(Part 1)

Kael's journey in Manila was a blend of exploration, training, and immersing himself in the rich culture and mythology of the Philippines. The bustling city, with its vibrant energy and diverse history, was a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be discovered.

One day, while practicing his techniques in the tranquil setting of Rizal Park, Kael was approached by a group of local rankers. They had heard of his feats and were eager to challenge him. Kael, intrigued and ready for a test of his skills, nodded in acceptance.

The first to step forward was Lito, a wiry man known for his speed. His movements were a blur as he launched his attacks. But Kael was faster. He dodged, his body moving fluidly. With a swift strike, he landed a hit, defeating Lito.

The crowd erupted in cheers, but Kael remained focused. He knew this was just the beginning. There were more challengers to face, more battles to win. He was a ranker, a warrior, and he was determined to become the strongest.
