9 parts Ongoing MatureJack Cruz is not your average criminology professor. Sure, he gives lectures at Universidad de Manila, grades papers, and deals with annoying faculty meetings-but he also has a past that refuses to stay buried.
Once the deadliest assassin for a shadowy organization known only as The Agency, Jack faked his death and traded in his weapons for textbooks, hoping to leave his violent past behind. But when his students start turning up dead-murdered in ways that eerily mirror his old methods-Jack is pulled back into a world he thought he'd escaped.
As he digs deeper into the case, Jack realizes he's not just hunting a killer. He's the one being hunted. Cryptic messages, mysterious figures, and a student who knows too much point to a terrifying truth: Jack's past isn't just catching up with him-it's controlling him.
Teaming up with Lia Santos, a sharp and relentless student with her own hidden agenda, Jack uncovers a twisted conspiracy that runs deeper than he ever imagined. The Agency never let him go. They've been pulling his strings from the shadows, and now they want him back-or dead.
With time running out and the body count rising, Jack must confront the darkest parts of himself to stop a plan that threatens not just his life, but the very soul of the country. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes the enemy might not just be out there.
It might be inside him.
