A Prequel to the Tales from the Dark District series...
Sometimes being a fish out of water can be a good thing. Only two things can happen. Either one adapts to the environment or simply peters out from intractability. Enter David Lansing, a half-Filipino call center trainer whose normal life took an unexpected turn when he suddenly woke up and is presented with visions and a spirit guide to boot!
Why was he seeing things?
Who is the Guide and what did he want from him?
​
Peppered with appearances like the Tikbalang, Aswang, and even the White Lady of Balete Drive, all part of Philippine folklore and urban legend, the story traces David's existential journey of becoming; from his skepticism to a new sense of self and of the world that he lives in.
All operating with the promise that the prize he seeks is waiting just around the corner; a visit to a place where people like him are common and living the most normal of lives; a place that is known only to a few and yet is the most sought after; the magical community of the Dark District.

Didn’t expect this. But I was pleasantly surprised. And whoever gets to read this will certainly feel the same way. Imagine a world where your dreams manifest. Are you ready to face it? Explosive! A tale of relationships, self-discovery, and everything else in between.
Jane Vergara, Author of Breaking the Scroll trilogy
I could sum up this book as sort of a lovechild of Anne Rice and Simon R. Green. This book belongs somewhere in between.

I swear this one has got the feels and made me all hot and revved up at the same time. How I wish that
there was a real place such as the Dark District. If you know how to go there, just point me towards the right
direction and I'll be on my merry way! Snap!

We brought it to Miriam College and then to Indi and Neil's alma mater, the University of the Philippines.
Time to head over to mine and try out how the students of the University of Santo Tomas like their chicken. As per the second and previous challenge, the winning record held by the University of the Philippines students was 15!!! Can my alma mater meet or surpass the current record?
