Kaliman: I Survive with Two Sticks, a Trash Agimat, and a Bard Class!

Seiko_Yama
Growing up in the suburbs of Manila, Kokoy Kaliman often listened to his father's stories about another world—a land where magic thrived, mythical creatures roamed, and legendary warriors known as Maharlikas protected the people by taking on dangerous quests and battling monstrous threats. As a child, Kokoy dreamed of becoming one of them. But as the years passed, like anyone else, he began dismissing those stories as nothing more than bedtime tales. That is, until a series of unfortunate events leads him through a mysterious portal and into the very world his father had always spoken of. Now stranded in a land inspired by the ancient pre-colonial Philippines, Kokoy must come to terms with a reality beyond his imagination. Armed with nothing but his determination and the words his father left him, he sets out to pursue his long-forgotten dream of becoming a Maharlika. Join Kokoy on an adventure filled with ancient legends, powerful Agimats, dangerous monsters, and unforgettable companions as he takes on the jobs no one else dares accept—and witness the rise of the most powerful Maharlika the world has ever known... armed with nothing but a pair of sticks, a seemingly worthless Agimat, and the weakest class of all—a Bard!

The Dark Prince's Lover

The dance ended with a final, graceful spin. Lord Greyson released Dydra with a courteous smile, his admiration lingering in his eyes as he gave a slight bow. “A pleasure, as always,” he said lightly. Dydra returned the smile out of habit, though her thoughts were already elsewhere. She gave a small excuse and stepped away, her gaze drifting across the ballroom as if searching for something—someone. But whatever she sought, she did not find. A faint frown creased her brows. Without another word, she turned and slipped out of the ballroom, heading toward the quiet of the garden. The cool night air should have calmed her. It didn’t. “You’re letting other men touch you?” The voice came from behind her—low, unhurried… almost lazy. But Dydra’s entire body reacted instantly. A sharp shiver ran through her. She didn’t need to turn to know who it was. That voice carried something unmistakable beneath its calm surface—something restrained. Something dangerous. “I—it’s not—” Her voice broke mid-sentence. Panic tightened her throat as cold sweat formed along her skin. “Need I remind you,” he continued evenly, each word measured, “who you belong to?” The calmness was the most terrifying part. Not anger. Not shouting. Just control—tight, absolute control. Dydra parted her trembling lips again, but no sound came. Her mind went blank. Then suddenly— A hand closed around her waist. Firm. Possessive. Her breath caught as her eyes squeezed shut on instinct, her body going still. “Dydra,” his voice dropped to a whisper, closer now. “Who do you belong to?”

Chased by two billionaires

“Where did you go?” He questioned, not bothering to adjust his unbuttoned shirt. I had run away but here I was coming to apologize for my actions. “You think you can come and go as you please?” His fingers pressed against my cheeks, firm but not painful, forcing me to meet his gaze. “No, I—I,” I stammered, but before I could finish, his lips almost grazing mine, he interrupted, his tone ice-cold. “You will go home this instant,” he spoke, his face dark. “And you'll stay there till I get back,” he barked out his orders, his eyes boring into mine. “Who do you think you are to order me around,” I thought to respond but my lips wouldn’t make a sound. I didn't fight back. I couldn’t. Without another word, I turned and walked away, his gaze searing into my back. ~~~~~~~~~~ After a steamy night with a sexy stranger, Elena finds out she is pregnant.
