Effortless

Julius didn’t know what to expect when he stood in front of the grandiose gates, luscious fields, and beautiful students dressed in their pristine uniforms looking like a million bucks. He told himself that he wouldn’t get involved with anyone and that he’d keep his head down since the chances of him moving again were quite high. He didn’t expect to find himself to be so entranced with the dorm leader Agares Montgomery, the most handsome boy he’d ever seen. “So what’s Agares really like?” Julius asked. Silas grinned mischievously. “That’s a tough one.” Julius noticed the sly smile on Silas’s face and realized he’d been teased. “Just kidding~” Silas said, chuckling. “Well, Agares is a bit of a mystery. He’s strict but has a laid-back side too. He’s cold most of the time but can be surprisingly kind in rare moments?” Julius couldn’t help but laugh at the contradictory description. “Why do you make it sound like you’re unsure?” “Because he really is a puzzle. He’s not a bad guy, though. He keeps to himself and mainly communicates through the vice leader, Epaphras. He’s insanely popular, not just here but at Saint Ambracia Academy too. There have been incidents where girls from the academy tried to sneak into East Laurence just to see him. It’s crazy.” “Anyway,” Silas said, “you probably won’t interact with him much unless absolutely necessary, so don’t stress too much about it.” That should’ve been the case, and yet, he found himself interacting with the dark haired boy more and more, his admiration slowly started to change into something more. “Do I like him?” He couldn’t help but ask himself. …………………..

Sebastian is called by many different names: lunatic, madman, crazy, and a monster.  
Pretending to be human is an effortless task; calculating and flirtatious is a mask he carries for centuries, playing with the lives of those around him as if they’re just a game. 
His closed heart never lets anyone in, keeping a distance from anyone except for his annoying family, who live and protect each other. Despite having a dysfunctional, crazy family yet being regarded with suspicion and dread, his heart longs for more.  
On that fateful night, he never thought it was possible for him to have another emotional connection.  
A young, feral boy carrying a hunter-knife is surrounded by blood, snow, and dead wolves in the forest. Why does his youthful body carry a grotesque canvas of scars like they tell a gruesome past? Why do his eyes carry a heavy burden that's too young for a human? Or is he a human in the first place? 
As he gets to know the bratty Atlas, who angers him and challenges him, test him to the limits. If it was anyone else, he would not hesitate sending them to their grave.  Soon, he would learn that Atlas carries a heavy, dark secret, where Sebastian had to look for an answer in Atlas's past and must decide if he's worth protecting.  ***

Tara couldn’t believe her bad luck. Out of all the people looking for a roommate, she ended up with her boss, Selena. Selena—known for her sharp wit, enchanting looks, and a rumored history with a few past coworkers—had a reputation as the office “temptress.” Watching Selena move with that effortless allure, Tara silently vowed to keep a safe, respectful distance. But on the very first night of living together, that same untouchable boss ended up sleepwalking… right into Tara’s room, wrapping herself around her with surprising softness and refusing to let go, nestled into Tara’s chest as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Keeping her calm, Tara gingerly extricated herself, stepped onto the balcony, and drank a full glass of ice water—despite the frigid winter temperatures. “She’s straight. You’re just roommates. Don’t even think about catching feelings,” Tara told herself, hoping her resolve would hold. But Selena seemed determined to ignore any “distance.” After dodging yet another one of Selena’s friendly but borderline flirtatious invitations, Tara found herself cornered in the underground parking lot after work. Under the dim lights, Selena’s eyes sparkled with a hint of red at the corners. “Are you like everyone else? Do you hate me?” she asked, her voice tinged with unexpected hurt, a stubbornness that was oddly… sweet. The usual polite words Tara had on hand somehow lodged in her throat. Flustered, she stammered, “No… I’m just scared I might fall for you.” Selena had a secret: she was totally smitten with the company’s new intern. There was something about Tara’s quiet warmth and that little spark of defiance that pulled Selena in. So much so, that Selena willingly traded her comfortable apartment for a cramped 700-square-foot rental—just to be closer to her crush. She even went out of her way to “accidentally” create situations that would draw them together. But her darling intern remained unmoved, cool and reserved, her demeanor bordering on chilly. When a close friend pointed out that no one wants to room with their boss, saying, “Living with your boss just feels like working overtime every night,” Selena pouted but couldn’t deny it. Resting her head against Tara’s shoulder, Selena couldn’t help but think, Too true… I do have her working ‘overtime’ every night.

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.

