Adrian is tall, lowkey handsome, and carries a naturally sleepy expression that masks his hyper-analytical, sharp-witted ENTP brain. He uses logic, scientific theories, and debates to handle life and block out his parents' constant fighting at home. He just wanted a smooth weekend road trip down south to skate with his chaotic best friend, Lucas, but things get complicated when Lucas text-blast invites Amanda and Aurora, the most unreachable, ethereal girl in school.
In less than twenty-four hours, Adrian's life completely derails. He gets pulverized in a street fight, his father abandons the family, and he is left with nothing but a bruised face and a mysterious brass agimat medallion. Desperate for an escape, Adrian boards a Ceres bus at the Cebu South Bus Terminal with his friends, managing to complete the three-hour commute to a secluded house on the southern coast.
But the peace does not last.
Near their remote location, the group discovers a strange, hidden mutya, a legendary Visayan gemstone. The moment all four teenagers gather close to the artifact, their collective energy fills the gemstone, triggering a violent reaction that shoots a concentrated beam of light directly into the eye of Adrian's brass pendant. The medallion reacts, ripping open a cosmic dimension that pulls them completely out of modern Cebu and hurls them into an entirely different world.
This new realm is a vast, dangerous landscape where the laws of science do not exist, and pre-colonial Philippine legends are terrifyingly alive. To survive a world ruled by ancient diwata, predatory mythical creatures, and legendary historical warriors like Chieftain Lapulapu himself, Adrian can no longer treat mythology like a casual hobby. His logical mind will be pushed to its absolute breaking point as he scrambles to map out the rules of this untamed world, unlock the secrets of his amulet, and find a way to get his friends back home.
