They were just two boys playing in a church when the massacre began.
Born to the same mother but different fathers, Kael and Riven survived the unthinkable, hidden inside a confession booth while their half-zombie father tore through the congregation, killing their mother and many more. Only to vanish into legend with blood on his hands and a hunger fulfilled.
Years later, the brothers live quietly atop a mountain where dead seldom roamed, but peace is just an illusion. Beneath their calm, they carry scars, secrets, and a singular purpose: to hunt half-bloods like him.
Trained by an elite organization that tracks and eliminates the infected, they move through luxury hotels, crowded malls, and sterile hospitals, seeking signs of the hidden monsters who look human but hunger for flesh. For Riven, the mission is personal. Because the darkness they fight lives inside him too and love seems impossible for his tainted heart, but nothing is impossible for the pen of God.
Born of the same cursed blood as the father he wants to destroy, Riven sometimes feels the hunger rise-sharp, violent, and unstoppable. He fights it with iron will, desperate not to become what he hunts. But when the truth emerges, the brothers must face a brutal choice:
Kill the past or let it consume them both.
A haunting tale of brotherhood, betrayal, and bloodlust, Echoes after dusk, is a post-apocalyptic thriller where love and vengeance are the last things holding humanity together.

Becoming Her Dark Side
They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.
LARO (Ang Silang Huling Manlalaro)
In a dystopian future where an underground, high-stakes Death Game decides the destiny of desperate people, participants from all backgrounds are compelled to battle for survival. Each tournament is disguised as a rigorous sequence of conventional and psychological games, intended to remove the weak and reward only the stronger. Past winners believed they had guaranteed their freedom for decades-until they themselves became targets. A huge conspiracy emerges as survivors, both local and worldwide, discover they were never truly free. Captured and forced into a new, more deadly tournament, they must now face not just the game's cruel new overlords, but also their own haunted pasts, betrayals, and forbidden passions. The mayhem is fueled by the genius behind the games, his vicious adopted son, and his seemingly dutiful heir, all of whom have their own secret goals. As previous champions rejoin, friendships and rivalries reemerge, and unexpected betrayals bring them closer to annihilation. Meanwhile, a global rebellion headed by covert agents and renegade victors works to bring the organization down and put a stop to the games for good. With survival, love, and revenge at stake, the ultimate question remains: Who will be the last man standing?
Ashes of the hollow
The world ended not with fire, but with silence. Cities crumbled. Nature crept back. And in the ruins, the dead did not stay dead. Kael, a quiet survivor hardened by loss, trusts only his instincts. Lara, fierce and stubborn, refuses to let the world strip away her humanity. Together, they wander through forests, rivers, and the bones of cities-searching for hope in a land crawling with horrors. But the dead are changing. Some move in packs. Some hunt with unnatural speed. And some... some remember. When whispers of a hidden sanctuary reach them-a place untouched by the plague-they must choose: keep running from the dark, or risk everything for the faintest spark of tomorrow. In a world where laughter feels like betrayal and love is a dangerous luxury, survival is not enough. They must rediscover what it means to live.