ALTNF 1 Ben Cariaga's POV "Ano na, asan ka na?" Sabi ko dahil hindi ko na talaga siya makita. Asan na ba siya? Masyado nang mataas ang narating niya! Mamaya mahulog to eh. "Wait, teka lang babi! Ang kati ng likod ko. Jan ka lang!" Sigaw niya mula sa itaas ng puno. Sa totoo lang, kanina pa ako nangangalay dito. Paano ba naman, kanina ko pa bitbit ang pagkalaki-laking bayong na 'to na naglalaman ng mangga. Yep, nasa mango-hunting kami ngayon ni Kristal. "Ano na bes? Nakakangalay na! Asan ka ba? You are nowhere to be found!" Sigaw ko. "Nandito ako, look!" Hinanap ko siya sa itaas pero hindi ko talaga siya makita. Masyado kasing maraming sanga ang nakaharang. Maya-maya ay may ginalaw-galaw siyang mga sanga at hinanap ko iyon. Nang makita ko ito ay ako ang nalula sa sobrang taas. "Hala Kristal! Gagi ka ba? Ang taas mo masyado! Bumaba ka na dyan, bago ka pa mahulog at masisi pa ako ng masungit mong mudrakels dahil ako ang nagpaakyat sa'yo dyan!" Sigaw ko sa kanya. "Babi, magtiwala ka sa akin. Kaya ko 'to. Ang dami kaya dito. Ready mo na yang bayong, dali!" Sabi niya. I frowned. Ano ba 'yan, bigat na bigat na nga ako dito tas biglang change location. Huhu. Hinanda ko na ang dala-dala kong bayong. Tama siya, ang dami ngang bunga ng mangga sa pwesto niya. Kumpul-kumpol at malalaki na. Sana lang hindi pa hinog ang mga 'yam. "Kris, ang dami masyado. Bawasan mo. Baka sa ulo ko tumama 'yan imbes na shumoot sa bayong." She chuckled, "Ok." At hinulog na niya isa-isa yung mga mangga. Marami-rami rin kaming nakuha. No, marami talaga kaming nakuha. Samantalang kami lang din naman ni Kristal ang mangangain nito. You know, summer. Ang sarap ng may mangangata. "Marami rin tayong nakuha. Tirahan natin si kuya Japs ng lima." Sabi ko. Bumaba na si Kristal sa ng puno nang walang kahirap-hirap. Taong unggoy 'yan eh. Kayang umakyat ng puno kahit gaano kataas ng effortless. Kahit maliit na babae yan si Kristal wag mong mamaliitin yan. Maraming 'yang kayang gawin sa buhay. "Tatlo lang? Gawin mo nang sampu." Sabi niya. I gave her a meaningful look, "Ok, ok, fine, fine. Crush mo eh." "Huh? C-crush ka diyan, wala akong crush no." She said, blushing. "Asus, oke, sabi mo eh." Sabi ko naman. Nagligpit na kami ng mga pinanguha namin at umuwi na rin kami. Bago ang lahat. Ben Cariaga ang pangalan ko. Si Kristal naman itong kasama ko. Kristal used to call me "Babi" dahil, wala lang. Trip lang daw niya. Kami 'yung tipong unexpected best friends kasi pagkalipat na pagkalipat nila dito, inapproach niya kaagad ako. Then ayun, instant BFFs. Minsan tinanong niya ako if I'm a gay. Napansin niya daw sa behaviour ko at way ko ng pagsasalita.

The darkness wrapped around him like a blanket, the air thick with the earthy scent of stone and dampness. His eyelids fluttered, his mind still drifting between the haze of dreams and the sudden sharpness of reality. Where am I? He groaned, the sound echoing around him, and blinked his eyes open. Above him, jagged rock formations jutted out, the ceiling of a cave — a dark, ominous cavern that seemed to stretch infinitely in all directions. A cave? He wasn’t sure how he knew that, but somehow, the realization struck like it had always been true. His body felt… strange. Heavy and light at the same time. Solid. Strong. He raised a hand, expecting the dull ache of stiff muscles, but instead, the movement felt effortless. His fingers moved with precision, almost robotic in their exactness. He pulled himself up, feeling the raw power in his limbs. What is happening to me? His heart raced, but there was no fear — only curiosity. P.S. This is a FAN FICTION... I don't know how to change it I accidentally pressed Novel...

" a wisp of silk in a forest of black wool " Angelique Arcane spelt heartbreak. She had men and women falling to her feet like dominos only for their hearts to be crushed beneath her red soled stelletos with no remorse. Everything seemed effortless to her and tangling words into a mesh of lies was second nature. But she never knew another person with the same cyanide tongue who could defy her, up until she stepped into Crowndale university where Asher Roosevelt was hell bent on destroying her. ____________ Excerpt: His fingers grasped her forearms, a bruising grip as he wrenched Angelique closer causing her to crash against his iron hard body, one hand tangled itself into her hair, pulling lightly at the roots as he tilted her head to a side and leaned forward. Asher's lips were a hair's breath away from the shell of her ear, breath warm, a stark contrast to how chilled his words were "You wouldn't want to mess with me, Arcane." Angelique's heartbeat spiked but she didn't manifest it, rather veiling it under a confident facade as she fisted her slender fingers on his shirt, crumpling it "Maybe you wouldn't want to mess with me, Roosevelt." He inclined back, just enough to lock his gaze on the challenger, after all, Asher Roosevelt loved challenges. They entertained him, kept him from getting bored.
