Chapter 1:
The hot summer ray shined upon the shed that sat isolated in the field.
An sea of trees visible for miles around that shed blockaded it from the surroundings.
In that lonely isolated shed, sat a single boy.
His CRT screen shone with lines of code, cascading for what seem like an eternity.
And, there, at the end of the line, stood a single line left.
A single sentence before it is perfect.
"Enter."
With that proclamation, a invisible wave began to spread from the shed, with the CRT monitor as its center.
"Hello World."
Two words flashed across the screen, before the boy vanished.

Cyberworld ALICE
Advanced Life In Cyber Environment
It appeared 6 months ago, surfacing from the traces of the underworld.
Mysterious disappearances, unaccounted for, spread throughout the world.
At first, it begun slowly.
A few homeless individuals, whose disappearance was not even accounted for, vanished in a underpass.
Then, a few more.
Slowly, but surely, those who lie at the bottom of society vanish.
Like a malicious beast, it slowly spread it claws to all aspects of society.
Finally, it happened.
Three thousand individuals, all at the apex of society, dissipated into thin air.
Scions of rich families, CEO, and such.
The world was thrown into chaos.
Present day.
"President Yukishiwa disappearance in the middle of a parliamentary sessions has sprouted waves of protest calling for the media to reveal the truth. Protest has been ongoing for the 7th day even as the Parliament moved to enact a new President"
He, with a hair of lustrous white, sat in the middle of the train station.
Fiddling with the phone in his hands, he looked on at the crowds in disinterest.
"Foolish people, living their lives like flies, without purpose."
Such a statement came from his mouth, as the remaining few people boarded the train heading to Tokyo.
His fingers danced across the phone dial, before coming to rest on the call button.
"However, don't worry, for you shall be free."
Walking out of the train station with his head covered, he chuckled under his breath.
"Toot." A sound issued from the phone, recognizing the press.
"BOOOM!"
Amidst the backdrop screams and fire, he walked calmly away.
Even as death cloaked the city of Tokyo.

Collapsing back to the chair in his rundown apartment in the middle of Tokyo, he switched on the television.
Like a master craftsmen admiring his handiwork, he sat in satisfaction as the news station zeroed on to the now smothering Tokyo station.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Just now, there was a terrorist attack launched on the Tokyo station, leading to 400 over casualties, not counting those that are still missing. The Fire department is still trying to clear the rubble that crushed the train still exiting the station. A suspect has been..."
"Looks like the police still have some brains eh? To identify a suspect so quickly...."
"Shiro Inanu, 17, currently a student at the Tokyo University, admitted on scholarship, has been identified as a prime suspect. Police are currently proceeding to apprehend him."
The scene switched to a room at a apartment, not unlike the one Shiro is currently in.
Yet, there is one difference.
He is not in that apartment.
"Time for part two."
Another number was dialed into the phone.
As Shiro watched the police moving in to assault the apartment, he begun a countdown.
"3...2...1..."
The apartment next to the building collapsed onto the apartment the police are currently in.
Following that, another explosion collapsed the foundations of the building.
The rubble from these two enduring explosion landed on exactly one spot.
Where all the police and press are gathered.
"The police are going to...AHHHHH!"
The camera lost all contact with the station, with the final footage being a splash of red.
"Hahaha....WHAHAHAHA!"
An laughter of pure madness issued from Shiro, as his eyes gleamed with a hint of insanity.

"Beep."
A sound came from the phone Shiro is holding.
A message.
Shiro glance at the message with a hint of disinterest, all the while casually looking at the television broadcasting his manhunt.
"Ha...fools. I am right next to you."
Shiro laughed mirthlessly at their search.
His apartment was indeed right beside the police HQ.
However, the next moment, his facial expression tighten up.
"I know who are you, Shiro-kun."
The first line of the message wrote.
"Come to us. This world is not enough to satisfy you."
"Come to Cyberworld ALICE."
"Who..."
The next part was even more strange.
"Shiro Inanu, The Terror
Strength: 20
Agility: 24
Intellect: 85
Wisdom: 87
Sigil: PERDERENT
Weapon: Tiny Sword (Explosive)"
"What in the...?"
"Welcome to the Cyberworld, Shiro."
His eyes faded to black at that line.

What happened in his past to cause him to be so?
What would he meet in that new world?
