Prologue

Third person pov

"I'm so tired... " Paulo Hernandez, an 18-year-old Filipino senior high schooler living in Manila, the Philippines, said to himself as he walks down the street from school. "I had to study hard, get a job, pay taxes if I earned more than 20,000 pesos per month, and even pay my own bills if I lived on my own. So much work."

He then stopped walking and started thinking, "I want to go on an adventure somewhere. But, I can't do that. Grandma and aunt will be angry with me, just like every time I came home late and break something I shouldn't break. I want to get out of this world."

He then resumed walking and crosses the street.

But, a truck was coming to his direction, and the driver failed to step on the brakes because it broke. Even though the driver honked the horn, Paulo failed to notice that. But when he finally noticed that, it was too late. He got hit by the truck so hard that it flung him a couple of meters away, killing him instantly.

"Well, goodbye to this world," Paulo thought his last words, before closing his eyes and died on the spot.
