《Tulang Dedikado》Ika Tatlumpu na Tula

" SALITA "
Isa muling tula na maraming hindi nasabing salita
sa bawat gabing naaalala ka
at naging rason ng aking pagkabalisa
dahil sa paglisan mong walang iniwang letra
letra na dapat kong mabasa nung gabing umalis ka
at hindi na nagparamdam pa
hindi ko kasi maintindihan ang iyong ginawa
naging totoo naman ako sa mga araw na kasama ka
ngunit bakit naglaho ka na lang basta
at hindi man lang nag iwan ng salita
ganun ba kahirap sayo magsabi ng totoo
kaya ka na lamang biglang naglaho na parang bulang malabo
dahil oo, napakalabo mong intindihin sa kuwento mo
kuwento mong ikaw lamang ang bumuo at hindi tayo
hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong magalit o magluksa
sa mga sinabi mong pangako na mananatili ka
at mananatili kang andiyan sa huli ng pila
pinaramdam mo pa sa akin na maging masaya
ngunit bakit paglingon ko sa napakahabang pila
lumisan ka na walang iniwang marka
siguro nga ganun talaga kapag napagod na
hindi na kayang magpatuloy pa sa binitawang salita
na sana sa simula pa lang inamin mo na
para hindi naniwala at umasang hindi na ako luluha pa
dahil hindi na sana umabot pa hanggang umaga
ang lungkot na nadarama sa tuwing naaalala ka
kung mayroon man akong hindi na sabi
yun ay ang salitang "huwag ka umalis sa aking tabi"
dahil nung araw na dumating ka sinasaktan ang sarili
sa mga problemang nangyayari
ngunit bakit parang nagkamali
dahil isa ka na rin sa rason ng aking paghikbi
kung sakaling bumalik ka para magpaliwanag
siguro ang unang ibibigkas ng aking bibig
ay "anong dahilan bakit ka biglang lumisan?"
kung may kasagutan bakit ngayon lang?
kung kailan ok na ako at ika'y kinalimutan
tama na ang noong oras na nasayang
at mga panahong nilimot na ng kahapon
dahil handa ko ng tanggapin
na hangang mga salita na lang ang lahat sa atin.

I Am Loaded With Passive Skills
Outer yard disciple of the Tiansang Spirit Palace, Xu Xiaoshou, had average talent. However, after coming out of his death seclusion, he realized that everything had changed. He had received a Passive System with many strange, miraculous passive skills: He would become stronger with every breath. He would become stronger when he got attacked. He would become stronger when he got mocked… Xu Xiaoshou was forced to shout, “Oh God, I don’t want to be like this either. Everything I did was because I was being forced to! I am so passive!”
8 1114The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.
8 241The Lady Inquisitor
When a young woman found herself gifted with a set of powers capable of making her the mightiest being on the planet, she tried to use it to fight the wicked. To stop injustice. To end corruption. To avenge all those who have been wronged and punish all those who have fled the law. To...to make the world fair and just again. Yet, at the end of the day, the line between right and wrong may not have been as clear as expected, and when one decided to play judge, jury, and executioner all at the same time...there was bound to be temptations. One misstep, and the vigilante might have become the criminal. One mistake, and the defenders of order might have descended into the warriors of Chaos. This is the story of the Lady Inquisitor. This is the story of a woman who tried to make the world a better place with fear and violence. PS. Not affiliated with WH40k. PPS. This novel is mainly meant for entertainment, but it should get into some legal and ethical debates in the future, and I welcome readers to discuss their opinions in the comments section! PPPS.

8 89After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.
8 199Choices of the Magicless Son
I had an ability that allowed me to watch everyone. I narrated everything I witnessed. To who? To whichever being that's listening to my thoughts right now. I have a gut feeling you're there. Erik Spearhand was born from one of the many concubines of the current human emperor. The boy was insignificant. He was the only one in the whole world who couldn't use magic. And yet, his choices impacted everyone. I had seen every sort. Powerful mages who could kill with a thought. Monster people who had their own history among human and beastman civilization. And even what I presume are time travelers. Those mess with my head. And still, the magicless son was the most formidable of them all. Of all of us.
