Country H...

Six-years-old prince Jungkook and his beautiful and elegant mother were leisurely resting inside a luxurious villa after roaming around the lively city of Gyoza for days. They spent two weeks visiting the tourist spots happily and even though little Jungkook was a bit uninterested, he was happy because his mother was enjoying despite the absence of his cold father.

Jungkook was young but his way of thinking was far ahead from his age. That was why, he could already tell the absence of love and care in his father’s eyes. There was nothing in his eyes but greed and thirst for power. Causing Jungkook to swear within him to protect his dear mother at all cost because he somehow felt that his own father will never show any love or care for her.

"You... sigh... what kind of book are you reading again? I told you, try reading these fairytales. Those books are for old men and not for a cute little boy like you, you understand? Here, read this... since you don’t like it if I read them to you, I’ll just play a piano to boost your appetite to read them. Okay?" Princess Fei gently said as she took the book entitled ’The future of technological advancement’ and change it to a book entitled, ’beauty and the beast’. However, the little prince just stared at the book’s cover with blank uninterested eyes before he innocently looked at his mother.

"Mom, do you dislike that I’m very different from everyone?" he asked, causing his mother to just ruffle his hair gently as she leaned over.

"Listen little Jungkook... to me, you are different and nobody in the world is better than you. You are amazing and exceptional, and I’m really proud that my lovely son is such an intelligent person but... I just wanted you to experience the essence of being a child the normal way, do you understand?" she lovingly explained and Jungkook just nodded.

He never wanted to displease his mother so he obediently opened the book. However, upon reading the words ’once upon a time’, he immediately breathed a deep breath of boredom and he raised his head. And the moment his mother started playing the piano, he closed his eyes and leaned his head at his chair’s arm. Until eventually, the only words in the book that he actually read were ’once upon a time’, before he fell asleep as he listens to his lullaby.

...

The day of Jungkook’s birth day finally arrived but no Zhao Meng came. Fei couldn’t describe how hurt she felt, she knew there’s no love between them at all but she couldn’t believe that he actually doesn’t even care about their son as well. Rage and hate started forming in the good princess’ heart.

She’s been tolerating everything that her husband was doing all those years for the sake of Jungkook but that moment, she felt as though she finally reached her limit.

She wanted to cry and curse him but because Jungkook was beside her, she could only swallow her intense heartbreak.

Fei then decided to do the celebration as planned even without that good-for-nothing husband-by-name husband of hers.

However, that same day, chaos suddenly started to unfold one after another as though they were suddenly teleported from a peaceful world to a chaotic one.

Fei received a call from her husband but the word he said instantly froze her in fear.

Zhao Meng told them to go back home immediately. Telling her that Country H was already in a state of chaos.

The city of Gyoza was far from the capital and they felt no unrest and danger, however, scared that the unrest will spread, Fei could only move in haste.

Fei then immediately left their villa praying that they could still leave the country before everything is too late. But on their way to the airport, a deafening loud sound halted everything. And when a huge dark smoke ascended to the clear blue sky, everything went as though, all hell broke loose.

That single day, chaos enveloped the entire city of Gyoza. Networks were suddenly disabled and the sole airport was told to be already controlled by rebels. Causing extreme panic for both rich and poor individuals.

Fei and her son along with their three body guards then tried to leave the city by car along with thousands of people trying to flee. However, it was already too late. Within a single day, the city was already captured by the rebels.

After days of trying to find ways to escape, the mother and son were eventually captured.

One of the fighter that captured them recognized princess Fei. So they immediately brought the two of them in their newly established headquarter.

After days of captivity, the mother and son were kept in a certain room as prisoners. They weren’t treated badly but because of Fei’s fear due to the continuous war unfolding in the borders of the city, her health started crumbling down. Noticing his mother’s situation, the seven-year-old Jungkook started thinking how to help his mother.

Until days went by and the rebels started to notice Jungkook’s exceptional intelligence. One of the leader’s subordinate took him and taught him how to hack computers. And in just a matter of few days, the little genius Jungkook, mastered the science of hacking.

Overwhelming the rebels including their leaders to their deepest core.

Since then, they treated him like a real prince even though he’s indeed a real one. They also started treating his mother well, as per his request, giving
her everything she needed as well as a personal doctor to check on her health.

Little Jungkook doesn’t want them to touch his mother, and because the rebels knew she’s his weakness, they used her to make the boy agree in everything they wanted him to do.

Months went by and Jungkook learned almost everything about the so called red rebels. They were groups of different people, former soldiers, exiled individuals, rogue scientists, former activists, criminals and people who have extreme hate to the government. And the worse was that, the group were actually backed by various dark organizations and some powerful countries to create chaos and overthrow a certain government of their target. They were never some simple rebels. They were strong and many of them were people with superb skills, both of combat and intelligence. As though they were group of people carefully chosen to form an elite army that was capable enough to take over a big city.

Until eventually, the little prince was forced to join them. The young boy spent his days in front of computers as the group’s new ace hacker.

He was truly a hacking genius that left the rebels mouth hanged opened many times. Until another year went by and little Jungkook slowly became one of the world’s most dangerous hacker. The boy eventually became one of the group’s most important individual. He started hacking the enemy’s bases, stealing files and creating chaos within themselves, as ordered by the group’s leader. The organizations and the countries backing the Red rebels heard about him and they also started having great interest in him. Ordering everyone in the group to protect him at all cost and never to displease him.

They nurtured him, turning him into a powerful human weapon. They gave everything he asked. The only wish they never granted was his wish to let his mother go back home. Well, the leader was aware what kind of mind the young boy has. They knew that the moment they sent his mother home, they can never control him anymore.

The young boy Jungkook also started joining the combat training of some of the few skilled young teens the group recruited in the city. He was physically exceptional but the training was gruesome. They trained them how to fight and kill. The leader urged him not to join the training for fear that he might just injure himself but the boy was determined and he doesn’t listen to anybody else.

Until eventually, the civil war in country H has spread widely and various countries joined the war to drive away the red rebels. Due to that, as per order from the mastermind behind the red rebels, Jungkook and his mother were secretly transported to a certain secret base in the northern mountainous district of the neighboring country X.
