I had one plan for freshman year: be invisible. No drama. No disasters. No orange. I failed within the first thirty minutes. Late to orientation, soaked in sweat, and wearing the most aggressively orange polo known to mankind, I walked into a room of two hundred freshmen and a Brother who called me "Sunset." Then Pauline Abad, Freshman Batch Representative and certified overachiever, looked at me. Not with laughter. But with a quiet, devastating disappointment. That was just Day One. Set in 2006 at Sanctuary of the Hills Academy, Mr. Bad Timing is a story about the names you never asked for, the girl who made yours stick, and the freshman year that refused to let me disappear. Note: This series has 5 volumes with 10 chapters each. I'm releasing Vol. 1 chapters one at a time as I'm translating each chapter into Filipino/Taglish. NEW SCHEDULE: Chapters are released Mondays, 10 AM GMT +8

Nearly twenty years in the fighting pits taught me three things: trust no one, keep your blades sharp, and never let them see you bleed. Then House Ravilon bought me. Now I'm surrounded by five fae males who think they can crack me open. Axlan with his easy charm and protective streak. Silas and his silence, keeping secrets that set my teeth on edge. Reyker, whose training sessions feel like actual combat. Lysander, whose questions cut deeper than blades. And...Finley, the house heir who gives orders like breathing. They say I'm being trained for elite tournaments. They're lying. There's something else going on. Something in the way they move around me, like I'm worth protecting. When my body betrays me with desires I didn't know I could feel, the real game becomes clear. They don't just want my skill in the arena. They want everything. I've spent decades building walls that could stop armies. But these five aren't attacking from the outside. They're making me want to tear the walls down myself. "Their Warrior" is the first book in The Thirteenth House Series. It is a "why choose"/ reverse harem romantic fantasy where the deadliest opponent might be your own heart. **Please see the author's note for trigger warnings and posting details**
