sir stell brought me to a restaurant on top of one of the high-rise buildings here in BGC. he offered to treat me but i politely declined which he respected so we paid half and half for what we ordered. i never really knew that there's a restaurant open for the public on this hotel since not much people knew about it. we're not here to stay for the night, by the way. sir stell said he only wanted to bring me here because the view is mesmerizing. and he was right.
i stood near the glass ledge and leaned on it with my elbows as support as i closed my eyes, letting the wind gently blow across my skin. for a moment, i smiled. for a moment, i let myself breathe and forget about everything. my parents, my studies, my apartment, my job, and everything else. tonight, it was just me...... and sir stell. and i'll never forget that.
what really amazes me about this night is that none of the things that happened after i left work are planned. everything was spontaneous. sir stell asked, i answered, and then it all happened.
spontaneous. i think that's going to be my new favorite word. 'cause when i think of it, i'll surely remember him.
my thoughts were interrupted when i heard a raspy voice beside me. i looked at him and he inched closer, letting our shoulders touch. there it is again... that spark. damn, what is this man doing to me?
i softly answered, almost like in a whisper. i looked at him and he was already looking back at me. i couldn't speak for a few seconds, absolutely mesmerized by how his eyes gleam by the light of the night skies.
sir stell smiled after i said that.

he shrugged.
but, you always make me smile. hskdhekshs harot !!
i giggled at my naughty thought.
sir stell asked, raising his eyebrow at me which made me giggle even more.
we teased each other and laughed a bit more before we were suddenly enveloped by silence. it wasn't awkward but it wasn't too comfortable either. good thing, he broke it before i did.
i faced him and nodded eagerly.
before sir stell spoke, he brought up his hand near to my face and gently brushed strands of hair away from my forehead which is slightly covering my eyes. my heart started beating fast once again at that action but i had to calm myself down before i explode right there, infront of him.
he started.
i stopped breathing. bakit naman ako kinakabahan?
sir stell continued stammering infront of me which made me laugh at him but he scolded me with his face so i immediately stopped myself and tried to stifle my laugh. he breathed in and out before finally speaking up, compressing his words all in one breath.
ano daw?
i blinked my eyes in confusion.
he chuckled once again and apologized.
mygod, so nag-aassume lang pala ako??? T____T
tinawanan pa ako parang timang talaga 'to si sir stell. T____T
he catched his breath before speaking.
oh, okay. okay, buti naman.
he giggled. ang cute, kaasar.
stell. i like that. :)

One day, Alz stumbles upon a relic from the past, learning about the world which once existed, where lights illuminated the skies. Inspired by this, the young Alz decided to go on an adventure, an adventure to explore the vast world he lived in. Discover the world with Alz as he sets off on an adventure, experiencing many new encounters, and overcoming obstacles along the way as he slowly delved deeper into the truths behind the world. --- IMPORTANT NOTE: This story is not fantasy-themed and not I didn't omit the fantasy tag by mistake. That said, there is meaning and significance to the title, except that it will be unveiled only much later into the story. Magical elements and the like will not be a factor in most of the story until the very end. tl;dr: This is not fantasy, magic doesn't play a role in the story. --- Updates: Will try to post a chapter once every 2 days PS. This is my first novel so there might be several issues in various aspects which I might not notice so comments are highly appreciated. --- This is more to add pressure to myself rather than anything else... but anyways the story is now part of the pledge!

Choice. An important thing is it not? We always make choices. Every day of every week of every month (of every year), we do “choices”. I want to show you how important it is and I would gladly welcome the attention. I heard somewhere that the best way to make someone understand is to just let them experience it, so, here’s your first choice. CHOICE 01 Would you play this game, or not? Take your time, I’m not waiting for the people who chooses the latter anyways.
