Apo Aso

Meet Evan, a thirty-something marketing analyst. His life in Manila is as average as it gets, wake up to the sound of honking jeepneys, scroll through endless emails, endure the daily train squeeze, order overpriced coffee, and wonder if he should finally start working out. Except, once a month, he transforms into a wolf. Honestly? It’s not as bad as it sounds. The first few times were painful, sure, but he learned to manage. He preps for it like someone meal-prepping for the week, lock the doors, stock up on food, and let the wolf do its thing. Spoiler alert, it mostly just wants to lie down and enjoy its meat treats. But life doesn’t always let you keep your comforts. One freak accident later (thanks to a loose bolt, because of course that’s how he goes), Evan wakes up not in a hospital, not in the afterlife, but in ancient Philippines. No skyscrapers. No Wi-Fi. No explanation. Just majestic waterfalls, warring tribes, and a whole lot of sharks. And if that wasn’t bad enough? The transmigration removed his lycanthropy. Will he get it back? Does he even want to? Join Evan as he navigates the untamed rivers, snakes and crocodiles lurking everywhere, and curtailing his shame at wiping his ass with a stone. Oh, and did I mention we might have flying-torso monsters? Maybe.
