    Summary

    This is a work of what I call "speculative mythology." It's the shared, continuous stories of a highly eusocial people, and the many names that have emerged across the telling and retelling, translating and re-translating of these tales across many generations. It's bug lore, ant mythology, spec myth, a love letter to a people who never existed. There's Skith, who climbed. Akti, who ran. The two-tandem of Sett and Tattik. Rika, who went downward, and who dueled in the Serpent-Tunnel. The Small Colony, the Four Tree Colony, the tumult of Our Mound where no Queen lives, and the great labors of the Gods Inside.

    Summary

    Wooyoung, deity of yarrow flowers, gets promoted unexpectedly to the god of seasons after the major gods wiped themselves out in the Last War. But the responsibility other minor deities seem to take over so easily feels more like a burden to him. So when the chance presents itself to escape to the underworld, he takes it without looking back - and without thinking about the consequences.

    The god of the dead, San, turns out to be as lonely as Wooyoung, so any company is welcome to him. Especially that of a pretty flower wandering his halls, refusing to be controlled without making San work for it. And work he does.

    Summary

    In Yokohama, where magic and reality intertwine, two thrones await.

    Ume is a thousand years old, appears eighteen, and has survived eight hundred misfortunes. She was a princess. Now she's the girl with the raucous laugh who spits when something displeases her and doesn't pretend to be someone she's not. But beneath the chaos beats a thirst for justice so fierce that when her loved ones are harmed, it awakens something they could never break.

    He is Akutagawa. King of Shadows. Indifferent to the world… except when it comes to her. For Ume, he would move heaven and earth, and he never forgives those who wronged her.

    She claims the throne of light. He rules the throne of shadows. Together, they are the only force that neither time nor misfortune can defeat.

    What are they willing to destroy to protect themselves? Everything.

    Summary

    This is the lore and history for an original mythos of monster people that I am working on. There are maps, author's notes in the beginning, and a whole textbook worth of fictional history covering the creation of the world, the gods that inhabit it, the wars the people fought, the various monsterkind that inhabit it, and how it eventually comes into contact with Earth (because of course it has to), and lots of other things! It takes inspiration from a lot of different folklores and media, so click and check it out!

    Note: Lore doc is finished, so this story is going to be updated every four days or so until it's done.

    Latest World News: Gulfarin experiences an explosion in biodiversity as new species fill the empty ocean. Adja and Nile founds itself as new Gulfarin regions in 1297 A.R. and 1088 A.R. respectively, becoming allies against Metacarona.

    Summary

    He wrote of beauty impossible to look at directly.

    Of dark eyes deep as trenches where sunlight died. Of hair silvered like moonlight over water. Of a youth so lovely even gods bent their attention toward him.

    And his heart had already turned toward a mortal.

    A man who came to the sea each dawn with ink on his fingers and salt on his mouth. A man who wrote stories in the wet sand only for the tide to steal them.

    Jay’s hand stilled.

    He stared at the sentence.

    Then laughed softly, uneasily, and crossed none of it out.

    Summary

    The world is teetering on the brink. Almost nobody understands how bad it is.

    Izuku does, though. He can feel it, brushing along his skin. Dancing on his fingertips when he touches maps, whispering to him about the danger his class is soon to face. Dangers they are not prepared for--cannot prepare for, because nobody else knows how. He can feel it, singing to him from the sea; a warning of a warning, of fear and despair in the air. Ghosts of the past, specters of the present, and monsters of the future, all laying in wait for the stars to align. For Japan to give up on what is true and what is good.

    The tides of war are low, but they will rise once again. The foundations of Japan have fallen to age and disrepair. The earth is stained in the blood of the innocent, enough to whet Their appetite. Time is short, and soon all will be drowned by those who chose the absence of all that is good.

    The world does not need another All Might. What it gets, it may not be able to handle. Either way, Deku will make Gran Torino proud. All Might, not so much.

    The King in Yellow takes to the stage; it is time to see who dances to the tune of his storm.
