09/03/24 - Secrets of the Kuril Islands

The Kuril islands are a set of disputed islands just north of Japan. While Russia currently occupies them, Japan believes them to be theirs. I did not care about the islands in any capacity until I was invited down there for a holiday. Sun, sand and sea was guaranteed and a good time was promised. What actually ended up happening was far more insane than I could have imagined. Read More.

21/07/22 - Ward of Woe

Hey guys, Daisuke's out for today. Instead it's me, Reiko. Truth be told I should be out too, but I have to share my story. It all started with a huge train crash. I don't know all the details, but I do know that, while me and Daisuke were riding the train to school, our train carriage upturned. It was absolutely packed during the accident and Daisuke somehow found himself crushed by everyone. He dislocated his elbow in the crush and, when he did, he let out the loudest scream I have ever heard. I remember pulling him out from the wreckage and yelling for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Once we were on our way, I started to calm down. Even though he was yelling in pain and I was trying to calm him down, I knew he'd be on a fast track to getting the treatment he needed. Things took a very different turn for me however and I had no way of knowing what kind of trouble I was getting myself into. Read More.

31/01/22 - Call of the Ocean

We get transfer students every once in a while, and most of them are alright, but we got this new guy at the turn of the year and he was a special case. His family had moved from a coastal town and come to settle down but he seemed incapable of doing so as he always looked on edge, like something was coming to get him. You could see the white of his eyes surrounding his irises clearly at every moment of the day. I thought that maybe he was a bit nervous of his new surroundings, so I tried to talk to him. Turns out doing that was a grave mistake. Read More.

25/12/21 - "Living" Town

Never trust strangers, that's what my uncle always said. Frequently burned by others and their get-rick-quick schemes, he came to stop trusting strangers and he stopped going after such schemes. He lived by those rules to the letter ever since. That is up until recently. Read More.

14/11/21 - Computer Club Corruption

The headmaster of a high school was murdered. The murderer was a teacher in his school. He was killed by her running him over in a junction in broad daylight in front of dozens of people. Others received minor injuries, mostly from trying to escape the steel box of death. Reports from witnesses on the scene said that the headmaster was acting crazy. He was screaming at the top of his lungs about how "they" were coming. Read More.

31/10/21 - Cursed Photograph

Everyone wouldn't shut up about this girl in our class called Asuka, so much so that the class idol Reiko would get jealous about just how much attention she would get. Why was she so popular? Everyone believed she was psychic. Read More.

07/09/21 - Visit to an Uncharted Island

My part time job is nothing remarkable. It's just a small something I do at a café; I help out with serving tables and I sometimes find myself working behind the counter. It's nothing special most of the time. But there was a deadly secret related to that café, one which I would soon become a part of. Read More.

Everyone looks forward to the summer holidays. Whether it's going out with your mates or just chilling at home, everyone's got something to do. In the last days before the term ended, everyone was busy making plans for the big holiday. One of the guys in my class wasn't having much luck however. Read More.

11/07/2021 - Close Encoutner with Something Malevolent

I had a close call with something that terrified me to my core. A grave news bulletin kicked everything off. Late one evening, as the rain battered down on my house, I was getting ready to relax by playing some games after a long day at school. I turned on the TV and the news popped on. On it, they were talking about a mysterious corpse that was found in an alleyway. Read More.

01/05/2021 - Strange Village Encounter

Hi there, I'm Daisuke Kasugano. I'm not all that much if I say so myself, but I just came across something totally crazy. It all started one day with a regular trip to my local grocery store. One of the regular roads I'd take to go to the store was blocked off by construction work, so I had to go down one of the more crowded roads. I'm not very good with large crowds, so I tried to make myself as small as possible when cutting through everyone. The breathing room wasn't so great, but it was better than nothing. After a while I began to get used to it a little, that was until I bumped into this one person with a black umbrella. Read More.
