In a near-future Philippines, gratitude isn't just a virtue - it's currency.
Every favor, every good deed, every ounce of utang na loob is tracked on a national Gratitude Ledger, a system that decides whether you get food, medicine, or even the right to live in the city. The rich climb higher through influence, while the poor sink deeper into unpayable debt. This cycle is the norm; views matter, lives don't.
When a struggling mother's sick child becomes the center of a viral livestream, her family's suffering turns into a nationwide spectacle. Sponsors line up to "help," but the price of salvation is higher than she ever imagined. Because in this system, nothing is free - and some debts are paid in blood.
How far would you go to save the one you love... when the whole world is watching?

Lucy is disturbed when Virgo appears. She warns her of a silver key spirit that has been changing things around, and messing with the flow of the Celestial World, and that he has opened a gate by himself and is currently in Magnolia. Later on she meets this spirit, and it's unexpected power causes a life threatening problem.
Lucy later discovers her true identity, and what she was capable of all along. She has a power like no other, and this 'spirit' is the only one who knows the full story. As her strength progresses, lives are lost and tragedies are constantly happening, sending Lucy into a panic. Can she really save everyone at once, without a sacrifice?
And with everything going on, Lucy's feelings for Natsu begin to grow...
At first it was nothing. And then...it was everything.
I hope you enjoy!
