Diwata Stories

Lucas Agapito died in a car crash. He was certain of that. But when Lucas opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was a beautiful woman tending to his wounds. At first, he thought he'd somehow survived and ended up in a hospital. Then he noticed her pointed ears. The strange glow surrounding her body. And the tiny creatures floating around the room. She wasn't human. She was a diwata. Lucas had read enough fantasy and cultivation novels to understand what was happening. He had been isekai'd. Or so he thought. In this strange world, warriors cultivate a mysterious energy called Hininga. Babaylan command supernatural forces, ancient kapre guard sacred forests, aswang hunt under the cover of darkness, and powerful beings from myth walk openly among humans. Everything seems perfect for the beginning of an isekai adventure. Except Lucas keeps recognizing things that shouldn't exist in another world. The creatures. The legends. The names. And when he finally hears stories of a colossal serpent that once tried to devour the moon, Lucas realizes something is very, very wrong. Bakunawa. This isn't another world. This is the Philippines. Just not the Philippines Lucas remembers. Now trapped in a forgotten age of cultivation and mythology, Lucas must learn how to survive, master Hininga, and uncover why an entire supernatural civilization disappeared from history. Because Lucas already knows what this world looks like in the future. And somehow, everything around him is going to vanish. I will be posting this story on Royal Road too.

"Hindi ako ang bumalik sa nakaraan. Ang nakaraan ang tumawag sa akin." Ang tanging iniisip ni Haliya ay ang pagtatapos ng kanyang Anthropology thesis-hanggang sa isang archaeological excavation sa Quezon ang nagbago sa lahat. Isang lumang agimat. Isang bulong na siya lang ang nakarinig. At isang hakbang... ...na nagdala sa kanya sa panahong wala pang bansang tinatawag na Pilipinas. Sa mundong pinamumunuan ng mga datu, babaylan, diwata, at anito, unti-unti niyang matutuklasan na hindi aksidente ang pagdating niya. Siya ang huling tagapagmana ng isang sinaunang kapangyarihang matagal nang nawawala. Ngunit habang papalapit ang digmaan sa pagitan ng tao at mga espiritu, kailangan niyang mamili: Bumalik sa mundong kilala niya... o manatili sa panahong unti-unti niyang tinatawag na tahanan. Dahil minsan, ang pinakamapanganib na mahika ay hindi sumpa. Kundi ang pag-ibig.

Sa likod ng mga nagtataasang gusali ng modernong siyudad at sa kabilang dako ng mga masukal na gubat na hindi pa natatapakan ng tao, may isang mundong matagal nang ibinaon sa limot. Ang mga akala nating simpleng mito at alamat na pampalipas-oras lamang ng mga matatanda ay hindi pala kathang-isip-sila ay kasaysayang pilit itinago. Ito ang kwento ng mga Aswang na hindi lamang basta mga halimaw sa dilim, kundi mga sinaunang paksyon na nagmamanipula sa lipunan mula sa anino. Ito ang kwento ng mga Diwata na ang mga kaharian ay hindi gawa sa ulap, kundi nakakubli sa mga lamat ng dimensyong hindi pa natutuklasan ng modernong siyensya. Mula sa mga Tikbalang na nagbabantay sa mga pintuan ng oras, hanggang sa mga Kapre na may hawak ng mga selyadong alaala ng ating lahi, isang malaking lihim ang nanganib na mabunyag. Isang lumang kasunduan ang nabasag, at ang pader na naghihiwalay sa mundo ng mga tao at sa mundo ng mga mahiwagang nilalang ay unti-unti nang nagdaragiti. "Hindi sila nawala. Nagtago lamang sila. At ngayon, handa na silang bawiin ang mundong unang naging sa kanila." Handa ka bang alamin ang katotohanan sa likod ng gabi? O mas pipiliin mong manatili sa ligtas na yakap ng kasinungalingan?

Dalawangpu na ang namatay sa Maribina Falls. Lahat, walang bangkay na natagpuan. Sabi ng matatanda, may diwatang tagabantay. Maganda. Malungkot. At bawal ma-inlove sa tao. Or else... Mamatay ang sinuman umibig sa diwata..at maari,maputol ang sumpa kung wagas ang pagmamahal .... --- 2026. Dumating si Liam. 25years old. Galing Maynila. Broken hearted. Hindi naniniwala sa multo. Pero sa loob ng 200 taon, siya lang ang nagparamdam kay Amara na buhay pa siya. Delikado. Dahil si Liam ang pang-dalawampu't apat. At hindi alam ni Amara kung kaya pa niyang sumunod sa sumpa... o kung sisirain niya ito para sa lalaking babago sa tadhana ng Maribina Falls... --- ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Ang kwentong 'to ay FICTION na inspired sa mga kwentong-bayan sa probinsya namin. Ang totoong Maribina Falls ay maganda at mapayapa. Pero paalala: Laging mag-ingat sa ilog at dagat. Huwag maligo mag-isa at kung malakas ang agos. Respeto sa kalikasan, respeto sa paniniwala. 💙 #PinoyHorror #FantasyRomance #Diwata #ForbiddenLove #BasedOnTrueStory #MaribinaFalls #Tagalog #Filipino ---

Long ago, it is said the great Bakunawa, the serpent of the sea and skies, tried to swallow the moons and plunge the world into eternal night. Legends claim the gods struck it down. But legends are often written by the victors - and sometimes, they hide truths darker than the night itself. In a realm where eight ancient clans once stood as pillars of balance, whispers of forgotten power stir again. One by one, young heirs are summoned to fulfill destinies they barely understand - heirs bound not only by bloodlines, but by secrets buried deep in the bones of the world. At the center of it all is Libulan Mayari, a boy unlike any before him - the first male babaylan in a clan where only women were believed capable of wielding the sacred gifts of life, spirit, and healing. Marked by a color he chose himself - pink, the hue of dawn and quiet rebellion - Libulan's very existence shatters ancient traditions. Yet with his rise comes unease, for the old stories begin to crack, revealing something hidden beneath. Together with the other young masters - Thaddeus, Kaiana, and Marcus among others- Libulan embarks on a journey across cursed islands, forgotten temples, and living mountains. Along the way, they encounter creatures of myth - not as monsters, but as relics of a stolen past. The young masters soon realize that the true enemy is not chaos or ancient beasts... but the rewritten history that imprisoned both the Bakunawa and their own clans in chains of lies. As the last moon trembles in the sky, they must decide: Will they protect the world built on falsehoods - or tear it down to reveal the forgotten truth?

* I need to hide my feelings * I need to pretend that I am strong * I need to smile fakely * I need him as much as I need air a story of a pretender woman, A truly CHARLATAN.

Ang pagkakaibigang nabuo sa pagitan ng mga karaniwang tao at ng mga mahiwagang nilalang ng Pilipinas ay nagbigay-daan upang mapanatili ang balanse. Si Esang at Elias, na dati'y isang simpleng estudyante, ay ngayon nauunawaan na manipis ang hangganan sa pagitan ng mga mundo, at ang tapang, pagkakaisa, at pag-asa ay kayang talunin ang anumang kadiliman. Ang pakikipagsapalaran ay nagbago sa kanila, ngunit ang Pilipinas, salamat sa kanilang pinagsamang lakas, ay ligtas, kahit sa ngayon. At hindi nila lubos akalain na may isa pang sakuna na hindi na nila ito kayang harapin, sapagkat ang magmamana sa kanila ay hindi pa kayang tanggapin dahil sa modernong panahon
