It was a treacherous 13 days that followed me... I felt it was Nobunaga himself chasing me, like a hound from hell. My "demise" is why I'm called the "Thirteen-day Shogun", and also why 13 is an unlucky number. It's not the "Devil's" number. It's the Demon King's. Didn't know it came from Japan, did you? I'm assuming not.

I apologize for my lack of elegance in my speech. It's the adaptation to this new world, this new country, this new time. There are no more thrones in this brand-new age. Ther… Continue

It all began back in the late 1500s near the temple 'Honno-Ji', in Kyoto. I remained under the identity of Akechi Mitsuhide, one of Oda Nobunaga's famed generals. I was soon to be known as "traitor" of Oda Nobunaga, due to his crimes against the people. That's a whole seperate story, as it would take a whole book to write about Oda Nobunaga's destructive history, even actions that he did which weren't annaled in history. He attempted to throw the beautiful land of Japan into Chaos. I had to be t… Continue

PART 1: The Beginning of the End

I've lived 427 years...
Technically, 426, but who's counting?

Actually, I was born again in 1992, but I was actually alive in 1582, in a whole different country. Japan, to be exact. Now I know what you're thinking: "Is this some other wanna-be ninja-samurai nerd? Some Anime freak?" No, actually, I've never been a big fan of T.V. You're probably also thinking "If you're Japanese, why do you speak English?" Well, I had a few hundred years to learn, you think I ca… Continue

*This is a character I really wanted to make a story about, so hope you like it*

"Listen here children, and hear me sing
about the beautiful tale of the Crimson King"
-The Benevolent Bard, Ryu Shusui

Nysos sat there, on his divine throne, watching the corrupt Earth he once ruled over. He watched with contempt at how his former servants treated the once-beautiful Utopia. His demonic, crimson eyes flashed with hatred for the humans, those who claimed that they were the dominant species of the on… Continue

Hmmm... Weather's too cold to start a fire. This is why I wish I was an atmomagus*note will explain on bottom of page*... I would control the clouds, brush winds away, even create a hurricane. I'll freeze at this rate, and the mission will be a complete failure if my hands freeze. Without my hands, I won't be able to complete the charms, and without charms, I won't be able to destroy the damn directly northeast of the enemy camp... We need that flood.

Gilliam will be furious if he can't take th… Continue
