Philippines in Another World (Because Japan is too OP. Please Nerf)

This is the Philippines, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is a country of sunny weather and sweet smiles, where life is relatively simple (unless you are into politics) and where people are friendly and warm. However, it is not without flaws. For instance, Philippines suffer corruption in the government like other developing countries as well as decades of insurrection. The rich only gets richer and the poor gets poorer, while since time immemorial the country's denizens have this habit of hating their presidents and loving foreigners more than their own countrymen. It seems nothing has changed much since the famed EDSA Revolution of 1987. The year is 2042. Philippines has reached economic growth comparable to South Korea in 2022. Still, elite families control the government and social justice remains dismal. The younger population became increasingly materialistic while their parents are becoming more and more irresponsible. The problem has shifted from "how to decrease population" to "how to make spoiled kids' and parents' ass off to work". In terms of military power, the country has acquired considerate amount of firepower but remained one of the weakest in the ASEAN region thanks to politics. Worse, China and the USA has declared war against each other after a diplomatic blunder thanks to the incompetence of their respective new presidents. The world is doomed to a world war 3 while the Philippines was caught unprepared for war. Instead of finding solutions, politicians in the Philippines continued to blame their political enemies while the CBCP called everyone to prayer, hoping that God would make a miracle that make Philippines somewhat immune to nuclear weapons. Ironically, the prayer got answered in a way that is unimaginable....

Chapter 5: The Harbinger of Wrath and Greed

"No!"

A Dragonkin see woke up in her slept rather disturbed. She was sweating profusely as her heart rate increased rapidly.

"Misha, what is it?"

"Aisha..." The Dragonkin hugged her twin sister tightly as she spoke nervously.

"What did you see, sister?"

"They have arrived... The men in green have arrived. They are filled with... rage and fury, slaughtering those who stand in their way! Even dragons cannot stand against them! Then, I saw them build fortresses and devouring the land like a plague! Oh gods! Why does this have to happen?"

Aisha tried to comfort Misha's sobbing but a guard hired by slave traders suddenly approached them and whipped them.

"Shut up, beastwomen! You are not allowed to talk when you are not asked!

Aisha angrily hissed but Misha calmed her down as she shook her head.

"Good girl. Perhaps, we'll treat you better than your sister by selling you to the aristocrats. Your sister shall be sold to the whore houses to tame her though. Hahahaha!!!!"

The guard then left the Dragonkin twins. While Dragonkins are powerful when they unleash their Draconic forms, Dragonkins cannot do so without their Dragonshards. Dragonshards are the keys that unlock the magical locks imposed upon the last Dragons of the world temporarily. Without the keys, Dragonkins are no more powerful than a human. Without the locks, they will lose all vestiges of humanity and destroy all life with the powers they possess.

Now with the Dragonshards stolen from them, the twins can do nothing but hope and pray. However, it seems that there is only a dark future before them....
