Pressured to follow in the legacy of his father, PBA legend, Johnson Ramos, Enzo was the Katipunan golden-boy who had everything going for him. But as reality deems it so, there is no such thing as living the perfect life. Beneath the facade, Enzo struggles between wanting to connect with a past that could potentially ruin the reputation his family has built, and pursuing a lifelong dream but forever leaving behind a piece of his heart.

Growing up in a football-loving community Doly wanted more than anything to play the beautiful game in the prestigious UAAP. Carrying only her dreams with her to Katipunan, will she make it? Or will she rediscover a buried past she has unknowingly tried to forget due to the heartbreak of losing a loved one?

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 Living in a bustling modern city, Maki views old beliefs as outdated stories with no place in reality.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.
BOOK TWO Gods Of Desterrados: Prophecy of Polynesian Realm I by Poly_Arcana808
199 parts Complete Mature
The tall, Polynesian beauty's eyes were shockingly pure white while the other team members waited for her divine intel. Her name was Prophet for obvious reasons. Her beautiful tribal tattoo crawled up from her right arm to her neck. It shined in gold brilliance while she manifested her otherworldly power. "This U.S. waiting and anticipating type of shit is why I transferred out to New Zealand Ops," muttered 1st Team Gunner Diablo. He was telepathically pulling a football from the rec room table as it effortlessly smacked into his hand. The football immediately disappeared into a vortex after Diablo threw it in. Jojo looked at Diablo quizzically. "What? My son starts football next week and he needed one, it beats going to Walmart." Prophet's eyes returned to her normal shade of brown. "So what's the 411?" inquired Jojo. "The Hispanic who goes by the name Priest was the lone witness. I couldn't first-person view the whole incident cause the fucking anufe low-level demigod was too inebriated and stoned out of his mind to provide any reliable intel. Saint revealed his divine form but thankfully Priest was incapacitated. He also reported Saint left on his own accord," reported Prophet. She refused to believe her cousin Saint would've betrayed his teammates. "That's bullshit, Saint's loyal to a fault," stated Dice and Deuce simultaneously. "I hate when you guys do that, it's creepy as fuck," muttered Diablo. "Wasn't what your wife said when we was pulling a two-fer on her last night," responded the twins humorously. The team chuckled quietly. All of the teammates hailed from the South Pacific, but not all of them were of the same realm. Deuce and Dice, Prophet, and JoJo were from the Tiafau Realm where Saint and Sinner's Tagaloa bloodline ruled. Diablo was a Hawaiian god from the Koa Realm, and Specs was a Maori god from the Kaha Realm. But they all belonged to the same genealogy of purebloods. © 2020 Jeannie Mane. All rights reserved.

In response, I resorted to the one skill I had mastered - I stuck my tongue out at him before sauntering away.

Although a lot of inspiration was taken from my life (surprising?), this story and all characters depicted are fictional. I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Those themes were inspired by my experiences. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ This book started as practice and a creative outlet, which is why the plot is... interesting. My goals for this challenge are listed below, let me know if I nailed them! Goals: ✔️ 50,000 words (2,000 - 2,500 per chapter) ✔️ Dabble in psychological themes ✔️ Bring a dark twist to the Mafia Romance genre ✔️ Limit the use of profanities (which this genre is known for :P) ✔️ Finish my first novel
