Fool For Poetry International Chapbook Competition

You know what’s unfair? For years, I dreamed about adventure—magic, monsters, heroes, all that good stuff. I imagined grand battles, epic quests, worlds filled with mystery. And then the world actually decided to go full apocalypse. Did it give me a cool prophecy? A legendary weapon? A warning? Nope. Just dumped me into chaos with nothing but my sharp wit and questionable survival instincts. Fine. I can play this game. Here's the guide I created to survive the apocalypse: Rule #1: Find a protagonist. Because let’s be honest, I am not main character material. Main characters are strong, serious, and burdened by fate. I, on the other hand, have spent my entire life dodging effort like it’s a contagious disease. Rule #2: If your protagonist has amnesia, you are screwed. Guess what? Mine does. The regressor, the guy who was supposed to have all the answers, keeps squinting at the apocalypse like it’s an old TV show he barely remembers. “This looks familiar…” Yes, genius, because we’re about to die in it! So now I have to think. Not normal thinking—fool’s logic. The kind of thinking that makes no sense but works anyway. And if that fails? I’ll talk my way out. Monsters? Negotiate. Villains? Trash-talk them until they cry. Death itself? Well, I’ll try to convince it that I’m not worth the effort. And if I die? At least I’ll go out proving that fools always find a way. ______ ___ _ [ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

Leo Ybanez was just another struggling intern in Manila, overworked and underpaid in a collapsing tech startup. But everything changed when he suddenly activated the BlackTech System, granting him a daily sign-in reward of advanced black technology—far beyond anything on the market. His first reward? A ₱500 million smart penthouse, complete with AI automation, futuristic appliances, and security systems that would make even billionaires envious. But while he now lived in luxury, he was still dead broke—unable to sell system-generated assets for cash. That all changed when he signed in again and received TrueSight Magic Mirror—a revolutionary software capable of removing all makeup, filters, and even plastic surgery to reveal a person’s true appearance. Seeing an opportunity, Leo launched it as a paid service, unknowingly setting off a global beauty industry upheaval. As his software spreads like wildfire, celebrities, influencers, and scammers panic, while tech giants and billion-dollar corporations scramble to either buy him out or destroy him. But this is just the beginning. With the system continuously gifting him groundbreaking AI, untraceable hacking tools, bio-enhancements, and weapons-grade nanotechnology, Leo quickly transforms from a broke intern into a shadow ruler of the tech world. Now, the world is watching. Governments, secret organizations, and corporate elites either want to control him or eliminate him. But Leo has his own plans. From monopolizing futuristic industries to dominating the digital and financial world, he’s not just here to survive. He’s here to take over.

Hi, Please this book would be republished under the same title and cover. Thank You. ********* Darragh Gallagher, the first son of the president, has heard a number of hush-hush rumours about his wife, so he disguised himself as a substitute bodyguard to see what he could find out, only for the dumb younger sister to lay a false claim on him as the one responsible for her pregnancy, making him lose his job on the first day. But what happens when both he and his mother could hear the girl's thoughts and both of them end up doing everything that she wanted? What happens then when they find out the truth about the real father of her babies through her thoughts? What are they going to do then? Just what are the odds? *************************** Kenia's mother-in-law threatened to bring another wife for her son because she has been unable to give her a grandchild. After several trying but still failing to conceive for her husband of three years, Kenia tricked her teenage sister into becoming a surrogate mother for her husband in secret. But after she too became pregnant weeks later, she decided to get rid of her sister and the bastard in her womb altogether. * 1524 In an attempt to help her sister, Catriona Byrne became the catalyst that sent her to an early death.  At the gallows for her own dismemberment after avenging her, Catriona smiled as she happily awaited the swift death.  But being reincarnated into the pregnant body of her sister in a new world was something that Cat could never imagine. So, not wanting to face the same fate as the host body, she decided to find a new father for her baby. And that was why she pointed to her father's new bodyguard as the one responsible for her pregnancy. ******************** Note: This author would not give warnings for any scene in the book. So please make sure that you're in the right frame of mind before you start reading.  Thank you and sorry in advance.

The apocalypse is here, and it’s so overdone. Monsters? Check. Burning sky? Check. Random system that gives you powers but also wants your firstborn? Double check. In the middle of this mess are two guys who couldn’t be more mismatched if they tried: The Fool: A guy who’s spent his life perfecting the art of doing nothing. His resume includes “professional procrastinator”, “class clown”, “expert nap taker”, etc... Now he’s got to survive an apocalypse that didn’t even give him a heads-up. How rude. The Regressor: A guy who’s lived through the end of the world more times than he can count. Literally. Because he forgot. Now he’s just a brooding mess with a leather jacket and zero useful advice. When the fool realizes his classmate is a regressor, he’s like, “Great. I’m stuck with the guy who’s seen it all but remembers none of it. This’ll go well.” Yet, they will still group up and face trials that test their sanity more than their skills. But as the so-called End demands more blood and the regressor’s memories start to resurface, they realize the real apocalypse might be their inability to agree on where to hide. Fool: "Let’s hide in the basement!" Regressor: "Basements are death traps. We should go to the roof." Fool: "Roofs are for dramatic exits. I’m not dying for aesthetics!" Anyway, can a lazy dreamer and an amnesiac hero save the world? Probably not. But hey, at least they’ll have a good story to tell—if they survive. ________ __ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

Hermia blinked, caught off guard. “So it has to be marriage?” she asked, her tone laced with disbelief. “Yes,” he deadpanned, not a hint of hesitation in his voice. Her frustration bubbled over. “But we don’t even know each other!” she whined, throwing her hands up in exasperation. Niklaus leaned forward, his dark eyes gleaming. “I don’t need to know you, Mia,” he said, his voice dipping into a deep, dangerous tone. “When I can feel you… that’s enough for me.” She inhaled sharply, her heart hammering in her chest. “That’s not enough for me,” she countered, her voice firm but trembling slightly. His expression softened, and his next words wrapped around her like a promise. “I would forever cherish you, adore you, and treat you like the rarest gem. I would never let you shed a single tear of pain.” Her resolve wavered, but she shook her head and pushed back. “We’re not getting married, Shark. Just go.” But instead of leaving, he smirked, leaning back with a confidence that rattled her. “I’ll be waiting.” Hermia groaned, exasperated. “Nik, you’re hardly doing any waiting. You’re all over me! We live together, work together, eat together—you’re always here!” Niklaus’s voice dropped to a whisper, raw and pleading. “Then just keep me forever, Mia.” She froze, his honest, vulnerable eyes piercing through every defense she had built. Her heart quivered as she felt the weight of his words sink in. She didn’t know what to do. >>>>>>>> To the world, Niklaus Hathaway is ruthless—a man who takes what he wants, no matter the cost. But for Hermia, the girl who’s lost everything, he’s something else entirely: her unlikely savior whom she couldn’t blindly trust. He’s ruthless to everyone—except her. Niklaus Hathaway doesn’t date. He doesn’t waste time. He only wants what’s his. When Hermia steps into his life, he makes one thing clear: if she won’t marry him, she’ll work for him.

With an evil stepsister and manipulative parents determined to ruin her happiness, Hermia must fight for her place in a world that seems determined to push her out. Niklaus declared her his from the beginning—and he’ll stop at nothing to protect her, no matter the cost Love has never been this dangerous.
