After being kidnapped and thrown into a VRMMORPG, 17-year-old Suzuki Mato must find the line between his real and in-game personalities before it kills him. ***** Following the death of his popular online persona, seventeen-year-old Suzuki Mato decides it's time to retire from professional VR gaming. However, his plans are abruptly cut short when he's kidnapped from his high school and forced to be a guinea pig for Genaco Gaming, the world's largest esports and entertainment company. Armed with nothing but his wit and a new online persona, he's thrown headfirst into the virtual reality of "Live No Evil," a VRMMORPG littered with overpowered bosses, secretive NPCs, and backstabbing gods. His mission? Find a way to conquer this new world and get back at the company that took over his life, all while avoiding 'Parallel' -- a condition that would make it impossible to separate his real and virtual personalities. Because in a world obsessed with VR gaming, Parallel means death, and Suzuki just doesn't have time for that...

"It's a bad idea dealing with Pirates....but dealing your life?" he asked raising an eyebrow at me. I bit my lip not replying He shrugged sitting down "Why cross something like that with cheaters and liars, love?" He won me over "It's not about living, it's about living free." I answered. He looked me in the eyes and my insides twisted. He finally nodded licking his lips "Okay, but if ya want me to help ya, how do ya know I won't cheat or lie to ya? Why trust me?" I chuckled walking to the door and as I grabbed the door knob he added "You are risking a lot asking fur me help." I looked over my shoulder at the cheater and liar staring at me "I don't have anything else. All I can do is just....improvise the rest of the way." He smiled showing his golden teeth "That's my favorite way." he said "I'll help ya. But you're hear warned! You're dealing with a pirate!" "I've dealt with them my whole life, Jack." I whispered walking out the door. I know this story may seem short with only seven chapters but I made sure to make the chapters longer than my other stories for you guys! Thanks and enjoy.

Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars.

The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard.
