Chapter I

In the year of 4384, a baby boy with a peculiar hair color that bears resemblance to pink bubble gum, was born. Due to complications during his birth, his mother sadly perished. Because of the mother's rare blood type, there wasn't much they could do to save her life. Once Mr. Greenfield was told the sad matter at hand, his heart shattered completely. His great sorrow made him lose connection with everything and everyone. The mother, however, knew of the chance of her passing during labor and left almost everything ready for her newborn before her demise. Only time could now heal Mr. Greenfield. Just like that, time passed and flew by in a rushed manner. There was a boy, soon to be a man, waiting in his room with some kind of fear emerging in his eyes.

That boy was Andrew James Greenfield, a 17-year-old teenage boy whose life hasn't been easy. Andrew experienced a lot of unfairness treatment throughout his life, but he never let that stop him from trying to be happy and comfortable despite how cruel the world was to him. Andrew was born into a wealthy family. His last name alone could open whichever new path he wanted to go on. There wasn't anything a Greenfield couldn't do. They hold 80% of the world's economy. The wealth came from the boy's mother Katherine Elizabeth Greenfield. Her family was the creator of the first ever actual full functioning AI. The name was Akira, Japanese word meaning wisdom. Akira able to do anything you could imagine. Since everyone relied on smart gadgets, she was able to connect to anything you need it her too. Different companies tried to build an exact replica, but they failed every time they tried to do so. No one was able to find a way to replicate the simple interface of the system. The Greenfield company expanded to construction, agriculture, education, and transportation, overlooked by Akira. Now in this age, there was no need for humans to do anything. The Greenfield family didn't believe in taking people's jobs but to make everyone's lives better. The system got so advanced that there was no conflict between humans; they lived peacefully and in harmony with each other. With all these advancements, humans are thinking on expanding to different parts of the universe and explore new possibilities.

Even if everything in the planet was thriving, Andrew's life was complicated. His life was full of sorrow and mistreatment from the moment Mrs. Greenfield's passed away. The life for the boy was set in stone from that point forward. His life was always so miserable and tragic. Mr. Greenfield would always neglect and hurt the child. The child was blamed by everyone for the death of the beloved lady Katherine. Mr. Greenfield got remarried after 5 years of his wife's passing. The new misters had a daughter who was 7 and a son who was 13. The new Mrs. Greenfield was a nasty lady who hated Andrew and mistreated him as well as her oldest child. The little girl on the other hand, didn't understand why everyone hated the pink haired boy. She would try and play with him and make him company every time she could. Even though she would get reprimanded every time she did.

One awful night after getting beaten up by his drunk father as usual, a strange man broke into the Greenfield manner with guns. The strange man was trying to find the head of the house and Akira set the house on lock down and everything turned dark. Only a red light partially aluminate it the vicinity room. The little boy tried to get up to get to the false wall mirror that led to a hidden corridor to a safe room. Once inside you could see from the inside of the corridor to the other side of the mirror. The boy saw his father laying on the floor passed out and even though his father mistreated him, he never felt any type of resentment towards his father. Andrew always saw his father with love and respect, he just thought that his father was lost and that one day he would find his way back to the kind man he used to be. The scrawny teenage boy tried to carry his father but failed to do so. He could hear how the voices of the men were getting closer. Therefore, he had to hurry and find a way to move his father into the corridor. He looked at his twin side mattress and finally an idea crossed his mind. He opened the false mirror and puts his father on the mattress. His beaten-up body aches from struggling to push and pull the mattress, moving as fast as he could rushing from the head of the mattress and pulling. Then, rushing to the other side and pushing when finally, he manages to push the small mattress into the corridor. Even so, it was too late, the doorknob started turning. The only thing he could do was close the mirror shot and give two steps. The intruder wearing all black with his head covered, saw him just standing there, trembling in fear.

"Where's the Greenfield bastard!" he shouted.

Andrew was full of fear and confused as to why the intruder was looking for his father. Since Andrew was unloved and unwanted by his father, he decides to play as bait.

"I'm Andrew James Greenfield the oldest son of James Harold Greenfield. What's your business with my family?"

"I've never seen you in the news, but you must be that bitch's Katherine son." he responded.

Andrew felt angry by hearing the intruder disrespecting his mother, but he was weak. There was nothing he could do against this man. All of a sudden, everything went black. The man in black had hit Andrew in the face with his gun knocking him out instantly. A huge explosion tremors the mansion, waking Mr. Greenfield out of his drunken state. Once awaken, he confusedly tried to get up stumbling back and forth. Noticeably still dealing with the side effects of alcohol, he tried getting to the safe room.

After a few minutes of walking, he managed to get to the safe room. A colossal metal door stood in-front of the drunken fool hitting and screaming at the door to open at once.

"Welcome Mr. Greenfield, most of the family has safely arrived. The authorities will arrive shortly." Akira announced to the master of the house.

He thought to himself "Almost all of my family". Once the door opened, there was about 9 holographic screens and a group of people sitting down on a long modern gray sofa. Once in the room, he saw a little girl crying and shouting for someone to save Andrew.

"Mom we have to go safe him please! Hurry they're taking him! Let's hurry! Please mom, let's go!" the girl cried.

"We can't do anything for him anymore sweetie. I'm sorry, but I'll get you someone else to play with." Mrs. Greenfield carelessly replied.

"Who's gone? Who's missing?" Mr. Greenfield asked worriedly.

"Oh, no one my dear, it's just Andrew. The ones who broke into the house took him my love, but we're all fine."

"Oh, him…wait Andrew's gone!" Mr. Greenfield said in shock.

"Oh him, he saved you thanks to him you weren't taken or worst, killed! He risked his life for you even after you have always mistreated him, he saved you. We all saw him pushing you into the passage while you were passed out from drinking like always. He didn't have time to jump in, so he closed the door of the passage and stayed behind." The little girl spouted angrily.
