Faith is like ice-cream. It comes in all flavors. Greek, Norse, Sumerian, Christian — just name it and it's there. Adventures, on the other hand, are like credit cards. The first taste is free, but the price only goes up from there. Family heirlooms, now those are true evil. You get burdened with them for sentimental reasons, even if they’re icky. 

For Lukas Aguilar, it was a pendant. A small, weird metal nib that, while irritating, seemed harmless. Such convictions are put to test when a ruined goddess stretches her hands from beyond the Sands of Time and grasps his fate, blurring the line between fact and fiction. Now torn away from his former life on Earth, Lukas finds himself trapped in an underground cavern with no escape in sight and hundreds of questions.

In a world where vicious monsters stand in the way of answers, where even the smallest of insects see him as prey, the road most traveled is one littered with corpses.

A devout Christian soldier of the US dies after a battle due to fatal wounds he received. After his death, he is then reincarnated in the Marvel world as James Howlett, aka the Wolverine

"I remember the first time we had sex. How you asked me if we'd ever get the chance. You said you'd tell me your "number" As if that'd be enough to convince me, enough satisfaction to dismiss my only promise to myself by being one of 64 to know. How honored. You said "how 'bout just the tip" And "all you have to say is stop" But I never said GO or stopped saying NO. How funny. I remember how you pinned me down And propped my legs in front of you so I couldn't move. How "just the tip" became a painful push And how afraid I was to push away. How romantic. I remember saying how uncomfortable I was and yelling STOP, and how when it was over you were happy. You seemed so proud and I was shocked by what you said… "Does this mean you buy me lunch tomorrow?" I left feeling disgusted, violated and guilty. I convinced myself that losing my virginity was my fault when having sex shouldn't cause blame at all. How confusing. For several months you had convinced me that I gave consent and rape was impossible for people who're "together" and that sex was now okay but not just okay— Sex was an obligation. It's expected. And I shouldn't have been surprised when suddenly one day you were seeing someone else. I was a toy and you were selfish. How disgusting. Well, I hope you're happy, I mean who wouldn't be if they got away with what you did? And your 65th, I pray to God, won't feel like I did. By dazeofmyxlife. I am sorry I couldn't protect you. I love you. I am sorry I introduced you to bayo."
"What does she mean by she's sorry?" I ask myself.
That Bitch!
My parents would have lived a happy life if she didn't introduce them.
Why would she even think of doing that in the first place. It's very wrong. Why didn't she know the type of person Bayo was before she introduced him to her so-called friend!  
It's basically rubbish!
"So she's the one that started all this?" Christian asks and I nod in response.  
"We have to find her." I say and he nods. After hours of searching through the books in my room, we moved them incase mom comes back, Christian informs me that he found an address in her book 'Hades and heartbreak'.
Christian constructs a simple email that goes "Hi Amber! It's Sapphire and I forgive you for everything! Can we catch up tomorrow at ofada boy? The time will be 1pm if you agree.
After waiting for five minutes she responds. That was quick. Her response is "yes Sapphire I'd love that! See you tomorrow!"  
Christian leaves after a while and since my mom isn't going to be back anytime soon, I lock the door and head to my room.
After a restless night I meet Christian in front of Ofada boy and we head inside.  
I immediately sight Amber. She's really beautiful. Her dark curls and her chocolate skin. True definition of black elegance.
"Hi Miss Amber." I say as I walk up to her.
" Hi Sweetie, sorry but that seat is taken." She says and I smile  
"I was the one that emailed you. I'm Danielle, Sapphire's daughter." I say to her and her eyes widen in shock and the expression slowly turns to that of approval.
"And who is the man with you?" She asks with reference to Christian.
"I'm her partner." Christian says.
"Life Partner?" She asks with curiosity. Ugh this woman is so annoying.
"Yes." Christian and I respond at the same time.
"Can we sit down?"
"Oh sorry about that. Yes."
"Why did you introduce my mother to Bayo? How did he ruin her life?" I ask and she laughs nervously.
"No small talk? Geez. Bayo and I grew up together. He was like a brother to me. I met Sapphire in college and I felt that she should meet my brother but things didn't go as planned.".
"What do you mean?"
"Bayo did it."

