфа у Лунного Озера до межмировой торговой империи — Сумеречная Крепость растет... Пока пробужденный Сянлю не разрывает заговор Патриарха, но в финальной битве Лу Фэн находит обломок стелы, не принадлежащей ни одному из миров. Его «Марш духов» только НА ПОЛПУТИ!"

Вариант 3:

"Старт симулятора — и судьба Лу Фэна больше не принадлежит ни Небожителям, ни Лордам! Используя разницу во времени (1:30), он создает «Искусство укрощения душ» и гибридную армию, поглощающую оба вида энергии! Школа Кровавого Зла хочет захватить портал? Сначала пройдите Лунное Озеро! Эльфийская принцесса пророчит гибель? Он строит Сумеречную Крепость — мост между мирами! Когда клинок Повелителя Бездны касается его шеи, он смеется: «Этот странный аромат... Разве не пропуск в ТРЕТИЙ МИР, которого я ждал?»"

가이드 1:

"게임 테스터가 추론 시뮬레이터와 연결되자, 그는 양계의 틈새 세계로 빨려 들어갔다! 선계의 영기와 영주 세계의 원소가 황혼 요새에서 충돌한다. 3배속으로 영수 진화를 추론하고, 양계 재료로 혼수 갑옷을 제작하라. 첫 전투인 달빛 호수에서 혼성 부대가 혈사문을 무너뜨린다! 정령 공주가 고대 비밀을 안고 투항하고, 잠든 홍룡 상류가 울부짖는다. 혈사 노조와 심연 영주의 연합이 문을 막아설 때... 육풍은 시뮬레이터를 어루만며 비웃는다: '양계의 법칙? 내 만령 정복의 디딤돌일 뿐. 이 승리? 이제 겨우 제3계의 틈을 열 정도다!'"

가이드 2:

"매일 1시간 3배속 추론으로 그는 양계 최강의 소환사가 되었다! 선계의 영수가 영주 세계의 원소 결정을 삼키자 마법을 쓰는 요단수가 되고, 영주의 중갑병이 선계의 호심부적을 두르자 혈사문 사수를 베어 넘기듯 무찌른다! 달빛 호수 전투에서 위용을 떨치고, 양계 무역단으로 부를 축적하며 황혼 요새는 점점 커져만 간다. 상류를 깨우고 혈사 노조의 음모를 무너뜨렸지만, 시공 균열에서 발견한 반쪽 비석... 이 만령 정복은 이제 절반도 못 왔다!"

가이드 3:

"추론 시뮬레이터가 작동하는 순간, 육풍의 운명은 더 이상 양계에 속하지 않았다! 선계 1일은 영주 세계 30일, 그는 이 시간차를 이용해 3배속으로 '혼령결'을 개발하고 영수와 대화하며 영기와 원소를 모두 먹는 혼성 군단을 만든다. 혈사문이 양계 통로를 노린다? 달빛 호수에서 막아내라! 정령 공주가 '양계가 멸망한다'고 경고하자 그는 오히려 황혼 요새를 양계의 중심으로 만든다. 심연 영주의 칼이 목에 닿았을 때, 그는 웃었다. 그 갑작스러운 신비한 기운... 바로 그가 온 책을 기다린 제3계의 초대장이 아니겠는가?"
