Stalker Fantasma (English Version) The story blends fantasy and reality, aimed at readers over the age of 16 and containing sensitive content for some. There is horror and delicate themes that the narrative explores. The plot centers around a family with hidden secrets and a teenager named Pablo, who ends up dealing with a stalker. This stalker will lead Pablo to better understand his family’s secrets. It is a story that addresses spirituality, teaching that we are all spirits and that the greatest value in life lies in love and the ability to understand others. The book addresses the diversity of genders and sexual orientations, not limited to the heterosexual standard. It explains that a person's sexuality does not define their spirituality or character, as LGBTQIA+ people can also be loving, virtuous, and spiritually evolved. One of the explanations offered is that homosexuality may be an expression of the sexuality of someone who reincarnates in a body different from their previous gender. This does not mean that the person is "inferior" or "sinful"; it merely represents the diversity of the human experience. The text strongly emphasizes the need to respect and love all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Prejudice and discrimination are seen as primitive attitudes and signs of spiritual delay. Furthermore, it is mentioned that some homosexual mediums may have greater ease in connecting with higher spirits due to their sensitivity and affability. An important point is that sexuality does not define a person's spiritual health. Vices, hatred, pride, and arrogance are seen as far more harmful than homosexuality or bisexuality. It is also highlighted that parents should love and accept their LGBTQIA+ children just as they would their heterosexual children, as all are equal in the eyes of God. Pedro Henrique writes this book to show the importance of overcoming societal prejudice and ideologies. Love is the purest essence of happiness; neither time nor distance can break the true meaning of love. The book highlights how important it is to accept others as they feel best, teaches forgiveness, and shows that everyone has their own perspective on life. However, respect is essential. This book is dedicated to the mysteries between life and death, as we often forget that one day we are born and that one day we will leave this plane. I ask you a question: if you had the chance to be born multiple times to correct a mistake, would you do it?

So maybe 300 or more? Second, this one is considered as Yuri, GL Third, I'll be using real-life aviation movements during dogfights (please correct me if I'm inaccurate). Fourth, there would be sensitive materials such as brutal scenes, gore, and sex scenes (I mean it). Finally, there would be YouTube links at the beginning of each chapter that would recommend music that I handpicked so you could feel the atmosphere of the chapter. *I do not own any of the music, if you are the creator and you want me to remove them, feel free to comment, and I shall do so [This original novel is highly inspired by various materials such as star wars, mass effect, stellaris, and my own love for space]
