S City.

The capital city of the Province of Ilocos Norte, Philippines.

In one corner of the city, lies a two story house, and inside one of the rooms upstairs was a young man around late twenties to early thirties reading something on the computer before him with all seriousness.

“Dang, I never knew our country has this kind of buried history. What were those historians even doing? Bunch of good for nothing!” the man said angrily, and when the man had just grabbed his cup of coffee as he wanted to take a sip of it.

He didn’t expect that its handle would suddenly break off, spilling its content of muddy colored water on his desk!

“Really? Dammit! What luck I have tonight!”

The man quickly stood up from his seat and made a move to grab something he could use to wipe off the spilled contents on his desk.

Then he came back from somewhere outside his room and was holding a piece of yellow cloth, and it wasn’t just a simple piece of cloth, but a microfiber wash cloth used to wipe vehicles or any wet surfaces!

The man then slowly wipes off the spilled coffee while mumbling to himself, “But it's still amazing though, I wonder why this kind of history was buried and wasn't taught in school? Hmm...the only explanation would be someone had deliberately hid it and didn’t want anyone learning about it, how nasty”

He was so into his own thoughts that he didn’t even realize that he was wiping off an extended electric outlet that’s full of appliances connected to it.

“Oops!” The young man finally realized what he was doing and hurriedly pulled his hand away before it was too late.

Good thing, there wasn’t any empty outlet or he would have been electrocuted and sent flying, maybe even worse!

Soon after that, he left his room and came back a minute later holding another cup of coffee.

“Having coffee is so nice~” said the young man as he took a sip of his newly brewed coffee.

Soon after, he continued what he was doing earlier, and that was reading something about the buried history of his beloved country, the Philippines, which had caused a storm of controversies among the citizens lately as they started harping about conspiracy theories from the past regimes.

As someone who is just interested in reading and learning things, he didn’t give a damn about what’s happening on the web or the conspiracy theories that people had cooked up.

He just wants to read, learn and absorb as much knowledge as possible.

When he was finally done reading the so-called buried history of his home country, he switched to surfing through the web until he got bored with it and decided to head to bed after washing up.

The man stretched his body while on the bed, and he couldn’t help but say in satisfaction, “Hmmm~ that’s so good~!”

Soon after that, he slowly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the world, sat an observatory.

A Western man was sitting in front of an apparatus that observed anything that’s moving outside of Earth while having a cup of noodles.

“Ohh, another shooting star” said the man, and then out of nowhere, he suddenly closed his eyes and started mumbling under his breath.

And when his nearby colleague, an Indian man saw what he was doing, he couldn’t help but open his mouth and said something that he had probably repeated countless times with how frustrated his face was!

“Are you seriously doing that? That’s something we would only do when we were kids”

The western man snorted and said, “Ohh, shut up, Ryan! It doesn’t hurt to do it, you should too”

Ryan just rolled his eyes and said, “Enough of that, see the location of where that rock landed and send a report if it landed on US soil”

The Western man did as he was told and checked it out, “Nothing, but it landed somewhere in the Philippines”

The Indian man raised an eyebrow and laughed happily and said, “Philippines? They’d surely love to hear this news as they would be able to sell any minerals they can find on that rock”

Unbeknownst to them, it wasn’t just an ordinary stray space rock.

A few moments earlier.

A bright streak flashed across the skies of the Philippines, and like a homing missile, it flew towards the house where the young man from earlier lives, and just as it was about to crash into the house. The light or whatever it was, suddenly came into an abrupt halt before his room’s window and hovered there for a couple of seconds, and started beating like a heart while it emitted a soft glow.

It didn’t remain in that state for long as then it slowly hovered forward and slowly passed through the window effortlessly and arrived inside the room littered with many trinkets that the young man had probably invented, and a few certificates hanging on the walls that he had gotten from either schools or institutions.

The orb of light slowly floated down and entered the young man’s chest, and before long, a light cocoon slowly enveloped him as he disappeared from his room.

And along with his disappearance, what followed was a burst of light that enveloped the whole world that lasted for a couple of seconds.

Then weird things started happening as the things inside his room slowly disappeared, and his photos in their family photos in their photo albums or portraits on display in their living room slowly disappeared.

