1 Prologue

On the 3rd of march 2043, it rained heavily as if the very sky was sad.

The sky was dark and gloomy with the constant rhythm of heavy raindrops, you could hear the sounds of Siren's from a distance and a pungent smell of the refuse dump and smoke in the area.

This was the very slums of London, where the worst of the worst fought for dominance with different 'businesses'. Drugs,illegal firearms, human trafficking, prostitution and so on.

Meanwhile, In an alley in this very place there's a body lying on the floor towered by two men in grey cover coats.

"Tsk...John when people called you trash I didn't first understand but seeing your display tonight I finally understand hahaha!" The blonde man on the left clicked his tongue before speaking to the man on the floor. The man on the floor was had dirty brown hair and pale green eyes that made it seem like he was dazed all the time. he's body was injured all over with series of stab wounds while his face was swollen as he also has purplish marks on various vital spots on his body. Clearly while he was stabbed, they avoided his vitals just to torture him.

"Hahaha Andre why waste our time with him?, its only fitting that he ends up in a dumpster don't you think?...he's almost dead anyway...remember Lucy is still waiting." Says the other man smiling in a lecherous manner as more men in black cover coats came out of the darkness

John still looked dazed, staring at the night sky as he felt his body getting lifted from the floor with silent tears streaming down from his eyes. He had finally completed the software he had been working on for years, something that allowed him to cheat and siphoned cash from the gaming company that produced the present biggest vrmmorpg in the world, "Age Of Wushu".

He had not even had the time to celebrate when the Districts Mafia Boss and a few of his men badged into his apartment asking for him to pay his debts. He pleaded for more time but was denied, Then the Boss seemed dazed for a bit before asking for his software and all his work and research which he refused because he knew the potential for this software would have to be more.

After everything they found all they need except the primary pass code which he found odd, then they proceeded to torturing him till he confessed after they threatened his girlfriend. He couldn't have her suffer because of his stubbornness, only now did he realise that he had been played all along!.

" L..Lucy, Lucy! Lucy!" He begins to chant slowly in a crazed manner, that was his girlfriend and from what he had heard from Terry, Andre's right hand man he knew she had betrayed him. Knowing this, something snapped as he used he's last strength to struggle free from the hold on him, making him crash heavily on the ground. But he seemed not to notice nor feel anything else except the half broken bottles that appeared in his view. He Quickly equips both hand with two of them as he dashes towards Andre in full force "YOU!!! We'll go to hell together!!!".

He always found it odd how he Lucy met and how easily they ended up together three years ago, but he just shoved it aside and tagged it "love". Now that he thinks of it, it all fell into place! They met the day after he had just spoken with the old programming professor George before summoning courage to lend money from Terry only to find out later that he was connected to Mafia, he had to do different dirty jobs to pay it back as time went on. The more he thought about it the angrier he became till he went berserk!.

He dashed towards Andre only for terry to pull out his gun making John halt for a second before tossing the bottle in his right hand straight at Terry making him dodge before diving onto Andre who was still smiling smugly. All this happened in only a few seconds that the two other men didn't know how to act.

He had stabbed Andre over a dozen times on his neck before he heard it!, Bang!Bang!Bang!. His actions came to a stop as he stares at his chest which had a bloody hole, then at the two other men who had the same looks on their faces as they both dropped dead. They both had bloody holes on their foreheads, as he also felt all strength leave his body while he struggles for breath. Then he looks at Terry who had a calm look but you could see the anger in his eyes!!.

"Fuck! You fool!! How dare you foil my plans! Why didn't you just die in peace?, you just had to kill him" he says while looking at Andre.

Bang!Bang!...he shot at John's legs and hands but the latter didn't have the strength to scream, he just stared at Terry. Suddenly he realised that Andre couldn't have planned all this,at least on his own as he was too stupid for that, only now did he know that it was this skinny chocolate skinned man all along.

"Umph..." As if to wake him from his daze terry kicked him making him vomit more blood before laughing, "Hahahaha!! So this it" John laughed, the laughter was so bitter and desolate that it shocked Terry to silence. 'Now I know what it means to be played to death' he thought as his surrounding became darker by the second, staring at his killer as if burning his image into his mind.

"Hmph" Terry snorted.

Bang! Was the last thing he heard as he saw Terry's gun flash.
