1 Ace

"Sometimes I wonder, why is life cruel to the weak? What have we done wrong to deserve this unfair treatment? Nothing!" I smiled while looking at the camera broadcasting this to the world "I believe some of you are confused on why I finally appeared, but this should be the last message before the world changes… All I can say is you need to prepare for the invasion… if you have families escape from the populated areas and if you need answers… Find me!"

Closing the broadcast I stood up and sighed, this is going to be difficult, but I will hold my ground against the monsters. Walking on the wooden floor towards the wooden door before opening it, standing there was the moment I knew I was ready for what's coming.

-----------------

Darkness, how I remember entering this world, I couldn't see, but I can hear everything, every moment I spent in the darkness and the last words I heard.

"Your name shall be Ace, remember that I love you" As she cried she continued "You are the greatest thing that has ever happened to us, be healthy and strong Ace."

After that, I was left in an orphanage, a place where all the kids got abandoned like me. I grew up in the hands of an old granny, we called her Granny An, she was a great woman but she died when I turned 3 years old. It was tragic as it was my birthday but I didn't cry nor did I mourn her death, I kept it all Inside me.

Age of 5 I was the lonely kid in the orphanage that all the kids ignored, I was someone that understood everything, I was a monster who can regenerate any wound on my body after a few seconds. As life continued I met a senior who left the orphanage a few years before I was born, he taught me how to use computers and how to earn money from it.

At the age of 12, I became the world most wanted hacker code name 4C3, it all began with games where I would create thousands of hacks with unique codes which could never be blocked and then I got bored and decided to hack big companies. I was rich, smart and sly, yes I was sly because no matter how many people tried to find me all they got was their information leaked to the world if they were bad.

Age of 19, inside an apartment crying while holding the body of my senior who taught me at the orphanage. I killed him because he wanted to start chaos in the world, I had to do it… I never thought he was a bad person…

"YOU FORCED ME TO DO THIS CHAZ!" Roaring with rage, I screamed at the dead body "I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY BIG BROTHER! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO THE INNOCENT!"

I was known as a god hacker, a hacker of justice, a hacker that made his enemies think carefully before doing anything bad. I alone reduced the crime rate of the entire world to 5% but it wasn't enough, I couldn't save everyone.

"At 2 pm the leader of the blood gang killed every child in the Sunny orphanage" As the TV played over and over. That was the moment when 4C3 became known as the Reaper 4C3. I created a site where I would pay for the heads of criminals, doesn't matter where they were because with enough money you can erase anyone.

"Who is 4C3?" The news reporter asked with fear.

The year 2015, I was sent to another world. It happened when I was sleeping, a black hole appeared, and I got sucked into it before entering a white room.

"Welcome to the Branch Adventurers Guild tutorial User ACE" A loud sound rang in the background of this white room.

'Where am I' I looked around with red eyes.

"In this tutorial, you will be taught on how to fight, survive and lead the Adventurers Guild on earth. To proceed to the next stage, please enter the red circle."

As a red circle appeared in front of me out of nowhere, I scoffed and walked onto it and suddenly disappeared and entered the darkness. I remember this place, I remember!

"User ACE, proceed to confirm your character."

'Character?' I was confused, but suddenly a large screen appeared in front of me which triggered the gamer experience within me.
