At Quezon City High School, excellence is measured by medals, formulas, and quiz bees-not by pixels or ranked ladders. Despite being top-ranked in the country for science and engineering, the school has zero tolerance for gaming culture. No clubs. No support. No recognition.
Aiden, a quiet but top-performing STEM student, is tired of pretending his passion doesn't matter. Alongside his best friends-Rei, a robotics prodigy with no filter, and Kenji, a class clown hiding a secret pro-gaming alter ego-they escape into Cyber World Online, a full-dive VRMMORPG where skill, strategy, and grit define your worth.
But everything changes when they meet Sir Jonas, a misunderstood teacher with a mysterious past and a bold proposal: form QCHS's first underground eSports team-and prove to the school, the region, and the nation that gaming is more than a hobby.
What starts as secret scrims in a hidden café escalates into high-stakes rivalries, internal struggles, and an all-or-nothing race toward the national VR circuit. With pressure from academics, prejudice from faculty, and threats from elite schools, Aiden and his team must fight for their place-not just in the game, but in a system that refuses to see them.
Because sometimes, your real battle begins after you log out.
After enduring years of neglect and cruelty from her mother and stepfather, Ariana's life changes drastically when tragedy brings her under the guardianship of five brothers she's never met and they never even knew they had a sister.
For her brothers, learning they have a sister is an unwelcome surprise. Suspicious and reluctant, her brothers see Aria as an outsider, a stranger disrupting the fragile balance of their lives.
For Aria, their home is both a new beginning and a constant reminder of the family that left her behind.
Haunted by the pain of her past, Aria struggles to adjust, her every action guarded and her trust hard to earn.
As her brothers try to understand her, they begin to glimpse the scars she hides and the strength she carries. Little by little, resentment turns to empathy, and the walls between them start to crumble. But just as the siblings begin to find common ground, the secrets and trauma of Aria's old life threaten to tear them apart. Together, they must decide whether they can overcome the shadows of the past to forge a family and whether Aria can finally find a place to belong.
