Prologue
Zaine Sy is just an ordinary, nobody, nerdy, unappealing girl. Despite her family's fame and name, she was treated like trash in her school–FMA. Her parents think the bullies have already stopped bullying her, but that's what Zaine always says.
Zaine's parents love her dearly and deeply. So does her. Zaine is their only child. Unlike other wealthy businessmen and women, her parents always have time for her. They have a very close relationship. Until her parents died without her knowing how and why.
An accident came up that made everyone thinks that Zaine Sy is dead.
Zaine changed her name. Her face. She learned new skills. She learned how to fight. With the help of Leviathan. An organization once ruled by her own parents. There she met new people, bad and good. She experienced new things she couldn't even imagine before.
Of course, Leviathan has an enemy. Like all other organizations, this one also has an enemy. The Leaden Hellbound. As corny and lame as it sounds, the Hellbounds are no joke. They wanted to kill the Leviathan. That's their goal.
Zaine's life completely changed when she met this 'gangster-like group. From Zaine Sy, she is now addressed as Colleen Madrigal.
Every day is a new mystery day with a new case to solve. Her life is now like a never-ending mystery brought by her parents themselves. She starts having bad dreams. She starts investigating everything.
Little does she know, she will be the next Master leading the whole Leviathan and replacing the current unknown Master.

I thought I'm just a nobody,
I thought I'm just a victim of bullying,
I thought I knew my parents,
I thought I knew myself.
At least I was right in not wishing for a thrill in my life. Because now that my life is full of thrill, I don't know how to escape it anymore. Or will I even escape it.
Simula ng malaman ko kung ano talaga ang mga magulang ko, nagbago ang pananaw ko sa mundo. Nagbago ako. At ngayon kailangan ko ng tapusin ang naiwan nila. Alam kong hindi iyon magiging madali. May mawawala sa akin. Ngunit may dadating din naman. Masasaktan ako, oo, pero makakasakit din naman ako.
Panibagong mundo ang papasukin ko. Nasa kalaban din ang kalamangan. Hindi ko alam kung ano mangyayari sa akin.
But my will to do everything is stronger than anyone. I will not rest until the truth is known. I will not stop until I know who's my parents’ killer. Righteousness will be served and I will be there to witness it.
At this new flow in my life, death is inevitable.
"There is no perfect life, I know that, even though I don't feel alive."

Strapping Falsity Chapter 10: Of yore
ZaineMiss Eli is our literature teacher. She is our first-afternoon teacher. Matapos naming magbayad ay agad kaming bumalik sa room namin. Pero sila Abby, Owen, at Cathie ay bumili pa ng soda sa canteen. Kakaunti pa lang ang tao sa classroom dahil maaga-aga pa naman. “Dude,” Si Skyler na tumabi sa’kin. “Magpapasukat tayo ha.” I nodded. Buti na lang din at pina-alala niya, nakalimutan ko na. Muli kong nilabas ang background reports na kanina ko binabasa at nagbasa ulit. I’m halfway done and I think I can finish it tonight. Nagpatuloy lang ako sa pagbabas hanggang sa dumami na ang tao sa room. Nakabalik sila Abby at kapwa nasa sariling upuan na sila. Bumalik na rin si Skyler sa upuan niya dahil dumating na si Faeri na katabi ko sa kanan. Binalik ko na rin ang binabasa ko dahil dumating na si Miss Eli. “Good afternoon, section three.” Bumati ito.Sabay-sabay kaming tumayo at bumati pabalik, “Good afternoon, Miss Eli.” “Take your seat.”Umikot ang mata ni Miss Eli sa amin at hum

