30 Days with Fina by JellOfAllTrades
Chapter 2
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. Grumbling I looked at the caller ID to check who is calling at such an early hour.
Jaime Reynaldo calling..
My best friend, Jaime is also a ladies man. He's just the good boy type that's why he has no trouble getting up early. I accepted the call, my eyelids half-closed.
"Dude, what is fucking wrong with you?" I muttered.
"Good morning, sleepyhead," Jaime's husky voice greeted.
"You of all people know that I hate being woken up early."
"Yeah, I know that, pero kasi may problema tayo."
"Ano?"
"Pumunta dito si Andrea, hinahanap ka."
I bolted upright on the mention of the girl's name. "SHIT!"
Andrea is one of my flings back in Manila. I would have considered staying with her longer if it were not only for her uncomfortable clinginess.
"Woke you up, didn't it?" Jaime laughed on the other line. "Anyways, napaalis ko na sya, but I have that feeling she'll be back soon. Kelan ba balik mo?"
I groaned, remembering how long I'm supposed to stay here in Quezon. "A month,"
"Excuse me? Nagkamali ata ako ng dinig, did you say a month?"
"Pinagkaisahan nila ako and now I'm stuck here in Calauag for a whole month."
"Wow," I heard Jaime whistle as he thought of something, he always does that. "Ano nang plano mo? Jan ka muna maghahasik ng lagim?"
"Baliw! Hasik ng lagim ka jan?!"
"Oh really? Ginaganyan mo ako? Dude, we all know na hindi ka basta basta titigil sa pambibiktima ng mga babae."
I rolled my eyes. "Dude, hindi ako pwede maghasik ng lagim o mambiktima or whatever dito kasi pinagbantaan ako nila mommy. Kapag lumandi ako, and I'm telling you, they will know, kukunin nila yung susi ng baby ko."

"WHAT?!"
Jaime knew I like to call my shiny silver Volvo 'baby' and that I love it more than I have ever loved any girlfriend I ever had. Some would have laughed at me but he doesn't because he does the exact same thing with his blue Mustang GT, except he calls it 'love' which is kinda gay for him. But who cares, we both love our cars.
"Anyway, alam mong hindi ko type ang mga probinsyana tapos nung sinabi nilang isang buwan ako dito, I actually reconsidered them for a minute! And then the next thing I know, my mom's telling me I can't find myself a fling kung ayaw kong mawala yung baby ko!" I complained. "Dude, there's a difference between not wanting to and not being able to."
"Your life sucks."
"I know! Bro, anong gagawin ko? Mamamatay ako sa boredom dito!"
"Labas kayo ng mga pinsan mo."
"Magkaiba kami ng lifestyles. If I hang out with them, sa una lang masaya, after some time magsasawa ka din."
"Wala ka bang ibang kaibigan jan?"
I groaned. "Dude, I haven't been here for five years. Wala na akong kakilala dito."
It's been a while since I was here in Calauag and although I remember meeting a chubby girl in the playground, it was a decade ago. I doubt that girl is still around.

The Man Who Taught The Machine
A game developer finds himself reborn into the world he created. He also made the powerful AI that controls the system, so what happens when he finds out the system created him more than once? Shane Carther works as a developer for an ambitious new AAA game. The game, Endless Veil is an open-world RPG with contextual quests and endless procedural generation powered by an AI Director of Shane's own making. The game world is populated by random events, dungeons, NPC outposts, portals, boss fights, wandering merchants, and more. Through machine learning, all of these encounters have context and backstory. Right before the game's launch, Shane wakes up inside his own game. At first, this looks like a blessing as Shane has a robust custom class that gives him many more opportunities than usual to acquire power—and exciting loot. Shane quickly learns that life in his game's world is authentic and deadly. Even though he respawns endlessly after dying, there are fates worse than death and rebirth. Fates like discovering you've already been reborn into Endless Veil many times and failed. New Chapters Posted Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday! *I am now aware another author has previously used the same copyright-free cover image I am using. While their story is no longer being supported on Royal Road, I do plan on replacing my book's cover with something more custom later on!

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
