We follow the compelling journey of Valenus, a person burdened by the weight of personal challenges, most notably the illness of their father. At home, Valenus is engulfed in a sea of guilt and responsibility, constantly struggling to find a balance between their personal anguish and the needs of their family.... more>>

Amidst this emotional turmoil, Valenus seeks a momentary escape from the oppressive realities of his situation, tirelessly searching for something, anything, that could provide a distraction, yet each attempt seems to lead nowhere.

In an unexpected turn of events, Valenus encounter a seemingly ordinary video game, discarded and forgotten on the ground. Driven by curiosity and a desperate need for distraction, Valenus takes the game home. Little do they know, this game is far from ordinary.

Upon starting the game, Valenus is suddenly and inexplicably transported into its virtual world. This is no mere coincidence; the game, as if alive with purpose, has chosen Valenus.

Now, within this new reality, Valenus is forced to adapt to an environment where fantasy and danger coexist.

In this game world, Valenus faces a myriad of challenges and formidable monsters.

Each obstacle pushes Valenus to the brink, demanding ingenuity, courage, and resilience.

"Worlds Beneath The Shadows" is a story of escape and return, of facing one's fears in a world where the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and where a person's true strength is often found in the most unlikely of places. <<less

It wasn't on purpose.... more>>

When Maria stole a peculiar book from one of her classmates, she thought nothing of it since her classmate didn't seem too fond of reading; Maria thought she could get away with it, however, she never expected the book to hold such secrets.

Working as a barista in the city of Quezon, Maria discovers that not only was the book she had once read predicting the end of the world, but her old pocket watch was the key to figuring out its secrets.

Before she knew it, chaos started to unfold, claiming the lives of thousands as deadly games began to appear all over the world, forcing humans to become players to survive.

Maria never imagined that an old book series could lead to such catastrophes. Can a book with hundreds of pages stacked together— really be the sole reason for the end of humanity?

Left with no other choice, Maria uses her knowledge from the books to navigate through the looming perils before her. With the desire to meet the beings that heralded the world's end and uncover the mysteries shrouding her books, Maria strove to survive and adapt to her new reality, even if it meant being tangled between life and death.

In a world brimming with tales, akin to the multitude of stars gleaming in the nocturnal skies or the depths of the vast ocean yet to be explored, the story of searching for one's ending begins...

A world of swords and magic, where the strong survive and the weak... revive. A world in which one's strength is determined not by birth, but by skill, creativity, gear, luck, skills, and your class. A world where your imagination is the limit, unless the sadistic system decides to say "haha nope" for no reason. ... more>>

There're more hidden mechanics and aspects of this world than anyone can imagine, each with the power to overthrow any semblance of balance in nature or in society. What happens when such a thing lands in the hands of a weak, depressed, and lost teen, who is almost entirely uninterested in this world?

And when the Demon Lord wants to have fun at the expense of the human race, what better way than to get them to kill one another and, in doing so, turn them into demon-like beings? Perhaps make them fall into a sense of complacency before shattering their hopes, dreams, and peaceful lives with such a death game?

Updates will be slow and sporadic (you can see when each of the chapters was released so far, it'll be like that in the future too lol), due to long-term health issues. I write as a means to pass the time when I'm up for it, so if I'm feeling bad, I might not even get a single word into my drafts for a month or two, but I'm not dropping this or my other main project, ever.
On a different note, I have plans for 6 books of this story, so... we're in for a long one here. <<less
