Real

I was born during the pandemic and it was not over for the past twenty-five years. Oceans were drained. Trees and flowers were no longer existing. Having water was harder each day that many people chose to die instead of surviving. I envy those people who could afford water— the rich ones and the most privileged people around the world. Poor people liked me were not allowed to get water more than what was intended for us. In other words, it was a system that dividing the rich people with limitless water sources and the poor people with limited water sources. It was a system that we needed to obey or else we might lose the life we were struggling to survive. I wanted to surrender but there was only thing that hindered me from dying— Cardinals of Auresia. It was an online game that I wished was real. There, I could build my own kingdom with my own system. I thought that sanity left me for it seemed real to me. Not until I found out that it was the solution for the suffering of the world.

Death is a conquerable thing for the clan leaders. When a clan leader dies, the gods always grant them resurrection after one year. But, when the whole council is mysteriously killed in an incident, the clans grow more restless than ever before. Any hope for unity among the tribes died with them, and nobody's going to wait for one whole year to get answers. With the council dead, and the gods' throne empty, Alice senses a motive. But, she has no target. Fearing for her own clan, Alice must take the place of her husband, Dante, as leader of the tribe--until Dante himself comes back to life. Without his memories, Aden finds himself alone in Manila with nothing but his name. To himself, he is nothing. To Alice, he just might be the answer she was looking for. Aden and Alice help each other until they both get what they want. For secrecy, the clans use Manila's criminal underworld as a front for their real intentions: a conclusion to the unending battle of the gods.

Alina awoke in a luxurious room, the wedding gown still clinging to her body. Her head throbbed fiercely, her memories were hazy, and even more startling—a handsome man named Darren was looking at her with a mysterious smile. "Good morning, my wife." Alina panicked. She didn't remember this wedding. She didn't even know Darren. But when she tried to find answers, everyone—including her own mother—assured her that this marriage was real. But something was wrong. Strange dreams began to haunt her every night. Fragments of vague memories felt nonsensical. Whispering voices in her ears. And Darren… that man always watched her with an inscrutable gaze. Who was Darren really? Why did everyone seem to agree that she was indeed his wife? As Alina got closer to the truth, she discovered something more terrifying. Perhaps, it wasn't just Darren who was hiding secrets. Perhaps, she herself wasn't the real Alina.