Chapter 1
Becoming a Starter Level Author
by : 314 (Yang Chen)

Previously, in the general article on "Webnovel author levels' standards", I separated webnovel authors into five different levels. But actually, there's a hidden sixth level – total beginners that aren't even at starter level. This refers to complete newcomer authors that have zero experience and have never written a single word for a webnovel.

Still, not everyone needs beginner level guides, even if they're a pure newcomer. Of course, if you're an established author who has experience writing long novels, feel free to ignore this article and move on to the next one, regardless of whether or not your story was successful. Or, perhaps you've never written long novels, but have the natural talent to write as easily as you drink water. In that case, there's no need for you to read this beginner level article anymore.

In fact, there's even plenty of newcomer authors that feel like it's incredibly difficult for them to write a short, several hundred word long essay, or to write an end-of-year reflection. But, when such newcomer authors try writing webnovels for the first time, they find their minds clearing up, with the ability to write like they are possessed, with storyline flowing out from under their proverbial pens just like a stream of water. Newcomers like these naturally don't need to read a beginner level guide like this one, either.

Those who truly need to read this article are those who put their hands at writing webnovels, but find that their minds are empty or filled with mud the moment they open up their computer documents. Perhaps you're a newcomer author who tried thinking for an entire day but only managed to write a few hundred words that even you think is garbage.

In such a case, for newcomers like you, how should you improve your writing, and write your first thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand words? How do you take the first step in becoming a god of writing?

I personally believe that you can try the several following tips.

1: Adjust your mentality and create a precise writing goal for yourself.

Unlike most other jobs, success as a webnovel author doesn't always come step by step. Some sufficiently talented newcomer authors are completely capable of earning hundreds of thousands, or even millions, on their very first novel. A single novel can make an author into a master, or even a grandmaster. There are also veteran authors who have been stuck at a certain level for a long time who might one day have an epiphany and find a new writing style more suitable for him or herself, turning them into a master overnight.

However, the cruel reality is, no matter if it's a newcomer becoming a master overnight, or a veteran suddenly improving, there's one condition that's an absolutely necessary prerequisite—

The author needs to already have strong writing skills. This means that such a wonderful thing is unlikely to have anything to do with you who's reading this article, as you're not even at the beginner level.

For authors who aren't even at the starter level, there's only one goal that you should be setting for yourselves. That goal is to be able to naturally write a long novel. To be more specific, there's two major goals within this goal.

The first goal is to be able to imagine and finish a story that's approximately 500,000 words. Simply speaking, you have to be able to write long novels.

This is because the natural way how webnovels work makes it so that only a longer novel can bring greater benefits for the author. The novel's ranking, influence, and author's fame are all affected by the novel's length. To achieve a respectable degree in these areas, the novel will typically need to be at least 1.5 million words or longer.

Of course, from a professional standpoint, a story written for the sake of practice doesn't really need to have that many words in it. That's because in theory, an author who's capable of finishing a 500,000-word long novel has already learned the foundational writing skills necessary. As long as such an author has a complete outline for their story, writing two or three million words will no longer be so difficult.

The second goal is to be able to write approximately five thousand words every day. Simply speaking, you must be able to write quickly.

This is because there's a huge number of webnovels out there, giving you immense competition. Based on webnovel readers' typical reading habits, only stories that have consistent updates will be able to obtain and maintain popularity. For a super consistent release, the lowest requirement is to update at least two chapters per day.

One chapter might have an average of around 2500 words. At the very minimum, they should at least be longer than 1500 words. This is why, for a webnovel author to become successful, their writing speed must be at minimum three to five thousand words per day. When calculating this by months, this means that you need to write at least 45,000 to 75,000 words per month. This is the most basic requirement.

Those are all the prerequisite conditions for newcomer authors to develop into starter level webnovel authors. At this level, the quality of your writing isn't that important. Nor is the popularity of your novel important, either. Being able to write a long novel and write quickly are the two main goals that you as a newcomer author should strive for.