Zaine Sitting at a circular table with ten other people including Skyler while laughing at each other’s jokes feels so new to me.I remember always being alone and lonely whenever I’m at our school cafeteria, or even anywhere. Noon ay halos puro libro ang kasama ko kahit saan ako magpunta. And I must admit that having someone’s company sounds nice. Since this is my “first day” at FMA, halos puro introduction ng mga kaklase ko ang nangunguna sa usapan. At sa labing-isang taong nakaupo ngayon pabilog sa isang lamesa, tanda ko ang lahat ng sinabi nila. “Bale boring pala sa Central School?” si Abby. Natawa ako sa pagkaprangka nito. “Abby,” nahimigan ko naman ang banta sa boses ng kakambal nitong si Owen. Katulad ng kakambal nito ay may ‘masungit’ na aura din ito. “What? Nagcoconclude lang naman ako,” depensa ni Abby na nasa tabi ko habang iniikot ang buhok sa kamay. “To answer your question Abby, yes. Medyo boring sa Central School kasi masyadong strict.” sumagot si Skyler. I love h

Zaine Three months later…“3 minutes. Not your best.” Bungad ni Skyler nang huminto ako sa harap nito galing sa pagtakbo. “I’ll do it again.” Hinihingal kong sinabi. Hinabol ko ang hininga ko at pinuwesto ang sarili sa pagtakbo ng hindi hinihintay ang sasabihin ni Skyler. “Hindi na, magpahinga ka na lang sa loob. Prepare yourself tomorrow.” Matapos niyang sabihin iyon ay sumilay na naman ang ngisi sa mukha nito. Simula na ng pasukan bukas sa FMA. Kailangan kong bumalik duon para simulan ang misyon ko. Sa loob ng tatlong buwan ay wala akong ginawa kundi magsanay. I spent the first month trying to familiarize myself with my new "schedule". Sinikap kong makisabay sa mga iba pang nagt-training na hamak na mas magaling sakin. On the second month, kung saan sanay na ang katawan ko sa literal na pagbubuhat ng mga bagay, duon ko napansin ang pagbabago sa akin. I felt more distant towards people around me. May pagbabago rin sa pisikal na anyo ko. Napansin ko ang paglaki ng balikat at

Zaine “You heard me right. Starting today, everyone should address you as Colleen Madrigal. Like what you’ve heard, Zaine Sy is dead.” Narinig ko na naman iyon. Skyler left me hanging. Matapos niyang sabihin iyon ay pumasok siya sa loob na parang wala lang. Ako naman ‘tong sumunod lang din. Wala masiyadong tao sa loob. Kung bibilangin ay hindi hihigit sa sampo ang nandoon. Puro may edad na rin ang mga ito dahil sa itsura nila. Kahit ganoon ay nararamdaman ko pa rin ang awtoridad sa kanila. I can barely speak knowing their eyes will be on me if I do that. Ipinakilala lang ako ni Skyler sa kanila. I didn’t feel the need to talk for myself do I didn’t. Matapos lang n’on ay sinabihan ako ni Skyler na tanggapin ang pakikipagkamay nila at hindi na sila paghintayin pa. I was stunned when one of them pulled me into a hug. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko kaya wala na lang akong ginawa. Ramdam ko ang sinseridad sa yakap niya at dahil din doon ay bigla kong naalala ang magula

Zaine I can’t believe 2 days have already passed. It doesn’t feel like two days, it feels like a week. So much happened in those two days. Skyler kept on shoving things and infos inside my head. It’s kind of my fault though. I told him to tell me everything I need to know. First, and I think the most important thing of all, The Leaden Hellbound. They are just the Leviathan’s combatants. Their enemy, rival, nemesis, or whatever you call them. “Boo, Zaine, you’re occupied again.” Skyler uttered. Skyler and I became close. There’s no denying that. Hindi naman siya mahirap ka-bonding. He’s an optimistic person. “I still have a lot to think through, Skyler. So do me a favor,” pilyo akong ngumisi. Nagtaas lang ng kilay si Skyler, nag-aabang kung ano ang pabor ko. “Get me new clothes, this gown is itching me to the core.” He rolled his eyes at me in frustration. “I can’t, you’re still a patient here.” “And I’m fine now! Konti na lang at gagaling na talaga ‘tong paa ko. I don’t

