Bless the Broken Road (Part 1)
"Aish!" badtrip kong sabi. E paano ba naman, lumagpas kasi 'yung pagkakapinta ko doon sa may bandang gilid ng ginagawa ko.
"Kumain ka muna, Sheshe. Maya mo na lang 'yan ituloy." biglang sabi ni kuya Ely sa akin habang kumakain ng sandwich at naglalaro ng computer games.
"I told you, kuya, huwag mo akong tawaging Sheshe, ang baduy. Shallane 'yun, okay?" sabi ko kay kuya at inayos na lamang ang pinipinta ko. Kapag mainit talaga ang ulo ko 'e lagi akong nagkakamali sa ginagawa kong pagpipinta.
Tumayo na ako at bumaba na lamang para kumain ng meryenda since maaga pa naman para sa tanghalian.
"May food na kayo ng kuya mo para sa tanghalian niyo mamaya. May nakahanda na ring carbonara doon sa kusina kung magmemeryenda ka. I gotta go, baby. Babalik din naman ako mamaya with my friend. Bye, love you." sabi ni mom habang inaayos niya ang kanyang bag at ang kanyang coat.
"Yes mom. Thank you and please, take care. I love you, too." sabi ko at hinalikan ang pisngi ni mom.
"And by the way, pupunta pala dito 'yung anak ng friend ko. He's good kaya please, be good to him. Sabihan mo na lang ang kuya mo." huling sabi ni mom bago siya pumasok sa kanyang kotse at pinaharurot ito.
I sigh. Pumunta na lamang ako sa kusina at kumain ng meryenda. Ang boring ng araw na 'to.
Nabigla ako sa pagtunog ng doorbell ng bahay namin kaya't agad akong napatayo. Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib at huminga ng malalim. Hays, mamamatay ako sa kaba dito 'e.
Uminom muna ako ng tubig sa aming pitchel at dumiretso na sa aming pintuan. Binuksan ko naman ito at nakita roon ang isang lal-- este isang gwapong lalaki.

Napatitig ako sa mga mata niya. Why is it so simple yet so attractive?
"Sino 'yan, bunso?" rinig kong tanong ni kuya sa likod ko. Agad akong napalunok. Hays, tameme na naman ako.
"I-I don't know, kuya." sabi ko.
"Huh?" nakita ko na lamang si kuya sa gilid ko habang pinagmamasdan ang gwapong lalaki na nasa harapan namin. Naka-white shirt lang sya habang nakasilid ang kanyang mga kamay sa kanyang bulsa.
"Sino ka? Magnanakaw ka ba? Carnapper? O kaya akyat-bahay?" simpleng tanong ni kuya. Agad napaawang ang mga labi ko sa kaswal na tanong ni kuya. Ganun lang 'yun? Hindi ba siya magugulat o magtataka man lang?
"I'm the son of your mom's friend." sabi naman nitong lalaking 'to. Napapitik na lamang ako sa hangin ng mapagtantong siya 'yung sinasabi ni mom na anak ng kaibigan niya.
"Halika, pasok ka sa loob." pag-aaya ko sa kanya at pumasok naman siya. Kita ko ang pagtataka sa mukha ni kuya pero nagthumbs-up na lang ako sa kanya.
"What's your name?" agad kong tanong. Don't get me wrong. Ayoko lang talagang hindi kilala ang kinakausap ko. I'm just being friendly here.
"I'm Kaesley Aquiles. Long time no see, Shilly." sabi niya habang may kung anong tina-type sa phone niya at bigla na lang niyang inangat ang tingin sa akin. Biglang kumabog ang dibdib ko. Iisa lang ang kilala kong tumatawag sa akin ng Shilly. At Kaesley? As in Kaesley na first ever crush ko?!

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
