Once upon a time, there were two brothers named Prometheus and Epimetheus. These two brother were known for having a kind heart however, not everyone gets pleased by a kind heart. Prometheus and Zeus had a fight. While Zeus thinks that men do not deserve fire, Prometheus gave men fire. Zeus became furious because of Prometheus's ignorance to his powers. Because of Zeus's pride, he gave Prometheus a punishment and that is to be chained to a rock for several years.
Zeus's wicked heart did not stop there. He went after Prometheus's brother, Epimetheus, as well. He knew that Epimetheus was lonely so he asked Hephaestus, the maker of things and God's handyman, to mold a beautiful woman out of a clay. He made her his son and named her Pandora. Slyly, Zeus gave Pandora to the kind hearted Epimetheus. Pandora and Epimetheus got married and Zeus, as a cunning yet wise God, gave the newlyweds a gift. It was a golden box with a key, however, what's strange is the encryption on top of the golden box which says, 'DO NOT OPEN'.
"Is that where the story ends?" The young Pandora curiously asks. Her father tucked the untidy bits of her hair to the back of her ear. Pandora's father smiled and said, "The ending is now up to you, Pandora."

[Author's Note]
Hey guys! A lot of people have been messaging me about being jealous of Filipino people since they have the chance to read this book in Filipino. Now, I have decided to translate it in English. The plot is, of course, alike with the Filipino version. When I say alike, that doesn't mean that it's the exact copy. As you all know, Philippines is an Asian country and some of the customs and habits here won't seem to look as funny as how other people see it. However, I will try to stay with just one plot.
Please do give this story a try! <3
