"Buti naman pumayag si Brian na makipag tulungan sayo."
"Oo nga nay eh." Narda answered then seat on her chair after serving the food.
"Sabi ko naman sayo ate eh papayag yun. Di nga lang nya alam na kasali na sya sa team natin." Ding said while eating.
" P-pero sana kung sakaling makita nya ang babaeng ahas, sana andun ako para matulungan ko sya."
"Yieeee protective yan?" Ding teases.
"Che! Ikaw talaga Ding —saka wala naman syang laban sa babaeng ahas."
"Asuss..."
"Ayan nanaman kayo.."
"Si ate kasi kunwari pa eh concern lang naman talaga Kay kuya Brian."—Ding.
Narda wears a smug face.
"Pero apo, mag ingat ka sa babaeng ahas na yan ha. Hindi natin kilala kung sino sya, kung saan sya galing, paano kung anjan lang pala sya sa tabi-tabi." thier grandma said in worries.
Narda paused and think for a second. It's one of her concerns also.
"Kayang - kaya yan ni ate. Yang babaeng ahas na yan hindi yan oobra kay ate. Diba ate??"
She just wears an assuring smile for them.
Papasok na ako ng opisina pero parang ayukong pumasok matapos ang nangyare. Nahihiya ako kay Regina.
Dapat talaga di ko yun ginawa—pero bakit ko ba kasi ginawa ? Aissst!!
'Narda ginawa mo lang yun para I-comfort si Regina okay?—si Regina nadala lang ng emosyon nya. Yun lang yun.'
"Ano bang ginagawa mo jan bat di ka umakyat?" Sita ng kasamahan ko.
"Oo mamaya na."
"Bakit??"
"Basta!—"
"Narda? Bakit andito ka pa?"
Para bang napako ako sa kinatatayuan ko.
"Good morning ma'am Regina." bati ng kasama ko. "Una na ako." sabay tapik nya sa braso ko.
Unti-unti ko namang ni lingon si Regina na naka tayo sa likod ko.
*smiled. "Hindi ka pa papasok?" tanong nya.
"Ahm... P-papasok na ako. Goodmorning pala." sabay ngiti ko tapos unti-unting tumalikod.
"Ahm Narda?" tawag nya.
Huminto naman ako sabay harap ulit.
"About W-what happen—"
"Re-regina okay lang—wala yun. Haha, naiintindihan ko naman." Hindi talaga ako komportable. Saka ayukong pag usapan dito mismo.
"Re-really?? —ahm okay. That's good."
"You can go to work." dagdag nya saka ngumiti ng unti. Tumango nalang ako tapos Dali daling umalis sa harap nya.
Hindi naman sa iniiwasan ko sya, hindi ko lang talaga sya kayang harapin lalo na't mas naaalala ko lang ang nangyare. Boss ko pa naman sya....
Haiist makapag trabaho na nga.

"Uy Narda di ba si Sir Brian yan?" tawag sakin ng workmates ko. Pag lingon ko sa TV nakita ko agad SI Brian.

