La Fraile is a prominent town which expands its success across generations for being ruled by the powerful, noble-born Serdoncillo clan.
"Veiled Madonna" painting, a masterpiece made by an unknown artist in 1706 and it was owned by the lauded city mayor, Ephraim Serdoncillo. Their family is always surrounded by controversies and rumors, yet it was all easily swept under the rug much to the townspeople's admiration. However, their name was caught in an inescapable bad light when he met his untimely demise and the blame was placed on the old-century artwork.
In an odd manner, the girlfriend of Ephraim's nephew, Miriam del Vasquez, is strangely troubled by nightmares of a woman wearing black medieval gown and veil, resembling the portrait. Discovering the tale of the mayor's death and the art, she is soon eager to unravel the string of mystery tying her terror dreams and the ghastly murder to the painting.
Does the infamous picture is tagged along by its haunted past or is it only about to draw its present curse in a perfect timing?

Candle of Placid Concussion
Stand-Alone #1: Quendrin Ysabelle Madriza is an undeniably tantalizing milady in various deeds that she often does in life. No man is an island knows that she is still that young woman who has been haunted by the dismal and heart-wrenching tragedy of the past. She is begging the depths of death to chase another wave of oblivion for her hidden havoc. She tries to forget and bury the past into the grave despite the truth that it was long sculptured on her heart, soul, and mind. No matter how hard she tried to let rationalism go even, life seems apparently unfair on her desired favors. In the voyage of pitiful twists deprived of hope, fortune, and rapture, she found unwavering love with the person whom she never thought to devotedly stay by her side all this time around. Everything was not easy. It is not easy to escape an eerie tunnel without a streaking light that comes from the supposed destination. It is not easy to travel on a lone island without a map that would guide the person's way back home. It is not easy to water flowers when the season never conspires to let them blossom and flourish in time. Is there even a better tactic to flip the cards and roll the dice towards her aspired outcome? Is there a valuable technique that Quendrin could use to conquer all the odds and relinquish the trials away from her destiny?
