《Lipstick Stains》Plenary Hall (Bonus Chapter)
Advertisement
"Mag-uumpisa na, nasa'n ba si Risa?" Chel asked Teddy who was sitting beside him.
"Hindi ko alam. Si Leni nga rin wala pa dito eh."
"Diba sila nagsabi sa group chat na agahan natin tapos sila 'yung wala pa dito."
They looked around trying to find the two women. Alam nilang ayaw na ayaw ni Leni ng late. One hour before siya halos dumadating sa mga ganito, but today, she's 10 minutes away from the event that's about to start.
Chel signaled to Kiko na nasa harap, implying na wala pa 'yung mga hinahanap nila.
"Nandito na ba sila?" Leila sat down beside Chel, halatang nagmadali rin kasi nga malapit na magsimula.
"Kanina pa ako nagtetext at tumatawag kay Risa pero walang sumasagot sa'kin." Trillanes appeared behind them unexpectedly.
"Gago ka! Akala ko sa kulungan ako mamatay. Sa gulat lang pala." Leila joked.
Nag-peace sign si Trillanes. Teddy smacked his hand, "Tigil mo 'yan. Sa kabilang partido 'yan." Tumawa sila and Trillanes sat beside them.
"Si Leni rin tinatawagan ko pero alam naman nating hindi siya kaagad nakakapagreply." Chel said.
"Eh nasa'n si Kiko? Baka magkakasama sila."
"Ayun na si Kiks sa harap oh. Si Leni saka si Risa na nga lang ata wala dito. Nandyan na si Chizzy boy, si Loren...ay check mo nga kung naka-sneakers siya." Leila laughed.
"Bantayan niyo mga bag niyo baka mawala, andito na rin kapatid ni antman."
The media clamored over to the entrance of the plenary hall. "Ayan na pala sila eh." Everyone stood up to pay respect. With all the grace and poise of the president of a country, Leni walked towards the front, waving and greeting the media and the senators who were present.
She flashed a toothy smile kanila Chel and waved.

"Si Leni lang 'yan eh. Where's Risa?"
Teddy checked his watch. 5 minutes na lang mag-uumpisa na at etong si Ana Theresia was nowhere to be found. Tinanong niya si Leila kung nakita ba niya si Risa sa may restroom and she said wala naman daw do'n. "Baka nag-away sila."
"Oo, baka nga. Diba nagselos 'yun si Risa doon sa foreigner na politician na bumisita last week tapos gandang-ganda kay Leni."
"Totoo. Ayaw na tuloy ni Risa humiwalay sa jowa niya habang nasa meeting tapos pabulong-bulong sa tenga para lumayo 'yung babae."
"Hinahawakan pa nga niya 'yung bewang ni Leni sa harap ng lahat kaloka, walang hiya hiya."
"Lantaran ang kalandian niya no'n eh. Natatawa na lang 'yung isa sa kanya."
"Diba meron pa isa. 'Yung artista na biglang yumakap kay Leni."
"Oo 'te! Akala ko nga kakalbuhin na ni Risa 'yun eh."
"Habulin ng chicks talaga 'to si Madame."
Nagtawanan silang apat then Dick chimed in, "Ang ingay niyo huy."
"Dicky, may harang. Ito oh," Leila motioned to the air, pertaining to an imaginary barrier between the four of them and Dick. "Hindi ka kasali."
The four of them, Dick Gordon aside, knew about Leni and Risa's relationship. Their chikahan was cut short when the president arrived at their seats.
"Good morning, Madame Presi," greeted Chel.
She bumped their fists then bumeso kay Leila.
"Inaaway niyo na naman si Dick." natatawang sabi ni Leni.
"Deserve naman niya, epal amp." Trillanes rolled his eyes, making everyone in their circle laugh.
"Bakit ka late? Where's your girlfriend?" Leila asked her.
"Hindi naman ako late ha. I arrived exactly 8 minutes bago magstart. Parating na raw si Risa, nandyan na siya sa may entrance."
"Late na kaya 'yung 5 minutes before the event sa'yo. Laging 1 hour before ka dumadating. Bakit hindi kayo sabay pumunta?"

"Sabay kami pumunta. May aayusin lang daw siya kaya nauna na ako dito. Wait, I have to go na pala. Usap tayo lahat ulit mamaya!" Leni bid good bye and made her way to the front of the hall where she's supposed to sit.
Just when the clock hit one minute before the event starts, Risa walked inside the plenary hall and sat down beside Chel obviously breathless and in a hurry.
"Clutch time ka, bakla. Bakit ngayon ka lang?"
"Maya mo na ako chikahin, teka lang."
They looked at Risa carefully. Her hair wasn't in its usual prim and proper state, her eyes were glossy, and her cheeks were bright red. Namumula at namamaga rin 'yung mga labi niya.
Risa removed her blazer and breathed a sigh of relief. "Ano 'yang nasa leeg mo?!" Leila half-whispered half-screamed.
Napatingin silang lahat sa leeg ni Risa. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped. "Ha? Ano meron?" Risa panicked.
"May lipstick stains 'yung leeg mo!"
Their eyes drifted to Leni who was standing in front, looking at them with a smirk on her dark colored lips. The same color that was on Risa's neck.
Risa stared at her girlfriend in disbelief and shook her head.
Gaga ka talaga, Maria Leonor.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
