" Dad! "
She's running excitedly with the exam paper on her hand.
" Bakit? may nangyari ba? " her father asked while making a huge fire outside their hut.
" Tadaaaa! 100 Ang score ko sa exam!!! "
Slapped!
The excitement on her face vanished when her father slapped her.
" B-bakit po? May nagawa po ba akong mali?" inosente niyang tanong.
Naiiyak sya sa sakit.
" Don't let anyone know that you're smart ," galit na wika nito at sinunog ang test paper niya.
That was the first and last time that Katherine felt like living. Her principle was burned along with her test paper, together with her dreams.
# Don't let anyone know that your smart.
# Maintain a 75 grade.
# Aim to be the dumbest student.
She lived with these rules and planned to live with these rules in her lifetime.
She was bullied countless times. She shed countless tears. She even tried to kill herself.
Pero wala siyang magagawa. She can't defy her father, not because she can't but because she don't want to.
Until she found the website she didn't knew would change everything.
Code Game.

Kumakain siya sa canteen nang may lalaking nakamask ang lumapit sa kanya. He handed her a white rose.
"May nagkakagusto rin pala sa kabobohan mo?"
It's as if she didn't hear anything.
Binasa niya ang nakasulat na massage sa card nito.
" Welcome to Code Game. You are officially a player "
She ran and try to find the mysterious man but failed. Exhausted, she stared at the words on her wrist for a long time.
NIKKA
She's going to be Nikka.
She'll live as Nikka.
Because this is Code Game.
And players need to play.
