Set in late 1970s Manila, during the so-called "Golden Age of the Philippines," the story unfolds against the backdrop of a nation under martial law-where fear, power, and silence dictate the streets.
Detective Torres is no stranger to the darkness that lurks beneath the city's neon glow. But when a routine missing persons case unravels into something far more sinister, he finds himself entangled in a web of political conspiracies, underground resistance, and buried secrets that those in power would kill to keep hidden.
As Torres follows the trail of a disappeared family, he crosses paths with ruthless government agents, ex-rebels, and shadowy informants-each with their own agenda. With time running out and danger closing in, he must navigate a city where loyalty is fleeting, truth is dangerous, and justice is a luxury few can afford.
But in a world where the law serves only those who wield it, how far is he willing to go for the truth? And what price will he pay to uncover it?

Lobo Ng Gabi
((This is apparently gon be my first Tagalog story. My main oc Gabriel is filipino just like me IRL so ye here yall go ig:p Just use google translate if ya want.)) Tangina. 'Di ko alam kung bakit ko sinusulat 'to. Baka para lang may record ng lahat. Baka gusto ko lang mailabas 'to sa utak ko bago ako mabaliw. Nagsimula ang lahat nung 13 ako. Isa lang akong normal (?) na estudyante sa UST. Mainit, mabaho gym, tapos puro project at exam. Pero nung may isang gago na humawak sa kwelyo ko para sa baon? Ayun, mali siya ng pinili. Kasi 'di niya alam... 'di ako normal. Wala akong pamilya. Pero may lakas ako na kahit bala parang garapata lang-kumikiliti. Mula sa simpleng pagdugo ng kaniyang kamay, naging trabaho kong pumatay. Assassin, daw. Lakas maka-cool no? Pero hindi 'to kwento ng bida. Kwento 'to ng batang nilamon ng mundo, nilapastangan ng mga mayaman, at tinuruan kung paano lumaban gamit ang dugo at galit. Hindi ako bayani. Pero kung may masamang masama pa sa demonyo? Ako 'yon. Welcome to my story. Bawal ang mahina rito. Bawal ang mabait.Concluída

Verity City is drowning in neon and smoke. Theaters rot, radios whisper lies, and every alley hides a face you almost recognize. Reese Calder thought he'd left detective work behind-until a cassette lands on his doorstep. On it: a murder told in his own voice. By morning, the body is real. Each new tape drags Reese deeper into a nightmare: streets that shift, faces that vanish, a city editing itself like film. His reflection flickers in old projectors. His voice bleeds through dead air. And someone is scripting his life-one that always ends in blood. The question isn't who's guilty. It's who's real. A razor-edged noir mystery, where déjà vu kills and every broadcast could be the last. ( Thank you for reading! This story is part of a completed series I've written, so you can enjoy it from start to finish. I hope you get lost in it as much as I did while writing. Enjoy! :)Concluída
