Monsters from myths and legends roam around the cities to bring fear and wreak havoc to civilization and forcing the human race close to its extinction. After the human race's downfall a place called Shelter was established in the island of Mindanao, which became the only hope and utopia for the rest of the surviving races.

Order- they were the ones who prioritize the order and peace inside the Shelter. Sage- they who are called the wise men; the ones that taught and kept all the excerpts and archives of the ancient history and knowledge of the human race. Lastly, the Farmers- they were gifted with an ability to cultivate land and produce food that sustains all the humans living in the Shelter.

Ang Tranvia de Kabayong Maligno ni Gorgorya by MorukLapramiz

What's with a Tranvia de Kabayong Maligno? An electric train car converted into a supernatural, horse-drawn carriage by three of the most unlikely Filipino hero adventurers you will never hear of anywhere. Traveling in the countryside in the Philippines in the 1970s was a dangerous affair. Buses would get lost into strange cities like Biringan then overnight be stuck at the top of some forest mountain in the middle of nowhere. The underdeveloped countryside roads were dark and unlit, and the least troubles you could face were bandits or drunk government soldiers. There was actually a legion of darkness that plagued North, South and the far south, Demon Hunters in a rickety rat-carriage pulled by Nightmare horses and armed to the teeth with supernatural deterrents that worked to rid the Philippines of the evil, supernatural monsters that preyed the dark roads. Meet Gorgorya Mariposa, Tomoko "Bading" Garci and Wong Fook Hing or Bakal Tinapay, the best retro-heroes in this supernatural action adventure short story series.

The King's Slave (The Nine Realms #1) by AerithSage

"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...* ***Credits to @DarkLeague for the cover***
