WATTY AWARD WINNER OF 2015 - #JustWriteIt Challenge ✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾ The hero of her dreams was too bad to be true. ✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾✾ Villain Academy; where all the psychotic teenagers are trained to be the world's best villains. Try being the baddest of them all when the Puberty Truck is smacking you in the face--repeatedly. It's a hard time for young, attractive villains who haven't reached eighteen. And you'd think they already have enough to deal with when their worst urban legend fear appears: The Hero. So isolating evil-minded, puberty-hitting, aggressive teenagers into a confined brick building may not be the most intelligent choice of mankind. It was inevitable for there to be one hell of a problem. And that problem was me.

Gabriel didn't know what hit him. One moment, he was staring at his lovely date, and the next, she was pulling out a gun and shooting random men on the street. The first, she shot in the head. He had a black suit on, as if he just came from a meeting. There was a calamari vendor who was dipping squid rings on a batter before frying it. She shot him in the chest. Without batting an eye, she cocked her gun and shot in the guts a Fine Arts student crossing the street. He stared aghast at his date, who calmly tucked her gun back into her bag as if she did nothing out of the ordinary. 'Oh, yeah. I shoot random men while sipping on a hot cup of overpriced coffee. Just felt like it, you know? Oh, would you like some more sugar on your latte?' Gabriel shook his head to clear his mind off the crazy thought. He swallowed the huge lump in his throat and gaped at Selina. “What the heck?!” he screamed when he was able to find his voice. Selina turned to Gabriel and smiled. “You saw that? Good. You’re the seventh Candidate. Come with me.” With that, Gabriel gets thrown into a wild adventure involving Guardians (who are neither angels nor spirits) and their never-ending war against the demons that ravage all the Worlds—both visible and invisible. As he journeys with newfound, if albeit weird and cranky allies, he learns more about himself, his elusive past, his destiny and ultimately finds out what it means to be a true Champion—and maybe find love in the process, too. **"Champions" is a published and fast-selling book in the Philippines.

Alta Williams, a research intern at the biomedical plant that saved her life after a horrific accident, is helping Dr. Bryan Engel with the development of bioLungs, a breakthrough in modern medicine. The invention is projected to be implanted in every newborn and adult of applicable health and age, as the Earth's breathable air is in jeopardy, and human and animal lungs are not evolving fast enough to combat the increased levels of toxic air. While on duty one night and working on the artificial lung's second generation prototype, Alta's hand suddenly and irrationally fuses to the keyboard she is using. At first she thinks that her bioSkin is malfunctioning. Instead, she discovers that an anomaly in the system, the reject coding of the program 'DNA' is trying to make contact. The computer DNA is sentient and has been looking for an organic host. Since Alta's entire body is made up of bioCells, her body works as a sort of motherboard, and DNA chooses her to take on a mission to stop the corruption of NanoTech, the company Alta works for. DNA merges into Alta's body, supercharging her cells' genetic code, and with DNA's ability to copy the genetic code of any extinct or living creature on scientific record, Alta effectively gains super powers. All DNA asks in exchange is that she stop the corruption he sees occurring within the biomedical facility. Armed with DNA, Alta has the power to fix corrupted bioImplants before they are used to kill the patients they are inside, or used for power plays... but the question remains: Can Alta, whose entire flesh is made up of NanoTech cells, be corrupted if they find out her secret?
