After a nuclear disaster known as "The Cleansing" caused a massive thinning of the Earth's population. The remaining humanity had to survive, not just against the toxic environment they once called home but also against the combined forces of nature and mistakes of men; a rising species of mutated animals and humans.

For years after "The Cleansing," humanity conquered the hollow Earth, with civilizations rising one after the other. The Philippines, also known as the Island of Pearls, is an archipelago off the coast of the Pacific Ocean, also coined as the Prolific Sea after the ocean evolved and adapted to the noxious threat of the nuclear apocalypse and retained its lush and fruitful resources. Because of this, the Island of Pearls became a valuable resource to be mined, colonized before, then colonized again after years of independence.

Along with the plans of invasion were harsh testing, abductions, and killings. In order to discover the true riches of the Island of Pearls; they were known as agimats, a Filipino word for "amulet" or "charm," that had been graced by the gods for use by those with no tainted blood, sometimes known as "Indios" or "pure-blooded". Each agimats were bestowed with powers by the deities that once protected the land of the Island of Pearls, and can only be used once they are worn by those who were chosen by the gods themselves.

There, humanity found that the foes aren't just the mutated; men have always fought against men and will continue to do so. Will those who have been blessed by the gods be able to put an end to the conflict? or will they fall victim to it as well?

Tanglawan, a new land that emerged from the ruins of what was once the Philippines, continues to flourish, as facilitated by the Exorbit, a government-owned microchip introduced to a person's body. Everyone feels safe and well taken care of, with their fates, including their love lives, already predetermined. Everything was in place, until one day, Pia, a Keeper-in-training, came across something she wasn't supposed to see, in the midst of her desperate attempt to get together with Agui, her first love. Pia is convinced that Agui is her real love and her not getting together with him was the reason why all relationships she tried entering into always end on a bad note. There's only one problem in their getting together, though-her Exorbit malfunctions when she uses it with Agui, and their compatibility and dating prompts don't show. Determined to find a solution to what she thinks is the only thing keeping her and Agui from getting together, Pia finds herself entangled in the operations of Mulat, an underground movement of great thinkers who wanted to break free from government control brought by the Exorbit. There, she meets Aki, a dreamy, idealistic guy who also makes her heart skip a beat. In this post-apocalyptic society where choices are limited, Pia found herself deciding not just for herself but also for the future of the entire Tanglawan. Will she make the right choice? --- Highest Ranking Achieved: # 2 Dystopianfuture - January 22, 2025 # 3 Surveillance - January 22, 2025
Anito Anarchy by enyeenjee
33 parts Ongoing Mature
According to folklore, obscure forces secretly live among us, shaping the natural world and influencing human affairs. Some call them spirits, others refer to them as guardians, and some even worship them as gods. But to the old and wise, those who understand what lies beyond this world, they are simply called "Anito." If you were to tell this tale to Makisig "Maki" Kagiwa, a 15-year-old high school student, he would dismiss it as nothing more than a silly superstition. Living in a bustling modern city, Maki views old beliefs as outdated stories with no place in reality. But his skepticism will be put to the test when he encounters the paranormal firsthand. What will he do when he realizes that the creatures and monsters from long-forgotten legends truly exist in the modern world? Will he become a believer before it's too late? Or will his doubts cost him dearly when he and his older brother find themselves hunted by otherworldly beings---creatures whose motives remain a deadly mystery? *** Out of nowhere, an ominous creature in a tailored suit lunged at me, claws swiping through the air. I stumbled backward to avoid the attack and lost my balance. The creature shrieked and dove toward me, but I managed to block its claws with my baseball bat. Face-to-face with this monstrosity, panic and exhaustion took hold. Its grotesque features triggered a primal terror I had never experienced before. I lay flat on the ground, clutching the bat like a lifeline. The other creatures seized the opportunity, racing toward me with murderous intent etched on their twisted faces. My blood ran cold as I saw them close in, clawing and slashing at me from all angles. A scream tore from my throat as something sharp punctured my stomach. My life flashed before my eyes, just as people always said it would in the face of death. I couldn't believe this was how my life would end---devoured by creatures wrapped in inscrutable mystery. *** Note: This story is written in English.
