【Written for the 8Letters June Writing Challenge】 Solaira "Soli" Saldarriega has come home three times. She never stayed. The first two times, she had reasons. This time, her lola is in the ground, the house is full of relatives who keep asking when she's going back to Manila, and the ache in her hands hasn't stopped since the bus climbed past Baguio. Aven "Ven" Ragasa is still here. Still rooted. Still the person the whole barangay calls when something needs fixing. She's watched Soli leave twice and she has no intention of watching it a third time. There is a three at the edge of the Saldarriega property. It's old, older than the town, older than the family that's tended it, and something is wrong with it. Soli knows exactly what it is. She has known since she was seven-years-old, in the same way she has always known what she feels when Ven is in the room. Two hundred years in a mountain town an hour past Baguio. Three generations of women who loved someone society said they couldn't. One debt that has been waiting a very long time to be paid, and only one way left to pay it. Some things you inherit. Some things you have to come home and claim.

In a world where desire runs hot and silence cuts cold, playing with fire feels dangerously similar to playing with ice.

Touch them, and you'll learn the truth: no matter the choice, you will get burned.

They say your life flashes before your eyes when you die. But what if it doesn't? What if, instead, it slows down-so slowly that you begin to feel as though you are living your entire life all over again? Scene by scene. Breath by breath. What would you do with the second chance given to you without restrictions? Would you fix your mistakes? Change fate? Get rich? Or simply savor the chaos of being young, stupid, and painfully alive. Again. Tony Gonzales died on the night of his eighty-third birthday and suddenly woke up as an eleven-year-old boy. He is young again, but his mind still carries the memories, regrets, and questionable wisdom of a man who has already lived an entire lifetime. Now, surrounded by people and places he thought he would never see again, Tony must decide what to do with a life that feels familiar. Will he merely watch his life unfold one more time? Or will he rewrite an entirely different ending? Endless than Love, Vol. 1: Walking in the Clouds is a Filipino slice-of-life romantic comedy about second chances, family chaos, childhood mischief, and the strange experience of being young again. One thing is certain: Tony is not done annoying the world yet. Let's see what kind of trouble he can get into the second time around.

One chapter. One original song. One story told through music. NB10 and Blackout are two rising P-pop groups brought together by PULSE: Pilipinas Rising, a televised project built around performances, collaborations, and competition. But when former trainee partners Aira Villanueva and Kai Reyes meet again after two years, the songs they perform begin to reveal the feelings, memories, and misunderstandings they have kept hidden. As their groups are pushed into rehearsals, challenges, and joint performances, old wounds reopen, new friendships form, and the line between rivalry and romance begins to disappear. Every chapter features an original song by NB10 or Blackout. Readers may listen through the included Spotify or YouTube link while the chapter's performance unfolds. Ten idols. Two groups. Twenty-five chapters. Twenty-five original songs.

Sometimes, the greatest love stories begin with the smallest moments. When Christine Javier meets Jeffrey Reyes in an office hallway, neither expects a simple encounter to change their lives forever. What follows is a journey through love, family, heartbreak, and the quiet moments that matter most.

Elara Lozada can see the dead. She has never once wanted to. Four generations of babaylan came before her, women who called it a blessing, a calling, a sacred inheritance. Elara calls it Tuesday: a headache with a heartbeat, a family curse dressed up as a gift, and the reason her mother drowned trying to escape it eight years ago. So when a soaked, silent ghost shows up at the foot of her bed with a warning that he is going to die, Elara does what she always does. She tells the dead no. But the "he" in question is Altair Villaraza, the maddeningly handsome architect renovating the crumbling estate next door, and the ghost isn't going away. Neither, Elara slowly realizes, is the truth buried beneath his family's land: a decades-old betrayal, an unfinished ritual, and a debt her own bloodline has been quietly dying to pay ever since. To save Altair, Elara will have to do the one thing she's spent her whole life refusing to do: actually use her gift on purpose, and stop running from the dead long enough to figure out what they're trying to save her from, too. A slow-burn paranormal romance about grief, inheritance, and learning that some hauntings are just love that never got to finish saying goodbye.

Hello I am August! [Not VerticalAscent By the way, and you can call me Ducky! :P] I am the author of this story! This concept of the story is a hybrid poem, mixed with Korido and Awit! Now, If you're not a Filipino or if you're a Foreigner, you might be confused of these words and big words of any Tagalog words in this poem, and the Latin in the title. But that's okay! Just use a translator or research the word of it. Furthermore, I like the game so much that I was inspired to make this hybrid poem for VerticalAscent. [The real August who is the creator of Dream Game: Frozen Soul - The Magician's Lying Eight, and The Forge and The Crucible. ] And his best friends TheFishToucher, and 567koala! Lastly this is the first story that I made on Wattpad. Enjoy the reading the poem and have fun! [Also if you don't wanna have spoilers and don't like it, check these game first before you can read this beautiful, sophisticated, and wonderful hybrid poem, and it is based on the lore. Adeus, Valete, and Paalam!]
