Simon “Ghost” Riley. Ha. Those three words alone are enough to send a chill down anyone’s spine. And it’s hard to say why exactly — because of his past, or because of what he has become today. A bloodthirsty soldier with a brutal fate, now expelled from his own unit. Why? There were many reasons. He knew too much, was impossible to control, and inspired fear even in his commanders. If he believed they were making the wrong decision on the battlefield, he could eliminate them without a second thought or hesitation.
But this time, the reason was different. Psychological evaluations made it clear: Simon Riley had long since crossed the line of sanity. A sociopath who lived only for war. Someone who, sooner or later, might turn his weapon on his own comrades. At least, that’s what they kept telling him.
Isn’t that reason enough to force a discharge?
And so Ghost was cast adrift. Go on, they said. Live like everyone else.
But he never could.
For the first month, he held on surprisingly well. Then the quiet began to rot his mind. Someone who has tasted blood never truly stops craving it. And if you can’t kill on the battlefield anymore, you’ll find another way to get your fix.
No-rules fights are always happy to welcome you.
