Classic Victorian Gothic

Na-Isekai Ako

Katherine, formerly known as Nora in her past life, wakes up from a week-long coma to find herself in the body of a young noblewoman in Albania. But there’s a catch—she's not the star of the show. Nope, she’s just a minor character in a famous classical novel she once read. Not even mentioned by name! At first, Katherine wonders if this is some bizarre dream or if she’ll find a way to go back to her old life. But as the days drag on, she starts to accept the reality that this might be her new normal. Should she keep hunting for an escape, or is it time to roll with the punches and embrace the strange nobility life? The plot is supposed to follow the book’s twists and turns, but there are unexpected hiccups along the way. And, oh, the villain—the one person who absolutely shouldn’t be interested in her—seems way too curious. With her future up in the air and no clear direction, Katherine must figure out how to navigate this world, all while avoiding drama and keeping her head down (though that might be a bit hard when the villain is suddenly paying attention). Blending Filipino culture references with modern pop culture nods, "Na-isekai ako" offers a fresh and lighthearted take on the isekai genre, reimagining a beloved classic with humor, heart, and a touch of unexpected chaos. Get ready to get isekai’d! *winks* English Title: I Got Isekai’d A Filipino Novel-Inspired Creation with an Isekai Twist! Disclaimer: Florante and Laura is an original work by Francisco Balagtas and is considered one of the masterpieces of Philippine literature.

The Pillar

In a world where reality morphs into a waking nightmare, a young man is torn from modern comforts and thrust into a perilous, shadowy realm. He awakens in ancient ruins within a forest filled with living plants that appear to watch him. Clad in unfamiliar Victorian clothing and with no memory of his arrival, he faces a desperate struggle for survival against grotesque, otherworldly monsters. A terrifying encounter forces him to flee, leading him to a mysterious pillar among the ruins. Unlike anything else in this eerie place, the pillar seems to ward off the horrors lurking around. In search of answers, he touches it, triggering a series of events that shatter his grasp on reality. He is instantly transported to a vast battlefield strewn with colossal gates and shattered mountains—a testament to an ancient war between unimaginable forces. The ruins bear cryptic symbols offering glimpses of forbidden knowledge. Driven by curiosity, he pushes against the gates, only to endure excruciating pain as he nears death, before being pulled into a chasm of darkness. Yet, death spares him. He awakens in a tranquil, otherworldly void, surrounded by luminous pillars of light beneath an infinite cosmos. His broken body is miraculously healed, drawing him toward an awe-inspiring throne. Compelled by an unseen force, he sits, and in that instant, the stars, galaxies, and secrets of the universe flood into him, unlocking a power that could shape his destiny in unimaginable ways. As he struggles to understand his newfound strength, questions arise: What is this strange realm? Who, or what, brought him here? With each revelation, he delves deeper into the mysteries of this enigmatic world. Are the horrors he faces mere fragments of a greater truth? Or is he the key to a conflict older and grander than he can fathom? One thing is clear: this is no ordinary survival journey. It is a narrative of power, gods, and the fragile balance of worlds—where the truths he seeks might cost him everything he cherishes.
