In the superior most of our body, deep into our skull, lies a huge clump of tissue made of interconnected nerve cells. The brain. The brain serves as our center of mental and motor processes. Without it, we would be like the dead. It's the most vital organ in our system, but it's the one that is not fully understood. Since the beginning of time, many mysteries have been hidden inside our brains, waiting to be discovered and understood. But despite the difficulty and dedication of experts, they still fail to uncover its hidden secrets. Well, not for long. A private group of scientists experimented intending to unlock the remaining capacity of the human brain. All they wanted was to know, but what they did was to reveal. Despite their success in discovering and exposing its secrets, the world became closer to danger. A danger they unintentionally unleashed.

The Mindbender's Journey

It was such a beautiful morning if we set aside the chaos happening right now. The sun was shining boldly, the wind cradled both the trees and our hair, and a floral scent filled the air. We'd been here in the camp for a month now. Everyone was getting bored because of our repetitive routine — eat, sleep, eat again, and if unlucky, fight the monsters. They couldn't go back to their old lives because they disappeared a month ago. The monsters, or let's just say, the Glias, took their lives away from them. 


It still hadn't sunk in my mind why the Glias did this. You know, to cleanse the whole world. Well, it was not the whole world yet, since this so-called Armageddon was only happening in the Philippines. But I was sure the Glias would move on to other countries, and when that happened, I could say that it was the end of the world. 


But what's their motive for doing this? They're not gods to pass final judgment on people.