Zaine“Zaine Sy died two weeks ago, from a fire.” Those words are stuck in my head. “What do you mean?” Narinig ko ang kaba sa boses ko. I’m shaking. “Here,” nakayukong inabot sa akin ni Skyler ang isang pirasong papel. “It’s a..” he stuttered. Tinuro niya ang papel kaya kinuha ko ito. My jaw dropped looking at the paper. Parang hindi kapani-paniwala ang nakikita ko. “A death certificate? With my name on it?” I asked Skyler. Umaasa akong sana mali ang nakikita ko. Dahil imposible ‘to. Buhay pa ako. I admit that I wanted to die, pero hindi naman ‘yun tinupad ni Lord. “Skyler, this is driving me crazy. You have got to give answers, right now!” I shouted.Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong maramdaman dito. Pakiramdam ko ay nababaliw na ako dahil sa mga nangyayari. Hindi nagsalita si Skyler at kinuha ang upuang ginamit niya kanina. Nakita ko ring natigilan ito at saglit na napatitig sa sahig. Siguro ay nakita niya ang basag na salamin. Hindi na niya ito pinagtuunan ng pansin at

Zaine “The fire is too big, we can’t do this.” “We can if you’ll just shut up.” “Shit!” “Help me, get to her other side.” “What?” “Grab her feet you dumb fucker!” “Watch your mouths! Please!” “Why? Are they too entertaining for me to watch them?” “Hala, sige. Ang susunod na mag-E-english makakatikim ng sapak.” “I wonder what that tastes like.” “Pure pain, if you’ll ask me.” “Gladly, no one is asking you.” “Right words, sister.” I don’t know how I remembered that conversation. Basta naalala ko lang. I also remembered our house burning and I can't do anything about it because I can't move. I’m so weak. But also, deep down, I know and I hope it's my end. “Wakey-wakey, sleepyhead.” Nang dahil sa gulat ay naibukas ko ang mga ko. Agad akong napadaing dahil sa liwanag na bumungad sa akin. Lalong sumakit ang ulo ko dahil doon. Dahan-dahan akong umupo sa kinahihigaan ko. I can't open my eyes, everything just seems so bright and it’s too much. Nang masanay na ang mg

ZaineDo you know the feeling when you just want to disappear in a blink? This is that moment.I feel so stupid for trusting those bullies and for thinking that they’ve changed. Gusto kong umiyak, manakit, at tumakbo papalayo sa kinatatayuan ko ngunit maski ang huminga ay hirap akong gawin. Nananatiling maingay at malabo ang paligid ko. Dahil rin siguro punong puno ng pulang likido ang pagmumukha ko at wala akong lakas para punasan man lang iyon.I almost jumped a little when someone covered me with a blanket maybe. Whoever it is was shouting and telling everyone to shut their mouths.“Go cry to your parents now Zaine Sy! Maybe join them in heaven!” In a snap, I found myself running aggressively towards the bitch that said that and put her on the ground with my hands on her neck.“Say that again, Stella.” Puno ng galit ko itong sinabi. I can see her pale face turning red and gasping for air. Her hands are trying to reach for my face but I’m making her too weak. Few pair of hands tr

Zaine I can't imagine life without them. Third year ko pa lang ito, oo. Though, I'm already 17 years old. Sabi ng mga magulang ko nahinto ako sa pag-aaral noong grade 3 ako. Dahil nabubully daw. Now, I know what to do I just don't know how to do it, without them. Days passed at hindi ko na binilang ang mga araw na iyon. Hindi ako pumasok sa eskuwelahan simula ng iburol sila. Our school principal allowed me. Sabi niya ay pumasok na lang daw ako kung kailan kaya ko na. Paano y’on? Hinding-hindi ko ito kakayanin. Ulila na ako, I have no parents, grandparents. I have no family left. A tear rolled down my cheeks while I’m looking at my parents’ coffin. Naalala kong kahapon pa ako pirming naka-upo sa inuupuan ko. Wala pa akong kain, tulog, ligo o ano pa man yang dapat gawin araw-araw. Nakatitig lang ako sa litrato ng mga magulang ko. There were massive flowers beside their coffin. It almost look like a garden, but unlike butterflies, we have coffins with my parents breathless inside
