Blue Cries
This story was not simply written... it was dreamed. One night, I (Shawori) saw it unfold in my sleep-so vivid, so suffocating-that when I awoke, I had no choice but to trap it in words before it disappeared. I am the main writer, but I was not entirely alone. My friend, @Moragene12 , designed the haunting cover and whispered eerie fragments of ideas that sank into the shadows of this tale. Together, we gave the dream a shape... and a voice. Though fictional, fragments of it may feel disturbingly real. If you recognize something within these words, perhaps the nightmare has already found you. 👁️ ⚠️ Warning: This is a horror tale. It does not end when you stop reading-it waits, quietly, in the silence of your room. Read softly. Read slowly. And whatever you do... don't look over your shoulder.Complete
Diary of a Teen Manananggal
In a world where mythical creatures go to high school, Luna Tanggol, a 17-year-old girl from a long line of manananggals, is trying to survive two things: being half-monster and passing senior year. She's never actually hunted anyone (she's vegan-kind of), hates flying because of motion sickness, and is terrified of blood. Worse, she's supposed to learn the "ancient art of torso-separation" before her 18th birthday or lose her family's powers forever. With a talking pet tiktik, a TikTok-famous kapre, and a best friend who's a half-duwende barista, Luna's about to find out that being supernatural doesn't make high school any easier-especially when a mysterious boy who hunts aswang enrolls as the new transfer student.Complete

Philippine Mythology
Philippine mythology is the body of myths, tales, and superstitions held by Filipinos, mostly originating from beliefs held during the pre-Hispanic era. Some of these beliefs stem from pre-Christian religion that was specially influenced by the Hinduism and were regarded by the Spanish as "myth" and "superstition" in an effort to de-legitimize precolonial faith by replacing those native beliefs with colonial Catholic Christian myths and superstitions. Today, some of these precolonial beliefs are still held by Filipinos, especially in the provinces. Filipino myth is incorporated from various sources, having similarities with Indonesian and Malay myths, as well as Christian traditions, such as the notion of Heaven (kaluwalhatian, kalangitan, kamurawayan), Hell (impiyerno, kasamaan), and the human soul (kaluluwa). Filipino mythology attempts to explain the nature of the world through the lives and actions of gods, goddesses, heroes, and mythological creatures. A majority of these myths were passed on through oral tradition. - This Book contains : - the creation myth - list of deities - list of creatures - the story of Lapu-Lapu - 2018 -Completed-Complete
