In the chaotic, high-stakes world of esports, Miguel Alvarez rises to fame as a prodigy known as the "Monster Mage"-the unstoppable mid-laner of Sonics PH. But behind the roaring crowds and flashing screens, Miguel hides a darker obsession.
One night after a tournament, he glimpses Caly Sta. Ines-a quiet, hardworking med tech student and night-shift call center agent-walking home under the streetlights. That single moment ignites something dangerous in him. What begins as curiosity spirals into an uncontrollable fixation. To the world, he is a rising star. But to Caly, he becomes her invisible shadow.
Caly wants nothing but to finish school and escape the grind of working nights, surrounded by friends like her sharp-tongued colleague Inra and her observant best friend Kael. But Miguel has other plans-plans that involve stealing her from the world, locking her away, and molding her into someone who could never leave him.
As the walls close in and the line between protection and possession fades, Caly must fight not just for her freedom, but for her very sense of self. Meanwhile, Miguel's mind continues to unravel-driven by a twisted version of love he can no longer distinguish from control.
AFK is a psychological descent into obsession, where love becomes a weapon, and silence is the only place where hope can survive.
