He was the first animal on this planet to have emerged from the waters to walk on land.... more>>

He sat on the sandy beach, looking down at his hands.

He had five fingers on each hand, joined together by blue webbing. He stared at his hands. The webbing disappeared, seemingly absorbed into his body.

His skin became hard and dry. Textures began to form.

He sat there, pondering.

Who am I?

He seemed to be experiencing rather than thinking.

He could sense the damp heat of water vapour caressing his body; hear the quiet sloshing of water from afar, wave after wave; feel the grains of white sand digging into his skin.

He experienced things. But when he reached with his hand, he could not seem to grasp what they were.

He reached again and touched the corners of his mouth, noticing its upward arch. He made an expression known to humans as a smile.

Soon, the expression shifted into something else.

He sat there, cried and laughed, crying and laughing, as his chest rioted with brimming emotions. <<less

In 2036, humankind steps foot on Mars for the first time.... more>>

In 2052, Earth holds the first World Martial Arts Tournament, a global martial arts competition watched by the entire planet.

Top professional gladiator, “Spear Demon” Xu Jingming, retires at the prime age of 26 with a body ridden with injuries.

One day, the United Nations announces that humankind would be ushering in a new era for human evolution. Advanced technology had been found on Mars, a secret kept to this day. Research had been carried out to use science to augment human evolution.

All of humankind can now evolve themselves by partaking in this VR experience using the freely distributed VR headset.

How will Xu Jingming use this opportunity for all humankind to his advantage? <<less

The su*cide of a high school girl following the rejection of her crush whom she confessed to roused the soul of a Scorpio Planet Marshal from her 200 million years of slumber — she reincarnated into the body of Xuan Mo. And so, she decided to live on Earth on behalf of the girl! However, it was quite the miserable situation for an alien to own two different sets of memories. She had to use her peculiar mental power to peep into the previous owner’s memories regarding everyday, mundane matters while trying to rein in her cutting aura pretending to be a normal human…... more>>

But her shocking performance during military training definitely must have floored everyone. Okay fine, her incredible finesse aside, what’s with the consecutive bullseye for every single round during their shooting competition? Was this something a normal female student is able to achieve? Shouldn’t you explain yourself a little damnit! And what’s with the multiple grade jumps, and being contended for by the various prestigious universities? What kinda havoc you try’na wreck with your low-key flaunting? I mean it’s a good thing she’s caught the eye of a special organisation and was entrusted with important tasks, but what’s with all aloof rule-breaking gameplay? She’s practically the walking definition of “hated by even the gods”.

What’s even stranger was that Xuan Mo’s only ever interested in warring matters and battling; she’ll only ever pay her ferociously blooming blossom luck as much heed as she minds the passing cloud with the mindset of crossing the bridge when she reaches it (wipes sweat) and can you be less insensitive when handling the various Earthlings’ endless crushing and eye-candying you?!

This all screeches to a halt however when she discovers the existence of someone else from her home-planet, so she’ll be needing a raincheck with the getting a “spouse” part of mortal life on the Blue Planet. Of course, we’re discussing this on the premise that she wanted to return home… <<less

“You are… a hero.”

“No, I’m not.”

“I see. You are the one we have been waiting for…”

I just told you I wasn’t though.

“How surprising. Were you aiming for this perhaps? As expected…”

This is crazy, absolutely madness.

“Praise the light!”

I am about to go insane, for real! <<less

But no one thought that one day, she would actually meet an alien.

Scared by the other, it seemed like she screamed……

She fainted, then fell face down or something like that……

She seemed to have gotten a bloody nose from being knocked out……

She doesn’t remember any of this!!!

The only thing she cares about is that after she fainted, the alien actually dragged her, chest down, back home – does the alien not feel ashamed?! <<less

Lan Xi made a mistake during her interstellar travel and landed on Earth.... more>>

As the princess of Planet Moyi, she decided to save herself. First, solve the money problem.

So she took out the "Guide to Conquering Earthlings 2003 Edition" that experts from Planet Moyi had carefully compiled years ago -

"Chapter 1 How to Elegantly Make Money":

"Beginner's Guide: Find a high-end building, take a broken bowl, and sit there for a day to elegantly make enough money to spend for one day."

However, after sitting bitterly for a day, Lan Xi didn't make a penny and was driven away by security guards -

"Don't sit here begging, President Xie already criticized us for negligence! Besides, it's not that era anymore, beggars use QR codes now!"

No problem, there's still -

"Intermediate Guide: Find a luxury car, pretend to be hit by it, lie on the ground paralyzed, and you can elegantly make enough money to spend for three months."

However, before Lan Xi could lie down, a driver got out of the car -

"We have dash cams installed! Move away quickly, President Xie is in a hurry. I'll sue you if you try this scam again!"

This tactic also failed. But no worries, there's still -

"Ultimate Guide: Find a rich Earthling, conquer him, marry him, and you can elegantly make enough money to spend for a lifetime."

Very well, might as well go all out and get it done once and for all!

Lan Xi already had a perfect candidate in mind, the boss of the company she begged at on the first day, the owner of the luxury car - Xie Cheng!

Xie Cheng met a strange beautiful woman.

On the first day, she begged at the door of his company;

On the second day, she staged a car accident scam on him;

On the third day, she blocked him in an alley, with a face of great mercy -

"I really like your money, I hope it becomes mine."

"So I've decided to marry you."

She coughed -

"Are you going to voluntarily be conquered by me, or be forcibly conquered by me?"

You will never know what those researchers did to you.

And you don’t want to know either,

about what exactly… the creature that your body hatched to was.

=============

A short story~ I’ll try to finish it within 10K Chinese characters

Content tags: Sci-fi, thriller

Main Characters: me | Side character: Him

One-line summary: You never want to know what you hatched <<less

Physically confronting your abusive superior might be cool and satisfying when it happens in a drama, but, as Kazuo Sugishita is learning, it's less cool when you're sitting at home afterwards, terrified to learn how you'll be punished when you return to work the next day. The sentence he faces sounds surprisingly lenient - just a temporary reassignment to the company's entertainment department while things blow over. But he changes his mind when he gets the specifics: Kazuo has been assigned as manager-in-training (read "servant") to Shiro Hoshizono, the "Star Watcher": A pompous, showoff-y, completely insufferable talent with no actual talents except using his sickeningly sweet words and foreign model looks to seduce lonely middle... more>> aged women into paying for the privilege of hearing him speak.

The day after his new assignment, Kazuo and Hoshizono leave for Saitama Prefecture, where Hoshizono has been recruited to become an image character for a campground in the mountains, alongside a group of other colorful characters, including a romance novelist with the looks of Cleopatra but the personality of someone's grandpa and a UFO obsessed conspiracy theorist.

But the morning after their arrival, their host is found strangled to death in his lodge, the road back is buried in an avalanche, and... you can probably see where this is going.

Turns out, despite how he comes across normally, Hoshizono is actually a genius detective!

The novel features a unique chapter naming scheme where each chapter is titled as a three to four sentence summary of its own contents, focused upon what information about the case is discovered and what evidence appears, for ease of reference.

A nominee for the 50th annual Mystery Writers Association of Japan Award, long story category. <<less
