-Izanagi is the God of the Heavens, the highest being in the beginning of time. Izanami is the beautiful goddess of love who became the wife of Izanagi.

-The reason why I chose to read and write notes on this story is because of an anime I used to watch called Naruto. Naruto is an anime about ninjas and Izanagi and Izanami happens to be the name of jutsu that is extremely over-powered in the series.

-In the beginning of time, hordes of gods and goddesses emerged out of the hearts of the earth's blossoms, and the last god to come out was Izanagi and Izanami.

-Life on earth started through Izanagi and Izanami, making countless generations of man and beasts. 

-Amaterasu is a jutsu that engulfs whatever the user is looking at with black flames that cannot be put out until it burns whatever it is touching. It can even burn fire itself. 

-In the original story, Amaterasu is the daughter of Izanagi and Izanami who would eventually give birth to a son named Susa-no-wo-no-mikoto.

-Susanoo' is a name of another jutsu but only inhibited by the Uchiha Clan and by the users of the Mangekyo Sharingan. It is the ultimate defensive jutsu which can hold immense offensive power if used correctly. 

-For my next story, similar to this one, I want to write a story where the two gods/goddesses end up fighting and the collateral is too much for earth to handle.

Introduction to my life

  Hello and welcome to my first blog! My name is Taeam Kang and I will be taking you all on a trip down my life. I first came to the University of Oklahoma to major in Microbiology, Pre-Dental. I enjoyed the field of dentistry and made the effort the past three years to work and get as many shadowing hours and experience as possible. However, this past summer I had a change of heart and changed my major to Pre-Pharmacy in hopes to further my education in pharmacy school. My career goal is to become a head pharmacist for Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. The reason I decided on Pre-Pharmacy rather than Pre-Dental is my hands strangely shake constantly and I decided it’d be best if I did not choose the hand-on surgery route. It is not a serious condition as one can barely even noticed without staring hard at my hands, but I will entrust the field of dentistry to those more qualified. I currently live with six of my friends in a house near campus. My family consists of my mother, step-father, an

(Image Information: Ultimate Vessel for Supreme Diety  https://www.reddit.com/r/NanatsunoTaizai/comments/7ir36v/ultimate_vessel_for_supreme_deity/) In the beginning of time, a big bang created a world split between heaven and hell. Each world was ruled by all-mighty entities; Aura, the goddess angel of heaven, and Amadan, the demon king of hell. For years, the two rulers raged war upon each other, creating chaos for centuries to come. Between the two opposite worlds existed a world of man, who found themselves constantly in the crossfire in the war between heaven and hell.  The two rulers also had children of their own. First born son of Amadan was named, Zaratras, who became the most notorious and feared soldier in the demon king’s army. First born daughter of Aura was named, Yama, who also became the strongest soldier in the army of heavens. Both fought countless days and nights, fighting for a cause created by their parents. However, when they met on the battlefield, it deemed too d
