Trigger warnings that you might wanna consider. The Guild of The Prey is a dark academia romance story that involves serious topics such as trauma, violence, forbidden love, morally grey, obsession, murder. You have been warned. 

What is the first thing you should know about Dark Academia? Dark Academia is a literary and aesthetic genre that revolves around the themes of academia, intellectualism, and a mysterious atmosphere. It is characterised by its focus on scholarly pursuits, a dark and gothic aesthetic, and often involves themes of secret societies, intellectualism, and passion for learning.

Knowing what genre I might write next is crucial for you! I'm a little nervous because I haven't done this genre before, but let's try it, shall we? There's no harm in trying, is there? 

Here are some reminders before you open the page. Being the first story I wrote on Wattpad, this one holds a particular place in my heart and has meant a lot to me.

I'm glad I haven't removed them yet. I wrote this story in 2020, and for those of you who knew it as part of the Living the Dream Series, it will now be rewritten as "Silence Between the Corners" to fit the Dark Academia story.

They are published as paid stories in Finovel and Webnovel, but remember that you can still pick to read the first version if you like lang medyo jeje pa talaga pagkakasulat ko noon different from the way I write now.

I appreciate your patience. Since Katana and Kuragiri are my first babies the moment I began writing on Wattpad, I never imagined that I would be able to write their story again. After seeing Ate Karla's post, I made the decision to write this at nagkaroon ako ng fresh ideas na isusulat ko ngayong taon.

Let's start 2025 with a bang! 

I can't guarantee that I'll write it agad-agad ha therefore, I kindly ask for everyone's patience as I write this kasi baguhan pa talaga ako sa bagong genre na isusulat ko thus, writing this novel will be difficult for me.

Hopefully that you love this story as much as you love my other stories so let's go! Let's move the door and unravel the secrets in Averton School of Arts. 

Katana may not live up to your expectations of a perfect character, so if you're looking for flawless characters, I'm sorry to say that you won't find them here.

The characters in my writing are flawed, and if this doesn't align with your preferences, you are welcome to leave without leaving any hateful comments. This is the only request I have.

⇏Please note that all books are currently being revised, so updates will be slow. I ask for your patience as I work on them.

⇏This story will be written from a third-person point of view due to multiple character perspectives. I hope you understand.

⇏Readers should be aware that the story will be written from a third person's point of view.
