A Time Traveller's Guide to Feudal Japan

A Time Traveller's Guide to Feudal Japan

Do people chase greatness, or does greatness chase us? A.I. genius, Gengyo, through the assistance of SAPPHIRE attains the means to time travel. He seeks a simpler life, and wishes to experience the warmth of a family. But often we do not get what we want, we get what we deserve. And his peaceful times soon end, as war storms Japan, and in order to protect his peace, he must conquer. Join Gengyo as he walks a blood-stained path toward absolute domination, seizing control of Japan. //Brief extract from one of the battle scenes. Written from the point of view of a samurai landowner, Niwa Nakatane. The hooves grew closer to Nakatane's position and their beating hearts grew faster. Perhaps they could simply remain like that, hiding behind the tree, and allow these barbarians to pass? That way could they not return home to their families? Could they not give their dear wives one final kiss, or share one final story with their enthusiastic youth? Nakatane knew exactly what they were thinking. And as the ground rumbled, and the mounted beasts howled, he was the first man to step out from the trees and make his stand. "OORAH!" Possessed by a furious energy, he thrust out with all the aggression of a war god, puncturing Ochi's stallion through the chest with the sharpened wooden point of his lengthy spear. The mammoth fell from his mount clumsily, his head colliding with a nearby tree root. He ceased to move, and a pool of blood began to form around him. "ARM THESE SPEARS MEN! VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!" He stood in front of the charge of over 150 horsemen, alone. But he did not give a single inch of ground. He met the charge of the next man in line, roaring vengefully, possessed by all the rage and power that had accumulated in his body over these past years. The horsemen shrieked like a pack of hyenas, fanning out, each eager for a piece of the man who had brought down their leader. //I did not create the book cover.

In Japan, there could be a story where a digital camera was found in an old attic. When the finder started using it, the camera seemed to have a mind of its own. It would turn on and off randomly, and the pictures it took were all distorted. The images were a jumbled mess of colors and shapes, but sometimes, if you looked closely, you could make out a face. A very scary, pale face that seemed to be in pain. It was as if the camera was capturing the spirit of someone who had a very bad experience in the attic long ago.

Many Japanese ghost stories have their roots in Japanese folklore and superstitions. For example, the Yuki - Onna might have originated from the fear of the harsh winter and the mysteries of the snow - covered mountains. The idea of vengeful spirits like Okiku comes from the belief in karma and the idea that wrongdoings will be punished. People who were wronged in life could come back as ghosts to seek revenge.

The settings of Japanese scary stories are also quite characteristic. Many are set in ordinary but somewhat isolated places like old houses, abandoned schools, or deep in the forest. These familiar yet eerie settings make the stories more relatable and thus scarier. For instance, an old, dilapidated shrine in the middle of a forest can be a perfect backdrop for a spooky encounter with a vengeful spirit.
