“All I wanted was a good deal on a used power bank. Instead, I fell into another world wearing pambahay and a hoodie that still smells like Tondo.” Sixto “Pepito” Espiritu wasn’t planning to become the next Isekai poster boy. He just wanted to survive Manila, help his Lola, and maybe start a small online business. But one unexpected delivery later, he finds himself in Sarimanook, a coastal town filled with talking bracelets, mysterious shell-sellers, and fairies who can summon lightning with sass. Armed only with his wits, solar chargers, and an uncanny ability to make friends in weird places, Pepito sets out to build a life in this new world. But in a land where myth and magic are currency, and dragons cry for their missing children, his ordinary kindness might just change everything.

Beneath Emerald Skies. A Novel of Redemption, Passion, and Unbreakable Love. Melissa Vauhn has everything—wealth, beauty, privilege. Born into the opulent world of Ireland’s elite as the only daughter of billionaire tycoons James and Candice Vauhn, her life sparkles on the surface. But beneath the glitter lies a darker truth: Melissa is drowning in a spiral of parties, addiction, and self-destruction, leaving her parents heartbroken and helpless. Enter David, a brilliant, calm, and quietly charismatic African scholarship student studying engineering at Melissa’s university. Their paths cross under unlikely—and almost fateful—circumstances, igniting a connection that challenges everything Melissa thought she knew about love, strength, and self-worth. With his unwavering standards and soulful presence, David becomes both her mirror and her compass, guiding her through the chaos toward something she never imagined: healing. But just as Melissa begins her journey of transformation, a new threat emerges—Sierra, a beautiful and ambitious classmate from the United States who’s harboured a long, unreciprocated crush on David. Jealousy turns dangerous as Sierra sets her sights on sabotaging the blossoming romance. As silent rivalry erupts into confrontation, Melissa must decide how far she’s willing to fight for the man who helped her find herself. Spanning the emerald coasts of Ireland to the vibrant heart of Africa, Beneath Emerald Skies is a sweeping, sensual love story about second chances, cultural bridges, and the courage to rewrite your story—even when the world says it’s too late.

Sehyeok returns to his hometown, Tondo, after years of absence — not for answers, but for silence. He rents a small room above an old bakery, works at a sleepy art center, and takes a strange orange bus that never follows a schedule. He starts noticing Inu, bus driver — a quiet young man with simple clothes and unreadable eyes. They barely speak. Just shared rides. As spring slowly unfolds across the streets of Tondo, Sehyeok finds himself thinking more and more about him — and about the person he left behind. Maybe the city is offering him a second chance. Or maybe it’s just taking him along a route that ends where “he” begins.

In a world where magical beasts roam the land and hunters are humanity’s last line of defense, the Philippines has become a patchwork of sanctuaries and danger zones. Hunters are classified into ranks—E to the legendary S. The higher the rank, the greater the strength, magical prowess, and fame. Yet for Joshua "Josh" Villanueva, life at the lowest rung, below even E Rank, is bleak. Talentless, cursed, and constantly overlooked, he is mocked as "The Forgotten Hunter." Josh hails from the slums of Tondo, Manila, a region teetering between safety and chaos. Struggling to make ends meet, he risks his life as a scavenger in low-level dungeons that appear across the archipelago. Despite countless failures, a strange relic buried in the ruins of Corregidor Island chooses him during one harrowing expedition. Little does Josh know, this ancient artifact—called the *Diwata’s Heirloom*—possesses a dormant, forbidden power tied to the country’s ancient myths and gods. As the relic awakens, Josh begins to unlock abilities unlike any hunter has ever seen. His newfound power stems not from conventional training or talent but from unraveling the secrets of precolonial lore. To rise through the ranks, he must journey across the Philippines: from the enchanted forests of Siquijor to the volcanic depths of Mayon, all while navigating alliances, rivalries, and the whispers of a prophecy surrounding the return of a forgotten god. But the cost of power is steep, and as Josh climbs the hunter ranks—E, D, C, B, A, and beyond—he discovers the true meaning of strength lies not just in defeating monsters but in uniting a fractured people against an impending cataclysm. ---

Jericho was born and raised in the slums of Tondo, a gritty neighborhood in the Philippines known for its poverty and crime. Despite the odds against him, Jericho was determined to make something of himself. He worked hard and soon rose through the ranks of the local street gangs, using his cunning and charisma to gain the respect of those around him. As he gained more power and influence, Jericho saw a chance to take control of the criminal underworld of Tondo. He formed a network of loyal followers and began to expand his reach, using his street smarts and brutal tactics to eliminate anyone who stood in his way. Before long, Jericho had become the most feared man in Tondo. He ruled the streets with an iron fist and his word was law. But despite his newfound power, Jericho was still haunted by the poverty and hardship of his childhood. He knew that he could never forget where he came from, and he used his newfound wealth to help those in need in his community. However, with great power came great danger. Jericho was constantly wary of those who would betray him, and he was forced to make difficult decisions to protect himself and his empire. He surrounded himself with trusted lieutenants, but he also knew that even they could not be trusted completely. One day, Jericho's worst fears were realized. One of his closest allies betrayed him, teaming up with a rival gang to take down the Tondo Mafia once and for all. Jericho was caught off guard and was forced to flee for his life. But Jericho was not a man to be underestimated. He regrouped and mounted a counterattack, using all of his resources and cunning to reclaim his power and defeat his enemies. In the end, Jericho emerged as the undisputed ruler of Tondo, with a reputation that was feared by all. Despite his success, Jericho remained a man of contradictions. He was both a ruthless criminal and a compassionate leader, a man who had risen from the slums to rule the city, but who was still haunted by his past. In the end, he was a reminder that in the world of power, poverty, and betrayal, anything is possible.

Suyen escape the Chinese armies together with her aides and find her temporary shelter. Fueled by the loss of her parents, their home, and the unjustice they've got, she trained herself hard to enable herself with skill to avenge her parents and get back what was truly theirs. But what if love came in? And to a man who was her mortal enemy? The son of the now governor-general of Tondo?
