Project: Gumiho
The story follows Katsuye, the only odd
person out of her family since she wants to be a warrior rather than a waiting
lady. On the day of her younger sister Masae's thirteenth birthday, Masae
reveals herself as a fox demon who has been in disguise for thirteen years
before killing Katsuye's family; Katsuye is the only survivor. Joined by her
avenging uncle, a guilty priest, and a aloof warrior, Katsuye vows revenge on
the Fox Demon while going through their inner struggles.

Project: Silver Crown
Project: Silver Crown
The story is named Silvercrown, after the graphite-colored mineral with markings upon it
resembling teeth or a ‘crown’. Humans seek out this material in the far reaches
of space from their four occupied planets, Earth being the first of these.
Bryza Vastian, a young woman born on board a massive O’Neill cylinder craft,
works in a hydroponic lab, languishing for the adventure of a lifetime – that
of setting foot on a planet for the first time. The O’Neill cylinder is on its
way to claim its share of silvercrown that scientific explorers discovered
recently. Unfortunately, not even the vast reaches of space can quench
humankind’s thirst for more than it needs, and the pirates demonstrate this
tendency most. After arriving at Insolitus orbiting around 4 Septiphicus G,
Bryza’s community of miners, scientists, and police forces behold a vicious
attempt on their lives, even before they set foot on the planet. The attack is
the product of a brutal band of high-tech pirates who seek the O’Neill cylinder
tools for acquiring the precious resource that powers all major ships and that
people will pay millions for – the silvercrown.
