This is the beginning of it all.

CHAPTER 1-

The Braxton family was walking down the quiet streets of Fort Thomas on the way to their home. After an exciting day at the Cincinnati Zoo, they needed the peace and quiet of the city. The father, Ted, smiles and asks his son, Jon, "So, what was your favorite animal at the zoo?"

"Ohh definitely the sloth," exclaimed the 10-year-old. The mother, Lilli, grinned at him. As they walked into the house, Ted thought he saw something pass out of the corner of his eye. He shrugged it off and continued walking into his house.

They walked a tired Jon upstairs, and after he fell asleep, Ted and Lilli sat on the couch, snuggling into one another. About an hour later, another voice, a weirdly sweet one at that, said, "Oh my Teddy Bear~" the voice quickly turned murderous and said "Is this your newfound love?!"

Freaked out, Ted jumped up. The only one to ever call him "Teddy Bear" was his ex, "SHARON?!?"

"Oh yes darling, now, I'm going to take your wife and son �"cute kid, by the way�" and get back with you! Now surrender them!"

"O-ok Sharon!" Lilli looked at him, totally betrayed.

"COREY!!!" shouted Sharon. A short male peeked out from behind a door,

"Yes Sharon?" Answered the guy, who must've been Corey.

"Grab the kid, we're going to test out your new system!"

Corey grew pale. "Y-yes Sharon." As Corey ran upstairs to grab his son,

Ted watched as Sharon tied up his wife, who was sobbing and asking,

"Why? Why Ted? Why?"

Corey came down with a still sleeping Jon, also tied up. He was struggling to lift up the kid, all the while muttering, "Chase wouldn't like this."

Sharon ordered Corey to bring both people to the car, as he was going to take them to the System. As Corey stumbled to the car, he was constantly muttering apologies. He sat the kid and Lilli in the back seat and locked them in. As he drove to the so-called System, the wife noticed he was slightly panicked. Corey arrived at the System and unlocked the car.

"C-c-carry the kid." Lilli obliged, and discreetly (or so she thought) looked left and right, searching for an exit. "Don't even try, lady." Corey said. She sighed and wondered how such a scared-looking, skinny boy could be so evil.

Corey unlocked the door and walked in with them. He locked the door and cut their bonds. "Wake up your son."

"W-w-what?"

"Wake. Him. Up." She woke Jon up. As he blinked awake, Jon looked around. Confused, he was about to try and leave, but Corey shoved Jon and Lilli into a hot and humid room.

"Welcome to the System. Level One has now commenced."
