Megami Tensei (女神転生, Goddess Reincarnation), commonly abbreviated as MegaTen, is a Japanese console role-playing game metaseries which was originally based on the novel series Digital Devil Story by Aya Nishitani. This twenty year old trilogy was never exported from Japan, and is the original source of the massively successful series. A blogger by the moniker of Masakado was kind enough to translate the first two novels of the series, and in an effort to spread awareness of these translations and the source material, we've edited the two translated novels and made them easily available in an downloadable format. We also have a $100 bounty on the third novel. The person who translates the third novel, the Favorite Edition Demise of the Reincarnation receives a $100 bounty.

Remarks
Digital Devil Story 2: Warrior of the Demon City(デジタル・デビル・ストーリー2　魔都の戦士) is the second book in the trilogy authored by Aya Nishitani.

The consequences of summoning demons into the human world have not ended with the defeat of Loki. The Demon Summoning Program has created a link between the demon world and the human world, allowing greedy humans to bring forth the great evil god of ancient Egypt. Akemi Nakajima now has a greater enemy to face, as he tries to protect the woman he loves and the world he lives in, both now at risk because of him.

A Young Macedonian in the Army of Alexander the Great

Preface
THE visit of Alexander to Jerusalem is recorded by Josephus only. The fact that it is not mentioned by Arrian, who had contemporary diaries before him, by Quintus Curtius, or by Diodorus Siculus, certainly throws some doubt upon it. But it must be remembered that Jerusalem was not more interesting than any other Syrian town to these writers. Bishop Westcott thinks that Josephus's narrative may be true, and I am content to make this opinion my defence for introducing the incident into my story.

Author's Note
"This was what I wrote when I was invited to make an anthology comic on the topic of angels. However, the anthology wasn't text based and the other two were artists, so I was in trouble. What is the meaning of a novel when over half of the book was pictures? Especially when it's a short novel. That's how I came up with the irregular "Notes" after my doubtfulness.

I remember that I was pretty satisfied with what I came up with, considering that it was completed in a short amount of time. Although, it's unpleasant to the eyes, it brings back memories when I cut and pasted what I typed out from the word processor.

...If I ever get a chance, I would like to make this into a real series of story too. I always think about that when I look at the Black Barrel." – Kinoko Nasu

The Lance of Kanana

Opening Remarks
An interesting piece of historical fiction, written by a Christian European author for a Christian European audience from the perspective of a heroic Muslim Bedouin defeating the forces of Christendom.

PREFACE

Encircled by the fiery, trackless sand,

A fainting Arab halted at a well

Held in the hollow of the desert's hand.

Empty! Hope vanished, and he gasped and fell.

At night the West Wind wafted o'er the land

The welcome dew, a promise to foretell:

Hers this result, for which she bade him stand.

The Coward of Beni Sads

The Old Sheik's Promise

At the Foot of Mount Hor

The Promise
