KANLAON: BEYOND THE MYTH(The Forgotten World) What if our ancient creation myths weren't legends... but real historical records? Deep beneath the looming, ancient slopes of Mount Kanlaon lies a secret the world was never meant to uncover. In 1980, under the strict secrecy of Joint Task Force Sektor Santo, a classified expedition of military personnel, Catholic clergy, and civilian historians gather at the eastern foothills of Negros Island. What begins as a covert investigation into encrypted ancient wooden tablets and mysterious gold coins quickly unravels into something far greater than anyone anticipated. Historian Professor Demetrio Dimagiba and Father Edwin Melvar discover deciphered inscriptions pointing to Lakan Laon-a godlike sovereign from ancient Visayan mythology. But the newly uncovered texts reveal a staggering truth: Lakan Laon was not a simple deity, but an advanced being who fled a dying world across the stars to seed a new paradise hidden beyond ours. When a violent anomaly over the lake opens a whirlpool portal into the unknown, a team of researchers, soldiers, and survivalists is swallowed whole-emerging into an alien realm of strange, dark giants, lost technology, and prehistoric landscapes beneath a sky dominated by a giant gas planet. Stranded without modern gear or weapons, the survivors must adapt to a primal world while those left behind race against time to uncover the truth. History became memory. Memory became legend. Legend became myth. Now, the door to the forgotten world is open once more.

Legends are rarely born from fiction. They are echoes of forgotten history. For centuries, the mountains, forests, and lakes of the Philippines have been home to stories of kapres, diwatas, tikbalangs, and forgotten gods. Most dismissed them as myths. But what if those legends were never myths at all? When ancient secrets begin to surface, a forgotten world hidden beyond human history threatens to rewrite everything we know about our past. At the heart of that forgotten history stands Aramon, a towering warrior whose fate is entwined with the origin of mankind, the rise of civilizations, and a mystery buried for thousands of years. Kanlaon: The Forgotten World is an epic science fantasy inspired by Philippine mythology, where folklore, archaeology, history, and science converge into one extraordinary adventure.
