Lighthouses were previously built somewhere like in the middle of the sea (please note the sarcasm) to guide ships and marine vessels who wander around the dark and foggy night on seas. One would stay there to operate, to give signal in case a vessel would come across while showing the right path to go on. Wondering if it's a difficult task? Yes, actually, more than that to be exact. It technically puts a life into grave danger yet it will be able to save hundreds, thousands, or might be an abnormal quantity of lives. I dunno how the hell it was built my grandpa never told me though.
He said it is the guardian of the sea, the light, a warning but also the reason why we exist...
"H-hindi ko po maintindihan lolo."
Too sad, I can't ask him no more. "Everyone dies," they say.
All I know is it needs a well-built lighthouse: one that could withstand amidst the strong waves and deadly typhoons. A dedicated operator: one that could risk his life saving an ant colony and; a heavy-duty boat that could fight gustiness.
Still, I don't get it.

Red Rover | gxg | Wattys 2023 Winner | ✔
[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

Tip The Scale (EV!Dream x Reader x EV!Nightmare)
The war between the two guardian rulers and their kingdoms lasted for countless generations. Then came the news that Nightmare went ahead and got himself some new "friends".. Dream's soldiers were easily overpowered. Battles were being lost and the shadows began to completely overpower the sunlight's rays. With the scale of life's balance beginning to tip, Dream needed a quick solution.. The King needed a Queen. The arranged marriage would spread positivity and hope throughout his entire kingdom. Maybe, just maybe, it would give them the boost they needed to defeat Nightmare once and for all. Hi, it's Writer~San aka OreoDaSkeleton!

The FIVE
They never expected this to happen, I knew something bad was coming because of what my sister (a psychic) said. She's lucky. She stayed home. It all started that one day, my eighteenth birthday aka the worst day of my life. ---- Five students are stranded on an island due to a party boat gone wrong: Jacob, the bad boy who thinks who he is and gets all of the girls Max, the nerd who always has his head in some sort of book or Percy Jackson novel Ansley, the queen bitch (pretty self explanatory) Joshua, the best friend. He's always been there for Alex And that brings us to Alex. She is the type of girl who doesn't worry about trends or fashion, she's what people call a dare devil. All of these kids are forced to find food and shelter while trying not to hate each other even more than they already do. It's all about survival. But the real question is, will they make it out alive without killing each other? It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, who will it be? You just have to read to find out.Complete

The Little Beacon (GT DNF Merman AU)
If you read "Castle Swimmer" on Webtoon, it's similar to that, and no, not much to "The Little Mermaid" A drop from the sun sunk into the depths of the ocean. A merman, born with the abilities of the sea, and one problem, they're not like regular merfolk. They're smaller, like a human borrower, 5 inches tall The merman's duty is to complete prophesies at his own will (not forced like in the webtoon), but the only disadvantage he has is the fear of merchildren As he swims to do a prophesy, something stops him and gets caught in the chaos of the ocean near the surface, for he heard rumors that the surface is a dangerous place for any merman or mermaid, but to the Beacon, it was a blessingComplete
The Fade

A lot." *** Widespread unexplainable disappearances prompt a group of teenagers to leave their empty homes in search of the source of The Fade. Will they find an answer and a way to stop the disappearances, or will they too succumb to The Fade? *** Inspired by a series of spectacularly weird dreams. *** "This story gives me a reason to smile even on the worst days." ~@smallestpenguin *** First update: 5/25/18 Final update: 7/19/19Complete
BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, you're right where you belong. Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).Complete![Protectors of Umbra [Umbra's Fate #1] ✓](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/294314829-256-k191981.jpg)
