The Manananggal Who Went Viral

MasterGG
Series Synopsis For centuries, Gladys "Glad" Samotiloy has been the quiet terror of Dumaguete, a manananggal who follows a simple routine: separate her torso from her legs at night, hunt for food (usually just a big, juicy lizard), and return to her lower half before sunrise. It’s a lonely, predictable existence—until the night she accidentally flies directly into the frame of a live TikTok stream. Tech vlogger Colene Rivera captures the grainy, terrifying footage of a winged creature soaring past the Silliman University bell tower, and overnight, Glad becomes a global sensation. Dubbed the "Dumaguete Drifter," she is now the star of viral memes, conspiracy theories, and paranormal podcasts. The problem? Glad is a grumpy, pre-internet creature who can't tell the difference between an iPhone and a rock. Her quiet life is thrown into chaos. She’s being hunted by Mang Berting, a traditional albularyo who takes his folkloric duties way too seriously, and investigated by Professor Cruz, a folklore expert who is a little too eager to prove her thesis. Meanwhile, Officer Aljade is convinced the whole thing is a viral marketing stunt, and Tita Hanya is busy spreading "verified" news about the creature on Facebook. Forced to adapt or be exposed, Glad begrudgingly teams up with Colene’s tech-genius little sister, Rigen. Rigen becomes Glad’s "creature consultant," teaching her how to use WiFi, avoid facial recognition software on CCTV, and manage her new anonymous social media presence. With the help of Nico’s drones and the sarcastic commentary of her smart speaker, Alexa, Glad must navigate the modern world. But a mysterious creature known only as the Shadow Cat seems to know her deepest secret, watching her every move from the Dumaguete rooftops. In a world where everyone has a camera in their pocket, can a centuries-old monster keep her identity a secret, or will she become the most famous—and misunderstood—influencer in the Philippines? #Audiobook #fyp

Ember Sovereign

The sky abandoned Cinderreach long ago. In a world ruled by Awakening and Ascension, power is granted by the heavens—and those left unanswered are erased. Rhaen Varyn is born in Cinderreach, a land forsaken by the sky and watched only by ash and fire. When his Awakening fails, the world turns away from him. But something else answers. Buried beneath ruin and forgotten land, a forbidden resonance awakens within Rhaen—one not sanctioned by the Orders, nor bound by the heavens. Watchers observe. Enforcers pursue. Binders are sent to collapse his very existence. Rhaen does not draw power. He resonates with the land itself. And resonance is something the world cannot control— only silence. This is not a tale of divine favor or chosen heroes. It is the rise of a man the world tries to erase, and the land that refuses to let him fall.
