#SurvivalRomance #ForcedProximity #Fast-paced BOUGHT BY WATTPAD WEBTOON STUDIOS FOR PUBLISHING/MOVIE DEALS!!! (Contract expired September, 2025) Winner of the Wattys 2020 Award Plot: In 1974, the mysterious cult's mass kidnapping and ritualistic killing led to the summoning of the Shade-a paranormal entity of living shadow. Ever since then, starting in October in Bastillio-a city in the Philippines steeped in history and superstition-the Shade would be seen haunting twelve teenagers at night throughout the month, often resulting in their deaths. But the discovery of U.V. lights as a deterrent from the Shade led the government to establish a system to contain the Shade's threat. Fast forward to 2025, twenty years after the system had successfully prevented any more deaths, the media and global firestorm surrounding the phenomenon died down. So when sixteen-year-old Vergil Torres was identified as one of the twelve and was immediately brought to Biringan-the government shelter where haunteds like him would stay for the month-he was more excited than scared for his life. But the gruesome and inexplicable death of one of them during their stay in the supposedly safe house renews the horror of the Shade. Vergil, together with his classmate and fellow haunted, the "traditional morena beauty" Cana Bernardo, decided to get to the bottom of it. The two classmates who were indifferent to each other must now work together if they are to survive through the month.

Most of the time, gamers like to keep a secret identity. And there's always that slim chance that they've met each other in the real world, but they are unaware of that. ••• In an MMORPG called Divine spring, XxDreadfulGamerxX and WhatAnAngel are inseperable friends that spend hours playing together. And even though they spend so much time playing together, they know absolutely nothing about each others personal information. Well, in the real world, XxDreadfulGamerxX is a nerd with big framed eyeglasses named Theodore (Theo) Blair. While WhatAnAngel, whose real name was Lydia Hill, was an "ideal" and popular girl who kept the fact that she was a gaming nerd a secret. And both go to the same school without knowing it.
