Troy Santelmo (Joseph Russell N. Gorda)
Once upon a time in a land far, far away…
There was a boy whose courage outmatched all the others…
2024
Troy Santelmo is a fine boy. He had good features, a nice nose, a good complexion, a muscular body and beautiful eyes.
At his 2 years of age, his anger withdrew enemies because he is courageous enough to demand payment of debts even when he is just a baby.
1999
Troy Santelmo's real name is Joseph Russell N. Gorda and he uses the pseudonym or "nom de plume" for creative writing. His nickname is J.R. He wanted to escape the country because of the tragic incident happened at his neighborhood where his Tito John got killed in terrorism and hate crime. That is his origin story where he got his name because he learned that he has relatives in United States and he got a house in Troy, Michigan hence the name Troy and Santelmo from the name play or eponym "Where did you tell?" or "Saan mo sinabi?" because he is figuring out how he would tell the story of his Tito John and because of his fear that his family will get decimated in his area to escape and leave the country for good to United States.
2024
He kept the story long enough because he has no real friends to share his experiences everywhere he go and because of the fear that the enemies will learn his whereabouts and it took more than 20 years before he told the story about his Tito John. And with the advent of technology, he told his story in the web.
Troy Santelmo will also serve as the title of the book and J.R. which is his real nickname will be switched to the name Troy in exchange to avoid awkwardness. Troy Santelmo will be part of The Jack Universe and will tell a linear story with series of flashbacks to tell a cohesive story about J.R. Gorda's life and the exciting part will be watched out by his readers on how he will interact with the characters of The Jack Universe especially Jackol and Dr. A.
And this is how his story have been starting.

You might know how Superman became a superhero by his home Krypton getting destroyed and Peter Parker getting bit by a radioactive spider. Troy's love for books and reading made him the "Storyteller" where all the unimaginable things can happen by writing based on his grandmothers' moral lesson that (Pen is mightier than the sword). Troy Santelmo will serve as conscience for the main characters in The Jack Universe guiding their decisions in the stories and how they can save the Known World and the Construct Reality from the Monarchs. Their motivating factor is their strong connection to their heroes in the United States and the closeness of their names in the Known Book which is the Bible.

Troy Santelmo is now writing his very first "Fairy Tale Story"… "Si Sinauna at ang Labindalawang Artepakto". Every story that he makes leave a mark in history and fleshes to become real in the Known World. How did he acquired his powers, did he developed magical powers, discovered a magical object or just like Spider-man exposed to radioactive insect that bit him?
Who is Sinauna? Is he part of The Known World of The Construct Reality, was Troy just imagining things or was these stories were glimpses of his dreams or his prophecies?
_
Sinauna is an amazing discoverer, he discovered fire, language, knowledge, tools, and upon his search for answers for his true identity, he discovered 12 Magical Artifacts that will uncover the mystery of his real identity.
Sinauna is trapped in the past in the ancient island of Patmos and this is how the story unfolds.
Unlike the conventional hero complex that we know such as Hercules and Superman, Sinauna is a meek, shy boy with thin body but is cute.

