A man's name is important and Salip Pulaco has more than one. He's been called a pirate, a savage, a fool, and sometimes a hero, but a changed man? Now, that one is still up for debate... Feared by his enemies and loved by his people, Pulaco must find away to protect not only his family, but also his own chiefdom as his enemies descend towards him- enemies that range from an ambitious rival datu, a fleet of Conquistadores with enough fire power to burn down his village, an arrogant and spiteful princeling, an undeserving Regent, and many more. While his allies include a mysterious headhunter, a hot-head brother-in-law and a mixed-bag of warriors. This is a story of one's Identity, one's Legacy, one's hunger for Glory, one's longing for Peace and one's dream to live Free. A fantastical retelling of a Filipino classic with a dash of magic and a whole lot of blood set in Pre-Colonial Philippines.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:This novel is a mash-up of sword and sorcery and dark fantasy set in the Pre-Colonial times of the Philippines long before THE SONGS OF STRIFE story. With excerpts from A Study of Our Baganis by Lamberto Aguilar. Also this will be posted in RoyalRoad under the same username. Disclaimer:Some names used in the story are taken from the Suguidanon Epics of Ilo Ilo and Panay. But they are, in no way, accurate representation of the actual characters of the epic chants.

To find his missing brother, Senna Salazar must enter the most bizarre building on earth- a skyscraper that acts as the boundary between the weird and the normal. Worse, the maze-like tower also holds all things anomalous and dangerous. Infiltrating the bastion of humanity against all the nightmares and madness that hide in the shadows will not be a cake walk, but Senna is undeterred, she is more than willing to sacrifice herself to achieve her goal just to fulfill her promise to their dying mother. But how long can she stand firm and stay sane inside? How long can she hide her own secrets before they end up unleashing more nightmares in our already mad world?Author's Note:This is my first Filipino-English work here. It's also my first take on a new kind of genre. A New Weird genre. This new story jumps from Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Comedy, and a little bit of Drama. In short, it's the NEW WEIRD! I hope you enjoy this oddball work and don't forget to Stand Firm and Stay Sane.This was inspired by works like the X-Files, Annihilation, The Shining, SCP stories, Worm webserial, Kill Six Billion Demons, the video game Control by Remedy Studio. And lastly Gravity Falls.Chapter updates will be erratic and as peculiar as I could manage. That means Fridays... or Wednesday hopefully.…

This book contains the world building elements and some lore I took from Visayan mythology to make my Bagani Saga stories.I've also added some fragments and pieces from my published and unpublished works here.I hope you enjoy this pedants! 😊Author's note: As with all world building elements, some of the things here are inspired by facts (or in this case, Visayan mythology and Philippine History). My version does not genuinely follow the local mythology. So, just apply large amounts of suspension of disbelief if you notice something odd. It also extends to the depiction of places or the setting in general.Again, just to be clear this version is not accurate and are purely 'fictionalized'. The author would like to invoke his right to artistic liberties :)…