Any place that had traces of him was forcefully erased, and anything that’s related to him was gone.

He was literally deleted like an unwanted file from a computer that even the recycle bin didn’t want anything to do with him!

The next day.

His mother came to his “room”, which is now devoid of everything, even dust that the human eye wasn’t able to see was not spared from that cleansing, and his mother just started cleaning the place up like there was nothing amiss.

It was like that episode of Teen Wolf, where Stiles' existence was erased from the memories of his friends and loved ones.

“Aigoo~ how come I didn’t know that we actually had a vacant room?” mumbled the young man’s mother in confusion, but that question didn’t linger long as she was quickly absorbed into cleaning thinking of how she can get an extra income for renting out the place for any borders.

Meanwhile, somewhere unknown.

Another young man is seen lying on his own small pool of blood beside a rocky bed beside a calm and crystal clear river.

If any modern man was to witness this scene, they would quickly realize that the person was dressed in ancient traditional clothing, something that could have only been seen in the early days of man in this land.

More accurately, in the tribal days of the Philippines.

And like a miracle, the young man lying in the pool of blood slowly opened his eyes in a flutter and abruptly sat up and started gagging like he had just eaten a fly.

“Cough! Cough! Damn, my throat...hurts. Water, I need water” said the young man in a hoarse voice, and without even realizing where he was, he quickly crawled towards the river and started scooping a handful of water and drank it with delight and satisfaction.

“Wow, why does this water taste so good!?” The young man couldn’t help but exclaim in shock and delight when he realized that the river had a tangy but slightly sweet flavor at the same time.

“Huh?? W-what?”

Then something clicked in his mind when he saw his blurry reflection from the surface of the water.

“W-who are you!?”

The young man couldn’t help but shout in shock as he quickly turned around and almost fell on the water, but when he did that, realization finally hit him.

He quickly turned around again, ducked on the ground and faced the river like he was trying to kiss it and looked at the face reflecting from the water surface.

“Oh my god, why am I someone else!? Sh*t! This face is so good looking! Dammit! That’s not the point, sh*t!” he exclaimed in horror as he stumbled down on his pool of blood while touching his face, and then when he looked down and saw what he was wearing, it was immediately followed by another scream of horror!

“What the f*ck!? What are these clothes!? No, more importantly, where the f*ck am I and what the hell is happening!?”

He yelled in horror, and when he abruptly stood up, he was suddenly struck with a bout of dizziness and fell limping towards the ground, unconscious.

And he still had the energy to mouth the words, “F*ck this” before everything went black.

A couple of minutes later, the sound of rushed footsteps and voices appeared, the sound of their activity slowly grew in volume as the distance between them and the unconscious young man lessened.

“Are you sure your brother Rakin ran towards here?” asked one of the older men, more accurately men wearing sword like weapons strapped on one side of their waist.

The only young kid among them, around nine years old, was pale white as he stuttered to answer, “Yes f-father, Brother Rakin ran towards Huran to lure the Tigris away from us. I h-hope he’s okay”

“Let’s go, hurry up!” said the Rajah as he urged his men.

“”Yes Rajah!!””

Not even that long later, the group finally arrived at the shore of the river, and the first thing they noticed was the pool of blood on the ground, followed by a young man lying unconscious beside it, his status unknown.

When the people saw that, their faces darkened, especially when they saw his bloodied figure.

“Rakin!” The Rajah hurriedly ran towards the young man and placed his ear before Rakin’s chest, and quickly felt relieved when he heard his heart beating.

The Rajah looked at his men and angrily yelled at them saying, “What are you waiting for!? Get him on the stretcher!”

But there were a couple of things that they had failed to notice. Rakin was pursued by a Tigris, but he didn’t die, and most of all, even if he survived an attack from it, how could he still be alive without so much of a scratch anywhere on his body?

Soon after, some of the men veered off from the group and acted as their scouts, while the rest carried the unconscious Rakin back home.

And the young kid from earlier finally felt relieved, and once again became a bright kid as he constantly talked along the way, asking a lot of questions towards the warriors who happily answered him.

This time, these people didn’t know that the person that they had just rescued would bring a large storm that would bring bloody changes to the world!

A young man, now trapped inside the body of another!

This is the beginning of his legendary adventure that will be remembered throughout history!
