YEAR 2105. PHILIPPINE IMPERIUM.

He is Elias Zaldana-a young billionaire, a prominent maharlika in the Philippine Imperium. The first son of one of the most powerful families in the empire, heir to the vast Zaldana Conglomerate. Now, he is nothing but a forsaken child-hunted by his own blood, a runaway carrying with him the most dangerous weapon ever created.

Fifty years ago, in the year 2055, a deadly pandemic swept across the world. It erased almost half of humanity and brought civilization to its knees. Halos masira nang tuluyan ang buong mundo. Wars broke out among the great nations, each blaming the other for the plague that consumed them. One by one, economies fell. Governments crumbled. Peace and order vanished, replaced by chaos that knew no end.

Some nations, like China and America, never reclaimed their power nor their gpklory. Others disappeared completely from the map. But there were a few-those who were lucky enough to be saved, or perhaps cursed enough to survive. Like ours.

Our nation was rebuilt by one man-Baltazar Alvaro-a name that has long transcended mortality. A visionary, a conqueror, a man unafraid to claim destiny in his hands. Alongside him stood his loyal comrades: Fausto Zaldana, Casian Salvador, Julio dela Cruz, and many others. They were the ones who refused to surrender to ruin, who believed that from ashes, something greater could rise again. And it did.

But what they built was not the world described in the old books. Not the democracy our ancestors once fought for. They became the system. They became the law. They became the order.

We were changed. We evolved into something more-something grander, something far beyond what humanity once imagined.

We became an Empire.

And fifty years later, we still live beneath the same names: ruled by the Alvaros, weaponed by the Zaldanas, and worked to the bone by the Salvadors.