Something that should be noted is that at this level, you should pay more attention to improving your own ability, rather than worrying about your story. There are no tests for you, nor are there any grades. By the time you're in the middle of the story, if you notice that you're having an easy time writing and can easily write five thousand words per day, in addition to having a clear outline for your entire novel, then congratulations. This means that you're now a starter level webnovel author.

2: Choose an appropriate genre and topic.

With the development of webnovels, there's so many genres out there already – eastern fantasy, high fantasy, martial arts, xianxia, modern, mystical, historical, military, gaming, competitions, science fiction, fan fiction…

All these genres have their own specialties, and have different popularity factors and important things to keep in mind when writing. Also, they all have different degrees of difficulty when writing them. Still, what needs to be noted is that these different genres will have varying degrees of difficulty for different authors.

Perhaps one author will find it incredibly painful to write historical fiction, while writing a mystical story is fun and relaxing for him. Meanwhile, another author might find it incredibly easy to write historical fiction, while writing a modern day novel feels all sorts of awkward for her.

Obviously, for authors that are total beginners, you should choose the easiest type of story to write for you. But, what if you don't even know what genre you should be starting out in?

Allow me to recommend a few easy genres for newcomer authors.

1: Fan fiction

Fan fiction refers to using an already existing story's characters and setting as the basis to create new stories. This is a type of story modification.

For example, you could write a story and call it "Harry Potter and His Adventures". This story could be about how Harry Potter ended up with Hermione, or how he has multiple girlfriends. This is an example of a fan fiction about Harry Potter.

What needs to be noted is that in the large majority of situations, fan fiction authors don't actually have the copyright to their own stories. Even if you wrote every single word of your fan fiction novel by yourself, you still have zero right to use your novel for any commercial purposes.

But, even so, fan fiction is still one of the best choices for total beginner authors. The reason is that they are quite simple to write.

When writing fan fiction, you don't need to think about a complicated world background or any detailed settings. Nor do you need to create a large amount of characters. Even the fan fiction's story can be inspired from the original novel. All these things, especially creating the setting and characters, are what newcomers typically have the most trouble with.

Basically, writing fan fiction will greatly simplify the writing process, directly avoiding the most difficult part of all. Without a doubt, this is the easiest way for newcomer authors to get started.

As for what story to base your fan fiction on, it first needs to be a story that you as an author have already read and are familiar with. Also, it's best if it's a story you truly love, perhaps even reading it several times over. This is the basic requirement for writing fan fiction.

On top of all that, I would recommend choosing to write fan fiction about a story whose copyright has already expired, such as "Romeo and Juliet" or "Don Quixote" and so on. Or, it would be best if you could somehow obtain permission directly from the author of the work that you intend to write fan fiction about.

Of course, even if you have no way to contact the author or obtain their permission, it's still fine to write fan fiction. This just means that you can only write for free, without earning any profits, and also respect the original author of the work. After all, for newcomer level authors like you, learning and improving your writing is the most important part. Since your novels are unlikely to be commercially viable at this stage, it's not all that important even if you write a fan fiction novel that you're not allowed to profit from.

2. Modern novels

This genre refers to novels that take place in a modern day urban setting. The city background is typically where the author has lived and is familiar with.

Compared with fan fiction, modern novels have the added difficulty of having to create your own characters. Still, it does decrease the amount of trouble you have to go to in creating a setting. Not only that, when writing character introductions, you can save a lot of effort in having to explain a lot of common knowledge, such as what a character's job entails, or their social status. Saving all this effort is quite precious for newcomers.

And compared to fan fiction, modern novels have their own advantages as well. That is to say, the author can more easily write themselves into the main character, making the storyline easier to think about. Normally speaking, all you need to do is to give the main character a special cheat, or a unique advantage, and the rest will flow as naturally as water.

For example, there's a very popular modern novel with a reincarnated main character. The protagonist has only a very simple cheat—being reincarnated to several years in the past. This is quite an easy scenario for newcomer authors to insert themselves into. Just think about it, if you can reincarnate back to the past with all your memories intact, what will you do?

