The sky didn't just break; it hemorrhaged. One minute I was staring at a seven-word sentence in a notebook on the LRT-2, and the next, the air tasted like ozone and copper. ​They call us "Awakened," but it feels more like being haunted. Every monster I put down leaves a piece of itself inside my chest—a heavy, hungry ghost that wants to rewrite my DNA. In a Philippines falling into the throat of the underworld, everyone is looking for a hero, a soldier, or a god. I’m just a student from Quezon City trying to keep my friend alive while I slowly stop being human. ​My name is Kil Salvatierra. The rift gave me a choice: be the prey, or become the thing that hunts the hunters. ​I’m done being prey.
