Simon Riley.
Renowned as the elite special forces soldier of the British Special Air Service (SAS).
Having completed countless missions, facing life and death.
With his agile physique and outstanding combat awareness, he earned innumerable medals and honors.
His superiors consistently assigned the most dangerous frontline missions to Ghost's team.
Therefore,
During a mission to sweep out a notorious drug cartel, the elite Simon Riley and his team were logically deployed.
Simon Riley and his teammates infiltrated a drug lord's party disguised in skull costumes.
Their objective was to eliminate the group leader, Roba, but this operation failed utterly.
The reason was a traitor among them!
The betrayal by his teammates led to Simon Riley and the other members being captured by Roba.
Roba was no ordinary foe.
He recognized the exceptional physical condition of these men.
Thus, he employed various methods to brainwash them, forcing them to serve him.
In the following months.
Simon Riley endured inhuman torture; threats, enticements, and seductive temptations... none could shake his will of steel.
Roba gradually lost patience. They used a trident to pierce Riley's ribs.
Hooking the ribs, they hung him from a tree.
Blood gushed out continuously, flowing down his arms and ankles, the accumulated blood even splashing outwards!!
However,
Even under various tortures, even with the dual torment of mind and body, Riley still did not yield!
Finally, the cruel Roba gave up on brainwashing.
He lost interest in Riley, ordering his men to bury Riley alive in the same coffin as a highly decomposed corpse.
But,
Riley, with his formidable willpower, endured the crawling maggots all over him and pulled out the teeth of the decaying corpse to use as tools.
After digging for a full 13 hours, this resilient man clawed his way out of hell and forged a path to survival!
After emerging from the grave, he dragged his exhausted body across the vast Texan desert.
On the brink of death, he was rescued by a local sheriff.
After four months of recovery, his body regained its health, but the nightmare was not over. This horrifying, dehumanizing experience, lasting for months, caused Simon Riley severe psychological issues.
Coupled with the memories of mental torture inflicted by his abusive father during childhood, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
When Riley requested to rejoin his unit, the female psychologist deemed him incapable of full recovery and rejected his request.
The once disciplined and meticulous, excellent soldier Riley was now teetering on the edge of a mental collapse.
His dark side seemed poised to manifest at any moment.
With no other recourse, Riley had to follow his superior's orders and return home for recuperation.
Little did he know, his nightmare was just beginning.
Upon returning home, Riley lived a normal life. His young nephew adored him and always sought him out for playtime.
Fate never allowed a soldier too much peace.
An old comrade, Spark, suddenly visited, disrupting Riley's tranquil life.
This was no simple reunion of old friends.
The Spark before him had already been brainwashed by the drug lord Roba, becoming a traitor.
They murdered Riley's family and superior officer, and even his newborn nephew couldn't escape.
Furthermore, they framed Riley for all these atrocities.
This finally shattered Riley's last psychological defense.
This formidable SAS operative became the most dangerous man in all of Britain.
Riley descended into madness.
His world revolved solely around revenge.
Riley stealthily infiltrated the heavily guarded Bonnington Royal Air Force base.
He killed two sleeping traitors.
He then swapped identification tags with one of them before setting fire to everything associated with him.
In the purifying flames of righteous destruction, the former Simon Riley died, leaving behind only a ghost.
The traitors were dead, but revenge was far from over.
Ghost infiltrated the drug lord Roba's mansion alone, his intense hatred driving him to a killing spree.
Ultimately, he found Roba and ended his miserable life with two shots.
Roba, the terrorist drug lord whom three government armies couldn't handle, was thus eliminated by Simon Riley, or rather, by Ghost, single-handedly.
When the mansion burned and he avenged his enemies, the true 'Simon Riley' had already died. As he himself stated, 'I have nothing left now; only a shell filled with pain and hatred remains, and I can see no dawn of hope for survival.'
At this moment, a man appeared before him: Sheffield, who was assembling the 141st Special Operations Task Force.
Sheffield needed talent like Simon Riley, and Riley perhaps needed a new home.
Thus, Riley seamlessly joined the 141st Special Operations Task Force, adopting a suitable new name to conceal his identity—Ghost!
He donned sunglasses and a mask to hide his features.
This marked the beginning of another chapter in his life as Ghost.
As the second-in-command of the 141st Special Operations Task Force, he would continue to bring justice to scum like Roba.
The comic's story concluded here.
This brief chapter encapsulated the tragic first half of this soldier's life.
Lu Li uploaded the comic's content to stee/.
'Ghost was betrayed his entire life. Initially captured due to a traitor in his squad, after escaping, his family was killed by a betrayed comrade, and he ultimately died due to betrayal by his superior.... Sigh... a sigh that carries unspeakable sorrow.'
'No way, I'm skipping work today just to go in-game and kill Sheffield!!'
The rage within the commenter was palpable, even through the screen.
It could be said that
This comic was the straw that broke the camel's back for the players.
If being backstabbed by Sheffield, who had no background and no image, had caused them brief sorrow,
Or even caused them to distance themselves from the game, no longer willing to touch or experience it due to painful memories.
But, after learning about the tragic first half of this man's life,
They absolutely could not choose to ignore or escape. Sheffield must die; this vengeance must be taken!
They had rage that needed to be vented!
Vigorously vented!!