Most authors can probably imagine it. If you return to several years in the past with knowledge of the future, there's just far too many ways of earning money. Even if you have zero business skills, can't remember a single stock market pick, and don't remember who won the World Cup of Soccer, at the very absolute minimum, shouldn't you know something like what company you should invest in?

Apart from earning money, don't you, the author, have any other regrets as well? For example, do you regret not treating your parents better while they were still alive? Do you regret choosing the wrong major in college? Are you embarrassed at your awkward attempts to get a boyfriend/girlfriend?

And so on, and so forth. Why are you afraid of not being able to think of plots for your storyline and making it longer?

As for the specific details, those are quite easy as well. For example, if you intended to sell off everything you owned back in the day and take out a huge loan to invest in one specific company, what would your parents say, and how would they react? How would all your other friends and relatives react as well? Who would you try to borrow money from, and how would they respond? What's the specific process of investing in a company, and what procedures are necessary? What if the company you invest in temporarily loses value after you invest in it? Would your parents complain at you and tell you to retract your investment? And how will people react after the company you invested in suddenly does super well and you make a huge profit? And, what will you do with the money…

Just this one storyline arc about investing in a company has plenty of content to write about even simply by following the natural process of how people would act. And if you use that as the foundation and intentionally write some conflicts, such as how the protagonist discovered that his friend who he wanted to borrow money from is actually investing in a different company, how he pretended to have a casual attitude when opening up an investment account made the investment company female employee misunderstand him to be someone really rich, or how people scoffed at him after investing in a company and he made a bet…

Wouldn't you agree that all these related events can add plenty of content to your story? Not only that, it shouldn't be all that difficult even for a newcomer author to write such a story arc.

Even if you're one of the few who feel like you lack imaginative prowess, and you don't have the confidence to create interesting scenarios and conflicts, well, there's still one more advantage of writing a modern story—you can borrow ideas from plenty of sources.

The most direct sources of all would be television dramas, especially those set in the current day. This should be easy to understand.

Apart from television shows and movies, there's also hot topics in society, the news, or local gossip and family conflicts… These are sources that are easy to overlook or maybe often considered boring. But actually, it's quite common to make some modifications and write them into your own novel and borrow from such sources.

This is why, from a certain standpoint, modern novels are the easiest novels for newcomers to begin with and to write a long story about.

3. Imitations

Imitation type novels aren't a particular genre, but they can belong to any genre. While this may seem rather contradictory, it actually means that a newcomer author could try selecting one of his or her own favorite and most familiar novels and imitate it. This isn't limited by genre.

Imitation could be shallow, or it could be a close imitation as well.

To give a theoretical example, perhaps the original story has a main character named Zhang San, who's the son of the sect leader of Green Castle. Your imitation novel could try having a main character named Li Si, who's the son of the sect leader of the Wudang Sect. The original story had Zhang San falling off a cliff and miraculously surviving while also obtaining a book containing a miraculous cultivation technique. After he successfully powered up, Zhang San was sent by his father to go undercover in the Demon Sect, where he fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's daughter. Your story could try having Li Si being ambushed while cultivating and becoming seriously injured, but miraculously having a great breakthrough in cultivation due to overlapping coincidences. Afterwards, Li Si went undercover in the Demon Sect in an effort to investigate who ambushed him, and fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's granddaughter…

This type of imitation requires even less creative effort from the author compared to fan fiction. From a certain standpoint, this is really cutting it close to becoming plagiarism. Yet, it's still undeniable that this is a usable method for newcomer authors to improve their own skills.

But, please note that this type of writing style is only suitable for practicing your writing. If your story is too much of an imitation, it'll be impossible to even make it public. That's because unlike fan fiction, even if you don't use it for commercial purposes, you've still plagiarized and violated the original author's copyright. It might even spoil certain plots from the original story and affect its sales and popularity.

That's why this type of learning via imitation, in principle, isn't really one of the better ways to learn. More accurately speaking, this is the final way to learn available to total beginner authors that have failed at attempting all other self-training methods.

