Lunar Calculus: A City-Roaming Guide for Gods from Another World

[I’m determined to write the whole urban-fantasy package. I’ll crush the knives Xiao Jin gave me like stray dogs by the roadside. This book contains original worldbuilding and may include, but is not limited to, the Urban Old Ladies’ Job Placement Support Association, the Garion Brain Research Center, Love Bugs, Love Sin, Love Floats TV, and more.]

A god descended into the deepest undercurrents of the present world: a vortex of humanity’s collective unconscious, an endless abyss woven from unfulfilled desires, selves too frightening to face, and fears repressed until they rotted. At the bottom of the river, he saw something that did not belong in this world, something feeding on human frailty.

As the Previous Era fell, he used a divine spear as an anchor to drive the malice between the stars from the earth’s dreams. Then he made a pact with the founder of the City. The crow was sent into the City, while the wolf remained at the Head’s side. Then he closed his single eye and sank into centuries of silence.

Hundreds of years later, he awoke.

By then, the City had already seen generation after generation come and go. In the years that followed, a company called Lobotomy Corporation used the Seed of Light to illuminate the City’s dark side. A library passed judgment on countless souls and their sins amid the ruins. And a bus called Mephistopheles, carrying twelve Sinners, traveled across the boundary he had drawn with his spear’s tip.

The Blue Moon Knight opened his door for the sake of an old friend. The Head’s Arbiter waited outside, bearing a pact that had endured for thousands of years.

This is the shadow untouched by Lobotomy Corporation’s light. This is the chapter not yet shelved in the Library. This is the verse the Sinners aboard the Bus of the Damned have yet to sing.

This is the story of a god from another world wandering once more through the City of Project Moon.
