Way back then, Lolo Sibal was a survivor of the 1918-1920 Spanish flu pandemic and who was accidentally trapped , along with the Captain for twenty years in the legendary cave of Kabang. Interestingly, the Captain left to him the wealth for Magee's education and returned to the United States. In September, 1941 Magee has heard from a UP friend that the the war had to rise on December of the same year so she returned home empty-handed and stayed with her family. Without them knowing, her father, the Captain who survived has returned to the Philippines for another military mission on the same month of September, 1941 and assigned the 25 year old 1Lt. George of the infantry and the in-charge of the platoons in combat to take care of his daughter in whatever means. One day, during the early weeks of the opponents' occupation, one of its officials named Hakanori proposed to Magee through her mother and agreed for the wedding. Magee was against to it despite her multiple attempts to escape. Accidentally, the night before her wedding, she fell into the abyss nearby their house and found herself the next day that she was with the Filipino guerrillas together with the American and German soldiers. She noticed the Captain personally but only in a short encounter and there - he was gone. In the fight for freedom under the foreign occupation, 1Lt. George used a different tactic and studied very well the terrains and natural habitat of the place. He led the disarming of any opponents patrolling and collected all their weapons and uniforms, worn by Filipino guerrillas in disguising. He also applied sharpened bagacays in holes, pulleys, and ropes in all sorts, throwing rocks, powdered some poisonous plants and made antidotes, used herbs and root crops for their survival and even dug some exit points and tunnels all over just to reach the cave of Kabang. Alongside with Magee at war where he only started as his guardian through the Captain's request had smoothly twisted and subtly turned out that he became madly in love with her. One day...

Sundara Kānda: Hanuman's Odyssey

Whereas Mahabharata's Bhagvad-Gita is taken as a philosophical guide, Ramayana's Sundara Kãnda is sought for spiritual solace; many believe that reading it or hearing it recited would remove all hurdles and usher in good tidings! Miracles apart, it's in the nature of this great epic to inculcate fortitude and generate hope in man for it’s a depiction of how Hanuman goes about his errand against all odds. Besides, it portrays how Seetha, on the verge of self-immolation, overcomes despair to see life in a new light? With rhythm of its verse and the flow of the narrative this sloka to sloka transcreation of the canto beautiful of Valmiki's adi kavya - the foremost poetical composition in the world, Hanuman's Odyssey that paves the way for Rama to rescue his kidnapped wife is bound to charm the readers and listeners alike. Interestingly, as the following verse illustrates, this epic was the forerunner of the magic realism of our times – “Gripped she then him by shadow / Cast which Hanuman coast to coast, Recalled he in dismay then / What Sugreev said at outset / That one fiend had aptitude / To grip its prey by mere shadow.” On a personal note, my paternal grandfather, Bulusu Thimmaiah-garu, like many in his time, was a life-long practitioner of Sundara Kãnda parayana (the epic’s daily recital in part or full), whose spirituality could have providentially guided me in this, rather an effortless, trans-creative endeavour.

Lust, lies, and love

" Why are you looking at me like that? " I said as i caught his eyes traveling down my body. "No reason" he muttered while quickly looking away a slight blush on his cheeks. "Whatever" I turned around to get a good look at the ocean, after all this was technically a vacation. Well, a vacation with certain guidelines. I wandered off within my thoughts, feeling a strong presence behind me. When i attempted to turn towards him I was engulfed in large, strong arms. "Marcello, what are you doing?"I asked as he held me. "I want you"he whispered as I rested the back of my head on his chest, powerless to his hold. He began to move his hands towards my breast. "Bella..." His deep husky voice lingered near my ear. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bella Rosalinda has always been known to be an enthralling yet oddly cold beauty. Her angelic looks paired up with her distant aura makes for one interesting character. She's envied by many and admired from afar. Her coldness only adding to the illusion of an iced beauty queen.

Add that to the fact that she is working as an agent and hides behind the role of a CEO, she is a beautiful, successful, and wealthy woman, who's always looking for a thrill kicking ass and not looking to settle down any time soon. Marcello Alvarez on the other hand is more of a misunderstood misfit trying to fit into a puzzle piece that was and has never been made for him. A hardworking and humble man, who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the bills paid and the fridge stuffed for his mother and siblings to come home to. Even if that means risking his life involving himself in shady business. Marcello needs a bodyguard and bella has been given a new assignment, interestingly enough their two worlds will collide. An array of lustful drama awaits.

MTO: Guild Master Number 1

The year was 2020, the turn of the decade. In the gaming world, the genre of MMOs was dying left right, and center. Those who were dedicated grinders to the MMO genre felt like there was no hope for them to find another immersive world, in which players could choose their classes and make guilds while completing quests and raiding dungeons. That was until the game Myth&Thrones Online came out. This was the first MMO of its kind to successfully implement VR gaming and the MMO experience into one functioning game. Quickly MTO (Myth&Thrones Online) would grab the gaming world by the balls and change gaming forever. It single-handedly saved the dying MMO genre, while also recruiting new players spanning from all regions of the planet. After the first year of its release, MTO won multiple awards such as Game of the Year, Best New Release, Best Multiplayer Game, Best Roleplaying Game, and the list goes on further. But on the 1 year anniversary of its release, something strange happened to all of us, something that would turn the world upside down forever. In under a 24-hour period, the entire planet was merged and mixed with this legendary game of MTO. Many believed this was a sign of the end times, others thought it might've been aliens. Many theories and guesses were made but none could be concluded due to this rapid change. Forever this event would be known worldwide as “The Great Patch.” This phenomenon would change the world forever causing governments once in power out of power, and major tech companies to topple. Not only that but mythical creatures and beasts would now roam the world, along with races from fiction like Elves, dwarfs, etc. New Guilds would be formed and New kingdoms would be established in this new world. Interestingly enough those who played MTO would quickly advance to power simply due to the fact that everyone who played prior to The Great Patch, knew what to do, and how to advance, whether that was defeating certain bosses, finding legendary loot, and so on and so on. There were also some new things in this world however, everyone would get access to a game-like UI system that would keep track of classes, stats, skills, inventory, maps, etc. But only when you turn 16 you could access this UI. So everyone under the age of 16 was just a normal regular kid. But for the most part, the world would function like normal, there were still jobs that everyone would have like, waiters and barkeeps, grocery clerks, etc, although there would be slight differences in certain jobs like dungeon runners, guild recruiters, Knights, etc. The schools were similar to the old ones as well but they focused more on pushing the next generations of future Knights, mages, and future guild owners. That was 3 years ago, while I was 13 years old. Seeing the world change over the past few years made me realize one thing. I wanted to rise to the top, own the strongest Guild in the world, and go on quests while raiding dungeons with my friends of course. With that being said my birthday was today, March 2, 2023, and I just turned 16 years old, the moment was now to seize the day and chase my dreams My name is Charlie Rex-Auxilium, Time to surpass the limits, and become Guild Master Number 1.