Kasama si Mayor??
"Ang pogi talaga ni sir Brian oh! —naks sanaol may Brian." biro ng isa sabay tapik sakin.
"Sikat na talaga si Pogi!"
"Artistahin!"
Napangiti naman ako habang nanonood sa TV. Medyo aanga - anga lang sya pero cute naman. Para ba kasing hindi nya alam gagawin— si Brian talaga.
I saw Brian with Mayor and I can't understand why he choosed to work with kind of people. Hindi ba sya nag-iisip??
I put my iPad down my table and leave my seat.
I walk out my office but then nakita ko ang mga employee ko na nakatunganga sa TV.
"Narda baka matunaw naman si Boss Pogi nyan." the guy teases Narda—and she was smiling from ear to ear.
"Ehem!" I cleared my throat just to caught thier attention—they all look at me in surprised and returned to thier seats.
I step towards thier Direction then peaked on the TV hanging on the wall.
"How's work?" I politely asked but honestly I'm being sarcastic.
"O-okay naman po ma'am." someone answered.
I faced Narda who was on her seat already facing her computers monitor.
"Narda please go to my office." I seriously said then leaved her behind without waiting for an answer.
When I returned to my office I waited for about 3 minutes before she arrives.
"Seat first." I told her in my serious tone. I put aside my paperwork then left my seat.
"A-ano bang problema Regina?" she asked politely.
I stared at her for a second then finally speaks.
"Wala naman... I just want you here."I utter.
" Ahh... May ipapagawa ka? "
I just want you here is clearly explaining I don't need anything else than you Narda.
"Can we talk about what happened last night?" I asked.
She paused then looked away.
"Narda I want to know what you were thinking that time." gulped* "I-I want you know that it keeps troubling me—"
"Ehh Regina wala lang yun. Ano ka ba, naiintindihan ko naman yun—wala lang yun sakin." she said then slightly laughed.
Wala lang sayo??
"Okay ka lang?" she asked in concern.
I turn around facing her back. "Yeah..."
Silence embraced us.
"How's Brian?" I interestedly asked.
"Uhm o-okay naman... Nakita ko nga sya sa TV eh."
"Ako din." I coldly utter.
I even saw you smiling from ear to ear.
"H-hindi ko akalain na si Brian ang bagong head ng task force. Nakakabilib nga eh." I heard she said.

"Hindi dapat sya nagpa gamit Kay Mayor."
"E-eh baka naman p-po ginawa nya yun para sa mga tao hindi talaga para Kay Mayor."
"Tsk! Kahit na!" I faced her.
"KAHIT NA MABUTI ANG INTENSYON NYA KUNG MAGTATRABAHO SYA PARA SA ISANG TAONG KATULAD NI MAYOR MAPAPASAMA LANG SYA!"
I'm just stating facts here and what I'm concerning more is her.
"AT IKAW! HINDI KA RIN DAPAT NANINIWALA SA BALLESTEROS NA YAN KUNDI MAGAGAMIT KA DIN!" I added furiously.
I saw how her facial reaction changed.
"U-uh—ma'am balik na muna po ako sa t-trabaho."
'Ma'am'???
She grab her things from the table then walk towards the door— She just glance at me for a second then finally leaves.
What have I done?
What the heck are you doing Regina? Sinigawan mo talaga si Narda?
Aiissst!!!
Lumabas agad ako ng office ni Regina, di ko alam pero medyo natakot ako sakanya. Ngayon ko lang sya nakitang galit....
Hindi ko sya kayang tingnan...
Haisst!
"Kausapin ko kaya sya?" sabay hinto ko sa pag lakad.
"Wag nalang kaya?"
"Haisst! Bahala na!" dagdag ko saka nag lakad palayo.

