...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

...“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

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.

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

...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
