Blood. Magic. Deception. And the dominion of the damned.
Year 3040. In the techno-occult Philippines, peace and progress flourish-but balance hangs by a thread. For nine centuries, three factions-aswang (vampires), engkanto (elves/fairies), and the human resistance-have waged a relentless battle for dominion.
Now, as ruthless schemes and greedy ambitions reach a boiling point, the delicate equilibrium is about to shatter. A new dawn of supremacy looms on the horizon-
and only one faction will seize it.

TIME TESTAMENT
William Testament is a mild mannered insurance man until his life becomes a series of unfortunate events, beginning with a horrific car accident. A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does. The city they live in is a dynamic place in the near future, but built up from the past, layers of millenia holding up its foundations, and dark energies working deep beneath its basements. The histories lurking there aren't the ones we read about in history books and some of them are infected with the future. The underworld is full of high-tech gangsters, artificial super-intelligences, and witchcraft wielding criminals spreading rumors and illusions. Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city. With the help of Samantha, a young citizen journalist, and a mysterious spiritual teacher somehow linked with his own personal past, he hopes to try and control whatever this unseen thing is before it is too late.Complet
MAKATI: The City of Horrors
Year 2099. Makati has become a city split in two - the glittering Uppercity, where the elites live above the clouds, and the decaying Undercity, where the forgotten struggle to survive. When a series of brutal murders rocks the unfortunate Undercity, a weary investigator finds himself caught between corruption, power, and something far more sinister than crime. Every lead bleeds, spreading from local gossip to international headlines. Every secret is peeled open - exposed for the world to see. And in a city built on lies and false hopes, the real horror looms beneath the neon lights and synthetic rain.
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.Complet
Manila Vampires: Mata'i - Tao
"Manila is sinking, in blood." Set in an alternate universe Philippines. A wave of brutal, unexplainable murders sweeps across the nation, so grotesque that rumors begin to spread of a hidden society of cannibals, an underground community that feasts on human flesh. When the sun disappears from Manila's skyline, creatures emerge from the shadows of narrow alleyways, beings addicted to blood and raw meat. They move among ordinary people with hollow stomachs and predatory eyes, hunting for their next prey. Some are descendants of ancient cannibal tribes from a known ancient Visayan Folklore. Others come from bloodsucking clans in the western lands rooting from the history of Spanish Colonization. And now, they are all converging on Manila. An 18-year-old student activist, obsessed with exposing the truth behind her mother's murder, begins investigating the rising body count-only to find herself stalked by the shadows that poison him with a life-changing curse. A 36-year-old former NBI investigator, broken by the slaughter of his entire family, is recruited into a secret organization created by the President's underground force, sworn to purge the darkness spreading across the city. A former 'immortal' supersoldier turned CIA Agent is deployed to the Philippines to investigate a charismatic megachurch pastor linked to mass murders committed by a Filipino-American community in California. His past wars have hardened him... but the horrors he finds here ignite a new obsession. Bound by fate, the unlikely trio must uncover the truth behind the killings before the entire nation is swallowed whole by the coming darkness - born not only from its own soil, but from distant lands drifting in with deadly intent.