"Normal lang naman sa mag kaibigan ang magkapikonan." sabi ni lola habang nagmumokmok ako sa Sala.
Ikaw ba naman sigawan ni Regina, eh wala naman akong ginawang masama.
"Talaga po lola?"
"Ang magkaibigan na hindi dumadaan sa tampuhan hindi totoong magkaibigan yun—ibig sabihin nun wala silang pakealam sa isa't-isa."
"Ang totoong pakikipag - kaibigan pinapantayan ng panahon, dumadaan sa pagsubok. Sa mga away, at kapag nalampasan nila ito lalong nagpapatibay ng relasyon." dagdag nya.
"Sana nga po lola." sabi ko nalang sabay tango ng kunti.
Gumagawa ako ng assignment tapos nakita ko si ate na nagmumokmok sa kama, kanina ko pa yan nahahalata. Parang ang tamlay nya.
Akala mo naman broken hearted eh wala namang jowa. Hindi pa naman sila ni kuya Brian.
Itinigil ko muna ang ginagawa ko saka sya nilapitan, di ko na kasi matiis.
Umupo ako sa tabi nya sabay silip sa mukha nya na nakasimangot.
"Teh? Okay ka lang?" tanong ko.
Hindi naman sya sumagot at umiling-iling lang.
"Buti, hindi na nagparamdam yung babaeng ahas noh?"
Nilingon nya ako. "Anong buti naman? Dapat nga mas lalo tayong kinakabahan eh. Kasi hindi natin alam ang susunod na hakbang nya, kung ano pang kaya nyang gawin."
Napaka seryoso naman neto. Bakit parang galit pa sya?
*smiled.
"Nag away ba kayo ni Kuya Brian?"
"Ano?!"
"Eh kasi kanina ka pa nakabusangot ate, pag uwi mo ang tamlay mo. Nung isang Gabi okay ka naman umuwi ka pa ngang may mantsya ng ketchup sa labi eh—"
"Hindi yun ketchup!" sagot nya.
Hindi ketchup?
"Eh ano pala yun?"
"Li-lipstick." sagot nya.
"Ahh lipstick. Kala ko ketchup ate eh haha. Bat naman kalat-kalat lipstick mo." sabi ko.
"Hayss wala ka na dun, ano bang ginagawa mo? Tapusin mo na nga yun dami mong tanong Ding."
"Grabe naman toh. Kinamusta na nga eh" sabi ko sabay tayo.
Humiga na sya sa sabay talukbong ng kumot.
Bumalik nalang ako sa lamesa ko sabay upo.
Ang weird neto minsan talaga aiist—tas kalat-kalat pa mag lipstick.
Ahhh palibhasa hindi ata marunong eh di ko naman yan nakitang nag lipstick kahit minsan eh wala nga yang ni-isang lipstick —Teka oo nga noh?
If wala syang lipstick kaninong lipstick yun??
*
Pati yang cellphone na yan kanina pa yan pero di naman sinasagot ni ate.
Ma-check nga.
Kinuha ko yung cellphone nya sa desk katabi ng kama tapos binuksan. Wala namang password eh.
"Regina has forty-six missed calls.?"mahinang basa ko.
Eto yung boss nya eh...
Regina kept calling Narda's phone but she wasn't answering her calls.
She thought she totally ignored her so she stayed up late at night habang nagpapaka lasing.—she already had three bottles of wine and right now she's pouring on her glass but it seems empty already.
She stood up and was trying to walk pero natumba lang ako sa mesa.
"Re-regina!" Ali called then supports her body.
"Tsk! Ali Le-let me b-be! Ghusto kong makhatulog—ayuko na silang marinig."sabay talikod ni Regina.
" Si-sinong sila?? "
" No—ayukong sabihin. "
She turn around and faced him." S-si Narda galit sya sakin—napag taasan ko sya ng bhoses. Galit sya sakin. "
"Tama na—"
"Ghalit sya s-sakin."
" tsk Tama na. Tara na."
"uh-hu—tsk—"
"Regina Tara na matulog ka na." he tried to carry her back to her room.
"WA-wait lang yung wine—"
"Regina tama na sabi—halika na!" he said then pulled her to her room.
She just calmed when she was finally lying on her comfy bed.
Ali positioned her in a comfortable position saka sya kinumutan.
"Hyss... Buti nalang andito ako Regina, hindi lang kita aalagaan, poprotektahan din kita..."
"Kahit alam ko na may isang tao na mas gusto mong gumawa nito sayo... Hindi mo man sabihin pero kitang-kita ko sa mga mata mo. Masakit pero masaya ako dahil sya ang nagpapasaya sayo."

The Core: The First Guest (Book 1 of 3)
Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science. --- Progress update: Progress update: COMPLETE Stories:✦The Core: The First Guest (The Core: Book 1 of 3) ✦The Core: The Hive Daughter (The Core: Book 2 of 3) The Core: The Hive Daughter (Book 2 of 3) | Royal Road Stories in PROGRESS:✦The Core: The Dark Enemy (The Core: Book 3 of 3)PROJECTED Stories and Series: ★The Radiative Zone Series: The Girl with Powers (3 book series) ✶The Convective Zone Series: Into the Game (3 book series) This series is a work in progress.

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
