This is not a boring book, believe me. Plus, one chapter takes like what, a minute?
As of now, this is a collection of myths, legends, and folklore about the pantheon from the ancient Tagalogs. From Bathala to Sitan and most deities I can find in between. Unlike some popular myths, *ahem ahem Greek ahem* they have a collection of these myths that are easily accessible (I'm looking at the Theogony). The Philippines is, well, absolutely the opposite. There are a lot of different and sometimes contradicting versions of one lore. Confusing isn't it? Don't blame me if you know a different version. Anyways, I really don't recommend this for thesis or other serious researches, as I am an unreliable source of information. This is for entertainment purposes only. (Maybe a bit of information but don't blame me if it's wrong)

Apo Aso
Meet Evan, a thirty-something marketing analyst. His life in Manila is as average as it gets, wake up to the sound of honking jeepneys, scroll through endless emails, endure the daily train squeeze, order overpriced coffee, and wonder if he should finally start working out. Except, once a month, he transforms into a wolf. Honestly? It's not as bad as it sounds. The first few times were painful, sure, but he learned to manage. He preps for it like someone meal-prepping for the week, lock the doors, stock up on food, and let the wolf do its thing. Spoiler alert, it mostly just wants to lie down and enjoy its meat treats. But life doesn't always let you keep your comforts. One freak accident later (thanks to a loose bolt, because of course that's how he goes), Evan wakes up not in a hospital, not in the afterlife, but in ancient Philippines. No skyscrapers. No Wi-Fi. No explanation. Just majestic waterfalls, warring tribes, and a whole lot of sharks. And if that wasn't bad enough? The transmigration removed his lycanthropy. Will he get it back? Does he even want to? Join Evan as he navigates the untamed rivers, snakes and crocodiles lurking everywhere, and curtailing his shame at wiping his ass with a stone. Oh, and did I mention we might have flying-torso monsters? Not sure yet, actually.

Bathala
In a modern world oblivious to its mythical past, a young woman named Maya discovers she is the chosen vessel of Bathala. As Bathala's power awakens within her, Maya finds herself entangled in a battle against nefarious creatures from folklore that threaten to plunge both the mortal realm and the divine realm into darkness. Joined by a group of deities, who now live as ordinary people, Maya undergoes rigorous training, unearths shocking revelations about her own lineage, and uncovers the true extent of her powers. With unexpected alliances, heartbreaking betrayals, and jaw-dropping plot twists, the journey becomes a race against time. As Maya's bond with the deities deepens, they face relentless adversaries, shattered loyalties, and the emergence of a powerful evil force. Sacrifices must be made, secrets unmasked, and unexpected alliances formed. With their world teetering on the brink of destruction, Maya and the deities confront their own doubts and fears, united by a common purpose: to protect the fragile balance between the mortal realm and the realm of myth. In a final, climactic battle, Maya embraces her destiny, assuming the mantle of Bathala's power, and leads her comrades in a fight that will determine the fate of humanity. With the fate of both realms hanging in the balance, this gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and redemption unveils the untold secrets of the deities, as they battle against unimaginable odds to save their world and forge an everlasting legacy.Complete

Reincarnated as Dragon's Sacrificial Bride
Synopsis: Aeris had never known love. As an orphan, she had spent her life yearning for warmth, for a place to call home. When she finally found someone who made her feel wanted, she clung to the illusion, believing that maybe-just maybe-she was no longer alone. But that illusion shattered the day she saw her lover in the arms of another woman. "You're pathetic," he sneered when she confronted him. And with one cruel shove, he sent her crashing against the wall. Pain struck her like a bolt of lightning, and then-darkness. She thought it was the end. Instead, she woke up in the body of a breathtaking maiden with long, silk-like black hair. Her limbs were bound, her vision blurred, and before she could even comprehend what was happening, she heard the chants of a ritual. She was being sacrificed-as a bride to a dragon. The people around her whispered prayers, their eyes filled with fear. They were offering her to him-the mighty, fearsome dragon lord who ruled these lands with fire and fury. She wasn't just anyone now. She was the chosen offering-the bride meant for the Dragon King. A being of pure darkness, a ruler feared across the world. They said he was a monster, a black-scaled dragon with a presence so overwhelming that the very air trembled in his wake. He controlled the elements and wielded power beyond imagination. He was ruthless, merciless, and unseen in his human form. No one had ever escaped his grasp. And now, she belonged to him. As the sky darkened and the great dragon descended from the heavens, his massive wings casting shadows over the trembling villagers, she finally saw him. Glowing red eyes, burning like molten fire, locked onto hers-not with rage, not with hunger, but with something unexpected. Curiosity. Possession. Fate had given her another chance. But was it a blessing or a curse? ---Complete

The King's Slave (The Nine Realms #1)
"Our next is a girl of eighteen summers. She has smooth, unblemished skin and has been schooled in the arts of love and seduction. But most of all, she is untouched." my auctioneer and captor said as he paraded me in front of the men. They eyed their fill of my body but they were forbidden to touch. "Bidding starts at two hundred pieces of silver." I was returned towards the stage as the men stated their prices. I was a rare commodity: a slave girl yet untouched, eighteen, fertile when the land has been struck with a plague that left women barren. The price for me reached eight hundred silver coins and many have already backed down. "Two hundred gold coins!" a man spoke up. It was he, the man who stared at me with passion and desire in his eyes moments ago. That was quite a sum for a slave! "Two hundred gold coins going once, twice... Sold to the King of Ivaris!" the auctioneer shouted. There it was. My fate was sealed. I am a love slave and it is just my luck that I am sold to the same cruel king that destroyed my kingdom. *A story of love, of gods and goddesses, of reincarnation and magic, intrigue and betrayal, of kings and war...*Complete
