Excerpts from the story: "You know," he said after a while, "when you said you were going out to commit a crime, I half expected you to be robbing a bank or something." Meilin snorted. "Please. I have more finesse than that. Besides, why steal money when you can steal someone's peace of mind?" A chuckle escaped Meilin's lips despite herself. "You're waltzing into a hurricane, Zhao Jingshen." She was talking about being in a relationship with her. "Then be my eye of the storm," he challenged, swinging open his car door with theatrical flair. "Shall we embrace the tempest?" Meilin arched an eyebrow. "Who would believe the ice-cold CEO of Zhao Corporation could melt so thoroughly?" "Well!" Laughter danced in his voice. "What's a man to do when his wife decides to play runaway bride? I'd turn myself inside out if it meant keeping you in my orbit."

GLOOMISERY SERIES #2 "Ngayong gabi ikaw ang canvas ko. Magpipinta ako sa iyong katawan gamit ang aking dila. Lulunurin kita ng mga kulay gamit ang aking bibig." ***** Hinawakan niya ang kanang kamay ko at sinimulan niyang magpinta. Sa gabing ito para kaming nagsasayaw sa malambing na musika gamit ang brush. Nasa likod ko lang siya at rinig ko ang pagtibok ng kanyang puso na parang payapang alon sa karagatan. Sa bawat paglikha ng bagong imahe sa canvas ay parang isang paglalakbay na sa huli ay babalik din kung saan nanggaling. __________________________________ Quotes are not mine.

Canvas of Prophecy: Synopsis Canvas of Prophecy is a mystical fantasy about a gifted artist named Elias, whose paintings hold the power to predict—and influence—the future. Set in a world where art intertwines with magic, the story explores Elias's journey as he discovers his ability to create prophetic paintings and navigates the dangerous consequences of wielding such power. The Artist's Awakening Elias, a talented yet struggling painter, begins experiencing strange, vivid dreams that compel him to create mysterious artworks. These visions manifest on his canvas, depicting scenes of events that have not yet occurred. Unaware of the power he holds, Elias completes a painting of a city engulfed in chaos, unaware that he is seeing a future catastrophe. The Prophetic Commission One day, a mysterious stranger commissions Elias to paint a specific scene, promising great rewards but offering little explanation. As Elias works on the piece, he begins to notice that the events in the painting are coming to life. Realizing his paintings can alter reality, he is both awed and terrified. The stranger later reveals that Elias’s gift is part of an ancient prophecy, and that many will seek to control his abilities for their own gain. The Hidden War Elias soon becomes entangled in a hidden war between powerful factions who seek to control the prophecies. Some view him as a tool to shape the future, while others fear the consequences of tampering with destiny. A protector known only as "The Guardian" joins Elias, vowing to shield him from those who would exploit his gift, but even among his allies, trust is fragile. The Struggle for Control As Elias learns more about his powers, he discovers that he is not the first artist to possess this gift. Ancient prophecies have been painted before, each leaving behind traces of their power. He begins to unlock forgotten techniques of prophetic painting, guided by whispers of past visionaries. However, the more Elias uses his abilities, the more he struggles to control the visions—each stroke of the brush brings him closer to madness. Betrayal and Loss Just when Elias believes he understands his role in the prophecy, a devastating betrayal from within his trusted circle shatters everything. One of his closest allies reveals themselves as a double agent, manipulating Elias to fulfill a dark agenda. The betrayal unleashes a chain of events that threaten not only Elias’s life but the future of the entire world. The Final Masterpiece With time running out and the world teetering on the edge of chaos, Elias realizes that the only way to prevent catastrophe is to create one final painting—a masterpiece that will either reshape the world for good or doom it to eternal darkness. The process requires an unimaginable sacrifice, one that forces Elias to confront his deepest fears and darkest desires. A New Era of Prophecy In the final confrontation, Elias’s last painting brings the prophecy to its culmination. The canvas he creates holds the fate of the world, intertwining hope, love, betrayal, and sacrifice. The world is forever changed by the power of his art, and a new generation of prophets emerges, carrying forward Elias's legacy. Canvas of Prophecy is a story about power, destiny, and the consequences of trying to control the future. It explores themes of creativity, the burden of knowledge, and the moral dilemma of shaping reality through one’s art. As Elias battles external enemies and his inner demons, he must ultimately decide whether he will use his gift to save the world—or become its greatest threat.
