Manilastories Stories

Raised in the gritty streets of Tondo by a secretive Catholic exorcist, a teenage boy named Elias has always lived between two worlds: one of harsh urban survival, and one of ancient spiritual warfare. When his adoptive guardian goes missing during a botched exorcism, Elias is forced to take up his place in the hidden war between light and darkness-joined by a clairvoyant girl with a shadowy past, and a skeptical runaway with a deadly secret.

In a city ruled by viral fame and digital TrustPoints, Jay Caluag is a zero-point nobody-just a broke merch vendor with a sharp tongue and a heart nobody notices. But when he throws himself into danger to save a child, one selfless act sparks something impossible. He wakes up in a hospital with a strange power, a viral headline... and a heartbeat that isn't entirely his. Across the city, Mimosa-the Federation's golden girl-is unraveling. Her partner, Niko Aldaya, died in the line of duty... or so she's been told. But the truth? Buried beneath layers of lies, genetic secrets, and something called the Legacy Protocol. Jay and Mimosa are now connected by something deeper than fate-an experimental power, a ghost of a love long lost, and a city that's ready to eat them alive. >What happens when the heart remembers a love it shouldn't know?
