Enma Clarisse Castillo is a twenty year old college student currently on her last year in Bachelor in Medical Laboratory Science. She has a reputation for being a love cynic and a conservative. 

Growing up in a toxic environment, she has been trying to prove herself to her family, specifically to her mother all her life. Fighting to be seen and to be heard, wearing that mask she carefully carved through expectations and guilt. When Enma finally learned the truth about her family, it cost her an entire year in college. This failure made her realized that she's done fighting for someone else. This time, she will fight for herself and for her own happiness. 

And on that realization, her paths crossed with Ian. 

Ian Michael Marron, a 22 year old fresh graduate from UP. He was in a sense, Enma's opposite. He grew up in a comfortable life and without any pressure from his family. He's perfect in all aspects: brain, looks, talent, and even in personality. But this seemingly perfect image will soon break.

Two flawed souls, quite different but similar. Just fighting to break off each other's masks, revealing their true selves. Will they love what they see inside? Or will they retreat back to their own familiar traumas?

|| Published under PSICOM || Shinessa knows that Helix is worth the fight―until she discovers that he's dying soon. *** For Shinessa Park, life at Kyll High had been a constant battle, mostly thanks to Dest Guatamyel, the boy who made it his mission to annoy her from day one. His teasing and relentless presence drove her crazy, and Shin was certain she'd never miss him. But when junior year came and Dest transferred schools without even saying goodbye, an unexpected emptiness settled in―a feeling she couldn't quite understand. Then Helix Guatamyel, Dest's older brother, transferred to Kyll High. Unlike his brother, Helix was kind, gentle, and a little mysterious, drawing Shin in despite her past with Dest. Their connection grew quickly, and Shin soon realized she was falling in love. But just as their romance started to bloom, Shin discovered the heartbreaking truth: Helix had cancer, and he was dying. Now faced with a difficult situation, can Shin overcome her worries and move forward with Helix by her side? Or will she choose to leave him behind and save herself from potential heartbreak?

Legends of Olympus I: Rising by mahriyumm
92 parts Complete Mature
In Olympus Academy, the first and only school to house Filipino demigods and mythological creatures, students are divided into four classes: Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Omega. Carrying one of the titles comes with great responsibility, especially to Reign, a girl who continues to live through the privilege and burden of being an Omega. All eyes are on her class as a new student arrives, bearing a legend that many do not believe and some, refuse to. Reign decides to dive deep into the legends of Olympus Academy, in efforts to understand their new member, and eventually she will. She will come to know two cruel truths about their very existence: Mythological creatures like her are being hunted for power. And as for the demigods who belong to the same class as her, they were a consequence, a threat, an ultimatum of what was once destined. To be the hunted or become the hunters? To be the protectors or become the protected? The Omegas need to make a choice. But being descendants of the original Omegas, demigods who defeated gods, titans, and even overcame Chaos, the first deity to ever exist in mythology... They know they're just as powerful to choose another option that's not given: Become no one but themselves.
