Essence Stories

Death should have been it. The End. Game Over. Instead, I was given a choice, quite a few choices actually... DxD was not the worst place to build a new life, a quiet life. I could just let the main cast deal with the world-ending troubles like they did in canon... wait, what do you mean crossover?! What do you mean the War in Heaven will restart?! Follow this new story in the world of High School DxD, where power alone is never enough. Between the politics of devil society, the dangers of fallen angels, the schemes of the church, and the secrets buried in other worlds, Zyras must carve out his place in a universe teetering on chaos, with the shadow of God's return looming ever closer.

Ki finds herself stranded on a planet known as "Earth," after being forced to flee her home in a spaceship she didn't even know how to fly.

He soon discovers that there is more to this meteor than his superintendent is letting on.

Those that once roamed Ráthclaire, may find themselves enraptured in the curious hands of this once simple woman. Read the first volume of The Origin Blood: Death to Mortal Blood

A story of legacy, power, and the cost of becoming strong enough to carry a name.

Squad Series No.1 The world loves to preach the "essence of waiting," but what if waiting only leads to heartbreak? For Aiziah, every patient minute is a slow torture. She waits for Renz, the man she truly wants, even as she longs to find happiness in her remaining days. She tries to open her heart to others, but it's useless-her gaze always drifts back to him. What is the point of waiting when he is already happy with someone else? What is the point of waiting for a love she knows is impossible, when she risks getting lost in this world? The Filipino saying asks: "Bakit pa kaya natin hinihintay ang taong alam naman nating hindi na magiging sa atin?" (Why do we still wait for the person we know will never be ours?) Aiziah's worst fear is confirmed by a single, shattering line: "Hinihintay naman kita palagi kaso... dumating siya e." Can Aiziah survive this crushing heartbreak, or will her patience ultimately be her undoing? And after all this, can she ever truly have the man she waits for?

Ghosts are in the house! With her parents away, seventeen-year-old Alyssa Dempsey is taking care of her two younger brothers for the weekend. On their first morning alone, Alyssa discovers that her baby brother Sean received a magical, glass wand from a pair of ghosts, who he calls the Buddies. Along with their thirteen-year-old brother Bradley, the three Dempsey children begin interacting with a dark and dangerous spirit-world, in which the sinister owner of the wand lives, and from whom it was stolen. "The Essence (A Ghost Story in Three Days) is a fun and quick read that will entertain young adults and their young-at-heart parents. Author Vel Grande brings his characters to life with dialog and humor and paints both dark and light imagery with deft strokes. Krystle Carkeek's plentiful illustrations capture the emotion of the scenes, cementing each character's details in the reader's mind. The Essence is great escapism." -Gary W. Stout, Readers' Favorite (5-Star Selection) "The narration feels authentic, the characters are likable and loathsome in the right doses, and unlike many other modern young adult books, the charming uses of foreshadowing and suspense are reminiscent of traditional ghost stories, not ultra-violent animes or comic books . . . Vel Grande has succeeded in both building a memorable plot with engaging characters and, more importantly, making me want to know what happens next." - Bruce Duboff, Middler Books and More

In my opinion, poems flow like the consistency of music into my heart and stagger me by the fact that it is so impactful and empowering. When we read poems, we start feeling one with the writer and can interpret the thoughts of him/her through the poem. So come on, I welcome you to read my collection of poems, all mustered up into one word - 'Essence'. I will be uploading poems often. So, stay updated! 'Poetry is the power of feelings and thoughts, following to the rhythmic formation of our hearts and souls.' -Krishna...

Introverted side of this collection, here my feelings and thoughts are raw and I try to find the right words to describe them. This is the side I tend to hide from everyone, myself included. Hope you can find comfort in this new journey 🌙
