Code Zyrex and Agent Xero are two different people from different sides, both skilled in their field. An assassin and a detective on the same mission. A mission to kill and to capture.
What if during their mission, they meet the spectacular beggar? Pasens’ya na spectacular daw talaga siya.
Meet Reyna Anastacia Goldenhand, kung gaano kaganda ang pangalan niya, ganoon naman kapangit ang pamumuhay niya. Isang pulubi na laging problema ang pagkain sa araw-araw, nakatira sa isang improvised tent, sako na bubungan at karton na higaan. Tulad ng kan’yang pangalan, siya ang reyna ng lansangan at tulad ng kan’yang apelyido, ginagamit niya ang bilis ng kamay upang mabuhay.
Paano kung malagay siya sa isang sitwasyon na hindi lang pagkain ang problema niya? Isang problema na sangkot ang dalawa at nadamay lang talaga siya.
“Kapag namatay ako na kumakalam ang sikmura... hihilahin ko kayo sa impyerno!” Reyna Anastacia Goldenhand.

Death Whisperer
MADILIM.
Iyan yung unang salitang naisip niya nang magising siya. Dahan-dahan niyang iminulat ang mga mata niya nang sandaling sinabi ng sistema niyang dapat na siyang magising -na handa na siyang gumising -mula sa malalim at matagal na pagkakahimbing. Kung ilang oras siyang natutulog, hindi niya masabi. Kung nanaginip man siya, hindi niya na maalala kung ano.
Ilang segundo ring nagpyesta ang mga mata niya sa kadiliman bago siya mag-isip uli ng mga sumunod na salita. "Nasaan ako?" ang itinanong niya sa sarili, na alam naman niyang hindi niya rin masasagot.
Hanggang sa may nakapagbanggit sa kanya ng kinaroroonan niya.
"Hindi ito langit. Hindi rin ito impyerno," sabi ng isang lalaking walang permanenteng pangalan, na kanyang "taga-bantay."
Sunod nitong ipinaliwanag na patay na siya at binigyan siya ng bagong buhay sa bagong mundong ginagalawan niya.
