Okay, I know medyo awkward ang sitwasyon natin ngayon.
Pasensya na, di ko na kasi kayang pigilan ang sarili ko. I know, I have to tell it to you.
Kung di mo gusto na... ahm, makipag-usap sa akin nang harapan, dito ko na lang muna sasabihin lahat ng gusto kong sabihin sayo.
Seen, 8:53 PM
Alam ko namang di ka manhid sa mga sinasabi at ipinapakita ko nitong mga nakaraang linggo. Hindi na kasi ako makatiis na di ka lapitan.
Sa mga nakalipas na taon, pinili kong mahalin ka na lang sa malayo. Masakit sa akin yun, Mara. Hehe! Pero wala naman akong magawa. Yun ang gusto ng puso ko, eh.
I want to ask you kung bakit bigla ka na lang umiwas at lumayo sa akin. Gustong-gusto kong magtanong sayo, pero di ko magawa. Parang di ko kayang marinig ang dahilan mo.
Naduwag ako, eh. Duwag at takot ako na marinig sayo na di mo ako gusto. Kasi pagkatapos kong mag-confess publicly, doon ka na lumayo. Kaya inisip ko, its your way of telling me na ayaw mo sa akin.
Masakit yun sa akin kaya sinubukan ko na kalimutan ka, na ibaling sa iba ang pagmamahal ko.
Pero wala, eh. Ikaw lang talaga. Ikaw lang ang mahal ng puso ko. Ikaw lang ang isinisigaw ng puso ko. Ikaw lang. Ikaw lang, Mara.
Kaya ayun, ipinangako ko na lang sa sarili ko na gagalingan ko. Na kailangang maging successful ako para kapag may lakas na ulit ako ng loob, di mo ako ikakahiya. Di mo na ako iiwasan.
While I'm striving to become successful, nakabantay ako sayo nang palihim. Pasensiya na kung ikinatutuwa ko pa na wala kang naging boyfriend sa mga nakalipas na taon.
Selfish na kung selfish, but I want you for myself.
Nang lumipat ng bahay sina Nanay, di ako sumama sa kanila. I want the best for my family kaya nga ibinili ko sila ng bahay. Pinilipit nila akong doon na rin tumira, pero tumanggi ako. You know why?

Kasi, ayokong mapalayo sayo. You've become my vitamins, Mara. Kapag nakikita kita, sumasaya ako. Kaya hindi ko kayang umalis at sa ibang lugar na tumira. Hindi ko kayang lumayo sayo.
Kasi nga, mahal kita. Mahal na mahal kita.

Teka, ikaw ba yung naririnig kong umiiyak?
Mara? Are you crying?
Damn! Wait, pupunta ako dyan.

Swallowed Star
Year 2056, in a city in the Yuan Jiang Su Jin area.

However, there was only silence within the ruined, deserted city, with an occasional howl that makes your heart skip a beat.

Caught in a conflict between gods, Scarlet is forced to serve the goddess of Death to save her own life. When her mother goes missing, Scarlet becomes determined to use her newly acquired prowess as a mage to rescue her—which means entrenching herself further in Death's battle against Riordan, a power-hungry god who seeks to control mortals and immortals alike. Dante would do anything to protect the people he cares about, but he isn’t safe himself. Magic is illegal, and it’s getting harder to hide that he’s a mage. Visions of the past and future haunt him, and it won’t be possible to protect himself and his magically-inclined sister forever. When his quiet life is torn away, he’s forced to face his powers and a whole new world. Someone stole Jarrett’s memories. He isn’t going to stop searching until he finds out who—and why. In the meantime, his focus is on commanding a secret rebellion force in hopes of securing autonomy for the oppressed mages of the kingdom. Their fates collide as they become entrenched in the battle against Riordan. To have any chance of slaying a god and freeing themselves from his tyranny, they’ll have to place trust in the right allies and master newfound powers.

Prelude to a quest for employment
Niccolo had always dreamt of becoming an adventurer and all the fame and glory that went with it. As a young noble, he spent most time lying around and drinking, but when he hadn’t been doing that, he’d been practicing his swordplay. Now, he's finally out there in the world, together with a few companions that are motivated by more mundane and duller concerns, such as escaping poverty and famine. Set in a faux-Renaissance setting, with more heroism, snark and magic and less realism.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
