Ciel keeps his world muted, careful not to let anyone see the colors he hides beneath. Not until Cyan brings a quiet light that spills like color across Ciel's hidden corners- soft, impossible to ignore, slowly painting the shades he had tried to keep in shadow. Through shared glances, hesitant trust, and the unspoken understanding that grows between them, they find themselves drawn closer. But what happens when being seen feels just as terrifying as being hidden?

Rocket Grimalde is the not-so-known playboy of Eastern Hills International School. Sa kabila ng reputasyon nito bilang dakilang palikero, the school never heard his exes bad-mouth him. Wala itong naging reklamo sa lalaki bukod sa mabilisan nitong pakikipaghiwalay sa kanila. They want more from him, but he don't. He wants another. He wants Blythe Ong, ang star student ng Humanities strand. Sa lahat ng niligawan niya, ito lang ang pinakamakipot sa lahat. He persuaded her persistently pero binasted lang siya nito sa huli. Ang rason? Bobo daw siya. And Rocket is determined to make her realize how wrong she was. He's not dumb. He's far from that and only Ville Abellar, the well-known brainy bayaran ng school nila, ang makakatulong sa kanya. Will Rocket ever get to prove he's not what Blythe thought him of and snatch her heart the second time around? Or will he learn more things than what he asked for?

One punch, and the world tilted off its axis.

LUST | ON-GOING The Vampire race has long been depleted since the war between vampires and the government began. Many thought their kind had been wiped out, but little did they know that some had survived and were gradually increasing in numbers. Isagani Silas Fujimori, a 165-year-old vampire, was one of those who escaped from the war. He sought refuge in a distant country from The Republic, namely Atlanta. There, he lived with his fellow vampires and worked as a full-fledged Doctor. He was a doctor thirsty for both sex and blood. He seduced both women and men with criminal records, and after intercourse, he would kill them and drink their blood. They targeted humans with criminal records but spared those who showed kindness. These actions had become routine for him and his friends, but everything changed when he met Enoch Kiel Moon, an assassin who specialized in eliminating Vampires. ROMANCE | ACTION | FANTASY |
