World Building Definition

The world plunged into a new Ice Age. As the frozen apocalypse spread, 95% of humanity perished. In his first timeline, Cyrus Knovell's kindness cost him everything. The people he had helped betrayed him and left him for dead. Fate, however, granted him a second chance. He awakened one month before the world froze, gaining a dimensional ability that let him store anything without limit. Now he hoarded supplies by the billions and built a fortress no one could breach. While others shivered, starved, and traded their dignity for a morsel, Cyrus lived in comfort. The desperate came begging. The manipulative vixen: "Cyrus, let me into your shelter, and I'll be your girlfriend, okay?" The spoiled rich heir: "Cyrus, I'll give you all my money for just one meal!" The greedy neighbors: "Cyrus, you shouldn't be so selfish. You should share your supplies with us!" Cyrus remembered their betrayals. Lounging in his steel fortress and savoring his private paradise, he sneered, "Your survival has nothing to do with me. I'd rather feed the dogs than feed you."

Lara Dela Cruz was a normal girl—well, normal in the sense that she was an overworked call center agent who hated her boss, loved iced coffee, and had mastered the art of sarcasm to survive the horrors of capitalism. But one night, while rushing home, she slipped on a puddle (thanks to her horrible luck) and hit her head hard on the pavement. When she woke up… she wasn’t in her world anymore. Instead, she found herself in a medieval kingdom, in the middle of a chaotic slave auction. And before she could even scream in protest, she was bought by the most feared man in the entire empire—Duke Alistair Von Nacht, also known as the Tyrant Duke. Now, instead of dealing with rude customers, she had to deal with an emotionally constipated warlord who could kill her with a flick of his fingers. But what’s worse? She might be falling for the grumpy tyrant.

Bilang isang mamayang Filipino, gaano mo kakilala ang bansang Pilipinas. Hanggang saan ang nalalaman mo pagdating sa ating nga kultura at tradisyon. Ilan sa mga natatanging kuwento at hiwaga ng ating bansa ang iyong nalalaman. Panahon na upang tuklasin ang ugat ng ating pagkapilipino at ang mga paniniwala ng ating mga ninuno. Gaya na lamang ni Earvin, na matapos ang isang malagim na pangyayari, ay natagpuan ang sarili sa isang natatagong lupain. Isang lugar kung saan ang nakaraan ay nagbabalik, ang mga bagay na nakalimutan ay siyang iyong makikita at mga hiwagang inakala niyang nasa libro lamang. Maging ang kaniyang kapalaran ay nasubok dahil sa kawalan ng kasanayan sa ibang lupain. Dito ay nakilala at nakita niya ang iba't ibang katutubong Diyos, mga Diyos na dating kinikilala sa ating bansa. Mga Diyos na nagbigay sa kaniya ng tulong, gabay at basbas. Mga Diyos na siyang nangangalaga ng mga tao. Maging mga Diyos na nagtataglay ng katakot takot na kapangyarihan. Nagawa din niyang makipaglaro sa ibang nilalang at mga diwata. Maalala ang mga tradisyunal na larong pilipino. Ang payak na pamumuhay ng mga mamamayan. Maging ang makipagtalo at makipaglaban sa mga nakakatakot na nilalang at mga engkanto, gaya ng tikbalang at mga aswang. Kaya naman samahan natin si Earvin sa kaniyang paglalakbay na nagpapakita ng mga nalimot na kultura. Masdan kung paano niya magagawang pagharapin, pagsamahin at pagbuklodin ang ating nakaraan at kasalukuyan.

What is obsession? Am I obsessed? At first, I was just his substitute, then I became his real bride, then the supposed real bride returned, and I was kidnapped, tortured, and forced to divorce. Then I committed suicide because I couldn’t handle it, but I didn’t fucking die. Then I became a stalker of my ex-husband, who barely remembers me because I was declared dead by the world, and my face got melted down when acid was poured on me. I had a surgery that changed my whole face and my entire identity. Then I started working for him again and he fell in love with the new me, yet still traumatized by the old me, so I had to reveal to him that I was the same person. He was happy and relieved, but the world wasn’t. We were chewed on, spat out, and stepped on. Then he was fired from his company by his grandmother, who adopted a new son to take over the company. Then I was kidnapped again, and bombs were planted on me. We were able to defuse the bomb and escape. Then we were shot in the head by God knows who. His surgery was successful, but mine wasn’t, so I forgot everything about him and was forbidden to remember because a damn bullet is stuck in my head that could kill me if it moves to a sensitive part of my brain. Then suddenly, he was on the TV, framed for murder. I couldn’t hold back, I found myself in prison fighting for him with a gun in my hand, and somehow ended up in a coma, because the damn bullet in my head shifted… to the wrong direction. Then, in between this chaos, the doctor announced I-was-pregnant.

Tapi sebenarnya hal itu bisa diakali kalau saja Mina mengenakan baju yang lebih longgar dan sopan.  Disinilah awal mula kehancuran rumah tanggaku terjadi.

“Kapan pulang, Mas?” “Apa aku harus menjawab pertanyaanmu itu??” Kalau boleh memilih takdir, aku ingin hidup sederhana saja asalkan setiap hari bisa bertemu dengan suami. Namun, penyesalan memang selalu datang terlambat. Mas Ares tidak akan pernah bisa pulang karena aku bukanlah rumahnya.
