'Walang mangyayari kung walang magsasakripisyo'

Set in an apocalyptic age of a futuristic novella, people had created a new civilization underneath the earth after the destructive and horrible cataclysmic event that almost wipe-up the entire humanity.

Kahon, was a new profound world that was created among the predecessors of such unfortunate event. Yet, a new rule was established to marginalized its community through their skills and capabilities and different positions to occupy the three existing compartments of the Kahon: Upper floor, the Bughaw from where the heads and higher ups dwells, the middle part, the Hiraya - it is where the specialist and scientist conduct laboratory research to maintain the condition of the Kahon and lastly the below, Balwarte - the common people lives, the pits of lower class and the one whom most likely to experienced  mistreatments, slavery, continues murder and violence. Some even died due to recurrence of diseases and illness without medical attention.

Leo, a common slave from Balwarte, was abhorrence towards the oppression they've received from their higher-ups, treating them nothing different than a slaughtered animals. He was fueled with rage to abolished the current corrupted system and recklessly determined to leave the god-forsaken world along with his friends when his only hope was extinguish after realizing that he was leading themselves towards demise instead. 

His life even turn upside-down when Megan, a variant who was able to manipulate invisibility, out of nowhere dropped The Project Pandora at his pocket when she was chased by the Commanders after stealing such valuable item. Knowing The Pandora holds perpetual powers and destruction to anyone who made possession with it thus Leo was just constituted forcibly to be entrusted with such destructible powers. He couldn't grasp the situation until he just woke up having the Pandora entirely engaged and circulated around his system. However, how can Leo able to withstand the chaos, mayhem, betrayal, morbid and guilt after receiving the weigh of his responsibility by possessing such supernatural potency when bloody path only awaits him along the way?

I underestimated the author. I have never actually that kinda surprised until I've finished reading the whole book. It's impressive with the exclusion of grammatical errors and spellings. But overall, the plot was nice. Reminds me of Maze Runner (2015) & Escape (2013), thus the themes of 1984 by George Orwell & Charlotte by PA Works with semi X-MEN vibes. The claustrophobic and intense feelings mixed up being downcasted and depressed knowing one of my favorite characters was exterminated just that easily without remorse?! And the betrayal that no one had wish for (not to brag, but I've already predicted regarding with this part, uwu) and yet I was just keep asking whose the real villain of the story? The Cabeza who rule, manipulated this people for ages but also maintaining the life inside the Kahon which offer temporary safetiness among its people? Or Dr. Pax who wanted to be free, at the same time letting those non-variants roam on the surface but to what extent when Leo finally able to comprehend that Dr. Pax was also wrong because of the consequences they have to face if they go out?

Reminds me of Thanos; No matter how good you are nor your intentions are, you were always be a villain in someone else's story.

And Lesson learned; thou shalt not trust strangers!

"Just suggesting, viva books should preferably edited their manuscript before publishing their works because all I can say the structure of the story sounds too hideous and cringed but I like the story much enough. I found myself enjoying it until the last pages and I couldn't get enough! I want book 2! Applause for Llorin who shared such astonishing show!"
