There are two names everyone knows at Ateneo de Manila University-the names behind the university's fiercest rivalry. Whether it's an archery tournament, an academic competition, or a university-wide event, everyone anticipates one thing: Patrizha versus River.
Patrizha Isabelle Hermosa refuses to settle for second place. A top student, student council president, varsity archer, and the campus favorite, she seems to have the perfect life everyone dreams of. But everything changes when River Tyrone Fernandez, a Psychology student and a nationally recognized varsity archer, transfers to Ateneo. Known for his calm demeanor, exceptional skills, and consistent first-place finishes, he quickly becomes the only person capable of matching Patrizha.
Their rivalry becomes the talk of the entire university. Every match, every academic competition, every debate, and every archery tournament ends the same way-they're always neck and neck. Laging tabla, laging magkatapat, at laging may gustong patunayan kung sino talaga ang nararapat sa tuktok.
But what happens when two people who have spent years chasing victory realize they're slowly chasing each other's hearts instead?

What if reincarnation wasn't a blessing... but a mistake? Sa mundong pinamamahalaan ng Threads of Fate, bawat tao ay may nakatakdang kapalaran-at isang beses lang silang pinapayagang mabuhay. Walang second chance. Walang reincarnation. Walang exception. Hanggang sa isang gabi, isang babaeng hindi dapat umiiral ang nagising sa gitna ng isang kagubatan na walang maalala kahit sariling pangalan. Ngunit habang hinahanap niya ang katotohanan, nagsisimulang maputol ang mga sinulid ng kapalaran ng mga taong nakakasalamuha niya. At sa bawat sinulid na napuputol... May isang nakalimutang lihim na muling nagigising. Tinawag siya ng mundo bilang isang halimaw. Tinawag siya ng mga diyos bilang isang pagkakamali. Pero may isang tanong na walang makasagot... Kung walang reincarnation... bakit siya nabuhay?

THE DREAM UNIVERSE
Dream Universe "What if your dreams aren't just dreams... but memories of another world?" Sa tuwing natutulog si Angel, paulit-ulit siyang napupunta sa isang mundong hindi niya pa nararating sa totoong buhay-isang lugar na may makakapal na gubat, matatayog na bundok, at mga kalsadang tila kabisado na niya kahit hindi pa niya ito nakikita noon. Sa bawat panaginip, may mga taong naghihintay sa kanya. May limang lalaking tila matagal na niyang kakilala. At higit sa lahat... may isang misteryosong binata na si Jerome, na tila alam ang lahat ng lihim tungkol sa kanya. Ngunit habang unti-unting bumabalik ang kanyang mga alaala, nagsisimula ring magbago ang kanyang realidad. Mga kakaibang pangyayari, mga nawawalang oras, at mga bulong na siya lang ang nakakarinig. Panaginip lang ba ang lahat? O may isang mundong tunay na umiiral sa tuwing siya ay natutulog? At kung dumating ang araw na maalala niya ang lahat... Handa ba siyang malaman ang katotohanang matagal nang nakatago? Sa pagitan ng panaginip at realidad... saan nga ba talaga nabibilang si Angel? Some dreams are meant to be forgotten... but hers is waiting to be remember!
