Amid the rising skyscrapers, recent housing developments, public transport modernization programs, and new generation of influencers and vloggers, are constants in the Philippines’ society - the shamans. In this alternate world, Filipino mythological creatures intermingle in peace with humans. A tiyanak is a child star. A sarimanok the mascot of a popular channel. A manananggal a sought-after model. Even diwatas and sigbins are leaders of their own party lists. But even in this highly inclusive world, there are those who tiptoe beyond the line - be it humans or mythological creatures.

'The prophecy of The Great Bloom has echoed through history for generations, offering a glimmer of hope in a world oppressed by the terrifying Primordials. It foretells that one day, under the leadership of the Heralder—the only human ever born with an SSS-rank bloodline—humanity will finally reclaim its place atop the food chain. The Primordials, ancient, deadly beings of unimaginable power that have ruled with fear and might, will be eradicated once and for all. But humanity has always been its own worst enemy.

The forces conspiring against the Heralder would come after me next. I have to stay under the radar, but at the same time, I know what’s coming. I know the fate that awaits this world. I have to act. But how does one secretly save the world when they're marked for death the moment they reveal their true power?

The most powerful and advanced race in the Chaos universe has sent its state-of-the-art research ship into space to search for inhabited planets and, if necessary, colonize them. Years later, on their way back home, their sensors caught a strange energy fluctuation coming from the black hole they passed near. Therefore, they changed direction and got as close to the black hole as possible. At that moment, the lightning energy suddenly released from the black hole hit the research ship.
