It was a world filled with legendary Philippine monsters such as Tikbalang, Kapre, Diwata, and more. The game was divided into five stages, each with five sub-stages, making it a breathtaking realm for adventurers. Its demographic was like the middle ground between Heaven and Hell, with stages adorned with flowers and places infested by Aswang and other creatures. Millions of Filipinos played the game, either solo, in duos, or large groups. The game also featured player rankings, with the top 10 dominated by Beta Testers. Yet, there was one mysterious player, “Khione,” one of the three Alpha testers of the game, who was infamous for maxing out his skills during testing. This enigmatic player was known as the “Wielder of Kampilan.” This tale unfolds in the year 20XX, on a sweltering summer day in the Philippines. The streets of Angeles City were congested, with cars honking impatiently, street vendors peddling their wares, and weary commuters waiting for public jeepney transportation. It was the everyday life of a typical Filipino. In Silverland Real Estate Agency, Illumi Garcia was having a routine day in his office. Daily, he endured the nagging of his manager and coworkers. People often made fun of him due to his nerdy appearance with glasses, though he was of average build and taller than most. Illumi wore semi-casual attire, presenting himself professionally despite sweating profusely. At first glance, he appeared kind, soft, and timid. Illumi wasn’t a popular real estate agent in his branch. Many colleagues ridiculed him for his lack of understanding in his work. His days were spent enduring reprimands from coworkers and his branch manager. His normal life seemed to be sapping his future away. As Illumi was about to leave work, he encountered a coworker, Raull, who mocked him as “Illumi the Daydreamer” and suggested he should quit. Raull was secretly envious of Illumi, as despite his shortcomings, he was well-liked by many girls due to his kindness. Illumi simply shrugged, donned his earphones, and walked away without looking back. He strode swiftly, like a Filipino eager to escape the monotony of work. Illumi waited for someone at a nearby shed, engrossed in watching gameplay from Tower of Biringan City on his phone. Suddenly, a gentle tap on his shoulder was followed by an embrace. It was his fiancée, Coleen, and her radiant smile lit up his day. Then Coleen asked “Musta?” and she smiles, a very big comforting smile coming from the face of Coleen. Coleen was a simple yet beautiful girl, with captivating eyes, a cheerful smile, and a kind and determined heart. They engaged in a conversation about their day, family, and future while waiting at the shed. "Kamusta ka naman ngayon? Hindi ba sumakit tiyan mo?" Illumi asked. "Ayus lang naman okay naman kami" Coleen stated while chuckling a little with her joke. As they chatted, a system update notification for Tower of Biringan City flashed on Illumi’s phone, warning of an impending “Breach to Reality” event. The sky darkened to a foreboding red, and the earth trembled beneath them. People panicked, buildings shook, and chaos reigned. Illumi heard shouts and saw people fleeing. Amid the chaos, he noticed a winged creature, like a massive bat, soaring through the air. Panic ensued, and one man was bitten and devoured by the creature, which was identified as a Mananaggal. “Relax! Pagsinabi kong takbo, takbo tayo ah” Said Illumi. Illumi urged Coleen to run, but she was too terrified to move. Holding her hand, he led her away from the creature’s path, but the Mananaggal was gaining on them. Illumi’s phone vibrated again, signaling the completion of a synchronization process. “SYSTEM REPORT: THE SYNCHRONIZATION IS COMPLETE.” “YOU CAN NOW USE YOUR SKILLS AND WEAPONS.” Summoning the “Yelong Kampilan ni Lapu Lapu,” Illumi stopped in his tracks, a surge of excitement flooding his being. He stared down the three approaching Mananaggals with newfound confidence. Illumi unleashed a skill known as the “Silent s***h of Mayari.” He soared into the air, performing a graceful mid-air dance as he severed the creatures’ necks, creating an eerie silence in the aftermath. The onlookers were left in awe of his skill. As he landed, panting and exhausted, he searched for Coleen, only to find her running away, having forgotten his presence. However, she collided with a mysterious figure, shrouded in tattered cloak. The figure drew a sinister sword, the “Ice Kampilan of Lapu-Lapu,” with a dark hue. In an instant, the figure stabbed Coleen, sending shockwaves through Illumi. He rushed toward the attacker, his rage and determination overcoming him. Ignoring the pain and exhaustion, Illumi swung his Kampilan at the mysterious assailant. As the two locked in combat, the mysterious man conjured a portal with a knife, attempting to escape. Illumi pursued him, his eyes filled with agony and despair. But just as Illumi was about to strike the final blow, he lost control, his strength waned, and he collapsed. When illumi was about to passed out, he saw three person walking towards Coleen and covering him some lambal Everything turned dark as Illumi passed out, he whispered the name of Coleen. Yet, the story was far from over. His phone displayed a message: “SYSTEM RECONFIGURING . . .” “LOGGING IN. . .” “WELCOME, PLAYER KHIONE.”
