After falling to her death from a five-story building, pushed by her ruthless bullies, a high school girl’s life was tragically cut short. Her years of perseverance had been met with resentment, irrationality, and injustice, as if the world had conspired against her, causing her to lose the cruel zero-sum game. But fate, it seemed, had another plan. The next thing she knew, she was reborn in a world of magic, where an alternate Philippines awaited. The familiar regions of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao now bore different names, yet retained their distinct essence. Embracing her new identity, she sought to start anew in this strange yet familiar land. Having been denied the chance to truly live before, she vowed not to let her past define her. As the Filipino proverb goes: “a child burned by a candle will always fear the flame.” But she refused to be held back by fear. Not this time.
