A Filipino high student from Leyte, named Basilio Valencia died in a landslide but was reincarnated into another world, which is a partial modern and fantasy world with some modern technology. But thanks to an ability called Tech, he still has his phone, journal, and laptop, as well as some pens and journaling equipment. Thus, he can still listen to his favorite songs and watch his favorite shows, anime, and movies from his previous life through his gadgets.
  Seeing his creature comforts being reincarnated with him, Basilio thought that he would recontinue his partially changed way of life, but his luck ran out when he almost died in a hostile army known as the Vamzom (Vampire-Zombie) Army. That army, which a Demon Sorcerer cursed and transformed to be blood-thirsty creatures that are more like a hybrid of both vampires and zombies, was killing humans and other races that had blood with combat helicopters, pistols, and swords for their blood. But then, the army regained their humanity partially when they realized what they had done to him and the other humans and races. So, they regretted their actions and worked hard to save him. But, while Basilio was in a coma, their leader, Ruslan Makesa, driven by guilt, took his own life by stabbing himself with his Blood Sword, before placing his powers as a Vamzom in a box; he intended to pass that and his leadership to the Basilio once he survive and wake up from his coma.
And so, after Basilio had survived and woken up from his 2-month-long coma, the army apologized to Basilio and asked him to lead them, promising to be good to all races. Basilio was shocked but he forgave them, taking Ruslan's leadership with his own morals and ideals. So, after that, Basilio built a country with the Vamzom race that is civilized and friendly with his cultural traits and morals as a Filipino in his previous life, as well as modeling the new nation, known as the Ruslav Nation, after the Philippine republic.
   But Basilio discovered that there is a race called Otherworlders, which he was a part of, and took this as an opportunity to make alliances with them. But will Basilio adapt to this new life in a strange world?

 It was all fun for all of us to have some rounds and sharpen our skills in a place like this. Benjamín used his ability known as Fire Lions, which was an S-ranked, hereditary (inherited in the family) ability that summon flaming lions to attack foes, at a few scary monsters. This consumes them in seconds, and we were stunned and in awe to see that.


Katsuko already knew that because he was a close friend to him, and he was proud of him.


As for me, I practiced my magic, as well as my healing ability on any of us who suddenly got injured here.


Tej then showed his healing ability to us, before explaining to us that he was disregarded by his former party and got kicked out by them a long time.


 We were shocked, and Chivo sympathized with him and shared his similar past experience with his former party. Tej was stunned at Chivo's account and felt comforted by it.


 And then, it was now past 3 o'clock, and most of us were hungry for a snack. So, I proposed to go Zemelja's markets for a few cheap foods like bread, cheese, and even some meat pies. Basilio and Ormoc agreed, and they came along with me to that place inside the walls' perimeters while the rest of the others remained on the spot.


 And so, in Zemelja's busy market streets, the three of us are now shopping for snacks. It was quite busy at this hour, to be honest. As we browsed for various food options, Basilio said to us, "Hey, ate, kuya, this reminds me of something…"


 "What is it?" Ormoc asked while looking at him.


 "Do you remember noong buhay pa ako sa inyong mundo, pumupunta tayo sa palengke na tayong lang at minsan kasama sina mama at papa?"


That question had given us a flashback where we done that many times back in our world and back when he was still living in that world.


This moment really resonated that memory of our past together back then…


 And then, we picked up a few snacks like loaves of cheap, whole-wheat bread and a few cheeses and fruits like apples in cheap prices. Kamal's currency is called the Taanbas, and most of the food prices here is reasonable. We luckily have a couple of Taanbas on hand for this trip.
