✔ | Sun Rays Series #1 Ritienzy, a social butterfly from HUMSS, wears her carefree smile like armor. Palakaibigan siya, oo, pero hanggang do'n lang. Ever since she witnessed her parents' love collapse, she learned to keep her heart at arm's length. Maybe bata pa siya at marami pang kailangang matutuhan, but the wounds beneath her laughter aren't as healed as she pretends. Then there's Jayscen from STEM, a smart, academically-driven guy who chases dreams bigger than the limits around him because of his expectations to himself. And behind his quiet composure hides a temper he once couldn't control. Fate crosses their paths twice, accidental yet strangely inevitable. . . at sa gitna pa talaga ng kalsada. Two teens. Two masks. Two hearts carrying battles the world doesn't see. Naging magkaibigan sila, pero hanggang kaibigan na lang ba talaga? And how will she, who's afraid to love, and him, who's afraid to fail, ever realize that their meeting is more than an accident, but the beginning of a path they must walk together--one that might just lead them past their limits, and into something infinite?

Midnight Series #1 Is being smart a blessing. . . or a curse? Sera's life feels like a game- quiet, calculated, and always a step ahead. Like a chessboard laid out before her, where she moves as the queen and others exist merely as pieces. She's an independent woman. She doesn't need anyone. She knows her boundaries. She knows her worth. Or at least, that's what she believes. Then she meets a man who was the complete opposite of her. A man who doesn't plan ten steps ahead, only the next day. Someone who wakes up just to survive. A pawn, trapped in the same game she thought she had already mastered. She was never meant to fall. Yet somehow... she already does. -Sarvanta

Haven Audrea Polina grew up asking questions the world never answered kindly. Bakit may mayaman at may mahirap? Bakit may magaling at may pangkaraniwan lang? Bakit may mga taong isinilang na parang sigurado na sa sarili--habang ang iba, pilit hinuhubog ang pagkatao para lang matawag na may silbi? She lives between four corners--of a room, of a classroom, of expectations she learned to carry too early. A girl who can do many things, yet holds nothing she can truly call her own. She exists quietly, believing that being ordinary is safer than hoping for more. Haven never wished upon stars. Not because she didn't believe in them--but because she feared the cost. She learned early that the universe has a way of taking something back. And with a family already held together by sacrifice and love, she chose gratitude over longing. Settling felt like survival. Until Gabriel Elias Martinez came into her orbit. With eyes that carried warmth instead of distance, he showed her a world beyond what she had learned to afford. Beyond fear. Beyond quiet self-denial. Through him, Haven saw color where she once only allowed herself comfort. And for the first time, she looked up-not to ask for more, but to wonder if she was allowed to keep what made her feel alive. Yet stars have their own sky. A light pulled too close can burn. A star forced out of its place can lose its glow. And love-when tangled with fear, class, timing, and self-worth--can become something fragile. So Haven does what she has always done. She steps back. She looks up. And instead of wishing, she prays--that the star she learned to love remains alight, even if her place is only to look up from afar.

Walk on Water Series #1 || Navi Evangelista has always lived with her gaze fixed beyond the visible world. While others move through life relying on what can be proven, she is drawn to the unseen. The existence of God, the mystery of spiritual forces, and the promise of eternity. So to live a life worthy of the Kingdom, she disciplines herself against worldly desires and the temptations of sin, believing that salvation lies in steadfast faith. Ngunit may isa sigurong pagnanasang hindi niya kayang isuko. Iyon ay ang pag-ibig niya para kay Sidro Adri Regalado, the senior who has unknowingly become the center of her earthly longing. In this life, she dreams not only of heaven, but of a future beside him... a home, a family, and a love sanctified by faith. Pero hindi siya nakikita ng lalaki sa paraang tinititigan siya ni Navi. Sa makatuwid, hindi siya gusto ni Sidro. In fact, it seems like he hates her. So when one's heart can no longer bear the happiness of another because it exposes the emptiness within, can such a feeling still be called love, or has it already become its own form of hell?
