Synopsis

One Hero Is Not Enough To Save The World. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amael, the hero, singlehandedly wiped out more than half of the entire demon race all on his own and even won against the demon king. This should have put him at ease but unfortunately for the human race, the demon king and his race were fated to come back to life again after thousands of years, just like it's always been. "You may have won this time Amael, but the next time, there'll be no one as powerful enough as you to save this world" the demon king cackled with a malicious laughter as he faded away. "This is only a temporary peace..." "Very well then... If this is what I must do to completely eradicate them, then I will" Amael then made a decision. A decision he had hoped would ensure the safety of the future for generations to come. _________________________________________________________________ "We were supposed to be dead, but when we both woke up, we found ourselves in this new world... a world that was all too familiar to both of us" _________________________________________________________________ Author Note: The first few chapters (Around 20 chaps) will be written in 1st person POV but after the introduction of more characters, I will seamlessly switch to the third person POV. Also, as you might've noticed, there will be two male leads. I really hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it!

THE NEEDLE

Synopsis The Needle in this fiction embodies Martial Law. The skull mangled exemplifies the Filipino people specifically human rights victims from all persuasions – enforced Desaparecidos to combatants, students to academicians, civilians to soldiers, peasants to landlords, laymen to religious, ordinary taxpayers to oligarchs, voters to politicians, officials to professionals, – all victims of militarization offered as sacrificial lambs in the altar of Dictatorship. The crucifix and holy rosary, guns, and bullets symbolize the protagonists – heroes and villains - and the causes and institutions they represent. The red roses, a love affair that blooms and blossoms among the main characters. The timeline was September 21, 1972, covering fourteen long years of dictatorship when Martial Law was declared until February 24, 1986, during the restoration of democracy ushered in by People’s Power at Epifanio de Los Santos or EDSA. Post EDSA events from Fidel V. Ramos to Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III or PNoy to Duterte’s presidency and Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. are briefly treated in an Epilogue. The choice of fiction was deliberate because of its timelessness and very important lesson drawn from that historic event–the restoration of democracy no less by President Cory Aquino. Whether it succeeded or not thereafter doesn’t matter. Filipinos are that unpredictable. Their memory is way too short and the hardest to please. But what is important is we have thrown away the tyrant, award-winning Investigate Journalist Shiela Coronel emphasized restoring fourteen long-lost hostage democracy in 1986. Add to that is the consequent didactic message to all Filipinos especially the Post Martial Law babies: “Beware and never again Martial Law!” In format, the author uses four of Irving Wallace's criteria in writing fiction from his “The Writing of One Novel” with some innovation on grounding characters using flashbacks and other tools characterizing bestsellers like Dan Brown, Grisham highlighting the author’s premium on the relevance of the said historical event and its political ramifications surrounding the subject throughout the story. First, no loose ends in the plot. This one is a tough act to follow. The subplot should be tied together as much as possible to the end. Second, narrative excitement rings the bell for readers. Third, is the use of research to disabuse and mitigate elements of violence and sex. Treating this work as social commentary on different implacable social issues of the day was deliberately utilized by the writer given his Philosophy, Theology, and Sociology background. Note that pictorials used in the work unless indicated in the caption are meant to highlight the theme of each respective chapter. Lastly, the most unlikely ending squeezing creative juices of the imaginative mind. Breaking the rules of writing known to man is also a challenge here. Ergo, treating the subject as fiction against the social commentary backdrop to make the narrative captivating journey instead just plain Martial Law account which is surely dry and monotonous story. How these criteria are treated and addressed by the writer especially the first, third, and fourth is left to readers and critics. Copy editing of the first draft has been done by the author using Grammarly, relevant creative writing tips culled from the internet from the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Jeff Goins, Catherine Reid, Cynthia Jones-Shoeman, Joe Bunting of NaNoWriMo, Billy Wilder, and Pruelpo, an FB friend and OFW dabbling as free-lance writer and guru. The third is actual editing from Ricardo S. Maulion Jr., my son, doing the proofreading. I have yet to accept any copy editors to do the favor for me packaging this project into a cohesive whole work. Ricardo F. Maulion For book order: Email ad: [email protected]

Golden marble bonsai

The golden marble was an evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub of the persimmon family. It was commonly known as the vase orchid. It was a dioecious plant. The male plant did not bear fruit after flowering, but the female plant could bear fruit. It was an excellent bonsai material for viewing leaves, fruits, and shapes. It was one of the representative species of Sichuan bonsai. There were the following key points when making a golden marble bonsai: 1. ** Tree stump selection **: Gold marbles are relatively easy to raise, but when choosing a tree stump, try to choose a tree stump that is vigorous and healthy. When shopping online, they had to confirm whether it was a real golden marble tree to prevent merchants from deceiving them with similar stumps. 2. ** Trimming and Soaking **: After buying the tree stump, you need to cut off a section of the cut at the root and trim the old and weak roots. The incision can be smeared with antiseptic to prevent infection. Don't rush to cultivate after trimming. Soak it in clear water for 1 - 2 days to let the roots absorb enough water, which is conducive to rooting and sprouting. 3. ** Potted Cultivation Stand **: - ** Planting time and flower pot selection **: Spring and autumn are the flourishing periods of plants, suitable for planting. The north was not suitable for planting, so when raising stakes, larger flower pots should be selected according to the size of the stump. - ** Selection of cultivation soil **: Clean and moist river sand can be used directly. The river sand can retain water and is conducive to tree stumps taking root. - ** Planting method **: When planting, try to raise the roots as high as possible to prevent the water at the roots from evaporating. After the roots survive, expose the roots. For oddly shaped tree roots, they could also be planted upside down according to the tree shape, but the normal planting of tree stumps would sprout more vigorously. 4. ** Branch Treatment **: If the environment is dry, the branches can be wrapped and sealed with plastic wrap from bottom to top, which can maintain heat and moisture, and promote the sprouting of new sprouts faster. When new sprouts were found on the stump, the plastic wrap around the new sprouts should be removed so that the new sprouts could grow. After the stump was completely alive, the plastic wrap could be removed. 5. ** Conservation environment **: After the tree stumps are planted, place them in a cool and well-vented place for maintenance. When the temperature is low in winter, move them to a warm environment. The golden marble liked a moist environment. During the maintenance period, the soil in the pot could not be too dry. It was necessary to water it frequently, and it was also possible to spray water around the plants and potted plants. In addition, the golden marble bonsai could also be made by digging up old piles with strange shapes. Digging was generally carried out in autumn or spring. The main root was cut off, while the side roots and the roots were kept. The upper branches were cut short appropriately, and the roots were kept moist during transportation. The stumps that were dug up needed to be nurtured first. They were placed in loose, slightly acidic soil with good drainage. The excess branches and leaves on the upper part were removed to reduce the nutrient supply and facilitate the growth of the roots. During the period of raising the pile, it should be in a warm and humid place without direct sunlight, but it should not accumulate water to prevent the root from rotting. After the old stakes survived, increase the light, reduce the fertilizer in the early stage, and pay attention to the growth of the branches. Cut off the branches that grow too fast in time. Golden marbles germinate strongly, and the branches are easy to coil and tie. The shape can be based on personal preference, such as straight stem, inclined stem, curved stem, and root. Most of them need to pay attention to the crown processing to ensure that they are full and elegant. Generally, they are shaped before they germinate in spring. The novel " Sitting and Watching Immortals " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