In normal circumstances, after half a month to a month of imitation practice, the author should have some more insight into writing. The author can learn how to design storylines and write descriptions. At such a time, the author can stop trying to imitate and begin developing a completely original novel on their own.

!! Thankyou !!

"You are discharged. Refrain from stocking poultries, processed foods and seafoods  for a long time." Dr. Steven reminded Christian. Christian just nodded in response with a small smile written on his face. "Well, I'll leave you guys alone." Steven said, tapping Christian's shoulder before leaving the room. When Steven had already left, they decided to leave as well. While walking, Ezekiel could feel that Cristy is worried about her son's condition. He gave Cristy a reassuring smile to comfort her. Cristy stopped walking and looked at Christian "Are you sure that you are strong enough to work? You know that you can take a rest for a few days." She asked to confirm his condition. "Come on mom, I'm already a grown-up man. I can handle myself." He said with a cheerful smile on his face. Cristy felt relieved after hearing those words coming from her son. "Don't make me worried again." She said, as she hugs her son while chuckling. "Yes mom, you are making me embarassed." He said hugging his mother back. Ezekiel could hear their laughter. He was touched by the mother-and-son scenario. His lips formed a small smile because of the sweetness of the both. Christian saw him smile, so he instantly stood up straight. His mother gave him a confused look. "Look mom, Ezekiel is now mocking me." Christian complained. Ezekiel and Cristy look at each other, before bursting into laughter. "Wow."

"Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you to your unit?" Cristy asked. "Mom, I'm not a toddler anymore." He refused. "Fine, just call me when you arrived. I'm going to take a cab from here. Take care son." Cristy bid her farewell reminder to her son before parting ways. Christian waved to Cristy, as he walks at the opposite direction while Ezekiel is following him behind. Christian noticed that Ezekiel is following him. "You are not going to accompany me, aren't you?" He said without glancing at Ezekiel. "For your information. my way from here is the same as yours. And as your editor, I need to check your well-being after being sick, so you won't give me headaches." Ezekiel said in a teasing manner. Christian just let out a sigh of defeat.

