My name is Raes Bastion. I had everything once. I was the CEO of a multi-billion corporation at the age of 19. I married the girl of my dreams, and we had a beautiful girl together. Then my uncle betrayed me. He and the rest of the Board members at my company set me up for fraud and embezzlement, something which led to the crash of the American economy. It took me 20 years, but now I'm free from prison. My wife left me when they threw me in there. She took my daughter and burned all the bridges between us, making sure that there wasn't anything I could do once I was out. Now I'm a penniless, middle-aged man with no hope for the future. But with my friend Caesar, and the new virtual reality game "Awakening", I think I can do it. I KNOW I can do it. I'll rise to the top again, AND THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY WHEN I DO!!! AUTHOR'S NOTE: BOOK 1 is finished, BOOK 2 has begun!
