The Vordox
This story is an outcome of a drastically declining future. When humanity was completely lost and there was no one left on Earth taking care for it or others.

So many species are now extinct because of them and even though life is almost over we still not able to see the right thing. If we had seen things in the right way the right perspective we would've have alot to share and alot to give . We would've had inventions quite earlier the 22nd century but interestingly we were losing everything.....Complete
Star Kissed
When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.Complete

Collide
March 17, 2023.. The day of reckoning that has fallen into this world, whoever created this event surely wants our existence to cease.. I dont know who they are, I don't know what they are, they're creatures that look like humans. But they tamed steel itself forging iron warships that radiates fear and destruction, war machines unlike any other. Just.. who are they? Are they even human.. I cant explain what sort of atrocities have i seen, men die gruesomely, more violent than any war i have ever witnessed. Gore flies out of the mangled corpses of the fallen, and yet despite all dead the destruction still reigns, its horrifying to say the least.. i fear that whoever awakened this sleeping giant.. has filled it.. with terrible.. terrible.. resolve.. By the gods.. make my soul rest easy from this hell on earth, as i take account for my sins.. We need the war to end, before the war will end us.. Disclaimer: this is a fanfic of the story Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought there. Expect it not to be 100% original.

Mahingga
FULL STORY IS UPLOADED. Free to read After his brother is taken, Ako hesitantly teams up with a foreign girl to go save him from a continent of warring nations. Once there, he learns that his family's technology could be the key to not only saving his brother, but his entire island nation. This story came to me shortly after returning to America. I'd just been living in the Philippines and found something magical and beautiful there. Most of the names of people and locations originate from Filipino words in the Tagalog language. For example, Mahingga, the name of the of the island where the story starts, means "rest" in Tagalog. I wanted to the story to be funny and adventurous with a sense of wonder. I hope you enjoy the story, and I'm happy to hear any feedback.Complete
The Odd New World
"The Odd New World" is a fictional story told in the perspective of a young woman in a post-apocalyptic world who goes on a journey to find any way to escape the planet and find her people again after her world was invaded by various otherworldly creatures. The creatures now roam all across the world, spreading new plant life and increasing their numbers with much more ease as most of humans have either been killed, or escaped the planet before things progressively got worse for humans. All the creatures are not anything the woman has ever seen before. She must learn about these creatures and figure out how she will go about roaming around in a new world that she was not prepared for in order to get out of there alive.Complete
Rise Of The Maharlikan Empire
In a university, 12 Filipino students embark on a project that ends in tragedy. Reincarnated in a treacherous world plagued by racism and danger, they must unite to survive. Blessed with unique skills and immortality, they face royalty, powerful foes, and ancient secrets. Can they overcome the odds and forge a new reality, the Maharlika Republic/Empire? Inspired by Filipino culture, this epic fantasy explores unity, strength, and the unyielding spirit of 12 students reborn. This is fictional. I dont have anything to do with the history and culture of the Philippines represented by my own imagination (even though I'm Filipino).