When they reached Christian's building unit, Christian pressed the elevator button and looked at Ezekiel amused. "How long are you going to follow me?" He asked. Ezekiel flinched before responding to his inquiry. "Well, I needed to clarify some things." He explained. Christian on the other hand looked confused, but he decided to let him do what he wants. After a few minutes of silence in the elevator, they finally reach Christian's unit. Christian opened the door, then he went inside immediately. "So, what do you want to clarify?" Christian asked Ezekiel who is currently sitting on the sofa. "Well, Let me get to the point. Where did you get that 'Grammar Analyst' thing?" Ezekiel asked directly. Christian, who is unbottoning his polo flinched. "I don't know if you will believe to my sentiments but, after that supposed to be incident, I woke up receiving a text from you saying that you hired a 'legendary' grammar analyst because you don't want to edit my nasty grammar." He explained while changing his clothes. Ezekiel seems surprised to what Christian had said, but he decided to stay silent and let Christian talk. "There's also this so called 'The Seasons of Novelists' which includes me, Isaiah, Chealsea and Vinz. Are they existing?" Christian finished changing and went to the living room where Ezekiel is sitting. "Well, they are our friends during college. But with regards to the so called, 'Seasons of Novelists', I don't think it is existing. I haven't heard any news about that." Ezekiel explained. The unit is filled with silence. None of them are talking about the current situation. Ezekiel thought that it is weird that Christian imagined random things. And as for Christian, he thought that he travelled from two different worlds. Minutes had passed and no one dared to talk. Christian, could not handle the piercing sound of silence between them so he decided to speak. "So, the name of the Grammar Analyst is something Haris? do you know him or her?" Christian asked to break the silence. "I know a lot of Grammar Analyst, but I never heard of an analyst named Haris." He replied, worried about what is happening. He may act like a cold stone, but he feared superficial events. "Are we haunted? Maybe we are a character in a horror story!" Ezekiel worriedly said. His instincts are telling him to check Christian's bedroom. He rushed towards the room and, it made Christian looked at him confused. To his surprise, the room was clean. "Did you clean this?" He asked. Christian immediately stood up and walked towards his room. "No?" He hesitated. Ezekiel was about to call for help but Christian stopped him. "Don't be a baby. Maybe someone cleaned this room. Come to think of it, my mom hired housekeepers to clean my unit every week because I'm not a tidy person." Christian explained. "Stop with your superficial imagination and go home. You need to take a rest to calm your weird imagination." He added to mock him. Ezekiel took a deep breath to calm himself.
They went back to the living room to talk about serious matters. "Well, let's forget about that random things and focus on your project. Can you made it in time?" Ezekiel genuinely asked. "As I said before, I already faced a lot of obstacles so there's nothing stopping me from reaching my goal. I assure you, I'll win." Christian said with full of confidence and enthusiasm. Ezekiel looked at him, amazed to what Christian had said. "Fine. I'll support you if you are that eager to win." He asserted.
After talking about the Novel Prize Awards; about how they will catch up their missed works for hours, Ezekiel decided to go home. "I'm going now. Don't push yourself too much." He gave a reminder to Christian before leaving. "Bye." Christian waved at Ezekiel. When he heard the door was closed already, he went to his room to start working on his project. He reached his laptop and placed it on his desk. Turning the laptopn on, it gave him a lot of memories. 'Damn, I really love writing.' He opened one of the folders that contains his works. He checked all the files and drafts to see his progress on his current project. "Wow, I still have a lot of things to work on." He chuckled nervously. He prepared a glass of water, a biscuit, and a pen and paper besides him. "Let's begin."
Fourty-five minutes had passed, and he had done nothing. The document is plain white, the paper is unwritten, but the water and biscuit is finished. Christian groaned because he could not seem to find the appropriate word for each sentence. Christian will type something but he will eventually delete it. For him, it won't work. It won't win a major prize. Also, He could not even express himself. He could not see himself in the draft. That made him decide to just discard them. So, he had no progress at all. "I need help." Christian mocked himself. He threw himself on the bed, reaching out his mobile phone. "I wonder how many e-mails and messages did I received." He chuckled. When he unlocked his phone, he was shocked. "One e-mail, and zero messages. Wow, no one loves me." He faked whine. He let out a sigh and opened his social media account. He decided to message his colleagues just to make sure that they are existing. Who knows, maybe Ezekiel is scaring him.
He searched for Isaiah's personal contact and luckily, he found it. 'Good thing you are existing.' He thought. "Hey Isaiah, how are you." He sent a message to Isaiah. He closed the message window and scroll through his social media feed. After scrolling for a while, he received a notification. "I'm busy. I'll talk to you later." Isaiah replied. Christian laughed to Isaiah's reply. "Cold as ever." He chuckled. "They are existing, no need to worry self." Christian talked to himself, as he continues to check his feed. He saw an article with regards to the Novel Prize Awards. "Oh, they released an article already." He mumbled.

