Just before my wedding on the planet called Kifirin, I decided I wasn't going to marry someone I'd never met. Aunt Bree for help. She had one condition. I had to live on Earth and take a job with Rome Enterprises in San Francisco. * * * My name is Kordevik Weth. My intended left me standing at the altar.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
The time is the first decade of the twenty-first century. The place is Tokyo, Japan – specifically, the ward known as Shinjuku. An 8.5 earthquake shatters Shinjuku, destroying buildings and streets and turning the bustling ward into a haunted ghost town plagued by the paranormal and the bizarre. Scientists and ESP investigators – along with criminals, enterprising yakuza gangs and mutant cyborgs – come to “Demon City”; some to study the effects of the Devil Quake, others to commit heinous acts of savage violence, and still others to live freely in this lawless town on the edge of the abyss. This is the world of Demon City Shinjuku and how it all began. It is now 2030 and President Kozumi Rama of the World Federation is attacked by an otherworldly demon – Reba Ra, an evil sorcerer of immense power. The only person who can stop Ra is yogi Master Agni Rai’s former apprentice, Genichiro Izayoi – but Genichiro is dead. His son, Kyoya Izayoi, a high school student and the inheritor of Izayoi’s killer nenpo martial arts technique, now enters Shinjuku to try to stop Sorcerer Ra from unleashing the ultimate horror in Demon City. The fate of Shinjuku – and the rest of the world – hangs in the balance. The story of Demon City Shinjuku continues in Demon Palace Babylon, included in this special two-volume complete edition. Acclaimed Japanese horror writer Hideyuki Kikuchi (Vampire Hunter D) established the Wicked City universe with his debut novels Demon City Shinjuku and Demon Palace Babylon. Discover the origins of Dr. Mephisto and the Yashakiden: The Demon Princess series in this new English-language omnibus edition!

Demon city / Magic city
Author: Muramatsu Shōfu
Publisher: Zakuro Books
ISBN:
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
When the Japanese writer Muramatsu Shōfu visited Shanghai in the spring of 1923 he found a city of stark contrasts. There was the glamour and modernity of its nightclubs and European architecture, the vice and sedition of its brothels and gambling dens. He named his bestselling travelogue “魔都” (Mato), Japanese for “Demon City”. In Chinese, “魔都” translates as “Magic City”, which remains a popular nickname for the metropolis to this day. Muramatsu wrote with humour and pathos about his time in Shanghai, his drinking sessions with poets and prostitutes, his trips to the racetrack and the amusement parks, and his turbulent relationship with a Japanese dance instructor who he shared a room with in the house of a Russian émigré. He would return to China many times and become a respected authority on the country. Alexis J Brown is a translator living in London. (Note on the text - Original work published in 1924 by Konishi Shoten, digital copy available here: https://dl.ndl.go.jp/en/pid/972136/1/1 at the National Diet Library Digital Collections. This translated work only includes the chapters “魔都” and “南京”)

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 527
Book Description
Beneath a crimson sun lie wastelands of majestic desolation and cities of cruel splendor, where heroes must battle the horrible monsters and vicious raiders who roam the desert, while in the cities undying sorcerer-kings crush any who dare to oppose them. This is Athas, the unrelenting world of the Dark Sun®; a world shaped by inherently destructive magic, and ruled by intrinsic evil. In such a world, the forces of good—and the heroes who emerge in this unforgiving land—fight not only for themselves, but for life of the world itself. Aric, is a half-elf with a rare natural ability with the psionic discipline known as “the Way.” When Aric is brought into a quest to search for a priceless trove weapons, he would rather keep his head down and live a simple life. But nothing is simple in the city of Nibenay with it reclusive ruler known as the Shadow King. And in a world where metal is the rarest of commodities, Aric’s “way” with metal is an even rarer talent. Enlisted by the Shadow King himself to seek out this cache of metal weaponry, Aric heads into the desert with a treacherous band of adventurers. Allegiances are tested and secrets are uncovered. But sometimes the secrets hidden by the sands of time should remain undiscovered. When Aric and his band uncover an evil perhaps greater than the Shadow King himself, it is a race against time to see who will harness its power.
