Did you ever want to go on an adventure outside your subdivision in Cavite? Sometimes you find yourself stuck in a rut, going through the daily routines, and not feeling inspired.

Finding inspiration requires something to kickstart that burning passions within you to finally start functioning and producing whatever the task at hand is.

Through this first installment, Arthur discovers that the Earth was a supercomputer that was designed to discover what the Question to the Answer of the Meaning of Life is.