He read the article and saw a lot of informations and guidelines about the contest. 'Oh this is for the future readers of our book.' He thought. He kept on scrolling until he saw the list of authors who are joining the awards. He saw a picture of himself with a name beneath the picture. "Wow, I looked handsome here." He praised himself. He tried to find his colleagues to see if they are joining. But to his surprise, he did not find any. Thus, he dialed Vinz' phone number. The phone kept ringing, but Vinz did not answer. 'Maybe he is busy at the moment.' He assumed. Christian dialed Chelsea's number instead. Fortunately, Chelsea answered the phone call. "Hello, I was just wondering if you join the upcoming Novel Prize Awards?" He greeted her with a question. "Hello Tan! I'm not joining this year." Chelsea cheerfully replied. "Am I the only one who is joining?" He asked. "I think so. Vinz told me that it's not his thing. With regards to Isaiah, writing depends on his mood." Chelsea explained. "May I ask why you are not joining?" The boy questioned the other person in the line. "I actually don't know the reason, but I think it's your year." She replied. "I'm sorry, I need to go now. I still have to wake up early tomorrow. I have a meeting with the sales department." She added. "Oh, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Goodluck tomorrow!" He cheered, as Chelsea hangs up the call. 'Well that's weird.' He thought, as he decided to check the other authors who are joining.
Christian saw a familiar name in the list of authors. "Wait, Joyce Haris. She's so familiar." He talked to himself. He just stared at the screen of his mobile phone before realizing who she was. "Joyce Haris." He felt that he knew who is Joyce Haris. He remembered the conversation he had with Ezekiel earlier. 'I know who she is.' Christian was startled when he realize something is going on.
"She's the daughter of the legendary Grammar Analyst." Christian said. He looked for more informations regarding to the author named Joyce Haris. To his surprise, Joyce Haris is not any simple kind of authors. She is a phenominal writer who had tons of major awards in her sleeves. "How come I did not know her?" He asked to himself unconsciously. "Silly me, I don't know any other authors who aren't working at Shugo Publishing. Besides, most authors are hiding behind their pseudonyms." He sighed. Christian felt weird that he is currently talking to himself, so he decided to turn off his mobile phone. Instead of making himself felt envious about Joyce Haris, he opted to take a rest. It is already been a long day for him. But one thing is for sure, Joyce Haris is not an easy opponent.

Christian Simoune, a famous author.  Throughout his journey, he faced a lot of challenges. Unfortunately, He tends to feel burned-out writing because of those challenges. As time passes by, he experienced unusual events.  Will it help him reach his goals despite of the challenges he is facing?

But after a long time, His journey reached to an end. Is he happy? Is he satisfied? But the important question is, 

"Did he reached his goal?"

World War II, and Japan's defeat, deeply influenced Japanese literature. Many authors wrote stories of disaffection, loss of purpose, and the coping with defeat. Haruo Umezaki's short story Sakurajima shows a disillusioned and skeptical Navy officer stationed in a base located on the Sakurajima volcanic island, close to Kagoshima, on the southern tip of the Kyushu island. Osamu Dazai's novel The Setting Suntells of a soldier returning from Manchukuo. Shōhei Ōoka won the Yomiuri Prize for his novel Fires on the Plain about a Japanese deserter going mad in the Philippine jungle. Yukio Mishima, well known for both his nihilistic writing and his controversial suicide by seppuku, began writing in the post-war period. Nobuo Kojima's short story "The American School" portrays a group of Japanese teachers of English who, in the immediate aftermath of the war, deal with the American occupation in varying ways.

Prominent writers of the 1970s and 1980s were identified with intellectual and moral issues in their attempts to raise social and political consciousness. One of them, Kenzaburō Ōe published his best-known work, A Personal Matterin 1964 and became Japan's second winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Mitsuharu Inoue (ja) had long been concerned with the atomic bomb and continued in the 1980s to write on problems of the nuclear age, while Shusaku Endo depicted the religious dilemma of the Kakure Kirishitan, Roman Catholics in feudal Japan, as a springboard to address spiritual problems. Yasushi Inoue also turned to the past in masterful historical novels of Inner Asia and ancient Japan, in order to portray present human fate.

Avant-garde writers, such as Kōbō Abe, who wrote fantastic novels such as The Woman in the Dunes (1960), wanted to express the Japanese experience in modern terms without using either international styles or traditional conventions, developed new inner visions. Yoshikichi Furui tellingly related the lives of alienated urban dwellers coping with the minutiae of daily life, while the psychodramas within such daily life crises have been explored by a rising number of important women novelists. The 1988 Naoki Prize went to Shizuko Todo (ja) for Ripening Summer, a story capturing the complex psychology of modern women. Other award-winning stories at the end of the decade dealt with current issues of the elderly in hospitals, the recent past (Pure- Hearted Shopping District in Kōenji, Tokyo), and the life of a Meiji period ukiyo-e artist.

Haruki Murakami is one of the most popular and controversial of today's Japanese authors. His genre-defying, humorous and surreal works have sparked fierce debates in Japan over whether they are true "literature" or simple pop-fiction: Kenzaburō Ōe has been one of his harshest critics. Some of Murakami's best-known works include Norwegian Wood (1987) and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994–1995).

