February 24, 2033, 5:30 PM - Sargeant Esguerra Avenue corner Mother Ignacia Street, Baranggay South Triangle, Diliman, Quezon City - DA Corporate Center (Former ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center)Rising high above the bustling city, a magnificent new high-rise estate shimmered under the sun's rays. The towering structure served as the prestigious corporate headquarters of the DA Corporation, a vast and diverse conglomerate of businesses that had established a dominant presence across multiple industries.The land on which the magnificent building now stood was once owned by one of the biggest TV networks in the Philippines, ABS-CBN broadcasting corporation. However, due to unfair and underhanded tactics by the government, they lost their franchise, resulting in job losses and a significant impact on the economy. As a result, they were compelled to sell the property, which was eventually acquired by a young, brilliant business tycoon. His unwavering ambition and drive propelled him to great

February 25. 2023, 9:30 AM - Intramuros, Manila, Philippines - The Metro Times TV OfficeThe walk from his manager's office back to his desk seemed longer than it used to be. He didn't remember the hallway in the office being this long. Daniel felt overwhelmed and surreal. He wanted to cry but held back his tears because there were other employees around. Before returning to his desk, he walked towards the smoking area and lit a cigarette. He didn't really smoke anymore, but the stress was too much to handle at that moment. He took a deep drag, feeling the nicotine rush through his body. As he exhaled, he felt a sense of calm wash over him, albeit temporarily. After finishing the cigarette, he returned to his desk.As Daniel sat at his desk, he couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal. His mind was racing with thoughts of all the hard work he had put into the company and how it had all gone unnoticed. He took a deep breath and opened his laptop, ready to write the resignation letter

March 3, 2023, 3 PM - Project 6, Quezon City, Philippines - Daniel's ApartmentDaniel lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. It had been three days since his breakup with Judy and six days since he had resigned from his job. He felt empty like all his motivation had been drained from him. He couldn't find any reason to get out of bed, let alone apply for jobs.Despite his lack of motivation, Daniel still kept applying for new jobs. He couldn't explain why he was doing it; he just kept aimlessly scrolling on LinkedIn, clicking on job posting after job posting. It was as if he was going through the motions, hoping that something would change, but not believing that it would.Daniel's body was weak, and he hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the past three days. He was dizzy, and his mind felt foggy. The stress, problems, and pressure were overwhelming him. He felt like he was drowning, and there was no one there to save him.As Daniel lay there, he received a notification on his phone. It w

March 4, 2023, 5 AM - Project 6, Quezon City, Philippines - Daniel's Apartment*Ding!*"The first mission is being assigned."Daniel was jolted awake once more due to the sound of the notification that appeared in his mind. Although he has already accepted the existence of the system he is still not used to it and is still trying to adjust to it being with him."Take care of yourself," the system had instructed him.Daniel couldn't believe it. "That's it?" he muttered to himself.The system responded immediately, "Yes, your well-being is the foundation of overcoming everything."Daniel was bewildered. He had expected a more challenging mission, something that would test his skills and intelligence. But as he thought about it, he realized that the system had a point. If he wasn't healthy, he wouldn't be able to tackle more difficult challenges in the future."So, what do I have to do?" he asked the system."You must improve your Physical, Emotional, and Mental well-being in the next se

March 5, 2023, 9:30 AM - Mindanao Avenue, Quezon City, Philippines - On the Road to Vertis NorthDaniel sat in the car, scrolling through his phone, and watching some TikTok videos as they made their way to Vertis North. The area where the condominium building was located wasn't really that far from Daniel's old apartment; it was just that there was almost always traffic in these parts (and even most parts of Metro Manila). While watching a video of newborn birds being fed worms, he felt his phone vibrate. Checking the notifications, he saw that it was a reply from Molly."Hi, Daniel! Sorry for the late reply. I just woke up actually. :) Yes, I am free later today. I don't mind hanging out. What do you have in mind for later?" Molly said through chat.Daniel's heart skipped a beat as he read Molly's message. He was about to type in his reply, his phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. It was his mother, so he immediately picked up the call."Hi, Ma," Daniel said, trying to sound casua
