Eighteen-year-old Nathaniel Carpio has been having chicken inasal with his best friend Elena Dizon at their favourite sidewalk grillery for four years now, and he likes that things are always the same. It only makes sense that when Tala Tales Games offers college scholarships to a select few, they should go for it, right? Nat certainly thinks so—there’s nothing better than spending the rest of his life with Lena doing something they both love. But in pops a new challenger—Rafael Antonio, the world-renowned Filipino voice actor for the hero Apolaki in Mitolohiya. Now, star-struck Lena spends all her time bonding with her online idol, and Nat starts to feel more and more like a boring Non-Playable Character with zero chance against the Big Final Boss.