Banana Yoshimoto, a best-selling contemporary author whose "manga-esque" style of writing sparked much controversy when she debuted in the late 1980s, has come to be recognized as a unique and talented author over the intervening years. Her writing style stresses dialogue over description, resembling the script of a manga, and her works focus on love, friendship and loss. Her breakout work was 1988's Kitchen.

Although modern Japanese writers covered a wide variety of subjects, one particularly Japanese approach stressed their subjects' inner lives, widening the earlier novel's preoccupation with the narrator's consciousness. In Japanese fiction, plot development and action have often been of secondary interest to emotional issues. In keeping with the general trend toward reaffirming national characteristics, many old themes re-emerged, and some authors turned consciously to the past. Strikingly, Buddhist attitudes about the importance of knowing oneself and the poignant impermanence of things formed an undercurrent to sharp social criticism of this material age. There was a growing emphasis on women's roles, the Japanese persona in the modern world, and the malaise of common people lost in the complexities of urban culture.

Popular fiction, non-fiction, and children's literature all flourished in urban Japan in the 1980s. Many popular works fell between "pure literature" and pulp novels, including all sorts of historical serials, information-packed docudramas, science fiction, mysteries, detective fiction, business stories, war journals, and animal stories. Non-fiction covered everything from crime to politics. Although factual journalism predominated, many of these works were interpretive, reflecting a high degree of individualism. Children's works re-emerged in the 1950s, and the newer entrants into this field, many of them younger women, brought new vitality to it in the 1980s.

Manga (comics) has penetrated almost every sector of the popular market. It includes virtually every field of human interest, such as multivolume high-school histories of Japan and, for the adult market, a manga introduction to economics, and pornography. Manga represented between 20 and 30 percent of annual publications at the end of the 1980s, in sales of some ¥400 billion per year.

Cell phone novels appeared in the early 21st century. Written by and for cell phone users, the novels—typically romances read by young women—have become very popular both online and in print. Some, such as Love Sky, have sold millions of print copies, and at the end of 2007 cell phone novels comprised four of the top five fiction best sellers.

Welcome Esteemed Readers!
My name is Crystal Bachleda and my PSEUDONYM Name is C. M. Brighid Bachleda, and welcome to my FIRST attempt at writing a Speculative Fiction of Echtra, Romantic Fantasy, Mythic Fiction, Urban Fantasy, Supernatural Fiction and Erotic Literature.

(Echtra: (plural-Echtrai) Old Irish word for adventure(s) or outing(s); modern and middle Irish language word is pronounced as Eachtra. Type of pre-Christian Old Irish literature about a hero's adventure in the Otherworld or with otherworldly beings.)

Echtra is an interesting genre and its plural form Echtrai makes for an interesting title; this story is my own Modern Fairy Tale mixed with Mythic Fiction and Urban Fantasy with a touch of Supernatural Fiction. I was inspired by *Hayao Miyazaki's* SPIRITED AWAY to try writing my own Mature version BUT with a gender bender twist to *Hans Christian Andersen's* SNEDRONNINGEN/THE SNOW QUEEN with a touch of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos mixed with a twist to Tam Lin.

I am also trying Romantic Fantasy with a modern and supernatural twist; I'm taking a step out of my comfort zone as I try my hand at Erotic Literature. I did my research, even read erotic stories for inspiration and used my imagination with more research to the best of my abilities.

I have also turned this book into a TV Show of sorts told by the main character's view point; there will be episodes instead of chapters and story arcs instead of parts or books. I'm also taking a page from *Rick Riordan's* THE KANE CHRONICLES trilogy by making it into recordings of sorts and I am happy with the results.

Thank you for reading this letter and please enjoy this unique story!

(Sidhe pronounced and sometimes spelled as Shee, plural Sidhes, means fairy folk.)

A Modern Fairy Tale Memoir

This is a memoir of a young woman with her friends who become trapped in a world of spirits, Sidhes, myths and legends!
