Synopsis

Shinei Hassaikai was a special child born with a monstrous instinctual prowess for unarmed fighting which led to him becoming a legendary figure of adoration and fear amongst the common thugs and the denizens of the underworld. A fatal incident occurred during his middle school days which led to him and his parents moving out of the remote and isolated town they lived in to the Imperial Capital of the United San Magnolia Empire where the main branch of his family resided. There, he anchored his roots once more and founded the legendary underworld gang comprised of members with big connections in the elite circles of society called Apex together with his childhood friend who was also his lover. Together, they blazed through the underworld ranks and by the time they reached their first year of high school, they had become so big and so strong that they were unrivalled even by the once predominant gangs of the city. The power held by the two leaders of Apex was so great that greed, jealousy envy and treacherous thoughts began to fester amongst the members of Apex and the suppressed gangs eventually leading to an incident so large in scale that by the time morning came, the empire’s streets were awash with rivers of blood and dismembered corpses. The balance of power of the underworld organizations irreversibly collapsed on that day and yet the leaders of Apex somehow managed to weather the storm coming out on top, however, they did come out unscathed. The second of the two leaders and her cohort mysteriously vanished without a trace during the conflict and most of the powerhouses of Apex became either crippled or narrowly avoided death only to remain in a vegetative state. Left without much of a choice, Apex disbanded on that day and Shinei seeking a new start away from the pull of the underworld, transfers schools back to the isolated and remote town where he grew up. The peace and tranquility he sought became elusive when the past he sought to leave behind followed him to the isolated town. To make matters worse, gruesome murders and mysterious disappearances start to the haunt the town and when others sought to flee, they found themselves unable to do so barred by a supernatural barrier which also blocked the town residents from communicating with the outside world. Can Shinei withstand the implications behind the truth of the mysterious disappearances and when the existence of the supernatural begins to gradually reveal itself, can he unlock the truths about the fatal incident which drove him out of the town in the first place and will it be enough to weather the approaching storm?

You may have heard the stories of cave people living long ago alongside dinosaurs. What wasn't told is that these cave people lived long before dinosaurs existed. Arcadia...was once home to a tribe of proud and mighty people known as the Arcadins. These people thrived on the blessings showered upon them by the two guardian deities who ruled over Arcadia and the isle to which these people resided. As the Arcadin people grew and flourished, they built four shrines across the islands to show their devotion to these deities. The tribe believed that should they honor the deities of land, air, and sea, their people would continue to be blessed, and their resource abundance would continue to thrive for generations to come. Thrive they did. Many generations of the Arcadin people came and went, and the rich history of their existence on the island was passed down through oral tradition during celebrational days. Over time, two travelers from afar arrived, seeking better resources for their tribe. The Arcadins', never having seen others like themselves, thought of these two travelers as their deities. Instead of sending such things to the shrines, the Arcadins showered them with praises and offerings. After all, why worship at the shrines when your deities were with you in the flesh? All the while, the two guardian deities slowly faded into the shadow cast by the false Gods. This slight enraged the rightful deities of the islands, incurring their wrath upon the Arcadin people who would dare thumb their noses at the benevolence of the Two. In their rage, the deities cursed the very land they ruled over. The Arcadins' - none the wiser - knew not of the change to the land, nor what the deities had in store for their future. The 'disease' ravaged the tribe over the course of the next few weeks. It began with the infants; their soft, supple flesh turning scale like and their limbs morphing to disproportionate sizes. Their little bodies soon shifting to become that of unrecognizable creatures. The mothers of the Arcadins' mourned for their babes as they left what they believed to be diseased ridden infants out in the trees for the wilderness to claim. Next, was chaos. The disease spread like wildfire through Arcadia. The wilderness had become filled with ailing people who had been left to the wild the moment they began to show signs of scaling flesh. Their painfilled cries and bellows as they underwent the transformation overtook the natural song of nature over the course of three weeks. All it took was four weeks to twist and mold the bodies of the islanders into the beasts of old. Four weeks for the deities' curse to overtake the Arcadin people as a whole. One month, and the people of Arcadia were no more...all was not lost however, unbeknownst to the Arcadins, the two deities had a child. This child could not understand why her parents had cursed the people they ruled over. After all, everyone made mistakes, even her own parents, though said parents would deny such claims if asked. Displeased with her parents for what they had done, this child chose to protect the new people of Arcadia herself, though would do so in disguise. She cast away her celestial form, choosing the form her parents curse had given to the people. Protect them she did. Each century, she was reborn as a new dinosaur allowing her to continue to protect the new Arcadins, but unbeknownst to her, each time she used her powers, pieces of her memories and how to use her abilities began to fade. A new century now begins, and with it…a new journey. This is her story.

A Force To Be Reckoned With

WARNING!!! Heavy Violence, Graphic Imagery, Profanities, Discrimination, Racial Slur, Sexual Content, Offensive Jokes, Triggering Content In a rural area of the Philippines, an old man with his grandson lived peacefully in the wilderness. They managed to survive in a forest swarmed with beasts that could take their life away if they weren't aware of their surroundings. They were very far from the nearest residential village that inhabits people resulting in complete isolation from the rest of the world, well not 'that' isolated. Kaya, which means "The ability or capacity to accomplish things" is a 17-year-old boy who loves nothing more but the thrill of adventure. Despite being surrounded by powerful animals in the wild, he stood his ground as the apex predator and ruled all of the beasts. He'd lunge himself in a pack of hyenas and beat them all up with his iron fist, not to kill them but enough to strike fear into their furry hearts. He'd brawl it out on a troop of gorillas each weighing at least 400-500 pounds of pure muscle. Despite only sizing up in 100-200 pounds, he had enough battle prowess to beat the living shit out of these apes. He'd fought against these animals night and day without tiring himself. Despite being covered in battle scars and wounds, he enjoyed the thrill of fighting and adventure. He wants nothing more but freedom and independence. He wasn't a blockhead, he was smart, well not 'book smart' but intellectually smart. If he was placed in a pinch of a dire situation, he'd think of ways to get out of this predicament. This was not due to his intuition, rather, he was molded by his grandfather to have this type of mindset. Though they lived in seclusion, it didn't mean that they were ignorant not to know that there were also others like him. They had a small library of records of human civilization, but the majority of these books were martial arts manuals. They even have tapes to play on their run-down TV, that worked on solar panels, where they got these solar panels? He had no idea, his old man was stingy about this stuff. After leaving the forest and being introduced to a virtual reality game; Haven of God, he will start his adventure by leaving a trail of his legacy and lots and lots of blood. He will become a legend: A force to be reckoned with.

How phenomenal... I have no other words that can describe such mesmerizing piece of literature. The character development is so intelligently thought out that it leaves the viewer in total awe. The writing quality is not that if the average author as each word sucks into another world, a world that not even your wildest imagination and dreams could have thought off.

A really interesting read. I like how the author humanises he's characters. It really makes them feel like real people I've met. The I really can't wait to read more of this book and see where the characters will go. I only hope that the author doesn't give the characters too much plot armor. Make me feel something. Let there be happy moments, sad moments, moments of triumph and moments of despair. I'm excited to watch this story grow and unravel. I wish the author my best
