Cape Town, 2049. Sixteen-year-old Sebastian Clarke sits at a rain-streaked window, unable to say what he wants from life, knowing only that the careful Clarke inheritance of doctors, lawyers, and engineers is not for him. He does not yet know that he is a soldier, or that the century he is about to inherit will be unlike any his fathers knew. By the 2060s, the world has resolved into five great federations, and all five are hungry for the same thing: Africa, its cobalt and lithium, its rivers and its untilled earth. When that hunger finally settles on a single deposit in the southern Congo, Major Clarke and a continental army assembled from a dozen nations dig in for the battle that will define his life and theirs. What follows at Manono is a siege of Dien Bien Phu intensity, told with the unflinching tenderness of a man counting the names in a small black notebook he has carried for thirty years. But Manago is not the story Clarke was told it was. Writing from old age, he traces the distance between the victory his country celebrated and the quieter truth he uncovered afterward, a truth about who really decides the fate of a continent, and where the real history is made. Spanning forty years, two marriages, and a friendship forged in a schoolyard that will one day reach into a basement in a ruined city, Manono is a sweeping, intimate reckoning with loyalty, loss, and the cost of standing between the strong and the weak. A war novel in the great tradition and an elegy for the men who are spent, and rarely told why.

NAGISA A light novel series She walked into his flower shop to say thank you. That was all it was supposed to be. A girl who had been pulled from the ocean five years ago, finally finding the boy who had pulled her out. Two sentences of gratitude. A polite bow. And then goodbye. Except she didn't remember who she was. And he didn't know how to stop caring about that. Nagisa is a slow-burn Japanese-style light novel about two people trying to find where someone belongs — and quietly, without meaning to, finding each other along the way. It has flower shops and river walks and letters written by hand and a fiancé nobody knew about and a memory that comes back at exactly the wrong time. Nobody is a villain here. That's the thing. Everyone is just a person doing their best with what the world handed them. And sometimes that's the most painful kind of story there is. Updates chapter by chapter as I write. This is my first proper long-form project so it's definitely a little rough in places — bear with me. I'm figuring it out as I go, and I genuinely appreciate every read. If it moves you even a little, that means everything. Inspired by Japanese light novels and the kind of anime that makes you stare at the ceiling afterward.

Si Carlo de Luna ay isang 25 taong gulang na lalaking mestizong may dugong Kastila at Cebuano. Siya ay may taas na 5’5” na may matipuno ngunit karaniwang pangangatawan. Tinatawag siyang "Dumagat” dahil siya ay nagmula sa baybaying-dagat ng Zamboanga del Sur. Tuwid ang kanyang buhok, may suot na salamin sa mata na nagpapahiwatig ng kanyang henyo sa agham at matematika, subalit madalas niyang itinatago ang talino sa likod ng isang simpleng imahe—isang tipikal na gangster na nakasuot ng karaniwang damit at may sunglasses para hindi mahalata ang kanyang tunay na kakayahan bilang guro at tagapagtanggol ng bayan. Bilang isang overpowered na tao, si Carlo ay matapang, matalino, masayahin, at may matibay na political will. Mahilig siyang makipagkompetensiya, lalo na sa larangan ng agham at sining ng pakikipaglaban. Sa kabila ng kanyang lakas at talino, may malaking takot siya sa pagkawala ng mga mahal niya sa buhay at ng kanyang bayan—isang kahinaan na nagbibigay lalim sa kanyang pagkatao. Mahilig siyang magbasa, mag-imbento, magsanay sa agimat, at madalas siyang nagkakape at naninigarilyo bilang bahagi ng kanyang araw-araw na gawain. Si Carlo ay nagmula sa Zamboanga del Sur at dumayo sa Bukidnon upang tuparin ang kanyang misyon na lipulin ang mga aswang na sumisira sa katahimikan ng mga tribo. Bago pa man niya natuklasan ang kanyang tunay na kapalaran, ninanais niyang magkaroon ng isang normal na buhay bilang guro at lider ng Quantum Gang — isang samahan na lumalaban sa mga masasamang tao gamit ang pinaghalong makabago at makalumang teknolohiya. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang matuklasan niya ang kanyang pagka-Tagapagmana ng Liwanag, isang natatanging tagapagligtas na pinapangalagaan ng mga sinaunang diyos at espiritu. Bilang henyo sa matematika at agham, mahusay siyang lider ng Quantum Gang dahil sa kanyang kasanayan sa Khali at Aikido, at may kakayahan ding magturo ng edukasyon. Ang kanyang mga armas ay mga modernong pluma at papel na ginagamit sa pagsulat at pagbigkas ng mga Latin na orasyon na minana mula sa kanyang lolo na isang Kastilang dalubhasa sa sinaunang mahika. May dalang whip na gawa sa metal na tila pangil ng kidlat ng dragon, na mana naman niya sa kanyang lola na Cebuana. Bukod dito, nagdadala siya ng mga mutya ng hangin, tubig, apoy, at kalikasan, pati na rin mga makabagong gadgets tulad ng cellphone, tablet, at locator na tumutulong sa pagtunton ng mga kampon ng kadiliman. Isang mahiwagang clay pot din ang kanyang gamit sa pagluluto ng mga pildoras para pampalakas at pampagaling ng sugat. Walang kahinaan si Carlo sa tradisyunal na pakahulugan—isang tunay na overpowered na bida. Sa kanyang buhay, malapit siya sa kanyang mga magulang—si Pedro de Luna, isang disiplinadong mandirigma at eksperto sa Kali at Aikido; si Maria Dimapili, isang guro ng panitikan at tagapangalaga ng kultura; at sa kanilang mga ninuno—si Miguel de Luna, ang dalubhasa sa Latin na orasyon na nagsisilbing gabay, at si Clara Dimapili, ang makapangyarihang babaylan na tagapangalaga ng kidlat at kalikasan. Pinagpapalakas siya ng kanilang mga aral at espiritwal na legacy, na nakaugat sa mga diyos ng kidlat gaya ni Magwayen. Bilang asawa ng limang makapangyarihang babae mula sa limang elemental tribes ng Mindanao, pinangangalagaan ni Carlo ang balanse ng kalikasan at kapangyarihan. Kabilang dito si Dayang Laya Binhi, healer mula sa Nature Tribe na may kaalaman sa herbal medicine at bio-spiritual healing; si Alunsina Daligdig, mandirigma ng Fire Tribe na eksperto sa apoy at tribong pakikidigma; si Bulan Sadsad, tank ng Earth Tribe na bihasa sa mountain warfare; si Amihanan “Mia” Salakay, assassin ng Wind Tribe na eksperto sa stealth at aeromancy; at si Ligaya Panubig, marksman ng Water Tribe na may husay sa hydro-pressure ballistics. Pinangungunahan niya ang kanilang limang mentor na pinagsama-sama sa pangunguna ni Datu Kidlat-an, ang tagapamagitan ng mga tribo, upang labanan ang panganib mula kay Datu Silab–Itim, ang Punong Itim ng Kadiliman.
