Chapter 71: An Unexpected Connection And The Healing

...Nathan did not even bother to remember to request a room change. He was very tired upon getting back, the exhaustion of his mind more prevalent than the exhaustion of his body. Then the next day came. His editor Lucy video called him to report to him that she managed to push through the majority of his short stories into another horror collection series. The good news made him smile for a while and he sincerely thanked Lucy for her effort. He was happy since the royalties from published paperbacks were higher than what he was getting from online publishers. The larger his part in a collection, the larger his share too. After all, the online market was just really not into horror, but romance and fantasy. As part of a routine, the woman wanted to invite him out to celebrate. Sadly, Nathan was in no mood to pop champagne anywhere five steps away from the Hevel Residence. He could only refuse. After the call, the doorbell rang. Since he was the one in the living room and the oth

Intermission

...“They said deities are actually born in one of the eastern island nations…”"Hmm? There are still places in this modern world that can give birth to deities?"“Well. I also found it weird. I thought all deities that should be born are already born. The mortals of the world has become too materialistic.” "I thought it's only the still pure-hearted animals and plants can have a chance of producing new Anitos. Are the newborns some sort of animal or plant symbol?"“No.” "No? You said they are mortals." “Humans.”"..." Two voices spoke to each other in the void. The place could not contain their majestic and regal self, but their voices conveyed some of it. Had there been anybody around to hear them, they would have gotten lost in a trance, or shivering from the unconditional fear that would engulf their entire body. Deities. They had always been beings of incomparable mightiness on earth. Especially ones like them who were merely a step away from ascension. The two were separ

Chapter 72: Actual Start of a Scheme

...A week passed ever since the daughter of the suicidal guy was healed. Carl and his two daughters officially became the Hevel family’s followers, their faith directed to the three masters of the house. His family still lived outside the bungalow, but they became frequent visitors. Anita also became Hana’s personal attendant in school, to the surprised of many. Outside of that, the Hevel family’s newly founded business was on the right track due to the competent Sam. If one were to look back at what the family went through from the moment they stepped back into the capital, one would just have no choice but sigh and exclaim how lucky and smooth-sailing everything had been for the three deities. No mortals troubled them, in the truest sense. The son of the former senator might have resumed the monitoring, but he also did not dare make a move against them since Armand began to stare at him.No evil creatures also made the Hevel family members feel actual crises. Not even the monste

Hello everyone, sorry, your author is ill today. I tried to write some but I could not finish an entire chap. Tomorrow, once I get better, I'd make sure to give a full update. For now, I'll post a teaser of the next chapter. Thanks for the understanding. Stay safe and healthy....Fernando and Hana knew about Ley’s actions. The lad had already discussed it with them and they actually had no opinion about it as all of them were free to try out methods that would work best for them.

Chapter 73: Their Statues

...Several days later, when some horror stories began to spread on the internet, stories that collectively mentioned the name Ley Baler and his abilities to help people evade accidents of bad spirits, Hana and Fernando were not surprised.Fernando and Hana knew about the reason behind Ley’s actions. The lad had already discussed it with them and they actually had no opinion about it, as all of them were free to try out methods that would work best for them.Hana was actually supportive of the idea since she was more than aware how hard it was for Ley to move about with his Gift. Ley said, “My method won’t likely work on you, or even if it works, it would only bring you trouble. In my case, even if people badmouth me and think of me as a fraud, I won’t be bothered much since even if they go after me and locate me, which would be a miracle if it happens, I would be able to easily run away from them.” When Ley first told Hana and Fernando about the rumors that he intentionally spread,

Chapter 74: Clinic

Luck. Luck seemed to be always on an Anitos side, especially on normal occasions when all they were dealing with were normal people. Ley was in a good mood as he entered the Goddess' palace, the gigantic residence given, or more like in his cognition, 'lent' to them. He really marveled at the generosity of the Goddess and even though he knew there was a catch somewhere, which he suspected lied on making them Her servants or followers, he was no longer as against. Ley recognized the favor and felt that if he would ever have the fortune to see this elusive Goddess, he would make sure to do his part to return the favor. A day quickly passed. He toured the village and interacted with some eager residents there. He also commissioned a sculptor to carve for him a miniature version of the newly built statues in the mansion. Before deciding to head back to Manila on the eve of the following day, he first made sure to fetch the mini statues. Since he ha

Chapter 74.5: Deities' Idle Time

A MINI THEATERSetting: At the simple garden of the Hevel Residence, the three masters of the house gathered for a simple tea session. It was a sunny afternoon, the exact time was 3:14 pm, the movement of the rays of sun that passed through the gaps of the leaves of the tall trees surrounding the bungalow were so beautiful to watch against the natural backdrop of green and brown. It was the perfect place and time for relaxation. Scene: Three deities talking amongst each other about Ley's most recent discovery. Ley: I have just tested it and I found that Anitos, even us who ascended in an unnatural way, could really hear the pleas and prayers of people.Hana: It's cool.Ley: I know. If my guess is correct, we only hear two types of prayers. Prayers directly mentioning us, or prayers under the scope of, or related to our Gift.Fernando: Oh. Interesting? How is it then? I couldn't try it because my believers are animals.

Chapter 75: A Mysterious Visitor

...Learning that a deity's symbol, for an Anito with not much divine power, a sculpture molded to their likeness, could enable them to hear prayers made Ley's life easier. Since then, he was frequently outside. As long as those calling out for him were nearby, he would go there without fail. Although the cases were few, there were really those helped out by him and some of these people, upon hearing his name and seeing his masked face would spread the word to everyone they could.Upon encountering something unusual, people always want to share the experience with those around them to stifle the excitement, or fear, if it was something supernatural. As more and more individuals shared various experiences about fatal accidents that got evaded by the sudden appearance of a road or a pathway, more and more people came to hear the name 'Ley'. It was said that he would appear if you called for his name before a road accident. Or if you were feeling like you needed some directions to get to

Chapter 76: Ominous Invitation

...A messenger from another Anito came. Ley and the two other masters of the house did not see the person, but a letter did appear on their mailbox. When Sam picked it up, his pupils immediately dilated seeing that it was addressed to the house owners. Their actual names were written at the back. The letter came from overseas and the sender was somebody with a foreign-sounding name. However, he knew this place and the name of the masters. That was how the butler immediately knew that the other party must be somebody with ties to a transcendent being or a transcendent being himself. As Fernando the one at home at that time, he was the first to see the contents of the letter. Even the usually carefree and careless him knitted his brows at the message he had read. He did not hesitate to telephone Ley and Hana. The two youths promptly went home, the girl did not even care if she had to request an emergency leave from her homeroom teacher. "