"Si Sinauna at ang Labindalawang Artepakto"
Once upon a time in a land far far away…
Reader: decrypt language
Isang araw sa napakalayong lugar, mayroong labindalawang mahiwagang artepakto na nagtataglay ng sobrang lakas na kapangyarihan:
/ Mahiwagang Lampara mula sa Arabia (sumisimbolo ng mga kathang-isip na libro) / Kristal na Rosas (sumisimbolo ng mga pelikula) / Espada (sumisimbolo ng Gitnang Kaharian) / Pluma / Panulat na nagbabago-bago ng anyo, bolpen o lapis (sumisimbolo ng kalawakan ng isip) / Palaso at Pana (sumisimbolo ng pagiging tiyak) / Kalasag (sumisimbolo ng depensa) / Baluti (sumisimbolo ng lakas) / Bandana (sumisimbolo ng karunungan) / Banal na Kopita (sumisimbolo ng panahon) / Alpa (sumisimbolo ng musika galing langit) / Baston at Tungkod (sumisimbolo ng kagandahan at pagkakaisa) / Isang Dolyar na Barya (sumisimbolo ng paglalakbay sa panahon)
Sa paglalaban-laban ng mga Monarkiya at ng mga Elemento sa Alam na Mundo, tiyak nang masusupil ng kasamaan at kadiliman ang kabutihan at sa pag-asa na maisalba ang kaluluwa ng mga Elemento mula sa pagkawasak katulad ni Genie sa mahiwagang lampara ay itinago sila sa iba't-ibang kagamitan at ito ay tinawag na Mga Artepakto.
Ang iba't-ibang artepakto na ito ay napadpad sa iba't-ibang panahon, kaharian at mundo. Sa kabuuan ay may 100 Artepakto at kabilang dito ay Ang Mga Nabago, Mga Isinilang, Mga Dakila, Mga Tapat, Mga Hukom, Ang Labingdalawa, Mga Pinili, Mga Hirang at Mga Sugo. 12 Artepakto ang napadpad sa nakaraan sa sinaunang panahon kung saan nakasama si Sinauna na nagkaroon ng problema sa pag-alala ng kanyang pagkatao.
2012
"Sino ako at nasaan ako?"
Sa sinaunang panahon ay makikilala natin si Sinauna. Ang lugar ay puno ng matataas na bundok at kakahuyan, mga kweba at dagat at kapatagan na puno ng mga hayop, ibon at mga isda. Hindi alam ni Sinauna kung mayroon siyang kahalintulad sa lugar.
Sa kanyang pagkamulat sa pagkakahimbing ay nakita niya ang isang lampara. Hindi niya alam kung ano ito at kung para saan ito ginagamit, sinubukan niya itong buksan pero hindi ito mabuksan, nakasulat din dito ang mga alpabeto na hindi niya alam kung paano basahin. Itinago niya ito upang maging kumportable sa kanyang paglalakad.
Sa paglalakbay niya sa sinaunang panahon upang maghanap ng makakakain ay kumiskis ang lampara sa kanyang hita at lumabas ang kulay pula na higante na mistulang ispiritu na kahalintulad ng isang Genie. Siya si Prinsipe Troy Santelmo ng Ginintuang Kaharian at kilala bilang J.R. sa Alam na Mundo.
In a deep voice, the genie speak "Who are you and what do you need?, I am the genie of this magical lamp that can grant three wishes".
Hindi maintindihan ni Sinauna ang salita ni Prince Troy Santelmo sapagkat nahihirapan siyang alalahanin ang kangyang tunay na pagkatao. Sinauna: "Sino ka at paanong lumabas ka sa lampara? Nasaan ako? Hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi mo". Troy: It seems that you have a different language. (You seem to be speaking Tagalog.) Mabuhay! Kamusta! Ako si Prinsipe Troy ng Ginintuang Kaharian. Ano ang pangalan mo at ano ang maipaglilingkod ko? Ako ang genie ng lamparang ito na kayang tumupad ng tatlong kahilingan) (Troy can speak all the languages, except the language of the Monarchs. Troy noticed that Sinauna wears a dogtag necklace and he looked at it) (Troy knew his fate because unlike all the other Artifacts, he was trapped inside the magic lamp and was stripped-offed his powers and the only thing that he can do is to grant the wishes to everyone who take hold of the magic lamp. Luckily he is with one of the Elements, Sinauna, and it is unknown to both of them who is each other because Sinauna lost his memories while him in the final battle in the Construct Reality is defeated by the Monarchs and using the lamp of Genie trapped his spirit inside the lamp and the next thing happened is years of Middle Ages in the Construct Reality then the Desolation of All the Universe. (The Elements are wire-wolves who are shape-shifters that can transform into an animal that they have high affinity. Their race learned to transform into werewolves to become a pack and originally each blessed with powers to transform into an animal they have the highest affinity. Troy being the most powerful learned to transform to different animals, from the start which he can only transform into a wolf unknown to him if he can ever transform into an animal but due to hard work and perseverance, he was the most gifted and most powerful of them all because he can transform into all animals like Maui, a Hawaian Mythology God. The Monarchs do not work alone because they have The Deviants wreaking havok in the Known World and The Desserts in the Desolate Universe. The Monarchs are comprised of originally 3 Pseudo-Gods, Fiadas, Saing-atas and Duxie and due to their desperation, created another 4 Monarchs. They are bat-shifters that can transform into creeping animals. Saing-atas into a spider. Fiadas into a serpent and Duxie into a gnat.
Troy: Nakasulat diyan sa dogtag na kwintas ang pangalan mo. (Tinignan ulit ni Troy at ipinakita kay Sinauna). Jesus ang nakalagay sa kwintas mo, marahil iyan ang pangalan mo. (It might not be the name of the main character of this Fairy Tale, who is Jesus and what is the truth behind the identity of Sinauna and the name Jesus on his dogtag? Was Sinauna also Jesus and was this Jesus also is the God we know?) (Troy has no own memories even of his past or own will to do what he want. He can only grant 3 wishes and the magic lamp will once again be vanished in the land to be found by another person much like Genie of 1,001 Arabian Nights and Aladdin.
Sinauna: (May bumulong na babaeng boses kay Sinauna at sinabi na siya si Sinauna) ?: "Sinauna ang pangalan mo". (Sino kaya ang babaeng bumulong kay Sinauna?) (We learned that there are heroes and villains in our story and this time, this is different because we do not know who whisphered to Sinauna, if she is one of the villains of the story that we already encountered. We do not know who can be trusted and given the outcome of the Elements and Monarch War in All Three Heavens, it is safe to assume that it is from the enemies but Sinauna didn't know what to believe anymore. Since he has a name tag, Sinauna used the name Jesus) Jesus: May bumulong sa akin na Sinauna raw ang pangalan ko kaya hindi ako naniwala. Marahil maaaring Jesus ang pangalan ko kasi suot ko ang kwintas na may ganuong pangalan tulad ng binanggit mo. (Troy is not omnipotent too so he accepted that his name is Jesus) Another voice whisphered that said to him that his name is Jay, it is a calm voice, pure and sounded like many waters that is also like thundering claps of heaven. The voice whisphered "Your real name is Jay and not Jesus nor Sinauna." Jesus: Troy may bumulong na naman sa akin, hindi raw Jesus ang tunay pa pangalan ko kung hindi Jay. (Even Troy cannot remember his past or the characters in The Jack Universe that we know if he know Jay in the past or Sinauna) (Who is Sinauna then and who is Jesus. The second voice sounds legit and lit gave chills to Jay) Jay: Sa tingin ko mas naniniwala ako sa pangalawang boses, natakot ako sa unang boses pero hindi sa pangalawang boses, hindi ko naman asawa, biyanan o nanay yung unang boses pero natakot ako. Sino kaya yun Troy? (Even Troy do not know anyone from his past or in this realm. But he was sure that Jay is the first one he he will be granting three wishes.) (We do not know if Jay has a wife or how did he know the concept of it since he has amnesia, the medical term for difficulty of recalling his past experiences, identity or his life.) (Was the second voice the voice of God or the real Jesus?)
Upon walking to the First World, Jay and Troy got attacked by the enemies. They are unknown enemies but Jay and Troy recognized the mark on their foreheads and hands, it is the number of the beast.
